Jeremias 49

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Aos amonitas - Eis o que diz o Senhor: Israel não possui filhos nem herdeiros? Por que Melcom apoderou-se de Gad, e instalou seu povo nas suas cidades?	1 Against the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord: “Does Israel have no sons? Or is there no heir for him? Then why has Milcom possessed the inheritance of Gad, and why have his people lived in his cities?
2 Dias virão - oráculo do Senhor - em que farei ouvir gritos de guerra em Rabá dos amonitas; ficará ela reduzida a um montão de escombros; suas filhas serão entregues às chamas, e Israel herdará dos que dele herdaram - oráculo do Senhor.	2 Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will cause the noise of battle to be heard over Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. And it will be scattered into a tumult, and her daughters will be burned with fire. And Israel shall possess those who had possessed him, says the Lord.
3 Lamenta-te, Hesebon, porque Hai foi devastada; gritai, filhas de Rabá, revesti-vos de cilícios e cobri-vos de saco, errando pelo redil, porquanto Melcom vai ser levado ao exílio com todos os seus sacerdotes e chefes.	3 Wail, O Heshbon! For Ai has been devastated. Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Wrap yourselves with haircloth. Mourn and circle the hedges. For Milcom will be led into the transmigration: his priests and his leaders together.
4 Por que orgulhar-te da fertilidade de teus vales? Filha esquiva que tanto confias em teus tesouros, dizendo: Quem ousaria atacar-me?	4 Why have you gloried in the valleys? Your valley has flowed away, O delicate daughter, for you had confidence in your treasures, and you were saying, ‘Who can approach me?’
5 Vou desencadear em volta de ti o terror - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos. Sereis expulsos, um por um, sem que ninguém consiga reunir os fugitivos.	5 Behold, I will lead a terror over you, says the Lord, the God of hosts, from those who are all around you. And you will be dispersed, each one from before your sight. There will be no one who will gather together those who are fleeing.
6 Em seguida, mudarei a sorte dos amonitas.	6 And after this, I will cause the captives of the sons of Ammon to return, says the Lord.”
7 Contra Edom. - Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Não existe mais sabedoria em Temã? Perdeu-se o conselho dos clarividentes, desvaneceu-se a inteligência?	7 Against Idumea. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Counsel has perished from the sons. Their wisdom has become useless.
8 Fugi, voltai as costas, ocultai-vos nos esconderijos, habitantes de Dedã, pois que trago a ruína sobre Esaú: chegou a hora da devastação.	8 Flee and turn your backs! Descend into the chasm, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I have brought the perdition of Esau over him, the time of his visitation.
9 Se vierem a ti vindimadores, nenhum cacho deixarão. Se forem ladrões noturnos, pilharão à saciedade.	9 If those who gather grapes had passed by you, would they not have left behind a cluster? If there were thieves in the night, they would seize what was enough for themselves.
10 Porquanto eu sondei Esaú, e lhe descobri os esconderijos: ele não se pode mais ocultar. Arruinou-se-lhe a raça, seus irmãos. e seus vizinhos. E não subsistirá mais.	10 Yet truly, I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his secrets, and he is not able to be concealed. His offspring has been devastated, with his brothers and his neighbors, and he himself will not exist.
11 Abandona teus órfãos, dar-lhes-ei do que viver; ponham tuas viúvas sua confiança em mim!	11 Leave behind your orphans. I will make sure that they live. And your widows will hope in me.”
12 Porque assim falou o Senhor: Aqueles que não deviam beber deste cálice, terão de beber. E tu? Estarias isento dele? Não, tu beberás;	12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, those who judged that they would not drink the cup, will certainly drink. And so, will you be released as if you were innocent? You will not be released as if innocent. Instead, you shall certainly drink.
13 juro-o por mim mesmo - oráculo do Senhor. Será Bosra objeto de pasmo e de opróbrio, uma solidão maldita; e suas cidades serão eterna ruína.	13 For I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will be a desolation, and a disgrace, and a wasteland, and a curse. And all her cities will be a perpetual wilderness.
14 Chegou-me uma notícia da parte do Senhor; um arauto foi-me enviado dentre as nações: Uni-vos! Atacai-o! Erguei-vos para a guerra!	14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and an legate has been sent to the nations: ‘Gather yourselves together, and go forth against her, and let us rise up to battle.’
15 Olha: faço-te pequeno entre as nações, desprezado entre os homens.	15 For behold, I have made you little among the nations, contemptible among men.
16 O terror... o orgulho do teu coração enganou-te, a ti, que habitas nas concavidades dos rochedos, e que ocupas o cume das colinas. Ainda que colocasses teu ninho tão alto quanto o da águia, de lá te precipitaria - oráculo do Senhor.	16 Your arrogance has deceived you, by the pride of your heart, you who live in the caverns of the rock and who strive to take hold of the height of the hill. But even if you make your nest like that of an eagle, I will pull you down from there, says the Lord.
17 Será transformada Edom em objeto de espanto, e o transeunte, estupefato, mofará de suas ruínas.	17 And Idumea will be a desert. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied and will hiss over all its wounds.
18 Repetir-se-á a catástrofe de Sodoma e Gomorra, e das cidades vizinhas - oráculo do Senhor. Ninguém mais habitará lá e nenhum ser humano a povoará.	18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord: there will not be a man living there, and no son of man will tend it.
19 Qual leão {o inimigo} que sobe dos espinheiros do Jordão para uma pastagem sem fim, assim, num instante, farei fugir daqui {Edom} e aí estabelecerei aquele que eu escolher. Quem se iguala a mim? Quem poderia provocar-me? Qual o pastor que poderia afrontar-me?	19 Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan, against the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush against her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?
20 Escutai a decisão do Senhor acerca de Edom, e seus desígnios contra os homens de Temã: serão arrastados para a morte, como débeis cordeiros, e seus campos serão devastados;	20 Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has undertaken concerning Edom, and to his thoughts, which he has devised concerning the inhabitants of Teman. Certainly, the little ones of the flock will cast them down, unless they scatter them with their habitation.
21 ao estrondo de sua queda, treme a terra e até o mar Vermelho ressoa o seu fragor.	21 The earth has been shaken at the noise of their destruction. The outcry of their voice has been heard at the Red Sea.
22 Qual uma águia, eis que desprende o vôo, estendendo suas asas sobre Bosra; e o coração dos guerreiros de Edom, naquele dia, se assemelhará ao coração da mulher em parto.	22 Behold, he will ascend like an eagle and will fly. And he will spread his wings over Bozrah. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Idumea will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.”
23 Contra Damasco: Foram confundidos Emat e Arfad porque uma notícia funesta lhes adveio, e de medo desfaleceram: é o mar em tormenta que não se pode acalmar.	23 Against Damascus. “Hamath has been confounded, with Arpad. For they have heard a most grievous report. They have been stirred up like the sea. Because of anxiousness, they were not able to rest.
24 Damasco perdeu a coragem, desejaria fugir. O terror, porém, a paralisa, e a angústia e a dor dela se apoderam, qual mulher em parto.	24 Damascus has been broken. She has been turned to flight. Trembling has taken hold of her. Anguish and sorrows have seized her, like a woman giving birth.
25 Como não foi abandonada a cidade gloriosa, a cidade que fazia minhas delícias?	25 How could they have abandoned the praiseworthy city, the city of rejoicing?
26 Porquanto, cairão os jovens em suas praças, e seus homens de guerra nesse dia perecerão - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos.	26 For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all the men of battle will be silenced in that day, says the Lord of hosts.
27 Vou lançar fogo nas muralhas de Damasco para devorar os palácios de Ben-Hadad. Oráculo contra os filhos do oriente	27 And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the defensive walls of Ben-hadad.”
28 A Cedar e os reinos de Asor, vencidos por Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia. Eis o que diz o Senhor: Erguei-vos! Atacai Cedar! Aniquilai os filhos do oriente!	28 Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has struck down. Thus says the Lord: “Rise up and ascend to Kedar, and lay waste to the sons of the East.
29 Sejam-lhes as tendas arrebatadas e os rebanhos! E que se lhes tirem os pavilhões, bagagens e camelos ao grito de: Que o terror se espalhe!	29 They will seize their tabernacles and their flocks. And they will take for themselves their tents, and all their vessels, and their camels. And they will call down a terror upon them on every side.
30 Salvai-vos! Fugi a toda pressa, ocultai-vos em esconderijos, habitantes de Asor - oráculo do Senhor.	30 Flee, go away urgently! Sit in deep pits, you who inhabit Hazor, says the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has undertaken a counsel against you, and he has devised plans against you.
31 Erguei-vos! Atacai um povo pacífico que vive em segurança - oráculo do Senhor - e que habita sozinho, sem portas nem ferrolhos.	31 Rise up, and ascend to a nation that is quiet and lives in confidence, says the Lord. They have neither gates nor bars. They dwell alone.
32 Sejam seus camelos a vossa presa e seus rebanhos numerosos o vosso espólio! Espalharei por todos os ventos esses homens de cabelos raspados, e de toda parte lançarei sobre eles a desgraça, - oráculo do Senhor.	32 And their camels will be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle will be a prey. And I will disperse, into every wind, those who have shaved their hair. And from all their confines, I will lead great destruction over them, says the Lord.
33 Asor tornar-se-á guarida de chacais, eterna solidão onde ninguém mais habitará, e onde doravante nenhum ser humano permanecerá.	33 And Hazor will be a habitation for serpents, deserted even unto eternity. No man will abide there, nor will a son of man tend it.”
34 Palavra do Senhor dirigida ao profeta Jeremias acerca de Elão, no começo do reinado de Sedecias, rei de Judá, nestes termos:	34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying:
35 Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Vou quebrar o arco de Elão, e o melhor de sua força.	35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, and the summit of their strength.
36 Mandarei vir sobre Elão os quatro ventos, dos quatro cantos do céu. E esses ventos os dispersarei. Não haverá nação onde não cheguem fugitivos de Elão.	36 And I will lead the four winds over Elam, from the four corners of heaven. And I will scatter them into all these winds. And there will be no nation to which the fugitives of Elam will not travel.
37 Farei tremer os elamitas diante de seus inimigos, e ante aqueles que tramam contra sua vida; precipitarei calamidades sobre eles: o fogo de minha cólera - oráculo do Senhor - e lançarei sobre eles a espada até que sejam exterminados.	37 And I will cause Elam to be terrified before their enemies and in the sight of those who seek their life. And I will lead an evil over them, the wrath of my fury, says the Lord. And I will send the sword after them, until I consume them.
38 Colocarei meu trono em Elão, e mandarei matar o rei e os chefes - oráculo do Senhor.	38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and I will perish the kings and princes from there, says the Lord.
39 Com o correr dos tempos, porém, mudarei a sorte de Elão - oráculo do Senhor.	39 But in the last days, I will cause the captives of Elam to return, says the Lord.”
