Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from 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 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did everything that Jehoiakim had done.
Et fecit malum in oculis Domini, iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ioakim.
3 Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them from before himself. Then 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 It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came with all his army against Jerusalem. They camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
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 until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
Et fuit civitas obsessa usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciæ.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
Mense autem quarto, nona mensis obtinuit fames civitatem: et non erant alimenta populo terræ.
7 Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled and went out of the city at night by the way of the gate that was between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. So they went in the direction 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 Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away 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 They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.
Cumque comprehendissent regem, adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quæ est in terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
10 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes, and at Riblah he also slaughtered all the leaders of Judah.
Et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciæ in oculis eius: sed et omnes principes Iuda occidit in Reblatha.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon. The king of Babylon put him in prison until 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, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan came to Jerusalem. He was the commander of the king's bodyguards and a servant of the king of Babylon.
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 He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
Et incendit domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnes domos Ierusalem, et omnem domum magnam igni combussit.
14 As for the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were with the commander of the bodyguards destroyed them.
Et totum murum Ierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldæorum, qui erat cum magistro militiæ.
15 As for the poorest people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen— Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took some of them away into exile.
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 commander of the bodyguards, left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
De pauperibus vero terræ reliquit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ vinitores, et agricolas.
17 As for the bronze pillars that belonged to the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the large bronze basin called “The Sea” that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried all the bronze back 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, shovels, lamp trimmers, bowls, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
Et lebetes, et creagras, et psalteria, et phialas, et mortariola, et omnia vasa ærea, quæ in ministerio fuerant, tulerunt: et
19 The basins and the incense burners, the bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and basins that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the commander of the king's guard took them away as well.
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 large bronze basin known as “The Sea,” and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the stands, things that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, contained more bronze than could be weighed.
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 The pillars were eighteen cubits high each, and a line around each one measured twelve cubits. Each was four fingers thick and 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 A capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was five cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around. It was all made of bronze. The other pillar and its pomegranates were the same as the first.
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 So there were ninety-six pomegranates on the capital's sides, and one hundred pomegranates above the surrounding latticework.
Et fuerunt malogranata nonagintasex dependentia: et omnia malogranata centum, retiaculis circumdabantur.
24 The commander of the bodyguards took prisoner Seraiah, the high priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
Et tulit magister militiæ Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum: et tres custodes vestibuli.
25 From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and seven men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in 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 tyrones: et sexaginta viros de populo terræ, qui inventi sunt in medio civitatis.
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Tulit autem eos Nabuzardan magister militiæ, et duxit eos ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
27 The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
Et percussit eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.
28 These were the people who Nebuchadnezzar exiled: In the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans.
Iste est populus, quem transtulit Nabuchodonosor: In anno septimo Iudæos tria millia et viginti tres:
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he took 832 people from Jerusalem.
In anno octavodecimo Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas:
30 In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, exiled 745 Judean people. All the exiled people totaled 4,600.
In anno vigesimotertio Nabuchodonosor, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiæ animas Iudæorum septingentas quadraginta quinque. omnes ergo animæ, quattuor millia sexcentæ.
31 It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Awel-Marduk, king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
Et factum est in trigesimoseptimo anno transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iuda, duodecimo mense, vigesimaquinta mensis, elevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis ipso anno regni sui, caput Ioachin regis Iuda, et eduxit eum de domo carceris.
32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who 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 Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life,
Et mutavit vestimenta carceris eius, et comedebat panem coram eo semper cunctis diebus vitæ suæ:
34 and a regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life until his death.
et cibaria eius, cibaria perpetua dabantur ei a rege Babylonis statuta per singulos dies, usque ad diem mortis suæ cunctis diebus vitæ eius.
