SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
2 O cerco da cidade durou até o décimo primeiro ano do reinado de Sedecias.	2 And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
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 on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there 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 the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads 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 Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
6 O rei foi preso e conduzido a Rebla, diante do rei de Babilônia, o qual pronunciou sentença contra ele.	6 Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
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 Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away 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, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
9 Incendiou o templo do Senhor, o palácio real e todas as casas da cidade.	9 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
10 E as tropas que acompanhavam o chefe da guarda demoliram o muro que cercava Jerusalém.	10 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
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 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled 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 he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
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 Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass 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 Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
15 O chefe da guarda levou também os turíbulos e os vasos, tudo quanto era de ouro, e tudo quanto era de prata.	15 And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
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 and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
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 had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
18 O chefe da guarda levou também o sumo sacerdote Saraías, Sofonias, segundo sacerdote, e os três porteiros.	18 Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, 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 from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
20 Nabuzardã, chefe da guarda, prendeu-os e levou-os ao rei de Babilônia em Rebla,	20 Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
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 struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his 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 who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
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 commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
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 Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain 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 happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
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, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
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 Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from 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 who were with him at 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 that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
30 E o seu sustento diário foi assegurado pelo rei durante todo o tempo de sua vida.	30 Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
