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.
And Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, made king, in the land of Judah.
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 neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land had hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, which he 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.
And King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet saying, —Pray thou I beseech thee in our behalf, unto Yahweh, our God.
4 E entrava e sahia Jeremias entre o povo, porque não o tinham posto na casa do carcere.
Now, Jeremiah, was coming in and going out in the midst of the people, for they had not put him into 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.
And the force of Pharaoh had come forth out of Egypt, —and, when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the tidings of them, they went up from Jerusalem.
6 Então veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Thus, shall ye say unto the king of Judah, who sent you unto me to enquire of me, —Lo! the force of Pharaoh which is coming out to you to help is about to return to its own land to Egypt;
8 E voltarão os chaldeos, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo.
Then will the Chaldeans come back, and fight against this city, —and capture it and burn it with fire.
9 Assim diz o Senhor: Não enganeis as vossas almas, dizendo: Sem duvida se irão os chaldeos de nós: porque não se irão.
Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let not your own souls, deceive you saying, The Chaldeans will, surely depart, from us! For they will not depart;
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.
For though ye had smitten all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you and there had remained of them only desperately wounded men, yet, every man in his tent, should have arisen and burnt this city with fire.
11 E succedeu que, subindo de Jerusalem o exercito dos chaldeos, por causa do exercito de Pharaó,
Now it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans, had gone up from Jerusalem, —because of the force of Pharaoh,
12 Saiu Jeremias de Jerusalem, para ir á terra de Benjamin, para esquivar-se de ali entre o meio do povo.
then went forth Jeremiah out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, —to receive a portion from thence in the midst of 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.
And so it came to pass he being in the gate of Benjamin and there being there a ward-master whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah, that he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Unto the Chaldeans, art thou falling away!
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.
Then said Jeremiah, False! I am not falling away unto the Chaldeans! Howbeit he hearkened not unto him, —so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him in unto the princes.
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.
Then were the princes wroth against Jeremiah, and smote him, —and put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for that, had they made the prison.
16 Entrando pois Jeremias na casa do calaboiço, e nas suas camarinhas, ficou ali Jeremias muitos dias.
When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon-house and into the cells, and Jeremiah, had remained there many days,
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.
then sent King Zedekiah—and fetched him, and the king asked him, in his own house secretly, and said, —Is there a word from Yahweh? And Jeremiah said, —There is, for (said he), Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be delivered!
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?
And Jeremiah said unto King Zedekiah, —What sin have I committed against thee, or against thy servants or against this people, that ye have delivered me up into 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, then are your prophets, who prophesied unto you saying, —The king of Babylon shall not come, against you nor against 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.
Now therefore, hear I beseech thee, O my lord the king, —Let my, supplication, I pray thee, fall prostrate before thee, and do not cause me to return unto the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I 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.
Then King Zedekiah gave command and they committed Jeremiah into the guard-court, and [said] that there should be given him a cake of bread daily, out of the baker’s street, until all the bread out of the city should be spent, So Jeremiah remained in the guard-court.
