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.
Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar 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, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
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.
Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now 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 came in and went out among 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.
Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Kasdim who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 Então veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, 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.
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
8 E voltarão os chaldeos, e pelejarão contra esta cidade, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo.
The Kasdim will come again, and fight against this city. They will take 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.
“The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Kasdim 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 you had struck the whole army of the Kasdim who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
11 E succedeu que, subindo de Jerusalem o exercito dos chaldeos, por causa do exercito de Pharaó,
When the army of the Kasdim had withdrawn 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.
then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle 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.
When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Kasdim!”
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 Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Kasdim.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to 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.
The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
16 Entrando pois Jeremias na casa do calaboiço, e nas suas camarinhas, ficou ali Jeremias muitos dias.
When Jeremiah had come 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 Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “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?
Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this 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?
Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will 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 please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to 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 Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
