Jeremiæ 39
1 anno nono Sedeciae regis Iuda mense decimo venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et omnis exercitus eius ad Hierusalem et obsidebant eam
And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 undecimo autem anno Sedeciae mense quarto quinta mensis aperta est civitas
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
3 et ingressi sunt omnes principes regis Babylonis et sederunt in porta media Neregel Sereser Semegar Nabu Sarsachim Rabsares Neregel Sereser Rebmag et omnes reliqui principes regis Babylonis
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 cumque vidisset eos Sedecias rex Iuda et omnes viri bellatores fugerunt et egressi sunt nocte de civitate per viam horti regis et per portam quae erat inter duos muros et egressi sunt ad viam deserti
And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
5 persecutus est autem eos exercitus Chaldeorum et conprehenderunt Sedeciam in campo solitudinis hiericuntinae et captum adduxerunt ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Reblatha quae est in terra Emath et locutus est ad eum iudicia
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
6 et occidit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciae in Reblatha in oculis eius et omnes nobiles Iuda occidit rex Babylonis
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
7 oculos quoque Sedeciae eruit et vinxit eum conpedibus ut duceretur in Babylonem
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 domum quoque regis et domum vulgi succenderunt Chaldei igni et murum Hierusalem subverterunt
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 et reliquias populi quae remanserunt in civitate et perfugas qui transfugerant ad eum et superfluos vulgi qui remanserant transtulit Nabuzardan magister militum in Babylonem
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
10 et de plebe pauperum qui nihil penitus habebant dimisit Nabuzardan magister militum in terra Iuda et dedit eis vineas et cisternas in die illa
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 praeceperat autem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de Hieremia Nabuzardan magistro militiae dicens
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
12 tolle illum et pone super eum oculos tuos nihilque ei mali facias sed ut voluerit sic facies ei
Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 misit ergo Nabuzardan princeps militiae et Nabu et Sesban et Rabsares et Neregel et Sereser et Rebmag et omnes optimates regis Babylonis
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
14 miserunt et tulerunt Hieremiam de vestibulo carceris et tradiderunt eum Godoliae filio Ahicam filii Saphan ut intraret domum et habitaret in populo
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
15 ad Hieremiam autem factus fuerat sermo Domini cum clausus esset in vestibulo carceris dicens
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 vade et dic Abdemelech Aethiopi dicens haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego inducam sermones meos super civitatem hanc in malum et non in bonum et erunt in conspectu tuo in die illa
Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
17 et liberabo te in die illa ait Dominus et non traderis in manus virorum quos tu formidas
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
18 sed eruens liberabo te et gladio non cades sed erit tibi anima tua in salutem quia in me habuisti fiduciam ait Dominus
for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
