2 Raja-raja 25
1 Kemudian Zedekia memberontak terhadap Nebukadnezar raja Babel. Karena itu Nebukadnezar dengan seluruh angkatan perangnya datang dan menyerang Yerusalem pada tanggal sepuluh bulan sepuluh dalam tahun kesembilan pemerintahan Zedekia. Mereka mendirikan markas di luar kota, membangun tembok pengepungan,
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 dan terus mengepung kota itu sampai tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Zedekia.
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Pada tanggal sembilan bulan empat tahun itu juga ketika bencana kelaparan sudah begitu hebat sehingga rakyat sudah tidak lagi mempunyai makanan sama sekali,
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 tembok kota didobrak musuh. Malam itu, meskipun orang Babel sedang mengepung kota itu, semua tentara Yehuda melarikan diri menuju Lembah Yordan. Mereka mengambil jalan lewat taman istana, lalu keluar melalui pintu gerbang yang menghubungkan kedua tembok di tempat itu.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about: ) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5 Tetapi tentara Babel mengejar Raja Zedekia, dan menangkapnya di dataran Yerikho. Semua anak buahnya lari meninggalkan dia.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 Kemudian Raja Zedekia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla, lalu dijatuhi hukuman.
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 Anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya. Setelah itu Zedekia dicungkil matanya, lalu dibelenggu dan dibawa ke Babel.
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Pada tanggal tujuh bulan lima dalam tahun kesembilan belas pemerintah Nebukadnezar raja Babel, datanglah ke Yerusalem seorang yang bernama Nebuzaradan. Ia adalah penasihat dan panglima tentara Nebukadnezar.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 Nebuzaradan membakar Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, dan rumah semua orang terkemuka di Yerusalem.
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 Lalu semua anak buahnya meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota itu.
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Kemudian rakyat yang masih ada di kota, yaitu para pekerja ahli yang tersisa, orang-orang miskin dan orang-orang yang telah lari ke pihak orang Babel, semuanya diangkut ke Babel oleh Nebuzaradan.
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 Tetapi sebagian dari rakyat yang paling miskin dan tak punya harta ditinggalkannya di Yehuda dan disuruhnya mengerjakan kebun anggur dan ladang-ladang.
But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Tiang-tiang perunggu dan kereta-kereta di Rumah TUHAN bersama-sama dengan bejana perunggunya dipecahkan oleh orang Babel, lalu semua perunggunya diangkut ke negeri mereka.
And 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, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Mereka juga mengangkut barang-barang ini: sekop-sekop, tempat abu mezbah, perkakas-perkakas pelita, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk menampung darah binatang yang disembelih untuk kurban, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk membakar dupa, dan semua barang perunggu lainnya yang dipakai untuk upacara ibadat.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Barang-barang emas dan perak, termasuk mangkuk-mangkuk kecil dan piring-piring untuk bara diambil oleh Nebuzaradan sendiri.
And the fire-pans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 Barang-barang perunggu yang dibuat oleh Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN, yaitu kedua tiang, kereta-kereta dan bejana besar, semuanya begitu berat sehingga tidak tertimbang.
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Kedua tiang perunggu itu sama; masing-masing tingginya 8 meter dengan sebuah kepala tiang dari perunggu setinggi 1,3 meter. Di sekeliling setiap kepala tiang itu ada anyaman dengan hiasan buah delima dari perunggu.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass: and the height of the capital three cubits; and the interwoven work, and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with interwoven work.
18 Selain itu, Nebuzaradan menangkap Imam Agung Seraya, Sefanya imam pembantu, tiga orang penjaga pintu Rumah TUHAN, kelima penasihat pribadi raja yang masih berada di kota, panglima, wakil panglima yang mengurus administrasi tentara, dan 60 orang pembesar lainnya.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 Semua orang itu dibawanya kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla,
And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 di wilayah Hamat. Di sana mereka disiksa lalu dibunuh. Demikianlah orang-orang Yehuda diangkut dari negeri mereka dan dibawa ke pembuangan.
And the king of Babylon stroke them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22 Setelah itu Raja Nebukadnezar mengangkat Gedalya anak Ahikam dan cucu Safan, menjadi gubernur di Yehuda untuk memerintah atas semua orang yang masih tinggal di sana.
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23 Ketika para perwira dan prajurit Yehuda yang tidak menyerah kepada Babel mendengar tentang pengangkatan itu, mereka semua datang kepada Gedalya di Mizpa. Perwira-perwira itu ialah Ismael anak Netanya, Yohanan anak Kareah, Seraya anak Tanhumet dari kota Netofa, dan Yazanya dari kota Maakha.
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 Berkatalah Gedalya kepada mereka semuanya, "Kamu tidak perlu takut kepada pejabat-pejabat pemerintah Babel. Tinggallah saja di negeri kita ini dan jadilah hamba raja Babel. Saya tanggung kamu akan selamat."
And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25 Tetapi pada bulan tujuh tahun itu Ismael anak Netanya dan cucu Elisama yang masih keturunan raja, pergi bersama 10 orang ke Mizpa. Mereka menyerang dan membunuh Gedalya beserta orang Yehuda dan orang Babel yang berada bersama Gedalya di situ.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and stroke Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Maka seluruh rakyat Yehuda, kaya maupun miskin, bersama-sama dengan para perwira lari ke Mesir karena takut kepada orang Babel.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27 Pada tanggal dua puluh tujuh bulan dua belas dalam tahun ketiga puluh tujuh sesudah Yoyakhin diangkut ke pembuangan, Ewil-Merodakh menjadi raja Babel. Pada tahun itu juga ia menunjukkan belas kasihannya kepada Yoyakhin, dan melepaskan dia dari penjara,
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 serta memperlakukannya dengan baik. Yoyakhin diberinya kedudukan yang lebih tinggi daripada raja-raja lain yang juga dibuang ke Babel.
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 Yoyakhin tidak lagi memakai pakaian penjara dan biasanya makan di istana serta diberi uang untuk keperluan hidupnya.
And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
