Jeremias 15
1 Disse-me, porém, o SENHOR: Ainda que Moisés e Samuel se pusessem diante de mim, minha boa vontade não seria com este povo. Lança-os de diante de mim, e saiam.
Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’
2 E será que, quando te perguntarem: Para onde sairemos? Tu lhes dirás: Assim diz o SENHOR: Os que são para a morte, para a morte; e os que são para a espada, para a espada; e os que são para a fome, para a fome; e os que são para o cativeiro, para o cativeiro.
And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].
3 Pois eu lhes darei quatro tipos de castigos, diz o SENHOR: espada para matar, cães para despedaçar, e aves do céu e animais da terra para devorar e para destruir.
I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].
4 E farei deles que sejam motivo de horror a todos os reinos da terra, por causa de Manassés filho de Ezequias rei de Judá, pelo que ele fez em Jerusalém.
Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.
5 Pois quem terá compaixão de ti, ó Jerusalém? Ou quem se entristecerá por tua causa? Ou quem se desviaria para perguntar se estás bem?
You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).
6 Tu me deixaste, diz o SENHOR, voltaste para trás [de mim]; por isso estenderei minha mão contra ti, e te destruirei; já estou cansado de sentir pena.
You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.
7 E eu os padejarei com pá até as portas da terra, [e os] deixarei sem filhos; destruirei meu povo, pois não voltaram atrás de seus caminhos.
At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.
8 Suas viúvas se multiplicaram mais que a areia dos mares; eu lhes trouxe sobre a mãe dos rapazes um destruidor ao meio dia; sobre ela eu fiz cair de angústia e terrores.
I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.
9 Enfraqueceu-se a que teve sete filhos; a sua alma perdeu o fôlego; seu sol se lhe pôs, sendo ainda de dia; envergonhou-se, e ficou humilhada; e os que dela restarem, eu os entregarei a espada diante de seus inimigos, diz o SENHOR.
A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
10 Ai de mim, minha mãe, que me geraste homem de brigas e homem de confrontos a toda a terra! Nunca lhes emprestei a juros, nem deles emprestado; e [mesmo assim] todos eles me amaldiçoam.
[I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”
11 Disse o SENHOR: Certamente eu te livrarei para o bem; certamente intervirei por ti no tempo do mal, e no tempo de angústia, por causa do inimigo.
But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”
12 Pode, por acaso o ferro [comum] quebrar o ferro do norte, ou o bronze?
[Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.
13 Tuas riquezas e teus tesouros darei ao despojo por preço nenhum, por todos os teus pecados, e em todos os teus limites;
I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.
14 E [te] levarei com teus inimigos a uma terra que não conheces; porque fogo se acendeu em minha ira, que arderá sobre vós.
I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”
15 Tu sabes, ó SENHOR; lembra-te de mim, visita-me, e vinga-me de meus perseguidores. Na lentidão de tua ira não me elimines; tu sabes que é por causa de ti que sofro insultos.
[Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.
16 Achando-se tuas palavras, logo eu as comi; e tua palavra me foi por prazer e por alegria a meu coração; pois me chamo pelo teu nome, ó SENHOR Deus dos exércitos.
Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]
17 Não me sentei em companhia de zombadores, nem [com eles] me alegrei; por causa de tua mão, eu me sentei sozinho, pois me encheste de indignação.
When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].
18 Por que minha dor é contínua, e minha ferida intratável, que não permite cura? Por acaso serias tu para mim como uma ilusão, como águas que não se pode confiar?
So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”
19 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Se te converteres, eu te restaurarei, e diante de mim estarás; e se tirares o que é de precioso ao invés do vil, serás como minha boca. Convertam-se eles a ti, e tu não te convertas a eles.
Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.
20 Pois eu te porei para este povo [para seres] como um forte muro de bronze; e lutarão contra ti, mas não te vencerão; pois eu estou contigo para te guardar e te livrar, diz o SENHOR.
They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.
21 E eu te livrarei da mão dos maus, e te resgatarei da mão dos terríveis.
[Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
