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.
Factum est autem anno nono regni eius, mense decimo, decima die mensis, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, ipse et omnis exercitus eius in Ierusalem, et circumdederunt eam: et extruxerunt in circuitu eius munitiones.
2 So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.
Et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciæ,
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.
nona die mensis: prævaluitque fames in civitate, nec erat panis populo terræ.
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.
Et interrupta est civitas: et omnes viri bellatores nocte fugerunt per viam portæ, quæ est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis: porro Chaldæi obsidebant in circuitu civitatem: fugit itaque Sedecias per viam, quæ ducit ad campestria solitudinis.
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.
Et persecutus est exercitus Chaldæorum regem, comprehenditque eum in planitie Iericho: et omnes bellatores, qui erant cum eo, dispersi sunt, et reliquerunt eum.
6 Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
Apprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha: qui locutus est cum eo iudicium.
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.
Filios autem Sedeciæ occidit coram eo, et oculos eius effodit, vinxitque eum catenis, et adduxit in Babylonem.
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,
Mense quinto, septima die mensis, ipse est annus nonus decimus regis Babylonis: venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus, servus regis Babylonis, in Ierusalem.
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.
Et succendit domum Domini, et domum regis: et domos Ierusalem, omnemque domum combussit igni.
10 And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem round about.
Et muros Ierusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldæorum, qui erat cum principe militum.
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.
Reliquam autem populi partem, quæ remanserat in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis, et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ.
12 But the chiefe steward left of the poore of the land to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
Et de pauperibus terræ reliquit vinitores et agricolas.
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.
Columnas autem æreas, quæ erant in templo Domini, et bases, et mare æreum, quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldæi, et transtulerunt æs omne in Babylonem.
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.
Ollas quoque æreas, et trullas, et tridentes, et scyphos, et mortariola, et omnia vasa ærea, in quibus ministrabant, tulerunt.
15 And the asshe pannes, and the basens, and all that was of gold, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
Necnon et thuribula, et phialas: quæ aurea, aurea: et quæ argentea, argentea tulit princeps militiæ,
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.
id est, columnas duas, mare unum, et bases quas fecerat Salomon in templo Domini: non erat pondus æris omnium vasorum.
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.
Decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una: et capitellum æreum super se altitudinis trium cubitorum: et retiaculum, et malogranata super capitellum columnæ, omnia ærea: similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum.
18 And the chiefe steward tooke Seraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the second Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
Tulit quoque princeps militiæ Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum, et tres ianitores.
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.
Et de civitate eunuchum unum, qui erat præfectus super bellatores viros: et quinque viros de his, qui steterant coram rege, quos reperit in civitate: et Sopher principem exercitus, qui probabat tyrones de populo terræ: et sexaginta viros e vulgo, qui inventi fuerant in civitate.
20 And Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the King of Babel to Riblah.
Quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps militum, duxit ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
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.
Percussitque eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.
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.
Populo autem, qui relictus erat in Terra Iuda, quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, præfecit Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan.
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.
Quod cum audissent omnes duces militum, ipsi et viri qui erant cum eis, videlicet quod constituisset rex Babylonis Godoliam: venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha, Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et Iohanan filius Caree, et Saraia filius Thanehumeth Netophathites, et Iezonias filius Maachathi, ipsi et socii eorum.
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.
Iuravitque Godolias ipsis et sociis eorum, dicens: Nolite timere servire Chaldæis: manete in terra, et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.
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.
Factum est autem in mense septimo, venit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, filii Elisama de semine regio, et decem viri cum eo: percusseruntque Godoliam, qui et mortuus est: sed et Iudæos et Chaldæos, qui erant cum eo in Maspha.
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.
Consurgensque omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum, et principes militum venerunt in Ægyptum timentes Chaldæos.
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,
Factum est vero in anno trigesimo septimo transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iuda, mense duodecimo, vigesima septima die mensis: sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis, anno, quo regnare cœperat, caput Ioachin regis Iuda de carcere.
28 And spake kindly to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings that were with him in Babel,
Et locutus est ei benigne: et posuit thronum eius super thronum regum, qui erant cum eo in Babylone.
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his life.
Et mutavit vestes eius, quas habuerat in carcere, et comedebat panem semper in conspectu eius cunctis diebus vitæ suæ.
30 And his portion was a continual portion giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life.
Annonam quoque constituit ei sine intermissione, quæ et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitæ suæ.
