列王纪下 25
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
西底家背叛巴比倫王(A)
25 西底家作王第九年十月十日,巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領他的全軍來攻打耶路撒冷;他們在城外安營,又在四圍築壘攻城。 2 於是,城被圍困,直到西底家王第十一年。
聖城淪陷,人民被擄(B)
3 四月九日,城裡饑荒非常嚴重,甚至那地的人民都斷了糧食。 4 城終於被攻破了,所有的戰士就在夜間從靠近王的花園的兩牆中間的那門,逃跑出城。那時迦勒底人在四圍攻城;他們就往亞拉巴的方向逃走。 5 迦勒底人的軍隊追趕王,在耶利哥的原野上把他追上了;他的全軍都離開他四散了。 6 他們把王擒住,把他解到利比拉巴比倫王那裡;他們就宣判他的罪。 7 他們又在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子,並且把西底家的眼睛弄瞎,然後用銅鍊鎖住他,把他帶到巴比倫去。
8 五月七日,就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒第十九年,巴比倫王的大臣,護衛長尼布撒拉旦來到耶路撒冷。 9 他放火焚燒耶和華的殿和王宮,以及耶路撒冷一切房屋;一切高大的房屋,他都放火燒了。 10 跟隨護衛長的迦勒底人全軍拆毀了耶路撒冷周圍的城牆。 11 至於城中剩下的人民,和已經向巴比倫王投降的人,以及剩下的民眾,護衛長尼布撒拉旦都擄了去。 12 至於那地最貧窮的人,護衛長把他們留下,去修理葡萄園和耕種田地。
聖殿被掠(C)
13 耶和華殿的銅柱,以及耶和華殿的銅座和銅海,迦勒底人都打碎了,把銅運到巴比倫去。 14 他們又把鍋、鏟子、燭剪、碟子和敬拜用的一切銅器都拿去了。 15 此外,火鼎和碗,無論是金的或是銀的,護衛長都拿去了。 16 所羅門為耶和華殿所做的兩根銅柱、一個銅海和十個銅座,這一切器皿的銅,重得無法可稱。 17 銅柱每根高八公尺,柱上有銅柱頭;柱頭高一公尺三公寸,柱頭四周有網子和石榴都是銅的;另一根柱子同樣也有網子。
18 護衛長拿住祭司長西萊雅、副祭司長西番亞和三個守門的; 19 又從城裡拿住一個管理軍兵的官長,並且在城裡搜獲常見王面的五個人,和一個負責召募當地人民的軍長書記,又在城中搜獲六十個當地的人民。 20 護衛長尼布撒拉旦把他們拿住,帶到利比拉巴比倫王那裡。 21 巴比倫王擊殺他們,在哈馬地的利比拉把他們處死。這樣,猶大人被擄,離開了他們的國土。
立基大利作省長(D)
22 至於在猶大地剩下來的人民,就是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒留下來的,巴比倫王委派沙番的孫子、亞希甘的兒子基大利管理他們。 23 眾將領和他們的士兵,聽見巴比倫王委派了基大利,他們就來到米斯巴去見基大利;其中有尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利、加利亞的兒子約哈難、尼陀法人單戶篾的兒子西萊雅、瑪迦人的兒子雅撒尼亞,以及他們的士兵。 24 基大利向他們和他們的士兵起誓,又對他們說:“你們不必懼怕迦勒底的官員,只管住在這地,服事巴比倫王,就可以平安無事。”
基大利被殺(E)
25 但在七月的時候,王裔以利沙瑪的孫子、尼探雅的兒子以實瑪利,帶了十個人和他一起,他們襲擊基大利,把他殺死,和他一起在米斯巴的猶大人和迦勒底人,也被殺死。 26 因此,眾民無論大小,以及眾將領都起來逃往埃及去,因為他們懼怕迦勒底人。
巴比倫王善待約雅斤(F)
27 猶大王約雅斤被擄後第三十七年,就是巴比倫王以未.米羅達登基的那一年,十二月二十七日,他恩待(“恩待”原文作“使抬起頭來”)猶大王約雅斤,把他從獄中領出來, 28 並且安慰他,使他的地位高過和他一起在巴比倫的眾王。 29 又換下他的囚衣,賜他終生常在王面前吃飯。 30 他的生活費用,在他一生的年日中,每日不斷由王供應。
2 Kings 25
New American Standard Bible
Nebuchadnezzar Besieges Jerusalem
25 (A)Now in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, (B)Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, camped against it, and (C)built a siege wall all around [a]it. 2 So the city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 On the ninth day of the fourth month (D)the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. 4 (E)Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls that were beside (F)the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And [b]they went by way of the Arabah. 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. 6 Then (G)they captured the king and (H)brought him up to the king of Babylon at (I)Riblah, and he [c]passed sentence on him. 7 And (J)they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then (K)put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze shackles, and brought him to Babylon.
Jerusalem Burned and Plundered
8 (L)Now on the seventh day of the (M)fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguards, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 And (N)he burned the house of the Lord, (O)the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every great house he burned with fire. 10 So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the bodyguards (P)tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 11 Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguards, led into exile (Q)the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the [d]people. 12 But the captain of the bodyguards left some of (R)the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
13 (S)Now the Chaldeans smashed to pieces the bronze pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the stands and (T)the bronze [e]Sea which were in the house of the Lord, and carried the [f]bronze to Babylon. 14 (U)And they took away the pots, the shovels, the [g]shears, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils [h]which were used in temple service. 15 The captain of the bodyguards also took away the firepans and the basins, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 16 The two pillars, the one Sea, and the stands which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—[i](V)the bronze of all these articles was too heavy to weigh. 17 (W)The height of the one pillar was [j]eighteen cubits, and a bronze capital was on it; the height of the capital was [k]three cubits, with latticework and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, same features with latticework.
18 Then the captain of the bodyguards took (X)Seraiah the chief priest and (Y)Zephaniah the second priest, with the three [l]doorkeepers. 19 And from the city he took one official who was overseer of the men of war, and (Z)five [m]of the king’s advisers who were found in the city; and the [n]scribe of the captain of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city. 20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguards took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at (AA)Riblah. 21 Then the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. (AB)So Judah went into exile from its land.
Gedaliah Made Governor
22 Now as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he appointed (AC)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan over them. 23 (AD)When all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah at (AE)Mizpah, namely, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men. 24 And Gedaliah swore to them and their men and said to them, “Do not 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.”
25 (AF)But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal [o]family, came [p]with ten men and struck Gedaliah down so that he died along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah. 26 (AG)Then all the people, from the small to the great, and the captains of the forces set out and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 (AH)Now it came about in the thirty-seventh year of (AI)the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, [q](AJ)released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison; 28 and he (AK)spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So [r]Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and [s](AL)had his meals in [t]the king’s presence regularly all the days of his life; 30 and as his (AM)allowance, a regular allowance was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.

New King James Version
The Fall and Captivity of Judah(A)
25 Now it came to pass (B)in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around. 2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 By the ninth day of the (C)fourth month the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
4 Then (D)the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled at night by way of the gate between two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were still encamped all around against the city. And (E)the king[a] went by way of the [b]plain. 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him. 6 So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon (F)at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him. 7 Then they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, (G)put[c] out the eyes of Zedekiah, bound him with bronze fetters, and took him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, (H)on the seventh day of the month (which was (I)the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), (J)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 (K)He burned the house of the Lord (L)and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great, (M)he burned with fire. 10 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard (N)broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive (O)the rest of the people who remained in the city and the defectors who had deserted to the king of Babylon, with the rest of the multitude. 12 But the captain of the guard (P)left some of the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers. 13 (Q)The bronze (R)pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and (S)the carts and (T)the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and (U)carried their bronze to Babylon. 14 They also took away (V)the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered. 15 The firepans and the basins, the things of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away. 16 The two pillars, one Sea, and the carts, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord, (W)the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure. 17 (X)The height of one pillar was [d]eighteen cubits, and the capital on it was of bronze. The height of the capital was three cubits, and the network and pomegranates all around the capital were all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with a network.
18 (Y)And the captain of the guard took (Z)Seraiah the chief priest, (AA)Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers. 19 He also took out of the city an officer who had charge of the men of war, (AB)five men of [e]the king’s close associates who were found in the city, the chief recruiting officer of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city. 20 So Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, took these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 21 Then the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. (AC)Thus Judah was carried away captive from its own land.
Gedaliah Made Governor of Judah(AD)
22 Then he made Gedaliah the son of (AE)Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over (AF)the people who remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left. 23 Now when all the (AG)captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Careah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and [f]Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men. 24 And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
25 But (AH)it happened in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family, came with ten men and struck and killed Gedaliah, the Jews, as well as the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah. 26 And all the people, small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose (AI)and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Jehoiachin Released from Prison(AJ)
27 (AK)Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that [g]Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, (AL)released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. 28 He spoke kindly to him, and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he (AM)ate [h]bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. 30 And as for his [i]provisions, there was a [j]regular ration given him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.

Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Căderea Ierusalimului, distrugerea Casei Domnului şi exilul poporului
25 În al nouălea an al domniei lui Zedechia, în a zecea zi a lunii a zecea, Nebucadneţar, împăratul Babilonului, a înaintat împotriva Ierusalimului cu toată oştirea sa. Ei şi-au aşezat tabăra înaintea cetăţii şi au zidit întărituri de jur împrejurul ei. 2 Cetatea a fost în stare de asediu până în cel de-al unsprezecelea an al domniei regelui Zedechia. 3 În ziua a noua a lunii a patra[a], foametea din cetate a devenit atât de mare, încât poporul ţării nu mai avea nimic de mâncare. 4 Atunci s-a pătruns în cetate, astfel că toţi ostaşii au fugit noaptea pe poarta dintre cele două ziduri, de lângă grădina regelui, în timp ce caldeenii[b] înconjurau cetatea. Ei au luat-o pe drumul spre Araba[c], 5 însă oştirea caldeenilor l-a urmărit pe rege şi l-a ajuns în câmpiile Ierihonului. Toată oştirea lui se împrăştiase de lângă el. 6 Ei l-au capturat pe rege şi l-au dus la împăratul Babilonului, la Ribla, unde a fost rostită o sentinţă împotriva lui. 7 Ei i-au înjunghiat pe fiii lui Zedechia înaintea ochilor lui. Apoi lui Zedechia i-au scos ochii, l-au legat cu lanţuri de bronz şi l-au dus în Babilon.
8 În ziua a şaptea a lunii a cincea, în al nouăsprezecelea an[d] al domniei împăratului Nebucadneţar, împăratul Babilonului, Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzilor, un slujitor al împăratului Babilonului, a pătruns în Ierusalim. 9 El a dat foc Casei Domnului, palatului regelui şi tuturor caselor din Ierusalim. El a dat foc tuturor caselor mari. 10 Toată oştirea caldeenilor care era împreună cu căpetenia gărzilor, a dărâmat zidurile din jurul Ierusalimului. 11 Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzilor, a dus în captivitate poporul care mai rămăsese în cetate, dezertorii care fugiseră la împăratul Babilonului şi restul mulţimii. 12 Totuşi căpetenia gărzilor a lăsat în ţară câţiva oameni săraci ca să lucreze viile şi câmpurile.
13 Caldeenii au sfărâmat stâlpii de bronz care erau în Casa Domnului, precum şi piedestalele şi „marea“ din bronz care erau în Casa Domnului şi au dus bronzul la Babilon. 14 Au luat vasele, lopeţile, mucarniţele, farfuriile şi toate uneltele de bronz cu care se făcea slujba. 15 Căpetenia gărzilor a mai luat cădelniţele şi cupele – tot ce era de aur sau de argint. 16 Cei doi stâlpi, „marea“ şi piedestalele, toate aceste unelte de bronz pe care le făcuse Solomon pentru Casa Domnului, aveau o greutate care nu se putea cântări. 17 Fiecare stâlp era înalt de optsprezece coţi[e] şi avea deasupra un capitel de bronz. Înălţimea capitelului era de trei coţi[f], capitelul având de jur împrejur o reţea şi rodii, toate din bronz. Al doilea stâlp, cu reţeaua lui, era la fel.
18 Căpetenia gărzilor i-a luat prizonieri pe Seraia, preotul conducător, pe Ţefania, următorul preot în rang şi pe cei trei paznici ai porţii. 19 Din cetate a luat un ofiţer care avea în subordine ostaşi şi încă cinci oameni dintre sfetnicii regelui, care, de asemenea, fuseseră găsiţi în cetate; l-a mai luat pe scribul conducătorului oştirii, care recruta bărbaţi din poporul ţării şi pe încă şaizeci de bărbaţi din poporul ţării, care fuseseră găsiţi tot în cetate. 20 Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzilor, i-a luat şi i-a dus la împăratul Babilonului, la Ribla. 21 Acolo, la Ribla, în ţara Hamat, împăratul Babilonului a pus să fie omorâţi. Astfel a fost dus Iuda în captivitate, departe de ţara lui.
Guvernarea lui Ghedalia peste Iuda
22 Nebucadneţar, împăratul Babilonului, l-a pus conducător peste poporul rămas în ţara lui Iuda, – pe care el îl lăsase acolo –, pe Ghedalia, fiul lui Ahikam, fiul lui Şafan. 23 Când toţi conducătorii oştirii şi oamenii lor au auzit că împăratul Babilonului l-a pus pe Ghedalia să conducă, au venit împreună cu oamenii lor la Ghedalia, în Miţpa. Aceştia erau: Ismael, fiul lui Netania, Iohanan, fiul lui Kareah, Seraia, fiul netofatitului Tanhumet şi Iaazania, fiul unui maacatit. 24 Ghedalia le-a jurat lor şi oamenilor lor astfel: „Nu vă temeţi de slujitorii caldeenilor! Rămâneţi în ţară, slujiţi împăratului Babilonului şi vă va fi bine!“
25 Dar în luna a şaptea, Ismael, fiul lui Netania, fiul lui Elişama, care era din familia regală, a venit împreună cu zece oameni şi l-a ucis pe Ghedalia. Ei i-au ucis, de asemenea, şi pe iudeii şi pe caldeenii care erau cu el la Miţpa. 26 Atunci tot poporul, de la mic la mare, şi conducătorii oştirii au fugit în Egipt, pentru că se temeau de caldeeni.
Eliberarea lui Iehoiachin din temniţă
27 În al treizeci şi şaptelea an de captivitate a lui Iehoiachin, regele lui Iuda, în a douăzeci şi şaptea zi a lunii a douăsprezecea, Evil-Merodak[g], împăratul Babilonului, în cel dintâi an al domniei lui, l-a eliberat din temniţă pe Iehoiachin, regele lui Iuda. 28 I-a vorbit cu bunătate şi i-a dat un loc de cinste mai presus decât cel al regilor care erau cu el în Babilon. 29 Iehoiachin şi-a schimbat hainele de întemniţat şi pentru tot restul vieţii sale a mâncat la masa împăratului. 30 Împăratul s-a îngrijit necurmat de hrana zilnică a lui Iehoiachin, în toate zilele vieţii lui.
