Jeremiah 52
1 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
西底家登基的時候年二十一歲，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母親名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女兒。
2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim hath done,
西底家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，是照約雅敬一切所行的。
3 for, because of the anger of Jehovah, it hath been in Jerusalem and Judah till He hath cast them from before His face, and Zedekiah doth rebel against the king of Babylon.
因此耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作，以致將人民從自己的面前趕出。
4 And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon — he and all his force — against Jerusalem, and they encamp against it, and build against it a fortification round about;
西底家背叛巴比倫王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來攻擊耶路撒冷，對城安營，四圍築壘攻城。
5 and the city cometh into siege till the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
於是城被圍困直到西底家王十一年。
6 In the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, and there hath been no bread for the people of the land,
四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。
7 then is the city broken up, and all the men of war flee, and go forth from the city by night, the way of the gate between the two walls, that [is] by the king's garden — and the Chaldeans [are] by the city round about — and they go the way of the plain.
城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門，出城逃跑；迦勒底人正在四圍攻城。他們就往亞拉巴逃去。
8 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his forces have been scattered from him,
迦勒底的軍隊追趕西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全軍都離開他四散了。
9 and they capture the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.
迦勒底人就拿住王，帶他到在哈馬地利比拉的巴比倫王那裏；巴比倫王便審判他。
10 And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also all the princes of Judah hath he slaughtered in Riblah;
巴比倫王在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，又在利比拉殺了猶大的一切首領，
11 and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him in brazen fetters, and the king of Babylon bringeth him to Babylon, and putteth him in the house of inspection unto the day of his death.
並且剜了西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，帶到巴比倫去，將他囚在監裏，直到他死的日子。
12 And in the fifth month, in the tenth of the month — it [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon — come hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners; he hath stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem,
巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日，在巴比倫王面前侍立的護衛長尼布撒拉旦進入耶路撒冷，
13 and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house he hath burned with fire,
用火焚燒耶和華的殿和王宮，又焚燒耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大戶家的房屋。
14 and all the walls of Jerusalem round about broken down have all the forces of the Chaldeans that [are] with the chief of the executioners.
跟從護衛長迦勒底的全軍就拆毀耶路撒冷四圍的城牆。
15 And of the poor of the people, and the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those who are falling away, who have fallen unto the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the executioners, removed;
那時護衛長尼布撒拉旦將民中最窮的和城裏所剩下的百姓，並已經投降巴比倫王的人，以及大眾所剩下的人，都擄去了。
16 and of the poor of the land hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
但護衛長尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最窮的，使他們修理葡萄園，耕種田地。
17 And the pillars of brass that [are] to the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [is] in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken, and they bear away all the brass of them to Babylon;
耶和華殿的銅柱並殿內的盆座和銅海，迦勒底人都打碎了，將那銅運到巴比倫去了，
18 and the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they minister, they have taken away;
又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、盤子、調羹，並所用的一切銅器、
19 and the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups, the gold of that which [is] gold, and the silver of that which [is] silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken.
杯、火鼎、碗、盆、燈臺、調羹、爵，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。
20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that [are] beneath the bases, that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these vessels.
所羅門為耶和華殿所造的兩根銅柱、一個銅海，並座下的十二隻銅牛，這一切的銅多得無法可稱。
21 As to the pillars, eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits doth compass it, and its thickness [is] four fingers hollow.
這一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，是空的，圍十二肘。
22 And the chapiter upon it [is] of brass, and the height of the one chapiter [is] five cubits, and net-work and pomegranates [are] on the chapiter round about, the whole [is] of brass; and like these have the second pillar, and pomegranates.
柱上有銅頂，高五肘；銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴，都是銅的。那一根柱子照此一樣，也有石榴。
23 And the pomegranates are ninety and six on a side, all the pomegranates [are] a hundred on the net-work round about.
柱子四面有九十六個石榴，在網子周圍，共有一百石榴。
24 And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
護衛長拿住大祭司西萊雅、副祭司西番亞，和三個把門的，
25 and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch, who hath been inspector over the men of war, and seven men of those seeing the king's face, who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land, who are found in the midst of the city;
又從城中拿住一個管理兵丁的官，並在城裏所遇常見王面的七個人和檢點國民軍長的書記，以及城裏所遇見的國民六十個人。
26 and Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, taketh them, and bringeth them unto the king of Babylon to Riblah,
護衛長尼布撒拉旦將這些人帶到利比拉的巴比倫王那裏。
27 and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its own ground.
巴比倫王就把他們擊殺在哈馬地的利比拉。這樣，猶大人被擄去離開本地。
28 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar hath removed: in the seventh year, of Jews, three thousand and twenty and three;
尼布甲尼撒所擄的民數記在下面：在他第七年擄去猶大人三千零二十三名；
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar — from Jerusalem, souls, eight hundred thirty and two;
尼布甲尼撒十八年從耶路撒冷擄去八百三十二人；
30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the guard removed of Jewish souls, seven hundred forty and five; all the souls [are] four thousand and six hundred.
尼布甲尼撒二十三年，護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄去猶大人七百四十五名；共有四千六百人。
31 And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and fifth of the month, hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reign, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and bringeth him out from the house of restraint,
猶大王約雅斤被擄後三十七年，巴比倫王以未‧米羅達元年十二月二十五日，使猶大王約雅斤抬頭，提他出監，
32 and speaketh with him good things, and setteth his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
又對他說恩言，使他的位高過與他一同在巴比倫眾王的位，
33 and he hath changed his prison garments, and he hath eaten bread before him continually, all the days of his life.
給他脫了囚服。他終身在巴比倫王面前吃飯。
34 And his allowance — a continual allowance — hath been given to him by the king of Babylon, the matter of a day in its day, till the day of his death — all days of his life.
巴比倫王賜他所需用的食物，日日賜他一分，終身是這樣，直到他死的日子。
