إِرْمِيَا 52

١ 1 كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.

It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

٤ 4 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَاءَ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَبَنَوْا عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا حَوَالَيْهَا.

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.

٥ 5 فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا.

So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,

٦ 6 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

٧ 7 فَثُغِرَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَهَرَبَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلًا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عِنْدَ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَذَهَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.

٨ 8 فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَ كُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَنْهُ.

But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.

٩ 9 فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.

And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.

١٠ 10 فَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا فِي رَبْلَةَ،

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he slew all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.

١١ 11 وَأَعْمَى عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا، وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَجَاءَ بِهِ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَجَعَلَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ.

And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.

١٢ 12 وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلتَّاسِعَةُ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَقِفُ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;

١٣ 13 وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ، أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ.

and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire.

١٤ 14 وَكُلَّ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جَيْشِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ.

And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.

١٥ 15 وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ، رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، بَعْضًا مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ.

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنَّ نَبُوزَرَادَانَ، رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ، أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ.

But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

١٧ 17 وَكَسَّرَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ أَعْمِدَةَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْقَوَاعِدَ وَبَحْرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ نُحَاسِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon.

١٨ 18 وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا.

Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh-hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;

١٩ 19 وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ ٱلطُّسُوسَ وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلْمَنَايِرَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَٱلْأَقْدَاحَ، مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةَ.

and the basons, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ وَٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلْوَاحِدَ، وَٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْرًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ.

And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا ٱلْعَمُودَانِ فَكَانَ طُولُ ٱلْعَمُودِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ثَمَانِيَ عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا، وَخَيْطٌ ٱثْنَتَا عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا يُحِيطُ بِهِ، وَغِلَظُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَصَابِعَ، وَهُوَ أَجْوَفُ.

And as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.

٢٢ 22 وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، ٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلتَّاجِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ. وَعَلَى ٱلتَّاجِ حَوَالَيْهِ شَبَكَةٌ وَرُمَّانَاتُ، ٱلْكُلِّ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ لِلْعَمُودِ ٱلثَّانِي، وَٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ.

And [there was] a brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَتِ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتُ سِتًّا وَتِسْعِينَ لِلْجَانِبِ. كُلُّ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ مِئَةٌ عَلَى ٱلشَّبَكَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا.

And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred.

٢٤ 24 وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ.

And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;

٢٥ 25 وَأَخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَصِيًّا وَاحِدًا كَانَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَسَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِلتَّجَنُّدِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

٢٦ 26 أَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِلَى رَبْلَةَ،

And Nabuzardan the captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.

٢٧ 27 فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

And the king of Babylon smote them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.

٢٨ 28 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي سَبَاهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ: مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ وَثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ.

٢٩ 29 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ سُبِيَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ ثَمَانُ مِئَةٍ وَٱثْنَانِ وَثَلَاثُونَ نَفْسًا.

٣٠ 30 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ، سَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ نَفْسًا. جُمْلَةُ ٱلنُّفُوسِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

٣١ 31 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، رَفَعَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ تَمَلُّكِهِ، رَأْسَ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,

٣٢ 32 وَكَلَّمَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ كَرَاسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ.

and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon,

٣٣ 33 وَغَيَّرَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ، وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ دَائِمًا ٱلْخُبْزَ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.

٣٤ 34 وَوَظِيفَتُهُ وَظِيفَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ تُعْطَى لَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ، إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.
