Jeremias 26
1 No principio do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah, veiu esta palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
When Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king, this word came from the Lord, saying,
2 Assim diz o Senhor: Põe-te no atrio da casa do Senhor e falla a todas as cidades de Judah, que veem a adorar na casa do Senhor, todas as palavras que te mandei que lhes fallasses; palavra nenhuma deixes:
This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;
3 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 acções.
It may be that they will give ear, and that every man will be turned from his evil way, so that my purpose of sending evil on them because of the evil of their doings may be changed.
4 Dize-lhes pois: Assim diz o Senhor: Se-não me derdes ouvidos para andardes na minha lei, a qual tenho posto diante de vós,
And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: If you do not give ear to me and go in the way of my law which I have put before you,
5 Para que ouvisseis as palavras dos meus servos, os prophetas, que eu vos envio, madrugando e enviando, mas não ouvistes;
And give ear to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, getting up early and sending them, though you gave no attention;
6 Então farei que esta casa seja como Silo, e farei d'esta cidade uma maldição para todas as nações da terra.
Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this town a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 E ouviram os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, a Jeremias, fallando estas palavras na casa do Senhor.
And in the hearing of the priests and the prophets and all the people, Jeremiah said these words in the house of the Lord.
8 E succedeu que, acabando Jeremias de dizer tudo quanto o Senhor lhe havia ordenado que dissesse a todo o povo, pegaram n'elle os sacerdotes, e os prophetas, e todo o povo, dizendo: Certamente morrerás,
Now, when Jeremiah had come to the end of saying everything the Lord had given him orders to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him by force, saying, Death will certainly be your fate.
9 Porque prophetizaste no nome do Senhor, dizendo: Como Silo será esta casa, e esta cidade será assolada, de sorte que não haja morador n'ella. E ajuntou-se todo o povo contra Jeremias, na casa do Senhor.
Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 E, ouvindo os principes de Judah estas palavras, subiram da casa do rei á casa do Senhor, e se assentaram á entrada da porta nova do Senhor.
And the rulers of Judah, hearing of these things, came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and took their seats by the new door of the Lord's house.
11 Então fallaram os sacerdotes e os prophetas aos principes e a todo o povo, dizendo: Este homem é réu de morte, porque prophetizou contra esta cidade, como o ouvistes com os vossos ouvidos.
Then the priests and the prophets said to the rulers and to all the people, The right fate for this man is death; for he has said words against this town in your hearing.
12 E fallou Jeremias a todos os principes a todo o povo, dizendo: O Senhor me enviou a prophetizar contra esta casa, e contra esta cidade, todas as palavras que ouvistes.
Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to your ears.
13 Agora, pois, melhorae os vossos caminhos e as vossas acções, e ouvi a voz do Senhor vosso Deus, e arrepender-se-ha o Senhor do mal que fallou contra vós.
So now, make a change for the better in your ways and your doings, and give ear to the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will let himself be turned from the decision he has made against you for evil.
14 Eu, porém, eis que estou nas vossas mãos, fazei de mim conforme o que fôr bom e recto aos vossos olhos.
As for me, here I am in your hands: do with me whatever seems good and right in your opinion.
15 Porém sabei por certo que, se me matardes a mim, trareis sangue innocente sobre vós, e sobre esta cidade, e sobre os seus habitantes: porque, na verdade, o Senhor me enviou a vós, a fallar aos vossos ouvidos todas estas palavras.
Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.
16 Então disseram os principes, e todo o povo, aos sacerdotes e aos prophetas: Não é este homem réu de morte, porque em nome do Senhor, nosso Deus, nos fallou.
Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.
17 Tambem se levantaram alguns homens d'entre os anciãos da terra, e fallaram a toda a congregação do povo, dizendo:
Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,
18 Micaias, o morashita, prophetizou nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judah, e fallou a todo o povo de Judah, dizendo: Assim disse o Senhor dos exercitos: Sião será lavrada como um campo, e Jerusalem será montões de pedras, e o monte d'esta casa altos de matto.
Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.
19 Porventura logo o mataram, Ezequias, rei de Judah, e todo o Judah? Porventura não temeu ao Senhor, e o não supplicou á face do Senhor? e o Senhor se arrepende do mal que fallara contra elles: e nós fazemos um grande mal contra as nossas almas.
Did Hezekiah and all Judah put him to death? did he not in the fear of the Lord make prayer for the grace of the Lord, and the Lord let himself be turned from the decision he had made against them for evil? By this act we might do great evil against ourselves.
20 Tambem houve um homem que prophetizava em nome do Senhor, a saber: Urias, filho de Semaia, de Kiriath-jearim, o qual prophetizou contra esta cidade, e contra esta terra, conforme todas as palavras de Jeremias.
And there was another man who was a prophet of the Lord, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; he said against this town and against this land all the words which Jeremiah had said:
21 E, ouvindo o rei Joaquim, e todos os seus valentes, e todos os principes, as suas palavras, procurou o rei matal-o; o que ouvindo Urias, temeu, e fugiu, e foi para o Egypto;
And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:
22 Porém o rei Joaquim enviou uns homens ao Egypto, a saber, Elnathan, filho de Achbor, e outros homens com elle ao Egypto,
And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.
23 Os quaes tiraram a Urias do Egypto, e o trouxeram ao rei Joaquim, que o feriu á espada, e lançou o seu cadaver nas sepulturas dos filhos do povo.
And they took Uriah out of Egypt and came back with him to Jehoiakim the king; who put him to death with the sword, and had his dead body put into the resting-place of the bodies of the common people.
24 A mão pois de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, foi com Jeremias, para que o não entregassem na mão do povo, para o matar.
But Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, gave Jeremiah his help, so that he was not given into the hands of the people to be put to death.
