Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became the King [of Judah]. He ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of [a man named] Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
Седекия был двадцати одного года, когда начал царствовать, и царствовал в Иерусалиме одиннадцать лет; имя матери его - Хамуталь, дочь Иеремии из Ливны.
2 Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
И он делал злое в очах Господа, все то, что делал Иоаким;
3 [The events that are summarized here happened] because Yahweh was angry with [the people of] Jerusalem and [of other places in] Judah, and finally he (exiled them/forced them to go to other countries) [and said that he did not want to have anything to do with] them any more. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
посему гнев Господа был над Иерусалимом и Иудою до того, что Он отверг их от лица Своего; и Седекия отложился от царя Вавилонского.
4 [So, ] on January 15, when Zedekiah had been ruling for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon led his entire army to attack Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and built dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [to enable them to attack the city].
И было, в девятый год его царствования, в десятый месяц, в десятый день месяца, пришел Навуходоносор, царь Вавилонский, сам и все войско его, к Иерусалиму, и обложили его, и устроили вокруг него насыпи.
5 They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
И находился город в осаде до одиннадцатого года царя Седекии.
6 When Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, by July 18 of that year, the (famine/lack of food) in the city had become very severe, and there was no [more] food for the people [to eat].
В четвертом месяце, в девятый день месяца, голод в городе усилился, и не было хлеба у народа земли.
7 Then [the soldiers of Babylonia] broke through [a section of] the city wall, and all the [Israeli] soldiers fled. But because the city was surrounded by soldiers from Babylonia, [Zedekiah and the Israeli] soldiers [waited until] it became dark. Then they left the city through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they ran towards the Jordan River Valley.
Сделан был пролом в город, и побежали все военные, и вышли из города ночью воротами, находящимися между двумя стенами, подле царского сада, и пошли дорогою степи; Халдеи же были вокруг города.
8 But the soldiers of Babylonia pursued King Zedekiah, and they caught up with him on the plains near Jericho. [He was alone because] all his men had deserted him and had scattered.
Войско Халдейское погналось за царем, и настигли Седекию на равнинах Иерихонских, и все войско его разбежалось от него.
9 The soldiers of Babylonia took him to the king of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
И взяли царя, и привели его к царю Вавилонскому, в Ривлу, в землю Емаф, где он произнес над ним суд.
10 They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
И заколол царь Вавилонский сыновей Седекии пред глазами его, и всех князей Иудейских заколол в Ривле.
11 [Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon. They put him in a prison, and he remained there until the day that he died.
А Седекии выколол глаза и велел оковать его медными оковами; и отвел его царь Вавилонский в Вавилон и посадил его в дом стражи до дня смерти его.
12 On August 17 of that year, which was when King Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost 19 years, Nebuzaradan, who was the captain of the king’s bodyguards and one of the king’s officials, arrived in Jerusalem.
В пятый месяц, в десятый день месяца, - это был девятнадцатый год царя Навуходоносора, царя Вавилонского, - пришел Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, предстоявший пред царем Вавилонским, в Иерусалим
13 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. They [also] destroyed all the important buildings [in the city].
и сожег дом Господень, и дом царя, и все домы в Иерусалиме, и все домы большие сожег огнем.
14 Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
И все войско Халдейское, бывшее с начальником телохранителей, разрушило все стены вокруг Иерусалима.
15 Then Nebuzaradan (forced to go/exiled) [to Babylon] some of the poorest people, those Israelis who had said they would support the king of Babylon, the rest of the craftsmen, and other people who had remained in Jerusalem.
Бедных из народа и прочий народ, остававшийся в городе, и переметчиков, которые передались царю Вавилонскому, и вообще остаток простого народа Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, выселил.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
Только несколько из бедного народа земли Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, оставил для виноградников и земледелия.
17 The soldiers from Babylonia broke [into pieces] the [huge] bronze pillars that were in front of the temple, and the [large] bronze water tank, and the [ten bronze water] carts, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
И столбы медные, которые были в доме Господнем, и подставы, и медное море, которое в доме Господнем, изломали Халдеи и отнесли всю медь их в Вавилон.
18 They also took away the basins [for holding the ashes from the burned sacrifices], the shovels [for cleaning out the ashes], the tools for snuffing out the wicks of the lamps, the basins [for holding the blood of the sacrificed animals], the dishes [for incense], and all the [other] bronze items that were used when sacrifices were made at the temple.
И тазы, и лопатки, и ножи, и чаши, и ложки, и все медные сосуды, которые употребляемы были при Богослужении, взяли;
19 Nebuzaradan also [told his soldiers to] take away the small bowls, the dishes for burning incense, the basins, pots, lampstands, bowls [for incense], and the bowls used for pouring out the wine offerings. They took all the other items that were made of pure gold or silver.
и блюда, и щипцы, и чаши, и котлы, и лампады, и фимиамники, и кружки, что было золотое - золотое, и что было серебряное - серебряное, взял начальник телохранителей;
20 The bronze from the two pillars, the [large water] tank and the twelve statues of oxen that were beneath it, and the water carts, was more/heavier than they could weigh. Those things had been made for the temple during the time that Solomon was the king.
также два столба, одно море и двенадцать медных волов, которые служили подставами, которые царь Соломон сделал в доме Господнем, - меди во всех этих вещах невозможно было взвесить.
21 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall and (18 feet/5.5 meters) around. They were hollow, and each had sides/walls that were (3 in./8 cm.) thick.
Столбы сии были каждый столб в восемнадцать локтей вышины, и шнурок в двенадцать локтей обнимал его, а толщина стенок его внутри пустого, в четыре перста.
22 The bronze head on the top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/over 2 meters) high and was decorated all around with a bronze [network of figures that represented] pomegranates.
И венец на нем медный, а высота венца пять локтей; и сетка и гранатовые яблоки вокруг были все медные; то же и на другом столбе с гранатовыми яблоками.
23 There was a total of 100 figures of pomegranates on the network at the top, 96 of which could be seen from the ground.
Гранатовых яблок было по всем сторонам девяносто шесть; всех яблоков вокруг сетки сто.
24 When Nebuzaradan [returned to Babylon], he took [with him as prisoners] Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah who was Seraiah’s deputy, and the three men who guarded the entrances [to the temple].
Начальник телохранителей взял также Сераию первосвященника и Цефанию, второго священника, и трех сторожей порога.
25 He found [some other] people who were [hiding] in the city. [So] from them he took a commander of the army [of Judah], seven of the king’s advisors, the army commander’s chief secretary who was in charge of recruiting [soldiers for the army], and 60 [other] soldiers.
И из города взял одного евнуха, который был начальником над военными людьми, и семь человек предстоявших лицу царя, которые находились в городе, и главного писца в войске, записывавшего в войско народ земли, и шестьдесят человек из народа страны, найденных в городе.
26 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
И взял их Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, и отвел их к царю Вавилонскому в Ривлу.
27 There at Riblah in the Hamath region, the king of Babylon commanded that they [all] be executed. [Many of the people of] Judah were (forced to leave/exiled from) their own land.
И поразил их царь Вавилонский и умертвил их в Ривле, в земле Емаф; и выселен был Иуда из земли своей.
28 The number of people who were captured and sent to Babylon at that time, when Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost seven years, was 3,023.
Вот народ, который выселил Навуходоносор: в седьмой год три тысячи двадцать три Иудея;
29 Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
в восемнадцатый год Навуходоносора из Иерусалима выселено восемьсот тридцать две души;
30 When he had been ruling almost 23 years, he sent Nebuzaradan [to Jerusalem again], and he brought back 745 [more Israelis to Babylonia]. That was a total of 4,600 Israelis [who were taken to Babylonia].
в двадцать третий год Навуходоносора Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, выселил Иудеев семьсот сорок пять душ: всего четыре тысячи шестьсот душ.
31 After King Jehoiachin of Judah had been in prison [in Babylon] for almost thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin and ordered that he be released from prison. That was on March 31 of the year that Evil-Merodach became king.
В тридцать седьмой год после переселения Иоакима, царя Иудейского, в двенадцатый месяц, в двадцать пятый день месяца, Евильмеродах, царь Вавилонский, в первый год царствования своего, возвысил Иоакима, царя Иудейского, и вывел его из темничного дома.
32 He [always] spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and gave him a position in which he was honored more than [all] the other kings [who had been exiled/taken to Babylon].
И беседовал с ним дружелюбно, и поставил престол его выше престола царей, которые были у него в Вавилоне;
33 He [supplied new clothes] for Jehoiachin, to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison. [He also allowed] Jehoiachin to eat with him every day, all during the rest of his life.
и переменил темничные одежды его, и он всегда у него обедал во все дни жизни своей.
34 Every day, the King [of Babylon] gave him some money [to buy the things that he needed. That continued] until the day that Jehoiachin died.
И содержание его, содержание постоянное, выдаваемо было ему от царя изо дня в день до дня смерти его, во все дни жизни его.
