Jeremias 27
1 No princípio do reinado de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, veio do SENHOR esta palavra a Jeremias, dizendo:
THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Assim me disse o SENHOR: Faz para ti amarras e jugos, e os põe sobre teu pescoço;
Proclaim you among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress [them] not: say you, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
3 E envia-os ao rei de Edom, ao rei de Moabe, ao rei dos filhos de Amom, ao rei de Tiro, e ao rei de Sidom, pelas mãos dos mensageiros que vêm a Jerusalém a Zedequias, rei de Judá.
For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
4 E manda-lhes que digam a seus senhores: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Assim direis a vossos senhores:
In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
5 Eu fiz a terra, o homem, e os animais que estão sobre a face da terra, com meu grande poder e com meu braço estendido, e a dou a quem for do meu agrado.
They shall ask the way till [they come to] Sion, for that way shall they set their face; and they shall come and flee for refuge to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten.
6 E agora dei todas estas terras na mão de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo, e até mesmo os animais do campo eu lhe dei, para que o sirvam.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds thrust them out, they caused them to wander on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
7 E todas as nações servirão a ele, a seu filho, e ao filho de seu filho, até que também venha o tempo de sua própria terra; então servirá a muitas nações e grandes reis.
All that found them consumed them: their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord: he that gathered their fathers [had] a pasture of righteousness.
8 E será que a nação e o reino que não servir a Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, e que não puser seu pescoço sob do jugo do rei de Babilônia, então com espada, com fome e com pestilência castigarei tal nação, diz o SENHOR, até que eu os consuma por meio de sua mão.
Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans, and go forth, and be as serpents before sleep.
9 E vós não deis ouvidos a vossos profetas, nem a vossos adivinhos, nem a vossos sonhos, nem a vossos videntes, nem a vossos encantadores, que vos falam, dizendo: Não servireis ao rei da Babilônia.
For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.
10 Pois eles vos profetizam mentiras, para vos afastardes de vossa terra, e para que eu vos afugente, e pereçais.
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.
11 Mas a nação que pôr seu pescoço sob o jugo do rei da Babilônia, e o servir, a essa eu deixarei ficar em seu terra, e a cultivará, e nela habitará diz o SENHOR.
Because you rejoiced, and boasted, [while] plundering mine heritage; because you exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.
12 E falei também a Zedequias, rei de Judá, conforme todas estas palavras, dizendo: Ponde vossos pescoços sob o jugo do rei da Babilônia, e servi a ele e a seu povo; então vivereis.
Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: [she is] the last of the nations, desolate,
13 Por que morreríeis, tu e teu povo, pela espada, pela fome, pela pestilência, tal como disse o SENHOR sobre a nação que não servir ao rei da Babilônia?
by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
14 Não escuteis as palavras dos profetas que vos falam, dizendo: Não servireis ao rei da Babilônia; pois eles vos profetizam mentiras.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare not your arrows,
15 Pois eu não os enviei, diz o SENHOR, e eles profetizam falsamente em meu nome, para que eu vos afugente, e pereçais, vós e os profetas que vos profetizam.
and prevail against her: her hands are weakened, her bulwarks are fallen, and her wall is broken down: for it is vengeance from God: take vengeance upon her; as she has done, do to her.
16 Também falei aos sacerdotes e a todo este povo, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR: Não escuteis as palavras de vossos profetas, que vos profetizam, dizendo: Eis que os vasos da casa do SENHOR voltarão da Babilônia em breve. Pois eles vos profetizam mentiras.
Utterly destroy seed out of Babylon, [and] him that holds a sickle in time of harvest: for fear of the Grecian sword, they shall return every one to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Não escuteis a eles; servi ao rei de Babilônia, e então vivereis; por que se tornaria esta cidade em deserto?
Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have driven him out: the king of Assyria first devoured him, and afterward this king of Babylon [has gnawed] his bones.
18 Porém se eles são profetas, e se a palavra do SENHOR é com eles, orem agora ao SENHOR dos exércitos, que os objetos de valor que restaram na casa do SENHOR, na casa do rei de Judá, e em Jerusalém, não vão para a Babilônia.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] take vengeance on the king of Babylon, and upon his land, as I took vengeance on the king of Assyria.
19 Porque assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos quanto às colunas, ao mar, às bases, e ao restante dos objetos de valor que restaram nesta cidade,
And I will restore Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and on mount Ephraim and in Galaad, and his soul shall be satisfied.
20 Que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, não tomou, quando levou cativo de Jerusalém a Babilônia a Jeconias, filho de Jeoaquim, rei de Judá, e a todos os nobres de Judá e de Jerusalém;
In those days, and at that time, they shall seek for the iniquity of Israel, and there shall be none; and for the sins of Juda, and they shall not be found: for I will be merciful to them that are left
21 Assim pois diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, quanto aos objetos de valor que restaram [na] casa do SENHOR, e [na] casa do rei de Judá, e [em] Jerusalém:
on the land, says the Lord. Go up against it roughly, and against them that dwell on it: avenge, O sword, and destroy utterly, says the Lord, and do according to all that I command you.
22 Para a Babilônia serão levados, e ali ficarão até o dia em que eu os punirei, diz o SENHOR; então depois eu os farei subir, e os restituirei a este lugar.
A sound of war, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans!
How is the hammer of the whole earth broken and crushed! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
They shall come upon you, and you shall not know it, Babylon, that you will even be taken captive: you are found and taken, because you did resist the Lord.
The Lord has opened his treasury, and brought forth the weapons of his anger: for the Lord God [has] a work in the land of the Chaldeans.
For her times are come: open you her storehouses: search her as a cave, and utterly destroy her: let there be no remnant of her.
Dry you up all her fruits, and let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, and the time of their retribution.
A voice of men fleeing and escaping from the land of Babylon, to declare to Sion the vengeance [that comes] from the Lord our God.
Summon many against Babylon, [even] every one that bends the bow: camp against her round about; let no one of her [people] escape: render to her according to her works; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has resisted the Lord, the Holy God of Israel.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her warriors shall be cast down, says the Lord.
Behold, I am against you the haughty one, says the Lord: for your day is come, and the time of your retribution.
And your pride shall fail, and fall, and there shall be no one to set it up again: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all things round about her.
Thus says the Lord; The children of Israel and the children of Juda have been oppressed: all they that have taken them captive have oppressed them together; for they would not let them go.
But their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name: he will enter into judgment with his adversaries, that he may destroy the earth;
and he will sharpen a sword against the Chaldeans, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her nobles and upon her wise men;
a sword upon her warriors, and they shall be weakened: a sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots:
a sword upon their warriors and upon the mixed people in the midst of her; and they shall be as women: a sword upon the treasures, and they shall be scattered upon her water,
and they shall be ashamed: for it is a land of graven [images]; and in the islands, where they boasted.
Therefore shall idols dwell in the islands, and the young of monsters shall dwell in it: it shall not be inhabited any more for ever.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities bordering upon them, says the Lord: no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn there.
Behold, a people comes from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the end of the earth; holding bow and dagger:
[the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy: their voices shall sound as the sea, they shall ride upon horses, prepared for war, like fire, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
The king of Babylon heard the sound of them, and his hands were enfeebled: anguish overcame him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
Behold, he shall come up as a lion from Jordan to Gaethan; for I will speedily drive them from her, and I will set all the youths against her: for who is like me? and who will resist me? and who is this shepherd who will stand before me?
Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has taken against Babylon; and his devices, which he has devised upon the Chaldeans inhabiting [it]: surely lambs of their flock shall be destroyed: surely pasture shall be cut off from them.
For at the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth shall quake, and a cry shall be heard among the nations.
