Yeremia 52
1 Zedekia berumur dua puluh satu tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah di Yerusalem sebelas tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Hamutal, anak Yeremia dari kota Libna.
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
2 Seperti Raja Yoyakim, Raja Zedekia juga berdosa kepada TUHAN.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
3 TUHAN marah sekali kepada penduduk Yerusalem dan orang Yehuda sehingga Ia mengusir mereka dan tidak melindungi mereka lagi. Zedekia memberontak terhadap Nebukadnezar raja Babel,
For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
4 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, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts against it round about.
5 dan terus mengepung kota itu sampai tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Zedekia.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
6 Pada tanggal sembilan bulan empat tahun itu juga, ketika bencana kelaparan sudah begitu hebat sehingga rakyat tidak lagi mempunyai makanan sama sekali,
And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food for the people of the land.
7 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 the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king’s garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.
8 Tetapi tentara Babel mengejar Raja Zedekia, dan menangkapnya di dataran Yerikho. Semua anak buahnya lari meninggalkan dia.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.
9 Kemudian Raja Zedekia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla di daerah Hamat, lalu dijatuhi hukuman mati.
And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
10 Di kota itu juga anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya, dan semua pejabat pemerintah Yehuda pun dibunuh.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.
11 Setelah itu Zedekia dicungkil matanya, lalu dibelenggu dan dibawa ke Babel. Di sana ia dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, dan tidak pernah keluar dari situ sampai saat ia meninggal.
And he put out the eyes of Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he put him in prison till the day of his death.
12 Pada tanggal sepuluh bulan lima dalam tahun kesembilan belas pemerintahan Nebukadnezar raja Babel, datanglah ke Yerusalem seorang yang bernama Nebuzaradan. Ia adalah penasihat dan kepala pengawal pribadi Nebukadnezar.
And in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem.
13 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 house he burnt with fire.
14 Lalu semua anak buahnya meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota itu.
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
15 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.
But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Tapi sebagian dari rakyat yang paling miskin dan tak punya harta, ditinggalkannya di Yehuda, dan disuruhnya mengerjakan kebun anggur dan ladang-ladang.
But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
17 Tiang-tiang perunggu dan kereta-kereta di Rumah TUHAN bersama bejana perunggu dipecahkan oleh orang Babel, lalu semua perunggunya diangkut ke negeri mereka.
The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18 Mereka juga mengangkut barang-barang ini: penyodok-penyodok, 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 they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and
19 Barang-barang emas dan perak, termasuk mangkuk-mangkuk kecil dan tempat bara, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk tempat darah binatang yang disembelih untuk kurban, tempat abu, kaki pelita, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk dupa, dan mangkuk-mangkuk untuk menuangkan persembahan air anggur, semuanya diambil oleh Nebuzaradan sendiri.
The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:
20 Barang-barang perunggu yang dibuat oleh Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN, yaitu kedua tiang, kereta-kereta, bejana dan kedua belas sapi yang menopang bejana itu, semuanya begitu berat, sehingga tidak tertimbang.
And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.
21 Kedua tiang perunggu itu sama: masing-masing tingginya 8 meter, lingkarnya 5,3 meter, dan tengah-tengahnya kosong. Tebal perunggunya 75 milimeter. Di atas setiap tiang itu ada kepala tiang setinggi 2,2 meter. Sekeliling kepala-kepala tiang itu ada anyaman dengan hiasan buah delima, semuanya dari perunggu juga.
And concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.
And chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
23 Buah delima pada anyaman di setiap kepala tiang itu ada seratus, tapi hanya sembilan puluh enam yang kelihatan dari bawah.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
24 Selain itu, Nebuzaradan menangkap Imam Agung Seraya, Zefanya wakilnya, tiga orang penjaga pintu Rumah TUHAN,
And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
25 ketujuh penasihat pribadi raja yang masih berada di kota, panglima, wakil panglima yang mengurus administrasi tentara, dan enam puluh orang pembesar lainnya.
He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26 Semua orang itu dibawanya kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla,
And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
27 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 struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda was carried away captive out of his land.
28 semuanya ada 4.600 orang. Nebukadnezar mengangkut mereka dalam tahap-tahap sebagai berikut: 3.023 orang pada tahun ketujuh pemerintahannya, 832 orang dari Yerusalem pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahannya, dan 745 orang diangkut oleh Nebuzaradan pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintahan Nebukadnezar.
This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
In the three and twentieth year of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 Pada tanggal dua puluh lima 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 Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, and brought him forth out of prison.
32 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 he set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 Ia diizinkan mengganti pakaian penjaranya dan untuk seterusnya selama hidupnya ia boleh makan di istana, dan setiap hari diberi uang untuk keperluan hidupnya.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
And for his diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
