1 In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
1 EN el noveno año de Sedechîas rey de Judá, en el mes décimo, vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia con todo su ejército contra Jerusalem, y cercáronla.
2 In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
2 Y en el undécimo año de Sedechîas, en el mes cuarto, á los nueve del mes, fué rota la ciudad;
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
3 Y entraron todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia, y asentaron á la puerta del medio: Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, y Rabsaris, Nergal-sarezer, Rabmag, y todos los demás príncipes del rey de Babilonia.
4 It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
4 Y fué que viéndolos Sedechîas, rey de Judá, y todos los hombres de guerra, huyeron, y saliéronse de noche de la ciudad por el camino de la huerta del rey, por la puerta entre los dos muros: y salió [el rey] por el camino del desierto.
5 But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
5 Mas el ejército de los Caldeos los siguió, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y tomáronle, é hiciéronle subir á Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, á Ribla, en tierra de Hamath, y sentencióle.
6 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
6 Y degolló el rey de Babilonia los hijos de Sedechîas á su presencia en Ribla, haciendo asimismo degollar el rey de Babilonia á todos los nobles de Judá.
7 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
7 Y sacó los ojos al rey Sedechîas, y aprisionóle con grillos para llevarle á Babilonia.
8 Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
8 Y los Caldeos pusieron á fuego la casa del rey y las casas del pueblo, y derribaron los muros de Jerusalem.
9 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
9 Y el resto del pueblo que había quedado en la ciudad, y los que se habían á él adherido, con todo el resto del pueblo que había quedado, trasportólos á Babilonia Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia.
10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
10 Empero Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, hizo quedar en tierra de Judá del vulgo de los pobres que no tenían nada, y dióles entonces viñas y heredades.
11 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
11 Y Nabucodonosor había ordenado á Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, acerca de Jeremías, diciendo:
12 “Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
12 Tómale, y mira por él, y no le hagas mal ninguno; antes harás con él como él te dijere.
13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
13 Envió por tanto Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, y Nabusazbán, Rabsaris, y Nergal-sarezer, y Rabmag, y todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia;
14 Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
14 Enviaron entonces, y tomaron á Jeremías del patio de la cárcel, y entregáronlo á Gedalías hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Saphán, para que lo sacase á casa: y vivió entre el pueblo.
15 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
15 Y había sido palabra de Jehová á Jeremías, estando preso en el patio de la cárcel, diciendo:
16 “Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
16 Ve, y habla á Ebed-melec Etiope, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí traigo yo mis palabras sobre esta ciudad para mal, y no para bien; y vendrán á ser en aquel día á presencia tuya.
17 But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
17 Mas en aquel día yo te libraré, dice Jehová, y no serás entregado en mano de aquellos de quienes tú temes.
18 For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
18 Porque ciertamente te libraré, y no caerás á cuchillo, sino que tu vida te será por despojo, porque tuviste confianza en mí, dice Jehová.
