2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about it.
No nono ano de seu reinado, no décimo mês, no décimo dia do mês, veio Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, ele e todo seu exército, contra Jerusalém, e se acamparam contra ela; e construíram fortes contra ela em torno dela.
2 And the city was put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Assim a cidade foi sitiada até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
3 And on the ninth of the month, when the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land:
No nono dia do quarto mês, a fome era severa na cidade, de modo que não havia pão para o povo da terra.
4 The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people went the way toward the plain.
Então foi feita uma brecha na cidade, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram à noite pelo caminho do portão entre os dois muros, que ficava junto ao jardim do rei (agora os caldeus estavam contra a cidade ao redor); e o rei foi pelo caminho do Arabah.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.
Mas o exército caldeu perseguiu o rei e o alcançou nas planícies de Jericó; e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
6 And they seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
Então capturaram o rei e o levaram até o rei da Babilônia para Ribla; e o julgaram.
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
Eles mataram os filhos de Zedequias diante de seus olhos, depois arrancaram os olhos de Zedequias, amarraram-no em grilhões e o levaram para Babilônia.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
Agora no quinto mês, no sétimo dia do mês, que era o décimo nono ano do rei Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, servo do rei da Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém.
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; also, all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
Ele queimou a casa de Javé, a casa do rei, e todas as casas de Jerusalém. Ele queimou todas as grandes casas com fogo.
10 And the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
Todo o exército dos caldeus, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derrubou os muros ao redor de Jerusalém.
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda levou cativo o resto do povo que ficou na cidade e aqueles que tinham desertado para o rei da Babilônia - todo o resto da multidão.
12 But from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
Mas o capitão da guarda deixou alguns dos mais pobres da terra para trabalhar os vinhedos e os campos.
13 And the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof to Babylon.
Os caldeus quebraram os pilares de bronze que estavam na casa de Yahweh e as bases e o mar de bronze que estavam na casa de Yahweh, e levaram as peças de bronze para a Babilônia.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Eles tiraram as panelas, as pás, os rapé, as colheres e todos os vasos de bronze com os quais ministraram.
15 And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
O capitão da guarda tirou as panelas de fogo, as bacias, o que era de ouro, para o ouro, e o que era de prata, para a prata.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
Os dois pilares, o único mar, e as bases, que Salomão havia feito para a casa de Yahweh, o bronze de todas estas embarcações não foi pesado.
17 Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
A altura de um pilar era de dezoito côvados, e sobre ele havia um capital de bronze. A altura do capital era de três côvados, com rede e romãs na capital ao redor, tudo de bronze; e o segundo pilar com sua rede era como estes.
18 And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
O capitão da guarda levou Seraías, o sacerdote chefe, Sofonias, o segundo sacerdote, e os três guardas do umbral;
19 And out of the city he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
e da cidade ele levou um oficial que foi colocado sobre os homens de guerra; e cinco homens daqueles que viram o rosto do rei, que foram encontrados na cidade; e o escriba, o capitão do exército, que reuniu o povo da terra, e sessenta homens do povo da terra, que foram encontrados na cidade.
20 And Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda os levou e os trouxe ao rei da Babilônia para Riblah.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile out of their land.
O rei da Babilônia os atacou e os matou em Riblah, na terra de Hamath. Então Judá foi levado cativo para fora de sua terra.
22 And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
Quanto ao povo que ficou na terra de Judá, que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia deixado, até mesmo sobre eles fez de Gedalias o filho de Ahikam, o filho de Shaphan, governador.
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, they and their men.
Agora quando todos os capitães das forças, eles e seus homens, ouviram que o rei da Babilônia havia feito Gedalias governador, vieram a Gedalias para Mizpá, até mesmo Ismael, filho de Netanias, Johananan, filho de Kareah, Seraías, filho de Tanhumeth, o netofatita, e Jaazanias, filho do maacatita, eles e seus homens.
24 And Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will be well with you.
Gedaliah jurou a eles e a seus homens, e lhes disse: “Não tenham medo por causa dos servos dos caldeus. Habitem na terra e sirvam o rei da Babilônia, e estará bem com vocês”.
25 But it happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
Mas no sétimo mês, veio Ismael, filho de Nethaniah, filho de Elishama, da descendência real, e dez homens com ele, e atingiu Gedaliah para que ele morresse, com os judeus e os caldeus que estavam com ele em Mizpah.
26 And then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Todo o povo, tanto pequeno quanto grande, e os capitães das forças se levantaram e vieram ao Egito; pois tinham medo dos caldeus.
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the prison;
No trigésimo sétimo ano do cativeiro de Joaquim, rei de Judá, no décimo segundo mês, no vigésimo sétimo dia do mês, Evilmerodach, rei da Babilônia, no ano em que começou a reinar, libertou Joaquim, rei de Judá, da prisão,
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his chair above the chair of the kings that were with him in Babylon:
e falou gentilmente com ele e colocou seu trono acima do trono dos reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia,
29 And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
e mudou suas vestes de prisão. Jehoiachin comeu pão diante dele continuamente todos os dias de sua vida;
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
e para sua mesada, houve uma mesada contínua dada pelo rei, todos os dias uma porção, todos os dias de sua vida.
