Jeremiah 20

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.	1 Tendo o sacerdote Fassur, filho de Emer, que era superintendente do templo, ouvido o profeta Jeremias pronunciar esse oráculo,
2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.	2 mandou espancá-lo e pô-lo em grilhões na porta superior de Benjamim, que se encontra no templo do Senhor.
3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’ ”	3 No dia seguinte, quando Fassur mandou libertá-lo, disse-lhe Jeremias: Não é mais Fassur que te chama o Senhor, mas sim Magor-Missabib.
4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.	4 Pois assim diz o Senhor: vou fazer de ti objeto de pavor, para ti mesmo e teus amigos, os quais, sob teu olhar, perecerão à espada de seus inimigos. Entregarei Judá nas mãos do rei de Babilônia, que os deportará para Babilônia, onde os ferirá à espada.
5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.	5 E entregarei todas as riquezas desta cidade, todo o produto de seu trabalho, todas as suas reservas preciosas e todos os tesouros dos reis de Judá, nas mãos de seus inimigos, que os tomarão como presa, e os levarão para Babilônia.
6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”	6 E tu, Fassur, serás arrastado, com tua família, para o cativeiro. Irás a Babilônia para lá morrerem e serem enterrados tu e teus amigos, aos quais proferiste falsos oráculos.
7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.	7 Seduzistes-me, Senhor; e eu me deixei seduzir! Dominastes-me e obtivestes o triunfo. Sou objeto de contínua irrisão, e todos zombam de mim.
8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.	8 Cada vez que falo é para proclamar a aproximação da violência e devastação. E dia a dia a palavra do Senhor converte-se para mim em insultos e escárnios.
9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.	9 E, a mim mesmo, eu disse: Não mais o mencionarei e nem falarei em seu nome. Mas em meu seio havia um fogo devorador que se me encerrara nos ossos. Esgotei-me em refreá-lo, e não o consegui.
10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’	10 Ouço as invectivas da multidão: Cerca-nos o terror! Denunciai-o! Vamos denunciá-lo! Os que eram meus amigos espiam-me agora os passos. Se cair em abusos, tiraremos vantagem, e dele nos vingaremos.
11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.	11 O Senhor, porém, está comigo, qual poderoso guerreiro. Por isso, longe de triunfar, serão esmagados meus perseguidores. Sua queda os mergulhará na confusão. Será, então, a vergonha eterna, inesquecível.
12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.	12 Senhor, Deus dos exércitos, vós que sondais o justo, e que escrutais os rins e os corações, concedei-me o poder de contemplar a vingança que deles ides tirar! Pois em vossas mãos depositei a minha causa.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.	13 Cantai ao Senhor, glorificai-o, porque salvou a vida do miserável das mãos do mau.
14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!	14 Maldito o dia em que nasci! Nem abençoado seja o dia em que minha mãe me deu à luz.
15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.	15 Maldito o homem que levou a notícia a meu pai e que o cumulou de felicidade ao dizer-lhe: Nasceu-te um menino!
16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!	16 A ele suceda o que às cidades aconteceu, que o Senhor sem piedade aniquilou! Desde o alvorecer ouça os gritos de alarme e o fragor da batalha ao meio-dia.
17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!	17 Por que não me matou, antes de eu sair do ventre materno?! Minha mãe teria sido meu túmulo e eu ficaria para sempre guardado em suas entranhas!
18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”	18 Por que saí do seu seio? Para só contemplar tormentos e misérias, e na vergonha consumir meus dias?
