< 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 which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, 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 Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand 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 from his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to 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 Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD concerning 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 with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they burn incense for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
6 E fallou Jeremias, o propheta, a Zedekias, rei de Judah, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalem,
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah 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.
When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.
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;
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
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 release his male servant, and every man his female servant, being a Hebrew man or woman; that none should retain them in service, that is, a Jew his brother.
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.
Now when all the princes, and all the people, who had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should release his male servants, and every one his female servants, that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
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 caused the male and female servants, whom they had released to return, and brought them into subjection for male and female servants.
12 Veiu pois a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah 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 forth from 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 release ye every man his brother an Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined 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 ye had now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
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.
But ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his male servant, and every man his female servant, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for male and female servants.
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; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into 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, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,
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 Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who 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.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the fowls of the heaven, 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 Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up 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 cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
