Jeremiah 37
1 And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigns instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
E reinou o rei Zedekias, filho de Josias, em logar de Conias, filho de Joaquim, a quem Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, constituiu rei na terra de Judah.
2 and he has not listened—he, and his servants, and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Porém nem elle, nem os seus servos, nem o povo da terra deram ouvidos ás palavras do Senhor que fallou pelo ministerio de Jeremias, o propheta.
3 And Zedekiah the king sends Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray, we implore you, for us to our God YHWH.”
Comtudo mandou o rei Zedekias a Juchal, filho de Selemias, e a Sofonias, filho de Maaseias, o sacerdote, a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Roga agora por nós ao Senhor nosso Deus.
4 And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
E entrava e sahia Jeremias entre o povo, porque não o tinham posto na casa do carcere.
5 and the force of Pharaoh has come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans who are laying siege against Jerusalem hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
E o exercito de Pharaó saiu do Egypto: e, ouvindo os chaldeos, que tinham em sitio a Jerusalem, as novas d'isto, retiraram-se de Jerusalem.
6 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Então veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
7 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Thus you say to the king of Judah who is sending you to Me, to seek Me: Behold, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help has turned back to its land, to Egypt,
Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Assim direis ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a mim a perguntar-me: Eis que o exercito de Pharaó, que saiu para soccorro vosso, voltar-se-ha para a sua terra no Egypto.
8 and the Chaldeans have turned back and fought against this city, and captured it, and burned it with fire.
E voltarão os chaldeos, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo.
9 Thus said YHWH: Do not lift up your souls, saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
Assim diz o Senhor: Não enganeis as vossas almas, dizendo: Sem duvida se irão os chaldeos de nós: porque não se irão.
10 for though you had struck all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men—they rise, each in his tent, and have burned this city with fire.”
Porque ainda que ferisseis a todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que peleja contra vós, e ficassem de resto d'elles homens traspassados, cada um levantar-se-hia na sua tenda, e queimaria a fogo esta cidade.
11 And it has come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
E succedeu que, subindo de Jerusalem o exercito dos chaldeos, por causa do exercito de Pharaó,
12 that Jeremiah goes out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion there in the midst of the people.
Saiu Jeremias de Jerusalem, para ir á terra de Benjamin, para esquivar-se de ali entre o meio do povo.
13 And it comes to pass, he is at the Gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward, and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah; and he catches Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
Porém, estando elle á porta de Benjamin, achava-se ali um capitão da guarda, cujo nome era Jerias, filho de Selemias, filho de Hananias: o qual prendeu a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Tu foges para os chaldeos.
14 And Jeremiah says, “Falsehood! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and he has not listened to him, and Irijah lays hold on Jeremiah, and brings him to the heads,
E Jeremias disse: Isso é falso, não fujo para o chaldeos. Porém não lhe deu ouvidos; antes Jerias prendeu a Jeremias, e o levou aos principes.
15 and the heads are angry against Jeremiah, and have struck him, and put him in the prison-house—the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made it for a prison-house.
E os principes se iraram muito contra Jeremias, e o feriram; e o pozeram na casa da prisão, na casa de Jonathan, o escrivão; porque tinham feito d'ella a casa do carcere.
16 When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and to the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days,
Entrando pois Jeremias na casa do calaboiço, e nas suas camarinhas, ficou ali Jeremias muitos dias.
17 and King Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and says, “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah says, “There is,” and he says, “You are given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
E enviou o rei Zedekias a tiral-o; e o rei lhe perguntou em sua casa, em segredo, e disse: Ha porventura alguma palavra do Senhor? E disse Jeremias: Ha. E elle disse: Na mão do rei de Babylonia serás entregue.
18 And Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into a prison-house?
Disse mais Jeremias ao rei Zedekias: Em que tenho peccado contra ti, e contra os teus servos, e contra este povo, para que me pozesseis na casa do carcere?
19 And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land?
Onde estão agora os vossos prophetas, que vos prophetizavam, dizendo: O rei de Babylonia não virá contra vós nem contra esta terra?
20 And now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my supplication fall before you, and do not cause me to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I do not die there.”
Ora pois ouve agora, ó rei, meu senhor: caia agora a minha supplica diante de ti, e não me deixes tornar á casa de Jonathan, o escriba, para que não venha a morrer alli.
21 And King Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give a cake of bread to him daily from the bakers’ street, until the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
Então deu ordem o rei Zedekias que pozessem a Jeremias no atrio da guarda; e deram-lhe um bolo de pão cada dia, da rua dos padeiros, até que se acabou todo o pão da cidade: assim ficou Jeremias no atrio da guarda.
