< Jeremiah 26 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
No principio do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah, veiu esta palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 Thus says the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; diminish not a word:
Assim diz o Senhor: Põe-te no atrio da casa do Senhor e falla a todas as cidades de Judah, que veem a adorar na casa do Senhor, todas as palavras que te mandei que lhes fallasses; palavra nenhuma deixes:
3 If so be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Bem pode ser que ouçam, e se convertam cada um do seu mau caminho, e eu me arrependa do mal que intento fazer-lhes por causa da maldade das suas acções.
4 And you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Dize-lhes pois: Assim diz o Senhor: Se-não me derdes ouvidos para andardes na minha lei, a qual tenho posto diante de vós,
5 To listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, both rising up early, and sending them, but you have not listened;
Para que ouvisseis as palavras dos meus servos, os prophetas, que eu vos envio, madrugando e enviando, mas não ouvistes;
6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Então farei que esta casa seja como Silo, e farei d'esta cidade uma maldição para todas as nações da terra.
7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
E ouviram os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, a Jeremias, fallando estas palavras na casa do Senhor.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall surely die.
E succedeu que, acabando Jeremias de dizer tudo quanto o Senhor lhe havia ordenado que dissesse a todo o povo, pegaram n'elle os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, dizendo: Certamente morrerás,
9 Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
Porque prophetizaste no nome do Senhor, dizendo: Como Silo será esta casa, e esta cidade será assolada, de sorte que não haja morador n'ella. E ajuntou-se todo o povo contra Jeremias, na casa do Senhor.
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house.
E, ouvindo os principes de Judah estas palavras, subiram da casa do rei á casa do Senhor, e se assentaram á entrada da porta nova do Senhor.
11 Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
Então fallaram os sacerdotes e os prophetas aos principes e a todo o povo, dizendo: Este homem é réu de morte, porque prophetizou contra esta cidade, como o ouvistes com os vossos ouvidos.
12 Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
E fallou Jeremias a todos os principes a todo o povo, dizendo: O Senhor me enviou a prophetizar contra esta casa, e contra esta cidade, todas as palavras que ouvistes.
13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
Agora, pois, melhorae os vossos caminhos e as vossas acções, e ouvi a voz do Senhor vosso Deus, e arrepender-se-ha o Senhor do mal que fallou contra vós.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seems good and meet to you.
Eu, porém, eis que estou nas vossas mãos, fazei de mim conforme o que fôr bom e recto aos vossos olhos.
15 But know you for certain, that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
Porém sabei por certo que, se me matardes a mim, trareis sangue innocente sobre vós, e sobre esta cidade, e sobre os seus habitantes: porque, na verdade, o Senhor me enviou a vós, a fallar aos vossos ouvidos todas estas palavras.
16 Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
Então disseram os principes, e todo o povo, aos sacerdotes e aos prophetas: Não é este homem réu de morte, porque em nome do Senhor, nosso Deus, nos fallou.
17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Tambem se levantaram alguns homens d'entre os anciãos da terra, e fallaram a toda a congregação do povo, dizendo:
18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Micaias, o morashita, prophetizou nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judah, e fallou a todo o povo de Judah, dizendo: Assim disse o Senhor dos exercitos: Sião será lavrada como um campo, e Jerusalem será montões de pedras, e o monte d'esta casa altos de matto.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and sought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
Porventura logo o mataram, Ezequias, rei de Judah, e todo o Judah? Porventura não temeu ao Senhor, e o não supplicou á face do Senhor? e o Senhor se arrepende do mal que fallara contra elles: e nós fazemos um grande mal contra as nossas almas.
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Tambem houve um homem que prophetizava em nome do Senhor, a saber: Urias, filho de Semaia, de Kiriath-jearim, o qual prophetizou contra esta cidade, e contra esta terra, conforme todas as palavras de Jeremias.
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
E, ouvindo o rei Joaquim, e todos os seus valentes, e todos os principes, as suas palavras, procurou o rei matal-o; o que ouvindo Urias, temeu, e fugiu, e foi para o Egypto;
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
Porém o rei Joaquim enviou uns homens ao Egypto, a saber, Elnathan, filho de Achbor, e outros homens com elle ao Egypto,
23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Os quaes tiraram a Urias do Egypto, e o trouxeram ao rei Joaquim, que o feriu á espada, e lançou o seu cadaver nas sepulturas dos filhos do povo.
24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
A mão pois de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, foi com Jeremias, para que o não entregassem na mão do povo, para o matar.
