Jeremias 39
1 No anno nono de Zedekias, rei de Judah, no mez decimo, veiu Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, todo o seu exercito, contra Jerusalem, e a cercaram.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias in the tenth year of king Sedekias, this is the eighteenth year of king Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon.
2 No anno undecimo de Zedekias, no quarto mez, aos nove do mez, se fez a brecha na cidade.
And the host of the king of Babylon had made a rampart against Jerusalem: and Jeremias was kept in the court of the prison, which is in the king's house;
3 E entraram n'ella todos os principes do rei de Babylonia, e pararam na porta do meio, a saber: Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsecim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer, Rab-mag, e todo o resto dos principes do rei de Babylonia.
in which king Sedekias [had] shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 E succedeu que, vendo-os Zedekias, rei de Judah, e todos os homens de guerra, fugiram, e sairam de noite da cidade, pelo caminho do jardim do rei, pela porta d'entre os dois muros; e saiu pelo caminho da campina.
and Sedekias shall by no means be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, for he shall certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall look upon his eyes;
5 Porém o exercito dos chaldeos os perseguiu; e alcançaram a Zedekias nas campinas de Jericó, e o prenderam, e o fizeram subir a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, a Ribla, na terra de Hamath, e o sentenciou.
and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6 E o rei de Babylonia matou os filhos de Zedekias em Ribla, diante dos meus olhos: tambem matou o rei de Babylonia a todos os nobres de Judah.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING,
7 E cegou os olhos de Zedekias, e o atou com duas cadeias de bronze, para leval-o a Babylonia.
Behold, Anameel the son of Salom thy father's brother is coming to thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for thou [hast] the right to take [it] as a purchase.
8 E os chaldeos queimaram a fogo a casa do rei e as casas do povo, e derribaram os muros de Jerusalem.
So Anameel the son of Salom my father's brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy thee my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for thou [hast] a right to buy it, and thou art the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord.
9 E o resto do povo, que ficou na cidade, e os rebeldes que tinham caido para elle, e o resto do povo que ficou, levou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, a Babylonia.
And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Porém dos pobres de entre o povo que não tinha nada, deixou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, alguns na terra de Judah; e deu-lhes vinhas e campos n'aquelle dia.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11 Mas Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, havia dado ordem ácerca de Jeremias, na mão de Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, dizendo:
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12 Toma-o, e põe sobre elle os teus olhos, e não lhe faças nenhum mal; antes, como elle te disser, assim usarás com elle.
and I gave it to Baruch son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, in the sight of Anameel my father's brother's son, and in the sight of the men that stood by and wrote in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of the Jews that were in the court of the prison.
13 Enviou pois Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, e Nebus-hasban, Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer, Rab-mag, e todos os principes do rei de Babylonia:
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus saith the Lord Almighty;
14 Enviaram pois, e tomaram a Jeremias do atrio da guarda, e o entregaram a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, para que o levasse á casa; e ficou entre o povo.
Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and thou shalt put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days.
15 Tambem a Jeremias veiu a palavra do Senhor, estando elle ainda encerrado no atrio da guarda, dizendo:
For thus saith the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16 Vae, e falla a Ebed-melech, o ethiope, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu trarei as minhas palavras sobre esta cidade para mal e não para bem: e serão cumpridas diante de ti n'aquelle dia.
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying,
17 Porém te farei escapar n'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor, e não serás entregue na mão dos homens perante cuja face tu temes.
O [ever] living Lord! thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power, and with thy high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from thee.
18 Porque certamente te livrarei, e não cairás á espada: mas a tua alma terás por despojo, porquanto confiaste em mim, diz o Senhor.
Granting mercy to thousands, and recompensing the sins of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them: the great, the strong God;
the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in deeds, the great Almighty God, and Lord of great name: thine eyes are upon the ways of the children of men, to give to every one according to his way:
who hast wrought signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and thou didst make for thyself a name, as at this day;
and thou didst bring out thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights;
and thou gavest them this land, which thou didst swear [to give] to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
and they went in, and took it; but they hearkened not to thy voice, and walked not in thine ordinances; they did none of the things which thou didst command them, and they caused all these calamities to happen to them.
Behold, a multitude is come against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans that fight against it, by the power of the sword, and the famine: as thou hast spoken, so has it happened.
And thou sayest to me, Buy thee the field for money; and I wrote a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall anything be hidden from me!
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
and the Chaldeans shall come to war against this city, and they shall burn this city with fire, and shall burn down the houses wherein they burnt incense on the roofs thereof to Baal, and poured drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me.
For the children of Israel and the children of Juda alone did evil in my sight from their youth.
For this city was [obnoxious] to my anger and my wrath, from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from my presence,
because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and Juda, which they wrought to provoke me, they and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem.
And they turned the back to me, and not the face: whereas I taught them early in the morning, but they hearkened no more to receive instructions.
And they set their pollutions in the house, on which my name was called, by their uncleannesses.
And they built to Baal the altars that are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to offer their sons and their daughters to king Moloch; which things I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Juda to sin.
And now thus has the Lord God of Israel said concerning this city, of which thou sayest, it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and banishment.
Behold, I [will] gather them out of every land, where I have scattered them in my anger, and my wrath, and great fury; and I will bring them back into this place, and will cause them to dwell safely:
and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a god.
And I will give them another way, and another heart, to fear me continually, and [that] for good to them and their children after them.
And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put my fear into their heart, that they may not depart from me.
And I will visit [them] to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, and with all my heart, and with all [my] soul.
For thus saith the Lord; As I have brought upon this people all these great evils, so will I bring upon them all the good things which I pronounced upon them.
And there shall yet be fields bought in the land, of which thou sayest, it shall be destitute of man and beast; and they are delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And they shall buy fields for money, and thou shalt write a book, and seal [it], and shalt take the testimony of witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity.
