1 E ra Zedequias da idade de vinte e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and 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 did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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 through Yahweh’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. 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.

In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

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

So the city was besieged to 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.

In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread 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 a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city 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 all around;) and they went toward the Arabah.

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 overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and 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.

Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave 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.

The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also 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 put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

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, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into 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.

and he burned Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.

14 E todo o exército dos caldeus, que estava com o capitão da guarda, derribou todos os muros que rodeavam Jerusalém.

All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

15 E os mais pobres do povo, e o resto do povo que tinha ficado na cidade, e os desertores que se haviam passado para o rei de Babilônia, e o resto dos artífices, Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, levou-os cativos.

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

16 M as dos mais pobres da terra Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, deixou ficar alguns, para serem vinhateiros e lavradores.

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

17 O s caldeus despedaçaram as colunas de bronze que estavam na casa do Senhor, e as bases, e o mar de bronze, que estavam na casa do Senhor, e levaram todo o bronze para Babilônia.

The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in Yahweh’s house, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house in pieces, and carried all of their brass 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 snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.

19 D e igual modo o capitão da guarda levou os copos, os braseiros, as bacias, as caldeiras, os castiçais, as colheres, e as tigelas. O que era de ouro, levou como ouro, e o que era de prata, como prata.

The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

20 Q uanto

They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.

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.

As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; 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 brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.

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 were one hundred on the network all around.

24 L evou também o capitão da guarda a Seraías, o principal sacerdote, e a Sofonias, o segundo sacerdote, e os três guardas da porta;

The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

25 e da cidade levou um oficial que tinha a seu cargo os homens de guerra; e a sete homens dos que assistiam ao rei e que se achavam na cidade; como também o escrivão-mor do exército, que registrava o povo da terra; e mais sessenta homens do povo da terra que se achavam no meio da cidade.

and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.

26 T omando-os pois Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, levou-os ao rei de Babilônia, a Ribla.

Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27 E o rei de Babilônia os feriu e os matou em Ribla, na terra de Hamate. Assim Judá foi levado cativo para fora da sua terra.

The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
