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。

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Sitio de Jerusalén
25 (A)Y en el noveno año de su reinado, en el décimo mes, el día diez del mes, vino Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, él y todo su ejército contra Jerusalén(B), acampó contra ella y construyó un muro de asedio alrededor de ella(C). 2 La ciudad estuvo sitiada hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedequías. 3 A los nueve días del mes cuarto el hambre era tan grande en la ciudad que no había alimento para la población(D). 4 Y al ser abierta una brecha en la ciudad(E), todos los hombres de guerra huyeron de noche por el camino de la puerta entre las dos murallas, junto al jardín del rey(F), estando los caldeos alrededor de la ciudad, y se fueron por el camino del Arabá. 5 Pero el ejército de los caldeos persiguió al rey y lo alcanzó en los llanos de Jericó, y todo su ejército se dispersó de su lado. 6 Entonces capturaron al rey y lo trajeron al rey de Babilonia(G) en Ribla, y este lo sentenció(H). 7 Y degollaron a los hijos de Sedequías en su presencia, y a Sedequías le sacó los ojos, lo ató con cadenas de bronce y lo llevó a Babilonia(I).
Cautiverio de Judá
8 En el mes quinto, a los siete días del mes, en el año diecinueve de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino a Jerusalén Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia(J), siervo del rey de Babilonia(K). 9 Y quemó la casa del Señor, la casa del rey y todas las casas de Jerusalén; prendió fuego a toda casa grande(L). 10 Todo el ejército de los caldeos que estaba con el capitán de la guardia derribó las murallas alrededor de Jerusalén(M); 11 y al resto del pueblo que había quedado en la ciudad, a los desertores que se habían pasado al rey de Babilonia y al resto de la multitud, los llevó en cautiverio Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia(N). 12 Pero el capitán de la guardia dejó a algunos de los más pobres del país para que fueran viñadores y labradores(O).
13 Los caldeos hicieron pedazos las columnas de bronce que estaban en la casa del Señor, y las basas y el mar(P) de bronce que estaban en la casa del Señor, y llevaron el bronce a Babilonia(Q). 14 También se llevaron las ollas, las palas, las despabiladeras, las cucharas, y todos los utensilios de bronce que se usaban en el servicio del templo(R). 15 El capitán de la guardia se llevó además los incensarios y los tazones, lo que era de oro puro y lo que era de plata pura. 16 En cuanto a las dos columnas, el mar y las basas que Salomón había hecho para la casa del Señor; no era posible calcular el peso del bronce de todos estos objetos(S). 17 (T)La altura de una columna era de 18 codos (8.1 metros), y tenía sobre ella un capitel de bronce; la altura del capitel era de 3 codos (1.35 metros), con una obra de malla y granadas alrededor del capitel, todo de bronce. Y la segunda columna era igual con obra de malla.
18 Entonces el capitán de la guardia tomó al sumo sacerdote Seraías(U) y al segundo sacerdote Sofonías(V) y a los tres oficiales del templo[a]. 19 Y de la ciudad prendió a un oficial que estaba encargado de los hombres de guerra, y a cinco hombres de los consejeros del rey que se hallaban en la ciudad(W), y al escriba del capitán del ejército, que alistaba a la gente del país, y a sesenta hombres del pueblo de la tierra que se hallaban en la ciudad. 20 Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los tomó y se los llevó al rey de Babilonia en Ribla(X). 21 Entonces el rey de Babilonia los hirió y les dio muerte en Ribla, en la tierra de Hamat. Así Judá fue llevado al cautiverio, lejos de[b] su tierra(Y).
22 Y en cuanto al pueblo que quedó en la tierra de Judá, al que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, había dejado, puso sobre ellos a Gedalías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán(Z). 23 (AA)Cuando todos los jefes de tropas, ellos y sus hombres, oyeron que el rey de Babilonia había nombrado gobernador a Gedalías, vinieron a este en Mizpa(AB): Ismael, hijo de Netanías, Johanán, hijo de Carea, Seraías, hijo de Tanhumet el netofatita, y Jaazanías, hijo del maacateo, ellos y sus hombres. 24 Gedalías les hizo un juramento, a ellos y a sus hombres, y les dijo: «No teman a los siervos de los caldeos; habiten en la tierra y sirvan al rey de Babilonia, y les irá bien».
25 Pero sucedió que en el séptimo mes, Ismael, hijo de Netanías, hijo de Elisama, de la familia[c] real, vino con diez hombres e hirió a Gedalías, y este murió junto con los judíos y los caldeos que estaban con él en Mizpa(AC). 26 Entonces todo el pueblo, desde el menor hasta el mayor, y los jefes de las tropas se levantaron y se fueron a Egipto(AD), porque temían a los caldeos.
Joaquín honrado en Babilonia
27 (AE)En el año treinta y siete del cautiverio de Joaquín, rey de Judá, en el mes duodécimo, a los veintisiete días del mes(AF), Evil Merodac, rey de Babilonia, en el año en que comenzó a reinar, sacó[d] de la prisión a Joaquín, rey de Judá(AG); 28 y le habló con benevolencia y puso su trono por encima de los tronos de los reyes(AH) que estaban con él en Babilonia. 29 Le cambió sus vestidos de prisión, y comió siempre en la presencia del rey, todos los días de su vida(AI); 30 y para su sustento, se le dio de continuo una ración de parte del rey, una porción para cada día, todos los días de su vida(AJ).
2 Kings 25
Christian Standard Bible
Nebuchadnezzar’s Siege of Jerusalem
25 In the ninth year(A) of Zedekiah’s reign,(B) on the tenth day of the tenth month, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon advanced against Jerusalem with his entire army.(C) They laid siege to the city and built a siege wall against it all around.(D) 2 The city was under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that the common people had no food.(E) 4 Then the city was broken into,(F) and all the warriors fled(G) at night by way of the city gate between the two walls near the king’s garden,(H) even though the Chaldeans surrounded the city. As the king made his way along the route to the Arabah,(I) 5 the Chaldean army pursued him and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. Zedekiah’s entire army left him and scattered.(J) 6 The Chaldeans seized the king(K) and brought him up to the king of Babylon(L) at Riblah,(M) and they passed sentence on him. 7 They slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes. Finally, the king of Babylon blinded Zedekiah, bound him in bronze chains, and took him to Babylon.(N)
Jerusalem Destroyed
8 On(O) the seventh day of the fifth month—which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon—Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.(P) 9 He burned the Lord’s temple,(Q) the king’s palace,(R) and all the houses of Jerusalem; he burned down(S) all the great houses. 10 The whole Chaldean army with the captain of the guards tore down the walls(T) surrounding Jerusalem. 11 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, deported the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population.(U) 12 But the captain of the guards left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.(V)
13 Now(W) the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars(X) of the Lord’s temple, the water carts, and the bronze basin,[a](Y) which were in the Lord’s temple, and carried the bronze to Babylon.(Z) 14 They also took the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the bronze articles used in the priests’ service.(AA) 15 The captain of the guards took away the firepans and sprinkling basins—whatever was gold or silver.(AB)
16 As for the two pillars, the one basin, and the water carts that Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.(AC) 17 One pillar was twenty-seven feet[b] tall and had a bronze capital on top of it. The capital, encircled by a grating and pomegranates of bronze, stood five feet[c] high. The second pillar was the same, with its own grating.(AD)
18 The captain of the guards(AE) also took away Seraiah(AF) the chief priest, Zephaniah(AG) the priest of the second rank, and the three doorkeepers. 19 From the city he took a court official[d] who had been appointed over the warriors; five trusted royal aides[e](AH) found in the city; the secretary of the commander of the army, who enlisted the people of the land for military duty; and sixty men from the common people[f] who were found within the city. 20 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.(AI) 21 The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah went into exile from its land.(AJ)
Gedaliah Made Governor
22 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon appointed Gedaliah(AK) son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over the rest of the people he left in the land of Judah.(AL) 23 When all the commanders of the armies—they and their men—heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.(AM) The commanders included Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite—they and their men.(AN) 24 Gedaliah swore an oath to them and their men, assuring them, “Don’t be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well for you.”(AO)
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down Gedaliah, and he died. Also, they killed the Judeans and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.(AP) 26 Then all the people, from the youngest to the oldest, and the commanders of the army, left and went to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.(AQ)
Jehoiachin Pardoned
27 On(AR) 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 pardoned King Jehoiachin(AS) of Judah and released him[g] from prison.(AT) 28 He spoke kindly(AU) to him and set his throne over the thrones of the kings who were with him in Babylon.(AV) 29 So Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and he dined regularly in the presence of the king of Babylon for the rest of his life.(AW) 30 As for his allowance, a regular allowance(AX) was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, for the rest of his life.
2 Kings 25
New International Version
25 So in the ninth(A) year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. He encamped outside the city and built siege works(C) all around it. 2 The city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 By the ninth day of the fourth[a] month the famine(D) in the city had become so severe that there was no food for the people to eat. 4 Then the city wall was broken through,(E) and the whole army fled at night through the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden, though the Babylonians[b] were surrounding(F) the city. They fled toward the Arabah,[c] 5 but the Babylonian[d] army pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his soldiers were separated from him and scattered,(G) 6 and he was captured.(H)
He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah,(I) where sentence was pronounced on him. 7 They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.(J)
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, an official of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 He set fire(K) to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.(L) 10 The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the imperial guard broke down the walls(M) around Jerusalem. 11 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried into exile(N) the people who remained in the city, along with the rest of the populace and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon.(O) 12 But the commander left behind some of the poorest people(P) of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 The Babylonians broke(Q) up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the bronze Sea that were at the temple of the Lord and they carried the bronze to Babylon. 14 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes(R) and all the bronze articles(S) used in the temple service. 15 The commander of the imperial guard took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—all that were made of pure gold or silver.(T)
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the movable stands, which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed. 17 Each pillar(U) was eighteen cubits[e] high. The bronze capital on top of one pillar was three cubits[f] high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its network, was similar.
18 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah(V) the chief priest, Zephaniah(W) the priest next in rank and the three doorkeepers.(X) 19 Of those still in the city, he took the officer in charge of the fighting men, and five royal advisers. He also took the secretary who was chief officer in charge of conscripting the people of the land and sixty of the conscripts who were found in the city. 20 Nebuzaradan the commander took them all and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 21 There at Riblah,(Y) in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed.(Z)
So Judah went into captivity,(AA) away from her land.(AB)
22 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah(AC) son of Ahikam,(AD) the son of Shaphan, to be over the people he had left behind in Judah. 23 When all the army officers 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, Jaazaniah the son of the Maakathite, and their men. 24 Gedaliah took an oath to reassure them and their men. “Do not be afraid of the Babylonian officials,” he said. “Settle down in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.”
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was of royal blood, came with ten men and assassinated(AE) Gedaliah and also the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.(AF) 26 At this, all the people from the least to the greatest, together with the army officers, fled to Egypt(AG) for fear of the Babylonians.
Jehoiachin Released(AH)
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin(AI) king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. 28 He spoke kindly(AJ) to him and gave him a seat of honor(AK) higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table.(AL) 30 Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.(AM)
