< Chronicles II 36 >
1 And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.
Então o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o fizeram rei em lugar de seu pai, em Jerusalém.
2 Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
Era Joachaz da idade de vinte e três anos, quando começou a reinar: e três meses reinou em Jerusalém.
3 And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Porque o rei do Egito o depôs em Jerusalém: e condenou a terra à contribuição de cem talentos de prata e um talento de ouro.
4 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.
E o rei do Egito pôs a Eliakim, seu irmão, rei sobre Judá e Jerusalém, e mudou-lhe o nome em Joaquim: mas a seu irmão Joachaz tomou Necho, e levou-o para o Egito.
5 Joachim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Era Joaquim de vinte e cinco anos de idade, quando começou a reinar: e onze anos reinou em Jerusalém: e fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus.
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
Subiu pois contra ele Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e o amarrou com cadeias, para o levar a Babilônia.
7 And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.
Também alguns dos vasos da casa do Senhor levou Nabucodonosor, a Babilônia, e pô-los no seu templo em Babilônia.
8 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.
Quanto ao mais dos sucessos de Joaquim, e as suas abominações que fez, e o mais que se achou nele, eis que está escrito no livro dos reis de Israel e de Judá: e Joaquim, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
9 Jechonias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Era Joaquim da idade de oito anos, quando começou a reinar: e três meses e dez dias reinou em Jerusalém: e fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor.
10 And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father's brother king over Juda and Jerusalem.
E no decurso dum ano enviou o rei Nabucodonosor, e mandou traze-lo a Babilônia, com os mais preciosos vasos da casa do Senhor; e pôs a Zedekias, seu irmão, rei sobre Judá e Jerusalém.
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Era Zedekias da idade de vinte e cinco anos, quando começou a reinar: e onze anos reinou em Jerusalém.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus; nem se humilhou perante o profeta Jeremias, que falava da parte do Senhor.
13 in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
De mais disto, também se rebelou contra o rei Nabucodonosor, que o tinha ajuramentado por Deus; mas endureceu a sua cerviz, e tanto se obstinou no seu coração, que se não converteu ao Senhor, Deus de Israel.
14 And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
Também todos os chefes dos sacerdotes e o povo aumentavam de mais em mais as transgressões, segundo todas as abominações dos gentios: e contaminaram a casa do Senhor, que ele tinha santificado em Jerusalém.
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
E o Senhor, Deus de seus pais, lhes enviou a sua palavra pelos seus mensageiros, madrugando, e enviando-lhos; porque se compadeceu do seu povo e da sua habitação.
16 Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nothing his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy.
Porém zombaram dos mensageiros de Deus, e desprezaram as suas palavras, e mofaram dos seus profetas; até o furor do Senhor tanto subiu contra o seu povo, que mais nenhum remédio houve.
17 And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
Porque fez subir contra eles o rei dos caldeus, o qual matou os seus mancebos à espada, na casa do seu santuário; e não teve piedade nem dos mancebos, nem das donzelas, nem dos velhos, nem dos decrépitos: a todos os deu na sua mão.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.
E todos os vasos da casa de Deus, grandes e pequenos, e os tesouros da casa do Senhor, e os tesouros do rei e dos seus príncipes, tudo levou para Babilônia.
19 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.
E queimaram a casa do Senhor, e derrubaram o muro de Jerusalém: e todos os seus palácios queimaram a fogo, destruindo também todos os seus preciosos vasos.
20 And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes.
E os que escaparam da espada levou para Babilônia: e fizeram-se servos, dele e de seus filhos, até ao reinado do reino da Pérsia.
21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.
Para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor, pela boca de Jeremias, até que a terra se agradasse dos seus sábados: todos os dias da assolação repousou, até que os setenta anos se cumpriram.
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
Porém, no primeiro ano de Cyro, rei da Pérsia (para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor pela boca de Jeremias), despertou o Senhor o espírito de Cyro, rei da Pérsia, o qual fez passar pregão por todo o seu reino, como também por escrito, dizendo:
23 Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
Assim diz Cyro, rei da Pérsia: O Senhor, Deus dos céus, me deu todos os reinos da terra, e me encarregou de lhe edificar uma casa em Jerusalém, que está em Judá; quem de vós há entre todo o seu povo, o Senhor seu Deus seja com ele, e suba.
