1 Ouviram, pois, Sefatias, filho de Matã, e Gedalias, filho de Pasur, e Jeucal, filho de Selemias, e Pasur, filho de Malquias, as palavras que anunciava Jeremias a todo o povo, dizendo:
1
Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people when he said,
2 Assim diz o Senhor: O que ficar nesta cidade morrerá � espada, de fome e de peste; mas o que sair para os caldeus viverá; pois a sa vida lhe será por despojo, e vivera.
2
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague, but whoever goes over to the Babylonians will live. They will escape with their lives; they will live.’
3 Assim diz o Senhor: Esta cidade infalivelmente será entregue na mão do exército do rei de Babilônia, e ele a tomará.
3
And this is what the LORD says: ‘This city will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, who will capture it.’ ”
4 E disseram os príncipes ao rei: Morra este homem, visto que ele assim enfraquece as mãos dos homens de guerra que restam nesta cidade, e as mãos de todo o povo, dizendo-lhes tais palavras; porque este homem não busca a paz para este povo, porem o seu mal.
4
Then the officials said to the king, “This man should be put to death. He is discouraging the soldiers who are left in this city, as well as all the people, by the things he is saying to them. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin.”
5 E disse o rei Zedequias: Eis que ele está na vossa mão; porque não é o rei que possa coisa alguma contra vós.
5
“He is in your hands,” King Zedekiah answered. “The king can do nothing to oppose you.”
6 Então tomaram a Jeremias, e o lançaram na cisterna de Malquias, filho do rei, que estava no átrio da guarda; e desceram Jeremias com cordas; mas na cisterna não havia água, senão lama, e atolou-se Jeremias na lama.
6
So they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
7 Quando Ebede-Meleque, o etíope, um eunuco que então estava na casa do rei, ouviu que tinham metido Jeremias na cisterna, o rei estava assentado � porta de Benjamim.
7
But Ebed-Melek, a Cushite, an official in the royal palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. While the king was sitting in the Benjamin Gate,
8 Saiu, pois, Ebede-Meleque da casa do rei, e falou ao rei, dizendo:
8
Ebed-Melek went out of the palace and said to him,
9 o rei, senhor meu, estes homens fizeram mal em tudo quanto fizeram a Jeremias, o profeta, lançando-o na cisterna; de certo morrerá no lugar onde se acha, por causa da fome, pois não há mais pão na cidade.
9
“My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have thrown him into a cistern, where he will starve to death when there is no longer any bread in the city.”
10 Deu ordem, então, o rei a Ebede-Meleque, o etíope, dizendo: Toma contigo daqui três homens, e tira Jeremias, o profeta, da cisterna, antes que morra.
10
Then the king commanded Ebed-Melek the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”
11 Assim Ebede-Meleque tomou consigo os homens, e entrou na casa do rei, debaixo da tesouraria, e tomou dali uns trapos velhos e rotos, e roupas velhas, e desceu-os a Jeremias na cisterna por meio de cordas.
11
So Ebed-Melek took the men with him and went to a room under the treasury in the palace. He took some old rags and worn-out clothes from there and let them down with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
12 E disse Ebede-Meleque, o etíope, a Jeremias: Poe agora estes trapos velhos e rotos, debaixo dos teus sovacos, entre os braços e as cordas. E Jeremias assim o fez.
12
Ebed-Melek the Cushite said to Jeremiah, “Put these old rags and worn-out clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so,
13 E tiraram Jeremias com as cordas, e o alçaram da cisterna; e ficou Jeremias no átrio da guarda.
13
and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
14 Então mandou o rei Zedequias e fez vir � sua presença Jeremias, o profeta, � terceira entrada do templo do Senhor; e disse o rei a Jeremias: Vou perguntar-te uma coisa; não me encubras nada.
14
Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and had him brought to the third entrance to the temple of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” the king said to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”
15 E disse Jeremias a Zedequias: Se eu ta declarar, acaso não me matarás? E se eu te aconselhar, não me ouvirás.
15
Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I give you an answer, will you not kill me? Even if I did give you counsel, you would not listen to me.”
16 Então jurou o rei Zedequias a Jeremias, em segredo, dizendo: Vive o Senhor, que nos fez esta alma, que não te matarei nem te entregarei na mão destes homens que procuram a tua morte.
16
But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah: “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who want to kill you.”
17 Então Jeremias disse a Zedequias: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Se te renderes aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, será poupada a tua vida, e esta cidade não se queimará a fogo, e viverás tu e a tua casa.
17
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down; you and your family will live.
18 Mas, se não saíres aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, então será entregue esta cidade na mão dos caldeus, e eles a queimarão a fogo, e tu não escaparás da sua mão.
18
But if you will not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, this city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians and they will burn it down; you yourself will not escape from them.’ ”
19 E disse o rei Zedequias a Jeremias: Receio-me dos judeus que se passaram para os caldeus, que seja entregue na mão deles, e escarneçam de mim.
19
King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have gone over to the Babylonians, for the Babylonians may hand me over to them and they will mistreat me.”
20 Jeremias, porém, disse: Não te entregarão. Ouve, peço-te, a voz do Senhor, conforme a qual eu te falo; e bem te irá, e poupar-se-á a tua vida.
20
“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the LORD by doing what I tell you. Then it will go well with you, and your life will be spared.
21 Mas, se tu recusares sair, esta é a palavra que me mostrou o Senhor:
21
But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the LORD has revealed to me:
22 Eis que todas as mulheres que ficaram na casa do rei de Judá serão levadas aos príncipes do rei de Babilônia, e elas mesmas dirão: Os teus pacificadores te incitaram e prevaleceram contra ti; e agora que se atolaram os teus pés na lama, voltaram atrás.
22
All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. Those women will say to you: “ ‘They misled you and overcame you— those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.’
23 Todas as tuas mulheres e os teus filhos serão levados para fora aos caldeus; e tu não escaparás da sua mão, mas pela mão do rei de Babilônia serás preso, e esta cidade será queimada a fogo.
23
“All your wives and children will be brought out to the Babylonians. You yourself will not escape from their hands but will be captured by the king of Babylon; and this city will be burned down.”
24 Então disse Zedequias a Jeremias: Ninguém saiba estas palavras, e não morrerás.
24
Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about this conversation, or you may die.
25 Se os príncipes ouvirem que falei contigo, e vierem ter contigo e te disserem: Declara-nos agora o que disseste ao rei e o que o rei te disse; não no-lo encubras, e não te mataremos;
25
If the officials hear that I talked with you, and they come to you and say, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us or we will kill you,’
26 então lhes dirás: Eu lancei a minha súplica diante do rei, que não me fizesse tornar � casa de Jônatas, para morrer ali.
26
then tell them, ‘I was pleading with the king not to send me back to Jonathan’s house to die there.’ ”
27 Então vieram todos os principes a Jeremias, e o interrogaram; e ele lhes respondeu conforme todas as palavras que o rei lhe havia ordenado; assim cessaram de falar com ele, pois a coisa não foi percebida.
27
All the officials did come to Jeremiah and question him, and he told them everything the king had ordered him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had heard his conversation with the king.
28 E ficou Jeremias no átrio da guarda, até o dia em que Jerusalém foi tomada.
28
And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured. This is how Jerusalem was taken:
