Jeremiah 52 — Novel English Bible

1 Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah) was isharayam (twenty) - achad (one) shanah (years) ban (son) when he began to malak (king); and he malak (king) achad (one) shanah (years) in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem): and his am (mother) sham (name) was Chamawatal (Hamutal) the banath (daughter) of Yaramayah (Jeremiah) of Labanah (Libnah).

2 He ishah (make) that which was rai (evil) in the iyan (eye) of Yahawah (), according to all that Yahawayaqayam (Jehoiakim) ishah (make) done.

3 For il (over) the ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Yahawah () it happened in Yarawashalam (Jerusalem) and Yahawadah (Judah), until he had shalak (cast) them out from his panayam (face). Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah) marad (rebelled) against the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon).

4 It happened in the thashayaiy (ninth) shanah (year) of his malak (king), in the ishayaray (tenth) chadash (month), in the ishawar (tenth) day of the chadash (month), that Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) bawaa (bring), he and all his chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor), against Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), and chanah (encamped) against it; and they banah (build) dayaq (forts) against it sabayab (surrounding) about.

5 So the iyar (city) was matzawar (besieged) to the ishathay (eleven) shanah (year) of malak (king) Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah).

6 In the rabayaiy (fourth) chadash (month), in the thashai (nine) day of the chadash (month), the raib (famine) was severe in the iyar (city), so that there was no lacham (bread) for the im (nation / people) of the aratz (Earth/land).

7 Then a baqai (breach) was made in the iyar (city), and all the anashay (men) of malachamah (war) barach (fled), and yatzaa (go out / come out) forth out of the iyar (city) by layal (night) by the darak (way) of the shair (gate) between the two chamathayam (walls), which was by the malak (king) gan (garden); (now the Kashaday (Chaldeans) were against the iyar (city) all around;) and they yalak (went) toward the irabah (arabah).

8 But the chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) of the Kashaday (Chaldeans) radap (pursued) achar (other) the malak (king), and overtook Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah) in the irabath (plains) of Yarayachaw (Jericho); and all his chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) was pawatz (scattered) from him.

9 Then they thapash (took) the malak (king), and ilah (go up / offer) him up to the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) to Rabalah (Riblah) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Chamath (Hamath); and he dabar (word / matter) mashapat (judgment) on him.

10 The malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) shachat (killed) the banay (my son) of Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah) before his iyan (eye): he shachat (killed) also all the sharay (princes) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) in Rabalah (Riblah).

11 He iwar (put) out the iyanay (eyes) of Tzadaqayah (Zedekiah); and the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) asar (bound) him in nachashathayam (fetters), and bawaa (bring) him to Babal (Babylon), and nathan (give) him in bayath (house) until the yawam (day) of his mawath (death).

12 Now in the chamayashay (fifth) chadash (month), in the ishawar (tenth) day of the chadash (month), which was the nineteenth shanah (year) of malak (king) Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar), malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), bawaa (bring) Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard), who stood before the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), into Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem):

13 And he sharap (burned) the bayath (house) of Yahawah (), and the malak (king) bayath (house); and all the bathay (houses) of Yarawashalam (Jerusalem), even every gadawal (very great/important/mighty) bayath (house), sharap (burned) he with ash (fire).

14 All the chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) of the Kashaday (Chaldeans), who were with the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard), nathatz (broke) down all the chamawath (walls) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) all around.

15 Then Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) galah (carried) away captive of the poorest of the im (nation / people), and the yathar (residue) of the im (nation / people) who were shaar (left) in the iyar (city), and those who napal (fall / be cast down) away, who napal (fall / be cast down) to the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), and the yathar (residue) of the amawan (multitude).

16 But Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) shaar (left) of the poorest of the aratz (Earth/land) to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

17 The Kashaday (Chaldeans) shabar (broke) the imawaday (pillars) of nachashath (brass) that were in the bayath (house) of Yahawah (), and the makanawath (bases) and the bronze yam (sea/waters) that were in the bayath (house) of Yahawah () in pieces, and nashaa (lift) all the of their nachashath (brass) to Babal (Babylon).

18 They also laqach (take / seize) away the sarawath (pots), the yaiyam (shovels), the mazamarawath (snuffers), the basins, the kapawath (spoons), and all the kalay (vessels) of nachashath (brass) with which they sharath (ministered).

19 The rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) laqach (take / seize) laqach (take / seize) the cups, the machathah (fire) pans, the basins, the sayarawath (pots), the lampstands, the kapawath (spoons), and the manaqayawath (bowls); that which was of zahab (gold), in zahab (gold), and that which was of kasap (silver), in kasap (silver).

20 They took the shanayam (two) imawadayam (pillars), the achad (one) yam (sea/waters), and the shanayam (two) bronze baqar (morning) that were under the makanawath (bases), which malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon) ishah (make) made for the bayath (house) of Yahawah (). The nachashath (brass) of all these kalayam (vessels) was without mashaqal (weight).

21 As for the imawadayam (pillars), the qawamah (height) of the achad (one) imawad (pillar) was eighteen amah (cubits); and a chawat (line) of shanayam (two) amah (cubits) encircled it; and its ibay (thickness) was arabai (four) atzabaiwath (fingers). It was nabab (hollow).

22 A capital of nachashath (brass) was on it; and the qawamah (height) of the achad (one) capital was chamash (five) amawath (cubits), with shabakah (network) and ramawanayam (pomegranates) on the capital all around, all of nachashath (brass): and the shanay (second) imawad (pillar) also had like these, and ramawanayam (pomegranates).

23 There were thashaiyam (ninety) - shash (six) ramanayam (pomegranates) on the rawach (spirit / wind); all the ramanayam (pomegranates) were one maah (hundred) on the shabakah (network) all around.

24 The rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) laqach (take / seize) Sharayah (Seraiah) the raash (head) kahan (priest), and Tzapanayah (Zephaniah) the mashanah (second) kahan (priest), and the shalawash (three) keepers of the sap (threshold):

25 And out of the iyar (city) he laqach (take / seize) an sarayas (officer) who paqayad (was) set over the achad (one) of malachamah (war); and shabai (seven) achad (one) of those who raah (see / saw) the malak (king) panayam (face), who were matzaa (found) in the iyar (city); and the sapar (book) of the shar (prince / ruler) of the tzabaa (troop), who tzabaa (troop) the im (nation / people) of the aratz (Earth/land); and shashayam (sixty) anashay (men) of the im (nation / people) of the aratz (Earth/land), who were matzaa (found) in the thawak (midst) of the iyar (city).

26 Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) laqach (take / seize) them, and yalak (brought) them to the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) to Rabalah (Riblah).

27 The malak (king) of Babal (Babylon) nakah (struck) them, and put them to mawath (death) at Rabalah (Riblah) in the adamah (land) of Chamath (Hamath). So Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) was galah (carried) away captive out of his aratz (Earth/land).

28 This is the im (nation / people) whom Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) galah (carried) away captive: in the shabai (seven) shanah (year) shalawash (three) alap (thousand) isharayam (twenty) - shalawash (three) Yahawaday (Jews);

29 In the eighteenth shanah (year) of Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) he carried away captive from Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) shamanah (eight) maah (hundred) shalawashayam (thirty) - shanayam (two) napash (soul);

30 In the shalawash (three) and isharayam (twenty) shanah (year) of Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) galah (carried) away captive of the Yahawaday (Jews) shabai (seven) maah (hundred) arabaiyam (forty) - chamash (five) napash (soul): all the napash (soul) were arabai (four) alap (thousand) and shash (six) maah (hundred).

31 It happened in the shabai (seven) and shalawashayam (thirty) shanah (year) of the galawath (captivity) of Yahawayakayan (Jehoiachin) malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), in the shanayam (two) chadash (month), in the chamash (five) and isharayam (twenty) day of the chadash (month), that awayalamaradak (evilmerodach) malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), in the first shanah (year) of his malakawath (reign), nashaa (lift) up the raash (head) of Yahawayakayan (Jehoiachin) malak (king) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), and yatzaa (go out / come out) him forth out of bayath (house);

32 And he dabar (word / matter) tawab (good / proper function) to him, and nathan (give) his kasaa (throne) mail (top/above) the kasaa (throne) of the malakayam (kings) who were with him in Babal (Babylon),

33 And shanah (changed) his kalaa (prison) bagaday (garments). Yahawayakayan (Jehoiachin) akal (eat) lacham (bread) panayam (face) him continually all the yamay (days) of his chay (life):

34 And for his arachah (allowance), there was a thamayad (continual) arachah (allowance) nathan (give) him by the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), every yawam (day) a dabar (word / matter) until the yawam (day) of his mawath (death), all the yamay (days) of his chay (life).
