Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
1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。
2And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
2於是城被圍困，直到 西底家 王十一年。
3By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
3四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。
4Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
4城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門 逃跑 。 迦勒底 人正在四圍攻城， 王 就向 亞拉巴 逃走。
5but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
5迦勒底 的軍隊追趕王，在 耶利哥 的平原追上他；他的全軍都離開他四散了。
6The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
6迦勒底 人就拿住王，帶他到在 利比拉 的 巴比倫 王那裏審判他。
7And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
7在 西底家 眼前殺了他的眾子，並且剜了 西底家 的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，帶到 巴比倫 去。
8On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
8巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 十九年五月初七日， 巴比倫 王的臣僕、護衛長 尼布撒拉旦 來到 耶路撒冷 ，
9He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
9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。
10And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
10跟從護衛長 迦勒底 的全軍就拆毀 耶路撒冷 四圍的城牆。
11Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
11那時護衛長 尼布撒拉旦 將城裏所剩下的百姓，並已經投降 巴比倫 王的人，以及大眾所剩下的人，都擄去了。
12But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
12但護衛長留下些民中最窮的，使他們修理葡萄園，耕種田地。
13Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
13耶和華殿的銅柱，並耶和華殿的 盆 座和銅海， 迦勒底 人都打碎了，將那銅運到 巴比倫 去了，
14They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
14又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、調羹，並所用的一切銅器，
15The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
15火鼎、碗，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。
16As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
16所羅門 為耶和華殿所造的兩根 銅 柱、一個 銅 海，和幾個 盆 座，這一切的銅，多得無法可稱。
17Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
17這一根柱子高十八肘，柱上有銅頂，高三肘；銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴，都是銅的。那一根柱子，照此一樣，也有網子。
18The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
18護衛長拿住大祭司 西萊雅 、副祭司 西番亞 ，和三個把門的，
19Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
19又從城中拿住一個管理兵丁的官，並在城裏所遇常見王面的五個人和檢點國民軍長的書記，以及城裏遇見的國民六十個人。
20Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
20護衛長 尼布撒拉旦 將這些人帶到在 利比拉 的 巴比倫 王那裏。
21There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
21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。
22Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
22至於 猶大 國剩下的民，就是 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 所剩下的， 巴比倫 王立了 沙番 的孫子、 亞希甘 的兒子 基大利 作他們的省長。
23When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
23眾軍長和屬他們的人聽見 巴比倫 王立了 基大利 作省長，於是軍長 尼探雅 的兒子 以實瑪利 、 加利亞 的兒子 約哈難 、 尼陀法 人 單戶蔑 的兒子 西萊雅 、 瑪迦 人的兒子 雅撒尼亞 ，和屬他們的人都到 米斯巴 見 基大利 。
24And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
24基大利 向他們和屬他們的人起誓說：「你們不必懼怕 迦勒底 臣僕，只管住在這地服事 巴比倫 王，就可以得福。」
25In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
25七月間，宗室 以利沙瑪 的孫子、 尼探雅 的兒子 以實瑪利 帶着十個人來，殺了 基大利 和同他在 米斯巴 的 猶大 人與 迦勒底 人。
26Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
26於是眾民，無論大小，連眾軍長；因為懼怕 迦勒底 人，都起身往 埃及 去了。
27On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
27猶大 王 約雅斤 被擄後三十七年， 巴比倫 王 以未‧米羅達 元年十二月二十七日，使 猶大 王 約雅斤 抬頭，提他出監；
28And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
28又對他說恩言，使他的位高過與他一同在 巴比倫 眾王的位，
29So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
29給他脫了囚服。他終身常在 巴比倫 王面前吃飯。
30And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
30王賜他所需用的食物，日日賜他一分，終身都是這樣。
