II Livro dos Reis 25

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 No ano nono de seu reinado, no décimo dia do décimo mês, Nabucodonosor veio com todo o seu exército contra Jerusalém; levantou seu acampamento diante da cidade e fez aterros em redor dela.	1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: end raised works round about it.
2 O cerco da cidade durou até o décimo primeiro ano do reinado de Sedecias.	2 And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 No nono dia do {quarto} mês, como a cidade se visse apertada pela fome e a população não tivesse mais o que comer,	3 The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 fizeram uma brecha na muralha da cidade, e todos os homens de guerra fugiram de noite pelo caminho da porta que está entre os dois muros, junto do jardim do rei. Entretanto, os caldeus cercavam a cidade. Os fugitivos tomaram o caminho da planície do Jordão,	4 And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king's garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about,) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 mas o exército dos caldeus perseguiu o rei e alcançou-o nas planícies de Jericó. Então as tropas de Sedecias o abandonaram e se dispersaram.	5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 O rei foi preso e conduzido a Rebla, diante do rei de Babilônia, o qual pronunciou sentença contra ele.	6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Degolou na presença de Sedecias os seus filhos, furou-lhe os olhos e o levou para Babilônia ligado com duas cadeias de bronze.	7 And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 No sétimo dia do quinto mês, no décimo nono ano do reinado de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, Nabuzardã, chefe da guarda e servo do rei de Babilônia, entrou em Jerusalém.	8 In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 Incendiou o templo do Senhor, o palácio real e todas as casas da cidade.	9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 E as tropas que acompanhavam o chefe da guarda demoliram o muro que cercava Jerusalém.	10 And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Nabuzardã, chefe da guarda, deportou para Babilônia o que restava da população da cidade, os que já se tinham rendido ao rei de Babilônia e todo o povo que restava.	11 And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 O chefe da guarda só deixou ali alguns pobres como viticultores e agricultores.	12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Os caldeus quebraram as colunas de bronze do templo do Senhor, os pedestais e o mar de bronze que estavam no templo, e levaram o metal para Babilônia.	13 And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Tomaram também os cinzeiros, as pás, as facas, os vasos e todos os objetos de bronze que se usavam no culto.	14 They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 O chefe da guarda levou também os turíbulos e os vasos, tudo quanto era de ouro, e tudo quanto era de prata.	15 Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
16 Quanto às duas colunas, ao mar e aos pedestais que Salomão mandara fazer para o templo do Senhor, não se poderia calcular o peso do bronze de todos esses objetos.	16 That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Uma das colunas tinha dezoito côvados de altura, e sobre ela descansava um capitel de bronze de três côvados; em volta do capitel da coluna havia uma rede e romãs, tudo de bronze. A segunda coluna era semelhante, com sua rede.	17 One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 O chefe da guarda levou também o sumo sacerdote Saraías, Sofonias, segundo sacerdote, e os três porteiros.	18 And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 Tomou na cidade um eunuco que era encarregado de comandar os homens de guerra, cinco homens do pessoal do rei que encontrou na cidade, e o escriba, chefe do exército, encarregado do recrutamento na terra, assim como sessenta homens da terra, que foram encontrados na cidade.	19 And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Nabuzardã, chefe da guarda, prendeu-os e levou-os ao rei de Babilônia em Rebla,	20 These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 e este mandou executá-los em Rebla, na. terra de Emat. Assim , foi Judá deportado para longe de sua terra.	21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
22 Quanto ao resto da população que Nabucodonosor tinha deixado na terra de Judá, ele a entregou ao governo de Godolias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã.	22 But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
23 Quando os chefes do exército e seus homens souberam que o rei de Babilônia tinha nomeado Godolias como governador, foram ter com ele em Masfa. Eram: Ismael, filho de Natanias, Joanã, filho de Carée, Saraías, filho de Taneumet, de Netofa, e Jezonias, filho de Macati, eles e os seus homens.	23 And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 Godolias declarou, sob juramento, a eles e aos seus homens: Nada tendes a temer dos caldeus. Ficai na terra, submetei-vos ao rei de Babilônia e tudo vos correrá bem.	24 And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying : Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Mas no sétimo mês, Ismael, filho de Natanias, filho de Elisama, de linhagem real, veio com dez homens e assassinaram Godolias, matando ao mesmo tempo os judeus e os caldeus que estavam com ele em Masfa.	25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 Então todo o povo, desde o menor até o maior, como também os chefes das tropas, fugiram para o Egito com medo dos caldeus.	26 And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 No trigésimo sétimo ano do cativeiro de Joaquin, rei de Judá, no vigésimo sétimo dia do décimo segundo mês, Evil-Merodac, rei de Babilônia, no primeiro ano de seu reinado, fez graça a Joaquin, rei de Judá, e pô-lo em liberdade.	27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 Falou-lhe benignamente e deu-lhe um trono mais elevado que os dos reis que estavam com ele em Babilônia.	28 And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 Mudou-lhe as vestes de prisioneiro e, até o fim de sua vida, Joaquin comeu à mesa do rei de Babilônia.	29 And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 E o seu sustento diário foi assegurado pelo rei durante todo o tempo de sua vida.	30 And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
