Jeremiah 36
1 When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
No quarto ano de Jeoiaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, esta palavra veio de Javé a Jeremias, dizendo:
2 “Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
“Pegue um rolo de livro e escreva nele todas as palavras que lhe falei contra Israel, contra Judá e contra todas as nações, desde o dia em que lhe falei, desde os dias de Josias até os dias de hoje.
3 When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
Pode ser que a casa de Judá ouça todo o mal que pretendo fazer com eles, para que cada um volte de seu mau caminho; para que eu perdoe sua iniqüidade e seu pecado”.
4 [So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
Então Jeremias chamou Baruch de filho de Neriah; e Baruch escreveu da boca de Jeremias todas as palavras de Iavé, que ele lhe havia falado, em um pergaminho de um livro.
5 Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
Jeremias ordenou a Baruque, dizendo: “Estou restrito. Eu não posso entrar na casa de Iavé.
6 So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
Portanto, vá, e leia do rolo que escreveu da minha boca, as palavras de Javé, nos ouvidos do povo da casa de Javé, no dia rápido. Você também as lerá aos ouvidos de todos os Judas que saírem de suas cidades.
7 Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
Pode ser que eles apresentem sua súplica diante de Iavé, e cada um retornará de seu mau caminho; pois Iavé pronunciou grande raiva e ira contra este povo”.
8 Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
Baruch, filho de Nereu, fez de acordo com tudo o que Jeremias, o profeta, lhe ordenou, lendo no livro Palavras de Yahweh na casa de Yahweh.
9 He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
Agora, no quinto ano de Jeoiaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, no nono mês, todo o povo de Jerusalém e todo o povo que veio das cidades de Judá para Jerusalém, proclamou um jejum diante de Iavé.
10 Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
Então Baruc leu as palavras de Jeremias do livro na casa de Javé, no quarto de Gemarias, filho de Safã, o escriba, na corte superior, na entrada do novo portão da casa de Javé, nos ouvidos de todo o povo.
11 When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
Quando Micaías, filho de Gemarias, filho de Shaphan, ouviu do livro todas as palavras de Javé,
12 he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
foi à casa do rei, ao quarto do escriba; e eis que todos os príncipes estavam ali sentados, Elishama, o escriba, Delaías, filho de Semaías, Elnatã, filho de Acbor, Gemarias, filho de Shaphan, Zedequias, filho de Hananias, e todos os príncipes.
13 When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
Então Micaías declarou a eles todas as palavras que tinha ouvido, quando Baruc leu o livro aos ouvidos do povo.
14 the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
Portanto, todos os príncipes enviaram Jeudi, filho de Netanias, filho de Selemias, filho de Cushi, a Baruc, dizendo: “Pegue em sua mão o pergaminho em que leu aos ouvidos do povo, e venha”. Então Baruch, o filho de Neriah, pegou o pergaminho em sua mão, e veio até eles.
15 They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
Eles lhe disseram: “Sente-se agora, e leia-o em nossa audiência”. Então Baruch leu em sua audiência.
16 After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
Agora, quando ouviram todas as palavras, voltaram-se uns para os outros com medo e disseram a Baruch: “Certamente diremos ao rei todas estas palavras”.
17 Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
Eles perguntaram a Baruch, dizendo: “Diga-nos agora, como você escreveu todas essas palavras na boca dele”?
18 Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
Então Baruch respondeu-lhes: “Ele me ditou todas estas palavras com sua boca e eu as escrevi com tinta no livro”.
19 Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
Então os príncipes disseram a Baruc: “Você e Jeremias vão se esconder. Não deixem ninguém saber onde vocês estão”.
20 They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
Eles foram até o rei para a corte, mas tinham colocado o pergaminho na sala de Elishama, o escriba. Em seguida, contaram todas as palavras na audiência do rei.
21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
Então o rei enviou a Jehudi para pegar o pergaminho e o tirou da sala de Elishama, o escriba. Jehudi o leu na audiência do rei, e na audiência de todos os príncipes que estavam ao lado do rei.
22 It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
Now o rei estava sentado na casa de inverno no nono mês, e havia um fogo no braseiro que ardia diante dele.
23 Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
Quando Jehudi leu três ou quatro colunas, o rei o cortou com o canivete e o jogou no fogo que estava no braseiro, até que todo o pergaminho foi consumido no fogo que estava no braseiro.
24 Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
O rei e seus servos que ouviram todas estas palavras não tiveram medo, e não rasgaram suas vestes.
25 Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
Além disso, Elnatã e Delaías e Gemarias haviam intercedido junto ao rei para que ele não queimasse o pergaminho; mas ele não os ouviria.
26 Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
O rei ordenou que Jerameel, filho do rei, e Seraías, filho de Azriel, e Selemias, filho de Abdeel, prendessem Baruque, o escriba, e Jeremias, o profeta; mas Javé os escondeu.
27 After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
Então a palavra de Javé veio a Jeremias, depois que o rei queimou o pergaminho e as palavras que Baruc escreveu na boca de Jeremias, dizendo:
28 “Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
“Pegue novamente outro pergaminho e escreva nele todas as palavras anteriores que estavam no primeiro pergaminho, que Jehoiaquim, o rei de Judá, queimou.
29 [Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
A respeito de Jeoiaquim, rei de Judá, você dirá: 'Javé diz: “Você queimou este pergaminho, dizendo: “Por que você escreveu nele, dizendo: 'O rei da Babilônia certamente virá e destruirá esta terra, e fará cessar de lá o homem e o animal...'””.
30 Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
Portanto Yahweh diz a respeito de Jehoiakim, rei de Judá: “Ele não terá ninguém para sentar-se no trono de Davi”. Seu cadáver será expulso de dia para o calor e de noite para a geada”.
31 I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
Castigarei ele, seus descendentes e seus servos por sua iniqüidade”. Trarei sobre eles, sobre os habitantes de Jerusalém, e sobre os homens de Judá, todo o mal que pronunciei contra eles, mas eles não ouviram””.
32 So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
Então Jeremias pegou outro pergaminho e o deu a Baruc, o escriba, filho de Nerias, que nele escreveu da boca de Jeremias todas as palavras do livro que Jeoiaquim, rei de Judá, havia queimado no fogo; e muitas palavras semelhantes foram acrescentadas a elas.
