< 2 Reis 25 >
1 No nono ano de seu reinado, no décimo mês, no décimo dia do mês, veio Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, ele e todo seu exército, contra Jerusalém, e se acamparam contra ela; e construíram fortes contra ela em torno dela.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it. And they built forts against it round about.
2 Assim a cidade foi sitiada até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 No nono dia do quarto mês, a fome era severa na cidade, de modo que não havia pão para o povo da terra.
On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Então foi feita uma brecha na cidade, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram à noite pelo caminho do portão entre os dois muros, que ficava junto ao jardim do rei (agora os caldeus estavam contra a cidade ao redor); e o rei foi pelo caminho do Arabah.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about), and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Mas o exército caldeu perseguiu o rei e o alcançou nas planícies de Jericó; e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.
6 Então capturaram o rei e o levaram até o rei da Babilônia para Ribla; e o julgaram.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And they gave judgment upon him.
7 Eles mataram os filhos de Zedequias diante de seus olhos, depois arrancaram os olhos de Zedequias, amarraram-no em grilhões e o levaram para Babilônia.
And they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Agora no quinto mês, no sétimo dia do mês, que era o décimo nono ano do rei Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda, servo do rei da Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 Ele queimou a casa de Javé, a casa do rei, e todas as casas de Jerusalém. Ele queimou todas as grandes casas com fogo.
And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
10 Todo o exército dos caldeus, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derrubou os muros ao redor de Jerusalém.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda levou cativo o resto do povo que ficou na cidade e aqueles que tinham desertado para o rei da Babilônia - todo o resto da multidão.
And the remnant of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive.
12 Mas o capitão da guarda deixou alguns dos mais pobres da terra para trabalhar os vinhedos e os campos.
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Os caldeus quebraram os pilares de bronze que estavam na casa de Yahweh e as bases e o mar de bronze que estavam na casa de Yahweh, e levaram as peças de bronze para a Babilônia.
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 O capitão da guarda tirou as panelas de fogo, as bacias, o que era de ouro, para o ouro, e o que era de prata, para a prata.
And the captain of the guard took away the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
16 Os dois pilares, o único mar, e as bases, que Salomão havia feito para a casa de Yahweh, o bronze de todas estas embarcações não foi pesado.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 A altura de um pilar era de dezoito côvados, e sobre ele havia um capital de bronze. A altura do capital era de três côvados, com rede e romãs na capital ao redor, tudo de bronze; e o segundo pilar com sua rede era como estes.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it. And the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass. And the second pillar had like these with network.

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.
19 e da cidade ele levou um oficial que foi colocado sobre os homens de guerra; e cinco homens daqueles que viram o rosto do rei, que foram encontrados na cidade; e o escriba, o capitão do exército, que reuniu o povo da terra, e sessenta homens do povo da terra, que foram encontrados na cidade.

20 Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda os levou e os trouxe ao rei da Babilônia para Riblah.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 O rei da Babilônia os atacou e os matou em Riblah, na terra de Hamath. Então Judá foi levado cativo para fora de sua terra.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Quanto ao povo que ficou na terra de Judá, que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia deixado, até mesmo sobre eles fez de Gedalias o filho de Ahikam, o filho de Shaphan, governador.
And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them.
23 Agora quando todos os capitães das forças, eles e seus homens, ouviram que o rei da Babilônia havia feito Gedalias governador, vieram a Gedalias para Mizpá, até mesmo Ismael, filho de Netanias, Johananan, filho de Kareah, Seraías, filho de Tanhumeth, o netofatita, e Jaazanias, filho do maacatita, eles e seus homens.

24 Gedaliah jurou a eles e a seus homens, e lhes disse: “Não tenham medo por causa dos servos dos caldeus. Habitem na terra e sirvam o rei da Babilônia, e estará bem com vocês”.
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Mas no sétimo mês, veio Ismael, filho de Nethaniah, filho de Elishama, da descendência real, e dez homens com ele, e atingiu Gedaliah para que ele morresse, com os judeus e os caldeus que estavam com ele em Mizpah.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Todo o povo, tanto pequeno quanto grande, e os capitães das forças se levantaram e vieram ao Egito; pois tinham medo dos caldeus.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
