Jeremías 52
1 Sedequías tenía 21 años de edad cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Hamutal, hija de Jeremías de Libna.
One and twenty years was Zedekiah old when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Yavé, tal como hizo Joacim,
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Jehoyakim had done.
3 porque a causa de la ira de Yavé sucedió eso en Jerusalén y Judá, hasta que los echó de su Presencia. Pero Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass against Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out of his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 En el noveno año de su reinado, el mes décimo, a los diez días del mes, Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, llegó con todo su ejército contra Jerusalén. Acampó contra ella y levantaron torres de asedio alrededor.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they encamped against it, and built against it works of attack round about.
5 La ciudad estuvo sitiada hasta el año 11 del rey Sedequías.
So the city was placed in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 El mes cuarto, a los nueve días del mes, el hambre era aguda en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para la población.
And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, when the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land:
7 Entonces, mientras los caldeos rodeaban la ciudad, se abrió una brecha en la ciudad. Los guerreros huyeron de noche por la puerta [ubicada] entre los dos muros, junto a los jardines reales, y salieron rumbo al Arabá.
The city was broken in, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was near the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were round about the city; ] and they went by the way of the plain.
8 Pero el ejército caldeo persiguió al rey. Alcanzaron a Sedequías en los llanos de Jericó, mientras todo su ejército, ya disperso, lo abandonaba.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Detuvieron al rey, y se lo llevaron al rey de Babilonia, quien estaba en Ribla, en tierra de Hamat, donde pronunció sentencia contra él.
And they caught the king, and they brought him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.
10 El rey de Babilonia degolló a los hijos de Sedequías ante sus propios ojos. También degolló a todos los magistrados de Judá en Ribla.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: and also all the princes of Judah did he slaughter in Riblah.
11 El rey de Babilonia le sacó los ojos a Sedequías y le puso grillos. Mandó llevarlo a Babilonia y lo metió en la cárcel hasta el día cuando murió.
And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and the king of Babylon bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in the ward-house till the day of his death.
12 El mes quinto, a los diez días del mes, año 19 del reinado de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, llegó a Jerusalén Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia que servía en la presencia del rey de Babilonia.
And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, [who] served the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
13 Quemó la Casa de Yavé, el palacio real y todas las casas de Jerusalén. Destruyó con fuego todo edificio grande.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, did he burn with fire:
14 El ejército caldeo, a las órdenes del capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros alrededor de Jerusalén.
And all the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, pull down.
15 Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, se llevó en cautividad una parte de la gente humilde del pueblo, el remanente de la población que quedó en la ciudad, junto con los desertores que se habían pasado al rey de Babilonia y el resto de los artesanos.
And certain of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that had been left in the city, and the deserters, that had run away to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile.
16 Pero Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, dejó a los más pobres del pueblo como viñadores y labradores asalariados.
But certain of the poorest of the land did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
17 Los caldeos rompieron en pedazos las columnas de bronce, las basas y el mar de bronce que estaban en la Casa de Yavé. Se llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.
Also 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, and they carried off all their copper to Babylon.
18 Se llevaron también los calderos, las palas, las despabiladeras, los tazones, las cucharas y todos los utensilios de bronce con los cuales se ministraba.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they used to perform the service, did they take away.
19 10 apitán de la guardia tomó también los incensarios, los tazones, las copas, las ollas, los candelabros, las escudillas y las tazas, los cuales eran de oro puro y de plata pura.
And the basins, and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the purifying-tubes: of what was of gold the gold, and of what was of silver the silver, did the captain of the guard take away.
20 Era incalculable el peso del bronce de las dos columnas, el mar y los 12 bueyes de bronce que sostenían el mar que el rey Salomón hizo para la Casa de Yavé.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve copper oxen that served instead of the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels could not be weighed.
21 En cuanto a las columnas, la altura de cada una era de 8,1 metros. Su circunferencia medía un cordel de 5,4 metros y su espesor era de 7,2 centímetros, pues eran huecas.
And as regardeth the pillars, eighteen cubits was the height of each one pillar; and a thread of twelve cubits would compass it; and its thickness was four fingers: it was hollow.
22 Un capitel de bronce coronaba cada columna. La altura del capitel era de 2,25 metros, con una obra de malla y granadas en su alrededor, todo de bronce. La segunda columna era de iguales dimensiones, con sus granadas.
And a capital was upon it of copper; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of copper. And the like was the case with the second pillar and the pomegranates.
23 Había 96 granadas en cada hilera. Sobre la malla alrededor del capitel había un total de 100 granadas.
And the pomegranates were ninety and six on every side: all the pomegranates upon the network were one hundred round about.
24 El capitán de la guardia capturó después a Seraías, el sumo sacerdote, y a Sofonías, el segundo sacerdote, junto con los tres guardianes del patio.
And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief priest, and Zephanyah the priest second in rank, and the three door-keepers;
25 De los de la ciudad tomó a cierto servidor del palacio que tenía a su cargo los guerreros, a siete hombres del servicio personal del rey que fueron hallados en la ciudad, al escriba principal de la milicia, que hacía la recluta de la gente de la tierra, y a 60 hombres del pueblo que se hallaron dentro de la ciudad.
And out of the city he took a certain court-officer, who had the supervision of the men of war: and seven men of those that had free access to the kings 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 midst of the city;
26 Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los capturó y los llevó ante el rey de Babilonia en Ribla.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and led them away unto the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 El rey de Babilonia los atacó y los mató en Ribla, en tierra de Hamat. Así Judá fue llevado en cautividad, fuera de su tierra.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Chamath. Thus Judah was carried away into exile out of his own country.
28 Éste es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor llevó cautivo: el año séptimo, a 3.033 hombres de Judá,
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away into exile: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty and three Jews;
29 el año 18 de Nabucodonosor, a 832 personas de Jerusalén;
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons;
30 el año 23 de Nabucodonosor, a 745 personas de Judá por Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia. Hubo un total de 4.600 personas.
In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31 El año 37 del cautiverio de Joaquín, rey de Judá, el mes 12, a los 25 días del mes, sucedió que Evil-merodac, rey de Babilonia, el año primero de su reinado, indultó a Joaquín, rey de Judá, y lo sacó de la cárcel.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the exile of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the five and twentieth day of the month that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, and brought him forth out of the prison-house;
32 Le habló amigablemente e hizo poner su sitial por encima de los otros reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.
And he spoke kindly with him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 Le mudó también la ropa de prisionero. Comió siempre en la mesa del rey todos los días de su vida.
And he changed his prison-garments: and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Continuamente se le daba una ración de parte del rey de Babilonia para cada día durante todos los días de su vida, hasta el día de su muerte.
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
