Jeremías 39

Riveduta 1927

1Quando Gerusalemme fu presa il nono anno di Sedekia, re di Giuda, il decimo mese, Nebucadnetsar, re di Babilonia venne con tutto il suo esercito contro Gerusalemme e la cinse d’assedio;

2l’undecimo anno di Sedekia, il quarto mese, il nono giorno, una breccia fu fatta nella città

3tutti i capi del re di Babilonia entrarono, e si stabilirono alla porta di mezzo: Nergal-saretser, Samgar-nebu, Sarsekim, capo degli eunuchi, Nergal-saretser, capo dei magi, e tutti gli altri capi del re di Babilonia.

4E quando Sedekia, re di Giuda, e tutta la gente di guerra li ebbero veduti, fuggirono, uscirono di notte dalla città per la via del giardino reale, per la porta fra le due mura, e presero la via della pianura.

5Ma l’esercito de’ Caldei li inseguì, e raggiunse Sedekia nelle campagne di Gerico. Lo presero, lo menaron su da Nebucadnetsar, re di Babilonia, a Ribla, nel paese di Hamath, dove il re pronunziò la sua sentenza su di lui.

6E il re di Babilonia fece scannare i figliuoli di Sedekia, a Ribla, sotto gli occhi di lui; il re di Babilonia fece pure scannare tutti i notabili di Giuda;

7poi fece cavar gli occhi a Sedekia, e lo fe’ legare con una doppia catena di rame per menarlo in Babilonia.

8I Caldei incendiarono la casa del re e le case del popolo, e abbatterono le mura di Gerusalemme;

9e Nebuzaradan, capo delle guardie, menò in cattività a Babilonia il residuo della gente ch’era ancora nella città, quelli ch’erano andati ad arrendersi a lui, e il resto del popolo.

10Ma Nebuzaradan, capo delle guardie, lasciò nel paese di Giuda alcuni de’ più poveri fra il popolo i quali non avevano nulla, e diede loro in quel giorno vigne e campi.

11Or Nebucadnetsar, re di Babilonia, avea dato a Nebuzaradan, capo delle guardie, quest’ordine riguardo a Geremia:

12“Prendilo, veglia su lui, e non gli fare alcun male ma comportati verso di lui com’egli ti dirà”.

13Così Nebuzaradan, capo delle guardie, Nebushazban, capo degli eunuchi, Nergal-saretser, capo de’ magi, e tutti i capi del re di Babilonia

14mandarono a far trarre Geremia fuori dal cortile della prigione, e lo consegnarono a Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahikam, figliuolo di Shafan, perché fosse menato a casa; e così egli abitò fra il popolo.

15Or la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Geremia in questi termini, mentr’egli era rinchiuso nel cortile della prigione:

16“Va’ e parla ad Ebed-melec, l’etiopo digli: Così parla l’Eterno degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Ecco, io sto per adempiere su questa città, per il suo male e non per il suo bene, le parole che ho pronunziate, ed in quel giorno esse si avvereranno in tua presenza.

17Ma in quel giorno io ti libererò, dice l’Eterno; e tu non sarai dato in mano degli uomini che temi;

18poiché, certo, io ti farò scampare, e tu non cadrai per la spada; la tua vita sarà il tuo bottino, giacché hai posto la tua fiducia in me, dice l’Eterno”.

Reina-Valera 1909

1EN el noveno año de Sedechîas rey de Judá, en el mes décimo, vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia con todo su ejército contra Jerusalem, y cercáronla.

2Y en el undécimo año de Sedechîas, en el mes cuarto, á los nueve del mes, fué rota la ciudad;

3Y entraron todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia, y asentaron á la puerta del medio: Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, y Rabsaris, Nergal-sarezer, Rabmag, y todos los demás príncipes del rey de Babilonia.

4Y fué que viéndolos Sedechîas, rey de Judá, y todos los hombres de guerra, huyeron, y saliéronse de noche de la ciudad por el camino de la huerta del rey, por la puerta entre los dos muros: y salió el rey por el camino del desierto.

5Mas el ejército de los Caldeos los siguió, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y tomáronle, é hiciéronle subir á Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, á Ribla, en tierra de Hamath, y sentencióle.

6Y degolló el rey de Babilonia los hijos de Sedechîas á su presencia en Ribla, haciendo asimismo degollar el rey de Babilonia á todos los nobles de Judá.

7Y sacó los ojos al rey Sedechîas, y aprisionóle con grillos para llevarle á Babilonia.

8Y los Caldeos pusieron á fuego la casa del rey y las casas del pueblo, y derribaron los muros de Jerusalem.

9Y el resto del pueblo que había quedado en la ciudad, y los que se habían á él adherido, con todo el resto del pueblo que había quedado, trasportólos á Babilonia Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia.

10Empero Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, hizo quedar en tierra de Judá del vulgo de los pobres que no tenían nada, y dióles entonces viñas y heredades.

11Y Nabucodonosor había ordenado á Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, acerca de Jeremías, diciendo:

12Tómale, y mira por él, y no le hagas mal ninguno; antes harás con él como él te dijere.

13Envió por tanto Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, y Nabusazbán, Rabsaris, y Nergal-sarezer, y Rabmag, y todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia;

14Enviaron entonces, y tomaron á Jeremías del patio de la cárcel, y entregáronlo á Gedalías hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Saphán, para que lo sacase á casa: y vivió entre el pueblo.

15Y había sido palabra de Jehová á Jeremías, estando preso en el patio de la cárcel, diciendo:

16Ve, y habla á Ebed-melec Etiope, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí traigo yo mis palabras sobre esta ciudad para mal, y no para bien; y vendrán á ser en aquel día á presencia tuya.

17Mas en aquel día yo te libraré, dice Jehová, y no serás entregado en mano de aquellos de quienes tú temes.

18Porque ciertamente te libraré, y no caerás á cuchillo, sino que tu vida te será por despojo, porque tuviste confianza en mí, dice Jehová.

King James Version

1In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.

2And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.

3And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

4And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

5But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

6Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.

7Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

8And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

9Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.

10But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,

12Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

13So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;

14Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

15Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

16Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

17But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

18For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

World English Bible

1In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.

2In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.

3All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

4When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.

6Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.

7Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

8The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

9Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.

10But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,

12“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”

13So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon

14sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.

15Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

16“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.

17But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

18For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
