Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Sedequías tenía 21 años de edad cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Hamutal, hija de Jeremías de Libna.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Yavé, tal como hizo Joacim,
3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
porque a causa de la ira de Yavé sucedió eso en Jerusalén y Judá, hasta que los echó de su Presencia. Pero Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
En el noveno año de su reinado, el mes décimo, a los diez días del mes, Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, llegó con todo su ejército contra Jerusalén. Acampó contra ella y levantaron torres de asedio alrededor.
5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
La ciudad estuvo sitiada hasta el año 11 del rey Sedequías.
6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
El mes cuarto, a los nueve días del mes, el hambre era aguda en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para la población.
7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the plain.
Entonces, mientras los caldeos rodeaban la ciudad, se abrió una brecha en la ciudad. Los guerreros huyeron de noche por la puerta [ubicada] entre los dos muros, junto a los jardines reales, y salieron rumbo al Arabá.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Pero el ejército caldeo persiguió al rey. Alcanzaron a Sedequías en los llanos de Jericó, mientras todo su ejército, ya disperso, lo abandonaba.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment on him.
Detuvieron al rey, y se lo llevaron al rey de Babilonia, quien estaba en Ribla, en tierra de Hamat, donde pronunció sentencia contra él.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
El rey de Babilonia degolló a los hijos de Sedequías ante sus propios ojos. También degolló a todos los magistrados de Judá en Ribla.
11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
El rey de Babilonia le sacó los ojos a Sedequías y le puso grillos. Mandó llevarlo a Babilonia y lo metió en la cárcel hasta el día cuando murió.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
El mes quinto, a los diez días del mes, año 19 del reinado de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, llegó a Jerusalén Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia que servía en la presencia del rey de Babilonia.
13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:
Quemó la Casa de Yavé, el palacio real y todas las casas de Jerusalén. Destruyó con fuego todo edificio grande.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
El ejército caldeo, a las órdenes del capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros alrededor de Jerusalén.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, se llevó en cautividad una parte de la gente humilde del pueblo, el remanente de la población que quedó en la ciudad, junto con los desertores que se habían pasado al rey de Babilonia y el resto de los artesanos.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for farmers.
Pero Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, dejó a los más pobres del pueblo como viñadores y labradores asalariados.
17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Los caldeos rompieron en pedazos las columnas de bronce, las basas y el mar de bronce que estaban en la Casa de Yavé. Se llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered, took they away.
Se llevaron también los calderos, las palas, las despabiladeras, los tazones, las cucharas y todos los utensilios de bronce con los cuales se ministraba.
19 And the basins, and the fire pans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.
10 apitán de la guardia tomó también los incensarios, los tazones, las copas, las ollas, los candelabros, las escudillas y las tazas, los cuales eran de oro puro y de plata pura.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Era incalculable el peso del bronce de las dos columnas, el mar y los 12 bueyes de bronce que sostenían el mar que el rey Salomón hizo para la Casa de Yavé.
21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
En cuanto a las columnas, la altura de cada una era de 8,1 metros. Su circunferencia medía un cordel de 5,4 metros y su espesor era de 7,2 centímetros, pues eran huecas.
22 And a capital of brass was on it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capitals round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like to these.
Un capitel de bronce coronaba cada columna. La altura del capitel era de 2,25 metros, con una obra de malla y granadas en su alrededor, todo de bronce. La segunda columna era de iguales dimensiones, con sus granadas.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network were an hundred round about.
Había 96 granadas en cada hilera. Sobre la malla alrededor del capitel había un total de 100 granadas.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
El capitán de la guardia capturó después a Seraías, el sumo sacerdote, y a Sofonías, el segundo sacerdote, junto con los tres guardianes del patio.
25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and three score men of the people of the land, that were found in the middle of the city.
De los de la ciudad tomó a cierto servidor del palacio que tenía a su cargo los guerreros, a siete hombres del servicio personal del rey que fueron hallados en la ciudad, al escriba principal de la milicia, que hacía la recluta de la gente de la tierra, y a 60 hombres del pueblo que se hallaron dentro de la ciudad.
26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los capturó y los llevó ante el rey de Babilonia en Ribla.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
El rey de Babilonia los atacó y los mató en Ribla, en tierra de Hamat. Así Judá fue llevado en cautividad, fuera de su tierra.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Éste es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor llevó cautivo: el año séptimo, a 3.033 hombres de Judá,
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
el año 18 de Nabucodonosor, a 832 personas de Jerusalén;
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
el año 23 de Nabucodonosor, a 745 personas de Judá por Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia. Hubo un total de 4.600 personas.
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.
El año 37 del cautiverio de Joaquín, rey de Judá, el mes 12, a los 25 días del mes, sucedió que Evil-merodac, rey de Babilonia, el año primero de su reinado, indultó a Joaquín, rey de Judá, y lo sacó de la cárcel.
32 And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
Le habló amigablemente e hizo poner su sitial por encima de los otros reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.
33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
Le mudó también la ropa de prisionero. Comió siempre en la mesa del rey todos los días de su vida.
34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Continuamente se le daba una ración de parte del rey de Babilonia para cada día durante todos los días de su vida, hasta el día de su muerte.
