Jeremiah 37
|
E Zedequias, filho de Josias, a quem Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, constituiu rei na terra de Judá, reinou em lugar de Conias, filho de Jeoiaquim. | And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah. |
Mas nem ele, nem os seus servos, nem o povo da terra escutaram as palavras do Senhor que este falou por intermédio de Jeremias o profeta. | But he and his servants and the people of the land did not give ear to the words of the Lord which he said by Jeremiah the prophet. |
Contudo mandou o rei Zedequias a Jeucal filho de Selemias, e a Sofonias, filho de Maaséias, o sacerdote, ao profeta Jeremias, para lhe dizerem: Roga agora por nós ao Senhor nosso Deus, | And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us. |
Ora, Jeremias entrava e saía entre o povo; pois ainda não o tinham encerrado na prisão. | (Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison. |
E o exército de Faraó saíra do Egito; quando, pois, os caldeus que estavam sitiando Jerusalém, ouviram esta notícia, retiraram-se de Jerusalém. | And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.) |
Então veio a Jeremias, o profeta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: | Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, |
Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Assim direis ao rei de Judá, que vos enviou a mim, para me consultar: Eis que o exército de Faraó, que saiu em vosso socorro, voltará para a sua terra no Egito. | The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land. |
E voltarão os caldeus, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo. | And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire. |
Assim diz o Senhor: Não vos enganeis a vós mesmos, dizendo: Sem dúvida os caldeus se retirarão de nós; pois não se retirarão. | The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away. |
Porque ainda que derrotásseis a todo o exército dos caldeus que peleja contra vós, e entre eles só ficassem homens feridos, contudo se levantariam, cada um na sua tenda, e queimariam a fogo esta cidade. | For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire. |
Ora, quando se retirou de Jerusalém o exército dos caldeus, por causa do exército de Iearaó, | And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army, |
saiu Jeremias de Jerusalém, a fim de ir à terra de Benjamim, para receber ali a sua parte no meio do povo. | Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people. |
E quando ele estava à porta de Benjamim, achava-se ali um capitão da guarda, cujo nome era Jurias, filho de Selemias, filho de Hananias, o qual prendeu a Jeremias, o profeta, dizendo: Tu estás desertando para os caldeus. | But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans. |
E Jeremias disse: Isso é falso, não estou desertando para os caldeus. Mas ele não lhe deu ouvidos, de modo que prendeu a Jeremias e o levou aos príncipes. | Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers. |
E os príncipes ficaram muito irados contra Jeremias, de sorte que o açoitaram e o meteram no cárcere, na casa de Jônatas, o escrivão, porquanto a tinham transformado em cárcere. | And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison. |
Tendo Jeremias entrado nas celas do calabouço, e havendo ficado ali muitos dias, | So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time. |
o rei Zedequias mandou soltá-lo e lhe perguntou em sua casa, em segredo: Há alguma palavra da parte do Senhor? Respondeu Jeremias: Há. E acrescentou: Na mão do rei de Babilônia serás entregue. | Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon. |
Disse mais Jeremias ao rei Zedequias: Em que tenho pecado contra ti, e contra os teus servos, e contra este povo, para que me pusésseis na prisão? | Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison? |
Onde estão agora os vossos profetas que vos profetizavam, dizendo: O rei de Babilônia não virá contra vós nem contra esta terra? | Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land? |
Ora, pois, ouve agora, ó rei, meu senhor: seja aceita agora a minha súplica diante de ti; não me faças tornar à casa de Jônatas, o escriba, para que eu não venha a morrer ali. | And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there. |
Então ordenou o rei Zedequias que pusessem a Jeremias no átrio da guarda; e deram-lhe um bolo de pão cada dia, da rua dos padeiros, até que se gastou todo o pão da cidade. Assim ficou Jeremias no átrio da guarda. | Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen. |
