2 Reis 25
1 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.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 E a cidade foi sitiada até ao undecimo anno do rei Zedekias.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Aos nove do mez quarto, quando a cidade se via apertada da fome, nem havia pão para o povo da terra.
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 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.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Porém o exercito dos chaldeos perseguiu o rei, e o alcançaram nas campinas de Jericó: e todo o seu exercito se dispersou d'elle.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 E tomaram o rei, e o fizeram subir ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla: e procederam contra elle.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 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.
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 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,
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 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.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 E todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derribou os muros em redor de Jerusalem.
And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 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.
And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Porém dos mais pobres da terra deixou o capitão da guarda ficar alguns para vinheiros e para lavradores.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 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.
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Tambem tomaram as caldeiras, e as pás, e os apagadores, e os perfumadores, e todos os vasos de cobre, com que se ministrava.
They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 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.
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
16 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.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 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.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Tambem o capitão da guarda tomou a Seraias, primeiro sacerdote, e a Zephanias segundo sacerdote, e aos tres guardas do umbral da porta.
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 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.
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 E tomando-os Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, os trouxe ao rei de Babylonia, a Ribla.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 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.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
22 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.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
23 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.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 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.
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 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.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 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.
And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 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.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 E lhe fallou benignamente: e poz o seu throno acima do throno dos reis que estavam com elle em Babylonia.
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 E lhe mudou os vestidos da prisão, e de continuo comeu pão na sua presença todos os dias da sua vida.
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 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.
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
