Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo o que fizera Jeoiaquim.

He also did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 P ois por causa da ira do Senhor, chegou-se a tal ponto em Jerusalém e Judá que ele os lançou da sua presença. E Zedequias rebelou-se contra o rei de Babilônia.

For because of the anger of the Lord this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, till He finally cast them out from His presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 N o ano nono do seu reinado, no mês décimo, no décimo dia do mês, veio Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, contra Jerusalém, ele e todo o seu exército, e se acamparam contra ela, e contra ela levantaram tranqueiras ao redor.

Now it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around.

5 A ssim esteve cercada a cidade, até o ano undécimo do rei Zedequias.

So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

6 N o quarto mês, aos nove do mês, a fome prevalecia na cidade, de tal modo que não havia pão para o povo da terra.

By the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the famine had become so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

7 E ntão foi aberta uma brecha na cidade; e todos os homens de guerra fugiram, e saíram da cidade de noite, pelo caminho da porta entre os dois muros, a qual está junto ao jardim do rei, enquanto os caldeus estavam ao redor da cidade; e foram pelo caminho da Arabá.

Then the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled and went out of the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were near the city all around. And they went by way of the plain.

8 M as o exército dos caldeus perseguiu o rei, e alcançou a Zedequias nas campinas de Jericó; e todo o seu exército se espalhou, abandonando-o.

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. All his army was scattered from him.

9 P renderam o rei, e o fizeram subir ao rei de Babilônia a Ribla na terra de Hamate, o qual lhe pronunciou a sentença.

So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment on him.

10 E o rei de Babilônia matou os filhos de Zedequias ã sua vista; e também matou a todos os príncipes de Judá em Ribla.

Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. And he killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 E cegou os olhos a Zedequias; e o atou com cadeias; e o rei de Babilônia o levou para Babilônia, e o conservou na prisão até o dia da sua morte.

He also put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in bronze fetters, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. The Temple and City Plundered and Burned

12 N o quinto mês, no décimo dia do mês, que era o décimo nono ano do rei Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, que assistia na presença do rei de Babilônia.

Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month (which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.

13 E queimou a casa do Senhor, e a casa do rei; como também a todas as casas de Jerusalém, todas as casas importantes, ele as incendiou.

He burned the house of the Lord and the king’s house; all the houses of Jerusalem, that is, all the houses of the great, he burned with fire.

The bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.

18 T ambém tomaram as caldeiras, as pás, as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres, e todos os utensílios de bronze, com que se ministrava.

They also took away the pots, the shovels, the trimmers, the bowls, the spoons, and all the bronze utensils with which the priests ministered.

21 D essas colunas, a altura de cada um era de dezoito côvados; doze côvados era a medida da sua circunferência; e era a sua espessura de quatro dedos; e era oca.

Now concerning the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, a measuring line of twelve cubits could measure its circumference, and its thickness was four fingers; it was hollow.

22 E havia sobre ela um capitel de bronze; e a altura dum capitel era de cinco côvados, com uma rede e romãs sobre o capitel ao redor, tudo de bronze; e a segunda coluna tinha as mesmas coisas com as romãs.

A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with a network and pomegranates all around the capital, all of bronze. The second pillar, with pomegranates was the same.

23 E havia noventa e seis romãs aos lados; as romãs todas, sobre a rede ao redor eram cem.

There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates, all around on the network, were one hundred. The People Taken Captive to Babylonia

And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took these and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
