Secondo libro dei Re 25

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Factum est autem anno nono regni eius, mense decimo, decima die mensis venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ipse et omnis exercitus eius in Ierusalem; et circumdederunt eam et exstruxerunt in circuitu eius munitiones.	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 Et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciae.	2 And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Nona die mensis quarti praevaluit fames in civitate, nec erat panis populo terrae.	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 Et interrupta est civitas, et omnes viri bellatores fugerunt exieruntque de civitate nocte per viam portae, quae est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis, obsidentibus Chaldaeis in circuitu civitatem. Abierunt itaque per viam, quae ducit ad Arabam.	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 Et persecutus est exercitus Chaldaeorum regem comprehenditque eum in planitie Iericho, et omnis exercitus eius dispersus est et reliquit eum.	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 Apprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Rebla, qui locutus est cum eo iudicium.	6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Filios autem Sedeciae occidit coram eo et oculos eius effodit vinxitque eum catenis aereis et adduxit in Babylonem.	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 Mense quinto septima die mensis, ipse est annus nonus decimus regis Babylonis, venit Nabuzardan princeps satellitum servus regis Babylonis Ierusalem	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 et succendit domum Domini et domum regis et omnes domos Ierusalem; omnemque domum combussit igne.	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 Et muros Ierusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldaeorum, qui erat cum principe satellitum.	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 Reliquam autem populi partem, qui remanserat in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis, et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps satellitum;	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 et de pauperibus terrae reliquit in vinitores et agricolas.	12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Columnas autem aereas, quae erant in templo Domini, et bases et mare aereum, quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldaei et transtulerunt aes omnium in Babylonem.	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 Ollas quoque et trullas et cultros et phialas et omnia vasa aerea, in quibus ministrabant, tulerunt;	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 necnon thymiamateria et phialas, quae aurea aurea et quae argentea argentea, tulit princeps satellitum;	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 columnas duas, mare unum et bases, quas fecerat Salomon templo Domini; non erat pondus aeris omnium horum vasorum.	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 Decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una et capitellum aereum super se altitudinis quinque cubitorum; et reticulum et malogranata super capitellum in circuitu omnia aerea; similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum.	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 Tulit quoque princeps satellitum Saraiam sacerdotem primum et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum et tres ianitores	18 And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 et de civitate eunuchum unum, qui erat praefectus super viros bellatores, et quinque viros de his, qui steterant coram rege, quos repperit in civitate, et scribam principis exercitus, qui probabat tirones de populo terrae, et sexaginta viros e populo terrae, qui inventi fuerant in civitate;	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 quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps satellitum duxit ad regem Babylonis in Rebla,	20 These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 percussitque eos rex Babylonis et interfecit in Rebla in terra Emath. Et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.	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 Populo autem, qui relictus erat in terra Iudae, quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, praefecit Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan.	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 Quod cum audissent omnes duces militum, videlicet quod constituisset rex Babylonis Godoliam, ipsi et viri, qui erant cum eis, venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha: Ismael filius Nathaniae et Iohanan filius Caree et Saraia filius Thanehumeth Netophathites et Iezonias filius Maachathitis, ipsi et socii eorum.	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 Iuravitque eis Godolias et sociis eorum dicens: “ Nolite timere a servis Chaldaeorum; manete in terra et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis ”.	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 Factum est autem in mense septimo venit Ismael filius Nathaniae filii Elisama de semine regio et decem viri cum eo; percusseruntque Godoliam, qui mortuus est, sed et Iudaeos et Chaldaeos, qui erant cum eo in Maspha.	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 Consurgens autem populus a parvo usque ad magnum et principes militum venerunt in Aegyptum timentes Chaldaeos.	26 And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 Factum est vero anno tricesimo septimo transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iudae, mense duodecimo vicesima septima die mensis sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis anno, quo regnare coeperat, caput Ioachin regis Iudae de carcere.	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 Et locutus est ei benigna et posuit thronum eius super thronos regum, qui erant cum eo in Babylone,	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 et mutavit vestes eius, quas habuerat in carcere; et comedebat panem semper in conspectu eius cunctis diebus vitae suae.	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 Annonam quoque constituit ei absque intermissione, quae et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitae suae.	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.
