Jeremias 34
1 A palavra que do Senhor veio a Jeremias, quando Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, e todo o seu exército, e todos os reinos da terra, que estavam sob o domínio da sua mão, e todos os povos, pelejavam contra Jerusalém, e contra todas as suas cidades, dizendo:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:
2 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: vai, e fala a Zedekias, rei de Judá, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que eu dou esta cidade na mão do rei de Babilônia, e queima-la-á a fogo.
“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
3 E tu não escaparás à sua mão; antes decerto serás preso, e serás entregue na sua mão: e teus olhos verão os olhos do rei de Babilônia, e ele te falará boca a boca, e entrarás em Babilônia
And you will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into Babylon.
4 Todavia ouve a palavra do Senhor, ó Zedekias, rei de Judá: assim diz o Senhor de ti: Não morrerás à espada.
Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.
5 Em paz morrerás, e conforme as queimas de teus pais, os reis precedentes, que foram antes de ti, assim te queimarão a ti, e prantear-te-ão, dizendo: Ah Senhor! porque eu disse a palavra, diz o Senhor.
Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says the Lord.”
6 E falou Jeremias, o profeta, a Zedekias, rei de Judá, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalém,
And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
7 Quando o exército do rei de Babilônia pelejava contra Jerusalém, e contra todas as cidades de Judá, que ficaram de resto: contra Lachis e contra Azeca; porque estas fortes cidades ficaram de resto, dentre as cidades de Judá.
And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.
8 A palavra que do Senhor veio a Jeremias, depois que o rei Zedekias fez concerto com todo o povo que havia em Jerusalém, para lhes apregoar a liberdade;
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming
9 Que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, hebreu ou hebrea; de maneira que ninguém se fizesse servir deles, sendo judeus, seus irmãos.
that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.
10 E ouviram todos os príncipes, e todo o povo que entrou no concerto, que cada um despedisse forro o seu servo, e cada um a sua serva, de maneira que não se fizessem mais servir deles: ouviram pois, e os soltaram.
Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.
11 Porém depois se arrependeram, e fizeram voltar os servos e as servas que largaram livres, e os sujeitaram por servos e por servas.
But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.
12 Veio pois a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
13 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Eu fiz concerto com vossos pais, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egito, da casa de servos, dizendo:
“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, saying:
14 Ao fim de sete anos largareis cada um a seu irmão hebreu, que te for vendido a ti, e te houver servido a ti seis anos, e despedi-lo-ás forro de ti; porém vossos pais me não ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos.
‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they incline their ear.
15 E vos havieis hoje convertido, e tinheis feito o que é reto aos meus olhos, apregoando liberdade cada um ao seu próximo; e tinheis feito diante de mim um concerto, na casa que se chama pelo meu nome:
And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.
16 Porém vos tornastes, e profanastes o meu nome, e fizestes voltar cada um ao seu servo, e cada um à sua serva, os quais já tinheis despedido forros conforme a sua vontade; e os sujeitastes, para que se vos fizessem servos e servas.
But now you have turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”
17 Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Vós me não ouvistes a mim, para apregoardes a liberdade, cada um ao seu irmão, e cada um ao seu próximo; pois eis que eu vos apregôo a liberdade, diz o Senhor, para a espada, para a pestilência, e para a fome; e dar-vos-ei por espanto a todos os reinos da terra.
Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 E entregarei os homens que, traspassaram o meu concerto, que não confirmaram as palavras do concerto, que fizeram diante de mim, com o bezerro, que fenderam em duas partes, e passaram pelo meio das suas porções;
And I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:
19 A saber, os príncipes de Judá, e os príncipes de Jerusalém, os eunucos, e os sacerdotes, e todo o povo da terra que passou por meio das porções do bezerro;
the leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf.
20 Entrega-los-ei, digo, na mão de seus inimigos, e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, e os cadáveres deles serão para mantimento às aves dos céus e aos animais da terra.
And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.
21 E até o rei Zedekias, rei de Judá, e seus príncipes entregarei na mão de seus inimigos e na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, a saber, na mão do exército do rei de Babilônia, que já se retirou de vós.
And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which had withdrawn from you.
22 Eis que eu darei ordem, diz o Senhor, e os farei tornar a esta cidade, e pelejarão contra ela, e a tomarão, e a queimarão a fogo; e as cidades de Judá porei em assolação, que ninguém habite nelas.
Behold, I will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no inhabitant.”
