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.

١ كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.

2 And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

٢ وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.

3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

٣ لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

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 built forts against it on every side.

٤ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَاءَ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَبَنَوْا عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا حَوَالَيْهَا.

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

٥ فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا.

6 And 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 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth from 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] by the city on all sides: ) and they went by the way of the plain.

٧ فَثُغِرَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَهَرَبَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلًا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عِنْدَ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَذَهَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

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

٨ فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَ كُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَنْهُ.

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

٩ فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.

10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

١٠ فَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا فِي رَبْلَةَ،

11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

١١ وَأَعْمَى عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا، وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَجَاءَ بِهِ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَجَعَلَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ.

12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, which [was] the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, [who] served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

١٢ وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلتَّاسِعَةُ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَقِفُ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great [men] he burned with fire:

١٣ وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ، أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ.

14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem on every side.

١٤ وَكُلَّ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جَيْشِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ.

15 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive [certain] of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

١٥ وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ، رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، بَعْضًا مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ.

16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left [certain] of the poor of the land for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.

١٦ وَلَكِنَّ نَبُوزَرَادَانَ، رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ، أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ.

17 Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

١٧ وَكَسَّرَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ أَعْمِدَةَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْقَوَاعِدَ وَبَحْرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ نُحَاسِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered, they took away.

١٨ وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا.

19 And the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; [that] which [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of silver [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.

١٩ وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ ٱلطُّسُوسَ وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلْمَنَايِرَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَٱلْأَقْدَاحَ، مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةَ.

20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that [were] under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

٢٠ وَٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ وَٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلْوَاحِدَ، وَٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْرًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ.

21 And [concerning] the pillars, the hight of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness of it [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow.

٢١ أَمَّا ٱلْعَمُودَانِ فَكَانَ طُولُ ٱلْعَمُودِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ثَمَانِيَ عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا، وَخَيْطٌ ٱثْنَتَا عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا يُحِيطُ بِهِ، وَغِلَظُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَصَابِعَ، وَهُوَ أَجْوَفُ.

22 And a capital of brass [was] upon it; and the hight of one capital [was] five cubits, with net-work and pomegranates upon the capitals around, all [of] brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates [were] like to these.

٢٢ وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، ٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلتَّاجِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ. وَعَلَى ٱلتَّاجِ حَوَالَيْهِ شَبَكَةٌ وَرُمَّانَاتُ، ٱلْكُلِّ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ لِلْعَمُودِ ٱلثَّانِي، وَٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ.

23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; [and] all the pomegranates upon the net-work [were] a hundred on all sides.

٢٣ وَكَانَتِ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتُ سِتًّا وَتِسْعِينَ لِلْجَانِبِ. كُلُّ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ مِئَةٌ عَلَى ٱلشَّبَكَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا.

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

٢٤ وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ.

25 He took also out of the city a eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, who were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

٢٥ وَأَخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَصِيًّا وَاحِدًا كَانَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَسَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِلتَّجَنُّدِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

٢٦ أَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِلَى رَبْلَةَ،

27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

٢٧ فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

28 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

٢٨ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي سَبَاهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ: مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ وَثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ.

29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

٢٩ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ سُبِيَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ ثَمَانُ مِئَةٍ وَٱثْنَانِ وَثَلَاثُونَ نَفْسًا.

30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan 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.

٣٠ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ، سَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ نَفْسًا. جُمْلَةُ ٱلنُّفُوسِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

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 out of prison,

٣١ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، رَفَعَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ تَمَلُّكِهِ، رَأْسَ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

32 And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon,

٣٢ وَكَلَّمَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ كَرَاسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ.

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

٣٣ وَغَيَّرَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ، وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ دَائِمًا ٱلْخُبْزَ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

34 And [for] his food there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

٣٤ وَوَظِيفَتُهُ وَظِيفَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ تُعْطَى لَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ، إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.
