< Jeremiah 52 >
1 Zedekiah was one and twenty 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.
Filius viginti et unius anni erat Sedecias cum regnare cœpisset: et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem, et nomen matris eius Amital, filia Ieremiæ de Lobna.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Et fecit malum in oculis Domini, iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ioakim.
3 For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Quoniam furor Domini erat in Ierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiiceret eos a facie sua: et recessit Sedecias a rege Babylonis.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Factum est autem in anno nono regni eius, in mense decimo, decima mensis: Venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, ipse et omnis exercitus eius adversus Ierusalem, et obsederunt eam, et ædificaverunt contra eam munitiones in circuitu.
5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Et fuit civitas obsessa usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciæ.
6 In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Mense autem quarto, nona mensis obtinuit fames civitatem: et non erant alimenta populo terræ.
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 round about: ) and they went by the way of the Arabah.
Et dirupta est civitas, et omnes viri bellatores eius fugerunt, exieruntque de civitate nocte per viam portæ, quæ est inter duos muros, et ducit ad hortum regis (Chaldæis obsidentibus urbem in gyro) et abierunt per viam, quæ ducit in eremum.
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.
Persecutus est autem Chadæorum exercitus regem: et apprehenderunt Sedeciam in deserto, quod est iuxta Iericho: et omnis comitatus eius diffugit ab eo.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.
Cumque comprehendissent regem, adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quæ est in terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciæ in oculis eius: sed et omnes principes Iuda occidit in Reblatha.
11 And 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 till the day of his death.
Et oculos Sedeciæ eruit, et vinxit eum compedibus, et adduxit eum rex Babylonis in Babylonem, et posuit eum in domo carceris usque ad diem mortis eius.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, which stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
In mense autem quinto, decima mensis, ipse est annus nonusdecimus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis: venit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ, qui stabat coram rege Babylonis in Ierusalem.
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.
Et incendit domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnes domos Ierusalem, et omnem domum magnam igni combussit.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Et totum murum Ierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldæorum, qui erat cum magistro militiæ.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
De pauperibus autem populi, et de reliquo vulgo, quod remanserat in civitate, et de perfugis, qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis, et ceteros de multitudine, transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
De pauperibus vero terræ reliquit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ vinitores, et agricolas.
17 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brasen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Columnas quoque æreas, quæ erant in domo Domini, et bases, et mare æneum, quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldæi, et tulerunt omne æs eorum in Babylonem.
18 The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Et lebetes, et creagras, et psalteria, et phialas, et mortariola, et omnia vasa ærea, quæ in ministerio fuerant, tulerunt:
19 And the cups, and the firepans, and the basons, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
et hydrias, et thymiamateria, et urceos, et pelves, et candelabra, et mortaria, et cyathos: quotquot aurea, aurea: et quotquot argentea, argentea tulit magister militiæ:
20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
et columnas duas, et mare unum, et vitulos duodecim æreos, qui erant sub basibus, quas fecerat rex Salomon in domo Domini: non erat pondus æris omnium horum vasorum.
21 And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
De columnis autem, decem et octo cubiti altitudinis erant in columna una, et funiculus duodecim cubitorum circuibat eam: porro grossitudo eius quattuor digitorum, et intrinsecus cava erat.
22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.
Et capitella super utramque ærea: altitudo capitelli unius quinque cubitorum: et retiacula, et malogranata super coronam in circuitu, omnia ærea. Similiter columnæ secundæ, et malogranata.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were an hundred upon the network round about.
Et fuerunt malogranata nonaginta sex dependentia: et omnia malogranata centum, retiaculis circumdabantur.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Et tulit magister militiæ Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum: et tres custodes vestibuli.
25 and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, which were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
Et de civitate tulit eunuchum unum, qui erat præpositus super viros bellatores: et septem viros de his, qui videbant faciem regis, qui inventi sunt in civitate: et scribam principem militum, qui probabat tirones: et sexaginta viros de populo terræ, qui inventi sunt in medio civitatis.
26 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Tulit autem eos Nabuzardan magister militiæ, et duxit eos ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Et percussit eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Iste est populus, quem transtulit Nabuchodonosor: in anno septimo, Iudæos tria millia et viginti tres:
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
In anno octavo decimo Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas:
30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
In anno vigesimo tertio Nabuchodonosor, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiæ animas Iudæorum septingentas quadraginta quinque. Omnes ergo animæ, quattuor millia sexcentæ.
31 And it came to pass 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 Evil-merodach 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;
Et factum est in trigesimo septimo anno transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iuda, duodecimo mense, vigesima quinta mensis, elevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis ipso anno regni sui, caput Ioachin regis Iuda, et eduxit eum de domo carceris.
32 and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
Et locutus est cum eo bona, et posuit thronum eius super thronos regum, qui erant post se in Babylone.
33 and he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
Et mutavit vestimenta carceris eius, et comedebat panem coram eo semper cunctis diebus vitæ suæ:
34 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
et cibaria eius, cibaria perpetua dabantur ei a rege Babylonis statuta per singulos dies, usque ad diem mortis suæ cunctis diebus vitæ eius.
