LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εγενηθη εν τω ετει τω ενατω της βασιλειας αυτου εν τω μηνι τω δεκατω ηλθεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και πασα η δυναμις αυτου επι ιερουσαλημ και παρενεβαλεν επ' αυτην και ωκοδομησεν επ' αυτην περιτειχος κυκλω	1 In the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and his whole army advanced against Jerusalem, encamped around it, and built siege walls on every side.
2 και ηλθεν η πολις εν περιοχη εως του ενδεκατου ετους του βασιλεως σεδεκιου	2 The siege of the city continued until the eleventh year of Zedekiah.
3 ενατη του μηνος και ενισχυσεν ο λιμος εν τη πολει και ουκ ησαν αρτοι τω λαω της γης	3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, when famine had gripped the city, and the people had no more bread,
4 και ερραγη η πολις και παντες οι ανδρες του πολεμου εξηλθον νυκτος οδον πυλης της ανα μεσον των τειχεων αυτη η εστιν του κηπου του βασιλεως και οι χαλδαιοι επι την πολιν κυκλω και επορευθη οδον την αραβα	4 the city walls were breached. Then the king and all the soldiers left the city by night through the gate between the two walls which was near the king's garden. Since the Chaldeans had the city surrounded, they went in the direction of the Arabah.
5 και εδιωξεν η δυναμις των χαλδαιων οπισω του βασιλεως και κατελαβον αυτον εν αραβωθ ιεριχω και πασα η δυναμις αυτου διεσπαρη επανωθεν αυτου	5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king and overtook him in the desert near Jericho, abandoned by his whole army.
6 και συνελαβον τον βασιλεα και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον βασιλεα βαβυλωνος εις δεβλαθα και ελαλησεν μετ' αυτου κρισιν	6 The king was therefore arrested and brought to Riblah to the king of Babylon, who pronounced sentence on him.
7 και τους υιους σεδεκιου εσφαξεν κατ' οφθαλμους αυτου και τους οφθαλμους σεδεκιου εξετυφλωσεν και εδησεν αυτον εν πεδαις και ηγαγεν αυτον εις βαβυλωνα	7 He had Zedekiah's sons slain before his eyes. Then he blinded Zedekiah, bound him with fetters, and had him brought to Babylon.
8 και εν τω μηνι τω πεμπτω εβδομη του μηνος αυτος ενιαυτος εννεακαιδεκατος τω ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλει βαβυλωνος ηλθεν ναβουζαρδαν ο αρχιμαγειρος εστως ενωπιον βασιλεως βαβυλωνος εις ιερουσαλημ	8 On the seventh day of the fifth month (this was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, captain of the bodyguard, came to Jerusalem as the representative of the king of Babylon.
9 και ενεπρησεν τον οικον κυριου και τον οικον του βασιλεως και παντας τους οικους ιερουσαλημ και παν οικον ενεπρησεν	9 He burned the house of the LORD, the palace of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem; every large building was destroyed by fire.
10 ο αρχιμαγειρος	10 Then the Chaldean troops who were with the captain of the guard tore down the walls that surrounded Jerusalem.
11 και το περισσον του λαου το καταλειφθεν εν τη πολει και τους εμπεπτωκοτας οι ενεπεσον προς βασιλεα βαβυλωνος και το λοιπον του στηριγματος μετηρεν ναβουζαρδαν ο αρχιμαγειρος	11 Then Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, led into exile the last of the people remaining in the city, and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the last of the artisans.
12 και απο των πτωχων της γης υπελιπεν ο αρχιμαγειρος εις αμπελουργους και εις γαβιν	12 But some of the country's poor, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
13 και τους στυλους τους χαλκους τους εν οικω κυριου και τας μεχωνωθ και την θαλασσαν την χαλκην την εν οικω κυριου συνετριψαν οι χαλδαιοι και ηραν τον χαλκον αυτων εις βαβυλωνα	13 The bronze pillars that belonged to the house of the LORD, and the wheeled carts and the bronze sea in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke into pieces; they carried away the bronze to Babylon.
14 και τους λεβητας και τα ιαμιν και τας φιαλας και τας θυισκας και παντα τα σκευη τα χαλκα εν οις λειτουργουσιν εν αυτοις ελαβεν	14 They took also the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the bowls, the pans and all the bronze vessels used for service.
15 και τα πυρεια και τας φιαλας τας χρυσας και τας αργυρας ελαβεν ο αρχιμαγειρος	15 The fire-holders and the bowls which were of gold or silver the captain of the guard also carried off.
16 στυλους δυο η θαλασσα η μια και τα μεχωνωθ α εποιησεν σαλωμων τω οικω κυριου ουκ ην σταθμος του χαλκου παντων των σκευων	16 The weight in bronze of the two pillars, the bronze sea, and the wheeled carts, all of them furnishings which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, was never calculated.
17 οκτωκαιδεκα πηχεων υψος του στυλου του ενος και το χωθαρ επ' αυτου το χαλκουν και το υψος του χωθαρ τριων πηχεων σαβαχα και ροαι επι του χωθαρ κυκλω τα παντα χαλκα και κατα τα αυτα τω στυλω τω δευτερω επι τω σαβαχα	17 Each of the pillars was eighteen cubits high; a bronze capital five cubits high surmounted each pillar, and a network with pomegranates encircled the capital, all of bronze; and so for the other pillar, as regards the network.
18 και ελαβεν ο αρχιμαγειρος τον σαραιαν ιερεα τον πρωτον και τον σοφονιαν υιον της δευτερωσεως και τους τρεις τους φυλασσοντας τον σταθμον	18 The captain of the guard also took Seraiah the high priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
19 και εκ της πολεως ελαβεν ευνουχον ενα ος ην επιστατης επι των ανδρων των πολεμιστων και πεντε ανδρας των ορωντων το προσωπον του βασιλεως τους ευρεθεντας εν τη πολει και τον γραμματεα του αρχοντος της δυναμεως τον εκτασσοντα τον λαον της γης και εξηκοντα ανδρας του λαου της γης τους ευρεθεντας εν τη πολει	19 And from the city he took one courtier, a commander of soldiers, five men in the personal service of the king who were still in the city, the scribe of the army commander, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty of the common people still remaining in the city.
20 και ελαβεν αυτους ναβουζαρδαν ο αρχιμαγειρος και απηγαγεν αυτους προς τον βασιλεα βαβυλωνος εις δεβλαθα	20 The captain of the guard, Nebuzaradan, arrested these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah;
21 και επαισεν αυτους βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και εθανατωσεν αυτους εν δεβλαθα εν γη αιμαθ και απωκισθη ιουδας επανωθεν της γης αυτου	21 the king had them struck down and put to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath. Thus was Judah exiled from her land.
22 και ο λαος ο καταλειφθεις εν γη ιουδα ους κατελιπεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και κατεστησεν επ' αυτων τον γοδολιαν υιον αχικαμ υιου σαφαν	22 As for the people whom he had allowed to remain in the land of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, appointed as their governor Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan.
23 και ηκουσαν παντες οι αρχοντες της δυναμεως αυτοι και οι ανδρες αυτων οτι κατεστησεν βασιλευς βαβυλωνος τον γοδολιαν και ηλθον προς γοδολιαν εις μασσηφαθ και ισμαηλ υιος ναθανιου και ιωαναν υιος καρηε και σαραιας υιος θανεμαθ ο νετωφαθιτης και ιεζονιας υιος του μαχαθι αυτοι και οι ανδρες αυτων	23 Hearing that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah governor, all the army commanders with their men came to him at Mizpah: Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, Johanan, son of Kareah, Seraiah, son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, from Beth-maacah.
24 και ωμοσεν γοδολιας αυτοις και τοις ανδρασιν αυτων και ειπεν αυτοις μη φοβεισθε παροδον των χαλδαιων καθισατε εν τη γη και δουλευσατε τω βασιλει βαβυλωνος και καλως εσται υμιν	24 Gedaliah gave the commanders and their men his oath. "Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials," he said to them. "Remain in the country and serve the king of Babylon, and all will be well with you."
25 και εγενηθη εν τω εβδομω μηνι ηλθεν ισμαηλ υιος ναθανιου υιου ελισαμα εκ του σπερματος των βασιλεων και δεκα ανδρες μετ' αυτου και επαταξεν τον γοδολιαν και απεθανεν και τους ιουδαιους και τους χαλδαιους οι ησαν μετ' αυτου εις μασσηφαθ	25 But in the seventh month Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of royal descent, came with ten men, attacked Gedaliah and killed him, along with the Jews and Chaldeans who were in Mizpah with him.
26 και ανεστη πας ο λαος απο μικρου και εως μεγαλου και οι αρχοντες των δυναμεων και εισηλθον εις αιγυπτον οτι εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου των χαλδαιων	26 Then all the people, great and small, left with the army commanders and went to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
27 και εγενηθη εν τω τριακοστω και εβδομω ετει της αποικεσιας του ιωακιμ βασιλεως ιουδα εν τω δωδεκατω μηνι εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος υψωσεν ευιλμαρωδαχ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εν τω ενιαυτω της βασιλειας αυτου την κεφαλην ιωακιμ βασιλεως ιουδα και εξηγαγεν αυτον εξ οικου φυλακης αυτου	27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, Evilmerodach, king of Babylon, in the inaugural year of his own reign, raised up Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison.
28 και ελαλησεν μετ' αυτου αγαθα και εδωκεν τον θρονον αυτου επανωθεν των θρονων των βασιλεων των μετ' αυτου εν βαβυλωνι	28 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a throne higher than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 και ηλλοιωσεν τα ιματια της φυλακης αυτου και ησθιεν αρτον δια παντος ενωπιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου	29 Jehoiachin took off his prison garb and ate at the king's table as long as he lived.
30 και η εστιατορια αυτου εστιατορια δια παντος εδοθη αυτω εξ οικου του βασιλεως λογον ημερας εν τη ημερα αυτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου .	30 The allowance granted him by the king was a perpetual allowance, in fixed daily amounts, for as long as he lived.
