Jeremiæ 39
1 Anno nono Sedechiae regis Iuda, mense decimo, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus eius ad Ierusalem, et obsidebant eam.
In the ninth yeere of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the tenth moneth, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Undecimo autem anno Sedechiae, mense quarto, quinta mensis aperta est civitas.
And in the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the citie was broken vp.
3 Et ingressi sunt omnes principes regis Babylonis, et sederunt in porta media: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Sereser, Rebmag, et omnes reliqui principes regis Babylonis.
And all the princes of the King of Babel came in, and sate in the middle gate, euen Neregal, Sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Neregal, Sharezer, Rab-mag with all the residue of the princes of the King of Babel.
4 Cumque vidisset eos Sedechiae rex Iuda, et omnes viri bellatores, fugerunt: et egressi sunt nocte de civitate per viam horti regis, et per portam, quae erat inter duos muros, et egressi sunt ad viam deserti.
And when Zedekiah the King of Iudah saw them, and all the men of warre, then they fled, and went out of the citie by night, through the Kings garden, and by the gate betweene the two walles, and he went toward the wildernes.
5 Persecutus est autem eos exercitus Chaldaeorum: et comprehenderunt Sedechiae in campo solitudinis Ierichontinae, et captum adduxerunt ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quae est in Terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
But the Caldeans hoste pursued after them, and ouertooke Zedekiah in the desart of Iericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.
6 Et occidit rex Babylonis filios Sedechiae in Reblatha, in oculis eius: et omnes nobiles Iuda occidit rex Babylonis.
Then the King of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the King of Babel slewe all the nobles of Iudah.
7 Oculos quoque Sedechiae eruit: et vinxit eum compedibus ut duceretur in Babylonem.
Moreouer he put out Zedekiahs eyes, and bound him in chaines, to cary him to Babel.
8 Domum quoque regis, et domum vulgi succenderunt Chaldaei igne, et murum Ierusalem subverterunt.
And the Caldeans burnt the Kings house, and the houses of the people with fire, and brake downe the walles of Ierusalem.
9 Et reliquias populi, qui remanserant in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad eum, et superfluos vulgi, qui remanserant, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militum in Babylonem.
Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue into Babel the remnant of the people, that remained in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen vnto him, with the rest of the people that remained.
10 Et de plebe pauperum, qui nihil penitus habebant, dimisit Nabuzardan magister militum in Terra Iuda: et dedit eis vineas, et cisternas in die illa.
But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left the poore that had nothing in the land of Iudah, and gaue them vineyards and fieldes at the same time.
11 Praeceperat autem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de Ieremia Nabuzardan magistro militum, dicens:
Nowe Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel gaue charge concerning Ieremiah vnto Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde, saying,
12 Tolle illum, et pone super eum oculos tuos, nihilque ei mali facias: sed, ut voluerit, sic facias ei.
Take him, and looke well to him, and doe him no harme, but doe vnto him euen as he shall say vnto thee.
13 Misit ergo Nabuzardan princeps militiae, et Nabusezban, et Rabsares, et Neregel, et Sereser, et Rebmag, et omnes optimates regis Babylonis,
So Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward sent, and Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Neregal, Sharezar, Rab-mag, and all the King of Babels princes:
14 miserunt, et tulerunt Ieremiam de vestibulo carceris, et tradiderunt eum Godoliae filio Ahicam filii Saphan ut intraret in domum, et habitaret in populo.
Euen they sent, and tooke Ieremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, that he should cary him home: so he dwelt among the people.
15 Ad Ieremiam autem factus fuerat sermo Domini cum clausus esset in vestibulo carceris, dicens:
Now the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, while he was shut vp in the court of the prison, saying,
16 Vade, et dic Abdemelech Aethiopi, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam sermones meos super civitatem hanc in malum, et non in bonum: et erunt in conspectu tuo in die illa.
Go and speake to Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil bring my wordes vpon this citie for euill, and not for good, and they shalbe accomplished in that day before thee.
17 Et liberabo te in die illa, ait Dominus: et non traderis in manus virorum, quos tu formidas:
But I wil deliuer thee in that day, saith the Lord, and thou shalt not be giuen into the hand of the men whome thou fearest.
18 Sed eruens liberabo te, et gladio non cades: sed erit tibi anima tua in salutem, quia in me habuisti fiduciam, ait Dominus.
For I will surely deliuer thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sworde, but thy life shall be for a praye vnto thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayth the Lord.
