Porro Chaldæi obsidebant in circuitu civitatem. Fugit itaque Sedecias per viam quæ ducit ad campestria solitudinis.

5And 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:Ma l'esercito de' Caldei inseguì il re, e lo fecer prigioniero nel piano di Gericho; e tutti i soldati, che eran con lui, si dispersero; e lo abbandonarono.And the armie of the Chaldees pursewed the king, and ouertooke him in the plaine of Iericho: and al the warriers, that were with him, were dispersed, and forsooke him.Et persecutus est exercitus Chaldæorum regem, comprehenditque eum in planitie Jericho: et omnes bellatores qui erant cum eo, dispersi sunt, et reliquerunt eum. 6So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.E quelli, preso il re, lo condussero dinanzi al re di Babilonia a Reblatha, dove questi pronunziò sentenza contro di lui.They therfore hauing taken the king, brought him to the king of Babylon into Reblatha, who spake iudgement with him.Apprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha: qui locutus est cum eo judicium. 7And 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.E uccise alla presenza di Sedecia i suoi figliuoli, e a lui fece cavare gli occhi, e lo mise alla catena, e menollo in Babilonia.And he slewe the sonnes of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eies, and bound him with cheynes, and brought him into Babylon.Filios autem Sedeciæ occidit coram eo, et oculos ejus effodit, vinxitque eum catenis, et adduxit in Babylonem. 8In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan, commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.Il mese quinto, ai sette del mese, l'anno diciannovesimo del re di Babilonia, Nabuzardan capitano dell'esercito, e servo del re di Babilonia entrò in Gerusalemme.The fifth moneth, the seuenth day of the moneth, that is, the ninetenth yeare of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the General of the armie, the seruant of the king of Babylon into Ierusalem.Mense quinto, septima die mensis, ipse est annus nonusdecimus regis Babylonis, venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus, servus regis Babylonis, in Jerusalem. 9And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.E mise il fuoco alla casa del Signore, e alla casa reale, e alle case di Gerusalemme; e tutte le fabbriche consumò colle fiamme.And he burnt the house, of our Lord, the kings house, and the houses of Ierusalem, & euerie house he burnt with fyre.Et succendit domum Domini, et domum regis: et domos Jerusalem, omnemque domum combussit igni.
