列王纪下 25
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
25 西底迦执政第九年十月十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军攻打耶路撒冷，在城外安营，修筑围城的高台。 2 城一直被围困到西底迦执政第十一年。 3 那年四月九日，城里饥荒非常严重，百姓无粮可吃。 4 城被攻破，城里的所有士兵便在夜间穿过御花园，从两城墙中间的门逃往亚拉巴。当时迦勒底人仍四面包围着城。 5 迦勒底军队追赶西底迦，在耶利哥平原追上了他，他的军队都四散而逃。 6 迦勒底人擒住西底迦，把他押到利比拉见巴比伦王，在那里审判他。 7 巴比伦王在西底迦面前杀了他的众子，又剜去他的双眼，把他用铜链锁着押往巴比伦。
圣殿被毁
8 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒执政第十九年五月七日，他的臣仆——护卫长尼布撒拉旦来到耶路撒冷， 9 放火焚烧耶和华的殿、王宫及城内所有的房屋。他烧毁了所有重要建筑。 10 他率领的迦勒底军队拆毁了耶路撒冷四围的城墙。 11 护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去城里剩下的百姓、投降巴比伦王的人以及其他人， 12 只留下一些最贫穷的人，让他们照料葡萄园、耕种田地。
13 迦勒底人打碎耶和华殿中的铜柱、盆座和铜海，把铜运往巴比伦， 14 并带走了盆、铲、蜡剪、碟子及一切献祭用的铜器。 15 护卫长还带走了火鼎、碗等一切金银器具。
16 所罗门为耶和华的殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海和一些盆座，用的铜多得无法计算。 17 铜柱高八米，柱顶有柱冠，高一点三五米。柱冠周围装饰着铜网和铜石榴。两根柱子都一样。
18 护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳走祭司长西莱雅、副祭司长西番亚和三名殿门守卫， 19 还从城中拿住一名统管士兵的将领、王的五个亲信、一名负责招兵的书记和六十名平民。 20 护卫长尼布撒拉旦把他们带到利比拉去见巴比伦王， 21 巴比伦王在那里处死了他们。犹大人就这样被掳去，离开了家园。
基大利做犹大省长
22 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒任命基大利治理犹大的余民。基大利是沙番的孙子、亚希甘的儿子。 23 犹大众将领和他们的下属听到巴比伦王委任基大利治理犹大的消息后，便都到米斯巴见基大利。他们是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、玛迦人雅撒尼亚。 24 基大利向他们和他们的下属发誓，说：“你们不用害怕那些迦勒底官员。你们住在这地方服侍巴比伦王，就会平安无事。” 25 七月，王室后裔以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人在米斯巴刺杀了基大利以及跟他一起的犹大人和迦勒底人。 26 因为害怕迦勒底人报复，犹大众人不论贵贱，都和众将领一起逃往埃及。
约雅斤获释
27 巴比伦王以未·米罗达在他执政的元年十二月二十七日，即犹大王约雅斤被掳后第三十七年，施恩释放了约雅斤， 28 并好言相待，使他的地位高过被掳到巴比伦的其他各王。 29 约雅斤脱去了囚衣，终生与巴比伦王一起吃饭。 30 在他有生之年，巴比伦王供应他每天的需用。

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.
