Jeremiæ 52
1 Filius viginti et unius anni erat Sedechia cum regnare coepisset: et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem, et nomen matris eius Amital, filia Ieremiae de Lobna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Et fecit malum in oculis Domini, iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioakim.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Quoniam furor Domini erat in Ierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiiceret eos a facie sua: et recessit Sedechia a rege Babylonis.
For through the LORD’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. 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 adversus Ierusalem, et obsederunt eam, et aedificaverunt contra eam munitiones in circuitu.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar 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 Sedechia.
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 Mense autem quarto, nona mensis obtinuit fames civitatem: et non erant alimenta populo terrae.
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 Et dirupta est civitas, et omnes viri bellatores eius fugerunt, exieruntque de civitate nocte per viam portae, quae est inter duos muros, et ducit ad hortum regis (Chaldaeis obsidentibus urbem in gyro) et abierunt per viam, quae ducit in eremum.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went 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 Kasdim were against the city all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,
8 Persecutus est autem Chadaeorum exercitus regem: et apprehenderunt Sedechia in deserto, quod est iuxta Iericho: et omnis comitatus eius diffugit ab eo.
but the army of the Kasdim pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Cumque comprehendissent 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 to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
10 Et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedechia in oculis eius: sed et omnes principes Iuda occidit in Reblatha.
The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 Et oculos Sedechia eruit, et vinxit eum compedibus, et adduxit eum rex Babylonis in Babylonem, et posuit eum in domo carceris usque ad diem mortis eius.
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 until 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 Ierusalem.
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
13 Et incendit domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnes domos Ierusalem, et omnem domum magnam igne combussit.
He burned the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.
14 Et totum murum Ierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldaeorum, qui erat cum magistro militiae.
All the army of the Kasdim, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
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 of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 De pauperibus vero terrae reliquit Nabuzardan princeps militiae vinitores, et agricolas.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17 Columnas quoque aereas, quae erant in domo Domini, et bases, et mare aeneum, quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldaei, et tulerunt omne aes eorum in Babylonem.
The Kasdim broke the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.
18 Et lebetes, et creagras, et psalteria, et phialas, et mortariola, et omnia vasa aerea, quae in ministerio fuerant, tulerunt: et
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
19 hydrias, et thymiamateria, et urceos, et pelves, et candelabra, et mortaria, et cyathos: quotquot aurea, aurea: et quotquot argentea, argentea tulit magister militiae:
The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as silver.
20 et columnas duas, et mare unum, et vitulos duodecim aereos, qui erant sub basibus, quas fecerat rex Salomon in domo Domini: non erat pondus aeris omnium horum vasorum.
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the LORD’s house. The bronze 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.
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
22 Et capitella super utramque aerea: altitudo capitelli unius quinque cubitorum: et retiacula, et malogranata super coronam in circuitu, omnia aerea. Similiter columnae secundae, et malogranata.
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.
23 Et fuerunt malogranata nonagintasex dependentia: et omnia malogranata centum, retiaculis circumdabantur.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24 Et tulit magister militiae Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum: et tres custodes vestibuli.
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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 tyrones: et sexaginta viros de populo terrae, qui inventi sunt in medio civitatis.
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
26 Tulit autem eos Nabuzardan magister militiae, et duxit eos ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
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.
The king of Babylon struck 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 tria millia et viginti tres Iudaeos:
This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Jews;
29 In anno octavodecimo Nabuchodonosor transtulit de Ierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas:
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
30 In anno vigesimotertio Nabuchodonosor, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiae animas Iudaeorum septingentas quadraginta quinque. omnes ergo animae, quattuor millia sexcentae.
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand six hundred.
31 Et factum est in trigesimoseptimo anno transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iuda, duodecimo mense, vigesimaquinta mensis, elevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis ipso anno regni sui, caput Ioachin regis Iuda, et eduxit eum de domo carceris.
In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.
32 Et locutus est cum eo bona, et posuit thronum eius super thronos regum, qui erant post se in Babylone.
He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33 Et mutavit vestimenta carceris eius, et comedebat panem coram eo semper cunctis diebus vitae suae:
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate 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.
For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
