2 Reis 25
1 E aconteceu aos nove anos de seu reinado, no mês décimo, aos dez do mês, que Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia veio com todo seu exército contra Jerusalém, e cercou-a; e levantaram contra ela rampas de cerco ao redor.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about it.
2 E esteve a cidade cercado até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
And the city was put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Aos nove do mês prevaleceu a fome na cidade, que não houve pão para o povo da terra.
And on the ninth of the month, when the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land:
4 Aberta já a cidade, fugiram de noite todos os homens de guerra pelo caminho da porta que estava entre os dois muros, junto aos jardins do rei, estando os caldeus ao redor da cidade; e o rei se foi caminho da campina.
The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people went the way toward the plain.
5 E o exército dos caldeus seguiu o rei, e tomou-o nas planícies de Jericó, e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.
6 Tomado, pois, o rei, trouxeram-no ao rei da Babilônia a Ribla, e proferiram contra ele sentença.
And they seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
7 E degolaram aos filhos de Zedequias em sua presença; e a Zedequias tiraram os olhos, e acorrentado com correntes levaram-no à Babilônia.
And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 No mês quinto, aos sete do mês, sendo o ano dezenove de Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda, servo do rei da Babilônia.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 E queimou a casa do SENHOR, e a casa do rei, e todas as casas de Jerusalém; e todas as casas dos príncipes queimou a fogo.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; also, all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 E todo o exército dos caldeus que estava com o capitão da guarda, derrubou os muros de Jerusalém ao redor.
And the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
11 E aos do povo que haviam restado na cidade, e aos que se haviam juntado ao rei da Babilônia, e aos que haviam restado da população, transportou-o Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda.
And the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
12 Mas dos pobres da terra deixou Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda, para que lavrassem as vinhas e as terras.
But from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
13 E quebraram os caldeus as colunas de bronze que estavam na casa do SENHOR, e as bases, e o mar de bronze que estava na casa do SENHOR, e levaram o bronze disso à Babilônia.
And the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof to Babylon.
14 Levaram-se também as caldeiras, e as pás, e as tenazes, e as colheres, e todos os vasos de bronze com que ministravam.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Incensários, bacias, os que de ouro, em ouro, e os que de prata, em prata, tudo o levou o capitão dos da guarda;
And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
16 As duas colunas, um mar, e as bases que Salomão havia feito para a casa do SENHOR: não havia peso de todos estes vasos.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
17 A altura da uma coluna era dezoito côvados e tinha encima um capitel de bronze, e a altura do capitel era de três côvados; e sobre o capitel havia um enredado e romãs ao redor, todo de bronze: e semelhante obra havia na outra coluna com o enredado.
Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
18 Tomou então o capitão dos da guarda a Seraías o sacerdote principal, e a Sofonias o segundo sacerdote, e três guardas da porta;
And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
19 E da cidade tomou um eunuco, o qual comandava os soldados, e cinco homens dos assistentes do rei, que se acharam na cidade; e ao principal escriba do exército, que fazia o registro da gente daquela terra; e sessenta homens do povo da terra,
And out of the city he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, tomou-os e os levou a Ribla, ao rei da Babilônia.
And Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
21 E o rei da Babilônia os feriu e matou em Ribla, em terra de Hamate. Assim foi transportado Judá de sobre sua terra.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile out of their land.
22 E ao povo que Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia deixou em terra de Judá, pôs por governador a Gedalias, filho de Aicã filho de Safã.
And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
23 E ouvindo todos os príncipes do exército, eles e sua gente, que o rei da Babilônia havia posto por governador a Gedalias, vieram-se a ele em Mispá, a saber, Ismael filho de Netanias, e Joanã filho de Careá, e Seraías filho de Tanumete netofatita, e Jazanias filho do maacatita, eles com os seus subordinados.
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, they and their men.
24 Então Gedalias lhes fez juramento, a eles e aos seus subordinados, e disse-lhes: Não temais de ser servos dos caldeus; habitai na terra, e servi ao rei da Babilônia, e vos irá bem.
And Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will be well with you.
25 Mas no mês sétimo veio Ismael filho de Netanias, filho de Elisama, da família real, e com ele dez homens, e feriram a Gedalias, e morreu, assim como os judeus e os caldeus que estavam com ele em Mispá.
But it happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 E levantando-se todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior, com os capitães do exército, foram-se ao Egito por temor dos caldeus.
And then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 E aconteceu aos trinta e sete anos do cativeiro de Joaquim rei de Judá, no décimo segundo mês, aos vinte e sete do mês, que Evil-Merodaque rei da Babilônia, no primeiro ano de seu reinado, concedeu favor a Joaquim rei de Judá, tirando-o da prisão.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the prison;
28 E falou-lhe bem, e pôs seu assento em posição de maior honra do que o assento dos reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia.
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his chair above the chair of the kings that were with him in Babylon:
29 E mudou-lhe as roupas de sua prisão, e comeu sempre diante dele todos os dias de sua vida.
And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 E foi-lhe continuamente dada a sua subsistência diária da parte do rei, por todos os dias de sua vida.
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
