< 2 Reis 24 >
1 Em seu tempo subiu Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, ao qual Jeoaquim serviu por três anos; depois voltou-se contra e se rebelou contra ele.
During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 O SENHOR, porém, enviou contra ele tropas de caldeus, e tropas de sírios, e tropas de moabitas, e tropas de amonitas; os quais enviou contra Judá para que a destruíssem, conforme a palavra do SENHOR que havia falado por meio dos seus servos, os profetas.
And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 Certamente foi por ordem do SENHOR que veio isto contra Judá, para tirá-la de sua presença, pelos pecados de Manassés, conforme tudo o que ele fez;
Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 Também pelo sangue inocente que derramou, pois encheu Jerusalém de sangue inocente; o SENHOR, portanto, não quis perdoar.
and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Os demais dos feitos de Jeoaquim, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 E descansou Jeoaquim com seus pais, e reinou em seu lugar seu filho Joaquim.
And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 E nunca mais o rei do Egito saiu de sua terra; porque o rei da Babilônia lhe tomou tudo o que era seu, desde o rio do Egito até o rio de Eufrates.
And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Tinha Joaquim dezoito anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém três meses. O nome de sua mãe foi Neusta filha de Elnatã, de Jerusalém.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seu pai havia feito.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 Naquele tempo subiram os servos de Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia contra Jerusalém e a cidade foi cercada.
At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 Veio também Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia contra a cidade, quando seus servos a tinham cercado.
And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 Então saiu Joaquim rei de Judá, para render-se ao rei da Babilônia, ele, e sua mãe, e seus servos, e seus príncipes, e seus eunucos; e o rei da Babilônia o prendeu no oitavo ano de seu reinado.
And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 E tirou dali todos os tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e os tesouros da casa real, e despedaçou todos os utensílios de ouro que havia feito Salomão rei de Israel na casa do SENHOR, como o SENHOR havia dito.
And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 E levou em cativeiro toda Jerusalém, todos os príncipes, e todos os homens valentes, até dez mil cativos, e todos os artesãos e ferreiros; que não restou ninguém, exceto os pobres do povo da terra.
And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Também levou cativo Joaquim à Babilônia, assim como a mãe do rei, as mulheres do rei, os seus eunucos, e os poderosos daquela terra; cativos os levou de Jerusalém à Babilônia.
Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 A todos os homens de guerra, que foram sete mil, e aos oficiais e ferreiros, que foram mil, e a todos os valentes para fazer a guerra, levou cativos o rei da Babilônia.
and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 E o rei da Babilônia pôs como rei em lugar de Joaquim a Matanias, tio dele, e mudou-lhe o nome para Zedequias.
And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 De vinte e um anos era Zedequias quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém onze anos. O nome de sua mãe foi Hamutal filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a tudo o que havia feito Jeoaquim.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Assim aconteceu por causa da ira do SENHOR contra Jerusalém e Judá, até que os expulsou de sua presença. E Zedequias se rebelou contra o rei da Babilônia.
For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
