II Livro dos Reis 24

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Durante o reinado de Joaquim, Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, subiu contra Joaquim, que se tornou seu vassalo por três anos. Depois revoltou-se contra ele.	1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 O Senhor mandou contra ele os bandos dos caldeus, dos sírios, dos moabitas e dos amonitas, e lançou-os contra Judá para o destruírem, conforme ele havia anunciado pela boca dos profetas, seus servos.	2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 Isso aconteceu realmente por ordem do Senhor, para afastá-lo de sua presença, por causa dos pecados cometidos por Manassés,	3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 e por causa do sangue inocente que ele tinha derramado, chegando a inundar Jerusalém de sangue inocente. E o Senhor não quis perdoar.	4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 O resto da história de Joaquim, seus atos e grandes feitos, tudo se acha consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá.	5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 Joaquim adormeceu com seus pais e seu filho Joaquin sucedeu-lhe no trono.	6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 O rei do Egito cessou então suas expedições fora de sua terra, porque o rei de Babilônia se tinha apoderado de todas as possessões do rei do Egito, desde a torrente do Egito até o Eufrates.	7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Joaquin tinha dezoito anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou durante três meses em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Noesta, filha de Elnatã, e era natural de Jerusalém.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, como o tinha feito seu pai.	9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 Foi nesse tempo que vieram os homens de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, contra Jerusalém, e sitiaram-na.	10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 Depois, Nabucodonosor veio pessoalmente diante da cidade, enquanto suas tropas a sitiavam.	11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 Joaquin, rei de Judá, foi ter com o rei de Babilônia, ele e sua mãe, suas tropas, seus oficiais e seus eunucos; e o rei de Babilônia o prendeu. Isso foi no oitavo ano de seu reinado.	12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 E como o Senhor tinha anunciado, levou dali todos os tesouros do templo do Senhor e do palácio real, e quebrou todos os objetos de ouro que Salomão, rei de Israel, tinha feito para o santuário do Senhor.	13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 Levou para o cativeiro toda a Jerusalém, todos os chefes e todos os homens de valor, ao todo dez mil, com todos os ferreiros e artífices; só deixou os pobres.	14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Deportou Joaquin para Babilônia, com sua mãe, suas mulheres, os eunucos do rei e os grandes da terra.	15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 Todos os homens de valor, em número de sete mil, os ferreiros e os artífices, em número de mil, e todos os homens aptos para a guerra, o rei de Babilônia os deportou para Babilônia.	16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 Em lugar de Joaquin, o rei de Babilônia constituiu rei seu tio Matanias, cujo nome mudou para Sedecias.	17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 Sedecias tinha vinte e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou durante onze anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Amital, filha de Jeremias, e era natural de Lobna.	18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor como o tinha feito Joaquin.	19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Assim aconteceu a Jerusalém e a Judá, porque o Senhor queria, em sua cólera, rejeitá-los de sua presença. Sedecias revoltou-se contra o rei de Babilônia.	20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
