1 En el noveno año del reinado de Sedequías, el décimo día del décimo mes, Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, atacó Jerusalén con todo su ejército. Acampó alrededor de la ciudad y construyó rampas de asedio contra las murallas.
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 La ciudad permaneció sitiada hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedequías.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Para el noveno día del cuarto mes, la hambruna en la ciudad era tan grave que la gente no tenía nada que comer.
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 Entonces se rompió la muralla de la ciudad, y todos los soldados escaparon de noche por la puerta entre las dos murallas junto al jardín del rey, aunque los babilonios tenían la ciudad rodeada. Huyeron en dirección al Arabá,
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 pero el ejército babilónico persiguió al rey y lo alcanzó en las llanuras de Jericó. Todo su ejército se había dispersado y lo había abandonado.
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 Capturaron al rey y lo llevaron ante el rey de Babilonia en Riblá, donde fue condenado.
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgment on him.
7 Mataron a los hijos de Sedequías mientras él miraba, y luego le sacaron los ojos, lo ataron con grilletes de bronce y lo llevaron 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 El séptimo día del quinto mes, en el año decimonoveno de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, entró en Jerusalén Nabuzaradán, comandante de la guardia, un oficial del rey de Babilonia.
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 Quemó el Templo del Señor, el palacio real y todos los grandes edificios de Jerusalén.
9 He burned Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.
10 Todo el ejército babilónico, bajo el mando del comandante de la guardia, derribó las murallas alrededor 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, el comandante de la guardia, deportó a los que quedaban en la ciudad, incluso a los que se habían pasado al lado del rey de Babilonia, así como al resto de la población.
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 Pero el comandante de la guardia permitió que los pobres que habían quedado en el campo se quedaran cuidando las viñas 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 rompieron en pedazos las columnas de bronce, los carros móviles y el mar de bronce que pertenecían al Templo del Señor, 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 todas las ollas, las palas, los apagadores de lámparas, los platos y todos los demás objetos de bronce que se utilizaban en el servicio del Templo.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
15 El comandante de la guardia se llevó los incensarios y las copas, todo lo que era de oro puro o de plata.
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 La cantidad de bronce que provenía de las dos columnas, del mar y de los carros móviles, que Salomón había hecho para el Templo del Señor, todo esto pesaba más de lo que se podía medir.
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 dieciocho codos de altura. El capitel de bronce de una de las columnas tenía tres codos de altura, con una red de granadas de bronce a su alrededor. La segunda columna era igual, y también tenía una red decorativa.
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 comandante de la guardia tomó como prisioneros a Seraías, el jefe de los sacerdotes, al sacerdote Sofonías, segundo en rango, y a los tres porteros del Templo.
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
19 De los que quedaron en la ciudad tomó al oficial a cargo de los soldados y a cinco de los consejeros del rey. También se llevó al secretario del comandante del ejército, encargado de convocar al pueblo para el servicio militar, y a otros sesenta hombres que estaban presentes en la ciudad.
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.
20 Nabuzaradán, el comandante de la guardia, los tomó y los llevó ante el rey de Babilonia en Riblá.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 El rey de Babilonia los hizo ejecutar en Riblá, en la tierra de Jamat. Entonces el pueblo de Judá tuvo que abandonar su tierra.
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 Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, nombró a Guedalías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán, como gobernador sobre el pueblo que había dejado en la tierra de 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 Cuando todos los oficiales del ejército de Judá y sus hombres se enteraron de que el rey de Babilonia había nombrado a Guedalías como gobernador, ellos y sus hombres se reunieron con Guedalías en Mizpa. Entre ellos estaban: Ismael hijo de Netanías, Johanán, hijo de Carea, Seraías, hijo de Tanjumet el netofita, Jazanías, hijo del maacateo.
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 hizo un juramento a ellos y a sus hombres, diciéndoles: “No tengan miedo de los funcionarios babilónicos. Quédense aquí en la tierra y sirvan al rey de Babilonia, y estarán bien”.
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 en el séptimo mes, Ismael, hijo de Netanías, hijo de Elisama, de sangre real, vino con diez hombres. Atacaron y mataron a Guedalías, junto con los hombres de Judea y de Babilonia que estaban con él en Mizpa.
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 Como resultado, todo el pueblo, desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande, junto con los comandantes del ejército, huyeron a Egipto, aterrorizados por lo que harían los babilonios.
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 En el año en que Evil-Merodac se convirtió en rey de Babilonia, liberó a Joaquim, rey de Judá, de la prisión. Esto sucedió el día veintisiete del duodécimo mes del trigésimo séptimo año del destierro de Joaquim, rey de Judá.
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 El rey de Babilonia lo trató bien y le dio una posición de honor superior a la de los otros reyes que estaban con él 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 Así que Joaquim pudo quitarse la ropa de la cárcel, y comió con frecuencia en la mesa del rey durante el resto de su vida.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30 El rey le dio a Joaquim una pensión diaria 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.
