Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
E Pasur, filho de Imer, o sacerdote, que era o principal supervisor na casa do SENHOR, ouviu a Jeremias enquanto profetizava estas palavras.
2 [So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
Então Pasur feriu ao profeta Jeremias, e o pôs no tronco que ficava à porta superior de Benjamim, a qual fica na casa do SENHOR.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
E foi no dia seguinte que Pasur tirou a Jeremias do tronco. Disse-lhe então Jeremias: O SENHOR não chama teu nome Pasur, mas sim “Terror por todos os lados”.
4 because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
Porque assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu farei de ti um terror a ti mesmo, e a todos os teus amigos; e cairão pelo espada de seus inimigos, e teus olhos o verão; e a todo Judá entregarei na mão do rei da Babilônia, e os levará cativos a Babilônia, e os ferirá à espada.
5 And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
Entregarei também toda a riqueza desta cidade, e todo seu trabalho, e todas suas coisas preciosas; e entregarei todos os tesouros dos reis de Judá nas mãos de seus inimigos, e os saquearão, e os tomarão, e os levarão a Babilônia.
6 And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
E tu, Pasur, e todos os moradores de tua casa ireis ao cativeiro, e entrarás na Babilônia, e ali morrerás; e ali serás sepultado, tu, e todos os teus amigos, aos quais profetizaste falsamente.
7 [One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
Persuadiste-me, ó SENHOR, e eu fiquei persuadido; mais forte foste que eu, e prevaleceste; sirvo de escárnio o dia todo; cada deles zomba de mim.
8 When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
Pois desde que falo, grito; eu clamo violência e destruição; pois a palavra do SENHOR tem me servido de insulto e zombaria o dia todo.
9 But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
Então eu disse: Não me lembrarei dele, nem falarei mais em seu nome; porém [ela] foi em meu coração como um fogo ardente contido em meus ossos; resisti até me cansar, mas não pude.
10 I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
Porque ouço a murmuração de muitos, temor por todos os lados: Anunciai, e anunciaremos. Todos os meus amigos observam meu manquejar, [dizendo]: Talvez se enganará; então prevaleceremos contra ele, e nos vingaremos dele.
11 But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
Mas o SENHOR está comigo como temível guerreiro; por isso meus perseguidores tropeçarão, e não prevalecerão; eles serão muito envergonhados, por não terem agido prudentemente; [terão] humilhação perpétua, que jamais será esquecida.
12 Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Tu, SENHOR dos exércitos, que examinas o justo, que vês os sentimentos e pensamentos, faz-me ver a tua vingança sobre eles; pois a ti revelei a minha causa.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
Cantai ao SENHOR, louvai ao SENHOR; pois ele livra a alma do necessitado da mão dos malfeitores.
14 But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
Maldito seja o dia em que nasci! O dia em que minha mãe me teve não seja bendito!
15 And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
Maldito seja o homem que deu as novas a meu pai, dizendo, Um filho macho te nasceu, trazendo-lhe assim muita alegria.
16 Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
E seja tal homem como as cidades que o SENHOR assolou sem se arrepender; e ouça gritos de manhã, e clamores ao meio dia;
17 [I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
Por ele não ter me matado no ventre, de modo que minha mãe teria sido minha sepultura, e o ventre uma gravidez perpétua.
18 I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
Para que saí do ventre? Para ver trabalho e dor, e meus dias serem gastos com vergonha?
