< Jeremias 26 >
1 No principio do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah, veiu esta palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word 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:
Thus hath said the Lord, Place thyself in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak against all of the cities of Judah, who come to prostrate themselves in the house of the Lord, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them: omit not a word [thereof];
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.
Perhaps it be that they will hearken, and return every man from his evil way, that I may bethink me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them, because of the wrongfulness of their doings.
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 thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, if ye will not hearken unto me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 Para que ouvisseis as palavras dos meus servos, os prophetas, que eu vos envio, madrugando e enviando, mas não ouvistes;
To hearken unto the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send unto you, yea, making them rise up early, and sending them, while ye have not hearkened:
6 Então farei que esta casa seja como Silo, e farei d'esta cidade uma maldição para todas as nações da terra.
Then will I render this house like Shiloh, and this city will I render a curse unto 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 the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking 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,
And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded [him] to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
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 hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, Like Shiloh shall this house be, and this city shall be ruined, [left] without an inhabitant? And all the people assembled themselves against 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.
But when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down at the entrance of the new gate 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 said the priests and the prophets unto the princes and unto all the people, as followeth, This man deserveth the punishment of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your own ears.
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 said Jeremiah unto all the princes and unto all the people, as followeth, The Lord hath sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
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.
But now amend your ways and your doings, and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God: and the Lord will bethink him of the evil that he hath spoken against you.
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, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and just in your eyes.
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.
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye will surely place [the guilt of] innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for in truth hath the Lord sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.
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 said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets, This man is not deserving the punishment of death; for in the name of the Lord our God hath he spoken unto us.
17 Tambem se levantaram alguns homens d'entre os anciãos da terra, e fallaram a toda a congregação do povo, dizendo:
And then rose up certain men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people, as followeth,
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.
Michah the Morashthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah the king of Judah. and said to all the people of Judah, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Zion shall be ploughed up like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house, woody high-places.
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 the king of Judah and all Judah attempt to put him to death? behold, he did fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord bethought him of the evil which he had spoken against them. And shall we bring a great wickedness on our souls?
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 also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriyah the son of Shema'yahu of Kiryath-ye'arim, who prophesied against this city and against this land in accordance with all the words of Jeremiah;
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 king Jehoyakim, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriyahu heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and arrived in Egypt;
22 Porém o rei Joaquim enviou uns homens ao Egypto, a saber, Elnathan, filho de Achbor, e outros homens com elle ao Egypto,
But king Jehoyakim sent some men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of 'Achbor, and some 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 fetched Uriyahu out of Egypt, and brought him unto king Jehoyakim, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body upon the graves 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 the hand of Achikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
