Jeremiæ 52

1 filius viginti et unius anni Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem et nomen matris eius Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna

Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 et fecit malum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioachim

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 quoniam furor Domini erat in Hierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiceret eos a facie sua et recessit Sedecias a rege Babylonis

For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 factum est autem in anno nono regni eius in mense decimo decima mensis venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ipse et omnis exercitus eius adversum Hierusalem et obsederunt eam et aedificaverunt contra eam munitiones in circuitu

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

5 et fuit civitas obsessa usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciae

So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 mense autem quarto nona mensis obtinuit fames in civitate et non erant alimenta populo terrae

In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7 et disrupta est civitas et omnes viri bellatores fugerunt et exierunt de civitate nocte per viam portae quae est inter duos muros et ducit ad hortum regis Chaldeis obsidentibus urbem in gyro et abierunt per viam quae ducit in heremum

Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city 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 they went by the way of the Arabah.

8 persecutus est autem exercitus Chaldeorum regem et adprehenderunt Sedeciam in deserto quod est iuxta Hiericho et omnis comitatus eius diffugit ab eo

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9 cumque conprehendissent regem adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha quae est in terra Emath et locutus est ad eum iudicia

Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.

10 et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciae in oculis eius sed et omnes principes Iudae occidit in Reblatha

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 et oculos Sedeciae eruit et vinxit eum conpedibus et adduxit eum rex Babylonis in Babylonem et posuit eum in domo carceris usque ad diem mortis eius

And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12 in mense autem quinto decima mensis ipse est annus nonusdecimus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis venit Nabuzardan princeps militiae qui stabat coram rege Babylonis in Hierusalem

Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, which stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

13 et incendit domum Domini et domum regis et omnes domos Hierusalem et omnem domum magnam igne conbusit

and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

14 et totum murum Hierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldeorum qui erat cum magistro militiae

And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

15 de pauperibus autem populi et de reliquo vulgo quod remanserat in civitate et de perfugis qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis et ceteros de multitudine transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiae

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, 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.

16 de pauperibus vero terrae reliquit Nabuzardan princeps militiae in vinitores et in agricolas

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

17 columnas quoque aereas quae erant in domo Domini et bases et mare aereum quod erat in domo Domini confregerunt Chaldei et tulerunt omne aes eorum in Babylonem

And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brasen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

18 et lebetas et creagras et psalteria et fialas et mortariola et omnia vasa aerea quae in ministerio fuerant tulerunt

The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

19 et hydrias et thymiamateria et urceos et pelves et candelabra et mortaria et cyatos quotquot aurea aurea et quotquot argentea argentea tulit magister militiae

And the cups, and the firepans, and the basons, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

20 columnas duas et mare unum vitulos duodecim aereos qui erant sub basibus quas fecerat rex Salomon in domo Domini non erat pondus aeris omnium vasorum horum

The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

21 de columnis autem decem et octo cubiti altitudinis erant in columna una et funiculus duodecim cubitorum circuibat eam porro grossitudo eius quattuor digitorum et intrinsecus cava erat

And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

22 et capitella super utramque aerea altitudo capitelli unius quinque cubitorum et retiacula et mala granata

And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.

23 nonaginta sex dependentia omnia mala granata centum retiaculis circumdabantur

And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were an hundred upon the network round about.

24 et tulit magister militiae Saraiam sacerdotem primum et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum et tres custodes vestibuli

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

25 et de civitate tulit eunuchum unum qui erat praepositus super viros bellatores et septem viros de his qui videbant faciem regis qui inventi sunt in civitate et scribam principem militum qui probabat tirones et sexaginta viros de populo terrae qui inventi sunt in medio civitatis

and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, which were found in the city; and the scribe of 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 midst of the city.

26 tulit autem eos Nabuzardan magister militiae et duxit eos ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha

And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27 et percussit eos rex Babylonis et interfecit eos 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.

28 iste est populus quem transtulit Nabuchodonosor in anno septimo Iudaeos tria milia et viginti tres

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

29 in anno octavodecimo Nabuchodonosor de Hierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

30 in anno vicesimo tertio Nabuchodonosor transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiae Iudaeorum animas septingentas quadraginta quinque omnes ergo animae quattuor milia sescentae

in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31 et factum est in tricesimo septimo anno transmigrationis Ioachim regis Iudae duodecimo mense vicesima quinta mensis elevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis ipso anno regni sui caput Ioachim regis Iudae et eduxit eum de domo carceris

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

32 et locutus est cum eo bona et posuit thronum eius super thronos regum qui erant post se in Babylone

and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

33 et mutavit vestimenta carceris eius et comedebat panem coram eo semper cunctis diebus vitae suae

and he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.

34 et cibaria eius cibaria perpetua dabantur ei a rege Babylonis statuta per singulos dies usque ad diem mortis suae cunctis diebus vitae eius

and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
