Jeremiæ 52
1 filius viginti et unius anni Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem et nomen matris eius Amithal filia Hieremiae 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 Ioachim
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 quoniam furor Domini erat in Hierusalem et in Iuda usquequo proiceret eos a facie sua et recessit Sedecias 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 adversum Hierusalem 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 Sedeciae
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 mense autem quarto nona mensis obtinuit fames in civitate 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 disrupta est civitas et omnes viri bellatores fugerunt et exierunt de civitate nocte per viam portae quae est inter duos muros et ducit ad hortum regis Chaldeis obsidentibus urbem in gyro et abierunt per viam quae ducit in heremum
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 towards the Arabah,
8 persecutus est autem exercitus Chaldeorum regem et adprehenderunt Sedeciam in deserto quod est iuxta Hiericho 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 conprehendissent 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 judgement on him.
10 et iugulavit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciae in oculis eius sed et omnes principes Iudae 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 Sedeciae eruit et vinxit eum conpedibus 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 Hierusalem
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 Hierusalem et omnem domum magnam igne conbusit
He burnt the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
14 et totum murum Hierusalem per circuitum destruxit cunctus exercitus Chaldeorum 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 in vinitores et in 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 aereum quod erat in domo Domini confregerunt Chaldei 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 lebetas et creagras et psalteria et fialas et mortariola et omnia vasa aerea quae in ministerio fuerant tulerunt
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 et hydrias et thymiamateria et urceos et pelves et candelabra et mortaria et cyatos 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 columnas duas et mare unum vitulos duodecim aereos qui erant sub basibus quas fecerat rex Salomon in domo Domini non erat pondus aeris omnium vasorum horum
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 mala granata
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 nonaginta sex dependentia omnia mala granata 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 tirones 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 Iudaeos tria milia et viginti tres
This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 in anno octavodecimo Nabuchodonosor de Hierusalem animas octingentas triginta duas
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;
30 in anno vicesimo tertio Nabuchodonosor transtulit Nabuzardan magister militiae Iudaeorum animas septingentas quadraginta quinque omnes ergo animae quattuor milia sescentae
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand and six hundred.
31 et factum est in tricesimo septimo anno transmigrationis Ioachim regis Iudae duodecimo mense vicesima quinta mensis elevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis ipso anno regni sui caput Ioachim regis Iudae 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.
