Jeremias 37
1 E reinou o rei Zedekias, filho de Josias, em logar de Conias, filho de Joaquim, a quem Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, constituiu rei na terra de Judah.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
2 Porém nem elle, nem os seus servos, nem o povo da terra deram ouvidos ás palavras do Senhor que fallou pelo ministerio de Jeremias, o propheta.
But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3 Comtudo mandou o rei Zedekias a Juchal, filho de Selemias, e a Sofonias, filho de Maaseias, o sacerdote, a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Roga agora por nós ao Senhor nosso Deus.
Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”
4 E entrava e sahia Jeremias entre o povo, porque não o tinham posto na casa do carcere.
Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
5 E o exercito de Pharaó saiu do Egypto: e, ouvindo os chaldeos, que tinham em sitio a Jerusalem, as novas d'isto, retiraram-se de Jerusalem.
Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Então veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Assim direis ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a mim a perguntar-me: Eis que o exercito de Pharaó, que saiu para soccorro vosso, voltar-se-ha para a sua terra no Egypto.
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt.
8 E voltarão os chaldeos, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo.
Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
9 Assim diz o Senhor: Não enganeis as vossas almas, dizendo: Sem duvida se irão os chaldeos de nós: porque não se irão.
This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!
10 Porque ainda que ferisseis a todo o exercito dos chaldeos, que peleja contra vós, e ficassem de resto d'elles homens traspassados, cada um levantar-se-hia na sua tenda, e queimaria a fogo esta cidade.
Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
11 E succedeu que, subindo de Jerusalem o exercito dos chaldeos, por causa do exercito de Pharaó,
When the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12 Saiu Jeremias de Jerusalem, para ir á terra de Benjamin, para esquivar-se de ali entre o meio do povo.
Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
13 Porém, estando elle á porta de Benjamin, achava-se ali um capitão da guarda, cujo nome era Jerias, filho de Selemias, filho de Hananias: o qual prendeu a Jeremias, o propheta, dizendo: Tu foges para os chaldeos.
But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
14 E Jeremias disse: Isso é falso, não fujo para o chaldeos. Porém não lhe deu ouvidos; antes Jerias prendeu a Jeremias, e o levou aos principes.
“That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials.
15 E os principes se iraram muito contra Jeremias, e o feriram; e o pozeram na casa da prisão, na casa de Jonathan, o escrivão; porque tinham feito d'ella a casa do carcere.
The officials were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him and placed him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
16 Entrando pois Jeremias na casa do calaboiço, e nas suas camarinhas, ficou ali Jeremias muitos dias.
So Jeremiah went into a cell in the dungeon and remained there a long time.
17 E enviou o rei Zedekias a tiral-o; e o rei lhe perguntou em sua casa, em segredo, e disse: Ha porventura alguma palavra do Senhor? E disse Jeremias: Ha. E elle disse: Na mão do rei de Babylonia serás entregue.
Later, King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 Disse mais Jeremias ao rei Zedekias: Em que tenho peccado contra ti, e contra os teus servos, e contra este povo, para que me pozesseis na casa do carcere?
Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?
19 Onde estão agora os vossos prophetas, que vos prophetizavam, dizendo: O rei de Babylonia não virá contra vós nem contra esta terra?
Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?
20 Ora pois ouve agora, ó rei, meu senhor: caia agora a minha supplica diante de ti, e não me deixes tornar á casa de Jonathan, o escriba, para que não venha a morrer alli.
But now please listen, O my lord the king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
21 Então deu ordem o rei Zedekias que pozessem a Jeremias no atrio da guarda; e deram-lhe um bolo de pão cada dia, da rua dos padeiros, até que se acabou todo o pão da cidade: assim ficou Jeremias no atrio da guarda.
So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
