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 of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came 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 of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
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.
All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes 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.
When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward 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 the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment 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.
Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 E cegou os olhos de Zedekias, e o atou com duas cadeias de bronze, para leva-lo a Babilônia.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry 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.
The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke 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.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
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 captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Mas Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, havia dado ordem acerca de Jeremias, na mão de Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, dizendo:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
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 take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as 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 captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
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.
sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.
15 Também a Jeremias veio a palavra do Senhor, estando ele ainda encerrado no átrio da guarda, dizendo:
Now Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court 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.
“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in 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 deliver you in that day,” says Yahweh; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
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 surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says Yahweh.’”
