2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it. And they built forts against it round about.
E aconteceu aos nove anos de seu reinado, no mês décimo, aos dez do mês, que Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia veio com todo seu exército contra Jerusalém, e cercou-a; e levantaram contra ela rampas de cerco ao redor.
2 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
E esteve a cidade cercado até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Aos nove do mês prevaleceu a fome na cidade, que não houve pão para o povo da terra.
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about), and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Aberta já a cidade, fugiram de noite todos os homens de guerra pelo caminho da porta que estava entre os dois muros, junto aos jardins do rei, estando os caldeus ao redor da cidade; e o rei se foi caminho da campina.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.
E o exército dos caldeus seguiu o rei, e tomou-o nas planícies de Jericó, e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
6 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And they gave judgment upon him.
Tomado, pois, o rei, trouxeram-no ao rei da Babilônia a Ribla, e proferiram contra ele sentença.
7 And they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
E degolaram aos filhos de Zedequias em sua presença; e a Zedequias tiraram os olhos, e acorrentado com correntes levaram-no à Babilônia.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
No mês quinto, aos sete do mês, sendo o ano dezenove de Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda, servo do rei da Babilônia.
9 And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
E queimou a casa do SENHOR, e a casa do rei, e todas as casas de Jerusalém; e todas as casas dos príncipes queimou a fogo.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
E todo o exército dos caldeus que estava com o capitão da guarda, derrubou os muros de Jerusalém ao redor.
11 And the remnant of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive.
E aos do povo que haviam restado na cidade, e aos que se haviam juntado ao rei da Babilônia, e aos que haviam restado da população, transportou-o Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
Mas dos pobres da terra deixou Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda, para que lavrassem as vinhas e as terras.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
E quebraram os caldeus as colunas de bronze que estavam na casa do SENHOR, e as bases, e o mar de bronze que estava na casa do SENHOR, e levaram o bronze disso à Babilônia.
14 And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
Levaram-se também as caldeiras, e as pás, e as tenazes, e as colheres, e todos os vasos de bronze com que ministravam.
15 And the captain of the guard took away the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
Incensários, bacias, os que de ouro, em ouro, e os que de prata, em prata, tudo o levou o capitão dos da guarda;
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
As duas colunas, um mar, e as bases que Salomão havia feito para a casa do SENHOR: não havia peso de todos estes vasos.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it. And the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass. And the second pillar had like these with network.
A altura da uma coluna era dezoito côvados e tinha encima um capitel de bronze, e a altura do capitel era de três côvados; e sobre o capitel havia um enredado e romãs ao redor, todo de bronze: e semelhante obra havia na outra coluna com o enredado.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.
Tomou então o capitão dos da guarda a Seraías o sacerdote principal, e a Sofonias o segundo sacerdote, e três guardas da porta;
19 And he took an officer out of the city who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
E da cidade tomou um eunuco, o qual comandava os soldados, e cinco homens dos assistentes do rei, que se acharam na cidade; e ao principal escriba do exército, que fazia o registro da gente daquela terra; e sessenta homens do povo da terra,
20 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, tomou-os e os levou a Ribla, ao rei da Babilônia.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
E o rei da Babilônia os feriu e matou em Ribla, em terra de Hamate. Assim foi transportado Judá de sobre sua terra.
22 And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them.
E ao povo que Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia deixou em terra de Judá, pôs por governador a Gedalias, filho de Aicã filho de Safã.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
E ouvindo todos os príncipes do exército, eles e sua gente, que o rei da Babilônia havia posto por governador a Gedalias, vieram-se a ele em Mispá, a saber, Ismael filho de Netanias, e Joanã filho de Careá, e Seraías filho de Tanumete netofatita, e Jazanias filho do maacatita, eles com os seus subordinados.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Então Gedalias lhes fez juramento, a eles e aos seus subordinados, e disse-lhes: Não temais de ser servos dos caldeus; habitai na terra, e servi ao rei da Babilônia, e vos irá bem.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Mas no mês sétimo veio Ismael filho de Netanias, filho de Elisama, da família real, e com ele dez homens, e feriram a Gedalias, e morreu, assim como os judeus e os caldeus que estavam com ele em Mispá.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
E levantando-se todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior, com os capitães do exército, foram-se ao Egito por temor dos caldeus.
27 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
E aconteceu aos trinta e sete anos do cativeiro de Joaquim rei de Judá, no décimo segundo mês, aos vinte e sete do mês, que Evil-Merodaque rei da Babilônia, no primeiro ano de seu reinado, concedeu favor a Joaquim rei de Judá, tirando-o da prisão.
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
E falou-lhe bem, e pôs seu assento em posição de maior honra do que o assento dos reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia.
29 and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life,
E mudou-lhe as roupas de sua prisão, e comeu sempre diante dele todos os dias de sua vida.
30 and for his allowance. There was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
E foi-lhe continuamente dada a sua subsistência diária da parte do rei, por todos os dias de sua vida.
