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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
2 Seperti Raja Yoyakim, Raja Zedekia juga berdosa kepada TUHAN.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim 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,
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against 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
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
5 dan terus mengepung kota itu sampai tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Zedekia.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 Pada tanggal sembilan bulan empat tahun itu juga, ketika bencana kelaparan sudah begitu hebat sehingga rakyat tidak lagi mempunyai makanan sama sekali,
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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.
Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of the Arabah,
8 Tetapi tentara Babel mengejar Raja Zedekia, dan menangkapnya di dataran Yerikho. Semua anak buahnya lari meninggalkan dia.
but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
9 Kemudian Raja Zedekia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla di daerah Hamat, lalu dijatuhi hukuman mati.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
10 Di kota itu juga anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya, dan semua pejabat pemerintah Yehuda pun dibunuh.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
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.
Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
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.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 Nebuzaradan membakar Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, dan rumah semua orang terkemuka di Yerusalem.
He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Lalu semua anak buahnya meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota itu.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls around Jerusalem.
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.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
16 Tapi sebagian dari rakyat yang paling miskin dan tak punya harta, ditinggalkannya di Yehuda, dan disuruhnya mengerjakan kebun anggur dan ladang-ladang.
But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
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 Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all the bronze 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.
They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
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 commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or 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.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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.
Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
The bronze capital on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
23 Buah delima pada anyaman di setiap kepala tiang itu ada seratus, tapi hanya sembilan puluh enam yang kelihatan dari bawah.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Selain itu, Nebuzaradan menangkap Imam Agung Seraya, Zefanya wakilnya, tiga orang penjaga pintu Rumah TUHAN,
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
25 ketujuh penasihat pribadi raja yang masih berada di kota, panglima, wakil panglima yang mengurus administrasi tentara, dan enam puluh orang pembesar lainnya.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
26 Semua orang itu dibawanya kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla,
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 di wilayah Hamat. Di sana mereka disiksa, lalu dibunuh. Demikianlah orang-orang Yehuda diangkut dari negeri mereka dan dibawa ke pembuangan;
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their 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 a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
In his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
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,
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
32 serta memperlakukannya dengan baik. Yoyakhin diberinya kedudukan yang lebih tinggi daripada raja-raja lain yang juga dibuang ke Babel.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there 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.
So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest of his life.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
