< Jeremias 34 >

1 A palavra que do Senhor veiu a Jeremias, quando Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, e todo o seu exercito, e todos os reinos da terra, que estavam sob o dominio da sua mão, e todos os povos, pelejavam contra Jerusalem, e contra todas as suas cidades, dizendo:
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, (when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth, that were under the power of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, ) saying:
2 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Vae, e falla a Zedekias, rei de Judah, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que eu dou esta cidade na mão do rei de Babylonia, e queimal-a-ha a fogo.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 E tu não escaparás á sua mão; antes decerto serás preso, e serás entregue na sua mão: e teus olhos verão os olhos do rei de Babylonia, e elle te fallará bocca a bocca, e entrarás em Babylonia
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Todavia ouve a palavra do Senhor, ó Zedekias, rei de Judah: assim diz o Senhor de ti: Não morrerás á espada.
Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword.
5 Em paz morrerás, e conforme as queimas de teus paes, os reis precedentes, que foram antes de ti, assim te queimarão a ti, e prantear-te-hão, dizendo: Ah Senhor! porque eu disse a palavra, diz o Senhor.
But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
6 E fallou Jeremias, o propheta, a Zedekias, rei de Judah, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalem,
And Jeremias the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem.
7 Quando o exercito do rei de Babylonia pelejava contra Jerusalem, e contra todas as cidades de Judah, que ficaram de resto: contra Lachis e contra Azeca; porque estas fortes cidades ficaram de resto, d'entre as cidades de Judah.
And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities.
8 A palavra que do Senhor veiu a Jeremias, depois que o rei Zedekias fez concerto com todo o povo que havia em Jerusalem, para lhes apregoar a liberdade;
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation:
9 Que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, hebreo ou hebrea; de maneira que ninguem se fizesse servir d'elles, sendo judeos, seus irmãos.
That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren.
10 E ouviram todos os principes, e todo o povo que entrou no concerto, que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, de maneira que não se fizessem mais servir d'elles: ouviram pois, e os soltaram.
And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free.
11 Porém depois se arrependeram, e fizeram voltar os servos e as servas que largaram livres, e os sujeitaram por servos e por servas.
But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants.
12 Veiu pois a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
13 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Eu fiz concerto com vossos paes, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egypto, da casa de servos, dizendo:
Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
14 Ao fim de sete annos largareis cada um a seu irmão hebreo, que te fôr vendido a ti, e te houver servido a ti seis annos, e despedil-o-has forro de ti; porém vossos paes me não ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos.
At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear.
15 E vos havieis hoje convertido, e tinheis feito o que é recto aos meus olhos, apregoando liberdade cada um ao seu proximo; e tinheis feito diante de mim um concerto, na casa que se chama pelo meu nome:
And you turned today, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated.
16 Porém vos tornastes, e profanastes o meu nome, e fizestes voltar cada um ao seu servo, e cada um á sua serva, os quaes já tinheis despedido forros conforme a sua vontade; e os sujeitastes, para que se vos fizessem servos e servas.
And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids.
17 Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Vós me não ouvistes a mim, para apregoardes a liberdade, cada um ao seu irmão, e cada um ao seu proximo; pois eis que eu vos apregôo a liberdade, diz o Senhor, para a espada, para a pestilencia, e para a fome; e dar-vos-hei por espanto a todos os reinos da terra.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 E entregarei os homens que, traspassaram o meu concerto, que não confirmaram as palavras do concerto, que fizeram diante de mim, com o bezerro, que fenderam em duas partes, e passaram pelo meio das suas porções;
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, and have not performed the words of the covenant which they agreed to in my presence, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts thereof:
19 A saber, os principes de Judah, e os principes de Jerusalem, os eunuchos, e os sacerdotes, e todo o povo da terra que passou por meio das porções do bezerro;
The princes of Juda, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land that passed between the parts of the calf:
20 Entregal-os-hei, digo, na mão de seus inimigos, e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, e os cadaveres d'elles serão para mantimento ás aves dos céus e aos animaes da terra.
And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 E até o rei Zedekias, rei de Judah, e seus principes entregarei na mão de seus inimigos e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, a saber, na mão do exercito do rei de Babylonia, que já se retirou de vós.
And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are gone from you.
22 Eis que eu darei ordem, diz o Senhor, e os farei tornar a esta cidade, e pelejarão contra ella, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo; e as cidades de Judah porei em assolação, que ninguem habite n'ellas.
Behold I will command, saith the Lord, and I will bring them again to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Juda a desolation, without an inhabitant.
