Jeremiah 52

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

١ كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا فِي الْحَادِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَتَوَلَّى الْحُكْمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.

2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

٢ وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.

3 For through the anger of the LORD it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

٣ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَا أَصَابَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا إِلا نَتِيجَةً لِغَضَبِ الرَّبِّ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ نَبَذَهُمْ مِنْ حَضْرَتِهِ. وَتَمَرَّدَ صِدْقِيَّا عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

4 It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and camped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

٤ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ لِحُكْمِهِ، زَحَفَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بِجَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا وَبَنَى حَوْلَهَا الْمَتَارِيسَ.

5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

٥ وَظَلَّتِ الْمَدِينَةُ تَحْتَ الْحِصَارِ حَتَّى السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ صِدْقِيَّا.

6 In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

٦ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الرَّابِعِ اسْتَفْحَلَ الْجُوعُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ طَعَامٌ لِشَعْبِ الأَرْضِ.

7 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city all around; ) and they went toward the Arabah.

٧ فَفَتَحَ الشَّعْبُ ثُغْرَةً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَهَرَبَ جَمِيعُ الْمُحَارِبِينَ وَغَادَرُوا الْمَدِينَةَ لَيْلاً مِنْ طَرِيقِ الْبَوَّابَةِ الْوَاقِعَةِ بَيْنَ السُّورَيْنِ الْقَرِيبَيْنِ مِنْ بُسْتَانِ الْمَلِكِ، وَالْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ مَا بَرِحُوا مُحَاصِرِينَ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَانْطَلَقُوا فِي طَرِيقِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ.

8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

٨ لَكِنَّ جَيْشَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ تَعَقَّبَ الْمَلِكَ، وَأَدْرَكَ صِدْقِيَّا فِي سُهُولِ أَرِيحَا وَقَدْ تَفَرَّقَ عَنْهُ جَمِيعُ جَيْشِهِ،

9 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.

٩ فَقَبَضُوا عَلَيْهِ وَأَخَذُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فِي رَبْلَةَ، فِي مِنْطَقَةِ حَمَاةَ، فَأَصْدَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءَهُ.

10 The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the officials of Judah in Riblah.

١٠ وَذَبَحَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ أَبْنَاءَ صِدْقِيَّا عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُ وَقَتَلَ أَيْضاً جَمِيعَ أَشْرَافِ يَهُوذَا فِي رَبْلَةَ.

11 He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

١١ وَفَقَأَ عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا وَأَوْثَقَهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، ثُمَّ سَاقَهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ حَيْثُ زَجَّهُ فِي السِّجْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ.

12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

١٢ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقِفُ دَائِماً فِي حَضْرَةِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

13 and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

١٣ وَأَحْرَقَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ وَقَصْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَجَمِيعَ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَضْرَمَ النَّارَ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ الْعُظَمَاءِ،

14 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

١٤ وَهَدَمَ كُلُّ جَيْشِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ الْمُرَافِقِ لِرَئِيسِ الشُّرْطَةِ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها.

15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

١٥ وَأَجْلَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ بَعْضاً مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ الْبَلَدِ، وَمَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْهَارِبِينَ الَّذِينَ لَجَأُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ مَعَ سَائِرِ الْحِرَفِيِّينَ.

16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

١٦ وَلَكِنَّهُ أَبْقَى عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَسَاكِينِ لِيَكُونُوا كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلّاحِينَ.

17 The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.

١٧ وَحَطَّمَ الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ أَعْمِدَةَ النُّحَاسِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَالْقَوَاعِدَ وَالبِرْكَةَ النُّحَاسِيَّةَ القَائِمَةَ فِيهِ، وَنَقَلُوا كُلَّ نُحَاسِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

18 They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.

١٨ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا أَيْضاً عَلَى الْقُدُورِ وَالرُّفُوشِ وَالْمَجَارِفِ وَالْمَنَاضِحِ وَالصُّحُونِ وَكُلِّ آنِيَةِ النُّحَاسِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسْتَخْدَمُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ.

19 The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

١٩ كَمَا أَخَذَ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ الطُّسُوسَ وَالْمَجَامِرَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ وَالْقُدُورَ وَالْمَنَائِرَ وَالصُّحُونَ وَالأَقْدَاحَ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ وَالْفِضِّيَّةَ.

20 They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.

٢٠ كَذَلِكَ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى الْعَمُودَيْنِ وَالْبِرْكَةِ وَالاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْراً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ الْقَائِمَةِ تَحْتَ الْقَوَاعِدِ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، فَكَانَ النُّحَاسُ لِكَثْرَتِهِ يَفُوقُ كُلَّ وَزْنٍ.

21 As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eight feet seven inches; and a line of twenty feet eight inches encircled it; and its thickness was almost three inches. It was hollow.

٢١ وَكَانَ طُولُ كُلِّ عَمُودٍ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ تِسْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَمُحِيطُهُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَسُمْكُهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَصَابِعَ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَفَ،

22 A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was eight feet seven inches, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.

٢٢ وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ ارْتِفَاعُهُ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَيُحِيطُ بِالتَّاجِ شَبَكَةٌ وَرُمَّانَاتٌ وَكُلُّهَا مَصْنُوعَةٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَكَانَ الْعَمُودُ الثَّانِي مُمَاثِلاً لَهُ بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الرُّمَّانَاتُ.

23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

٢٣ وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الرُّمَّانَاتِ عَلَى مُحِيطِهِ سِتّاً وَتِسْعِينَ رُمَّانَةً، وَجُمْلَةُ الرُّمَّانِ عَلَى مُحِيطِ الشَّبَكَةِ مِئَةُ رُمَّانَةٍ.

24 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

٢٤ وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ سَرَايَا رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَنَائِبَهُ صَفَنْيَا الْكَاهِنَ وَحُرَّاسَ الْبَابِ الثَّلاثَةَ.

25 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

٢٥ وَاعْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْخَصِيَّ الْقَائِدَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَتَوَلَّى قِيَادَةَ الْمُحَارِبِينَ، كَمَا اعْتَقَلَ سَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ حَاشِيَةِ الْمَلِكِ مِمَّنْ عَثَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَمِينَ سِرِّ قَائِدِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُجَنِّدُ شَعْبَ الْبَلَدِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَدِ اخْتَبَأُوا دَاخِلَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

26 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

٢٦ فَأَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ وَسَاقَهُمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ فِي رَبْلَةَ،

27 The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

٢٧ فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ حَمَاةَ. وَهَكَذَا سُبِيَ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;

٢٨ وَهَذَا هُوَ إِحْصَاءُ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِينَ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ: ثَلاثَةُ آلافٍ وَثَلاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ.

29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

٢٩ وَسَبَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِحُكْمِهِ ثَمَانِي مِئَةٍ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ شَخْصاً.

30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

٣٠ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ لِحُكْمِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ سَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ الشُّرْطَةِ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ شَخْصاً، فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلافٍ وَسِتَّ مِئَةِ شَخْصٍ.

31 It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Awil-Marduk king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

٣١ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ (أَيْ شَبَاطَ فِبْرَايِرَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، أَكْرَمَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ، مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ اعْتِلائِهِ الْعَرْشَ، يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ السِّجْنِ.

32 and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

٣٢ وَخَاطَبَهُ بِطَيِّبِ الْكَلامِ، وَرَفَعَ مَقَامَهُ فَوْقَ مَقَامِ سَائِرِ الْمُلُوكِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ.

33 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

٣٣ فَخَلَعَ يَهُويَاكِينُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ، وَظَلَّ يَتَنَاوَلُ الطَّعَامَ فِي حَضْرَةِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ طَوَالَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

34 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

٣٤ وَعُيِّنَتْ لَهُ نَفَقَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ يَقْبِضُهَا مِنْ خِزَانَةِ مَالِ الْمَلِكِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مَدَى أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، وَإِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ.
