BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Veintiún años tenía Sedecías cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó once años en Jerusalén; el nombre de su madre era Jamital, hija de Jeremías, de Libná.	1 Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Hizo el mal a los ojos de Yahveh, enteramente como había hecho Yoyaquim.	2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Esto sucedió a causa de la cólera de Yahveh contra Jerusalén y Judá, hasta que los arrojó de su presencia. Sedecías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.	3 And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
4 En el año noveno de su reinado, en el mes decimo, el diez del mes, vino Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, con todo su ejército, contra Jerusalén, acampó contra ella, y la cercaron con una empalizada.	4 And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
5 La ciudad estuvo sitiada hasta el año once del rey Sedecías.	5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 El mes cuarto, el nueve del mes, cuando arreció el hambre en la ciudad y no había pan para la gente del pueblo,	6 Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.
7 se abrió una brecha en la ciudad y al verlo el rey y todos los guerreros, huyeron de la ciudad saliendo de noche, por el camino de la puerta que está entre los dos muros que dan al jardín del rey, mientras los caldeos estaban alrededor de la ciudad, y se fueron por el camino de la Arabá.	7 And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.
8 Las tropas caldeas persiguieron al rey Sedecías y le dieron alcance en los llanos de Jericó; entonces todo el ejército se dispersó de su lado.	8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.
9 Capturaron al rey y lo subieron a Riblá, en la tierra de Jamat, donde el rey de Babilonia, que le sometió a juicio.	9 And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.
10 Los hijos de Sedecías fueron degollados a su vista, y lo mismo a todos los jefes de Judá degolló en Riblá.	10 And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
11 A Sedecías le sacó los ojos, lo encadenó con cadenas de bronce, y el rey de Babilonia lo llevó a Babilonia, donde lo tuvo en prisión hasta el día de su muerte.	11 And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.
12 En el mes quinto, el diez del mes, en el año diecinueve de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, Nebuzaradán, jefe de la guardia, uno de los que servían ante el rey de Babilonia, vino a Jerusalén.	12 Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
13 Incendió la Casa de Yahveh y la casa del rey y todas las casas de Jerusalén.	13 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
14 Todas las tropas caldeas que había con el jefe de la guardia demolieron las murallas que rodeaban a Jerusalén.	14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
15 Cuanto (a una parte de los pobres del país) al resto del pueblo que quedaba en la ciudad, los desertores que se habían pasado al rey de Babilonia y el resto de los artesanos, Nebuzaradán, jefe de la guardia, los deportó,	15 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Nebuzaradán el jefe de la quardia, dejó algunos de entre la gente pobre como viñadores y labradores.	16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
17 Los caldeos rompieron las columnas de bronce que había en la Casa de Yahveh, las basas, el Mar de bronce de la Casa de Yahveh, y se llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.	17 The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.
18 Tomaron también los ceniceros, las paletas, los cuchillos, los acetres, las cucharas y todos los utensilios de bronce de que se servían.	18 And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
19 El jefe de la guardia tomó las vasijas, los incensarios y los aspersorios, los ceniceros, los candeleros, las cucharas y las tazas, cuanto había de oro y plata.	19 And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,
20 Cuanto a las dos columnas, el Mar, los doce bueyes de bronce que estaban bajo el Mar y las basas que Salomón había hecho para la Casa de Yahveh, no se pudo calcular el peso de bronce de todos aquellos objetos.	20 as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.
21 La altura de una columna era de dieciocho codos, un hilo de doce codos medía su perímetro; su grosor era de cuatro dedos y hera hueca por dentro,	21 Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
22 y encima tenía un capitel de bronce; la altura del capitel era de cinco codos; había un trenzado y granadas en torno al capitel, todo de bronce. Lo mismo para la segunda columna.	22 And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.
23 Había noventa y seis granadas que pendían a los lados. En total había cien granadas rodeando el trenzado.	23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
24 El jefe de la guardia tomó preso a Seraías, primer sacerdote, y a Sefanías, segundo sacerdote, y a los tres encargados del umbral.	24 And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
25 Tomó a un eunuco de la ciudad, que era inspector de los hombres de guerra, siete hombres de los cortesanos del rey, que se encontraban en la ciudad, al secretario del jefe del ejército, encargado del alistamiento del pueblo de la tierra y sesenta hombres de la tierra que se hallaban en la ciudad.	25 He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradán, jefe de la guardia, los tomó y los llevó a Riblá, donde el rey de Babilonia,	26 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 y el rey de Babilonia los hirió haciéndoles morir en Riblá, en el país de Jamat. Así fue deportado Judá, lejos de su tierra.	27 And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
28 Este es el número de los deportados por Nabucodonosor. El año séptimo: 3.023 de Judá;	28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 el año dieciocho de Nabucodonosor fueron llevadas de Jerusalén 832 personas;	29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
30 el año veintitrés de Nabucodonosor, Nebuzaradán, jefe de la guardia, deportó a 745 de Judá. En total: 4.600 personas.	30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 En el año treinta y seis de la deportación de Joaquín, rey de Judá, en el mes doce, el veinticinco del mes, Evil Merodak, rey de Babilonia, hizo gracia en el año en que comenzó a reinar, a Joaquín, rey de Judá, y lo sacó de la cárcel.	31 And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
32 Le habló con benevolencia y le dio un asiento superior al asiento de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.	32 And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
33 Joaquín se quitó sus vestidos de prisión y comió siempre en la mesa del rey, todos los días de su vida.	33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
34 Le fue dado constantemente su sustento de parte del rey de Babilonia, día tras día, hasta el día de su muerte, todos los días de su vida.	34 And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
