< 2 Kings 25 >
1 And it came to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came—he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and they built against it a siege wall, round about.
E succedeu que, no nono anno do seu reinado, no mez decimo, aos dez do mez, Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, veiu contra Jerusalem, elle e todo o seu exercito, e se acampou contra ella, e levantaram contra ella tranqueiras em redor.
2 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
E a cidade foi sitiada até ao undecimo anno do rei Zedekias.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land,
Aos nove do mez quarto, quando a cidade se via apertada da fome, nem havia pão para o povo da terra.
4 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the garden of the king, the Chaldeans being near the city round about, —and he went the way of the Waste Plain;
Então a cidade foi arrombada, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram de noite pelo caminho da porta, entre os dois muros que estavam junto ao jardim do rei (porque os chaldeos estavam contra a cidade em redor), e o rei se foi pelo caminho da campina.
5 and the force of the Chaldeans, pursued, the king, and overtook him in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered from him.
Porém o exercito dos chaldeos perseguiu o rei, e o alcançaram nas campinas de Jericó: e todo o seu exercito se dispersou d'elle.
6 So they seized the king, and brought him up unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah, —and they pronounced upon him sentence of judgment.
E tomaram o rei, e o fizeram subir ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla: e procederam contra elle.
7 And, the sons of Zedekiah, they slew before his eyes, —and, the eyes of Zedekiah, put they out, and then bound him with fetters of bronze, and brought him into Babylon.
E aos filhos de Zedekias degolaram diante dos seus olhos: e vasaram os olhos a Zedekias, e o ataram com duas cadeias de bronze, e o levaram a Babylonia.
8 And, in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem;
E no quinto mez no setimo dia do mez (este era o anno decimo nono de Nabucodonosor rei de Babylonia), veiu Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, servo do rei de Babylonia, a Jerusalem,
9 and burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.
E queimou a casa do Senhor e a casa do rei, como tambem todas as casas de Jerusalem, e todas as casas dos grandes, queimou.
10 And, the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
E todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derribou os muros em redor de Jerusalem.
11 And, the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, carry away captive.
E o mais do povo que deixaram ficar na cidade, e os rebeldes que se renderam ao rei de Babylonia, e o mais da multidão, Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, levou presos.
12 But, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
Porém dos mais pobres da terra deixou o capitão da guarda ficar alguns para vinheiros e para lavradores.
13 And, the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them to Babylon;
Quebraram mais os chaldeos as columnas de cobre que estavam na casa do Senhor, como tambem as bases e o mar de cobre que estavam na casa do Senhor: e levaram o seu bronze para Babylonia.
14 and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;
Tambem tomaram as caldeiras, e as pás, e os apagadores, e os perfumadores, e todos os vasos de cobre, com que se ministrava.
15 and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.
Tambem o capitão da guarda tomou os braseiros, e as bacias, o que era de puro oiro, em oiro e o que era de prata, em prata.
16 As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.
As duas columnas, um mar, e as bases, que Salomão fizera para a casa do Senhor: o cobre de todos estes vasos não tinha peso.
17 Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice-work.
A altura d'uma columna era de dezoito covados, e sobre ella havia um capitel de cobre, e de altura tinha o capitel tres covados; e a rede, e as romãs em roda do capitel, tudo era de cobre; e similhante a esta era a outra columna com a rede.
18 And the chief of the royal executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance hall;
Tambem o capitão da guarda tomou a Seraias, primeiro sacerdote, e a Zephanias segundo sacerdote, e aos tres guardas do umbral da porta.
19 and, out of the city, took he one courtier who himself was set over the men of war, and five men of them who were wont to see the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe—general of the army, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city;
E da cidade tomou a um eunucho, que tinha cargo da gente de guerra, e a cinco homens dos que viam a face do rei, e se acharam na cidade, como tambem ao escrivão-mór do exercito, que registrava o povo da terra para a guerra, e a sessenta homens do povo da terra, que se acharam na cidade.
20 and Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, took them, —and brought them unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah;
E tomando-os Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, os trouxe ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla.
21 and the king of Babylon smote them and slew them in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and thus Judah disappeared from off their own soil.
E o rei de Babylonia os feriu e os matou em Ribla, na terra de Hamath: e Judah foi levado preso para fóra da sua terra.
22 But, as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left remaining, he set over them Gedaliah, son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.
Porém, quanto ao povo que ficava na terra de Judah, e Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, deixou ficar, poz sobre elle por maioral a Gedalias, filho de Ahikam, filho de Saphan.
23 And, when all the generals of the forces, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylon had given oversight unto Gedaliah, then came they in unto Gedaliah, at Mizpah, —even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of a Maacathite, they and their men.
Ouvindo pois os capitães dos exercitos, elles e os seus homens, que o rei de Babylonia puzera a Gedalias por maioral, vieram a Gedalias, a Mispah, a saber: Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, e Johanan, filho de Kareath, e Seraias, filho de Tanhumeth, o netophatita, e Jazanias, filho do Maacatita, elles e os seus homens.
24 And Gedaliah sware unto them, and to their men, and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans, —dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
E Gedalias jurou a elles e aos seus homens, e lhes disse: Não temaes ser servos dos chaldeos: ficae na terra, e servi ao rei de Babylonia, e bem vos irá.
25 And it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah a son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, —and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Succedeu, porém, que, no setimo mez, veiu Ishmael, filho de Nethanias, o filho de Elisama, da semente real, e dez homens com elle, e feriram a Gedalias, e elle morreu, como tambem aos judeos, e aos chaldeos que estavam com elle em Mispah.
26 Then arose all the people, both small and great, and the generals of the forces, and came into Egypt, —for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Então todo o povo se levantou, desde o mais pequeno até ao maior, como tambem os capitães dos exercitos, e vieram ao Egypto, porque temiam os chaldeos.
27 And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, —that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of prison;
Depois d'isto succedeu que, no anno trinta e sete do captiveiro de Joaquim, rei de Judah, no mez duodecimo, aos vinte e sete do mez, Evil-merodac, rei de Babylonia, levantou, no anno em que reinou, a cabeça de Joaquim, rei de Judah, da casa da prisão.
28 and he spake with him kind words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon;
E lhe fallou benignamente: e poz o seu throno acima do throno dos reis que estavam com elle em Babylonia.
29 and changed his prison garments, —and he did eat bread continually before him, all the days of his life.
E lhe mudou os vestidos da prisão, e de continuo comeu pão na sua presença todos os dias da sua vida.
30 And, as his allowance, a continual portion, was given him, from the king, the provision of a day upon its own day, —all the days of his life.
E, quanto á sua subsistencia, pelo rei lhe foi dada subsistencia continua, a porção de cada dia no seu dia, todos os dias da sua vida.
