Jeremiah 52
1 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
西底家登基的時候年二十一歲，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母親名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女兒。
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
西底家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，是照約雅敬一切所行的。
3 For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
因此耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作，以致將人民從自己的面前趕出。
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts against it round about.
西底家背叛巴比倫王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來攻擊耶路撒冷，對城安營，四圍築壘攻城。
5 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
於是城被圍困直到西底家王十一年。
6 And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food for the people of the land.
四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。
7 And the city was broken up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king’s garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.
城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門，出城逃跑；迦勒底人正在四圍攻城。他們就往亞拉巴逃去。
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.
迦勒底的軍隊追趕西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全軍都離開他四散了。
9 And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
迦勒底人就拿住王，帶他到在哈馬地利比拉的巴比倫王那裏；巴比倫王便審判他。
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.
巴比倫王在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，又在利比拉殺了猶大的一切首領，
11 And he put out the eyes of Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he put him in prison till the day of his death.
並且剜了西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，帶到巴比倫去，將他囚在監裏，直到他死的日子。
12 And in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem.
巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日，在巴比倫王面前侍立的護衛長尼布撒拉旦進入耶路撒冷，
13 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt with fire.
用火焚燒耶和華的殿和王宮，又焚燒耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大戶家的房屋。
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
跟從護衛長迦勒底的全軍就拆毀耶路撒冷四圍的城牆。
15 But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
那時護衛長尼布撒拉旦將民中最窮的和城裏所剩下的百姓，並已經投降巴比倫王的人，以及大眾所剩下的人，都擄去了。
16 But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
但護衛長尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最窮的，使他們修理葡萄園，耕種田地。
17 The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
耶和華殿的銅柱並殿內的盆座和銅海，迦勒底人都打碎了，將那銅運到巴比倫去了，
18 And they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and
又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、盤子、調羹，並所用的一切銅器、
19 The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:
杯、火鼎、碗、盆、燈臺、調羹、爵，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。
20 And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.
所羅門為耶和華殿所造的兩根銅柱、一個銅海，並座下的十二隻銅牛，這一切的銅多得無法可稱。
21 And concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.
這一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，是空的，圍十二肘。
22 And chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
柱上有銅頂，高五肘；銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴，都是銅的。那一根柱子照此一樣，也有石榴。
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
柱子四面有九十六個石榴，在網子周圍，共有一百石榴。
24 And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
護衛長拿住大祭司西萊雅、副祭司西番亞，和三個把門的，
25 He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
又從城中拿住一個管理兵丁的官，並在城裏所遇常見王面的七個人和檢點國民軍長的書記，以及城裏所遇見的國民六十個人。
26 And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
護衛長尼布撒拉旦將這些人帶到利比拉的巴比倫王那裏。
27 And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda was carried away captive out of his land.
巴比倫王就把他們擊殺在哈馬地的利比拉。這樣，猶大人被擄去離開本地。
28 This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
尼布甲尼撒所擄的民數記在下面：在他第七年擄去猶大人三千零二十三名；
29 In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
尼布甲尼撒十八年從耶路撒冷擄去八百三十二人；
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
尼布甲尼撒二十三年，護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄去猶大人七百四十五名；共有四千六百人。
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, and brought him forth out of prison.
猶大王約雅斤被擄後三十七年，巴比倫王以未‧米羅達元年十二月二十五日，使猶大王約雅斤抬頭，提他出監，
32 And he spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
又對他說恩言，使他的位高過與他一同在巴比倫眾王的位，
33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
給他脫了囚服。他終身在巴比倫王面前吃飯。
34 And for his diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
巴比倫王賜他所需用的食物，日日賜他一分，終身是這樣，直到他死的日子。
