Jeremias 36
1 Sucedeu, no quarto ano de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, que veio esta palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, dizendo:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 Toma para ti um rolo de livro, e escreve nele todas as palavras que falei a ti sobre Israel e sobre Judá, e sobre todas as nações, desde o dia que comecei a falar a ti, desde os dias de Josias até hoje.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Talvez a casa de Judá ouça todo o mal que eu penso lhes fazer; para que cada um se converta de seu mau caminho; então eu perdoarei a maldade e o pecado deles.
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Então Jeremias chamou a Baruque, filho de Nerias; e Baruque escreveu da boca de Jeremias, em um rolo de livro, todas as palavras que o SENHOR havia lhe falado.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 E Jeremias mandou a Baruque, dizendo: Eu estou preso, não posso entrar na casa de SENHOR;
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Portanto entra tu, e lê do rolo que escreveste de minha boca as palavras do SENHOR aos ouvidos do povo, na casa do SENHOR, no dia do jejum; e também as lerás aos ouvidos de todo Judá, os que vêm de suas cidades.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Talvez a oração deles chegue à presença do SENHOR, e cada um se converta de seu mau caminho; porque grande é a ira e o furor que o SENHOR tem pronunciado contra este povo.
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 E Baruque filho de Nerias fez conforme a tudo quanto o profeta Jeremias havia lhe mandado, lendo naquele livro as palavras do SENHOR [na] casa do SENHOR.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 E aconteceu no quinto ano de Jeoaquim filho de Josias, rei de Judá, no nono mês, que proclamaram jejum diante do SENHOR, a todo o povo em Jerusalém, como também a todo o povo que vinha das cidades de Judá a Jerusalém.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Então Baruque leu naquele livro as palavras de Jeremias [na] casa do SENHOR, na câmara de Gemarias, filho de Safã, o escriba, no pático de cima, à entrada da porta nova da casa do SENHOR, aos ouvidos de todo o povo.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 E Miqueias, filho de Gemarias, filho de Safã, quando ouviu todas as palavras do SENHOR daquele livro,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 Desceu à casa do rei, à câmara do escriba; e eis que estavam ali sentados todos os príncipes: Elisama, o escriba; Delaías filho de Semeías; Elnatã filho de Acbor; Gemarias filho de Safã; Zedequias filho de Ananias; como também a todos os príncipes.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 E Miqueias lhes anunciou todas as palavras que tinha ouvido enquanto Baruque lia no livro aos ouvidos do povo.
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 Então todos os príncipes enviaram a Jeudi filho de Netanias, filho de Selemias, filho de Cusi, para que dissesse a Baruque: Toma o rolo em que leste aos ouvidos do povo, e vem. Então Baruque filho de Nerias tomou o rolo em sua mão, e veio a eles.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 E lhe disseram: Senta-te agora, e o lê aos nossos ouvidos. E Baruque leu aos seus ouvidos.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 E sucedeu que, quando ouviram todas aquelas palavras, cada um se voltou espantado uns aos outros, e disseram a Baruque: Sem dúvida alguma anunciaremos ao rei todas estas palavras.
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 E perguntaram a Baruque, dizendo: Conta-nos agora: como escreveste todas estas palavras? Da boca de [Jeremias]?
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 E Baruque lhes disse: Ele me ditava de sua boca todas estas palavras, e eu escrevia no livro com tinta.
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Então disseram os príncipes a Baruque: Vai, e esconde-te, tu e Jeremias, e ninguém saiba onde estais.
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 E foram ao encontro do rei no pátio, porém o rolo depositaram na câmara de Elisama, o escriba; e contaram aos ouvidos do rei todas aquelas palavras.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Então o rei enviou a Jeudi para que tomasse o rolo; e o tomou da câmara de Elisama, o escriba, e Jeudi o leu aos ouvidos do rei, e aos ouvidos de todos os príncipes que estavam junto ao rei.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 (E o rei estava na casa de inverno, no nono mês; e havia diante dele um braseiro aceso);
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 E sucedeu que, havendo Jeudi lido três ou quatro colunas, rasgou-o com uma lâmina de escrever, e o lançou no fogo que tinha no braseiro, até que todo o rolo se consumiu no fogo que estava no braseiro.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 E não temeram, nem rasgaram suas vestes, o rei e todos seus servos que ouviram todas estas palavras.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 E ainda que Elnatã, Delaías e Gemarias tenham rogado ao rei que não queimasse aquele rolo, mesmo assim ele se recusou a os ouvir;
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 Em vez disso, o rei mandou a Jerameel filho do rei, a Seraías filho de Azriel, e a Selemias filho de Abdeel, que prendessem ao escriba Baruque e ao profeta Jeremias; mas o SENHOR havia os escondido.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, depois do rei ter queimado o rolo, e as palavras que Baruque tinha escrito da boca de Jeremias, dizendo:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 Toma de novo outro rolo, e escreve nele todas as primeiras palavras que estavam no primeiro rolo, o qual queimou Jeoaquim, rei de Judá.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 E dirás a Jeoaquim rei de Judá: Assim diz o SENHOR: Tu queimaste este rolo, dizendo: Por que escreveste nele, dizendo: Certamente virá o rei da Babilônia, e destruirá esta terra, e fará com que não fiquem nela homens nem animais?
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR quanto a Joaquim rei de Judá: Ele não terá quem se sente sobre o trono de Davi; e seu cadáver será lançado ao calor do dia e à geada da noite.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 E punirei a ele, assim como sua semente e os seus servos, por sua perversidade; e trarei sobre eles, sobre os moradores de Jerusalém, e sobre os homens de Judá, todo o mal que tenho lhes dito mas não [quiseram] ouvir.
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Então Jeremias tomou outro rolo, e o deu a Baruque filho de Nerias, o escriba; o qual escreveu nele da boca de Jeremias todas as palavras do livro que Jeoaquim, rei de Judá, tinha queimado a fogo; e ainda foram acrescentadas a elas muitas outras palavras semelhantes.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
