Jeremiah 29
1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
E estas são as palavras da carta que Jeremias, o propheta, enviou de Jerusalem, ao resto do captiveiro dos anciãos, como tambem aos sacerdotes, e aos prophetas, e a todo o povo que Nabucodonozor havia transportado de Jerusalem a Babylonia;
2 after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—
Depois que sairam o rei Jechonias, e a rainha, e os eunuchos, e os principes de Judah e Jerusalem, e os carpinteiros e ferreiros de Jerusalem,
3 by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
Pela mão de Elasa, filho de Saphan, e de Gemarias, filho de Hilkias, os quaes enviou Zedekias, rei de Judah, a Babylonia, a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, dizendo:
4 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus d'Israel, a todos os que foram transportados, os quaes fiz transportar de Jerusalem para Babylonia:
5 Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;
Edificae casas e habitae n'ellas; e plantae jardins, e comei o seu fructo.
6 take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;
Tomae mulheres e gerae filhos e filhas, e tomae mulheres para vossos filhos, e dae vossas filhas a maridos, e parirão filhos e filhas; e multiplicae-vos ali, e não vos diminuaes.
7 and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.
E procurae a paz da cidade, para onde vos fiz transportar, e orae por ella ao Senhor; porque na sua paz vós tereis paz.
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;
Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus d'Israel: Não vos enganem os vossos prophetas que estão no meio de vós, nem os vossos adivinhos, nem deis ouvidos aos vossos sonhos, que vós sonhaes:
9 for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.
Porque elles vos prophetizam falsamente no meu nome: não os enviei, diz o Senhor.
10 For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.
Porque assim diz o Senhor: Certamente que em se cumprindo setenta annos em Babylonia, vos visitarei, e continuarei sobre vós a minha boa palavra, tornando-vos a trazer a este logar.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
Porque eu bem sei os pensamentos que eu penso de vós, diz o Senhor; pensamentos de paz, e não de mal, para vos dar o fim que esperaes.
12 And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,
Então me invocareis, e ireis, e orareis a mim, e eu vos ouvirei.
13 and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;
E buscar-me-heis, e me achareis, quando me buscardes com todo o vosso coração.
14 and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.
E serei achado de vós, diz o Senhor, e farei tornar os vossos captivos, e congregar-vos-hei de todas as nações, e de todos os logares para onde vos lancei, diz o Senhor, e tornarei a trazer-vos ao logar d'onde vos transportei.
15 Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,
Porque dizeis: O Senhor nos levantou prophetas em Babylonia.
16 surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—
Porque assim diz o Senhor ácerca do rei que se assenta no throno de David; e ácerca de todo o povo que habita n'esta cidade, a saber, de vossos irmãos, que não sairam comvosco para o captiveiro;
17 thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Eis que enviarei entre elles a espada, a fome e a peste, e fal-os-hei como a figos podres, que não se podem comer, de maus que são.
18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,
E perseguil-os-hei com a espada, com a fome, e com a peste; dal-os-hei para servirem de commoção a todos os reinos da terra, como tambem por maldição, e por espanto, e por assobio, e por opprobrio entre toda sas nações para onde os lançar;
19 because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.
Porquanto não deram ouvidos ás minhas palavras, diz o Senhor, enviando-lhes eu os meus servos, os prophetas, madrugando e enviando; porém vós não escutastes, diz o Senhor.
20 And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—
Vós, pois, ouvi a palavra do Senhor, todos os do captiveiro que enviei de Jerusalem a Babylonia.
21 thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel, ácerca de Ahab, filho de Colaias, e de Zedekias, filho de Maaseias, que vos prophetizam falsamente no meu nome: Eis que os entregarei na mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, e elle os ferirá diante dos vossos olhos.
22 and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
E tomarão d'elles uma maldição todos os transportados de Judah, que estão em Babylonia, dizendo: O Senhor te faça como Zedekias, e como Ahab, os quaes o rei de Babylonia assou no fogo
23 because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.
Porquanto fizeram loucura em Israel, e commetteram adulterio com as mulheres de seus companheiros, e fallaram uma palavra no meu nome falsamente, que não lhes mandei, e eu o sei e sou testemunha d'isso, diz o Senhor.
24 And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
E a Shemaias, o nehelamita, fallarás, dizendo:
25 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus d'Israel, dizendo: Porquanto tu enviaste no teu nome cartas a todo o povo que está em Jerusalem, como tambem a Sofonias, filho de Maaseias, o sacerdote, e a todos os sacerdotes, dizendo:
26 YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.
O Senhor te poz por sacerdote em logar de Joiada, o sacerdote, para que sejaes encarregados da casa do Senhor sobre todo o homem furioso, e que prophetiza, para o lançares na prisão e no tronco.
27 And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
Agora, pois, porque não reprehendeste a Jeremias, o anathotita, que prophetiza vos?
28 Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”
Porque por isso nos mandou a nós a Babylonia, dizendo: Ainda o captiveiro muito ha de durar; edificae casas, e habitae n'ellas; e plantae jardins, e comei o seu fructo.
29 And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
E lera Sofonias, o sacerdote, esta carta aos ouvidos de Jeremias, o propheta.
30 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
E veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, dizendo:
31 “Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,
Manda a todos os do captiveiro, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor ácerca de Semaias, o nehelamita: Porquanto Semaias vos prophetizou, e eu não o enviei, e vos fez confiar em mentiras,
32 therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”
Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Eis que visitarei a Semaias, o nehelamita, e a sua semente: elle não terá ninguem que habite entre este povo, e não verá o bem que hei de fazer ao meu povo, diz o Senhor, porquanto fallou rebellião contra o Senhor.
