GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Και εν τω ενατω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου, τον δεκατον μηνα, την δεκατην του μηνος, ηλθε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, αυτος και παν το στρατευμα αυτου, κατα της Ιερουσαλημ, και εστρατοπεδευσεν εναντιον αυτης? και ωκοδομησαν περιτειχισματα εναντιον αυτης κυκλω.1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: end raised works round about it.
2 Και η πολις επολιορκειτο μεχρι του ενδεκατου ετους του βασιλεως Σεδεκιου.2 And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Και την ενατην του τεταρτου μηνος η πεινα υπερισχυσεν εν τη πολει, και δεν ητο αρτος δια τον λαον του τοπου.3 The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Και εξεπορθηθη η πολις, και παντες οι ανδρες του πολεμου εφυγον την νυκτα, δια της οδου της πυλης της μεταξυ των δυο τειχων, της πλησιον του βασιλικου κηπου? οι δε Χαλδαιοι ησαν πλησιον της πολεως κυκλω? και ο βασιλευς υπηγε κατα την οδον της πεδιαδος.4 And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king's garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about,) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Το δε στρατευμα των Χαλδαιων κατεδιωξεν οπισω του βασιλεως, και εφθασαν αυτον εις τας πεδιαδας της Ιεριχω? και παν το στρατευμα αυτου διεσκορπισθη απο πλησιον αυτου.5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Και συνελαβον τον βασιλεα και ανηγαγον αυτον προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος εις Ριβλα? και επροφεραν καταδικην επ' αυτον.6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Και εσφαξαν τους υιους του Σεδεκιου εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων αυτου, και εξετυφλωσαν τους οφθαλμους του Σεδεκιου, και δεσαντες αυτον με δυο χαλκινας αλυσεις, εφεραν αυτον εις Βαβυλωνα.7 And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 Εν δε τω πεμπτω μηνι, την εβδομην του μηνος, του δεκατου ενατου ετους του Ναβουχοδονοσορ, βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, ηλθεν επι Ιερουσαλημ Νεβουζαραδαν ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ, ο δουλος του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος?8 In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 και κατεκαυσε τον οικον του Κυριου και τον οικον του βασιλεως και παντας τους οικους της Ιερουσαλημ, και παντα μεγαν οικον κατεκαυσεν εν πυρι.9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 Και παν το στρατευμα των Χαλδαιων, το μετα του αρχισωματοφυλακος, κατεκρημνισε τα τειχη της Ιερουσαλημ κυκλω.10 And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Το δε υπολοιπον του λαου, το εναπολειφθεν εν τη πολει, και τους φυγοντας, οιτινες προσεφυγον προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος, και το εναπολειφθεν του πληθους μετωκισεν ο Νεβουζαραδαν ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ.11 And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Εκ των πτωχων ομως της γης αφηκεν ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ, δια αμπελουργους και γεωργους.12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Και τους στυλους τους χαλκινους, τους εν τω οικω του Κυριου, και τας βασεις και την χαλκινην θαλασσαν την εν τω οικω του Κυριου, οι Χαλδαιοι κατεκοψαν και μετεκομισαν τον χαλκον αυτων εις την Βαβυλωνα.13 And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Ελαβον δε και τους λεβητας και τα πτυαρια και τα λυχνοψαλιδα και τα θυμιατηρια και παντα τα σκευη τα χαλκινα, δια των οποιων εγινετο η υπηρεσια.14 They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Ελαβε προσετι ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ και τα πυροδοχεια και τας φιαλας, ο, τι ητο χρυσουν και ο, τι αργυρουν?15 Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
16 τους δυο στυλους, την μιαν θαλασσαν και τας βασεις, τας οποιας ο Σολομων εκαμε δια τον οικον του Κυριου? ο χαλκος παντων τουτων των σκευων ητο αζυγιστος.16 That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Το υψος του ενος στυλου ητο δεκαοκτω πηχων, και το κιονοκρανον το επ' αυτου χαλκινον. Το δε υψος του κιονοκρανου τριων πηχων? και το δικτυωτον και τα ροδια επι του κιονοκρανου κυκλω ησαν παντα χαλκινα? τα αυτα ειχε και ο δευτερος στυλος μετα του δικτυωτου.17 One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Και ελαβεν ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ Σεραιαν τον πρωτον ιερεα και Σοφονιαν τον δευτερον ιερεα και τους τρεις θυρωρους?18 And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 και εκ της πολεως ελαβεν ενα ευνουχον, οστις ητο επιστατης επι των ανδρων των πολεμιστων, και πεντε ανδρας εκ των παρισταμενων εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως, τους ευρεθεντας εν τη πολει, και τον γραμματεα τον αρχοντα των στρατευματων, οστις εκαμνε την στρατολογιαν του λαου της γης, και εξηκοντα ανδρας εκ του λαου της γης, τους ευρεθεντας εν τη πολει.19 And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Και λαβων αυτους Νεβουζαραδαν ο αρχισωματοφυλαξ, εφερεν αυτους προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος εις Ριβλα.20 These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 Και επαταξεν αυτους ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος και εθανατωσεν αυτους εν Ριβλα, εν τη γη Αιμαθ. Ουτω μετωκισθη ο Ιουδας απο της γης αυτου.21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
22 Περι δε του λαου του εναπολειφθεντος εν τη γη Ιουδα, τους οποιους Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος αφηκεν, επι τουτους κατεστησε Γεδαλιαν τον υιον του Αχικαμ, υιου του Σαφαν.22 But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
23 Ακουσαντες δε παντες οι αρχοντες των στρατευματων, αυτοι και οι ανδρες αυτων, οτι ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος κατεστησε τον Γεδαλιαν, ηλθον προς τον Γεδαλιαν εις Μισπα, και Ισμαηλ ο υιος του Νεθανιου και Ιωαναν ο υιος του Καρηα και Σεραιας ο υιος του Τανουμεθ ο Νετωφαθιτης και Ιααζανιας, υιος Μααχαθιτου τινος, αυτοι και οι ανδρες αυτων.23 And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 Και ωμοσεν ο Γεδαλιας προς αυτους και προς τους ανδρας αυτων και ειπε προς αυτους, Μη φοβεισθε να ησθε δουλοι των Χαλδαιων. Κατοικησατε εν τη γη και δουλευετε τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος? και θελει εισθαι καλον εις εσας.24 And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying : Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Εν δε τω εβδομω μηνι, Ισμαηλ ο υιος του Νεθανιου, υιου του Ελισαμα, εκ του βασιλικου σπερματος, ηλθεν, εχων μεθ' εαυτου δεκα ανδρας, και επαταξαν τον Γεδαλιαν, ωστε απεθανε, και τους Ιουδαιους και Χαλδαιους, τους οντας μετ' αυτου εν Μισπα.25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 Και εσηκωθη πας ο λαος, απο μικρου εως μεγαλου, και οι αρχοντες των στρατευματων, και ηλθον εις την Αιγυπτον? διοτι εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου των Χαλδαιων.26 And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 Εν δε τω τριακοστω εβδομω ετει της μετοικεσιας του Ιωαχειν βασιλεως του Ιουδα, τον δωδεκατον μηνα, την εικοστην εβδομην του μηνος, ο Ευειλ-μερωδαχ βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, κατα το ετος καθ' ο εβασιλευσεν, υψωσεν εκ της φυλακης την κεφαλην του Ιωαχειν βασιλεως του Ιουδα?27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 και ελαλησεν ευμενως μετ' αυτου, και εθεσε τον θρονον αυτου επανωθεν του θρονου των βασιλεων, των μετ' αυτου εν Βαβυλωνι.28 And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 και ηλλαξε τα ιματια της φυλακης αυτου? και ετρωγεν αρτον παντοτε μετ' αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου?29 And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 και το σιτηρεσιον αυτου ητο παντοτεινον σιτηρεσιον, διδομενον εις αυτον παρα του βασιλεως, ημερησιος χορηγια πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου.30 And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
