< 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,
And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto the whole people all the words of the Lord their God, with which the Lord their God had sent him to them, [namely, ] 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:
That then spoke 'Azaryah the son of Hosha'yah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the presumptuous men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn 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 Neriyah setteth thee on against us, in order to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, or carry us away as exiles 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 Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, and all the people, hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, to remain 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 Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations, whither they had been driven, to sojourn 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, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriyah;
7 E entraram na terra do Egypto, porque não obedeceram á voz do Senhor; e vieram até Tahpanhes.
And they entered into the land of Egypt; for they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord; and they came as far as Thachpanches.
8 Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, em Tahpanhes, dizendo:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Thachpanches, 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 thy hand, and hide them in the mortar in the brick-kiln which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's house in Thachpanches, before the eyes of the Jewish men;
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 thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden; and he shall 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.
And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt: such as are destined for death shall be given to death; and such as are destined for captivity, to captivity; and such as are destined 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.
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall wrap around him the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wrappeth his garment around him; and he shall go forth 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.
And he shall break the statues of Bethshemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
