1 Z edekiah was one and twenty 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.

Zedequias tinha vinte e um anos quando se tornou rei, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.

2 A nd he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

Ele fez o que o Senhor reprova, assim como fez Jeoaquim.

3 F or through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

A ira do Senhor havia sido provocada em Jerusalém e em Judá de tal forma que ele teve que tirá-los da sua presença. Zedequias se rebelou contra o rei da Babilônia.

4 A nd it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

Então, no nono ano do reinado de Zedequias, no décimo mês, Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, marchou contra Jerusalém com todo o seu exército. Acamparam fora da cidade e construíram torres de assalto ao redor dela.

5 S o the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

A cidade ficou sob cerco até o décimo primeiro ano do rei Zedequias.

6 I n the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

Ao chegar o nono dia do quarto mês a fome era tão severa que não havia comida para o povo.

7 T hen a breach was made in the city, 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 by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about;) and they went toward the Arabah.

Então o muro da cidade foi rompido. O rei e todos os soldados fugiram e saíram da cidade, à noite, na direção do jardim real, pela porta entre os dois muros, embora os babilônios estivessem cercando a cidade. Foram para a Arabá,

8 B ut the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

mas os babilônios perseguiram o rei Zedequias e o alcançaram na planície de Jericó. Todos os seus soldados se separaram dele e se dispersaram,

9 T hen they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.

e ele foi capturado. Ele foi levado ao rei da Babilônia em Ribla, na terra de Hamate, que o sentenciou.

10 A nd the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

Em Ribla, o rei da Babilônia mandou executar os filhos de Zedequias diante de seus olhos, e também matou todos os nobres de Judá.

11 A nd 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 till the day of his death.

Então mandou furar os olhos de Zedequias e prendê-lo com correntes de bronze e o levou para a Babilônia, onde o manteve na prisão até o dia de sua morte.

12 N ow in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:

No décimo dia do quinto mês, no décimo nono ano de Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, Nebuzaradã, comandante da guarda imperial, que servia o rei da Babilônia, veio a Jerusalém.

13 a nd he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.

Ele incendiou o templo do Senhor, o palácio real e todas as casas de Jerusalém. Todos os edifícios importantes foram incendiados por ele.

14 A nd all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

O exército babilônio, sob o comandante da guarda imperial, derrubou todos os muros em torno de Jerusalém.

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

Nebuzaradã deportou para a Babilônia alguns dos mais pobres e o povo que restou na cidade, juntamente com o restante dos artesãos e aqueles que tinham se rendido ao rei da Babilônia.

16 B ut Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

Mas Nebuzaradã deixou para trás o restante dos mais pobres da terra para trabalhar nas vinhas e campos.

17 A nd 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, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

Os babilônios despedaçaram as colunas de bronze, os estrados móveis e o mar de bronze que ficavam no templo do Senhor e levaram todo o bronze para a Babilônia.

18 T he pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

Também levaram embora as panelas, pás, tesouras de pavio, bacias de aspersão, tigelas e todos os utensílios de bronze usados no serviço do templo.

19 A nd the cups, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls-that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,- the captain of the guard took away.

O comandante da guarda imperial levou embora as pias, os incensários, as bacias de aspersão, as panelas, os candeeiros, as tigelas e as bacias usadas para as ofertas derramadas, tudo que era feito de ouro puro ou de prata.

20 T he two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah-the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

O bronze tirado das duas colunas, o mar e os doze touros de bronze debaixo dele, e os estrados móveis, que o rei Salomão fizera para o templo do Senhor, eram mais do que se podia pesar.

21 A nd as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

Cada uma das colunas tinha oito metros e dez centímetros de altura e cinco metros e quarenta centímetros de circunferência; cada uma tinha quadro dedos de espessura e era oca.

22 A nd a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.

O capitel de bronze no alto de uma coluna tinha dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura e era ornamentado com uma peça entrelaçada e romãs de bronze em volta, tudo de bronze. A outra coluna, com suas romãs, era igual.

23 A nd there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.

Havia noventa e seis romãs nos lados; o número total de romãs acima da peça entrelaçada ao redor era de cem.

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

O comandante da guarda tomou como prisioneiros o sumo sacerdote Seraías, o sacerdote adjunto Sofonias e os três guardas das portas.

25 a nd out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king's face, that were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

Dos que ainda estavam na cidade, tomou o oficial encarregado dos homens de combate e sete conselheiros reais. Também tomou o secretário, que era o oficial maior encarregado do alistamento do povo da terra, e sessenta de seus homens que foram encontrados na cidade.

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

O comandante Nebuzaradã tomou todos eles e os levou ao rei da Babilônia em Ribla.

27 A nd 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.

Ali, em Ribla, na terra de Hamate, o rei fez com que fossem executados. Assim Judá foi para o cativeiro, longe de sua terra.

28 T his is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;

Este é o número dos que Nebuzaradã levou para o exílio: No sétimo ano, 3. 023 judeus;

29 i n the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;

no décimo oitavo ano de Nabucodonosor, 832 de Jerusalém;

30 i n the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

em seu vigésimo terceiro ano, 745 judeus levados ao exílio pelo comandante da guarda imperial, Nebuzaradã. Foram ao todo 4. 600 judeus. Joaquim é Libertado

31 A nd it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

No trigésimo sétimo ano do exílio do rei Joaquim de Judá, no ano em que Evil-Merodaque tornou-se rei de Babilônia, ele libertou Joaquim, rei de Judá, da prisão no vigésimo quinto dia do décimo segundo mês.

32 a nd he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

Ele falou bondosamente com ele e deu-lhe um assento de honra mais elevado do que os dos outros reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia.

33 a nd changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:

Desse modo Joaquim tirou as roupas da prisão e pelo resto da vida comeu à mesa do rei.

34 a nd for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

O rei da Babilônia deu a Joaquim uma pensão diária até o dia de sua morte.
