Jeremías 52

1 ERA Sedechîas de edad de veintiún años cuando comenzó á reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalem. Su madre se llamaba Hamutal, hija de Jeremías, de Libna. 2 E hizo lo malo en los ojos de Jehová, conforme á todo lo que hizo Joacim. 3 Y á causa de la ira de Jehová contra Jerusalem y Judá, fué el llegar á echarlos de su presencia: y rebelóse Sedechîas contra el rey de Babilonia. 4 Aconteció por tanto á los nueve años de su reinado, en el mes décimo, á los diez días del mes, que vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, él y todo su ejército, contra Jerusalem, y contra ella asentaron campo, y de todas partes edificaron contra ella baluartes. 5 Y estuvo cercada la ciudad hasta el undécimo año del rey Sedechîas. 6 En el mes cuarto, á los nueve del mes, prevaleció el hambre en la ciudad, hasta no haber pan para el pueblo de la tierra. 7 Y fué entrada la ciudad, y todos los hombres de guerra huyeron, y saliéronse de la ciudad de noche por el camino del postigo de entre los dos muros, que había cerca del jardín del rey, y fuéronse por el camino del desierto, estando aún los Caldeos junto á la ciudad alrededor. 8 Y el ejército de los Caldeos siguió al rey, y alcanzaron á Sedechîas en los llanos de Jericó; y esparcióse de él todo su ejército. 9 Entonces prendieron al rey, é hiciéronle venir al rey de Babilonia, á Ribla en tierra de Hamath, donde pronunció contra él sentencia. 10 Y degolló el rey de Babilonia á los hijos de Sedechîas delante de sus ojos, y también degolló á todos los príncipes de Judá en Ribla. 11 A Sedechîas empero sacó los ojos, y le aprisionó con grillos, é hízolo el rey de Babilonia llevar á Babilonia; y púsolo en la casa de la cárcel hasta el día en que murió. 12 Y en el mes quinto, á los diez del mes, que era el año diecinueve del reinado de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino á Jerusalem Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, que solía estar delante del rey de Babilonia. 13 Y quemó la casa de Jehová, y la casa del rey, y todas las casas de Jerusalem; y abrasó con fuego todo grande edificio. 14 Y todo el ejército de los Caldeos, que venía con el capitán de la guardia, destruyó todos los muros de Jerusalem en derredor. 15 E hizo trasportar Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los pobres del pueblo, y toda la otra gente vulgar que en la ciudad habían quedado, y los fugitivos que se habían huído al rey de Babilonia, y todo el resto de la multitud vulgar. 16 Mas de los pobres del país dejó Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, para viñadores y labradores. 17 Y los Caldeos quebraron las columnas de bronce que estaban en la casa de Jehová, y las basas, y el mar de bronce que estaba en la casa de Jehová, y llevaron todo el metal á Babilonia. 18 Lleváronse también los calderos, y los badiles, y los salterios, y las bacías, y los cazos, y todos los vasos de metal con que se servían. 19 Y las copas, é incensarios, y tazones, y ollas, y candeleros, y escudillas, y tazas: lo que de oro de oro, y lo que de plata de plata, se llevó el capitán de la guardia. 20 Las dos columnas, un mar, y doce bueyes de bronce que estaban debajo de las basas, que había hecho el rey Salomón en la casa de Jehová: no se podía pesar el metal de todos estos vasos. 21 Cuanto á las columnas, la altura de la columna era de dieciocho codos, y un hilo de doce codos la rodeaba: y su grueso era de cuatro dedos, [y] hueca. 22 Y el capitel de bronce que había sobre ella, era de altura de cinco codos, con una red y granadas en el capitel alrededor, todo de bronce; y lo mismo era lo de la segunda columna con sus granadas. 23 Había noventa y seis granadas en cada orden: todas ellas eran ciento sobre la red alrededor. 24 Tomó también el capitán de la guardia á Seraías principal sacerdote, y á Sophonías segundo sacerdote, y tres guardas del atrio. 25 Y de la ciudad tomó un eunuco que era capitán sobre los hombres de guerra, y siete hombres de los continuos del rey, que se hallaron en la ciudad; y al principal secretario de la milicia, que revistaba el pueblo de la tierra para la guerra; y sesenta hombres del vulgo del país, que se hallaron dentro de la ciudad. 26 Tomólos pues Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, y llevólos al rey de Babilonia á Ribla. 27 Y el rey de Babilonia los hirió, y los mató en Ribla en tierra de Hamath. Así fué Judá trasportado de su tierra. 28 Este es el pueblo que Nabucodonosor hizo trasportar: En el año séptimo, tres mil veintitrés Judíos: 29 En el año dieciocho hizo Nabucodonosor trasportar de Jerusalem ochocientas treinta y dos personas: 30 El año veintitrés de Nabucodonosor, trasportó Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia, setecientas cuarenta y cinco personas de los Judíos: todas las personas fueron cuatro mil seiscientas. 31 Y acaeció que en el año treinta y siete de la cautividad de Joachîn rey de Judá, en el mes duodécimo, á los veinticinco del mes, Evil-merodach, rey de Babilonia, en el año [primero] de su reinado, alzó la cabeza de Joachîn rey de Judá y sacólo de la casa de la cárcel; 32 Y habló con él amigablemente, é hizo poner su silla sobre las sillas de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia. 33 Hízole mudar también los vestidos de su prisión, y comía pan delante de él siempre todos los días de su vida. 34 Y continuamente se le daba ración por el rey de Babilonia, cada cosa en su día por todos los de su vida, hasta el día de su muerte.

Baruc 1

1 And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon, 2 in the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire. 3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book, 4 and in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud. 5 Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord. 6 They made also a collection of money according to every man's power: 7 and they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem, 8 at the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of [the month] Sivan, [namely], silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda had made, 9 after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon. 10 And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God; 11 and pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven: 12 and the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight. 13 Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us. 14 And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days. 15 And ye shall say, To the Lord our God [belongeth] righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as [it is come to pass] this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 16 and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers: 17 for we have sinned before the Lord, 18 and disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly: 19 since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice. 20 Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as [it is to see] this day. 21 Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us: 22 but every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

1 Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda, 2 to bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses; 3 that a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter. 4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them. 5 Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice. 6 To the Lord our God [appertaineth] righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as [appeareth] this day. 7 [For] all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us. 8 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart. 9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us. 10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us. 11 And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as [appeareth] this day: 12 O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances. 13 Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us. 14 Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away: 15 that all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name. 16 O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us. 17 Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness: 18 but the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord. 19 Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings, 20 for thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, [saying], 21 Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers. 22 But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon, 23 I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants. 24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their places. 25 And lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence. 26 And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as [it is to be seen] this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda. 27 O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine, 28 as thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write thy law before the children of Israel, saying, 29 If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small [number] among the nations, where I will scatter them. 30 For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves, 31 and shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear: 32 and they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name, 33 and return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord. 34 And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished. 35 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.
