Jeremias 34
|
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his rule, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns, saying, | A palavra que da parte do Senhor veio a Jeremias, quando Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, e todo o seu exército, e todos os reinos da terra que estavam sob o domínio da sua mão, e todos os povos, pelejavam contra Jerusalém, e contra todas as suas cidades, dizendo: |
The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Go and say to Zedekiah, king of Judah, This is what the Lord has said: See, I will give this town into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire: | Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Vai, e fala a Zedequias, rei de Judá, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que estou prestes a entregar esta cidade na mão do rei de Babilônia, o qual a queimará a fogo. |
And you will not get away from him, but will certainly be taken and given up into his hands; and you will see the king of Babylon, eye to eye, and he will have talk with you, mouth to mouth, and you will go to Babylon. | E tu não escaparás da sua mão; mas certamente serás preso e entregue na sua mão; e teus olhos verão os olhos do rei de Babilônia, e ele te falará boca a boca, e irás a Babilônia. |
But give ear to the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah, king of Judah; this is what the Lord has said about you: Death will not come to you by the sword: | Todavia ouve a palavra do Senhor, ó Zedequias, rei de Judá; assim diz o Senhor acerca de ti: Não morrerás à espada; |
You will come to your end in peace; and such burnings as they made for your fathers, the earlier kings before you, will be made for you; and they will be weeping for you and saying, Ah lord! for I have said the word, says the Lord. | em paz morrerás, e como queimavam perfumes a teus pais, os reis precedentes, que foram antes de ti, assim tos queimarão a ti; e te prantearão, dizendo: Ah Senhor! Pois eu disse a palavra, diz o Senhor. |
Then Jeremiah the prophet said all these things to Zedekiah, king of Judah, in Jerusalem, | E anunciou Jeremias, o profeta, a Zedequias, rei de Judá, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalém, |
When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the towns of Judah which had not been taken, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these were the last of the walled towns of Judah. | quando o exército do rei de Babilônia pelejava contra Jerusalém, e contra todas as cidades de Judá, que ficaram de resto, contra Laquis e contra Azeca; porque dentre as cidades de Judá, só estas haviam ficado como cidades fortificadas. |
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem, to give news in public that servants were to be made free; | A palavra que da parte do Senhor veio a Jeremias, depois que o rei Zedequias fez um pacto com todo o povo que estava em Jerusalém, para lhe fazer proclamação de liberdade, |
That every man was to let his Hebrew man-servant and his Hebrew servant-girl go free; so that no one might make use of a Jew, his countryman, as a servant: | para que cada um libertasse o seu escravo, e cada um a sua escrava, hebreu ou hebréia, de maneira que ninguém se servisse mais dos judeus, seus irmãos, como escravos. |
And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go. | E obedeceram todos os príncipes e todo o povo que haviam entrado no pacto de libertarem cada qual o seu escravo, e cada qual a sua escrava, de maneira a não se servirem mais deles, sim, obedeceram e os libertaram. |
But later, they took back again the servants and the servant-girls whom they had let go free, and put them again under the yoke as servants and servant-girls. | Mas depois se arrependeram, e fizeram voltar os escravos e as escravas que haviam libertado, e tornaram a escravizá-los. |
For this reason the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, | Veio, pois, a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo: |
The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I made an agreement with your fathers on the day when I took them out of Egypt, out of the prison-house, saying, | Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Eu fiz um pacto com vossos pais, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egito, da casa da servidão, dizendo: |
At the end of seven years every man is to let go his countryman who is a Hebrew, who has become yours for a price and has been your servant for six years; you are to let him go free: but your fathers gave no attention and did not give ear. | Ao fim de sete anos libertareis cada um a seu irmão hebreu, que te for vendido, e te houver servido seis anos, e despedi-lo-ás livre de ti; mas vossos pais não me ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos. |
And now, turning away from evil, you had done what is right in my eyes, giving a public undertaking for every man to make his neighbour free; and you had made an agreement before me in the house which is named by my name: | E vos havíeis hoje arrependido, e tínheis feito o que é reto aos meus olhos, proclamando liberdade cada um ao seu próximo; e tínheis feito diante de mim um pacto, na casa que se chama pelo meu nome; |
But again you have put shame on my name, and you have taken back, every one his man-servant and his servant-girl, whom you had sent away free, and you have put them under the yoke again to be your servants and servant-girls. | mudastes, porém, e profanastes o meu nome, e fizestes voltar cada um o seu escravo, e cada um a sua escrava, que havíeis deixado ir livres à vontade deles; e os sujeitastes de novo à servidão. |
And so the Lord has said, You have not given ear to me and undertaken publicly, every man to let loose his countryman and his neighbour: see, I undertake to let loose against you the sword and disease and need of food; and I will send you wandering among all the kingdoms of the earth. | Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Vós não me ouvistes a mim, para proclamardes a liberdade, cada um ao seu irmão, e cada um ao seu próximo. Eis, pois, que eu vos proclamo a liberdade, diz o Senhor, para a espada, para a peste e para a fome; e farei que sejais um espetáculo de terror a todos os reinos da terra. |
And I will give the men who have gone against my agreement and have not given effect to the words of the agreement which they made before me, when the ox was cut in two and they went between the parts of it, | Entregarei os homens que traspassaram o meu pacto, e não cumpriram as palavras do pacto que fizeram diante de mim com o bezerro que dividiram em duas partes, passando pelo meio das duas porções - |
The rulers of Judah and the rulers of Jerusalem, the unsexed servants and the priests and all the people of the land who went between the parts of the ox, | os príncipes de Judá, os príncipes de Jerusalém, os eunucos, os sacerdotes, e todo o povo da terra, os mesmos que passaram pelo meio das porções do bezerro, |
Even these I will give up into the hands of their haters and into the hands of those who have designs against their lives: and their dead bodies will become food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth. | entregá-los-ei, digo, na mão de seus inimigos, e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte. Os cadáveres deles servirão de pasto para as aves do céu e para os animais da terra. |
And Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his rulers I will give into the hands of their haters and into the hands of those who have designs against their lives, and into the hands of the king of Babylon's army which has gone away from you. | E a Zedequias, rei de Judá, e seus príncipes entregarei na mão de seus inimigos e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, e na mão do exército do rei de Babilônia, os quais já se retiraram de vós. |
See, I will give orders, says the Lord, and make them come back to this town; and they will make war on it and take it and have it burned with fire: and I will make the towns of Judah waste and unpeopled. | Eis que eu darei ordem, diz o Senhor, e os farei tornar a esta cidade, e pelejarão contra ela, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo; e das cidades de Judá farei uma assolação, de sorte que ninguém habite nelas. |
