Jeremiæ 39
1 Anno nono Sedechiae regis Iuda, mense decimo, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus eius ad Ierusalem, et obsidebant eam.
It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
2 Undecimo autem anno Sedechiae, mense quarto, quinta mensis aperta est civitas.
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
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.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon.
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.
It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
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 army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
6 Et occidit rex Babylonis filios Sedechiae in Reblatha, in oculis eius: et omnes nobiles Iuda occidit rex Babylonis.
Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Oculos quoque Sedechiae eruit: et vinxit eum compedibus ut duceretur in Babylonem.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Domum quoque regis, et domum vulgi succenderunt Chaldaei igne, et murum Ierusalem subverterunt.
The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Praeceperat autem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de Ieremia Nabuzardan magistro militum, dicens:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 Tolle illum, et pone super eum oculos tuos, nihilque ei mali facias: sed, ut voluerit, sic facias ei.
"Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
13 Misit ergo Nabuzardan princeps militiae, et Nabusezban, et Rabsares, et Neregel, et Sereser, et Rebmag, et omnes optimates regis Babylonis,
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
14 miserunt, et tulerunt Ieremiam de vestibulo carceris, et tradiderunt eum Godoliae filio Ahicam filii Saphan ut intraret in domum, et habitaret in populo.
they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
15 Ad Ieremiam autem factus fuerat sermo Domini cum clausus esset in vestibulo carceris, dicens:
Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, 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 speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
17 Et liberabo te in die illa, ait Dominus: et non traderis in manus virorum, quos tu formidas:
But I will deliver you in that day, says the LORD; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
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 save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says the LORD."
