Jeremiah 52

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
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.	1 Sedecías tenía veintiún años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Jamutal, hija de Jeremías, y era de Libná.
2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.	2 El hizo lo que es malo a los ojos del Señor, tal como lo había hecho Joaquím.
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.	3 Esto sucedió en Jerusalén y en Judá a causa de la ira del Señor, hasta que al fin, él los arrojó lejos de su presencia. Sedecías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
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.	4 El noveno año del reinado de Sedecías, el día diez del décimo mes, Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, llegó con todo su ejército contra Jerusalén. Ellos acamparon frente a la ciudad y la cercaron con una empalizada.
5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.	5 La ciudad estuvo bajo el asedio hasta el año undécimo del rey Sedecías.
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.	6 En el cuarto mes, el día nueve del mes, mientras apretaba el hambre en la ciudad y no había más pan para la gente del país,
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.	7 se abrió una brecha en la ciudad. Entonces huyeron todos los hombres de guerra, saliendo de la ciudad durante la noche, por el camino de la puerta entre las dos murallas que está cerca del jardín del rey; y mientras los caldeos rodeaban la ciudad, ellos tomaron el camino de la Arabá.
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.	8 Las tropas de los caldeos persiguieron al rey, y alcanzaron a Sedecías en las estepas de Jericó, donde se desbandó todo su ejército, dejándolo solo.
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.	9 Los caldeos capturaron al rey y lo hicieron subir hasta Riblá, en el país de Jamat, ante el rey de Babilonia, que dictó sentencia contra él.
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.	10 El rey de Babilonia hizo degollar a los hijos de Sedecías ante sus propios ojos, y también a todos los jefes de Judá, en Riblá.
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.	11 Luego le sacó los ojos a Sedecías y lo ató con una doble cadena de bronce. Así lo llevó a Babilonia, donde lo tuvo prisionero hasta el día de su muerte.
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.	12 El día diez del quinto mes –era el decimonoveno año de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia– Nebuzaradán, comandante de la guardia, que prestaba servicios ante el rey de Babilonia, entró en 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.	13 Incendió la Casa del Señor, la casa del rey y todas las casas de Jerusalén, y prendió fuego a todas las casas de los nobles.
14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.	14 Después, el ejército de los caldeos que estaba con el comandante de la guardia derribó todas las murallas que rodeaban a Jerusalén.
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.	15 Nebuzaradán, el comandante de la guardia, deportó a toda la población que había quedado en la ciudad, a los desertores que se habían pasado al rey de Babilonia y al resto de los artesanos.
16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.	16 Pero dejó una parte de la gente pobre del país como viñadores y cultivadores.
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.	17 Además, los caldeos hicieron pedazos las columnas de bronce de la Casa del Señor, las bases y el Mar de bronce que estaba en la Casa del Señor, y se llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.
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.	18 Tomaron también las ollas, las palas, los cuchillos, los aspersorios, las fuentes y todos los utensilios de bronce que servían para el culto.
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,	19 El comandante de la guardia tomó asimismo las palanganas, los pebeteros, los aspersorios, las ollas, los candelabros, las fuentes y las bandejas: todos los objetos de oro y plata.
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.	20 En cuanto a las dos columnas, al único Mar de bronce, a los doce bueyes de bronce que los sostenían y a las bases que había hecho el rey Salomón para la Casa del Señor, no se podía evaluar el peso de bronce de todos esos objetos.
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.	21 En lo que respecta a las columnas, la altura de una columna era de nueve metros; un hilo de seis metros medía su circunferencia; su espesor era de cuatro dedos, y era hueca por dentro.
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.	22 Estaba rematada por un capitel de bronce, y la altura del capitel era de dos metros y medio. Sobre el capitel, todo alrededor, había una moldura en forma de red y de granadas, todo de bronce. La segunda columna, con sus granadas, era igual a la primera.
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.	23 Había noventa y seis granadas que sobresalían en relieve, y las granadas eran cien en total, alrededor de toda la red.
24 And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.	24 El comandante de la guardia apresó a Seraías, el sumo sacerdote, a Sefanías, el segundo sacerdote, y a los tres guardianes del umbral.
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.	25 En la ciudad apresó también a un eunuco, que estaba al frente de los hombres de guerra, a siete hombres del servicio personal del rey que fueron sorprendidos en la ciudad, al secretario del jefe del ejército, encargado de enrolar al pueblo del país, y a sesenta hombres del pueblo que estaban en medio de la ciudad.
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.	26 Después de tomarlos prisioneros, Nebuzaradán, comandante de la guardia, los llevó ante el rey de Babilonia, a Riblá.
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.	27 El rey de Babilonia los mandó golpear y ejecutar en Riblá, en el país de Jamat. Así fue deportado Judá lejos de su tierra.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;	28 Este es el número de la población deportada por Nabucodonosor: en el séptimo año, 3.023 judíos;
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;	29 en el año decimoctavo de Nabucodonosor, de Jerusalén, 832 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.	30 en el año vigésimo tercero de Nabucodonosor, Nebuzaradán, comandante de la guardia, deportó a 745 judíos. En total: 4.600 personas.
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.	31 El trigésimo séptimo año de la deportación de Joaquín, rey de Judá, el día veinticinco del duodécimo mes, Evil Merodac, rey de Babilonia, en el año de su entronización, indultó a Joaquín, rey de Judá, y lo hizo salir de la prisión.
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.	32 Le habló amigablemente y le asignó un sitial más elevado que el de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.
33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.	33 Le hizo cambiar su ropa de prisionero, y Joaquín comió siempre en su presencia, durante toda 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.	34 Su mantenimiento fue asegurado por el rey de Babilonia con una asignación regular para cada día, hasta el día de su muerte, durante toda su vida.
