< 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 one and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Hamutal, the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
2 Seperti Raja Yoyakim, Raja Zedekia juga berdosa kepada TUHAN.
And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim 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,
Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
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
But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.
5 dan terus mengepung kota itu sampai tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Zedekia.
So the citie was besieged vnto the eleuenth yeere of the 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,
Now in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was sore in ye citie, so that there was no more bread for ye 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.
Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes.
8 Tetapi tentara Babel mengejar Raja Zedekia, dan menangkapnya di dataran Yerikho. Semua anak buahnya lari meninggalkan dia.
But the army of the Caldeans pursued after the king, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Iericho, and all his host was scattered from him.
9 Kemudian Raja Zedekia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla di daerah Hamat, lalu dijatuhi hukuman mati.
Then they tooke the king and caryed him vp vnto the king of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.
10 Di kota itu juga anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya, dan semua pejabat pemerintah Yehuda pun dibunuh.
And the king of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes he slew also al ye princes of Iudah in 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 put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bound him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in pryson 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.
Now in the fift moneth in the tenth day of the moneth (which was the nineteenth yere of ye King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward which stoode before the king of Babel in Ierusalem,
13 Nebuzaradan membakar Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, dan rumah semua orang terkemuka di Yerusalem.
And burnt the House of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
14 Lalu semua anak buahnya meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota itu.
And al the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chiefe steward, brake downe all ye walles of Ierusalem 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.
Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward caried away captiue certaine of the poore of the people, and the residue of the people that remayned in the citie, and those that were fled, and fallen to the king of Babel, with 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 Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left certaine of the poore of the lande, to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
17 Tiang-tiang perunggu dan kereta-kereta di Rumah TUHAN bersama bejana perunggu dipecahkan oleh orang Babel, lalu semua perunggunya diangkut ke negeri mereka.
Also the pillars of brasse that were in the House of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea, that was in the house of ye Lord, the Caldeans brake, and caried all the brasse of them to Babel.
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.
The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musicke, and the basins, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brasse wherewith they ministred, tooke they away.
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.

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.
With the two pillars, one Sea, and twelue brasen bulles, that were vnder the bases, which King Salomon had made in ye house of ye Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
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, the height of one pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse it, and the thicknesse thereof was foure fingers: it was holowe.
And a chapiter of brasse was vpon it, and the height of one chapiter was fiue cubites with networke, and pomegranates vpon the chapiters round about, all of brasse: the seconde pillar also, and the pomegranates were like vnto these.
23 Buah delima pada anyaman di setiap kepala tiang itu ada seratus, tapi hanya sembilan puluh enam yang kelihatan dari bawah.
And there were ninetie and sixe pomegranates on a side: and all the pomegranates vpon the net worke were an hundreth round about.
24 Selain itu, Nebuzaradan menangkap Imam Agung Seraya, Zefanya wakilnya, tiga orang penjaga pintu Rumah TUHAN,

26 Semua orang itu dibawanya kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla,
Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the king of Babel to Riblah.
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 Babel smote them, and slewe them in Riblah, in the lande of Hamath: thus Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne 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.

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 in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the captiuitie of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, and brought him out of pryson,
32 serta memperlakukannya dengan baik. Yoyakhin diberinya kedudukan yang lebih tinggi daripada raja-raja lain yang juga dibuang ke Babel.
And spake kindly vnto him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings, that were with him in Babel,
33 Ia diizinkan mengganti pakaian penjaranya dan untuk seterusnya selama hidupnya ia boleh makan di istana, dan setiap hari diberi uang untuk keperluan hidupnya.
