2 Reis 24
1 Nos seus dias subiu Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, e Joaquim ficou tres annos seu servo; depois se virou, e se rebellou contra elle.
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.
2 E Deus enviou contra elle as tro- pas dos chaldeos, e as tropas dos syros, e as tropas dos moabitas, e as tropas dos filhos d'Ammon; e as enviou contra Judah, para o destruir, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que fallara pelo ministerio de seus servos, os prophetas.
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.
3 E, na verdade, conforme o mandado do Senhor, assim succedeu a Judah, que a tirou de diante da sua face, por causa dos peccados de Manasseh, conforme tudo quanto fizera.
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].
4 Como tambem por causa do sangue innocente que derramou, enchendo a Jerusalem de sangue innocente: e por isso o Senhor não quiz perdoar.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 Ora o mais dos successos de Joaquim, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
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’.
6 E Joaquim dormiu com seus paes: e Joachin, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 E o rei do Egypto nunca mais saiu da sua terra; porque o rei de Babylonia tomou tudo quanto era do rei do Egypto, desde o rio do Egypto até ao rio Euphrates.
[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.
8 Tinha Joachin dezoito annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou tres mezes em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe, Nehustha, filha de Elnathan, de Jerusalem.
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.
9 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizera seu pae.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 N'aquelle tempo subiram os servos de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, a Jerusalem, e a cidade foi cercada.
[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.
11 Tambem veiu Nabucodonosor, rei de Babylonia, contra a cidade, quando já os seus servos a estavam cercando.
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 Então saiu Joachin, rei de Judah, ao rei de Babylonia, elle, e sua mãe, e seus servos, e seus principes, e seus eunuchos; e o rei de Babylonia o tomou preso, no anno oitavo do seu reinado.
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.
13 E tirou d'ali todos os thesouros da casa do Senhor, e os thesouros da casa do rei: e fendeu todos os vasos d'oiro, que fizera Salomão, rei de Israel, no templo do Senhor, como o Senhor tinha dito.
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.
14 E transportou a toda a Jerusalem, como tambem a todos os principes, e a todos os homens valorosos, dez mil presos, e a todos os carpinteiros e ferreiros: ninguem ficou senão o povo pobre da terra.
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.
15 Assim transportou Joachin a Babylonia; como tambem a mãe do rei, e as mulheres do rei, e os seus eunuchos, e os poderosos da terra levou presos de Jerusalem a Babylonia.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 E todos os homens, valentes, até sete mil, e carpinteiros e ferreiros até mil, e todos os varões dextros na guerra, a estes o rei de Babylonia, levou presos para Babylonia.
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.
17 E o rei de Babylonia estabeleceu a Mathanias, seu tio, rei em seu logar: e lhe mudou o nome em Zedekias.
Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
18 Tinha Zedekias vinte e um annos de edade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze annos em Jerusalem: e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
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].
19 E fez o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizera Joaquim.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Porque assim succedeu por causa da ira do Senhor contra Jerusalem, e contra Judah, até os rejeitar de diante da sua face: e Zedekias se rebellou contra o rei de Babylonia.
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.
