Ii Regum 25
1 factum est autem anno nono regni eius mense decimo decima die mensis venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ipse et omnis exercitus eius in Hierusalem et circumdederunt eam et extruxerunt in circuitu eius munitiones
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciae
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 nona die mensis praevaluitque fames in civitate nec erat panis populo terrae
On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 et interrupta est civitas et omnes viri bellatores nocte fugerunt per viam portae quae est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis porro Chaldei obsidebant in circuitu civitatem fugit itaque per viam quae ducit ad campestria solitudinis
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.
5 et persecutus est exercitus Chaldeorum regem conprehenditque eum in planitie Hiericho et omnes bellatores qui erant cum eo dispersi sunt et reliquerunt eum
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 adprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha qui locutus est cum eo iudicium
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 filios autem Sedeciae occidit coram eo et oculos eius effodit vinxitque eum catenis et adduxit in Babylonem
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 mense quinto septima die mensis ipse est annus nonusdecimus regis Babylonis venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus servus regis Babylonis Hierusalem
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
9 et succendit domum Domini et domum regis et domos Hierusalem omnemque domum conbusit igni
And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
10 et muros Hierusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldeorum qui erat cum principe militum
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were [with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 reliquam autem populi partem qui remanserat in civitate et perfugas qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiae
And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
12 et de pauperibus terrae reliquit vinitores et agricolas
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 columnas autem aereas quae erant in templo Domini et bases et mare aereum quod erat in domo Domini confregerunt Chaldei et transtulerunt aes omnium in Babylonem
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 ollas quoque aereas et trullas et tridentes et scyphos et omnia vasa aerea in quibus ministrabant tulerunt
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 necnon turibula et fialas quae aurea aurea et quae argentea argentea tulit princeps militiae
And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 id est columnas duas mare unum et bases quas fecerat Salomon in templo Domini non erat pondus aeris omnium vasorum
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una et capitellum aereum super se altitudinis trium cubitorum et reticulum et malogranata super capitellum columnae omnia aerea similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
18 tulit quoque princeps militiae Seraian sacerdotem primum et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum et tres ianitores
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
19 et de civitate eunuchum unum qui erat praefectus super viros bellatores et quinque viros de his qui steterant coram rege quos repperit in civitate et Sopher principem exercitus qui probabat tirones de populo terrae et sex viros e vulgo qui inventi fuerant in civitate
and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
20 quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps militum duxit ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 percussitque eos rex Babylonis et interfecit in Reblatha in terra Emath et translatus est Iuda de terra sua
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 populo autem qui relictus erat in terra Iuda quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis praefecit Godoliam filium Ahicham filii Saphan
And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23 quod cum audissent omnes duces militum ipsi et viri qui erant cum eis videlicet quod constituisset rex Babylonis Godoliam venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha Ismahel filius Nathaniae et Iohanan filius Caree et Sareia filius Thenaameth Nethophathites et Iezonias filius Maachathi ipsi et socii eorum
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 iuravitque eis Godolias et sociis eorum dicens nolite timere servire Chaldeis manete in terra et servite regi Babylonis et bene erit vobis
And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 factum est autem in mense septimo venit Ismahel filius Nathaniae filii Elisama de semine regio et decem viri cum eo percusseruntque Godoliam qui mortuus est sed et Iudaeos et Chaldeos qui erant cum eo in Maspha
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 consurgens autem omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum et principes militum venerunt in Aegyptum timentes Chaldeos
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 factum est vero anno tricesimo septimo transmigrationis Ioiachin regis Iudae mense duodecimo vicesima septima die mensis sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis anno quo regnare coeperat caput Ioiachin regis Iuda de carcere
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 et locutus est ei benigna et posuit thronum eius super thronum regum qui erant cum eo in Babylone
and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
29 et mutavit vestes eius quas habuerat in carcere et comedebat panem semper in conspectu eius cunctis diebus vitae suae
and changed his prison garments. And [Jehoiachin] did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:
30 annonam quoque constituit ei absque intermissione quae et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitae suae
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
