2 Kings 25
1 And in the ninth yeere of his reigne, the tenth moneth and tenth day of the moneth Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came, he, and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and they built fortes against it round about it.
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。
2 So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.
於是城被圍困，直到西底家王十一年。
3 And the ninth day of the moneth the famine was sore in the citie, so that there was no bread for the people of the lande.
四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。
4 Then the citie was broken vp, and all the men of warre fled by night, by the way of the gate, which is betweene two walles that was by the Kings garden: nowe the Caldees were by the citie round about: and the King went by the way of the wildernesse.
城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門逃跑。迦勒底人正在四圍攻城，王就向亞拉巴逃走。
5 But the armie of the Caldees pursued after the King, and tooke him in the desertes of Iericho, and all his hoste was scattered from him.
迦勒底的軍隊追趕王，在耶利哥的平原追上他；他的全軍都離開他四散了。
6 Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
迦勒底人就拿住王，帶他到在利比拉的巴比倫王那裏審判他。
7 And they slew the sonnes of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel.
在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，並且剜了西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，帶到巴比倫去。
8 And in the fift moneth, and seuenth day of the moneth, which was the nineteenth yere of King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, came Nebuzar-adan chiefe stewarde and seruaunt of the King of Babel, to Ierusalem,
巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初七日，巴比倫王的臣僕、護衛長尼布撒拉旦來到耶路撒冷，
9 And burnt the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he 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。
10 And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem 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。
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen to the King of Babel, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward carie away captiue.
那時護衛長尼布撒拉旦將城裏所剩下的百姓，並已經投降巴比倫王的人，以及大眾所剩下的人，都擄去了。
12 But the chiefe steward left of the poore of the land to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
但護衛長留下些民中最窮的，使他們修理葡萄園，耕種田地。
13 Also the pillars of brasse that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Caldees breake, and caried the brasse of them to Babel.
耶和華殿的銅柱，並耶和華殿的盆座和銅海，迦勒底人都打碎了，將那銅運到巴比倫去了，
14 The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musike, and the incense dishes, and al the vessels of brasse that they ministred in, tooke they away.
又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、調羹，並所用的一切銅器，
15 And the asshe pannes, and the basens, and all that was of gold, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
火鼎、碗，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。
16 With the two pillars, one Sea and the bases, which Salomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
所羅門為耶和華殿所造的兩根銅柱、一個銅海，和幾個盆座，這一切的銅，多得無法可稱。
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteene cubits, and the chapiter thereon was brasse, and the height of the chapiter was with networke three cubites, and pomegranates vpon the chapiter rounde about, all of brasse: and likewise was the second pillar with the networke.
這一根柱子高十八肘，柱上有銅頂，高三肘；銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴，都是銅的。那一根柱子，照此一樣，也有網子。
18 And the chiefe steward tooke Seraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the second Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
護衛長拿住大祭司西萊雅、副祭司西番亞，和三個把門的，
19 And out of the citie hee tooke an Eunuch that had the ouersight of the men of warre, and fiue men of them that were in the Kinges presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captaine of the hoste, who mustred the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the lande, that were founde in the citie.
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五個人和檢點國民軍長的書記，以及城裏遇見的國民六十個人。
20 And Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the King of Babel to Riblah.
護衛長尼布撒拉旦將這些人帶到在利比拉的巴比倫王那裏。
21 And the King of Babel smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne 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。
22 Howbeit there remained people in the land of Iudah, whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel left, and made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan ruler ouer them.
至於猶大國剩下的民，就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒所剩下的，巴比倫王立了沙番的孫子、亞希甘的兒子基大利作他們的省長。
23 Then when all the captaines of the host and their men heard, that the king of Babel had made Gedaliah gouernour, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Iaazaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
眾軍長和屬他們的人聽見巴比倫王立了基大利作省長，於是軍長尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利、加利亞的兒子約哈難、尼陀法人單戶蔑的兒子西萊雅、瑪迦人的兒子雅撒尼亞，和屬他們的人都到米斯巴見基大利。
24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees: dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel, and ye shalbe well.
基大利向他們和屬他們的人起誓說：「你們不必懼怕迦勒底臣僕，只管住在這地服事巴比倫王，就可以得福。」
25 But in the seuenth moneth Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah the sonne of Elishama of the Kings seede, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and so did he the Iewes, and the Caldees that were with him at Mizpah.
七月間，宗室以利沙瑪的孫子、尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利帶着十個人來，殺了基大利和同他在米斯巴的猶大人與迦勒底人。
26 Then all ye people both small and great, and the captaines of the armie arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraide of the Caldees.
於是眾民，無論大小，連眾軍長；因為懼怕迦勒底人，都起身往埃及去了。
27 Notwithstanding in the seuen and thirtieth yeere after Iehoiachin King of Iudah was caried away, in the twelft moneth and the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel in the yeere that hee began to reigne, did lift vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah out of the prison,
猶大王約雅斤被擄後三十七年，巴比倫王以未‧米羅達元年十二月二十七日，使猶大王約雅斤抬頭，提他出監；
28 And spake kindly to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings that were with him in Babel,
又對他說恩言，使他的位高過與他一同在巴比倫眾王的位，
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his life.
給他脫了囚服。他終身常在巴比倫王面前吃飯。
30 And his portion was a continual portion giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life.
王賜他所需用的食物，日日賜他一分，終身都是這樣。
