Jeremiah 11
1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
A palavra que veio a Jeremias, da parte do Senhor, dizendo:
2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
Ouvi as palavras deste concerto, e falai aos homens de Judá, e aos habitantes de Jerusalém.
3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
Dize-lhes pois: Assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Maldito o homem que não escutar as palavras deste concerto,
4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
Que ordenei a vossos pais no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egito, da fornalha de ferro, dizendo: dai ouvidos à minha voz, e fazei conforme tudo quanto vos mando; e vós me sereis a mim por povo, e eu vos serei a vós por Deus.
5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
Para que confirme o juramento que jurei a vossos pais de dar-lhes uma terra que manasse leite e mel, como é neste dia. Então eu respondi, e disse: amém, ó Senhor.
6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
E disse-me o Senhor: Apregoa todas estas palavras nas cidades de Judá, e nas ruas de Jerusalém, dizendo: Ouvi as palavras deste concerto, e fazei-as.
7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
Porque deveras protestei a vossos pais, no dia em que os tirei da terra do Egito, até ao dia de hoje, madrugando, e protestando, e dizendo: dai ouvidos à minha voz.
8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
Porém não ouviram, nem inclinaram os seus ouvidos, antes andaram cada um conforme o propósito do seu coração malvado: pelo que trouxe sobre eles todas as palavras deste concerto que lhes mandei que fizessem porém as não fizeram.
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
Disse-me mais o Senhor: Uma conjuração se achou entre os homens de Judá, entre os habitantes de Jerusalém.
10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
Tornaram às maldades de seus primeiros pais, que não quizeram ouvir as minhas palavras; e eles andaram após deuses alheios para os servir: a casa de Israel e a casa de Judá quebrantaram o meu concerto, que tinha feito com seus pais.
11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre eles, de que não poderão escapar, e clamarão a mim e eu não os ouvirei.
12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
Então irão as cidades de Judá e os habitantes de Jerusalém e clamarão aos deuses a quem eles queimaram incenso, porém de nenhuma sorte os livrarão no tempo do seu mal.
13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
Porque, segundo o número das tuas cidades, foram os teus deuses, ó Judá! e, segundo o número das ruas de Jerusalém, pusestes altares à impudência, altares para queimares incenso a Baal.
14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
Tu, pois, não ores por este povo, nem levantes por eles clamor nem oração; porque não os ouvirei no tempo em que eles clamarem a mim, por causa do seu mal
15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
Que tem o meu amado na minha casa que fazer? pois muitos fazem nela grande abominação e já as carnes santas se desviaram de ti: quando tu fazes mal, então andas saltando de prazer.
16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
Chamou o Senhor o teu nome oliveira verde, formosa por especiosos frutos, porém agora à voz dum grande tumulto acendeu fogo ao redor dela, e se quebraram os seus ramos.
17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
Porque o Senhor dos exércitos, que te plantou, pronunciou contra ti o mal, pela maldade da casa de Israel e da casa de Judá, que fizeram entre si mesmos, para me provocarem à ira, queimando incenso a Baal.
18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
E o Senhor mo fez saber, e assim o soube: então me fizeste ver as suas ações.
19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
E eu era como um cordeiro, como um boi que levam à matança; porque não sabia que pensavam contra mim pensamentos, dizendo: Destruamos a árvore com o seu fruto, e cortemo-lo da terra dos viventes, e não haja mais memória do seu nome.
20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Mas, ó Senhor dos exércitos, justo Juiz, que provas os rins e o coração, veja eu a vingança que tomarás deles; pois a ti descobri a minha causa.
21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor acerca dos homens de Anathoth, que procuram a tua morte, dizendo: Não profetizes no nome do Senhor, para que não morras às nossas mãos.
22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Eis que fareis visitação sobre eles: os mancebos morrerão à espada, os seus filhos e as suas filhas morrerão de fome
23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
E eles não terão um resto, porque farei vir o mal sobre os homens de Anathoth, no ano da sua visitação.
