< Jeremias 32 >

1 A palavra que veiu a Jeremias da parte do Senhor, no anno decimo de Zedekias, rei de Judah; este anno foi o anno dezoito de Nabucodonozor
After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
2 (Cercava, porém, então o exercito do rei de Babylonia a Jerusalem; e Jeremias, o propheta, estava encerrado no pateo da guarda que estava na casa do rei de Judah;
His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
3 Porque Zedekias, rei de Judah, o tinha encerrado, dizendo: Porque prophetizas tu, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que entrego esta cidade na mão do rei de Babylonia, e elle a tomará;
King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
4 E Zedekias, rei de Judah, não escapará das mãos dos chaldeos; mas certamente será entregue na mão do rei de Babylonia, e com elle fallará bocca a bocca, e os seus olhos verão os d'elle
And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
5 E levará Zedekias para Babylonia, e ali estará, até que eu visite, diz o Senhor, e, ainda que pelejeis contra os chaldeos, não ganhareis?)
Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
6 Disse pois Jeremias: Veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
7 Eis que Hanameel, filho de Sallum, teu tio, virá a ti, dizendo: Compra para ti a minha herdade que está em Anathot, pois tens o direito de resgate para compral-a.
“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
8 Veiu pois a mim Hanameel, filho de meu tio, segundo a palavra do Senhor, ao pateo da guarda, e me disse: Compra agora a minha herdade que está em Anathot, que está na terra de Benjamin; porque tens o direito hereditario, e tens o resgate; compra-a para ti. Então entendi que isto era a palavra do Senhor.
And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
9 Comprei pois a herdade de Hanameel, filho de meu tio, a qual está em Anathot; e pesei-lhe o dinheiro, dezesete siclos de prata.
[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
10 E subscrevi o auto, e sellei-o, e o fiz testificar por testemunhas: e pesei-lhe o dinheiro n'uma balança.
I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
11 E tomei o auto da compra, tanto o sellado, conforme o mandado e os estatutos, como o aberto.
Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
12 E dei o auto da compra a Baruch, filho de Nerias, filho de Maaseias, perante os olhos de Hanameel, filho de meu tio, e perante os olhos das testemunhas, que subscreveram o conhecimento da compra, e perante os olhos de todos os judeos que se assentavam no pateo da guarda.
and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
13 E dei ordem a Baruch, perante os olhos d'elles, dizendo:
[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
14 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Toma estes autos, este auto de compra, tanto o sellado, como o aberto, e mette-os n'um vaso de barro, para que se possam conservar muitos dias,
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
15 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Ainda se comprarão casas, e campos, e vinhas n'esta terra.
[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
16 E depois que dei o auto da compra a Baruch, filho de Nerias, orei ao Senhor, dizendo:
After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
17 Ah Senhor Jehovah! eis que tu fizeste os céus e a terra com a tua grande potencia, e com o teu braço estendido: não te é maravilhosa coisa alguma:
“Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
18 Que usas de benignidade com milhares, e rendes a maldade dos paes no seio dos filhos depois d'elles: o grande, o poderoso Deus cujo nome é o Senhor dos Exercitos:
You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
19 Grande em conselho, e magnifico em feito; porque os teus olhos estão abertos sobre todos os caminhos dos filhos dos homens, para dar a cada um segundo os seus caminhos e segundo o fructo das suas obras:
You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.
20 Que pozeste signaes e maravilhas na terra do Egypto até ao dia de hoje, tanto em Israel, como entre os outros homens, e te fizeste um nome, qual tu tens n'este dia.
You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
21 E tiraste o teu povo Israel da terra do Egypto, com signaes e com maravilhas, e com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com grande espanto,
You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
22 E lhes déste esta terra, que juraste a seus paes que lhes havias de dar: terra que mana leite e mel.
You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
23 E entraram n'ella, e a possuiram, porém não obedeceram á tua voz, nem andaram na tua lei; tudo o que lhes mandaste que fizessem, elles não o fizeram; pelo que fizeste que lhes succedesse todo este mal
Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
24 Eis aqui os vallados! já vieram contra a cidade para tomal-a, e a cidade está dada na mão dos chaldeos, que pelejam contra ella, por causa da espada, e da fome, e da pestilencia; e o que fallaste se ez, e eis aqui o estás presenciando.
And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
25 Comtudo tu me disseste, Senhor Jehovah: Compra para ti o campo por dinheiro, e faze que o testifiquem testemunhas, posto que a cidade esteja já dada na mão dos chaldeos.
[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
26 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, dizendo:
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
27 Eis que eu sou o Senhor Deus de toda a carne: porventura ser-me-hia coisa alguma maravilhosa?
“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
28 Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Eis que eu entrego esta cidade na mão dos chaldeos, e na mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, e tomal-a-ha.
So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
29 E os chaldeos, que pelejam contra esta cidade, entrarão n'ella, porão fogo a esta cidade, e queimarão juntamente as casas sobre cujos terraços queimarão incenso a Baal e offerecerão libações a outros deuses, para me provocarem á ira.
The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
30 Porque os filhos de Israel e os filhos de Judah não fizeram senão mal aos meus olhos, desde a sua mocidade; porque os filhos de Israel sómente me provocaram á ira com as obras das suas mãos, diz o Senhor.
The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
31 Porque para a minha ira e para o meu furor me foi esta cidade, desde o dia em que a edificaram, e até ao dia de hoje, para que a tirasse da minha face;
From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
32 Por toda a maldade dos filhos de Israel, e dos filhos de Judah, que fizeram, para me provocarem á ira, assim elle como os seus reis, os seus principes, os seus sacerdotes, e os seus prophetas, como tambem os homens de Judah e os moradores de Jerusalem.
The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
33 E me viraram as costas, e não o rosto: ainda que eu os ensinava, madrugando e ensinando-os, comtudo elles não ouviram, para receberem o ensino.
My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
34 Antes pozeram as suas abominações na casa que se chama pelo meu nome, para a profanarem.
They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
35 E edificaram os altos de Baal, que estão no valle do filho de Hinnom, para fazerem que seus filhos e suas filhas passassem pelo fogo a Moloch; o que nunca lhes ordenei, nem subiu ao meu coração, que fizessem tal abominação; para fazerem peccar a Judah.
They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
36 E por isso agora assim diz o Senhor o Deus de Israel, ácerca d'esta cidade, da qual vós dizeis: Já está dada na mão do rei de Babylonia, á espada, e á fome, e á pestilencia:
“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
37 Eis que eu os congregarei de todas as terras, para onde os houver lançado na minha ira, e no meu furor, e na minha grande indignação; e os tornarei a trazer a este logar, e farei que habitem n'elle seguramente.
‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
38 E me serão por povo, e eu lhes serei por Deus.
They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 E lhes darei um mesmo coração, e um mesmo caminho, para que me temam todos os dias, para seu bem, e de seus filhos, depois d'elles.
I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
40 E farei com elles um concerto eterno, que não tornarei de após elles, para fazer-lhes bem; e porei o meu temor no seu coração, para que nunca se apartem de mim
I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
41 E alegrar-me-hei d'elles, fazendo-lhes bem; e os plantarei n'esta terra certamente, com todo o meu coração e com toda a minha alma.
I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
42 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Como eu trouxe sobre este povo todo este grande mal, assim eu trarei sobre elle todo o bem que eu fallo a respeito d'elle.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
43 E comprar-se-hão campos n'esta terra, da qual vós dizeis: Já está tão deserta, que não ha n'ella nem homem nem animal; está dada na mão dos chaldeos.
[By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
44 Comprarão campos por dinheiro, e subscreverão os autos, e os sellarão, e farão que testifiquem testemunhas na terra de Benjamin, e nos contornos de Jerusalem, e nas cidades de Judah, e nas cidades das montanhas, e nas cidades das planicies, e nas cidades do sul; porque os farei voltar do seu captiveiro, diz o Senhor.
[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
