Jeremiah 39
1 It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
Anno nono Sedeciæ regis Iuda, mense decimo, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus eius ad Ierusalem, et obsidebant eam.
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
Undecimo autem anno Sedeciæ, mense quarto, quinta mensis aperta est civitas.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon.
Et ingressi sunt omnes principes regis Babylonis, et sederunt in porta media: Neregel-Sereser antistes Nabu, Sarsachim princeps eunuchus, Neregel-Sereser princeps magus, et omnes reliqui principes regis Babylonis.
4 It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
Cumque vidisset eos Sedecias rex Iuda, et omnes viri bellatores, fugerunt: et egressi sunt nocte de civitate per viam horti regis, et per portam, quæ erat inter duos muros, et egressi sunt ad viam deserti.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
Persecutus est autem eos exercitus Chaldæorum: et comprehenderunt Sedeciam in campo solitudinis Ierichontinæ, et captum adduxerunt ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quæ est in Terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
Et occidit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciæ in Reblatha, in oculis eius: et omnes nobiles Iuda occidit rex Babylonis.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Oculos quoque Sedeciæ eruit: et vinxit eum compedibus ut duceretur in Babylonem.
8 The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Domum quoque regis, et domum vulgi succenderunt Chaldæi igni, et murum Ierusalem subverterunt.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.
Et reliquias populi, qui remanserant in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad eum, et superfluos vulgi, qui remanserant, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militum in Babylonem.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Et de plebe pauperum, qui nihil penitus habebant, dimisit Nabuzardan magister militum in Terra Iuda: et dedit eis vineas, et cisternas in die illa.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
Præceperat autem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de Ieremia Nabuzardan magistro militum, dicens:
12 "Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
Tolle illum, et pone super eum oculos tuos, nihilque ei mali facias: sed, ut voluerit, sic facias ei.
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
Misit ergo Nabuzardan princeps militiæ, et Nabusezban princeps eunuchus, et Neregel-Sereser princeps magus, et omnes optimates regis Babylonis,
14 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
miserunt, et tulerunt Ieremiam de vestibulo carceris, et tradiderunt eum Godoliæ filio Ahicam filii Saphan ut intraret in domum, et habitaret in populo.
15 Now the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Ad Ieremiam autem factus fuerat sermo Domini cum clausus esset in vestibulo carceris, dicens:
16 "Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
Vade, et dic Abdemelech Æthiopi, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam sermones meos super civitatem hanc in malum, et non in bonum: et erunt in conspectu tuo in die illa.
17 But I will deliver you in that day, says Jehovah; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Et liberabo te in die illa, ait Dominus: et non traderis in manus virorum, quos tu formidas:
18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says Jehovah."
Sed eruens liberabo te, et gladio non cades: sed erit tibi anima tua in salutem, quia in me habuisti fiduciam, ait Dominus.
