< Jeremiah 52 >
1 Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Hamutal, the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
西底家登基的时候年二十一岁,在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫哈慕她,是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
2 And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,是照约雅敬一切所行的。
3 Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作,以致将人民从自己的面前赶出。
4 But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.
西底家背叛巴比伦王。他作王第九年十月初十日,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷,对城安营,四围筑垒攻城。
5 So the citie was besieged vnto the eleuenth yeere of the King Zedekiah.
于是城被围困直到西底家王十一年。
6 Now in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was sore in ye citie, so that there was no more bread for ye people of the land.
四月初九日,城里有大饥荒,甚至百姓都没有粮食。
7 Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes.
城被攻破,一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门,出城逃跑;迦勒底人正在四围攻城。他们就往亚拉巴逃去。
8 But the army of the Caldeans pursued after the king, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Iericho, and all his host was scattered from him.
迦勒底的军队追赶西底家王,在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全军都离开他四散了。
9 Then they tooke the king and caryed him vp vnto the king of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.
迦勒底人就拿住王,带他到在哈马地利比拉的巴比伦王那里;巴比伦王便审判他。
10 And the king of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes he slew also al ye princes of Iudah in Riblah.
巴比伦王在西底家眼前杀了他的众子,又在利比拉杀了犹大的一切首领,
11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bound him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in pryson till the day of his death.
并且剜了西底家的眼睛,用铜链锁着他,带到巴比伦去,将他囚在监里,直到他死的日子。
12 Now in the fift moneth in the tenth day of the moneth (which was the nineteenth yere of ye King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward which stoode before the king of Babel in Ierusalem,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日,在巴比伦王面前侍立的护卫长尼布撒拉旦进入耶路撒冷,
13 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.
用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫,又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋,就是各大户家的房屋。
14 And al the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chiefe steward, brake downe all ye walles of Ierusalem round about.
跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙。
15 Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward caried away captiue certaine of the poore of the people, and the residue of the people that remayned in the citie, and those that were fled, and fallen to the king of Babel, with the rest of the multitude.
那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将民中最穷的和城里所剩下的百姓,并已经投降巴比伦王的人,以及大众所剩下的人,都掳去了。
16 But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left certaine of the poore of the lande, to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
但护卫长尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最穷的,使他们修理葡萄园,耕种田地。
17 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 ye Lord, the Caldeans brake, and caried all the brasse of them to Babel.
耶和华殿的铜柱并殿内的盆座和铜海,迦勒底人都打碎了,将那铜运到巴比伦去了,
18 The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musicke, and the basins, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brasse wherewith they ministred, tooke they away.
又带去锅、铲子、蜡剪、盘子、调羹,并所用的一切铜器、
19 And the bowles, and the ashpannes, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlestickes, and the incense dishes, and the cuppes, and all that was of golde, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
杯、火鼎、碗、盆、灯台、调羹、爵,无论金的银的,护卫长也都带去了。
20 With the two pillars, one Sea, and twelue brasen bulles, that were vnder the bases, which King Salomon had made in ye house of ye Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海,并座下的十二只铜牛,这一切的铜多得无法可称。
21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse it, and the thicknesse thereof was foure fingers: it was holowe.
这一根柱子高十八肘,厚四指,是空的,围十二肘。
22 And a chapiter of brasse was vpon it, and the height of one chapiter was fiue cubites with networke, and pomegranates vpon the chapiters round about, all of brasse: the seconde pillar also, and the pomegranates were like vnto these.
柱上有铜顶,高五肘;铜顶的周围有网子和石榴,都是铜的。那一根柱子照此一样,也有石榴。
23 And there were ninetie and sixe pomegranates on a side: and all the pomegranates vpon the net worke were an hundreth round about.
柱子四面有九十六个石榴,在网子周围,共有一百石榴。
24 And the chiefe steward tooke Sheraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the seconde Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅、副祭司西番亚,和三个把门的,
25 Hee tooke also out of the citie an Eunuch, which had the ouersight of the men of warre, and seuen men that were in the Kings presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captayne of the hoste who mustered the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the middes of the citie.
又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官,并在城里所遇常见王面的七个人和检点国民军长的书记,以及城里所遇见的国民六十个人。
26 Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the king of Babel to Riblah.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到利比拉的巴比伦王那里。
27 And the king of Babel smote them, and slewe them in Riblah, in the lande of Hamath: thus Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.
巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉。这样,犹大人被掳去离开本地。
28 This is the people, whome Nebuchad-nezzar caried away captiue, in the seuenth yeere, euen three thousande Iewes, and three and twentie.
尼布甲尼撒所掳的民数记在下面:在他第七年掳去犹大人三千零二十三名;
29 In the eightenth yere of Nebuchad-nezzar he caried away captiue from Ierusalem eight hundreth thirtie and two persons.
尼布甲尼撒十八年从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人;
30 In the three and twentieth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue of the Iewes seuen hundreth fourtie and fiue persons: all the persons were foure thousand and sixe hundreth.
尼布甲尼撒二十三年,护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去犹大人七百四十五名;共有四千六百人。
31 And in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the captiuitie of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, and brought him out of pryson,
犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年,巴比伦王以未·米罗达元年十二月二十五日,使犹大王约雅斤抬头,提他出监,
32 And spake kindly vnto him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings, that were with him in Babel,
又对他说恩言,使他的位高过与他一同在巴比伦众王的位,
33 And changed his pryson garmentes, and he did continually eate bread before him all the dayes of his life.
给他脱了囚服。他终身在巴比伦王面前吃饭。
34 His porcion was a continuall portion giuen him of ye king of Babel, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life vntill he died.
巴比伦王赐他所需用的食物,日日赐他一分,终身是这样,直到他死的日子。
