Jeremías 52

Schlachter-Bibel 1951

1Einundzwanzig Jahre alt war Zedekia, als er König ward, und regierte elf Jahre lang zu Jerusalem; seine Mutter hieß Hamutal, eine Tochter Jeremias von Libna.

2Und er tat, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN, ganz wie Jojakim getan hatte.

3Und so geschah es wegen des Zornes des HERRN wider Jerusalem und Juda (damit er sie von seinem Angesicht verwürfe), daß Zedekia sich gegen den König von Babel empörte.

4Und es begab sich im neunten Jahre seiner Regierung, am zehnten Tage des zehnten Monats, daß der babylonische König Nebukadnezar mit seiner ganzen Heeresmacht gegen Jerusalem kam; und sie belagerten die Stadt und bauten Belagerungswälle rings um sie her.

5Und die Stadt blieb belagert bis ins elfte Jahr des Königs Zedekia.

6Am neunten Tage des vierten Monats, als die Hungersnot in der Stadt überhand nahm und das Volk vom Lande kein Brot mehr hatte,

7da brach man in die Stadt ein, und alle Kriegsleute flohen und verließen die Stadt bei Nacht durch das Tor zwischen den beiden Mauern beim Garten des Königs, während die Chaldäer die Stadt umzingelten, und nahmen den Weg nach der Jordanebene.

8Aber das Heer der Chaldäer jagte dem König nach und holte ihn ein auf der Ebene von Jericho, nachdem sein ganzes Heer sich von ihm zerstreut hatte.

9Und sie ergriffen den König und führten ihn zum König von Babel hinauf nach Ribla im Lande Hamat, und er sprach das Urteil über ihn.

10Und der König von Babel ließ die Söhne Zedekias vor dessen Augen niedermetzeln, auch alle Fürsten Judas ließ er in Ribla niedermetzeln.

11Zedekia aber ließ er die Augen ausstechen und ihn mit zwei ehernen Ketten binden; und der babylonische König ließ ihn nach Babel bringen und legte ihn ins Gefängnis bis zum Tage seines Todes.

12Aber am zehnten Tage des fünften Monats, im neunzehnten Jahre des babylonischen Königs Nebukadnezar, kam Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, welcher vor dem König von Babel stand,

13nach Jerusalem und verbrannte das Haus des HERRN und das Haus des Königs und alle Häuser von Jerusalem; alle großen Häuser verbrannte er mit Feuer;

14auch alle Ringmauern von Jerusalem zerstörte das Heer der Chaldäer, welches der Oberste der Leibwache bei sich hatte.

15Und von den Geringen des Volkes und den Rest des Volkes, der in der Stadt übriggeblieben war, samt den Überläufern, die zum König von Babel gefallen waren, und den Rest der Handwerker führte Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, gefangen hinweg.

16Aber von den Geringen auf dem Lande ließ Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, etliche als Winzer und Ackerleute zurück.

17Die ehernen Säulen aber, welche zum Hause des HERRN gehörten, und die Gestelle und das eherne Meer, das im Hause des HERRN war, zerbrachen die Chaldäer und schleppten das Erz nach Babel.

18Sie nahmen auch die Töpfe, die Schaufeln, die Messer, die Sprengschalen, die Pfannen und alles eherne Gerät, womit man den Gottesdienst zu verrichten pflegte;

19die Becken und die Kellen, die Sprengschalen und die Waschbecken, die Leuchter und die Lichtscheren und die Schalen; alles, was von Gold war, und alles, was von Silber war, das nahm der Oberste der Leibwache weg.

20Die zwei Säulen, das eine Meer und die zwölf ehernen Rinder darunter, die Gestelle, welche der König Salomo für das Haus des HERRN hatte machen lassen, das Erz von allen diesen Geräten war nicht zu wägen.

21Jede der beiden Säulen war achtzehn Ellen hoch und ein Faden von zwölf Ellen umspannte sie; sie waren aber vier Finger dick, inwendig hohl.

22Oben darauf war ein eherner Knauf, und die Höhe des einen Knaufs betrug fünf Ellen; und es war ein Kranz mit Granatäpfeln an dem Knauf ringsum, alles von Erz; ganz gleich war auch die andere Säule und hatte auch Granatäpfel.

23Es waren sechsundneunzig Granatäpfel nach den Windrichtungen verteilt, im ganzen deren hundert in dem Kranz ringsum.

24Und der Oberste der Leibwache nahm den Hauptpriester Seraja und den zweiten Priester Zephanja samt den drei Schwellenhütern;

25er nahm auch aus der Stadt einen Kämmerer, der über das Kriegsvolk gesetzt war, und sieben Männer von denen, die das Angesicht des Königs gesehen hatten, die in der Stadt gefunden wurden, dazu den Schreiber des Feldhauptmanns, der das Landvolk zum Heeresdienst aushob, und sechzig Mann vom Landvolk, die in der Stadt gefunden wurden;

26diese nahm Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, fest und führte sie zum König von Babel nach Ribla.

27Der König von Babel aber ließ sie zu Ribla, im Lande Hamat totschlagen. So wurde Juda aus seinem Lande weggeführt.

28Dies ist das Volk, welches Nebukadnezar gefangen weggeführt hat: Im siebenten Jahre 3023 Juden;

29im achtzehnten Jahre Nebukadnezars: aus Jerusalem 832 Seelen;

30im dreiundzwanzigsten Jahre führte Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, von den Juden 745 Seelen weg; im ganzen 4600 Seelen.

31Im siebenunddreißigsten Jahre der Gefangenschaft Jojachins, des Königs von Juda, am fünfundzwanzigsten Tage des zwölften Monats, erhob Evil-Merodach, der König von Babel, in dem Jahre, da er König ward, das Haupt Jojachins, des Königs von Juda, und führte ihn aus dem Gefängnis heraus;

32er redete freundlich mit ihm und setzte seinen Stuhl über die Stühle der Könige, die bei ihm zu Babel waren.

33Er ließ ihn auch seine Gefängniskleider ablegen und erlaubte ihm, allezeit in seiner Gegenwart zu essen, sein Leben lang;

34und sein Unterhalt, der beständige Unterhalt, wurde ihm vom König zu Babel gewährt, soviel er täglich bedurfte, bis zum Tage seines Todes, alle Tage, die er noch zu leben hatte.

Reina-Valera 1909

1ERA Sedechîas de edad de veintiún años cuando comenzó á reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalem. Su madre se llamaba Hamutal, hija de Jeremías, de Libna.

2E hizo lo malo en los ojos de Jehová, conforme á todo lo que hizo Joacim.

3Y á causa de la ira de Jehová contra Jerusalem y Judá, fué el llegar á echarlos de su presencia: y rebelóse Sedechîas contra el rey de Babilonia.

4Aconteció por tanto á los nueve años de su reinado, en el mes décimo, á los diez días del mes, que vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, él y todo su ejército, contra Jerusalem, y contra ella asentaron campo, y de todas partes edificaron contra ella baluartes.

5Y estuvo cercada la ciudad hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedechîas.

6En el mes cuarto, á los nueve del mes, prevaleció el hambre en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para el pueblo de la tierra.

7Y fué entrada la ciudad, y todos los hombres de guerra huyeron, y saliéronse de la ciudad de noche por el camino del postigo de entre los dos muros, que había cerca del jardín del rey, y fuéronse por el camino del desierto, estando aún los Caldeos junto á la ciudad alrededor.

8Y el ejército de los Caldeos siguió al rey, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y esparcióse de él todo su ejército.

9Entonces prendieron al rey, é hiciéronle venir al rey de Babilonia, á Ribla en tierra de Hamath, donde pronunció contra él sentencia.

10Y degolló el rey de Babilonia á los hijos de Sedechîas delante de sus ojos, y también degolló á todos los príncipes de Judá en Ribla.

11A Sedechîas empero sacó los ojos, y le aprisionó con grillos, é hízolo el rey de Babilonia llevar á Babilonia; y púsolo en la casa de la cárcel hasta el día en que murió.

12Y en el mes quinto, á los diez del mes, que era el año diecinueve del reinado de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino á Jerusalem Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, que solía estar delante del rey de Babilonia.

13Y quemó la casa de Jehová, y la casa del rey, y todas las casas de Jerusalem; y abrasó con fuego todo grande edificio.

14Y todo el ejército de los Caldeos, que venía con el capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros de Jerusalem en derredor.

15E hizo trasportar Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los pobres del pueblo, y toda la otra gente vulgar que en la ciudad habían quedado, y los fugitivos que se habían huído al rey de Babilonia, y todo el resto de la multitud vulgar.

16Mas de los pobres del país dejó Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, para viñadores y labradores.

17Y los Caldeos quebraron las columnas de bronce que estaban en la casa de Jehová, y las basas, y el mar de bronce que estaba en la casa de Jehová, y llevaron todo el metal á Babilonia.

18Lleváronse también los calderos, y los badiles, y los salterios, y las bacías, y los cazos, y todos los vasos de metal con que se servían.

19Y las copas, é incensarios, y tazones, y ollas, y candeleros, y escudillas, y tazas: lo que de oro de oro, y lo que de plata de plata, se llevó el capitán de la guardia.

20Las dos columnas, un mar, y doce bueyes de bronce que estaban debajo de las basas, que había hecho el rey Salomón en la casa de Jehová: no se podía pesar el metal de todos estos vasos.

21Cuanto á las columnas, la altura de la columna era de dieciocho codos, y un hilo de doce codos la rodeaba: y su grueso era de cuatro dedos, y hueca.

22Y el capitel de bronce que había sobre ella, era de altura de cinco codos, con una red y granadas en el capitel alrededor, todo de bronce; y lo mismo era lo de la segunda columna con sus granadas.

23Había noventa y seis granadas en cada orden: todas ellas eran ciento sobre la red alrededor.

24Tomó también el capitán de la guardia á Seraías principal sacerdote, y á Sophonías segundo sacerdote, y tres guardas del atrio.

25Y de la ciudad tomó un eunuco que era capitán sobre los hombres de guerra, y siete hombres de los continuos del rey, que se hallaron en la ciudad; y al principal secretario de la milicia, que revistaba el pueblo de la tierra para la guerra; y sesenta hombres del vulgo del país, que se hallaron dentro de la ciudad.

26Tomólos pues Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, y llevólos al rey de Babilonia á Ribla.

27Y el rey de Babilonia los hirió, y los mató en Ribla en tierra de Hamath. Así fué Judá trasportado de su tierra.

28Este es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor hizo trasportar: En el año séptimo, tres mil veintitrés Judíos:

29En el año dieciocho hizo Nabucodonosor trasportar de Jerusalem ochocientas treinta y dos personas:

30El año veintitrés de Nabucodonosor, trasportó Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, setecientas cuarenta y cinco personas de los Judíos: todas las personas fueron cuatro mil seiscientas.

31Y acaeció que en el año treinta y siete de la cautividad de Joachîn rey de Judá, en el mes duodécimo, á los veinticinco del mes, Evil-merodach, rey de Babilonia, en el año primero de su reinado, alzó la cabeza de Joachîn rey de Judá y sacólo de la casa de la cárcel;

32Y habló con él amigablemente, é hizo poner su silla sobre las sillas de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.

33Hízole mudar también los vestidos de su prisión, y comía pan delante de él siempre todos los días de su vida.

34Y continuamente se le daba ración por el rey de Babilonia, cada cosa en su día por todos los de su vida, hasta el día de su muerte.

King James Version

1Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

5So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

10And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

13And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

14And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

15Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

17Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

18The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

19And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

20The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

21And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

22And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

23And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

24And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

25He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

26So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

28This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

29In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

30In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

32And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

34And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

World English Bible

1Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3For through the LORD’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

5So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

6In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city 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 all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,

8but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.

10The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

13He burned the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.

14All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

17The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.

18They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.

19The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as silver.

20They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the LORD’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.

21As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.

22A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.

23There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

24The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,

25and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the 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 middle of the city.

26Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

28This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Jews;

29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

30in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand six hundred.

31In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.

32He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

33and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.

34For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
