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.
It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
2 E esteve a cidade cercado até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
3 Aos nove do mês prevaleceu a fome na cidade, que não houve pão para o povo da terra.
On the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food 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.
Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went in the direction of the Arabah.
5 E o exército dos caldeus seguiu o rei, e tomou-o nas planícies de Jericó, e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
6 Tomado, pois, o rei, trouxeram-no ao rei da Babilônia a Ribla, e proferiram contra ele sentença.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
7 E degolaram aos filhos de Zedequias em sua presença; e a Zedequias tiraram os olhos, e acorrentado com correntes levaram-no à Babilônia.
As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought 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.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to 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.
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
10 E todo o exército dos caldeus que estava com o capitão da guarda, derrubou os muros de Jerusalém ao redor.
As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
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.
As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
12 Mas dos pobres da terra deixou Nebuzaradã, capitão dos da guarda, para que lavrassem as vinhas e as terras.
But the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
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.
As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back 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.
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all 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;
The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
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 sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could 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.
The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
18 Tomou então o capitão dos da guarda a Seraías o sacerdote principal, e a Sofonias o segundo sacerdote, e três guardas da porta;
The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
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,
From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
20 Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, tomou-os e os levou a Ribla, ao rei da Babilônia.
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at 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.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
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.
As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
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.
Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—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.
Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go 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 that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians who 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.
Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
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.
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
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.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who 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.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life.
30 E foi-lhe continuamente dada a sua subsistência diária da parte do rei, por todos os dias de sua vida.
A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
