2 Kings 24
1 While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
Em seus dias surgiu Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, e Jehoiakim tornou-se seu servo por três anos. Então ele se voltou e se rebelou contra ele.
2 Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
Javé enviou contra ele bandas dos caldeus, bandas dos sírios, bandas dos moabitas e bandas das crianças de Amon, e os enviou contra Judá para destruí-lo, de acordo com a palavra de Javé, que ele falou por seus servos, os profetas.
3 These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
Certamente por ordem de Javé isto veio sobre Judá, para tirá-los de sua vista pelos pecados de Manassés, segundo tudo o que ele fez,
4 Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
e também pelo sangue inocente que derramou; pois ele encheu Jerusalém de sangue inocente, e Javé não perdoaria.
5 The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Agora o resto dos atos de Jeoiaquim, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
6 When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
So Jehoiakim dormiu com seus pais, e Jehoiachin, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
7 [The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
O rei do Egito não saiu mais de sua terra; pois o rei da Babilônia havia levado, do riacho do Egito ao rio Eufrates, tudo o que pertencia ao rei do Egito.
8 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
Jehoiachin tinha dezoito anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém três meses. O nome de sua mãe era Nehushta, filha de Elnatã de Jerusalém.
9 Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Javé, de acordo com tudo o que seu pai havia feito.
10 [While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
Naquele tempo os servos de Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, subiram a Jerusalém, e a cidade foi sitiada.
11 While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, veio à cidade enquanto seus servos a sitiavam,
12 Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
e Jeoiaquim, rei de Judá, foi ter com o rei da Babilônia - ele, sua mãe, seus servos, seus príncipes e seus oficiais; e o rei da Babilônia o capturou no oitavo ano de seu reinado.
13 Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
Ele realizou de lá todos os tesouros da casa de Iavé e os tesouros da casa do rei, e cortou em pedaços todos os vasos de ouro que Salomão, rei de Israel, tinha feito no templo de Iavé, como Iavé tinha dito.
14 They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
Ele levou toda Jerusalém, e todos os príncipes, e todos os poderosos homens de valor, mesmo dez mil cativos, e todos os artesãos e ferreiros. Não ficou ninguém, exceto os mais pobres da terra.
15 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
Ele levou Joaquim para a Babilônia, com a mãe do rei, as esposas do rei, seus oficiais e os principais homens da terra. Ele os levou para o cativeiro de Jerusalém para a Babilônia.
16 They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
Todos os homens de poder, mesmo sete mil, e os artesãos e ferreiros mil, todos eles fortes e aptos para a guerra, até mesmo eles o rei da Babilônia trouxe cativos para a Babilônia.
17 Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
O rei da Babilônia fez de Matanias, irmão do pai de Joaquim, rei em seu lugar, e mudou seu nome para Zedequias.
18 When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
Zedequias tinha vinte e um anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libnah.
19 But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Ele fez o que era mau aos olhos de Javé, de acordo com tudo o que Jehoiaquim tinha feito.
20 Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Pois através da ira de Iavé, isto aconteceu em Jerusalém e Judá, até que ele os expulsou de sua presença. Então Zedequias se rebelou contra o rei da Babilônia.
