< Jeremiah 34 >
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from YHWH, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of it, saying:
A palavra que do Senhor veiu a Jeremias, quando Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, e todo o seu exercito, e todos os reinos da terra, que estavam sob o dominio da sua mão, e todos os povos, pelejavam contra Jerusalem, e contra todas as suas cidades, dizendo:
2 "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Vae, e falla a Zedekias, rei de Judah, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que eu dou esta cidade na mão do rei de Babylonia, e queimal-a-ha a fogo.
3 and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.'
E tu não escaparás á sua mão; antes decerto serás preso, e serás entregue na sua mão: e teus olhos verão os olhos do rei de Babylonia, e elle te fallará bocca a bocca, e entrarás em Babylonia
4 Yet hear the word of YHWH, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says YHWH concerning you, 'You shall not die by the sword;
Todavia ouve a palavra do Senhor, ó Zedekias, rei de Judah: assim diz o Senhor de ti: Não morrerás á espada.
5 you shall die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, saying, "Ah Lord." for I have spoken the word,' says YHWH."'"
Em paz morrerás, e conforme as queimas de teus paes, os reis precedentes, que foram antes de ti, assim te queimarão a ti, e prantear-te-hão, dizendo: Ah Senhor! porque eu disse a palavra, diz o Senhor.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
E fallou Jeremias, o propheta, a Zedekias, rei de Judah, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalem,
7 when the king of Babylon's army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
Quando o exercito do rei de Babylonia pelejava contra Jerusalem, e contra todas as cidades de Judah, que ficaram de resto: contra Lachis e contra Azeca; porque estas fortes cidades ficaram de resto, d'entre as cidades de Judah.
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
A palavra que do Senhor veiu a Jeremias, depois que o rei Zedekias fez concerto com todo o povo que havia em Jerusalem, para lhes apregoar a liberdade;
9 that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free; that none should keep a fellow Judean in bondage.
Que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, hebreo ou hebrea; de maneira que ninguem se fizesse servir d'elles, sendo judeos, seus irmãos.
10 And all the officials and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant, and everyone his female servant, go free, that none should make bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
E ouviram todos os principes, e todo o povo que entrou no concerto, que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, de maneira que não se fizessem mais servir d'elles: ouviram pois, e os soltaram.
11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Porém depois se arrependeram, e fizeram voltar os servos e as servas que largaram livres, e os sujeitaram por servos e por servas.
12 Therefore the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Veiu pois a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
13 "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: 'I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Eu fiz concerto com vossos paes, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egypto, da casa de servos, dizendo:
14 "At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you": but your fathers did not listen to me, neither inclined their ear.
Ao fim de sete annos largareis cada um a seu irmão hebreo, que te fôr vendido a ti, e te houver servido a ti seis annos, e despedil-o-has forro de ti; porém vossos paes me não ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos.
15 You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
E vos havieis hoje convertido, e tinheis feito o que é recto aos meus olhos, apregoando liberdade cada um ao seu proximo; e tinheis feito diante de mim um concerto, na casa que se chama pelo meu nome:
16 but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
Porém vos tornastes, e profanastes o meu nome, e fizestes voltar cada um ao seu servo, e cada um á sua serva, os quaes já tinheis despedido forros conforme a sua vontade; e os sujeitastes, para que se vos fizessem servos e servas.
17 Therefore thus says YHWH: "You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: look, I proclaim to you a liberty, says YHWH, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Vós me não ouvistes a mim, para apregoardes a liberdade, cada um ao seu irmão, e cada um ao seu proximo; pois eis que eu vos apregôo a liberdade, diz o Senhor, para a espada, para a pestilencia, e para a fome; e dar-vos-hei por espanto a todos os reinos da terra.
18 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts;
E entregarei os homens que, traspassaram o meu concerto, que não confirmaram as palavras do concerto, que fizeram diante de mim, com o bezerro, que fenderam em duas partes, e passaram pelo meio das suas porções;
19 the officials of Judah, and the officials of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
A saber, os principes de Judah, e os principes de Jerusalem, os eunuchos, e os sacerdotes, e todo o povo da terra que passou por meio das porções do bezerro;
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth.
Entregal-os-hei, digo, na mão de seus inimigos, e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, e os cadaveres d'elles serão para mantimento ás aves dos céus e aos animaes da terra.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, who have gone away from you.
E até o rei Zedekias, rei de Judah, e seus principes entregarei na mão de seus inimigos e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, a saber, na mão do exercito do rei de Babylonia, que já se retirou de vós.
22 Look, I will command, says YHWH, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."'"
Eis que eu darei ordem, diz o Senhor, e os farei tornar a esta cidade, e pelejarão contra ella, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo; e as cidades de Judah porei em assolação, que ninguem habite n'ellas.
