< Jeremiah 43 >

1 Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
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 Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
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 Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away 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 And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain 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 leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
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 men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as 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 entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
E vieram à terra do Egito, porque não obedeceram à voz do SENHOR; e chegaram até Tafnes.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias em Tafnes, dizendo:
9 “Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight 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 you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon 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 strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, 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 kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place 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 he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up 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.
