< Jeremias 43 >

1 E succedeu que, acabando Jeremias de fallar a todo o povo todas as palavras do Senhor Deus d'elles, com as quaes o Senhor Deus d'elles lh'o havia enviado, para que lhes dissesse todas estas palavras,
When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
2 Então disse Azarias, filho de Hosaias, e Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os homens soberbos, dizendo a Jeremias: Tu dizes mentiras; o Senhor nosso Deus não te enviou a dizer: Não entreis no Egypto, para lá peregrinar:
then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’
3 Antes Baruch, filho de Nerias, te incita contra nós, para entregar-nos na mão dos chaldeos, para nos matarem, ou para nos transportarem para Babylonia.
but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”
4 Não obedeceu pois Johanan, filho de Careah, nem nenhum de todos os principes dos exercitos, nem todo o povo, á voz do Senhor, para ficarem na terra de Judah.
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5 Antes tomou Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os principes dos exercitos a todo o resto de Judah, que havia voltado d'entre todas as nações, para onde haviam sido lançados, para peregrinarem na terra de Judah;
But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—
6 Os homens, e as mulheres, e os meninos, e as filhas do rei, e a toda a alma que deixara Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, com Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan; como tambem a Jeremias, o propheta, e a Baruch, filho de Nerias:
the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
7 E entraram na terra do Egypto, porque não obedeceram á voz do Senhor; e vieram até Tahpanhes.
They came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.
8 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, em Tahpanhes, dizendo:
Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Toma na tua mão pedras grandes, e esconde-as entre o barro no forno que está á porta da casa de Pharaó em Tahpanhes, perante os olhos de homens judeos.
“Take great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 E dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos exercitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, meu servo, e porei o seu throno sobre estas pedras que escondi; e estenderá a sua tenda real sobre ellas.
Tell them, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 E virá, e ferirá a terra do Egypto: quem para a morte, para a morte; e quem para o captiveiro, para o captiveiro; e quem para a espada, para a espada.
He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
12 E porei fogo ás casas dos deuses do Egypto, e queimal-os-ha, e leval-os-ha captivos; e vestir-se-ha da terra do Egypto, como se veste o pastor do seu vestido, e sairá d'ali em paz.
I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.
13 E quebrará as estatuas de Beth-semes, que está na terra do Egypto; e as casas dos deuses do Egypto queimará a fogo.
He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
