Jeremias 43

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Assim que Jeremias acabou de dizer ao povo o que o Senhor lhe tinha encarregado de transmitir,	1 Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
2 Azarias, filho de Osaías, Joanã, filho de Carée, e todos aqueles orgulhosos exclamaram: São mentiras o que proferes. Não te deu o Senhor, nosso Deus, o encargo de nos dizer que não fôssemos morar no Egito.	2 Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
3 É Baruc, filho de Néria, que te lança contra nós com o fim de nos entregar aos caldeus para a morte e para a deportação à Babilônia.	3 Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”
4 E assim Joanã, filho de Carée, os chefes e os sobreviventes do povo mostraram-se surdos à voz do Senhor que lhes ordenara permanecerem em Judá.	4 And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.
5 Joanã, filho de Carée, e os chefes conduziram os sobreviventes judeus que haviam regressado dos países em que se tinham dispersado, a fim de habitarem novamente na terra de Judá.	5 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
6 Eram homens, mulheres e crianças, as princesas reais, todos os que Nabuzardã, chefe dos guardas havia deixado junto de Godolias, filho de Aicão, filho de Safã, entre eles o profeta Jeremias e Baruc, filho de Néria.	6 men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
7 Desobedecendo, assim, à voz do Senhor, partiram para o Egito e alcançaram Táfnis.	7 And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Em Táfnis foi dirigida a Jeremias a palavra do Senhor nestes termos:	8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
9 toma em tuas mãos pedras bem grandes e, ante os olhos dos judeus, introduze-as na calçada em frente à porta do palácio do faraó, em Táfnis.	9 “Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 E, em seguida, lhes dirás: Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: vou mandar chamar aqui meu servo Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia; colocar-lhe-ei o trono sobre as pedras introduzidas neste lugar, e sobre elas estenderá ele também o seu tapete.	10 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.
11 Ele virá aqui e ferirá o Egito. O que é para a morte, à morte! O que é para o cativeiro, ao cativeiro! O que é para a espada, à espada!	11 And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.
12 Lançará fogo aos templos dos deuses do Egito, e os queimará, levando cativos {os seus ídolos}. Despojará o Egito, qual pastor a limpar seu manto, e regressará triunfante.	12 And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.
13 E destruirá os obeliscos do templo do Sol, no Egito, e entregará às chamas todos os templos dos seus deuses.	13 And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
