Jeremiah 26
1 Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:
No princípio do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, veio esta palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 “This is what [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.
Assim diz o Senhor: Põe-te no átrio da casa do Senhor e fala a todas as cidades de Judá, que veem a adorar na casa do Senhor, todas as palavras que te mandei que lhes falasses; palavra nenhuma deixes:
3 [If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.
Bem pode ser que ouçam, e se convertam cada um do seu mau caminho, e eu me arrependa do mal que intento fazer-lhes por causa da maldade das suas ações.
4 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,
Dize-lhes pois: Assim diz o Senhor: se não me derdes ouvidos para andardes na minha lei, a qual tenho posto diante de vós,
Para que ouvísseis as palavras dos meus servos, os profetas, que eu vos envio, madrugando e enviando, mas não ouvistes;
6 I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”
Então farei que esta casa seja como Silo, e farei desta cidade uma maldição para todas as nações da terra.
7 [When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the temple.
E ouviram os sacerdotes, e os profetas, e todo o povo, a Jeremias, falando estas palavras na casa do Senhor.
8 But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!
E sucedeu que, acabando Jeremias de dizer tudo quanto o Senhor lhe havia ordenado que dissesse a todo o povo, pegaram nele os sacerdotes, e os profetas, e todo o povo, dizendo: Certamente morrerás,
9 Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.
Porque profetizaste no nome do Senhor, dizendo: Como Silo será esta casa, e esta cidade será assolada, de sorte que não haja morador nela. E ajuntou-se todo o povo contra Jeremias, na casa do Senhor.
10 When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my case].
E, ouvindo os príncipes de Judá estas palavras, subiram da casa do rei à casa do Senhor, e se assentaram à entrada da porta nova do Senhor.
11 The priests and the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”
Então falaram os sacerdotes e os profetas aos príncipes e a todo o povo, dizendo: Este homem é réu de morte, porque profetizou contra esta cidade, como o ouvistes com os vossos ouvidos.
12 Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.
E falou Jeremias a todos os príncipes a todo o povo, dizendo: O Senhor me enviou a profetizar contra esta casa, e contra esta cidade, todas as palavras que ouvistes.
13 But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.
Agora, pois, melhorai os vossos caminhos e as vossas ações, e ouvi a voz do Senhor vosso Deus, e arrepender-se-á o Senhor do mal que falou contra vós.
14 As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.
Eu, porém, eis que estou nas vossas mãos, fazei de mim conforme o que for bom e reto aos vossos olhos.
15 [But you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”
Porém sabei por certo que, se me matardes a mim, trareis sangue inocente sobre vós, e sobre esta cidade, e sobre os seus habitantes: porque, na verdade, o Senhor me enviou a vós, a falar aos vossos ouvidos todas estas palavras.
16 Then the officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”
Então disseram os príncipes, e todo o povo, aos sacerdotes e aos profetas: Não é este homem réu de morte, porque em nome do Senhor, nosso Deus, nos falou.
17 Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were gathered [there].
Também se levantaram alguns homens dentre os anciãos da terra, e falaram a toda a congregação do povo, dizendo:
18 They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’
Micaias, o morashita, profetizou nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judá, e falou a todo o povo de Judá, dizendo: Assim disse o Senhor dos exércitos: Sião será lavrada como um campo, e Jerusalém será montões de pedras, e o monte desta casa altos de mato.
19 But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”
Porventura logo o mataram, Ezequias, rei de Judá, e todo o Judá? Porventura não temeu ao Senhor, e o não suplicou à face do Senhor? e o Senhor se arrepende do mal que falara contra eles: e nós fazemos um grande mal contra as nossas almas.
20 [At that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.
Também houve um homem que profetizava em nome do Senhor, a saber: Urias, filho de Semaia, de Kiriath-jearim, o qual profetizou contra esta cidade, e contra esta terra, conforme todas as palavras de Jeremias.
21 When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.
E, ouvindo o rei Joaquim, e todos os seus valentes, e todos os príncipes, as suas palavras, procurou o rei mata-lo; o que ouvindo Urias, temeu, e fugiu, e foi para o Egito;
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.
Porém o rei Joaquim enviou uns homens ao Egito, a saber, Elnathan, filho de Achbor, e outros homens com ele ao Egito,
23 They captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.
Os quais tiraram a Urias do Egito, e o trouxeram ao rei Joaquim, que o feriu à espada, e lançou o seu cadáver nas sepulturas dos filhos do povo.
24 However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
A mão pois de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, foi com Jeremias, para que o não entregassem na mão do povo, para o matar.
