列王纪下 25
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
西底家背叛巴比伦王(A)
25 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，又在四围筑垒攻城。 2 于是，城被围困，直到西底家王第十一年。
圣城沦陷，人民被掳(B)
3 四月九日，城里饥荒非常严重，甚至那地的人民都断了粮食。 4 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。 5 迦勒底人的军队追赶王，在耶利哥的原野上把他追上了；他的全军都离开他四散了。 6 他们把王擒住，把他解到利比拉巴比伦王那里；他们就宣判他的罪。 7 他们又在西底家眼前杀了他的众子，并且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎，然后用铜炼锁住他，把他带到巴比伦去。
8 五月七日，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒第十九年，巴比伦王的大臣，护卫长尼布撒拉旦来到耶路撒冷。 9 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。 10 跟随护卫长的迦勒底人全军拆毁了耶路撒冷周围的城墙。 11 至于城中剩下的人民，和已经向巴比伦王投降的人，以及剩下的民众，护卫长尼布撒拉旦都掳了去。 12 至于那地最贫穷的人，护卫长把他们留下，去修理葡萄园和耕种田地。
圣殿被掠(C)
13 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，把铜运到巴比伦去。 14 他们又把锅、铲子、烛剪、碟子和敬拜用的一切铜器都拿去了。 15 此外，火鼎和碗，无论是金的或是银的，护卫长都拿去了。 16 所罗门为耶和华殿所做的两根铜柱、一个铜海和十个铜座，这一切器皿的铜，重得无法可称。 17 铜柱每根高八公尺，柱上有铜柱头；柱头高一公尺三公寸，柱头四周有网子和石榴都是铜的；另一根柱子同样也有网子。
18 护卫长拿住祭司长西莱雅、副祭司长西番亚和三个守门的； 19 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五个人，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。 20 护卫长尼布撒拉旦把他们拿住，带到利比拉巴比伦王那里。 21 巴比伦王击杀他们，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。
立基大利作省长(D)
22 至于在犹大地剩下来的人民，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒留下来的，巴比伦王委派沙番的孙子、亚希甘的儿子基大利管理他们。 23 众将领和他们的士兵，听见巴比伦王委派了基大利，他们就来到米斯巴去见基大利；其中有尼探雅的儿子以实玛利、加利亚的儿子约哈难、尼陀法人单户篾的儿子西莱雅、玛迦人的儿子雅撒尼亚，以及他们的士兵。 24 基大利向他们和他们的士兵起誓，又对他们说：“你们不必惧怕迦勒底的官员，只管住在这地，服事巴比伦王，就可以平安无事。”
基大利被杀(E)
25 但在七月的时候，王裔以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利，带了十个人和他一起，他们袭击基大利，把他杀死，和他一起在米斯巴的犹大人和迦勒底人，也被杀死。 26 因此，众民无论大小，以及众将领都起来逃往埃及去，因为他们惧怕迦勒底人。
巴比伦王善待约雅斤(F)
27 犹大王约雅斤被掳后第三十七年，就是巴比伦王以未．米罗达登基的那一年，十二月二十七日，他恩待（“恩待”原文作“使抬起头来”）犹大王约雅斤，把他从狱中领出来， 28 并且安慰他，使他的地位高过和他一起在巴比伦的众王。 29 又换下他的囚衣，赐他终生常在王面前吃饭。 30 他的生活费用，在他一生的年日中，每日不断由王供应。
2 Kings 25
Common English Bible
25 1 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He camped beside the city and built a siege wall all around it. 2 The city was under attack until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year. 3 On the ninth day of the month, the famine in the city got so bad that no food remained for the common people. 4 Then the enemy broke into the city. All the soldiers fled[a] by night using the gate between the two walls near the King’s Garden. The Chaldeans were surrounding the city, so the soldiers ran toward the desert plain. 5 But the Chaldean army chased King Zedekiah and caught up with him in the Jericho plains. His entire army deserted him. 6 So the Chaldeans captured the king and brought him back to the Babylonian king, who was at Riblah. There his punishment was determined. 7 Zedekiah’s sons were slaughtered right before his eyes. Then he was blinded, put in bronze chains, and taken off to Babylon.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month in the nineteenth year of Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan arrived at Jerusalem. He was the commander of the guard and an official of the Babylonian king. 9 He burned down the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and all of Jerusalem’s houses. He burned down every important building. 10 The whole Chaldean army under the commander of the guard tore down the walls surrounding Jerusalem. 11 Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard exiled the people who were left in the city, those who had already surrendered to Babylon’s king, and the rest of the population. 12 The commander of the guard left some of the land’s poor people behind to work the vineyards and be farmers. 13 The Chaldeans shattered the bronze columns, the stands, and the bronze Sea that were in the Lord’s temple. They carried the bronze off to Babylon. 14 They also took the pots, the shovels, the wick trimmers, the dishes, and all the bronze items that had been used in the temple. 15 The commander of the guard took the fire pans and the sprinkling bowls, which were made of pure gold and pure silver. 16 The bronze in all these objects—the two pillars, the Sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple—was too heavy to weigh. 17 Each pillar was twenty-seven feet high. The bronze capital on top of the first pillar was four and a half feet high. Decorative lattices and pomegranates, all made from bronze, were around the capital. And the second pillar was decorated with lattices just like the first.
18 The commander of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest next in rank, and the three doorkeepers. 19 Of those still left in the city, Nebuzaradan took away an officer who was in charge of the army and five royal advisors who were discovered in the city. He also took away the secretary of the officer responsible for drafting the land’s people to fight, as well as sixty people who were discovered in the city. 20 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard took all of these people and brought them to the Babylonian king at Riblah. 21 The king of Babylon struck them down, killing them in Riblah in the land of Hamath.
So Judah was exiled from its land.
Gedaliah governs Judah
22 Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar put Gedaliah, Ahikam’s son and Shaphan’s grandson, in charge of the people he had left behind in the land of Judah. 23 All the army officers and their soldiers heard that the Babylonian king had appointed Gedaliah as governor, so they came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah. The officers were Ishmael, Nethaniah’s son; Johanan, Kareah’s son; Seraiah, Tanhumeth’s son who was a Netophathite; and Jaazaniah, Maacathite’s son. 24 Gedaliah made a solemn pledge to them and their soldiers, telling them, “Don’t be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Stay in the land and serve the Babylonian king, and things will go well for you.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, Nethaniah’s son and Elishama’s grandson, who was from the royal family, came with ten soldiers, and they struck Gedaliah, and he died. They also killed the Judeans and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah. 26 Then all the people, young and old, along with the army officers, departed for Egypt because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Jehoiachin in Babylon
27 In the year that Awil-merodach[b] became king of Babylon, he released Judah’s King Jehoiachin from prison. This happened in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. 28 Awil-merodach spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and seated him above the other kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So Jehoiachin took off his prisoner clothes and ate regularly in the king’s presence for the rest of his life. 30 At the king’s command, a regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.

Ang Pagbagsak ng Jerusalem(A)
25 Si(B) Zedekias ay naghimagsik laban sa hari ng Babilonia. Nang ikasampung araw ng ikasampung buwan ng ikasiyam na taon ng paghahari ni Zedekias, tinipon ni Nebucadnezar ang kanyang buong hukbo. Kinubkob nila ang Jerusalem at nagkampo sa labas ng lunsod. 2 Ito'y tumagal nang hanggang sa ikalabing-isang taon ng paghahari ni Zedekias. 3 Nang ikasiyam na araw ng ikaapat na buwan ng taon ding iyon, lubhang tumindi ang taggutom sa loob ng lunsod. Wala nang makain ang mga tao. 4 Noon(C) ay binutas ang isang bahagi ng pader ng lunsod. Nang makita ito ni Haring Zedekias kinagabihan, tumakas siya patungong Araba kasama ang kanyang mga kawal. Doon sila dumaan sa pintuan sa pagitan ng dalawang pader, malapit sa hardin ng palasyo. Ngunit ang lunsod ay napapalibutan ng mga taga-Babilonia. 5 Hinabol sila ng mga ito at inabutan sa kapatagan ng Jerico. At nagkanya-kanyang takas ang kanyang mga kawal. 6 Nabihag si Zedekias at iniharap sa hari ng Babilonia na noon ay nasa lunsod ng Ribla at doon siya hinatulan. 7 (D)Pinatay nila sa harapan ni Zedekias ang mga anak nito. Dinukit ang mga mata ni Zedekias at dinala siya sa Babilonia na gapos ng tanikala.
Ang Pagwasak sa Templo(E)
8 Nang ikapitong araw ng ikalimang buwan ng ikalabing siyam na taon ng paghahari ni Nebucadnezar, pinasok ni Nebuzaradan na pinuno ng mga tanod ni Nebucadnezar ang Jerusalem. 9 Sinunog(F) niya ang Templo, ang palasyo, at ang malalaking bahay doon. 10 Ang mga pader ng lunsod ay giniba naman ng mga kawal na kasama ni Nebuzaradan. 11 Dinala niyang bihag ang natitira pang mga tao sa Jerusalem, pati ang mga sumuko sa hari ng Babilonia. 12 Ang iniwan lamang niya roon ay ilang mga dukha upang magbungkal ng lupa at magtrabaho sa mga ubasan.
13 Ang(G) mga haliging tanso, patungang tanso at ang palangganang tanso na nasa Templo ay tinanggal nila, pinagpira-piraso at dinala sa Babilonia. 14 Kinuha(H) rin nila ang mga kagamitan sa Templo: ang palayok, pala, lalagyan ng abo, plato, sunugan ng insenso at ang lahat ng kagamitang tanso. 15 Kinuha rin nila ang gintong lalagyan ng baga at lahat ng kasangkapang ginto at pilak. 16 Ang mga haliging tanso, ang hugasang tanso at ang patungan nito ay hindi na nila tinimbang sapagkat napakabigat. 17 Ang taas ng isang haligi ay walong metro at may koronang mahigit na isa't kalahating metro ang taas. Nababalot ito ng mga palamuting tanso: hinabi ang iba at ang iba nama'y kahugis ng prutas na granada.
Dinalang-bihag ang mga Taga-Juda sa Babilonia(I)
18 Dinala sa Babilonia ang mga taga-Juda. Kasama sa mga nabihag ni Nebuzaradan ang pinakapunong paring si Seraya, ang kanang kamay nitong si Zefanias at ang tatlong bantay-pinto. 19 Nabihag din niya ang namamahala sa mga mandirigma ng lunsod, ang limang tagapayo ng hari, ang kalihim ng pinunong kawal, at ang animnapung taóng nakita niya sa lunsod. 20 Ang mga ito'y dinala niya sa Ribla, sa kinaroroonan ng hari ng Babilonia, 21 at doon ipinapatay ng hari, sa lupain ng Hamat. Sa ganitong paraan dinalang-bihag ang sambayanang Juda mula sa kanilang lupain.
Si Gedalias na Gobernador ng Juda(J)
22 Si(K) Gedalias na anak ni Ahikam at apo ni Safan ay hinirang ni Haring Nebucadnezar bilang gobernador ng mga natirang mamamayan ng Juda. 23 Nang mabalitaan ito ng mga pinuno ng hukbo na hindi sumuko, sila at ang kanilang mga tauhan ay lumapit kay Gedalias sa Mizpa. Ang mga ito'y sina Ismael na anak ni Netanias, Johanan na anak ni Karea, Seraias na anak ni Tanhumet na Netofatita at Jaazanias na anak ng Maacateo. 24 Sinabi sa kanila ni Gedalias, “Huwag kayong matakot sa mga taga-Babilonia. Dito na kayo tumira at maglingkod sa hari ng Babilonia at walang masamang mangyayari sa inyo.” 25 Ngunit(L) nang ikapitong buwan, dumating si Ismael na anak ni Netanias at apo ni Elisama, mula sa angkan ng hari, na may kasamang sampung tao. Pinatay nila si Gedalias, ang mga Judio at ang mga taga-Babiloniang kasama niya sa Mizpa. 26 Pagkatapos,(M) silang lahat, mahirap man o mayaman, kasama ang mga pinuno ng mga kawal, ay tumakas patungong Egipto dahil sa takot sa mga taga-Babilonia.
Pinalaya si Jehoiakin sa Pagkabilanggo(N)
27 Nang ikadalawampu't pitong araw ng ikalabindalawang buwan ng ikatatlumpu't pitong taon ng pagkabihag kay Haring Jehoiakin ng Juda, pinalaya siya ni Haring Evil-merodac ng Babilonia nang taon na ito'y nagsimulang maghari. 28 Mabuti ang pakikitungo ni Evil-merodac kay Jehoiakin, at pinarangalan siya nito nang higit sa ibang haring bihag din sa Babilonia. 29 Hinubad ni Jehoiakin ang kasuotan niya bilang isang bihag. At hanggang sa siya'y mamatay, araw-araw, kasalo siya ng hari sa hapag kainan. 30 Habang siya'y nabubuhay, binigyan siya ng hari ng kanyang araw-araw na pangangailangan.
