Jeremias 39
1 No ano nono de Zedekias, rei de Judá, no mês décimo, veio Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, todo o seu exército, contra Jerusalém, e a cercaram.
In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 No ano undécimo de Zedekias, no quarto mes, aos nove do mes, se fez a brecha na cidade.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
3 E entraram nela todos os príncipes do rei de Babilônia, e pararam na porta do meio, a saber: Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsecim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer, Rab-mag, e todo o resto dos príncipes do rei de Babilônia.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 E sucedeu que, vendo-os Zedekias, rei de Judá, e todos os homens de guerra, fugiram, e sairam de noite da cidade, pelo caminho do jardim do rei, pela porta dentre os dois muros; e saiu pelo caminho da campina.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
5 Porém o exército dos caldeus os perseguiu; e alcançaram a Zedekias nas campinas de Jericó, e o prenderam, e o fizeram subir a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, a Ribla, na terra de Hamath, e o sentenciou.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 E o rei de Babilônia matou os filhos de Zedekias em Ribla, diante dos meus olhos: também matou o rei de Babilônia a todos os nobres de Judá.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 E cegou os olhos de Zedekias, e o atou com duas cadeias de bronze, para leva-lo a Babilônia.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 E os caldeus queimaram a fogo a casa do rei e as casas do povo, e derribaram os muros de Jerusalém.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 E o resto do povo, que ficou na cidade, e os rebeldes que tinham caído para ele, e o resto do povo que ficou, levou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, a Babilônia.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
10 Porém dos pobres de entre o povo que não tinha nada, deixou Nebuzaradan, capitão da guarda, alguns na terra de Judá; e deu-lhes vinhas e campos naquele dia.
But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 Mas Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, havia dado ordem acerca de Jeremias, na mão de Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, dizendo:
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
12 Toma-o, e põe sobre ele os teus olhos, e não lhe faças nenhum mal; antes, como ele te disser, assim usarás com ele.
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Enviou pois Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, e Nebus-hasban, Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer, Rab-mag, e todos os príncipes do rei de Babilônia:
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
14 Enviaram pois, e tomaram a Jeremias do átrio da guarda, e o entregaram a Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan, para que o levasse à casa; e ficou entre o povo.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 Também a Jeremias veio a palavra do Senhor, estando ele ainda encerrado no átrio da guarda, dizendo:
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 Vai, e fala a Ebed-melech, o ethiope, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu trarei as minhas palavras sobre esta cidade para mal e não para bem: e serão cumpridas diante de ti naquele dia.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Porém te farei escapar naquele dia, diz o Senhor, e não serás entregue na mão dos homens perante cuja face tu temes.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
18 Porque certamente te livrarei, e não cairás à espada: mas a tua alma terás por despojo, porquanto confiaste em mim, diz o Senhor.
For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
