Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
Era Sedequías de edad de veintiún años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Hamutal, hija de Jeremías, de Libna.
2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
E hizo lo malo en los ojos del SEÑOR, conforme a todo lo que hizo Joacim.
3 And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
Porque a causa de la ira del SEÑOR contra Jerusalén y Judá, hasta echarlos de su presencia, Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
4 And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
Aconteció por tanto a los nueve años de su reinado, en el mes décimo, a los diez días del mes, que vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, él y todo su ejército, contra Jerusalén, y asentaron sobre ella campo, y de todas partes edificaron sobre ella baluartes en todas partes.
5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Y estuvo cercada la ciudad hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedequías.
6 Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.
En el mes cuarto, a los nueve del mes, prevaleció el hambre en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para el pueblo de la tierra.
7 And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.
Y fue entrada la ciudad, y todos los hombres de guerra huyeron, y se salieron de la ciudad de noche por el camino del postigo que está entre los dos muros, que estaban cerca del jardín del rey, y se fueron por el camino del desierto, estando aún los caldeos junto a la ciudad alrededor.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.
Y el ejército de los caldeos siguió al rey, y prendieron a Sedequías en los llanos de Jericó; y se esparció de él todo su ejército.
9 And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.
Prendieron pues, al rey, y le hicieron venir al rey de Babilonia, a Ribla en tierra de Hamat, y pronunció contra él sentencia.
10 And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
Y degolló el rey de Babilonia a los hijos de Sedequías delante de sus ojos, y también degolló a todos los príncipes de Judá en Ribla.
11 And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.
Pero a Sedequías le sacó los ojos, y le puso en grillos, y el rey de Babilonia lo hizo llevar a Babilonia; y lo puso en la casa de la cárcel hasta el día en que murió.
12 Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
Y en el mes quinto, a los diez del mes, que era el año diecinueve del reinado de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino a Jerusalén Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, que solía estar delante del rey de Babilonia.
13 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
Y encendió a fuego la Casa del SEÑOR, y la casa del rey, y todas las casas de Jerusalén; y toda casa grande quemó con fuego.
14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
Y todo el ejército de los caldeos, que venía con el capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros de Jerusalén en derredor.
15 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
E hizo transportar Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, a los pobres del pueblo, y a toda la otra gente vulgar que en la ciudad habían quedado, y a los fugitivos que habían huido al rey de Babilonia, y a todo el resto de la multitud vulgar.
16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
Mas de los pobres del país dejó Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, para viñadores y labradores.
17 The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.
Y los caldeos quebraron las columnas de bronce que estaban en la Casa del SEÑOR, y las basas, y el mar de bronce que estaba en la Casa del SEÑOR, y llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.
18 And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
Se llevaron también los calderos, y los badiles, y los salterios, y las bacines, y los cucharros, y todos los vasos de bronce con que se servían.
19 And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,
Y las copas, e incensarios, y bacines, y ollas, y candeleros, y escudillas, y tazas; lo que de oro de oro, y lo que de plata de plata, llevó el capitán de la guardia.
20 as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.
Dos columnas, un mar, y doce bueyes de bronce que estaban debajo de las basas, que hizo el rey Salomón en la Casa del SEÑOR; no se podía pesar el bronce de todos estos vasos.
21 Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
En cuanto a las columnas, la altura de una columna era de dieciocho codos, y un hilo de doce codos la rodeaba; y su grueso era de cuatro dedos, de vaciadizo.
22 And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.
Y el capitel de bronce que estaba sobre ella, era de altura de cinco codos, con una red y granadas en el capitel alrededor, todo de bronce; y lo mismo era lo de la segunda columna con sus granadas.
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
Había noventa y seis granadas en cada orden; todas ellas eran cien sobre la red alrededor.
24 And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
Tomó también el capitán de la guardia a Seraías principal sacerdote, y a Sofonías segundo sacerdote, y tres guardas de la puerta.
25 He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
Y de la ciudad tomó un eunuco que era capitán sobre los hombres de guerra, y siete hombres de los continuos del rey, que se hallaron en la ciudad; y al principal escribano de la guerra, que ponía por lista el pueblo de la tierra para la guerra; y sesenta hombres del vulgo de la tierra, que se hallaron dentro de la ciudad.
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Los tomó Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, y los llevó al rey de Babilonia a Ribla.
27 And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
Y el rey de Babilonia los hirió, y los mató en Ribla en tierra de Hamat; y Judá fue transportado de su tierra.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
Este es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor hizo transportar: En el año séptimo, tres mil veintitrés judíos:
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
En el año dieciocho hizo Nabucodonosor, transportar de Jerusalén ochocientas treinta y dos personas.
30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
El año veintitrés de Nabucodonosor, transportó Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, setecientas cuarenta y cinco personas de los judíos; todas las personas son cuatro mil seiscientas.
31 And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
Y acaeció que en el año treinta y siete de la cautividad de Joaquín rey de Judá, en el mes duodécimo, a los veinticinco del mes, Evil-merodac, rey de Babilonia, en el año primero de su reinado, alzó la cabeza de Joaquín rey de Judá y lo sacó de la casa de la cárcel;
32 And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
y habló con él amigablemente, e hizo poner su silla sobre las sillas de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.
33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
Y le hizo mudar las ropas de su cárcel, y comía pan delante de él siempre todos los días de su vida.
34 And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Y continuamente se le daba ración por el rey de Babilonia, cada cosa en su día por todos los de su vida, hasta el día que murió.
