Jeremias 43
1 E sucedeu que, acabando Jeremias de falar a todo o povo todas as palavras do Senhor Deus deles, com as quais o Senhor Deus deles lho havia enviado, para que lhes dissesse todas estas palavras,
Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
2 Então disse Azarias, filho de Hosaias, e Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os homens soberbos, dizendo a Jeremias: Tu dizes mentiras; o Senhor nosso Deus não te enviou a dizer: Não entreis no Egito, para lá peregrinar:
Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
3 Antes Baruch, filho de Nerias, te incita contra nós, para entregar-nos na mão dos caldeus, para nos matarem, ou para nos transportarem para Babilônia.
Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”
4 Não obedeceu pois Johanan, filho de Careah, nem nenhum de todos os príncipes dos exércitos, nem todo o povo, à voz do Senhor, para ficarem na terra de Judá.
And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.
5 Antes tomou Johanan, filho de Careah, e todos os príncipes dos exércitos a todo o resto de Judá, que havia voltado dentre todas as nações, para onde haviam sido lançados, para peregrinarem na terra de Judá;
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
6 Os homens, e as mulheres, e os meninos, e as filhas do rei, e a toda a alma que deixara Nebuzaradan, capitão dos da guarda, com Gedalias, filho de Ahicam, filho de Saphan; como também a Jeremias, o profeta, e a Baruch, filho de Nerias:
men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
7 E entraram na terra do Egito, porque não obedeceram à voz do Senhor; e vieram até Tahpanhes.
And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, em Tahpanhes, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
9 Toma na tua mão pedras grandes, e esconde-as entre o barro no forno que está à porta da casa de faraó em Tahpanhes, perante os olhos de homens judeus.
“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 E dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo, e porei o seu trono sobre estas pedras que escondi; e estenderá a sua tenda real sobre elas.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.
11 E virá, e ferirá a terra do Egito: quem para a morte, para a morte; e quem para o cativeiro, para o cativeiro; e quem para a espada, para a espada.
And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.
12 E porei fogo às casas dos deuses do Egito, e queima-los-á, e leva-los-á cativos; e vestir-se-á da terra do Egito, como se veste o pastor do seu vestido, e sairá dali em paz.
And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.
13 E quebrará as estátuas de Beth-semes, que está na terra do Egito; e as casas dos deuses do Egito queimará a fogo.
And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
