1 Nos seus dias subiu Nabucodonosor, rei de babilônia, e Jeoiaquim ficou três anos seu servo; depois se virou, e se rebelou contra ele.
2 E o Senhor enviou contra ele as tropas dos caldeus, as tropas dos sírios, as tropas dos moabitas e as tropas dos filhos de Amom; e as enviou contra Judá, para o destruir, conforme a palavra do Senhor, que falara pelo ministério de seus servos, os profetas.
3 E, na verdade, conforme o mandado do Senhor, assim sucedeu a Judá, para o afastar da sua presença por causa dos pecados de Manassés, conforme tudo quanto fizera.
4 Como também por causa do sangue inocente que derramou; pois encheu a Jerusalém de sangue inocente; e por isso o Senhor não quis perdoar.
5 Ora, o mais dos atos de Jeoiaquim, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escrito no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
6 E Jeoiaquim dormiu com seus pais; e Joaquim, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
7 E o rei do Egito nunca mais saiu da sua terra; porque o rei de babilônia tomou tudo quanto era do rei do Egito, desde o rio do Egito até ao rio Eufrates.
8 Tinha Joaquim dezoito anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou três meses em Jerusalém; e era o nome de sua mãe, Neusta, filha de Elnatã, de Jerusalém.
9 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizera seu pai.
10 Naquele tempo subiram os servos de Nabucodonosor, rei de babilônia, a Jerusalém; e a cidade foi cercada.
11 Também veio Nabucodonosor, rei de babilônia, contra a cidade, quando já os seus servos a estavam sitiando.
12 Então saiu Joaquim, rei de Judá, ao rei de babilônia, ele, sua mãe, seus servos, seus príncipes e seus oficiais; e o rei de babilônia o tomou preso, no ano oitavo do seu reinado.
13 E tirou dali todos os tesouros da casa do Senhor e os tesouros da casa do rei; e partiu todos os vasos de ouro, que fizera Salomão, rei de Israel, no templo do Senhor, como o Senhor tinha falado.
14 E transportou a toda a Jerusalém como também a todos os príncipes, e a todos os homens valorosos, dez mil presos, e a todos os artífices e ferreiros; ninguém ficou senão o povo pobre da terra.
15 Assim transportou Joaquim à babilônia; como também a mãe do rei, as mulheres do rei, os seus oficiais e os poderosos da terra levou presos de Jerusalém à babilônia.
16 E todos os homens valentes, até sete mil, e artífices e ferreiros até mil, e todos os homens destros na guerra, a estes o rei de babilônia levou presos para babilônia.
17 E o rei de babilônia estabeleceu a Matanias, seu tio, rei em seu lugar; e lhe mudou o nome para Zedequias.
18 Tinha Zedequias vinte e um anos de idade quando começou a reinar, e reinou onze anos em Jerusalém; e era o nome de sua mãe Hamutal, filha de Jeremias, de Libna.
19 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto fizera Jeoiaquim.
20 Porque assim sucedeu por causa da ira do SENHOR contra Jerusalém, e contra Judá, até os rejeitar de diante da sua presença; e Zedequias se rebelou contra o rei de babilônia.
1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up and Jehoiakim was his servant for three years; then he took up arms against him.
2 And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.
3 Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;
4 And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
6 So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
7 And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months, and his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
10 At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came there, while his servants were shutting in the town;
12 Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.
13 And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
14 And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.
15 He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in place of Jehoiachin, changing his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
20 And because of the wrath of the Lord, this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them all away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.
