Jeremiah 50
1 The word which the Lord said about Babylon, about the land of the Chaldaeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
A palavra que fallou o Senhor contra Babylonia, contra a terra dos chaldeos, por mão de Jeremias, o propheta.
2 Give it out among the nations, make it public, and let the flag be lifted up; give the word and keep nothing back; say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken, her images are put to shame, her gods are broken.
Annunciae entre as nações; e fazei ouvir, e levantae bandeira, fazei ouvir, não encubraes; dizei: Já tomada é Babylonia, confundido está Bel, atropellado está Merodach, confundidos estão os seus idolos, e atropellados estão os seus deuses de esterco.
3 For out of the north a nation is coming up against her, which will make her land waste and unpeopled: they are in flight, man and beast are gone.
Porque subiu contra ella uma nação do norte, que fará da sua terra uma solidão, e não haverá quem habite n'ella: desde os homens até aos animaes fugiram, e se foram.
4 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping and making prayer to the Lord their God.
N'aquelles dias, e n'aquelle tempo, diz o Senhor, os filhos de Israel virão, elles e os filhos de Judah juntamente; andando e chorando virão, e buscarão ao Senhor seu Deus.
5 They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.
Pelo caminho de Sião perguntarão, para ali endereçarão os seus rostos: virão, e se ajuntarão ao Senhor, n'um concerto eterno que nunca será esquecido.
6 My people have been wandering sheep: their keepers have made them go out of the right way, turning them loose on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, having no memory of their resting-place.
Ovelhas perdidas foram o meu povo, os seus pastores as fizeram errar, pelos montes as desviaram; de monte em outeiro andavam, esqueceram-se do logar do seu repouso.
7 They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
Todos os que os achavam os devoraram; e os seus adversarios diziam: Culpa nenhuma teremos; porque peccaram contra o Senhor na morada da justiça, contra o Senhor, a Esperança de seus paes.
8 Go in flight out of Babylon, go out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and be like he-goats before the flocks.
Fugi do meio de Babylonia, e sahi da terra dos chaldeos; e sêde como os carneiros diante do rebanho.
9 For see, I am moving and sending up against Babylon a band of great nations from the north country: and they will put their armies in position against her; and from there she will be taken: their arrows will be like those of an expert man of war; not one will come back without getting its mark.
Porque eis que eu suscitarei e farei subir contra Babylonia uma congregação de grandes nações da terra do norte, e se prepararão contra ella, e d'ali será tomada: as suas frechas serão como de valente heroe, não tornará sem effeito.
10 And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.
E Chaldea servirá de preza: todos os que a saqueiam serão fartos, diz o Senhor.
11 Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;
Porquanto vos alegrastes, porquanto saltastes de prazer, ó saqueadores da minha herança, porquanto vos inchastes como bezerra gorda, e rinchastes como cavallos vigorosos,
12 Your mother will be put to shame; she who gave you birth will be looked down on: see, she will be the last of the nations, a waste place, a dry and unwatered land.
Será mui confundida vossa mãe, ficará envergonhada a que vos pariu: eis que ella será a ultima das nações, um deserto, uma terra secca e uma solidão.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
Por causa do furor do Senhor não será habitada, antes se tornará em total assolação: qualquer que passar por Babylonia se espantará, e assobiará sobre todas as suas pragas
14 Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.
Preparae-vos contra Babylonia em redor, todos os que armaes arcos: atirae-lhe, não poupeis as frechas, porque peccou contra o Senhor.
15 Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.
Gritae contra ella em redor, porque já deu a sua mão, já cairam seus fundamentos, já são derribados os seus muros; porque esta é a vingança do Senhor: tomae vingança d'ella; como ella fez, fazei-lhe a ella.
16 Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.
Arrancae de Babylonia o que semeia, e o que leva a foice no tempo da sega: por causa da espada afflictiva virar-se-ha cada um para o seu povo, e fugirá cada um para a sua terra.
17 Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have been driving him away: first he was attacked by the king of Assyria, and now his bones have been broken by Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.
Cordeiro desgarrado é Israel: os leões o afugentaram: o primeiro que o comeu foi o rei da Assyria; e este, o ultimo, Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, lhe quebrou os ossos.
18 So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have given punishment to the king of Assyria.
Portanto, assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que visitarei o rei de Babylonia, e a sua terra, como visitei o rei da Assyria.
19 And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
E farei tornar Israel para a sua morada, e pastará no Carmelo e em Basan; e fartar-se-ha a sua alma no monte de Ephraim e em Gilead.
20 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, when the evil-doing of Israel is looked for, there will be nothing; and in Judah no sins will be seen: for I will have forgiveness for those whom I will keep safe.
N'aquelles dias, e n'aquelle tempo, diz o Senhor, buscar-se-ha a maldade de Israel, porém não se achará; como tambem os peccados de Judah, porém não se acharão; porque perdoarei aos que eu deixar de resto
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do.
Contra a terra de Merathaim. Sobe contra ella, e contra os moradores de Pecod: assola e de todo destroe após elles, diz o Senhor, e faze conforme tudo o que te mandei.
22 There is a sound of war in the land and of great destruction.
Estrondo de guerra ha na terra, e grande quebra.
23 How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations!
Como foi cortado e quebrantado o martello de toda a terra! como se tornou Babylonia em espanto entre as nações!
24 I have put a net for you, and you have been taken, O Babylon, without your knowledge: you have been uncovered and taken because you were fighting against the Lord.
Laços te armei, e tambem foste presa, ó Babylonia, e tu não o soubeste: foste achada, e tambem apanhada; porque contra o Senhor te entremetteste.
25 From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.
O Senhor abriu o seu thesouro, e tirou os instrumentos da sua indignação; porque esta obra é do Senhor Jehovah dos Exercitos, na terra dos chaldeos.
26 Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.
Vinde contra ella dos confins da terra, abri os seus celleiros, trilhae-a como a pavêas, e destrui-a de todo: nada lhe fique de resto.
27 Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.
Matae á espada a todos os seus novilhos, desçam ao degoladouro: ai d'elles! porque veiu o seu dia, o tempo da sua visitação.
28 The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple.
Voz ha dos que fugiram e escaparam da terra de Babylonia, para annunciar em Sião a vingança do Senhor nosso Deus, a vingança do seu templo.
29 Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
Convocae contra Babylonia os frecheiros, a todos os que armam arcos: acampae-vos contra ella em redor, ninguem escape d'ella: pagae-lhe conforme a sua obra, conforme tudo o que fez, fazei-lhe; porque se houve arrogantemente contra o Senhor, contra o Sancto de Israel.
30 For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.
Portanto, cairão os seus mancebos nas suas ruas; e todos os seus homens de guerra serão desarreigados n'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor.
31 See, I am against you, O pride, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, for your day has come, the time when I will send punishment on you.
Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó soberbo, diz o Senhor Deus dos Exercitos; porque já veiu o teu dia, o tempo em que te hei de visitar.
32 And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.
Então tropeçará o soberbo, e cairá, e ninguem haverá que o levante; e porei fogo ás suas cidades, que consumirá todos os seus contornos.
33 This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Os filhos de Israel e os filhos de Judah foram opprimidos juntamente; e todos os que os tomaram captivos os retiveram, não os quizeram soltar.
34 Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.
Porém o seu Redemptor é forte, o Senhor dos Exercitos é o seu nome; certamente pleiteará o pleito d'elles, para dar descanço á terra, e inquietar os moradores de Babylonia.
35 A sword is on the Chaldaeans, says the Lord, and on the people of Babylon, and on her rulers and on her wise men.
A espada virá sobre os chaldeos, diz o Senhor, como tambem sobre os moradores de Babylonia, e sobre os seus principes, e sobre os seus sabios.
36 A sword is on the men of pride, and they will become foolish: a sword is on her men of war, and they will be broken.
A espada virá sobre os mentirosos, e ficarão insensatos: a espada virá sobre os seus valentes, e desmaiarão.
37 A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.
A espada virá sobre os seus cavallos, e sobre os seus carros, e sobre toda a mistura de povos, que está no meio d'ella; e tornar-se-hão em mulheres: a espada virá sobre os seus thesouros, e serão saqueados.
38 A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.
Cairá a secca sobre as suas aguas, e seccarão; porque é terra de esculpturas, e pelos horriveis idolos andam enfurecidos.
39 For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.
Por isso habitarão n'ella as féras do deserto, com os animaes bravos das ilhas: tambem habitarão n'ella as abestruzinhas; e nunca mais será povoada para sempre, nem será habitada de geração em geração.
40 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns were overturned by God, says the Lord, so no man will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
Como Deus transtornou a Sodoma e a Gomorrah, e aos seus visinhos, diz o Senhor, assim ninguem habitará ali, nem morará n'ella filho do homem.
41 See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and a number of kings will be put in motion from the inmost parts of the earth.
Eis que um povo vem do norte, e uma grande nação; e reis poderosos se levantarão dos lados da terra.
42 Bows and spears are in their hands; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice is like the thunder of the sea, and they go on horses; everyone in his place like men going to the fight, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
Arco e lança tomarão; elles são crueis, e não serão compassivos; a sua voz bramará como o mar, e sobre cavallos cavalgarão, como um homem apercebido para a batalha, contra ti, ó filha de Babylonia.
43 The king of Babylon has had news of them, and his hands have become feeble: trouble has come on him and pain like the pain of a woman in childbirth.
O rei de Babylonia ouviu a sua fama, e desfalleceram as suas mãos: tomou-o a angustia e dôr, como da que está de parto.
44 See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make them go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will keep his place before me?
Eis que elle como leão subirá da enchente do Jordão, contra a morada do forte, porque n'um momento o farei correr d'ali; e quem é o escolhido, a este porei contra ella: porque quem é similhante a mim? e quem me citaria a mim? e quem é aquelle pastor que subsistiria perante mim?
45 So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
Portanto ouvi o conselho do Senhor, que decretou contra Babylonia, e os seus designios que intentou contra a terra dos chaldeos: Certamente os mais pequenos do rebanho os arrastarão; certamente assolará a morada sobre elles.
46 At the cry, Babylon is taken! the earth is shaking, and the cry comes to the ears of the nations.
Do estrondo da tomada de Babylonia estremeceu a terra; e o grito se ouviu entre as nações.
