2 Reis 24
1 Nos seus dias subiu Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e Joaquim ficou três anos seu servo; depois se virou, e se rebelou contra ele.
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 ele as tropas dos caldeus, e as tropas dos siros, e as tropas dos moabitas, e as tropas dos filhos de Ammon; e as enviou contra Judá, para o destruir, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que falara pelo ministério de seus servos, os profetas.
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 sucedeu a Judá, que a tirou de diante da sua face, por causa dos pecados 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 também por causa do sangue inocente que derramou, enchendo a Jerusalém de sangue inocente: e por isso o Senhor não quis perdoar.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 Ora o mais dos sucessos de Joaquim, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
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 pais: e Joachin, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 E o rei do Egito nunca mais saiu da sua terra; porque o rei de Babilônia tomou tudo quanto era do rei do Egito, desde o rio do Egito 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 anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou três meses em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe, Nehustha, filha de Elnathan, de Jerusalém.
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 pai.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 Naquele tempo subiram os servos de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, a Jerusalém, 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 Também veio Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, 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 Judá, ao rei de Babilônia, ele, e sua mãe, e seus servos, e seus príncipes, e seus eunucos; e o rei de Babilônia o tomou preso, no ano 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 dali todos os tesouros da casa do Senhor, e os tesouros da casa do rei: e fendeu todos os vasos de ouro, 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 Jerusalém, como também a todos os príncipes, e a todos os homens valorosos, dez mil presos, e a todos os carpinteiros e ferreiros: ninguém 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 Babilônia; como também a mãe do rei, e as mulheres do rei, e os seus eunucos, e os poderosos da terra levou presos de Jerusalém a Babilônia.
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 Babilônia, levou presos para Babilônia.
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 Babilônia estabeleceu a Mathanias, seu tio, rei em seu lugar: 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 anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém: 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 sucedeu por causa da ira do Senhor contra Jerusalém, e contra Judá, até os rejeitar de diante da sua face: e Zedekias se rebelou contra o rei de Babilônia.
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.
