Jeremiah 52

Commentary from 2 fathers

1

It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.

ΟΝΤΟΣ εἰκοστοῦ καὶ ἑνὸς ἔτους Σεδεκίου ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἕνδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ᾿Αμειτάαλ, θυγάτηρ ῾Ιερεμίου, ἐκ Λοβενά.

Сꙋ́щꙋ два́десѧти и҆ є҆ди́номꙋ лѣ́тꙋ седекі́и, внегда̀ нача̀ ца́рствовати, и҆ ца́рствова во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ є҆динона́десѧть лѣ́тъ: и҆ и҆́мѧ ма́тери є҆гѡ̀ а҆мїта́ль, дщѝ і҆еремі́ина, ѿ ловны̀.

4

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, ἐν μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἦλθε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ περιεχαράκωσαν αὐτὴν καὶ περιῳκοδόμησαν αὐτὴν τετραπέδοις λίθοις κύκλῳ.

И҆ бы́сть въ девѧ́тое лѣ́то ца́рства є҆гѡ̀, въ десѧ́тый мцⷭ҇ъ, въ десѧ́тый де́нь мцⷭ҇а, прїи́де навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй и҆ всѧ̀ си́ла є҆гѡ̀ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆блего́ша є҆го̀ и҆ сотвори́ша ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆стро́гъ ѿ четвероꙋго́льныхъ ка́менїй.

5

So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,

καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ πόλις εἰς συνοχὴν ἕως ἑνδεκάτου ἔτους τῷ βασιλεῖ Σεδεκίᾳ·

И҆ бы́сть во ѡ҆блеже́нїи гра́дъ да́же до первагѡна́десѧте лѣ́та ца́рства седекі́ина.

6

on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

ἐν τῇ ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς καὶ ἐστερεώθη ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν ἄρτοι τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς.

Мцⷭ҇а же четве́ртагѡ въ девѧ́тый де́нь, ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ гла́дъ во гра́дѣ, и҆ не бѧ́ше хлѣ́ба лю́демъ землѝ.

7

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king’s garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.

καὶ διεκόπη ἡ πόλις, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἐξῆλθον νυκτὸς κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης ἀναμέσον τοῦ τείχους καὶ τοῦ προτειχίσματος, ὃ ἦν κατὰ τὸν κῆπον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οἱ Χαλδαῖοι ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως κύκλῳ. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς ῎Αραβα,

И҆ просѣко́ша гра́дъ, и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе во́инстїи и҆зыдо́ша но́щїю пꙋте́мъ вра́тъ, и҆́же є҆́сть междꙋ̀ двѣма̀ стѣна́ма, и҆́же бѧ́ше прѧ́мѡ вертогра́дꙋ царе́вꙋ, халде́є же добыва́хꙋ гра́дъ ѡ҆́крестъ лежа́ще, и҆ ѿидо́ша пꙋте́мъ въ пꙋсты́ню.

8

But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.

καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κατέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ πέραν ῾Ιεριχώ, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ διεσπάρησαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.

И҆ погна̀ си́ла халде́йска в̾слѣ́дъ царѧ̀ и҆ пости́же є҆го̀ ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ і҆ерїхѡ́на, и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ разсы́пашасѧ ѿ негѡ̀.

9

And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.

καὶ συνέλαβον τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Δεβλαθά, καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ μετὰ κρίσεως.

И҆ ꙗ҆́ша царѧ̀ и҆ приведо́ша и҆̀ ко царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскомꙋ въ девла́ѳъ, и҆́же є҆́сть въ землѝ є҆ма́ѳъ, и҆ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ съ сꙋдо́мъ.

10

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he slew all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.

καὶ ἔσφαξε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος τοὺς υἱοὺς Σεδεκίου κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας ᾿Ιούδα ἔσφαξεν ἐν Δεβλαθά.

И҆ и҆зсѣчѐ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй сы́ны седекі̑ины пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀, и҆ всѧ̑ кнѧ̑зи і҆ꙋ̑дины и҆зсѣчѐ въ девла́ѳѣ.

11

And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.

καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς Σεδεκίου ἐξετύφλωσε καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν πέδαις, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν μύλωνος ἕως ἡμέρας ἧς ἀπέθανε.

Ѻ҆́чи же седекі́и и҆з̾ѧ́тъ, и҆ свѧза̀ є҆го̀ ѡ҆ко́вами, и҆ приведѐ є҆го̀ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй въ вавѷлѡ́нъ и҆ вдадѐ є҆го̀ въ до́мъ жерно́вный до днѐ, во́ньже ᲂу҆́мре.

12

And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;

καὶ ἐν μηνὶ πέμπτῳ, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἦλθε Ναβουζαρδὰν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος ὁ ἑστηκὼς κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ,

Въ десѧ́тый же де́нь пѧ́тагѡ мцⷭ҇а (꙳лѣ́то сїѐ девѧтоена́десѧть навꙋходоно́сорꙋ царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскꙋ) прїи́де навꙋзарда́нъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ, стоѧ́щь пред̾ лице́мъ царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нска, во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ,

13

and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire.

καὶ ἐνέπρησε τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάσας τὰς οἰκίας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ πᾶσαν οἰκίαν μεγάλην ἐνέπρησεν ἐν πυρί.

и҆ сожжѐ хра́мъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ до́мъ царе́въ, и҆ всѧ̑ до́мы гра̑дскїѧ и҆ всѧ́къ до́мъ вели́къ сожжѐ ѻ҆гне́мъ,

14

And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.

καὶ πᾶν τεῖχος ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κύκλῳ καθεῖλεν ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων, ἡ μετὰ τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου.

и҆ всѧ́кꙋ стѣ́нꙋ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млю ѡ҆́крестъ разорѝ си́ла халде́йска, ꙗ҆́же бѧ́ше со а҆рхїмагі́ромъ.

16

But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ κατέλιπεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος εἰς ἀμπελουργοὺς καὶ εἰς γεωργούς.

про́чїихъ же ѡ҆ста́ви люді́й ᲂу҆бо́гихъ въ дѣ́латєли вїногра́да и҆ земледѣ́льцєвъ.

17

And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon.

καὶ τοὺς στύλους τοὺς χαλκοῦς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τὰς βάσεις καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν τὴν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου συνέτριψαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν χαλκὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

Столпы́ же мѣ̑дѧныѧ, и҆̀же во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ подста̑вы, и҆ мо́ре мѣ́дѧное, є҆́же во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни, сокрꙋши́ша халде́є, и҆ взѧ́ша мѣ́дь и҆́хъ, и҆ ѿнесо́ша въ вавѷлѡ́нъ:

18

Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh-hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;

καὶ τὴν στεφάνην καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ, ἐν οἷς ἐλειτούργουν ἐν αὐτοῖς,

и҆ вѣне́цъ и҆ ча́шы, и҆ ви̑лицы и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды мѣ̑дѧныѧ, въ ни́хже слꙋжа́хꙋ,

19

and the basons, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.

καὶ τὰ σαφφὼθ καὶ τὰ μασμαρὼθ καὶ τοὺς ὑποχυτῆρας καὶ τὰς λυχνίας καὶ τὰς θυΐσκας καὶ τοὺς κυάθους, ἃ ἦν χρυσᾶ χρυσᾶ καὶ ἃ ἦν ἀργυρᾶ ἀργυρᾶ, ἔλαβεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος.

и҆ ѳѷмїа́мники и҆ ча́шы, и҆ ᲂу҆мыва̑льницы и҆ свѣ́щники, и҆ кади̑льницы и҆ ча̑шицы, ꙗ҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ злата̑ѧ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ срє́брѧнаѧ, взѧ̀ а҆рхїмагі́ръ.

20

And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight.

καὶ οἱ στῦλοι δύο καὶ ἡ θάλασσα μία καὶ οἱ μόσχοι δώδεκα χαλκοῖ ὑποκάτω τῆς θαλάσσης, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ αὐτῶν.

И҆ стѡлпа̀ два̀ и҆ мо́ре є҆ди́но, и҆ тельцє́въ двана́десѧть мѣ́дѧныхъ под̾ мо́ремъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни, не бѣ̀ вѣ́са мѣ́ди сосꙋ̑дъ тѣ́хъ.

21

And as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.

καὶ οἱ στῦλοι, τριακονταπέντε πηχῶν· ὕψος τοῦ στύλου τοῦ ἑνός, καὶ σπαρτίον δώδεκα πήχεων περιεκύκλου αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτοῦ δακτύλων τεσσάρων κύκλῳ,

Сто́лпъ же кі́йждо ѻ҆смина́десѧти лакте́й бѣ̀ въ высотꙋ̀, ве́рвь же двана́десѧти лакте́й ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆бдержа́ше, и҆ толстота̀ є҆гѡ̀ четы́рехъ пє́рстъ ѡ҆́крестъ,

22

And [there was] a brazen chapter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.

καὶ γεῖσος ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς χαλκοῦν, καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ μῆκος ὑπεροχὴ τοῦ γείσους τοῦ ἑνός, καὶ δίκτυον καὶ ῥόαι ἐπὶ τοῦ γείσους κύκλῳ, τὰ πάντα χαλκᾶ· καὶ κατὰ ταῦτα τῷ στύλῳ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ὀκτὼ ρόαι τῷ πήχει τοῖς δώδεκα πήχεσι.

и҆ глава̀ на ни́хъ мѣ́дѧна, пѧ́ть лакѡ́тъ высота̀ главы̀ є҆ди́ныѧ, и҆ мре́жа, и҆ ши́пки на вѣнцѣ̀ ѡ҆́крестъ, всѐ бѧ́ше мѣ́дѧно: та́кожде бы́сть и҆ вторы́й сто́лпъ.

23

And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred.

καὶ ἦσαν αἱ ρόαι ἐνενηκονταὲξ τὸ ἓν μέρος, καὶ ἦσαν αἱ πᾶσαι ρόαι ἑκατὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ δικτύου κύκλῳ.

И҆ бѧ́ше ши́пкѡвъ де́вѧтьдесѧтъ и҆ ше́сть є҆ди́на страна̀, и҆ бѧ́ше всѣ́хъ ши́пкѡвъ над̾ мре́жею ѡ҆́крестъ сто̀.

24

And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;

καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος τὸν ἱερέα τὸν πρῶτον καὶ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν δευτεροῦντα καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς τοὺς φυλάττοντας τὴν ὁδὸν

И҆ взѧ̀ а҆рхїмагі́ръ саре́а жерца̀ старѣ́йшаго и҆ жерца̀ софо́нїю втора́го и҆ трїе́хъ стрегꙋ́щихъ пꙋ́ть.

25

and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king’s presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

καὶ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα, ὃς ἦν ἐπιστάτης τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν, καὶ ἑπτὰ ἄνδρας ὀνομαστοὺς τοὺς ἐν προσώπῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ τὸν γραμματέα τῶν δυνάμεων, τὸν γραμματεύοντα τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἀνθρώπους ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς, τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν μέσῳ τῆς πόλεως·

И҆ ѿ гра́да взѧ̀ ка́женика є҆ди́наго, и҆́же бѣ̀ приста́вникъ люді́й во́инскихъ, и҆ се́дмь мꙋже́й наро́читыхъ, и҆̀же пред̾ лице́мъ царе́вымъ ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ во гра́дѣ, и҆ книго́чїѧ си́лъ ᲂу҆ча́щаго люді́й землѝ, и҆ шестьдесѧ́тъ мꙋже́й ѿ люді́й землѝ, и҆̀же ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ средѣ̀ гра́да:

26

And Nabuzardan the captain of the king’s guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.

καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς Ναβουζαρδὰν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Δεβλαθά,

и҆ взѧ̀ и҆̀хъ навꙋзарда́нъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ и҆ приведѐ ѧ҆̀ ко царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскꙋ въ девла́ѳъ.

27

And the king of Babylon smote them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.

καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν Δεβλαθά, ἐν γῇ Αἰμάθ.

И҆ и҆збѝ ѧ҆̀ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй въ девла́ѳѣ въ землѝ є҆ма́ѳъ: и҆ преселе́нъ бы́сть і҆ꙋ́да ѿ землѝ своеѧ̀.

31

And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemaradach king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ ἔτει, ἀποικισθέντος τοῦ ᾿Ιωακεὶμ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνί, ἐν τῇ τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἔλαβεν Οὐλαιμαραδὰχ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ, ᾧ ἐβασίλευσε, τὴν κεφαλὴν ᾿Ιωακεὶμ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἐξ οἰκίας, ἧς ἐφυλάσσετο·

И҆ бы́сть въ три́десѧть седмо́е лѣ́то преселе́нїѧ і҆ѡакі́ма царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, въ два́десѧть пѧ́тый де́нь мцⷭ҇а вторагѡна́десѧть, вознесѐ є҆вилмерода́хъ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй въ пе́рвое лѣ́то ца́рства своегѡ̀ главꙋ̀ і҆ѡакі́ма царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, и҆ и҆зведѐ є҆го̀ и҆з̾ хра́ма, въ не́мже стрежа́шесѧ, и҆ глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ блага̑ѧ:

32

and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon,

καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ χρηστὰ καὶ ἔδωκε τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἐπάνω τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι·

и҆ дадѐ престо́лъ є҆гѡ̀ вы́ше царе́й, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, въ вавѷлѡ́нѣ,

33

and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.

καὶ ἤλλαξε τὴν στολὴν τῆς φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤσθιεν ἄρτον διὰ παντὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ἔζησε.

и҆ и҆змѣнѝ ри̑зы є҆гѡ̀ темни̑чныѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆дѧ́ше хлѣ́бъ всегда̀ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑ живота̀ своегѡ̀:

34

And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.

καὶ ἡ σύνταξις αὐτῷ ἐδίδοτο διὰ παντὸς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐξ ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν ἕως ἡμέρας, ἧς ἀπέθανεν.

и҆ ᲂу҆ро́къ є҆мꙋ̀ даѧ́шесѧ всегда̀ ѿ царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нска, да́же до днѐ, во́ньже ᲂу҆́мре, во всѧ̑ дни̑ живота̀ є҆гѡ̀.
