Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
E reinou o rei Zedekias, filho de Josias, em logar de Conias, filho de Joaquim, a quem Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, constituiu rei na terra de Judah.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened to the words of Jehovah, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Porém nem elle, nem os seus servos, nem o povo da terra deram ouvidos ás palavras do Senhor que fallou pelo ministerio de Jeremias, o propheta.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Jehovah our God for us.
Comtudo mandou o rei Zedekias a Juchal, filho de Selemias, e a Sofonias, filho de Maaseias, o sacerdote, a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Roga agora por nós ao Senhor nosso Deus.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
E entrava e sahia Jeremias entre o povo, porque não o tinham posto na casa do carcere.
5 And Pharaoh's army came forth out of Egypt. And when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke away from Jerusalem.
E o exercito de Pharaó saiu do Egypto: e, ouvindo os chaldeos, que tinham em sitio a Jerusalem, as novas d'isto, retiraram-se de Jerusalem.
6 Then the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Então veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
7 Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Assim direis ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a mim a perguntar-me: Eis que o exercito de Pharaó, que saiu para soccorro vosso, voltar-se-ha para a sua terra no Egypto.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
E voltarão os chaldeos, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo.
9 Thus says Jehovah: Do not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us. For they shall not depart.
Assim diz o Senhor: Não enganeis as vossas almas, dizendo: Sem duvida se irão os chaldeos de nós: porque não se irão.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yea they would rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Porque ainda que ferisseis a todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que peleja contra vós, e ficassem de resto d'elles homens traspassados, cada um levantar-se-hia na sua tenda, e queimaria a fogo esta cidade.
11 And it came to pass that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken away from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
E succedeu que, subindo de Jerusalem o exercito dos chaldeos, por causa do exercito de Pharaó,
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to receive his portion there in the midst of the people.
Saiu Jeremias de Jerusalem, para ir á terra de Benjamin, para esquivar-se de ali entre o meio do povo.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou are falling away to the Chaldeans.
Porém, estando elle á porta de Benjamin, achava-se ali um capitão da guarda, cujo nome era Jerias, filho de Selemias, filho de Hananias: o qual prendeu a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Tu foges para os chaldeos.
14 Then Jeremiah said, It is false. I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he did not hearken to him. So Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the rulers.
E Jeremias disse: Isso é falso, não fujo para o chaldeos. Porém não lhe deu ouvidos; antes Jerias prendeu a Jeremias, e o levou aos principes.
15 And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made that the prison.
E os principes se iraram muito contra Jeremias, e o feriram; e o pozeram na casa da prisão, na casa de Jonathan, o escrivão; porque tinham feito d'ella a casa do carcere.
16 When Jeremiah came into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
Entrando pois Jeremias na casa do calaboiço, e nas suas camarinhas, ficou ali Jeremias muitos dias.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him. And the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Jehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is. He also said, Thou shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
E enviou o rei Zedekias a tiral-o; e o rei lhe perguntou em sua casa, em segredo, e disse: Ha porventura alguma palavra do Senhor? E disse Jeremias: Ha. E elle disse: Na mão do rei de Babylonia serás entregue.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, How have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Disse mais Jeremias ao rei Zedekias: Em que tenho peccado contra ti, e contra os teus servos, e contra este povo, para que me pozesseis na casa do carcere?
19 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Onde estão agora os vossos prophetas, que vos prophetizavam, dizendo: O rei de Babylonia não virá contra vós nem contra esta terra?
20 And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king. Let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee, that thou not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Ora pois ouve agora, ó rei, meu senhor: caia agora a minha supplica diante de ti, e não me deixes tornar á casa de Jonathan, o escriba, para que não venha a morrer alli.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. And they gave him a loaf of bread daily out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Então deu ordem o rei Zedekias que pozessem a Jeremias no atrio da guarda; e deram-lhe um bolo de pão cada dia, da rua dos padeiros, até que se acabou todo o pão da cidade: assim ficou Jeremias no atrio da guarda.
