< 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.
Era Zedekias da idade de vinte e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém: e o nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
E fez o que era mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera Joaquim.
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 sucedeu, por causa da ira do Senhor contra Jerusalém e Judá, até que ele os lançou de diante dele, que se rebelou Zedekias contra o rei de Babilônia.
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.
E aconteceu, no ano nono do seu reinado, no mês décimo, no décimo dia do mes, que veio Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, contra Jerusalém, ele e todo o seu exército, e se acamparam contra ela, e levantaram contra ela tranqueiras ao redor.
5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Assim esteve cercada a cidade, até ao ano undécimo do rei Zedekias.
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.
No mês quarto, aos nove do mes, quando já a fome prevaleceu na cidade, e o povo da terra não tinha pão,
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.
Então a cidade foi arrombada, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram, e sairam da cidade de noite, pelo caminho da porta, entre os dois muros que estavam junto ao jardim do rei (porque os caldeus estavam contra a cidade ao redor), e foram-se pelo caminho da campina.
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.
Porém o exército dos caldeus seguiu o rei, e alcançaram a Zedekias nas campinas de Jericó, e todo o seu exército se espalhou dele.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
E prenderam o rei, e o fizeram subir ao rei de Babilônia, a Ribla, na terra de Hamath, o qual pronunciou juízos contra ele.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
E o rei de Babilônia degolou os filhos de Zedekias diante dos seus olhos, e também degolou a todos os príncipes de Judá em 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.
E cegou os olhos a Zedekias, e o atou com duas cadeias de bronze; e o rei de Babilônia o levou a Babilônia, e o pôs na casa do cárcere até ao dia da sua morte.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
E no quinto mes, no décimo dia do mês (este era o décimo nono ano do rei Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia), veio Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, que assistia na presença do rei de Babilônia, a Jerusalém.
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:
E queimou a casa do Senhor, e a casa do rei; e também a todas as casas de Jerusalém, e a todas as casas dos grandes queimou a fogo.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
E todo o exército dos caldeus, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derribou a todos os muros de Jerusalém ao redor.
15 Then Nebuzar-adan 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.
E dos mais pobres do povo, e o resto do povo, que deixaram ficar na cidade, e os rebeldes que se haviam passado ao rei de Babilônia, e o resto da multidão, Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, levou presos.
16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Mas dos mais pobres da terra deixou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, ficar alguns, para serem vinhateiros e lavradores.
17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Quebraram mais os caldeus as colunas de bronze, que estavam na casa do Senhor, e as bases, e o mar de bronze, que estavam na casa do Senhor, e levaram todo o bronze para Babilônia.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Também tomaram os caldeirões, e as pás, e os garfos, e as bacias, e os perfumadores, e todos os vasos de bronze, com que se ministrava.
19 And the basons, and the firepans, 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.
E tomou o capitão da guarda os copos, e os incensários, e as bacias, e os caldeirões e os castiçais, e os perfumadores, e as galhetas: assim o que era de puro ouro em ouro, como o que era de prata maciça em prata.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen 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.
As duas colunas, o único mar, e os doze bois de bronze, que estavam no lugar das bases, que fizera o rei Salomão para a casa do Senhor: o bronze deles, de todos estes vasos, não tinha peso.
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.
Quanto às colunas, a altura de uma coluna era de dezoito côvados, e um fio de doze côvados a cercava; e era a sua grossura de quatro dedos, e era oca.
22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
E havia sobre ela um capitel de bronze, e a altura do capitel era de cinco côvados, e a rede e as romãs em roda do capitel tudo era de bronze; e semelhante a esta era o da outra coluna, com as romãs.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.
E havia noventa e seis romãs em cada banda: as romãs todas eram um cento, em roda da rede.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Tomou também o capitão da guarda a Seraias, o sacerdote primeiro, e a Sofonias, o sacerdote segundo, e aos três guardas do umbral da porta.
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 threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
E da cidade tomou a um eunuco que tinha cargo da gente de guerra, e a sete homens dos que viam a face do rei, que se acharam na cidade, como também o escrivão-mór do exército, que registrava o povo da terra para a guerra, e a sessenta homens do povo da terra, que se acharam no meio da cidade.
26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Tomando-os pois Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, os trouxe ao rei de Babilônia, a 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.
E o rei de Babilônia os feriu e os matou em Ribla, na terra de Hamath: assim Judá foi levado da sua terra em cativeiro.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Este é o povo que Nabucodonozor levou cativo no sétimo ano: três mil e vinte e três judeus.
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
No ano décimo oitavo de Nabucodonozor levou ele em cativeiro de Jerusalém oitocentas e trinta e duas almas.
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan 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.
No ano vinte e três de Nabucodonozor, levou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, em cativeiro dos judeus, setecentas e quarenta e cinco almas: todas as almas são quatro mil e seiscentas.
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 Evil-merodach 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,
Sucedeu pois no ano trigésimo sétimo do cativeiro de Joaquim, rei de Judá, no mês duodécimo, aos vinte e cinco do mes, que exalçou Evil-merodach, rei de Babilônia, no ano primeiro do seu reinado, a cabeça de Joaquim, rei de Judá, e o tirou da casa da prisão;
32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
E falou com ele benignamente, e pôs o seu trono acima dos tronos dos reis que estavam com ele em Babilônia;
33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
E lhe mudou os vestidos da sua prisão; e comeu pão sempre na sua presença, todos os dias da sua 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.
E, quanto à sua pitança, foi-lhe dada pitança ordenaria do rei de Babilônia, porção quotidiana, no seu dia, até o dia da sua morte, todos os dias da sua vida.
