< Jeremiah 43 >
1 And it came about that when Jeremiah had come to the end of giving all the people the words of the Lord their God, which the Lord their God had sent him to say to them, even all these words,
E sucedeu que, quando Jeremias acabou de falar a todo o povo todas as palavras do SENHOR Deus deles, pelas quais o SENHOR Deus deles tinha o enviado a eles,
2 Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:
Então Azarias filho de Hosaías, e Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os homens arrogantes disseram a Jeremias: Tu falas mentira! O SENHOR nosso Deus não te enviou para dizer: Não entreis em Egito para ali peregrinar.
3 But Baruch, the son of Neriah, is moving you against us, to give us up into the hands of the Chaldaeans so that they may put us to death, and take us away prisoners into Babylon.
Mas é Baruque filho de Nerias que te incita contra nós, para nos entregar nas mãos dos caldeus, para nos matar ou nos fazer transportar cativos à Babilônia.
4 So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not give ear to the order of the Lord that they were to go on living in the land of Judah.
Assim Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos, e todo o povo, não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR para ficarem na terra de Judá;
5 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;
Em vez disse, Joanã filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes dos exércitos, tomaram a todo o restante de Judá, que tinham voltado de todas as nações para onde haviam sido lançados, para morarem na terra de Judá:
6 The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, the son of Neriah;
Homens, mulheres, crianças, as filhas do rei, e a toda alma que Nabuzaradã capitão da guarda tinha deixado com Gedalias filho de Aicã filho de Safã, e [também] ao profeta Jeremias, e a Baruque filho de Nerias;
7 And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: and they came to Tahpanhes.
E vieram à terra do Egito, porque não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR; e chegaram até Tafnes.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias em Tafnes, dizendo:
9 Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;
Toma em tua mão pedras grandes, e as esconde entre o barro no forno que está à porta da casa de Faraó em Tafnes, diante dos olhos de homens judeus,
10 And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and he will put the seat of his kingdom on these stones which have been put in a safe place here by you; and his tent will be stretched over them.
E dize-lhes: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, meu servo, e porei seu trono sobre estas pedras que escondi; e ele estenderá sua tenda real sobre elas.
11 And he will come and overcome the land of Egypt; those who are for death will be put to death, those who are to be prisoners will be made prisoners, and those who are for the sword will be given to the sword.
E ele virá, e ferirá a terra do Egito: os que [estão condenados] para a morte, à morte; os que para o cativeiro, ao cativeiro, e os que para a espada, à espada.
12 And he will put a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and they will be burned by him: and he will make Egypt clean as a keeper of sheep makes clean his clothing; and he will go out from there in peace.
E acenderei fogo às casas dos deuses do Egito; e ele as queimará, e os levará cativos; e ele se vestirá da terra do Egito, tal como o pastor se veste de sua capa; e ele sairá de lá em paz.
13 And the stone pillars of Beth-shemesh in the land of Egypt will be broken by him, and the houses of the gods of Egypt burned with fire.
E quebrará as estátuas de Bete-Semes, que fica na terra do Egito, e queimará a fogo as casas dos deuses do Egito.
