Jeremias 39
1 No nono ano de Zedequias, rei de Judá, no décimo mês, Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, e todo seu exército vieram contra Jerusalém, e a sitiaram.
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 décimo primeiro ano de Zedequias, no quarto mês, no nono dia do mês, foi feita uma 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 Todos os príncipes do rei da Babilônia entraram, e sentaram-se no portão do meio: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, o Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer, o Rabino, com todos os demais príncipes do rei da 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 Quando Zedequias, o rei de Judá, e todos os homens de guerra os viram, fugiram e saíram da cidade à noite, pelo caminho do jardim do rei, pelo portão entre as duas muralhas; e ele saiu em direção ao Arabah.
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 Mas o exército dos caldeus os perseguiu e ultrapassou Zedequias nas planícies de Jericó. Quando o levaram, levaram-no a Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, a Ribla, na terra de Hamath; e ele pronunciou juízo sobre ele.
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 Então, o rei da Babilônia matou os filhos de Zedequias em Ribla diante de seus olhos. O rei da Babilônia também matou 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 Moreover ele estendeu os olhos de Zedequias e o amarrou em grilhões, para levá-lo à Babilônia.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 Os caldeus queimaram a casa do rei e as casas do povo com fogo e derrubaram as muralhas de Jerusalém.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Então Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda levou cativo para a Babilônia o resto do povo que permaneceu na cidade, os desertores que também caíram sobre ele, e o resto do povo que permaneceu.
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 Mas Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda deixou os pobres do povo, que não tinham nada, na terra de Judá, e lhes deu vinhedos e campos ao mesmo tempo.
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 Agora Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, comandou Nebuzaradan, o capitão da guarda a respeito de Jeremias, 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 “Levem-no e cuidem dele”. Não lhe façam mal; mas façam-lhe o mesmo que ele lhes disser”.
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Então Nebuzaradan o capitão da guarda, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, e Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, e todos os oficiais chefes do rei da 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 enviou e levou Jeremias para fora da corte da guarda, e o entregou a Gedaliah o filho de Ahikam, o filho de Shaphan, para que o trouxesse para casa. Assim, ele viveu 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 Agora a palavra de Javé veio a Jeremias enquanto ele estava calado na corte da guarda, dizendo:
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 “Vá, e fale com Ebedmelech, o etíope, dizendo: 'Javé dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, diz: “Eis que trarei minhas palavras sobre esta cidade para o mal, e não para o bem; e elas serão cumpridas diante de vós 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 Mas eu vos entregarei naquele dia”, diz Javé; “e não sereis entregues nas mãos dos homens de quem temeis”.
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 Pois eu certamente o salvarei”. Não cairás pela espada, mas escaparás com tua vida, porque confiaste em mim”, diz Yahweh'”.
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.'”
