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, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 Assim a cidade foi sitiada até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 No nono dia do quarto mês, a fome era severa na cidade, de modo que não havia pão para o povo da terra.
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and 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.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Mas o exército caldeu perseguiu o rei e o alcançou nas planícies de Jericó; e todo o seu exército se dispersou dele.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Então capturaram o rei e o levaram até o rei da Babilônia para Ribla; e o julgaram.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he 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 he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought 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.
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into 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 the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every 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 Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, 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 Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Mas o capitão da guarda deixou alguns dos mais pobres da terra para trabalhar os vinhedos e os campos.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines 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 temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Eles tiraram as panelas, as pás, os rapé, as colheres e todos os vasos de bronze com os quais ministraram.
They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, 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.
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
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.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: 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.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 O capitão da guarda levou Seraías, o sacerdote chefe, Sofonias, o segundo sacerdote, e os três guardas do umbral;
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
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.
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda os levou e os trouxe ao rei da Babilônia para Riblah.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
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 slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their 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.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
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.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
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 Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay 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 Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
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 little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 No trigésimo sétimo ano do cativeiro de Joaquim, rei de Judá, no décimo segundo mês, no vigésimo sétimo dia do mês, Evilmerodach, rei da Babilônia, no ano em que começou a reinar, libertou Joaquim, rei de Judá, da prisão,
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 e falou gentilmente com ele e colocou seu trono acima do trono dos reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia,
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 e mudou suas vestes de prisão. Jehoiachin comeu pão diante dele continuamente todos os dias de sua vida;
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 e para sua mesada, houve uma mesada contínua dada pelo rei, todos os dias uma porção, todos os dias de sua vida.
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
