Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
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.
2 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Et fecit malum in oculis Domini, iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioakim.
3 All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Quoniam furor Domini erat in Ierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiiceret eos a facie sua: et recessit Sedechia a rege Babylonis.
4 In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
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.
5 The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Et fuit civitas obsessa usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedechia.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
Mense autem quarto, nona mensis obtinuit fames civitatem: et non erant alimenta populo terrae.
7 Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of the Arabah,
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.
8 but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
Persecutus est autem Chadaeorum exercitus regem: et apprehenderunt Sedechia in deserto, quod est iuxta Iericho: et omnis comitatus eius diffugit ab eo.
9 They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
Cumque comprehendissent regem, adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quae est in terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
10 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
Et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedechia in oculis eius: sed et omnes principes Iuda occidit in Reblatha.
11 Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
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.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
In mense autem quinto, decima mensis, ipse est annus nonusdecimus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis: venit Nabuzardan princeps militiae, qui stabat coram rege Babylonis in Ierusalem.
13 He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
Et incendit domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnes domos Ierusalem, et omnem domum magnam igne combussit.
14 The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Et totum murum Ierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldaeorum, qui erat cum magistro militiae.
15 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
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.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
De pauperibus vero terrae reliquit Nabuzardan princeps militiae vinitores, et agricolas.
17 The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
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.
18 They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
Et lebetes, et creagras, et psalteria, et phialas, et mortariola, et omnia vasa aerea, quae in ministerio fuerant, tulerunt: et
19 The commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or silver.
hydrias, et thymiamateria, et urceos, et pelves, et candelabra, et mortaria, et cyathos: quotquot aurea, aurea: et quotquot argentea, argentea tulit magister militiae:
20 The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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.
21 Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
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.
22 The bronze capital on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
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.
23 There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
Et fuerunt malogranata nonagintasex dependentia: et omnia malogranata centum, retiaculis circumdabantur.
24 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
Et tulit magister militiae Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum: et tres custodes vestibuli.
25 From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
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.
26 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Tulit autem eos Nabuzardan magister militiae, et duxit eos ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
27 The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
Et percussit eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.
28 This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
Iste est populus, quem transtulit Nabuchodonosor: In anno septimo tria millia et viginti tres Iudaeos:
29 In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
In anno octavodecimo Nabuchodonosor transtulit de Ierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas:
30 In his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
In anno vigesimotertio Nabuchodonosor, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiae animas Iudaeorum septingentas quadraginta quinque. omnes ergo animae, quattuor millia sexcentae.
31 In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
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.
32 The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there with him in Babylon.
Et locutus est cum eo bona, et posuit thronum eius super thronos regum, qui erant post se in Babylone.
33 So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest of his life.
Et mutavit vestimenta carceris eius, et comedebat panem coram eo semper cunctis diebus vitae suae:
34 The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
et cibaria eius, cibaria perpetua dabantur ei a rege Babylonis statuta per singulos dies, usque ad diem mortis suae cunctis diebus vitae eius.
