2 Kings 25
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And it came to pass 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.
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。
2So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
2於是城被圍困，直到 西底家 王十一年。
3On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
3四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。
4Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled 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 round about — and the king went by the way of 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 after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered 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。
6Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon 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 slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried 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。
8Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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 ，
9And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burnt he with fire.
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 all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
10跟從護衛長 迦勒底 的全軍就拆毀 耶路撒冷 四圍的城牆。
11And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
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 of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
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。
13And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them 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，
14And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
14又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、調羹，並所用的一切銅器，
15And the fire-pans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
15火鼎、碗，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。
16The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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。
17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
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。
18And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
18護衛長拿住大祭司 西萊雅 、副祭司 西番亞 ，和三個把門的，
19and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that 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。
20And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 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。
21And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his 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。
22And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
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。
23Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and 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 swore to them and to their men, and said unto them: 'Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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。」
25But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that 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。
26And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid 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。
27And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of 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 him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that 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，
29And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
29給他脫了囚服。他終身常在 巴比倫 王面前吃飯。
30And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days 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。
