Chapter 52

Jer 52:1 西底家登基的時候、年二十一歲．在耶路撒冷作王十一年．他母親名叫哈慕他、是立拿人耶利米的女兒。

Jer 52:1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

Jer 52:2 西底家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事、是照約雅敬一切所行的。

Jer 52:2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

Jer 52:3 因此、耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作、以致將人民從自己的面前趕出。

Jer 52:3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Jer 52:4 西底家背叛巴比倫王。他作王第九年、十月初十日、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來攻擊耶路撒冷、對城安營、四圍築壘攻城。

Jer 52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

Jer 52:5 於是城被圍困、直到西底家王十一年。

Jer 52:5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

Jer 52:6 四月初九日、城裏有大饑荒、甚至百姓都沒有糧食。

Jer 52:6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

Jer 52:7 城被攻破、一切兵丁、就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門、出城逃跑、迦勒底人正在四圍攻城、他們就往亞拉巴逃去。

Jer 52:7 Then the city was broken up, 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 by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

Jer 52:8 迦勒底的軍隊追趕西底家王、在耶利哥的平原追上他．他的全軍都離開他四散了。

Jer 52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

Jer 52:9 迦勒底人就拿住王、帶他到哈馬地的利比拉巴比倫王那裏．巴比倫王便審判他。

Jer 52:9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

Jer 52:10 巴比倫王在西底家眼前、殺了他的眾子．又在利比拉殺了猶大的一切首領．

Jer 52:10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

Jer 52:11 並且剜了西底家的眼睛、用銅鍊鎖著他、帶到巴比倫去、將他囚在監裏、直到他死的日子。

Jer 52:11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

Jer 52:12 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒十九年、五月初十日、在巴比倫王面前侍立的護衛長尼布撒拉旦進入耶路撒冷、

Jer 52:12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

Jer 52:13 用火焚燒耶和華的殿、和王宮．又焚燒耶路撒冷的房屋、就是各大戶家的房屋。

Jer 52:13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

Jer 52:14 跟從護衛長迦勒底的全軍、就拆毀耶路撒冷四圍的城牆。

Jer 52:14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

Jer 52:15 那時護衛長尼布撒拉旦將民中最窮的、和城裏所剩下的百姓、並已經投降巴比倫王的人、以及大眾所剩下的人、都擄去了。

Jer 52:15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

Jer 52:16 但護衛長尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最窮的、使他們修理葡萄園、耕種田地。

Jer 52:16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

Jer 52:17 耶和華殿的銅柱、並殿內的盆座、和銅海、迦勒底人都打碎了、將那銅運到巴比倫去了。

Jer 52:17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

Jer 52:18 又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、盤子、調羹、並所用的一切銅器、

Jer 52:18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

Jer 52:19 杯、火鼎、碗、盆、燈臺、調羹、爵、無論金的銀的、護衛長也都帶去了。

Jer 52:19 And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

Jer 52:20 所羅門為耶和華殿所造的兩根銅柱、一個銅海、並座下的十二隻銅牛、這一切的銅、多得無法可稱。

Jer 52:20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

Jer 52:21 這一根柱子高十八肘、厚四指、是空的．圍十二肘。

Jer 52:21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

Jer 52:22 柱上有銅頂、高五肘、銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴、都是銅的．那一根柱子照此一樣、也有石榴。

Jer 52:22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

Jer 52:23 柱子四面有九十六個石榴．在網子周圍、共有一百石榴。

Jer 52:23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

Jer 52:24 護衛長拿住大祭司西萊雅、副祭司西番亞、和三個把門的．

Jer 52:24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

Jer 52:25 又從城中拿住一個管理兵丁的官、〔或作太監〕並在城裏所遇常見王面的七個人、和檢點國民軍長的書記、以及城裏所遇見的國民六十個人。

Jer 52:25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

Jer 52:26 護衛長尼布撒拉旦將這些人帶到利比拉巴比倫王那裏。

Jer 52:26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

Jer 52:27 巴比倫王就把他們擊殺在哈馬地的利比拉。這樣、猶大人被擄去離開本地。

Jer 52:27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

Jer 52:28 尼布甲尼撒所擄的民數、記在下面．在他第七年擄去猶大人三千零二十三名．

Jer 52:28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

Jer 52:29 尼布甲尼撒十八年從耶路撒冷擄去八百三十二人．

Jer 52:29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

Jer 52:30 尼布甲尼撒二十三年、護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄去猶大人七百四十五名．共有四千六百人。

Jer 52:30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

Jer 52:31 猶大王約雅斤被擄後三十七年．巴比倫王以未米羅達元年、十二月二十五日、使猶大王約雅斤抬頭、提他出監．

Jer 52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

Jer 52:32 又對他說恩言、使他的位高過與他一同在巴比倫眾王的位、

Jer 52:32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

Jer 52:33 給他脫了囚服。他終身在巴比倫王面前吃飯。

Jer 52:33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

Jer 52:34 巴比倫王賜他所需用的食物、日日賜他一分．終身是這樣、直到他死的日子。

Jer 52:34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
