Jeremiah 25
1 After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.
Palavra que veio a Jeremias quanto a todo o povo de Judá, no quarto ano de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, (o qual é o primeiro ano de Nabucodonosor rei de Babilônia);
2 I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
A qual o profeta Jeremias falou a todo o povo de Judá, e a todos os moradores de Jerusalém, dizendo:
3 “Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.
Desde o ano treze de Josias, filho de Amom, rei de Judá, até este dia, isto é, há vinte e três anos, tem vindo a mim a palavra do SENHOR; e eu tenho vos falado, insistentemente vos falando; porém vós não escutastes.
4 Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.
E o SENHOR enviou a vós todos seus servos os profetas, insistentemente os enviando; porém vos não escutastes, nem inclinastes vossos ouvidos para escutar,
5 Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.
Quando diziam: Convertei-vos agora, cada um de seu mau caminho, e da maldade de vossas ações, e habitai na terra que o SENHOR deu a vós e a vossos pais para todo o sempre;
6 Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’
E não segui deuses estrangeiros, para os servirdes e encurvardes a eles, nem me provoqueis à ira com a obra de vossas mãos; para que eu não vos faça mal.
7 And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.
Porém vós não me destes ouvidos, diz o SENHOR, para me provocardes à ira com a obra de vossas mãos, para o vosso mal.
8 So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,
Portanto assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Visto quanto não tendes ouvido minhas palavras,
9 I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.
Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a todas as famílias do norte, diz o SENHOR, e a Nabucodonosor rei de Babilônia, meu servo, e os trarei contra esta terra, e contra seus moradores, e contra todas estas nações ao redor; e os destruirei, e os farei de espanto, assovio, e de desolações perpétuas.
10 I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].
E eliminarei dentre eles a voz de júbilo e voz de alegria, voz de noivo e voz de noiva, o ruído das pedras de moer, e a luz de lâmpada.
11 All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.
E toda esta terra se tornará em desolação, [e] em espanto; e estas nações servirão ao rei da Babilônia [por] setenta anos.
12 Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.
E será que, quando os setenta anos forem completados, punirei ao rei da Babilônia e àquela nação por sua maldade, diz o SENHOR, assim como a terra dos Caldeus; e a tornarei em desolações para sempre.
13 I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.
E trarei sobre aquela terra todas as minhas palavras que falado contra ela: tudo o que está escrito neste livro, que Jeremias profetizou contra todas as nações.
14 The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”
Porque também deles se servirão muitas nações e grandes reis; assim lhes pagarei conforme seus feitos, conforme a obra de suas mãos.
15 Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.
Porque assim me disse o SENHOR Deus de Israel: Toma de minha mão este copo de vinho do [meu] furor, e dá de beber dele a todas as nações às quais eu te envio.
16 When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”
E beberão, tremerão, e enlouquecerão, por causa da espada que eu envio entre eles.
17 So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].
E eu tomei o copo da mão do SENHOR, e dei de beber a todas as nações às quais o SENHOR tinha me enviado:
18 [I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.
A Jerusalém, às cidades de Judá; e a seus reis e seus príncipes, para torná-los em desolação, em espanto, em assovio, e em maldição, tal como é hoje;
19 [In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,
A Faraó rei do Egito, e a seus servos, seus príncipes, e a todo o seu povo;
20 and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
E a todas os [povos ali] misturados; e a todos os reis da terra de Uz, e a todos os reis da terra dos filisteus, e a Asquelom, Gaza, e Ecrom; e aos restantes de Asdode;
21 [Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
A Edom, Moabe, e aos filhos de Amom;
22 and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
E a todos os reis de Tiro, e a todos os reis da Sidom, e aos reis dos litorais que estão além do mar;
23 [In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].
E a Dedã, e Tema, e Buz, e a todos os dos cantos mais distantes.
24 [In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
E a todos os reis de Arábia, e a todos os reis dos povos misturados que habitam no deserto;
25 and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
E a todos os reis de Zinri, e a todos os reis de Elão, e a todos os reis de Média;
26 and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].
E a todos os reis do norte, os de perto e os de longe, tanto uns como os outros; e a todos os reinos da terra que estão sobre a face da terra; e o rei de Sesaque beberá depois deles.
27 Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.
Pois tu lhes dirás: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Bebei, e embriagai-vos, vomitai, caí, e não vos levanteis, por causa da espada que eu envio entre vós.
28 If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.
E será que, se não querem tomar o copo de tua mão para beber, então tu lhes dirás: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Certamente bebereis;
29 I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’
Pois eis que na cidade que se chama pelo meu nome eu começo a castigar; e vós ficaríeis impunes? Não ficareis impunes, porque eu estou chamando espada contra todos os moradores da terra, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
30 Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.
Tu, pois, profetizarás a eles todas estas palavras, e lhes dirás: O SENHOR bramará desde o alto, e levantará sua voz a sua santa morada; bramará intensamente sobre sua morada; dará forte grito, tal como os que pisam as uvas, contra todos os moradores da terra.
31 Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’
Chegará o estrondo até o extremo da terra; porque o SENHOR disputa com as nações; entrará em juízo com todos; [e] entregará os perversos à espada, diz o SENHOR.
32 Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.
Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eis que a calamidade sai de nação em nação, e uma grande tempestade se levantará desde os confins da terra.
33 When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.
E os mortos pelo SENHOR naquele dia serão desde um extremo da terra até o outro extremo; não serão lamentados, nem recolhidos, nem sepultados; serão como esterco sobre a face da terra.
34 You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].
Uivai, pastores, e clamai; e revolvei-vos [na cinza], líderes do rebanho; porque já se cumpriram vossos dias para serdes mortos; e sereis dispersos e caireis como um vaso precioso.
35 You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
E não haverá meio de fuga para os pastores, nem escape para os líderes do rebanho.
36 [People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
Haverá voz do grito dos pastores, e uivo dos lideres do rebanho; porque o SENHOR assolou os seus pastos.
37 Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
E as pastagens quietas serão devastadas por causa do furor da ira do SENHOR.
38 I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
Ele deixou seu abrigo tal como filhote de leão; pois assolada foi a terra deles, pelo furor do opressor, e pelo furor de sua ira.
