1 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor, de Babilonia, movilizó todo su ejército y puso sitio a Jerusalén. Esto ocurrió el día diez del mes décimo del noveno año del reinado de Sedequías, rey de Judá.
1 In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
2 El sitio continuó hasta el año once del reinado de Sedequías.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Los últimos alimentos de la ciudad fueron consumidos el día nueve del mes cuarto de ese año, es decir, el año once.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Aquella noche, el rey y sus hombres de guerra abrieron una brecha en el muro y huyeron hacia el Arabá, a través de una puerta que había entre el doble muro, junto al jardín del rey. Las fuerzas babilónicas que rodeaban la ciudad lo persiguieron y lo capturaron en la llanura de Jericó, y todos sus hombres se dispersaron.
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 Fue llevado a Riblá, donde fue juzgado y sentenciado delante del rey de Babilonia.
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgment on him.
7 Lo obligaron a presenciar cómo mataban a sus hijos, y luego le sacaron los ojos y se lo llevaron atado con cadenas a Babilonia.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Nabuzadarán, capitán de la guardia real, llegó desde Babilonia a Jerusalén el día siete del mes quinto del año diecinueve del reinado de Nabucodonosor.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 Incendió el templo del Señor, el palacio y todas las demás casas de la ciudad.
9 He burned Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.
10 Luego dirigió a las fuerzas babilónicas en la destrucción de las murallas de Jerusalén.
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Nabuzaradán se llevó a Babilonia a toda la gente que quedaba en Jerusalén, junto con los que se habían unido al rey de Babilonia. Todos fueron llevados cautivos a Babilonia.
11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon—all the rest of the multitude.
12 Sin embargo, dejó a los más pobres de la tierra, para que se encargaran de cultivar los viñedos y los campos.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 Los babilonios quebraron las columnas de bronce del templo del Señor, la fuente de bronce y sus bases, y se llevaron todo el bronce a Babilonia.
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
14 También se llevaron los calderos, las paletas, las despabiladeras, los cucharones, y todos los utensilios de bronce usados para el sacrificio. Los incensarios de oro y plata, y todo el resto del oro y la plata.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.

15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver.
16 Fue tal la cantidad de bronce usado en las dos columnas, la fuente y las bases, que Salomón había mandado hacer para el templo del Señor, que fue imposible pesarlo.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
17 Cada columna tenía ocho metros de altura. La parte superior de cada columna tenía un adorno de bronce de metro y medio, en forma de una red con granadas de bronce.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.
18 El general se llevó cautivos a Babilonia a Seraías, el principal de los sacerdotes, a su ayudante Sofonías, y a los tres guardianes del templo del Señor.

El rey de Babilonia los juzgó en Riblá,
19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.

21 que está en la región de Jamat, y los hizo matar. Fue así como la gente de Judá fue sacada de su tierra y llevada cautiva a Babilonia.
21 The king of Babylon attacked them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor designó a Guedalías hijo de Ajicán y nieto de Safán, como gobernador del pueblo que quedó en Judá.
22 As for the people who were left 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, governor.
23 Los jefes de las tropas de Judá y sus hombres supieron que el rey de Babilonia había designado a Guedalías como gobernador. Entonces fueron a Mizpa, para ver a Guedalías. Entre los que fueron estaban Ismael hijo de Netanías, Johanán hijo de Carea, Seraías hijo de Tanjumet, de Netofa, y Jazanías, hijo de un hombre de Macá.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Guedalías les dijo que se quedaran en aquella tierra y que si se sometían al rey de Babilonia, les iría bien, y no tenían que temer a los oficiales de Babilonia.
24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 Pero siete meses más tarde, Ismael hijo de Netanías y nieto de Elisama, que era de estirpe real, fue a Mizpa con diez hombres, y dio muerte a Guedalías y a su corte, tanto judíos como babilonios.
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Entonces todos los hombres de Judá, desde el más joven hasta el más viejo, junto con los jefes del ejército de Judá, huyeron a Egipto, pues tenían miedo de lo que los babilonios pudieran hacerles.
26 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 El rey Joaquín, de Judá, fue puesto en libertad de su prisión el día veintisiete del mes doce del año treinta y siete de su cautiverio. Ese era el primer año del reinado de Evil Merodac, sobre Babilonia.
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison,
28 Este rey trató bondadosamente a Joaquín y le dio un puesto más importante que el que les dio a los demás reyes que estaban cautivos en Babilonia.
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
29 Joaquín dejó de vestir como un prisionero, y por el resto de su vida comió regularmente en la mesa del rey.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30 Además, el rey le daba cada día una ayuda económica para sus gastos. Joaquín recibió esa ayuda por el resto de su vida.
30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
