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 which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the country ruled by his power, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all 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 hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Go and speak to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may 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 thou thyself shalt not escape out of his hand; but thou shalt surely be caught, and be delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and to Babylon shalt thou go.
4 Todavia ouve a palavra do Senhor, ó Zedekias, rei de Judá: assim diz o Senhor de ti: Não morrerás à espada.
Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord respecting thee, Thou shalt 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.
In peace shalt thou die; and as burnings were made for thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make burnings for thee; and “Ah lord” shall they lament for thee; for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
6 E falou Jeremias, o profeta, a Zedekias, rei de Judá, todas estas palavras, em Jerusalém,
And Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words 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.
When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against 'Azekah; for these had been left of the cities of Judah as 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 which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim among themselves freedom;
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 every man should dismiss his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, free; so that no man among them should exact labor of a Jew, his brother.
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.
And all the princes had hearkened, with all the people, who had entered into the covenant, that every one should dismiss his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, free, that no one should exact labor of them any more: and they had obeyed, and dismissed 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 they had turned afterward, and they had brought back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had dismissed as free, and had subjected them to become men-servants and maid-servants.
12 Veio pois a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord [then] 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 hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, —I myself made a covenant with your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, 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.
At the end of seven years shall ye dismiss every man his brother the Hebrew, who may have been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, then shalt thou dismiss him from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, and inclined not 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 ye had turned this day, and done what is right in my eyes, to proclaim freedom every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house over which my name is called;
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 ye have turned again, and profaned my name, and ye have brought back every man his man-servant, and every man his woman-servant, whom ye had dismissed as free at their pleasure, and have subjected them to be unto you for men-servants and for women-servants.
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Ye indeed have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim freedom, every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a freedom over you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a horror unto 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 up the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they had made before me, at the calf which they cut in twain, and between the parts whereof they passed,
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 princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the court-servants, 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.
[Yea] I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to 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 princes will I give up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, that are [now] gone away 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, speaketh the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city; and they shall fight against it, and capture it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Judah will I make a desert without an inhabitant.
