Jeremiah 52
1 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
漆德克雅登極時，年二十一歲，在耶路撒泠為王十一年，他的母親名叫哈慕塔耳，是里貝納人耶勒米雅的女兒。
2 And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
他行了上主視為惡的事，全像約雅金所行的一樣，
3 For it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
因此上主對耶路撒泠和猶大大發忿怒，由自己面前將他們拋棄。以後漆德克雅背叛了巴比倫王。
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and he built against it a siege-wall round about.
漆德克雅為王九年十月十日，巴比倫王拿步高率領全軍來進攻耶路撒泠，紮營圍城，在城四周建築了壁壘，
5 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
圍攻京城，直至漆德克雅為王十一年。
6 In the fourth month on the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land,
是年四月九日，城中發生了嚴重的饑荒，當地人民已沒有糧食，
7 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about), —and they went the way towards the Waste Plain.
京城遂被攻破，加色丁人還在圍攻京城時，君王和全體士兵，黑夜出了靠近御苑的雙牆城門，逃往阿辣巴。
8 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered from him.
加色丁軍隊便追趕君王，在耶里哥曠野追上了漆德克雅。此時他的軍隊已離開他逃散了。
9 So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
加色丁軍隊擒獲了君王，帶他上哈瑪特地的黎貝拉去見巴比倫王，巴比倫王即宣判了他的罪案。
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he in Riblah;
巴比倫王在黎貝拉當著漆德克雅眼前殺了他的兒子，和猶大的眾首領，
11 and the eyes of Zedekiah, put he out, —and bound him with fetters of bronze and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison—until the day of his death.
然後剜了漆德克雅的眼，給他帶上鎖鏈，送往巴比倫去，直到他死，囚在監內。
12 And in the fifth month on the tenth of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, —who stood before the king of Babylon into, Jerusalem;
巴比倫王拿步高為王十九年五月十日，侍立於巴比倫王左右的衛隊長乃步匝辣當來到了耶路撒泠，
13 and he burned the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —yea all the houses of Jerusalem even every great man’s house, burned he with fire;
焚毀了上的殿、王宮和耶路撒泠所有的民房；凡是高大的建築都用火燒了。
14 and all the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
跟隨衛隊長的所有加色丁軍隊，拆毀了耶路撒泠周圍的城牆；
15 And some of the poor of the people and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who had fallen away unto the king of Babylon and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners carry away captive.
城中剩下的人民和已投降巴比倫王的人以及剩下的工匠，隊長乃步匝辣當都擄了去，
16 But, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
只留下了當地一部分最窮的平民，作園丁和農民。
17 And the pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh and the stands and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces, —and they carried away all the bronze of them to Babylon;
加色丁人又將上主殿內的銅柱，和上主殿內的銅座、銅海都打碎，把銅都運往巴比倫；
18 and the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made did they take away;
此外鍋、鏟、蠟剪、盆碟、香盤，以及行禮用的一切銅器，全都帶走；
19 and the basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold in gold, and which were of silver in silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take away.
爵杯、提爐、盆碟、鍋子、蠟台、勺子和盆盂，凡是純金純銀的，衛隊長也都拿走了。
20 As for the two pillars the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight was the bronze of all these things.
撒羅滿王為上主殿做的兩根柱子，一個銅海和下面的十二個銅牛，及十個盆座：這些器皿的銅，重量無法估計。
21 Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, —and the thickness thereof was four fingers’ breadth—hollow;
至於兩根柱子，每根高十八肘；周圍是十二肘，有四指厚，中空。
22 and there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and the height of each capital, was five cubits, with lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about—the whole was of bronze, —and like these, were the second pillar and the pomegranates.
每根柱子上面有銅柱頭，高五肘，柱頭四周有網子和石榴，全是銅的；另一柱子同樣也有像這樣的裝飾和石榴。
23 And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work round about.
石榴有九十六個，往下懸著；網子四周共有一百個石榴。
24 And the chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
衛隊長又擒獲了大司祭色辣雅，大司祭責法尼雅和三個門丁，
25 and out of the city, took he one eunuch who was in charge over the men of war and seven men of them who used to watch the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the prince of the host, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
由城中還擒獲了一個管理軍隊的宦官，七個在城裏搜到的君王的親信，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。
26 And when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto the king of Babylon at Riblah,
衛隊長乃步匝辣當捉住他們帶到黎貝拉去見巴比倫王；
27 then did the king of Babylon smite them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath, —thus carried he Judah captive away from off their own soil.
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。
28 This, is the people, whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive, —In the seventh year—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
以下是拿步高擄去的人數：在第七年擄去的猶大人，為數是三千零二十三人。
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
拿步高第十八年，由耶路撒冷擄去的是八百三十二人；
30 In the three-and-twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners took away captive, of them of Judah, seven hundred and forty-five souls: All, the souls, were four thousand and six hundred.
拿步高第二十三年，衛隊長乃步匝辣當擄去了七百四十五名猶大人：擄去的人數共計是四千六百名。
31 And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year he began to reign, lifted up, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;
猶大王耶苛尼雅被擄後第三十七年，十二月二十五日，巴比倫王厄威耳默洛達客登極元年，大赦猶大王耶苛尼雅，放他出獄，
32 and spake with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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，
33 so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face continually, all the days of his life.
脫去他的囚衣，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
34 And his allowance, was a continual allowance given him from the king of Babylon the portion of the day upon its own day, until the day of his death, —all the days of his life.
他的生活費用，在他有生之日，直到他死，每天不斷由巴比倫王供應。
