¹耶路撒冷失陷（王下24:18-20；代下36:11-16）

¹A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

²他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，像约雅敬一切所行的。

²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim hath done,

³因为耶和华的怒气向耶路撒冷和犹大发作，直到他把他们从自己的面前赶走。后来，西底家背叛了巴比伦王。

³for, because of the anger of Jehovah, it hath been in Jerusalem and Judah till He hath cast them from before His face, and Zedekiah doth rebel against the king of Babylon.

⁴西底家背叛巴比伦王（王下25:1-2；代下36:17）西底家作王第九年十月十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领他的全军来攻打耶路撒冷；他们在城外安营，又在四周筑垒攻城。

⁴And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon — he and all his force — against Jerusalem, and they encamp against it, and build against it a fortification round about;

⁵于是，城被围困，直到西底家王第十一年。

⁵and the city cometh into siege till the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁶圣城沦陷，人民被掳（王下25:3-12；代下36:17、19）四月九日，城里饥荒非常严重，甚至那地的人民都断了粮食。

⁶In the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, and there hath been no bread for the people of the land,

⁷城终于被攻破了，所有的战士就在夜间从靠近王的花园的两墙中间的那门，逃跑出城。那时迦勒底人在四围攻城；他们就往亚拉巴的方向逃走。

⁷then is the city broken up, and all the men of war flee, and go forth from the city by night, the way of the gate between the two walls, that [is] by the king`s garden — and the Chaldeans [are] by the city round about — and they go the way of the plain.

⁸迦勒底人的军队追赶，在耶利哥的原野上把西底家追上了；他的全军都离开他四散了。

⁸And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his forces have been scattered from him,

⁹他们把王擒住，把他解到哈马地的利比拉巴比伦王那里；他就宣判他的罪。

⁹and they capture the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.

¹⁰巴比伦王在利比拉，当着西底家眼前杀了他的众子，也杀了犹大所有的领袖，

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also all the princes of Judah hath he slaughtered in Riblah;

¹¹并且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎，然后用铜链锁住他。巴比伦王把他带到巴比伦去，关在牢里，直到他去世的日子。

¹¹and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him in brazen fetters, and the king of Babylon bringeth him to Babylon, and putteth him in the house of inspection unto the day of his death.

¹²五月十日，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒第十九年，侍立在巴比伦王面前的护卫长尼布撒拉旦来到耶路撒冷。

¹²And in the fifth month, in the tenth of the month — it [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon — come hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners; he hath stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem,

¹³他放火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫，以及耶路撒冷一切房屋，一切高大的房屋，他都放火烧了。

¹³and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house he hath burned with fire,

¹⁴跟随护卫长的迦勒底人全军拆毁了耶路撒冷周围所有的城墙。

¹⁴and all the walls of Jerusalem round about broken down have all the forces of the Chaldeans that [are] with the chief of the executioners.

¹⁵至于人民中最贫穷的、城中剩下的人民，和已经向巴比伦王投降的人，以及剩下的技工，护卫长尼布撒拉旦都掳了去。

¹⁵And of the poor of the people, and the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those who are falling away, who have fallen unto the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the executioners, removed;

¹⁶至于那地最贫穷的人，护卫长尼布撒拉旦把他们留下，去修理葡萄园和耕种田地。

¹⁶and of the poor of the land hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁷圣殿被掠（王下25:13-17；代下36:18）耶和华殿的铜柱，以及耶和华殿的铜座和铜海，迦勒底人都打碎了，把所有的铜都运到巴比伦去。

¹⁷And the pillars of brass that [are] to the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [is] in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken, and they bear away all the brass of them to Babylon;

¹⁸他们又把锅、铲子、烛剪、碗、碟子，和敬拜用的一切铜器都拿去了。

¹⁸and the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they minister, they have taken away;

¹⁹此外，碗盆、火鼎、碗、锅、灯台、碟子和奠酒的爵，无论是金的或是银的，护卫长都拿去了。

¹⁹and the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups, the gold of that which [is] gold, and the silver of that which [is] silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken.

²⁰所罗门王为耶和华的殿所做的两根铜柱、一个铜海、铜海下面的十二头铜牛，和十个铜座，这一切器皿的铜，重得无法可称。

²⁰The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that [are] beneath the bases, that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these vessels.

²¹至于那些柱子，每根高八公尺，圆周是五公尺三公分，柱子是空心的。铜的厚度有七十五公厘。

²¹As to the pillars, eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits doth compass it, and its thickness [is] four fingers hollow.

²²柱上有铜柱头，柱头高两公尺三十公分，柱头四周有网子和石榴都是铜的；另一根柱子同样也有石榴。

²²And the chapiter upon it [is] of brass, and the height of the one chapiter [is] five cubits, and net-work and pomegranates [are] on the chapiter round about, the whole [is] of brass; and like these have the second pillar, and pomegranates.

²³每个网子周围共有一百个石榴，明显可见的有九十六个。

²³And the pomegranates are ninety and six on a side, all the pomegranates [are] a hundred on the net-work round about.

²⁴祭司与朝臣被杀（王下25:18-21）护卫长拿住祭司长西莱雅、副祭司长西番亚和三个守门的；

²⁴And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,

²⁵又从城里拿住一个管理军兵的官长，并且在城里搜获常见王面的七个人，和一个负责召募当地人民的军长书记，又在城中搜获六十个当地的人民。

²⁵and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch, who hath been inspector over the men of war, and seven men of those seeing the king`s face, who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land, who are found in the midst of the city;

²⁶护卫长尼布撒拉旦把他们拿住，带到利比拉巴比伦王那里。

²⁶and Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, taketh them, and bringeth them unto the king of Babylon to Riblah,

²⁷巴比伦王击打他们，在哈马地的利比拉把他们处死。这样，犹大人被掳，离开了他们的国土。

²⁷and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its own ground.

²⁸被掳的人数以下是尼布甲尼撒掳去的人民的数目：在他执政第七年，有犹大人三千零二十三名；

²⁸This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar hath removed: in the seventh year, of Jews, three thousand and twenty and three;

²⁹尼布甲尼撒第十八年，从耶路撒冷掳去的，有八百三十二人；

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar — from Jerusalem, souls, eight hundred thirty and two;

³¹And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and fifth of the month, hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reign, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and bringeth him out from the house of restraint,

³²并且安慰他，使他的地位高过和他一起在巴比伦的众王。

³²and speaketh with him good things, and setteth his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,

³³又换下他的囚衣，赐他终生常在王面前吃饭。

³³and he hath changed his prison garments, and he hath eaten bread before him continually, all the days of his life.

³⁴他的生活费用，在他一生的年日中，每日不断由巴比伦王供应，直到他去世的日子。
