Jeremiah 52:1
简体中文
英語原文
Jeremiah 52 is an historical appendix to the Book of Jeremiah, giving details of the capture of Babylon additional to those contained in Jeremiah 39:The last words of the foregoing chapter affirm that Jeremiah was not the author, and the view adopted by most commentators is, that this chapter is taken from the 2nd Book of Kings, but that the person who added it here had access to other valuable documents, and made several modifications in it, the principal being the substituation of the account of those led captive by Nebuchadnezzar Jeremiah 52:28-30, for the narrative given in 2 Kings 25:22-26, where see the notes.

Jeremiah 52:3
简体中文
「这事」 - 即西底家的恶行。
「面前，西底家」 - 或改标点作：「面前。此后，西底家」等等。
英語原文
It - i. e., Zedekiah's evil doing.
Presence, that Zedekiah - Or, punctuate; "presence. And Zedekiah" etc.
7
Jeremiah 52:7
简体中文
「往平原去……」 - 或作「往亚拉巴去……」（Deuteronomy 1:1）。
英語原文
Broken up ... the plain - Or, "broken into ... the Arabah" Deuteronomy 1:1.
11
Jeremiah 52:11
简体中文
「把他囚在监里……」 - 这一点不见于列王纪，因为在同时代的史书中，人所知道的只会是西底家在利比拉的遭遇。这无疑是插入被掳巴比伦记事的同一位作者所增补的。
英語原文
Put him in prison ... - Not found in 2 Kings, for in the contemporaneous history what befell Zedekiah at Riblah would alone be known. It was no doubt added by the same hand which inserted the account of the deportations to Babylon.
12
Jeremiah 52:12
简体中文
「事奉」 - 这个词含有高位的意味。
英語原文
Served - The word implies high office.
13
Jeremiah 52:13
简体中文
「大人物的房屋」 - 更宜译作「每所大房屋」，即仅指较大的房屋。
英語原文
Houses of the great - Rather, every great house; i. e., the larger houses only.
15
Jeremiah 52:15
简体中文
「民中最穷的一些人，和」 - 应予省略（如 2 Kings 25:11），此语是因与 Jeremiah 52:16 混淆而插入的。
「大众」 - 可能指工匠。尼布甲尼撒的目的，是要使巴比伦住满人，但所住的并非穷人，而是较上等阶层的人，即能使巴比伦富庶起来的工匠与工人。
英語原文
Certain of the poor of the people, and - Omit (as in 2 Kings 25:11), being inserted through some confusion with Jeremiah 52:16.
Multitude - Possibly workmen. The object of Nebuchadnezzar was to people Babylon, not with paupers, but with men of a better class, artisans and workmen, who would enrich it.
16
Jeremiah 52:16
简体中文
「农夫」 - 指用锄头耕种小块田地的人。
英語原文
Husbandmen - Men who tilled little plots of ground with the mattock.
20
Jeremiah 52:20
简体中文
「十二只铜牛在……以下」 - 列王纪下及 Jeremiah 27:19 均无此语。这省略可能是对的，因为此处说牛在座以下乃是一个错误：座乃在十个盆以下。七十士译本译作“铜海以下的十二只铜牛”，使文意通顺。
英語原文
twelve brasen bulls that were under - Omitted in 2 Kings nd in Jeremiah 27:19. Probably rightly, for what is said here of their being under the bases is a mistake. The bases were under the ten lavers. The Septuagint makes sense by translating it: "the twelve brasen bulls under the sea."
21
Jeremiah 52:21
简体中文
“线”指量度的准绳；柱子周围十二肘，即十八英尺，因此直径约为五英尺九英寸。铜厚四指，即不足四英寸，故空心中心的直径当在五英尺以上。
英語原文
The fillet means a measuring line; the pillars were 12 cubits, i. e., 18 feet, in circumference, and thus the diameter would be 5 feet 9 inches. As the brass was four fingers, i. e., scarcely four inches thick, the hollow center would be more than five feet in diameter.
23
Jeremiah 52:23
简体中文
「每边」——那九十六个朝着四方：向北二十四个，向东二十四个，其余方向亦然。每个角上再加一个，合计便是一百。
英語原文
On a side - The 96 were toward the four winds, 24 toward the north, 24 toward the east, and so on. Add one at each corner, and the whole 100 is made up.
25
Jeremiah 52:25
简体中文
「太监……兵丁」——或译作「统管兵丁的」。英王钦定本把他当作总司令；其实他是次一级的指挥官，即副将，而且可能是众多同级军官中的一位。
英語原文
An eunuch ... men of war - Or, who had charge of men of war. The King James Version makes him commander-in-chief; he was second in command, i. e., a lieutenant, possibly one among many others of equal rank.
28
Jeremiah 52:28
简体中文
「第七年」——如今一般接受的见解是：「七」字前面脱落了「十」字，此处所记的被掳迁徙都与对抗西底家的最后战争相关。这里对尼布甲尼撒在位年数的计算方式与别处不同，表明作者掌握着列王纪编者所未见的一份文献。各个年代均有一年之差。七十士译本略去了Jeremiah 52:28-30。
被掳走的人数，与Ezra 2:64-65所记归回的42,360名男子相比并不算多，这表明巴比伦留有大量的犹太人口。然而犹太地的人口在不断外流；与约雅斤一同被掳走的一万人构成了核心与中枢，并为整体定下了基调（见2 Kings 24:14）。当他们在巴比伦开始兴盛时，必有许多人自愿移居那里。
将本章与2 Kings的平行部分比较可以看出：尽管不乏文士的笔误与抄写者的错误，正文本身却极为可靠。两文本之间的许多差异，是列王纪编者刻意作出的缩略；另一些则是疏忽所致。总体而言，列王纪的文本逊于耶利米书附录的文本。然而，倘若记住二者未必是同一文本的两份抄本，而是两位不同作者各自独立使用同一原始资料的结果，那么除了琐屑之处与易于更正的错误之外，两文本完全一致，这就令人满意地证明：在一切较重要的细节上，马所拉文本总体是可信的。
英語原文
Seventh year - The suggestion is now generally received, that the word ten has dropped out before seven, and that the deportations mentioned here are all connected with the final war against Zedekiah. The calculation of Nebuchadnezzars reign is different from that used elsewhere, showing that the writer had access to a document not known to the compiler of the Book of Kings. In each date there is a difference of one year. The Septuagint omits Jeremiah 52:28-30.
The number of the exiles carried away is small compared with the 42,360 men who returned Ezra 2:64-65, leaving a large Jewish population behind at Babylon. But a continual drain of people from Judaea was going on, and the 10,000 carried away with Jehoiachin formed the nucleus and center, and gave tone to the whole (see 2 Kings 24:14). When they began to thrive in Babylon, large numbers would emigrate there of their own accord.
A comparison of this chapter with the parallel portion of 2 Kings hows that though not free from clerical errors and mistakes of copyists the body of the text is remarkably sound. Many of the differences between the two texts are abbreviations made purposely by the compiler of the Book of Kings; others are the result of negligence; and upon the whole the text of the Book of Kings is inferior to that of the Appendix to the Book of Jeremiah. Bearing in mind, however, that possibly they are not two transcripts of the same text, but the result of an independent use by two different writers of the same original authority, their complete agreement, except in trivial matters and mistakes easy of correction, is a satisfactory proof of the general trust-worthiness of the Masoretic Text in all more important particulars.
耶利米书 52 章是耶利米书的历史附录，补充了 Jeremiah 39 章所载之外关于耶路撒冷被攻取的细节。上一章末尾的话表明耶利米并非本章作者；多数学者所采纳的看法是：本章取自列王纪下，但将其添录于此的人得以参阅其他宝贵文献，并对其作了若干改动，其中最主要的一项，是以尼布甲尼撒掳走人口的记载（Jeremiah 52:28-30）取代了 2 Kings 25:22-26 的叙述，该处注释见彼处。
