2 Crônicas 36
1 Então o povo da terra tomou a Joachaz, filho de Josias, e o fizeram rei em logar de seu pae, em Jerusalem.
Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
2 Era Joachaz da edade de vinte e tres annos, quando começou a reinar: e tres mezes reinou em Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
3 Porque o rei do Egypto o depoz em Jerusalem: e condemnou a terra á contribuição de cem talentos de prata e um talento de oiro.
King Neco of Egypt [captured him and] prevented him from ruling any longer. He also forced the people of Judah to pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and about 75 pounds of gold.
4 E o rei do Egypto poz a Eliakim, seu irmão, rei sobre Judah e Jerusalem, e mudou-lhe o nome em Joaquim: mas a seu irmão Joachaz tomou Necho, e levou-o para o Egypto.
The king of Egypt appointed Jehoahaz’s [younger] brother Eliakim to be the king of Judah. He changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. After Neco captured Jehoahaz, he took him to Egypt.
5 Era Joaquim de vinte e cinco annos d'edade, quando começou a reinar: e onze annos reinou em Jerusalem: e fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus.
Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 11 years. He did things that Yahweh his God considers to be evil.
6 Subiu pois contra elle Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, e o amarrou com cadeias, para o levar a Babylonia.
Then the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jehoiakim’s army. They [captured Jehoiakim and] bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
7 Tambem alguns dos vasos da casa do Senhor levou Nabucodonosor, a Babylonia, e pôl-os no seu templo em Babylonia.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took valuable things from the temple; they took them to Babylon and put them in king [Nebuchadnezzar’s] palace there.
8 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Joaquim, e as suas abominações que fez, e o mais que se achou n'elle, eis que está escripto no livro dos reis d'Israel e de Judah: e Joaquim, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
A record of the other things that happened while Jehoiakim was ruling, the detestable things that he did, including the evil things that people said that he did, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’. After [he was taken to Babylon], his son Jehoiachin became the king [of Judah].
9 Era Joaquim da edade d'oito annos, quando começou a reinar: e tres mezes e dez dias reinou em Jerusalem: e fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months and ten days. He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil.
10 E no decurso d'um anno enviou o rei Nabucodonosor, e mandou trazel-o a Babylonia, com os mais preciosos vasos da casa do Senhor; e poz a Zedekias, seu irmão, rei sobre Judah e Jerusalem.
During the spring of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent [soldiers] to bring him to Babylon. They also took to Babylon many valuable things from the temple of Yahweh. Then Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be the king of Judah.
11 Era Zedekias da edade de vinte e cinco annos, quando começou a reinar: e onze annos reinou em Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
12 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus; nem se humilhou perante o propheta Jeremias, que fallava da parte do Senhor.
He did many things that Yahweh his God considered to be evil. And he did not humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message from Yahweh [to warn him].
13 De mais d'isto, tambem se rebellou 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 d'Israel.
He would not return to Yahweh, the God that the people of Israel [said that they worshiped]. Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to solemnly promise using God’s name [to be loyal to him]. Zedekiah became very stubborn.
14 Tambem todos os chefes dos sacerdotes e o povo augmentavam de mais em mais as transgressões, segundo todas as abominações dos gentios: e contaminaram a casa do Senhor, que elle tinha sanctificado em Jerusalem.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and also the people [of Judah] became more wicked again, doing all the detestable things that the people of the other nations did, and causing the temple in Jerusalem that Yahweh had caused to be holy to become [an] unacceptable [place to worship him].
15 E o Senhor, Deus de seus paes, lhes enviou a sua palavra pelos seus mensageiros, madrugando, e enviando-lh'os; porque se compadeceu do seu povo e da sua habitação.
Yahweh, the God whom the ancestors [of the people of Judah belonged to/worshiped], gave messages to his prophets many times, and the prophets told those messages to the people of Judah. Yahweh did that because he pitied his people and did not want his temple to be destroyed.
16 Porém zombaram dos mensageiros de Deus, e desprezaram as suas palavras, e mofaram dos seus prophetas; até o furor do Senhor tanto subiu contra o seu povo, que mais nenhum remedio houve.
But the people continually made fun of God’s messengers. They despised God’s messages. They ridiculed his prophets, until finally God became extremely angry with his people, with the result that nothing could stop him [from destroying Judah].
17 Porque fez subir contra elles o rei dos chaldeos, o qual matou os seus mancebos á espada, na casa do seu sanctuario; e não teve piedade nem dos mancebos, nem das donzellas, nem dos velhos, nem dos decrepitos: a todos os deu na sua mão.
He incited the king of Babylonia to attack [Judah with his army]. They killed the young men with their swords, even in the temple. They did not spare/pity anyone, young men or young women or old people. God enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to kill all of them.
18 E todos os vasos da casa de Deus, grandes e pequenos, e os thesouros da casa do Senhor, e os thesouros do rei e dos seus principes, tudo levou para Babylonia.
His soldiers took to Babylon all the things that were used in God’s temple—big things and little things, all the valuable things, and the valuable things that belonged to the king and his officials.
19 E queimaram a casa do Senhor, e derrubaram o muro de Jerusalem: e todos os seus palacios queimaram a fogo, destruindo tambem todos os seus preciosos vasos.
They burned the temple, and they broke down the wall surrounding Jerusalem. They burned all the palaces [in Jerusalem] and destroyed all the remaining valuable things there.
20 E os que escaparam da espada levou para Babylonia: e fizeram-se servos, d'elle e de seus filhos, até ao reinado do reino da Persia.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers took to Babylon the remaining people who had not been killed with their swords. Then those people became the king’s slaves and his son’s slaves, until the [army of the] king of Persia conquered [the army of Babylonia].
21 Para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor, pela bocca de Jeremias, até que a terra se agradasse dos seus sabbados: todos os dias da assolação repousou, até que os setenta annos se cumpriram.
[Moses had said that every seventh year the people must not plant their fields; they must allow the soil to rest. But the people had not done that. So after the army of Babylonia destroyed Judah, ] the soil was allowed to rest. That continued for 70 years, fulfilling what Yahweh told Jeremiah and what Jeremiah had predicted/prophesied would happen.
22 Porém, no primeiro anno de Cyro, rei da Persia (para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor pela bocca de Jeremias), despertou o Senhor o espirito de Cyro, rei da Persia, o qual fez passar pregão por todo o seu reino, como tambem por escripto, dizendo:
During the first year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, in order that what Yahweh told Jeremiah would happen would occur, Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this and proclaim it throughout his kingdom:
23 Assim diz Cyro, rei da Persia: O Senhor, Deus dos céus, me deu todos os reinos da terra, e me encarregou de lhe edificar uma casa em Jerusalem, que está em Judah; quem de vós ha entre todo o seu povo, o Senhor seu Deus seja com elle, e suba.
“I, Cyrus, the king of Persia, declare that Yahweh, the God [who rules] in heaven, has enabled me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms of this world. And he wants me to [command that my workers] build a temple {a temple be built} for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of his people living among you people of Persia are allowed to go to Jerusalem. And I will pray that Yahweh will be with them.”
