Jeremiah 52
1 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, 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 wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Yavé, tal como hizo Joacim,
3 For it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until 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, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and he built against it a siege-wall 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 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
La ciudad estuvo sitiada hasta el año 11 del rey Sedequías.
6 In the fourth month 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,
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 was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about), —and they went the way towards the Waste 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 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, 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 So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
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, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he 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 and the eyes of Zedekiah, put he out, —and bound him with fetters of bronze and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison—until 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 And in the fifth month on the tenth of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, —who stood before 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 he 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;
Quemó la Casa de Yavé, el palacio real y todas las casas de Jerusalén. Destruyó con fuego todo edificio grande.
14 and all the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
El ejército caldeo, a las órdenes del capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros alrededor de Jerusalén.
15 And some of the poor of the people and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who had fallen away unto the king of Babylon and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners carry away captive.
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, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Pero Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, dejó a los más pobres del pueblo como viñadores y labradores asalariados.
17 And the pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh and the stands and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces, —and they carried away all the bronze 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 and the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made did they take 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 censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold in gold, and which were of silver in silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take 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 As for the two pillars the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight was the bronze of all these things.
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 Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, —and the thickness thereof was four fingers’ breadth—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 there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and the height of each capital, was five cubits, with lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about—the whole was of bronze, —and like these, were the second pillar and the pomegranates.
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 the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work round about.
Había 96 granadas en cada hilera. Sobre la malla alrededor del capitel había un total de 100 granadas.
24 And the chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
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 and out of the city, took he one eunuch who was in charge over the men of war and seven men of them who used to watch the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the prince of the host, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst 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 And when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto the king of Babylon at Riblah,
Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los capturó y los llevó ante el rey de Babilonia en Ribla.
27 then did the king of Babylon smite them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath, —thus carried he Judah captive away from off their own soil.
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—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
Éste es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor llevó cautivo: el año séptimo, a 3.033 hombres de Judá,
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
el año 18 de Nabucodonosor, a 832 personas de Jerusalén;
30 In the three-and-twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners took away captive, of them of Judah, seven hundred and forty-five souls: All, the souls, 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 thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year he began to 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 spake with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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 so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face continually, 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 his allowance, was a continual allowance given him from the king of Babylon the portion of the day upon its own day, 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.
