Jeremias 40:1-6

Listen to Jeremias 40:1-6

A Libertação de Jeremias

1 O SENHOR dirigiu a palavra a Jeremias depois que o comandante da guarda imperial, Nebuzaradã, o libertou em Ramá. Ele tinha encontrado Jeremias acorrentado no meio de todos os cativos de Jerusalém e de Judá que estavam sendo levados para o exílio na Babilônia.
2 Quando o comandante da guarda encontrou Jeremias, disse-lhe: “Foi o SENHOR, o seu Deus, que determinou esta desgraça para este lugar.
3 Agora o SENHOR a cumpriu e fez o que tinha prometido. Tudo isso aconteceu porque vocĂŞs pecaram contra o SENHOR e nĂŁo lhe obedeceram.
4 Mas hoje eu o liberto das correntes que prendem as suas mãos. Se você quiser, venha comigo para a Babilônia e eu cuidarei de você; se, porém, não quiser, pode ficar. Veja! Toda esta terra está diante de você; vá para onde achar melhor”.
5 Contudo, antes de Jeremias se virar para partir,[a] Nebuzaradã acrescentou: “Volte a Gedalias, filho de Aicam, neto de Safã, a quem o rei da Babilônia nomeou governador sobre as cidades de Judá, e viva com ele entre o povo, ou vá para qualquer outro lugar que desejar”.Então o comandante lhe deu provisões e um presente, e o deixou partir.
6 Jeremias foi a Gedalias, filho de Aicam, em Mispá, e permaneceu com ele entre o povo que foi deixado na terra de Judá.

The release of Jeremiah, where, and by whom, Jer 40:1-4; the liberty granted him to go to Babylon, or stay in Judea, as he thought fit; and, if he chose the latter, is advised to go to Gedaliah, appointed governor, or where he would; and is dismissed with food, and a reward, Jer 40:4-6; upon which he went and dwelt with Gedaliah, Jer 40:7; to whom also the captains of the dispersed forces joined themselves, to whom he swore, and bid them be of good cheer; and exhorted them to serve the Chaldeans, which he urged from the profit of it to them, and by his own example, Jer 40:8-10; and to whom also gathered the Jews in other countries, Jer 40:11,12; by the captains he is informed of a conspiracy against his life, and one of them offers to destroy the conspirator, which Gedaliah would not agree to, disbelieving the information, Jer 40:13-16.
