Jeremías 39
1 En el noveno año de Sedecías, rey de Judá, en el mes décimo, vino Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, con todo su ejército contra Jerusalem, y cercáronla.
And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;
2 Y en el undécimo año de Sedecías, en el mes cuarto, a los nueve del mes, fue rota la ciudad:
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the town was broken into: )
3 Y entraron todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia, y asentaron a la puerta del medio, Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsequim, Rabsares, Nergal-sarezer, Rabmag, y todos los demás príncipes del rey de Babilonia.
All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.
4 Y fue, que viéndolos Sedecías, rey de Judá, y todos los varones de guerra, huyeron; y saliéronse de noche de la ciudad por el camino de la huerta del rey, por la puerta de entre los dos muros; y salió por el camino del desierto.
And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.
5 Mas el ejército de los Caldeos los siguió, y alcanzaron a Sedecías en los llanos de Jericó; y tomáronle, e hiciéronle subir a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, en Reblata, en tierra de Emat, y le sentenció.
But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.
6 Y degolló el rey de Babilonia los hijos de Sedecías en su presencia en Reblata, y a todos los nobles de Judá degolló el rey de Babilonia.
Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.
7 Y sacó los ojos al rey Sedecías, y aprisionóle en grillos para llevarle a Babilonia.
And more than this, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and had him put in chains to take him away to Babylon.
8 Y los Caldeos pusieron a fuego la casa del rey, y las casas del pueblo, y derribaron los muros de Jerusalem.
And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.
9 Y la resta del pueblo que había quedado en la ciudad, y los que se habían acostado a él, y todo el resto del pueblo que había quedado, traspasó Nabuzardán, capitán de la guarda, en Babilonia.
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.
10 Y del vulgo de los pobres que no tenían nada, hizo quedar Nabuzardán, capitán de la guarda, en tierra de Judá; y dióles entonces viñas y heredades.
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.
11 Y Nabucodonosor había mandado acerca de Jeremías por Nabuzardán, capitán de la guarda, diciendo:
Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,
12 Tómale, y pon sobre él tus ojos, y no le hagas mal ninguno, antes harás con él como él te dijere.
Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.
13 Y envió Nabuzardán, capitán de la guarda, y Nabusezbaz, Rabsares, y Neregel, y Sereser, y Rabmag, y todos los príncipes del rey de Babilonia.
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,
14 Y enviaron, y tomaron a Jeremías del patio de la guarda, y entregáronle a Godolías, hijo de Ahicam, hijo de Safán, para que le sacase a casa; y vivió entre el pueblo.
And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.
15 Y había sido palabra de Jehová a Jeremías, estando preso en el patio de la guarda, diciendo:
Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
16 Vé, y habla a Ebed-melec Etiope, diciendo: Así dijo Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo traigo mis palabras sobre esta ciudad para mal, y no para bien; y serán en tu presencia aquel día.
Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.
17 Y en aquel día yo te libraré, dijo Jehová, y no serás entregado en mano de aquellos de quien tú tienes temor;
But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.
18 porque escapando te escaparé, y no caerás a espada, y tu vida te será por despojo, porque tuviste confianza en mí, dijo Jehová.
For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
