Jeremiah
Chapter 52

1 ¹ Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

漆德克雅登极时，年二十一岁，在耶路撒泠为王十一年，他的母亲名叫哈慕塔耳，是里贝纳人耶勒米雅的女儿。

2 He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.

他行了上主视为恶的事，全象约雅金所行的一样，

3 Indeed, what was done in Jerusalem and in Judah so angered the LORD that he cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

因此上主对耶路撒泠和犹大大发忿怒，由自己面前将他们拋弃。以后漆德克雅背叛了巴比伦王。

4 ² In the tenth month of the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and his whole army advanced against Jerusalem, encamped around it, and built siege walls on every side.

漆德克雅为王九年十月十日，巴比伦王拿步高率领全军来进攻耶路撒泠，扎营围城，在城四周建筑了壁垒，

5 The siege of the city continued until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

围攻京城，直至漆德克雅为王十一年。

6 On the ninth day of the fourth month, when famine had gripped the city and the people had no more bread,

是年四月九日，城中发生了严重的饥荒，当地人民已没有粮食，

7 the city walls were breached. Then all the soldiers took to flight and left the city by night through the gate between the two walls which was near the king's garden. With the Chaldeans surrounding the city, they went in the direction of the Arabah.

京城遂被攻破，加色丁人还在围攻京城时，君王和全体士兵，黑夜出了靠近御苑的双墙城门，逃往阿辣巴。

8 But the Chaldean army pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the desert near Jericho, while his whole army fled from him.

加色丁军队便追赶君王，在耶里哥旷野追上了漆德克雅。此时他的军队已离开他逃散了。

9 The king, therefore, was arrested and brought to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, to the king of Babylon, who pronounced sentence on him.

加色丁军队擒获了君王，带他上哈玛特地的黎贝拉去见巴比伦王，巴比伦王即宣判了他的罪案。

10 As Zedekiah looked on, the king of Babylon slew his sons as well as all the princes of Judah at Riblah.

巴比伦王在黎贝拉当着漆德克雅眼前杀了他的儿子，和犹大的众首领，

11 Then he blinded Zedekiah, bound him with fetters, and had him brought to Babylon and kept in prison until the day of his death.

然后剜了漆德克雅的眼，给他带上锁链，送往巴比伦去，直到他死，囚在监内。

12 ³ On the tenth day of the fifth month (this was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, captain of the bodyguard, came to Jerusalem as the representative of the king of Babylon.

巴比伦王拿步高为王十九年五月十日，侍立于巴比伦王左右的卫队长乃步匝辣当来到了耶路撒泠，

13 He burned the house of the LORD, the palace of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem; every large building he destroyed with fire.

焚毁了上主的殿、王宫和耶路撒泠所有的民房；凡是高大的建筑都用火烧了。

14 And the Chaldean troops who were with the captain of the guard tore down all the walls that surrounded Jerusalem.

跟随卫队长的所有加色丁军队，拆毁了耶路撒泠周围的城墙；

15 Then Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, led into exile the rest of the people left in the city, and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the artisans.

城中剩下的人民和已投降巴比伦王的人以及剩下的工匠，卫队长乃步匝辣当都掳了去，

16 But some of the country's poor, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.

只留下了当地一部分最穷的平民，作园丁和农民。

17 The bronze pillars that belonged to the house of the LORD, and the wheeled carts and the bronze sea in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke into pieces; they carried away all the bronze to Babylon.

加色丁人又将上主殿内的铜柱，和上主殿内的铜座、铜海都打碎，把铜都运往巴比伦；

18 They took also the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the bowls, the pans, and all the bronze vessels used for service.

此外锅、铲、蜡剪、盆碟、香盘，以及行礼用的一切铜器，全都带走；

19 The basins also, the fire holders, the bowls, the pots, the lampstands, the pans, the sacrificial bowls which were of gold or silver, these too the captain of the guard carried off,

爵杯、提炉、盆碟、锅子、蜡台、勺子和盆盂，凡是纯金纯银的，卫队长也都拿走了。

20 as well as the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze under the sea, and the wheeled carts which King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD. The bronze of all these furnishings could not be weighed.

撒罗满王为上主殿做的两根柱子，一个铜海和下面的十二个铜牛，及十个盆座：这些器皿的铜，重量无法估计。

21 Each of the pillars was eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in diameter; each was four fingers thick, and hollow inside.

至于两根柱子，每根高十八肘；周围是十二肘，有四指厚，中空。

22 A bronze capital five cubits high surmounted the one pillar, and a network with pomegranates encircled the capital, all of brass; and so for the other pillar. The pomegranates. . .

每根柱子上面有铜柱头，高五肘，柱头四周有网子和石榴，全是铜的；另一柱子同样也有象这样的装饰和石榴。

23 there were ninety-six pomegranates. There were a hundred pomegranates, all around the network.

石榴有九十六个，往下悬着；网子四周共有一百个石榴。

24 The captain of the guard also took Seraiah, the high priest, Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.

卫队长又擒获了大司祭色辣雅，副大司祭责法尼雅和三个门丁，

25 And from the city he took one courtier, a commander of soldiers, and seven men in the personal service of the king who were present in the city, and the scribe of the army commander who mustered the people of the land, and sixty of the common people who were in the city.

由城中还擒获了一个管理军队的宦官，七个在城里搜到的君王的亲信，一个征募当地人民的军长的书记，和城中搜到的六十个当地平民。

26 The captain of the guard, Nebuzaradan, arrested these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah,

卫队长乃步匝辣当捉住他们带到黎贝拉去见巴比伦王；

27 who had them struck down and put to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath. Thus was Judah exiled from her land.

巴比伦王就在哈玛特地的黎贝拉将他们杀了。从此，犹大人由本乡被掳去充军。

28 ⁴ This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar led away captive: in his seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three people of Judah;

以下是拿步高掳去的人数：在第七年掳去的犹大人，为数是三千零二十三人。

29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred and thirty-two persons from Jerusalem;

拿步高第十八年，由耶路撒冷掳去的是八百三十二人；

30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, exiled seven hundred and forty-five people of Judah: four thousand six hundred persons in all.

拿步高第二十三年，卫队长乃步匝辣当掳去了七百四十五名犹大人：掳去的人数共计是四千六百名。

31 ⁵ In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the inaugural year of his reign, took up the case of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, and released him from prison.

犹大王耶苛尼雅被掳后第三十七年十二月二十五日，巴比伦王厄威耳默洛达客登极元年，大赦犹大王耶苛尼雅，放他出狱，

32 ⁶ He spoke kindly to him and gave him a throne higher than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

亲切与他交谈，令他坐在与他一同在巴比伦的众王之上，

33 Jehoiachin took off his prison garb and ate at the king's table as long as he lived.

脱去他的囚衣，以后一生日日与王共进饮食。

34 The allowance given him by the king of Babylon was a perpetual allowance, in fixed daily amounts, all the days of his life until the day of his death.

他的生活费用，在他有生之日，直到他死，每天不断由巴比伦王供应。

Footnotes(注解)

¹ [1-34] This supplement to the Book of Jeremiah was taken by the final editor from 2 Kings 24:18-25, 30 and placed here in order to show the fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecies. In part this repeats the history given in Jer 39-41; the history of Gedaliah in 2 Kings 25:22-26 however, has not been reproduced here.

² [4] In the tenth month of the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the month: January 15, 588 B.C. Cf Jeremiah 39:1.

³ [12] On the tenth day of the fifth month . . . nineteenth year: the tenth of Ab-July/August in 587 B.C.

⁴ [28-30] These verses are missing in the Greek text and have not been taken from 2 Kings 25 but from some other source using a different system of chronology. Besides the deportations of 598 and 587 B.C., mention is made here of a final one that took place in the year 582/1, possibly as a sequel to the murder of Gedaliah; cf Jeremiah 41:2.

⁵ [31-34] In the year 561/0 B.C., Jehoiachin was released from prison by Nebuchadnezzar's successor Awel-Marduk (Evil-merodach), who reigned only two years. Babylonian records confirm the fact that Jehoiachin and his family were supported at public expense.

⁶ [32] The other kings: who had also been brought as captives to Babylon.
