Yeremia 52
1 Zedekia berumur dua puluh satu tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah di Yerusalem sebelas tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Hamutal, anak Yeremia dari kota Libna.
One and twenty years was Zedekiah old when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Seperti Raja Yoyakim, Raja Zedekia juga berdosa kepada TUHAN.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Jehoyakim had done.
3 TUHAN marah sekali kepada penduduk Yerusalem dan orang Yehuda sehingga Ia mengusir mereka dan tidak melindungi mereka lagi. Zedekia memberontak terhadap Nebukadnezar raja Babel,
For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass against Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out of his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 karena itu Nebukadnezar dengan seluruh angkatan perangnya datang dan menyerang Yerusalem pada tanggal sepuluh bulan sepuluh dalam tahun kesembilan pemerintahan Zedekia. Mereka mendirikan markas di luar kota, membangun tembok pengepungan
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they encamped against it, and built against it works of attack round about.
5 dan terus mengepung kota itu sampai tahun kesebelas pemerintahan Zedekia.
So the city was placed in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Pada tanggal sembilan bulan empat tahun itu juga, ketika bencana kelaparan sudah begitu hebat sehingga rakyat tidak lagi mempunyai makanan sama sekali,
And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, when the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land:
7 tembok kota didobrak musuh. Malam itu, meskipun orang Babel sedang mengepung kota itu, semua tentara Yehuda melarikan diri menuju Lembah Yordan. Mereka mengambil jalan lewat taman istana, lalu keluar melalui pintu gerbang yang menghubungkan kedua tembok di tempat itu.
The city was broken in, 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 near the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were round about the city; ] and they went by the way of the plain.
8 Tetapi tentara Babel mengejar Raja Zedekia, dan menangkapnya di dataran Yerikho. Semua anak buahnya lari meninggalkan dia.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Kemudian Raja Zedekia dibawa kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla di daerah Hamat, lalu dijatuhi hukuman mati.
And they caught the king, and they brought him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.
10 Di kota itu juga anak-anaknya dibunuh di depan matanya, dan semua pejabat pemerintah Yehuda pun dibunuh.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: and also all the princes of Judah did he slaughter in Riblah.
11 Setelah itu Zedekia dicungkil matanya, lalu dibelenggu dan dibawa ke Babel. Di sana ia dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, dan tidak pernah keluar dari situ sampai saat ia meninggal.
And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and the king of Babylon bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in the ward-house till the day of his death.
12 Pada tanggal sepuluh bulan lima dalam tahun kesembilan belas pemerintahan Nebukadnezar raja Babel, datanglah ke Yerusalem seorang yang bernama Nebuzaradan. Ia adalah penasihat dan kepala pengawal pribadi Nebukadnezar.
And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, [who] served the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
13 Nebuzaradan membakar Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, dan rumah semua orang terkemuka di Yerusalem.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, did he burn with fire:
14 Lalu semua anak buahnya meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota itu.
And all the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, pull down.
15 Kemudian rakyat yang masih ada di kota, yaitu para pekerja ahli yang tersisa, orang-orang miskin, dan orang-orang yang telah lari ke pihak orang Babel, semuanya diangkut ke Babel oleh Nebuzaradan.
And certain of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that had been left in the city, and the deserters, that had run away to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile.
16 Tapi sebagian dari rakyat yang paling miskin dan tak punya harta, ditinggalkannya di Yehuda, dan disuruhnya mengerjakan kebun anggur dan ladang-ladang.
But certain of the poorest of the land did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
17 Tiang-tiang perunggu dan kereta-kereta di Rumah TUHAN bersama bejana perunggu dipecahkan oleh orang Babel, lalu semua perunggunya diangkut ke negeri mereka.
Also the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break, and they carried off all their copper to Babylon.
18 Mereka juga mengangkut barang-barang ini: penyodok-penyodok, tempat abu mezbah, perkakas-perkakas pelita, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk menampung darah binatang yang disembelih untuk kurban, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk membakar dupa, dan semua barang perunggu lainnya yang dipakai untuk upacara ibadat.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they used to perform the service, did they take away.
19 Barang-barang emas dan perak, termasuk mangkuk-mangkuk kecil dan tempat bara, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk tempat darah binatang yang disembelih untuk kurban, tempat abu, kaki pelita, mangkuk-mangkuk untuk dupa, dan mangkuk-mangkuk untuk menuangkan persembahan air anggur, semuanya diambil oleh Nebuzaradan sendiri.
And the basins, and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the purifying-tubes: of what was of gold the gold, and of what was of silver the silver, did the captain of the guard take away.
20 Barang-barang perunggu yang dibuat oleh Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN, yaitu kedua tiang, kereta-kereta, bejana dan kedua belas sapi yang menopang bejana itu, semuanya begitu berat, sehingga tidak tertimbang.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve copper oxen that served instead of the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels could not be weighed.
21 Kedua tiang perunggu itu sama: masing-masing tingginya 8 meter, lingkarnya 5,3 meter, dan tengah-tengahnya kosong. Tebal perunggunya 75 milimeter. Di atas setiap tiang itu ada kepala tiang setinggi 2,2 meter. Sekeliling kepala-kepala tiang itu ada anyaman dengan hiasan buah delima, semuanya dari perunggu juga.
And as regardeth the pillars, eighteen cubits was the height of each one pillar; and a thread of twelve cubits would compass it; and its thickness was four fingers: it was hollow.
And a capital was upon it of copper; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of copper. And the like was the case with the second pillar and the pomegranates.
23 Buah delima pada anyaman di setiap kepala tiang itu ada seratus, tapi hanya sembilan puluh enam yang kelihatan dari bawah.
And the pomegranates were ninety and six on every side: all the pomegranates upon the network were one hundred round about.
24 Selain itu, Nebuzaradan menangkap Imam Agung Seraya, Zefanya wakilnya, tiga orang penjaga pintu Rumah TUHAN,
And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief priest, and Zephanyah the priest second in rank, and the three door-keepers;
25 ketujuh penasihat pribadi raja yang masih berada di kota, panglima, wakil panglima yang mengurus administrasi tentara, dan enam puluh orang pembesar lainnya.
And out of the city he took a certain court-officer, who had the supervision of the men of war: and seven men of those that had free access to the kings presence, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city;
26 Semua orang itu dibawanya kepada Raja Nebukadnezar di kota Ribla,
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and led them away unto the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 di wilayah Hamat. Di sana mereka disiksa, lalu dibunuh. Demikianlah orang-orang Yehuda diangkut dari negeri mereka dan dibawa ke pembuangan;
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Chamath. Thus Judah was carried away into exile out of his own country.
28 semuanya ada 4.600 orang. Nebukadnezar mengangkut mereka dalam tahap-tahap sebagai berikut: 3.023 orang pada tahun ketujuh pemerintahannya, 832 orang dari Yerusalem pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahannya, dan 745 orang diangkut oleh Nebuzaradan pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintahan Nebukadnezar.
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away into exile: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty and three Jews;
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons;
In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31 Pada tanggal dua puluh lima bulan dua belas dalam tahun ketiga puluh tujuh sesudah Yoyakhin diangkut ke pembuangan, Ewil-Merodakh menjadi raja Babel. Pada tahun itu juga ia menunjukkan belas kasihannya kepada Yoyakhin, dan melepaskan dia dari penjara,
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the exile of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the five and twentieth day of the month that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, and brought him forth out of the prison-house;
32 serta memperlakukannya dengan baik. Yoyakhin diberinya kedudukan yang lebih tinggi daripada raja-raja lain yang juga dibuang ke Babel.
And he spoke kindly with him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 Ia diizinkan mengganti pakaian penjaranya dan untuk seterusnya selama hidupnya ia boleh makan di istana, dan setiap hari diberi uang untuk keperluan hidupnya.
And he changed his prison-garments: and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
