2 Reis 25
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
25 Então Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, atacou com todo seu exército a Jerusalém no dia dez, do décimo mês do nono ano do reino de Zedequias. Nabucodonosor cercou a Jerusalém com todo seu exército e construiu um muro de terra ao redor da cidade. 2 A cidade esteve cercada até o décimo primeiro ano do reinado de Zedequias, rei de Judá. 3 A fome se fez cada vez pior dentro da cidade e no dia nove não tinha mais alimentos para o povo.
4 O exército de Nabucodonosor abriu uma brecha no muro da cidade. Aquela mesma noite o rei Zedequias e todo seu exército fugiram por uma porta secreta que passava pelo muro duplo da cidade, perto do jardim do rei. Os soldados inimigos cercaram a cidade, mas Zedequias e os seus homens escaparam pelo caminho do Arabá. 5 Mas o exército babilônio perseguiu o rei e o alcançou na planície de Jericó. Ali todo o exército de Zedequias fugiu e se dispersou.
6 Os babilônios capturaram o rei e o levaram perante o rei da Babilônia em Ribla. Nabucodonosor ditou a sua sentença contra Zedequias. 7 Os filhos de Zedequias foram degolados na frente do seu pai. Depois tiraram os olhos de Zedequias, o acorrentaram e o levaram prisioneiro para a Babilônia.
A destruição de Jerusalém
8 No sétimo dia do quinto mês do ano dezenove do reinado de Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, Nebuzaradã, comandante-geral da guarda e alto funcionário do governo, conseguiu entrar em Jerusalém. 9 Ele incendiou o templo do SENHOR, o palácio do rei, e todas as casas, especialmente as das pessoas mais importantes. 10 Então todo o exército da Babilônia, que estava sob seu mando, derrubou as muralhas de Jerusalém. 11 Nebuzaradã conquistou todo o povo que estava na cidade e o levou prisioneiro, até os que tinham se passado para o grupo do rei da Babilônia. 12 Mas ele deixou as pessoas mais pobres do povo para que cuidassem das vinhas e colheitas.
13 Os babilônios quebraram todos os objetos de bronze do templo do SENHOR: as colunas de bronze, as plataformas de bronze, e o grande tanque de bronze. Então levaram todo o bronze para a Babilônia. 14 Também levaram as panelas, as pás, os cortadores de pavio, as colheres e todos os utensílios de bronze que eram utilizados no serviço do templo. 15 O comandante da guarda levou também os incensários e os pratos fundos, tudo feito de ouro e de prata. 16 Não foi possível calcular o peso das duas colunas de bronze, do enorme tanque de bronze, e das bases de bronze[a] que o rei Salomão tinha feito para o templo do SENHOR porque pesavam muito. 17 Cada coluna media oito metros[b] de altura. O capitel de bronze que estava sobre cada coluna media dois metros de altura e estava enfeitado com uma grade e romãs gravadas em volta sua. As duas colunas tinham o mesmo desenho.
Os desterrados
18 O comandante da guarda também levou como prisioneiros Seraías, o sumo sacerdote; Sofonias, o segundo sacerdote; e os três porteiros do templo.
19 Dos que ficaram na cidade, ele levou presos o comandante que estava encarregado dos soldados, os cinco conselheiros do rei, o chefe de recrutamento do exército, e sessenta pessoas de importância que ainda estavam na cidade.
20 Nebuzaradã, comandante da guarda, prendeu todos eles e os levou perante o rei da Babilônia, que estava em Ribla. 21 Este deu a ordem ali mesmo em Ribla, no território de Hamate, que os executassem.
Assim foi como a nação de Judá foi desterrada.
Gedalias, governador de Judá
22 Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, nomeou governador sobre o povo que deixou em Judá a Gedalias, filho de Aicão e neto de Safã. 23 Quando os oficiais do exército souberam que Gedalias tinha sido escolhido como governador pelo rei da Babilônia, foram vê-lo em Mispá. Eles eram: Ismael, filho de Netanias; Joanã, filho de Careá; Seraías, filho de Tanumete, de Netofa; e Jazanias, filho de Maacá. 24 Gedalias fez esta promessa aos oficiais e aos seus homens:
—Não tenham medo dos oficiais babilônios. Fiquem aqui, sirvam ao rei da Babilônia e tudo lhes irá bem.
25 No mês sétimo, Ismael foi com dez homens até Mispá e matou Gedalias. Também matou os babilônios e os judeus que acompanhavam Gedalias. Ismael era filho de Netanias e neto de Elisama. Elisama era da família real. 26 Então todo o povo, tanto os mais importantes como os mais humildes, junto com os oficiais do exército, fugiram para o Egito. Eles fizeram isso porque ficaram com medo dos babilônios.
27 O rei Joaquim, de Judá, ficou preso por trinta e sete anos. No ano trinta e sete de Joaquim estar preso, Evil-Merodaque se tornou rei da Babilônia. Antes desse ano acabar, no dia vinte e sete do mês doze, o rei mandou tirar Joaquim da prisão. 28 O rei o tratou bem e o favoreceu com um cargo mais importante que o dos outros reis que estavam com ele na Babilônia. 29 Joaquim deixou de usar uniforme de prisioneiro e até o dia da sua morte fez parte da mesa do rei. 30 Além disso, o rei Evil-Merodaque deu a Joaquim uma pensão diária pelo resto da sua vida.

2 Kings 25
King James Version
25 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22 And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
2 Kings 25
New International Version
2 Kings 25
New International Version
25 So in the ninth(A) year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. He encamped outside the city and built siege works(C) all around it. 2 The city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 By the ninth day of the fourth[a] month the famine(D) in the city had become so severe that there was no food for the people to eat. 4 Then the city wall was broken through,(E) and the whole army fled at night through the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden, though the Babylonians[b] were surrounding(F) the city. They fled toward the Arabah,[c] 5 but the Babylonian[d] army pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his soldiers were separated from him and scattered,(G) 6 and he was captured.(H)
He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah,(I) where sentence was pronounced on him. 7 They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.(J)
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, an official of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 He set fire(K) to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.(L) 10 The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the imperial guard broke down the walls(M) around Jerusalem. 11 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried into exile(N) the people who remained in the city, along with the rest of the populace and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon.(O) 12 But the commander left behind some of the poorest people(P) of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 The Babylonians broke(Q) up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the bronze Sea that were at the temple of the Lord and they carried the bronze to Babylon. 14 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes(R) and all the bronze articles(S) used in the temple service. 15 The commander of the imperial guard took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—all that were made of pure gold or silver.(T)
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the movable stands, which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed. 17 Each pillar(U) was eighteen cubits[e] high. The bronze capital on top of one pillar was three cubits[f] high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its network, was similar.
18 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah(V) the chief priest, Zephaniah(W) the priest next in rank and the three doorkeepers.(X) 19 Of those still in the city, he took the officer in charge of the fighting men, and five royal advisers. He also took the secretary who was chief officer in charge of conscripting the people of the land and sixty of the conscripts who were found in the city. 20 Nebuzaradan the commander took them all and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 21 There at Riblah,(Y) in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed.(Z)
So Judah went into captivity,(AA) away from her land.(AB)
22 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah(AC) son of Ahikam,(AD) the son of Shaphan, to be over the people he had left behind in Judah. 23 When all the army officers and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah the son of the Maakathite, and their men. 24 Gedaliah took an oath to reassure them and their men. “Do not be afraid of the Babylonian officials,” he said. “Settle down in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.”
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was of royal blood, came with ten men and assassinated(AE) Gedaliah and also the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.(AF) 26 At this, all the people from the least to the greatest, together with the army officers, fled to Egypt(AG) for fear of the Babylonians.
Jehoiachin Released(AH)
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin(AI) king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. 28 He spoke kindly(AJ) to him and gave him a seat of honor(AK) higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. 29 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table.(AL) 30 Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.(AM)
