1耶路撒冷失陷（王下24:18~20；代下36:11~16）西底家登基的時候是二十一歲，他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。
1Zedekiah was twenty-one 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.
2他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，像約雅敬一切所行的。
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3因為耶和華的怒氣向耶路撒冷和猶大發作，直到他把他們從自己的面前趕走。後來，西底家背叛了巴比倫王。
3For through the anger of Yahweh it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4西底家背叛巴比倫王（王下25:1~2；代下36:17）西底家作王第九年十月十日，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領他的全軍來攻打耶路撒冷；他們在城外安營，又在四周築壘攻城。
4It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that 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於是，城被圍困，直到西底家王第十一年。
5So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6聖城淪陷，人民被擄（王下25:3~12；代下36:17、19）四月九日，城裡饑荒非常嚴重，甚至那地的人民都斷了糧食。
6In 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城終於被攻破了，所有的戰士就在夜間從靠近王的花園的兩牆中間的那門，逃跑出城。那時迦勒底人在四圍攻城；他們就往亞拉巴的方向逃走。
7Then a breach was made in the city, 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 against the city all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.
8迦勒底人的軍隊追趕，在耶利哥的原野上把西底家追上了；他的全軍都離開他四散了。
8But 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.
9他們把王擒住，把他解到哈馬地的利比拉巴比倫王那裡；他就宣判他的罪。
9Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
10巴比倫王在利比拉，當著西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，也殺了猶大所有的領袖，
10The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11並且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎，然後用銅鍊鎖住他。巴比倫王把他帶到巴比倫去，關在牢裡，直到他去世的日子。
11He 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.
12五月十日，就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒第十九年，侍立在巴比倫王面前的護衛長尼布撒拉旦來到耶路撒冷。
12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
13他放火焚燒耶和華的殿和王宮，以及耶路撒冷一切房屋，一切高大的房屋，他都放火燒了。
13and he burned the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.
14跟隨護衛長的迦勒底人全軍拆毀了耶路撒冷周圍所有的城牆。
14All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
15至於人民中最貧窮的、城中剩下的人民，和已經向巴比倫王投降的人，以及剩下的技工，護衛長尼布撒拉旦都擄了去。
15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
16至於那地最貧窮的人，護衛長尼布撒拉旦把他們留下，去修理葡萄園和耕種田地。
16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17聖殿被掠（王下25:13~17；代下36:18）耶和華殿的銅柱，以及耶和華殿的銅座和銅海，迦勒底人都打碎了，把所有的銅都運到巴比倫去。
17The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon.
18他們又把鍋、鏟子、燭剪、碗、碟子，和敬拜用的一切銅器都拿去了。
18They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
19此外，碗盆、火鼎、碗、鍋、燈臺、碟子和奠酒的爵，無論是金的或是銀的，護衛長都拿去了。
19The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
20所羅門王為耶和華的殿所做的兩根銅柱、一個銅海、銅海下面的十二頭銅牛，和十個銅座，這一切器皿的銅，重得無法可稱。
20They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.
21至於那些柱子，每根高八公尺，圓周是五公尺三公分，柱子是空心的。銅的厚度有七十五公釐。
21As 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柱上有銅柱頭，柱頭高兩公尺三十公分，柱頭四周有網子和石榴都是銅的；另一根柱子同樣也有石榴。
22A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.
23每個網子周圍共有一百個石榴，明顯可見的有九十六個。
23There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24祭司與朝臣被殺（王下25:18~21）護衛長拿住祭司長西萊雅、副祭司長西番亞和三個守門的；
24The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
25又從城裡拿住一個管理軍兵的官長，並且在城裡搜獲常見王面的七個人，和一個負責召募當地人民的軍長書記，又在城中搜獲六十個當地的人民。
25and 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 midst of the city.
26護衛長尼布撒拉旦把他們拿住，帶到利比拉巴比倫王那裡。
26Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27巴比倫王擊打他們，在哈馬地的利比拉把他們處死。這樣，猶大人被擄，離開了他們的國土。
27The 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被擄的人數以下是尼布甲尼撒擄去的人民的數目：在他執政第七年，有猶大人三千零二十三名；
28This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
29尼布甲尼撒第十八年，從耶路撒冷擄去的，有八百三十二人；
29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
30尼布甲尼撒第二十三年，護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄去猶大人七百四十五名。總數是四千六百人。
30in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31巴比倫王善待約雅斤（王下25:27~30）猶大王約雅斤被擄後第三十七年，就是巴比倫王以未．米羅達登基的那一年，十二月二十五日，他恩待（“恩待”原文作“使抬起頭來”）猶大王約雅斤，把他從獄中領出來，
31It happened 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;
32並且安慰他，使他的地位高過和他一起在巴比倫的眾王。
32and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33又換下他的囚衣，賜他終生常在王面前吃飯。
33and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
34他的生活費用，在他一生的年日中，每日不斷由巴比倫王供應，直到他去世的日子。
34and 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.
