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,
IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
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:
Take thee a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to thee against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
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.
Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and [so] I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
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 Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
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;
And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I cannot enter into the house of the Lord:
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:
so thou shalt read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, thou shalt read to them.
7 E entraram na terra do Egypto, porque não obedeceram á voz do Senhor; e vieram até Tahpanhes.
Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
8 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, em Tahpanhes, dizendo:
And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
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.
And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
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.
And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
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.
And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
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.
And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
13 E quebrará as estatuas de Beth-semes, que está na terra do Egypto; e as casas dos deuses do Egypto queimará a fogo.
And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in thine hand the roll in which thou readest in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
And they said to him, Read [it] again in our ears. And Baruch read [it].
And it came to pass, when they [had] heard all the words, [that] they took counsel each with his neighbour, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
And they asked Baruch, saying, Where didst thou write all these words?
And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, thou and Jeremias; let no man know where ye [are].
And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll [to one] to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and [there was] a fire on the hearth before him.
And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast [them] into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not [the Lord], and rent not their garments.
But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, [even] all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
Again take thou another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have [a man] to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they hearkened not.
And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
