2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about it.
漆德克雅為王九年十月十日，巴比倫王拿步高率領全軍前進攻耶路撒冷，紮營圍城，在城四周建築了壁壘，
2 And the city was put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
圍攻京城，直到漆德克雅為王十一年。
3 And on the ninth of the month, when the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land:
是年四月九日，城中發生了嚴重的飢荒，當地人民已沒有食糧，
4 The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people went the way toward the plain.
京城遂被攻破。加加丁人還在圍攻城時，君王和全體士兵，夜間出了靠近御園的雙牆城門，逃往阿辣巴。
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.
加色丁軍隊便追趕君王，在耶利哥曠野追上了；此時他的軍隊都已離開他散了。
6 And they seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
加色丁軍隊擒獲了君王，帶他去黎貝拉去見巴比倫王。巴比倫王就宣判他的罪案，
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
且在漆德克雅眼前殺了他的兒子，也剜了他的眼，給他帶上鎖鏈，送往巴比倫去。
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
巴比倫王拿步高為王十九年五月七日，巴比倫王的大臣，衛隊長乃步匝辣當來到了耶路撒冷，
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; also, all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
燒毀了上主的殿、王宮和耶路撒冷所有的民房；凡是高大的建築都用火燒了。
10 And the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
跟隨衛長的所有加色丁軍隊，拆毀了耶路撒冷周圍是城牆。
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
城中剩下的人民和已投降巴比倫王的人，以及其餘的平民，衛隊長乃步匝辣當都擄了去，
12 But from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
只留下當地一部分最窮的平民作園丁和農夫。
13 And the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof to Babylon.
加色丁人又將上主殿前的銅柱，和上主殿內的銅座、銅海都打碎，把銅運往巴比倫；
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, took they away.
此外，鍋、鏟、蠟剪、香盤，以及行禮的一切銅器，全都帶走；
15 And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
提爐、杯爵，凡是純金純銀的，衛隊長都拿走了。
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
撒羅滿為上主的殿所製造的兩根柱子，一個銅海和一些盆座，這一切器皿所用的銅，重量無法估計。
17 Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
一根柱子高十八肘，上端有同柱頭，高五肘，柱頭四周有網子和石榴，全是銅的；另一根柱子，也有網子。
18 And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
隊長又擒獲了大司祭色辣雅、副大司祭責法尺雅和三個門丁；
19 And out of the city he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
由城中擄去了一個管理軍隊的宦官，五個在城內搜到的君王的親信，一個徵募當地人民的軍長的書記．和城中搜到的六十個當地平民。
20 And Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
衛隊長乃步匝辣當捉住他們，帶到黎貝拉去見巴比倫王；
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile out of their land.
巴比倫王就在哈瑪特地的黎貝拉將他們殺了；從此，猶大人由本鄉被擄去充軍。
22 And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
巴比倫王拿步高對留在猶大地的人民，派定了沙番的孫子，阿希甘的兒子革達里雅作他們的首長。
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, they and their men.
眾軍長和他們的士兵一聽說巴比倫王委派了革達里雅為首長，乃塔尺雅的兒子依市瑪耳，卡勒亞的兒子約哈南，乃托法人堂胡默特的兒子色辣雅，瑪阿加人的兒子雅匝尼雅和他們的士兵，都來到米茲帕見革達里雅。
24 And Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will be well with you.
革達里雅遂對他們和他們的士兵起誓說：「你們不要害怕加色丁人的臣僕，安心住在此地，服事巴比倫王，就必能相安無事」。
25 But it happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
但是到了七月，王家的後裔厄里沙瑪的孫子，乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳帶了十個人前來，殺了革達里雅，和與他同在米茲帕的猶大人及加色丁人。
26 And then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
於是所有的人民，不分貴賤大小和眾軍長，因為害怕加色丁人，都起身逃往埃及去了。
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the prison;
猶大王耶苛尼雅被擄後第三十七年十二月二十七日，巴比倫王厄威耳默洛達客在他登極元年，大赦猶大王耶苛尼雅，放他出獄，
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his chair above the chair of the kings that were with him in Babylon:
親切與他交談，令他坐在與他一同在巴比倫的眾王之上。
29 And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
耶苛尼雅脫去囚服，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
他的生活費用，在他有生之日，每天不斷由巴比倫王供應。
