2 Kings 25
1 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
E succedeu que, no nono anno do seu reinado, no mez decimo, aos dez do mez, Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, veiu contra Jerusalem, elle e todo o seu exercito, e se acampou contra ella, e levantaram contra ella tranqueiras em redor.
2 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
E a cidade foi sitiada até ao undecimo anno do rei Zedekias.
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
Aos nove do mez quarto, quando a cidade se via apertada da fome, nem havia pão para o povo da terra.
4 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
Então a cidade foi arrombada, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram de noite pelo caminho da porta, entre os dois muros que estavam junto ao jardim do rei (porque os chaldeos estavam contra a cidade em redor), e o rei se foi pelo caminho da campina.
5 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
Porém o exercito dos chaldeos perseguiu o rei, e o alcançaram nas campinas de Jericó: e todo o seu exercito se dispersou d'elle.
6 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
E tomaram o rei, e o fizeram subir ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla: e procederam contra elle.
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
E aos filhos de Zedekias degolaram diante dos seus olhos: e vasaram os olhos a Zedekias, e o ataram com duas cadeias de bronze, e o levaram a Babylonia.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
E no quinto mez no setimo dia do mez (este era o anno decimo nono de Nabucodonosor rei de Babylonia), veiu Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, servo do rei de Babylonia, a Jerusalem,
9 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
E queimou a casa do Senhor e a casa do rei, como tambem todas as casas de Jerusalem, e todas as casas dos grandes, queimou.
10 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
E todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derribou os muros em redor de Jerusalem.
11 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
E o mais do povo que deixaram ficar na cidade, e os rebeldes que se renderam ao rei de Babylonia, e o mais da multidão, Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, levou presos.
12 But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Porém dos mais pobres da terra deixou o capitão da guarda ficar alguns para vinheiros e para lavradores.
13 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
Quebraram mais os chaldeos as columnas de cobre que estavam na casa do Senhor, como tambem as bases e o mar de cobre que estavam na casa do Senhor: e levaram o seu bronze para Babylonia.
14 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
Tambem tomaram as caldeiras, e as pás, e os apagadores, e os perfumadores, e todos os vasos de cobre, com que se ministrava.
15 The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
Tambem o capitão da guarda tomou os braseiros, e as bacias, o que era de puro oiro, em oiro e o que era de prata, em prata.
16 As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
As duas columnas, um mar, e as bases, que Salomão fizera para a casa do Senhor: o cobre de todos estes vasos não tinha peso.
17 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
A altura d'uma columna era de dezoito covados, e sobre ella havia um capitel de cobre, e de altura tinha o capitel tres covados; e a rede, e as romãs em roda do capitel, tudo era de cobre; e similhante a esta era a outra columna com a rede.
18 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
Tambem o capitão da guarda tomou a Seraias, primeiro sacerdote, e a Zephanias segundo sacerdote, e aos tres guardas do umbral da porta.
19 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
E da cidade tomou a um eunucho, que tinha cargo da gente de guerra, e a cinco homens dos que viam a face do rei, e se acharam na cidade, como tambem ao escrivão-mór do exercito, que registrava o povo da terra para a guerra, e a sessenta homens do povo da terra, que se acharam na cidade.
20 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
E tomando-os Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, os trouxe ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla.
21 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
E o rei de Babylonia os feriu e os matou em Ribla, na terra de Hamath: e Judah foi levado preso para fóra da sua terra.
22 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
Porém, quanto ao povo que ficava na terra de Judah, e Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, deixou ficar, poz sobre elle por maioral a Gedalias, filho de Ahikam, filho de Saphan.
23 When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
Ouvindo pois os capitães dos exercitos, elles e os seus homens, que o rei de Babylonia puzera a Gedalias por maioral, vieram a Gedalias, a Mispah, a saber: Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e Johanan, filho de Kareath, e Seraias, filho de Tanhumeth, o netophatita, e Jazanias, filho do Maacatita, elles e os seus homens.
24 And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
E Gedalias jurou a elles e aos seus homens, e lhes disse: Não temaes ser servos dos chaldeos: ficae na terra, e servi ao rei de Babylonia, e bem vos irá.
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Succedeu, porém, que, no setimo mez, veiu Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, o filho de Elisama, da semente real, e dez homens com elle, e feriram a Gedalias, e elle morreu, como tambem aos judeos, e aos chaldeos que estavam com elle em Mispah.
26 Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
Então todo o povo se levantou, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior, como tambem os capitães dos exercitos, e vieram ao Egypto, porque temiam os chaldeos.
27 On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
Depois d'isto succedeu que, no anno trinta e sete do captiveiro de Joaquim, rei de Judah, no mez duodecimo, aos vinte e sete do mez, Evil-merodac, rei de Babylonia, levantou, no anno em que reinou, a cabeça de Joaquim, rei de Judah, da casa da prisão.
28 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
E lhe fallou benignamente: e poz o seu throno acima do throno dos reis que estavam com elle em Babylonia.
29 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
E lhe mudou os vestidos da prisão, e de continuo comeu pão na sua presença todos os dias da sua vida.
30 And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
E, quanto á sua subsistencia, pelo rei lhe foi dada subsistencia continua, a porção de cada dia no seu dia, todos os dias da sua vida.
