Jeremias 31

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Naquele tempo - oráculo do Senhor - serei o Deus de todas as tribos de Israel, e elas constituirão o meu povo.	1 “In that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 Eis o que diz o Senhor: foi concedida graça no deserto ao povo que o gládio poupara. Dentro em pouco Israel gozará de repouso.	2 Thus says the Lord: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.”
3 De longe me aparecia o Senhor: amo-te com eterno amor, e por isso a ti estendi o meu favor.	3 The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Therefore, showing pity, I have drawn you.
4 Reconstruir-te-ei, e serás restaurada, ó virgem de Israel! Virás, ornada de tamborins, participar de alegres danças.	4 And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play.
5 E ainda plantarás vinhas nas colinas de Samaria. E delas colherão frutos os plantadores,	5 Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives.
6 pois dia virá em que os veladores gritarão nos montes de Efraim: Erguei-vos! Subamos a Sião, ao Senhor, nosso Deus!	6 For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!’ ”
7 Porque isto diz o Senhor: Lançai gritos de júbilo por causa de Jacó. Aclamai a primeira das nações. E fazei retumbar vossos louvores, exclamando: O Senhor salvou o seu povo, o resto de Israel.	7 For thus says the Lord: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: ‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
8 Eis que os trago da terra do norte, e os reúno dos confins da terra. O cego e o coxo estarão entre eles, e também a mulher grávida e a que deu à luz. Será imensa a multidão que há de voltar,	8 Behold, I will lead them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, she who is with child, together with she who is giving birth: a great assembly returning to this place.
9 e que voltará em lágrimas. Conduzi-la-ei em meio às suas preces; levá-la-ei à beira de águas correntes, por caminhos em que não tropeçarão, porque sou para com Israel qual um pai, e Efraim é o meu primogênito.	9 They will approach with weeping. And I will lead them back with mercy. And I will lead them through the torrents of water, by an upright way, and they will not stumble in it. For I have become Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”
10 Nações, escutai a palavra do Senhor; levai a notícia às ilhas longínquas e dizei: Aquele que dispersou Israel o reunirá, e o guardará, qual pastor o seu rebanho.	10 Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: “Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.”
11 Porquanto o Senhor resgata Jacó e o liberta das mãos do seu dominador.	11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.
12 Regressarão entre gritos de alegria às alturas de Sião, acorrendo aos bens do Senhor: ao trigo, ao mosto e ao óleo, ao gado menor e ao maior. Sua alma se assemelha a jardim bem regado, e sua fraqueza cessará.	12 And they will arrive and give praise on Mount Zion. And they will flow together, to the good things of the Lord, over grain, and wine, and oil, and the offspring of cattle and herds. And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer be hungry.
13 Então a jovem executará danças alegres; jovens e velhos partilharão {o júbilo} comum. Transformar-lhes-ei o luto em regozijo, e os consolarei após o sofrimento e os alegrarei.	13 Then the virgin will rejoice with singing, the young and the old together, and I will turn their mourning into gladness, and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.
14 Cumularei os sacerdotes de abundantes vítimas gordas, e meu povo fartar-se-á de meus bens - oráculo do Senhor.	14 And I will inebriate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be filled with my good things, says the Lord.”
15 Eis o que diz o Senhor: ouve-se em Ramá uma voz, lamentos e amargos soluços. É Raquel que chora os filhos, recusando ser consolada, porque já não existem.	15 Thus says the Lord: “A voice has been heard on high: of lamentation, mourning, and weeping; of Rachel crying for her sons and refusing to be consoled over them, because they are not.”
16 Eis o que diz o Senhor: Cessa de gemer, enxuga tuas lágrimas! Tuas penas terão a recompensa - oráculo do Senhor. Voltarão {teus filhos} da terra inimiga.	16 Thus says the Lord: “Let your voice cease from crying and your eyes from tears. For there is a reward for your work, says the Lord. And they will return from the land of the enemy.
17 Desponta em teu futuro a esperança - oráculo do Senhor. Teus filhos voltarão à sua terra.	17 And there is hope for your very end, says the Lord. And the sons will return to their own borders.
18 Sim, ouço os gemidos de Efraim: Vós me castigastes; fui punido, qual novilho insubmisso. Convertei-me, porém, e que eu volte, já que sois vós o Senhor, meu Deus.	18 Listening, I heard Ephraim going into captivity: ‘You have chastised me, and I was instructed, like a young untamed bull. Convert me, and I shall be converted. For you are the Lord my God.
19 Após haver errado, arrependi-me, e ao compreender feri-me a coxa. Sinto-me envergonhado e confundido, porque trago o opróbrio de minha juventude.	19 For after you converted me, I did penance. And after you revealed to me, I struck my thigh. I am confounded and ashamed. For I have endured the disgrace of my youth.’
20 Não é, porém, Efraim, filho querido, eternamente amado por mim? Todas as vezes que falo contra ele, mais viva se torna em mim a sua lembrança. E meu coração se comove ao pensar nele. Terei compaixão dele - oráculo do Senhor.	20 Certainly, Ephraim is an honorable son to me; surely, he is a tender child. For I will still remember him, as in the time when I first spoke about him. Because my heart is stirred up over him, surely I will take pity on him, says the Lord.
21 Ergue sinais, coloca postes indicadores, olha bem o caminho, a senda que percorres. Volta, virgem de Israel, volta para tuas cidades.	21 Establish a watchtower for yourself. Place yourself in bitterness. Direct your heart into the upright way, in which you used to walk. Return, return, O virgin of Israel, to these your cities!
22 Até quando andarás vagando, filha rebelde? Eis que o Senhor criou uma coisa nova sobre a terra: É a esposa que cerca {de cuidados} o esposo.	22 How long will you be absorbed in delights, O wandering daughter? For the Lord has created something new upon the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
23 Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Quando eu lhes houver mudado a sorte à terra de Judá e às suas cidades, proferirão de novo este desejo: Que o Senhor te abençoe mansão de salvação, montanha santa!	23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Still they will speak this word in the land of Judah, and in its cities, when I will convert their captivity: ‘May the Lord bless you, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.’
24 E nesses lugares, em Judá e suas cidades, juntos habitarão operários e pastores,	24 And they will live in it: Judah together with all its cities, the farmer and those who drive the flocks.
25 porque saciarei a alma fatigada e à que enlanguesce matarei a fome.	25 For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.
26 Despertei, então, e senti quão doce me havia sido o sonho.	26 Over this, I was awakened, as if from a deep sleep. And I saw, and my sleep became sweet to me.
27 Dias virão - oráculo do Senhor - em que disseminarei sementeiras pelas casas de Israel e de Judá, das quais nascerão homens e animais.	27 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and with the offspring of cattle.
28 Da mesma forma que por eles velei a fim de prejudicá-los, assim velarei para construir e plantar - oráculo do Senhor.	28 And just as I have watched over them, so that I may root up, and tear down, and scatter, and destroy, and afflict, so will I watch over them, so that I may build and plant them, says the Lord.
29 Então, não se dirá mais: Os pais comeram uvas verdes, e prejudicados ficaram os dentes dos filhos,	29 In those days, they will no longer say: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’
30 mas cada qual morrerá em razão do próprio pecado e, se alguém comer uvas verdes, serão atingidos os próprios dentes.	30 Instead, each one will die for his own iniquity. Each man who will have eaten a bitter grape, his own teeth will be affected.
31 Dias hão de vir - oráculo do Senhor - em que firmarei nova aliança com as casas de Israel e de Judá.	31 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will form a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
32 Será diferente da que concluí com seus pais no dia em que pela mão os tomei para tirá-los do Egito, aliança que violaram embora eu fosse o esposo deles.	32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, so as to lead them away from the land of Egypt, the covenant which they nullified, though I was the ruler over them, says the Lord.
33 Eis a aliança que, então, farei com a casa de Israel - oráculo do Senhor: Incutir-lhe-ei a minha lei; gravá-la-ei em seu coração. Serei o seu Deus e Israel será o meu povo.	33 But this will be the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord: I will give my law to their inner most being, and I will write it upon their heart. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 Então, ninguém terá encargo de instruir seu próximo ou irmão, dizendo: Aprende a conhecer o Senhor, porque todos me conhecerão, grandes e pequenos - oráculo do Senhor -, pois a todos perdoarei as faltas, sem guardar nenhuma lembrança de seus pecados.	34 And they will no longer teach, a man his neighbor, and a man his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all will know me, from the littlest of them even to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will no longer remember their sin.
35 Eis o que diz o Senhor, que mandou o sol iluminar o dia, ordenou à lua e às estrelas clarearem a noite; que ergue as ondas encapeladas do mar e cujo nome é Javé dos exércitos:	35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun as the light of the day, who puts the moon and the stars in order as the light of the night, who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar: the Lord of hosts is his name.
36 Se algum dia cessassem essas leis perante mim - oráculo do Senhor, {somente} então cessaria a raça de Israel, de ser uma nação ante meus olhos, para sempre.	36 If these laws fail in my sight, says the Lord, then the offspring of Israel will also fail, so that they will not be a people in my sight for all time.”
37 Eis o que diz o Senhor: se algum dia os fundamentos da terra puderem ser sondados, somente então poderia eu abandonar a raça de Israel.	37 Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above are able to be measured, and if the foundations of the earth beneath can be examined, I also will cast aside all the offspring of Israel, because of all that they have done, says the Lord.
38 Dias virão - oráculo do Senhor - em que a cidade será reconstruída pelo Senhor, desde a torre de Hananeel até a porta do Ângulo.	38 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when a city will be built for the Lord from the tower of Hananel, even to the Gate of the Corner;
39 Será o cordel estendido para medir até a colina de Gareb, e voltará para Goa.	39 and the measuring line will go on even further in his sight, over the hill of Gareb, and it will encircle Goah
40 Todo o vale cheio de cadáveres e cinza, e todos os campos até a torrente de Cedron e o ângulo da porta dos Cavalos, a leste, serão bens consagrados ao Senhor. Jamais serão eles devastados, nem destruídos.	40 and the entire Valley of dead bodies and ashes, and the entire region of death, even to the torrent of Kedron, and to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east. All this will be the holy place of the Lord. It will not be rooted up, and it will not be torn down, anymore, forever.”
