Jeremias 46
1 A palavra do Senhor, que veiu a Jeremias o propheta, contra as nações;
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles,
2 Ácerca do Egypto, contra o exercito de Pharaó Necho, rei do Egypto, que estava junto ao rio Euphrates em Carchemis; ao qual feriu Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, no anno quarto de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah.
about Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, which was beside the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, struck down, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah:
3 Preparae o escudo e o pavez, e chegae-vos para a peleja.
“‘Prepare the heavy and the light shield, and advance to war!
4 Sellae os cavallos, e montae, cavalleiros, e apresentae-vos com elmos: alimpae as lanças, vesti-vos de couraças.
Harness the horses, and let the horsemen climb upon them! Stand forth with helmets! Sharpen the lances! Clothe yourselves in armor!’
5 Por que razão vejo os medrosos voltando as costas? e os seus heroes são abatidos, e vão fugindo, sem olharem para traz: terror ha ao redor, diz o Senhor.
And what is next? I have seen them terrified, and turning their backs, their strong ones cut down. They have fled in disorder and have not looked back. Terror on every side, says the Lord.
6 Não fuja o ligeiro, e não escape o heroe: para a banda do norte, junto á borda do rio Euphrates tropeçaram e cairam.
Let not the swift take flight; let not the strong ones think to save themselves. They have been conquered and ruined, toward the north, near the river Euphrates.
7 Quem é este que vem subindo como a corrente, cujas aguas se movem como os rios?
Who is this, who ascends like a flood, and whose streams swell up, like those of the rivers?
8 O Egypto vem subindo como a corrente, e as suas aguas se movem como os rios; e disse: Subirei, cobrirei a terra, destruirei a cidade, e os que habitam n'ella.
Egypt ascends in the form of a river, and its waves will be moved like those of a river. And he will say: ‘I will ascend and cover the earth! I will perish the city and its inhabitants!’
9 Trepae, ó cavallos, e estrondeae, ó carros, e saiam os valentes: como tambem os ethiopes, e os puteos, que tomam o escudo, e os lydios, que tomam e entezam o arco.
Mount the horses, and exult upon chariots, and let the strong ones advance: the Ethiopians, and the Libyans, who hold the heavy shield, and the Lydians, who grasp and shoot arrows.
10 Porém este dia é do Senhor Jehovah dos Exercitos, dia de vingança para se vingar dos seus adversarios, e devorará a espada, e fartar-se-ha, e embriagar-se-ha com o sangue d'elles, porque o Senhor Jehovah dos Exercitos tem um sacrificio na terra do norte, junto ao rio de Euphrates.
For this is the day of the Lord, the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, so that he may vindicate himself of his enemies. The sword will devour, and be satiated, and be inebriated with their blood. For there is a victim of the Lord, the God of hosts, in the land of the north, beside the river Euphrates.
11 Sobe a Gilead, e toma balsamo, ó virgem filha do Egypto: debalde multiplicas remedios, pois já não ha cura para ti
Ascend to Gilead, and take its balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! It is in vain that you multiply medicines; there will be no health for you!
12 As nações ouviram a tua vergonha, e a terra está cheia do teu clamor; porque o valente chorou com o valente e cairam ambos juntamente.
The nations have heard of your disgrace, and your wailing has filled the earth. For the strong have stumbled against the strong, and both have fallen together.”
13 A palavra que fallou o Senhor a Jeremias, o propheta, ácerca da vinda de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, para ferir a terra do Egypto.
The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning how Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, would arrive and strike the land of Egypt:
14 Annunciae no Egypto, e fazei ouvir isto em Migdol; fazei tambem ouvil-o em Noph, e em Tahpanhes: dizei: Apresenta-te, e prepara-te; porque já devorou a espada o que está ao redor de ti.
“Announce it to Egypt, and make it heard in Migdol, and let it resonate in Memphis and in Tahpanhes. Say this: Stand and prepare yourself! For the sword will devour everything around you.
15 Porque foram derribados os teus valentes? não se poderam ter em pé, porque o Senhor os empuxou.
Why have your strong ones decayed? They have not stood firm, because the Lord has overthrown them.
16 Multiplicou os que tropeçavam: tambem cairam uns sobre os outros, e disseram: Levanta-te, e voltemos ao nosso povo, e á terra do nosso nascimento, por causa da espada que opprime.
He has multiplied those in ruin, and each man has fallen beside his neighbor. And they will say: ‘Rise up, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, away from the face of the sword of the dove.
17 Clamaram ali: Pharaó rei do Egypto é um estrondo; deixou passar o tempo assignalado.
Call the name of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt: ‘Time has brought tumult.’
18 Vivo eu, diz o rei, cujo nome é o Senhor dos Exercitos, que assim como está Tabor entre os montes, e como o Carmelo sobre o mar, certamente assim virá.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, just as Tabor is among the mountains, and just as Carmel is beside the sea, so will he come.
19 Prepara-te apparelhos para a ida em captiveiro, ó moradora, filha do Egypto: porque Noph será tornada em desolação, e será abrazada, até que ninguem mais ahi more.
Equip yourself for the transmigration, O daughter who inhabits Egypt. For Memphis will be in desolation, and it will be deserted and uninhabited.
20 Bezerra mui formosa é o Egypto: já vem a destruição, ella vem do norte.
Egypt is like a stately and finely-formed calf. The one who will goad her will come from the north.
21 Até os seus mercenarios no meio d'ella são como bezerros cevados; porém tambem elles viraram as costas, fugiram juntos; não estiveram firmes; porque já veiu sobre elles o dia da sua ruina e o tempo da sua visitação.
Her hired hands also, who move within her midst, like fatted calves have been turned back, and they have fled at the same time, and they are not able to stand firm. For the day of their passing away has overwhelmed them; it is the time of their visitation.
22 A sua voz irá como a da serpente; porque irão com poder do exercito, e virão a ella com machados como cortadores de lenha.
Her voice will sound out like brass. For they will rush forward with an army, and with axes they will come against her, like those who chop wood.
23 Cortaram o seu bosque, diz o Senhor, ainda que não podem contar-se; porque se multiplicaram mais do que os gafanhotos, não se podem numerar.
They have cut down her forest, says the Lord, which was not able to be counted. They have been multiplied more than locusts, and they are without number.
24 A filha do Egypto está envergonhada: foi entregue na mão do povo do norte.
The daughter of Egypt has been confounded, and she has been delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que eu visitarei a multidão de No, e a Pharaó, e ao Egypto, e aos seus deuses, e aos seus reis, e até ao mesmo Pharaó, e aos que confiam n'elle.
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: Behold, I will visit against the tumult of Alexandria, and against Pharaoh, and against Egypt, and against her gods, and against her kings, and against Pharaoh, and against those who trust in him.
26 E os entregarei na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, na mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, e na mão dos seus servos; porém depois será habitada, como nos dias antigos, diz o Senhor.
And I will give them over to the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. And after this, it shall be inhabited, just as in the former days, says the Lord.
27 Não temas pois tu, servo meu Jacob, nem te espantes, ó Israel; porque eis que te livrarei de terras de longe, como tambem a tua semente da terra do seu captiveiro; e Jacob voltará, e descançará, e socegará, e não haverá quem o atemorize.
And as for you, my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, and you should not dread, O Israel. For behold, I will bring your salvation from afar, and your offspring from the land of your captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he will prosper. And there will be no one who may terrify him.
28 Tu não temas, servo meu, Jacob, diz o Senhor, porque estou comtigo; porque farei consummação de todas as nações entre as quaes te lancei; porém de ti não farei consummação, mas castigar-te-hei com medida, e não te darei de todo por innocente
And as for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid, says the Lord. For I am with you. For I will consume all the nations to which I have cast you out. Yet truly, I will not consume you. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, but neither will I spare you, as if you were innocent.”
