Jeremiah 17
1 [Yahweh said, “It is as though a list of] the sins [committed by the people of] Judah is engraved with an iron chisel, or engraved using the fine point of a very hard stone, on the altars [where they worship idols]. And [it is as though] this list is engraved on their inner beings!
O pecado de Judá está escrito com cinzel de ferro, com ponta de diamante; está esculpido na tábua de seu coração, e nas pontas de vossos altares;
2 [Even] their children are happy to go to the altars [to worship their gods], and to the poles [that represent the goddess] Asherah [at which their parents worshiped], shrines that are underneath all the big trees and on [all] the high hills.
Enquanto seus filhos se lembram de seus altares e de seus bosques, junto às árvores verdes, sobre os altos morros.
3 So, I will allow your enemies to capture [Zion], your holy hill, and all your wealth and your (treasures/valuable things), and [even] the shrines on all those hills, because of the sins that you people have committed throughout your land.
Ó minha montanha no campo! Tua riqueza e todos os teus tesouros darei como despojo por causa do pecado de teus altos em todos teus limites.
4 The [wonderful] land that I gave to you will no longer belong to you. I will tell your enemies to take you to a land that you do not know about, and you will become their slaves. [I will do that] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] a fire that will burn forever.”
Assim por causa de ti deixarás de ter a herança que eu te dei, e te farei servir a teus inimigos em uma terra que não conheces; porque acendestes fogo em minha ira, que arderá para sempre.
5 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “[I] will curse/condemn those who trust in human beings [to help them], those who rely on their own strength and turn away from me.
Assim diz o SENHOR: Maldito o homem que confia no homem, e põe sua confiança na força humana, ) e seu coração se afasta do SENHOR;
6 They are like [dry] bushes in the desert, they are people who will not experience any good things. Those people will live in the barren desert in a salty area, where nothing grows.
Pois será como um arbusto no deserto, e não sente quando vier o bem; ao invés disso morará nas securas no deserto, em terra salgada e inabitável.
7 But I am pleased with those who trust in [me], Yahweh, and who confidently expect [me to take care of them].
Bendito o homem que confia no SENHOR, cuja confiança é o SENHOR;
8 Those people are like [SIM] fruit trees that have been planted along a riverbank, trees that have roots that go down into the [wet ground beside] the water. They are trees whose leaves remain green when it becomes hot, trees that continue to bear fruit when there are many months in which there is no rain.
Porque ele será como a árvore plantada junto a águas, que estende suas raízes junto à corrente; não tem preocupação quando vier o calor, e sua folha permanece verde; e no ano de seca não se cansa, nem deixa de dar fruto.
9 Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful, and you cannot change that. It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.
O coração é mais enganoso que todas as coisas, e perverso; quem pode conhecê-lo?
10 But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being, and I examine what they are thinking. I will give all people rewards, what they deserve for what they have done.”
Eu, o SENHOR, que examino o coração, e provo os sentimentos, para dar a cada um conforme seus caminhos, conforme o fruto de suas ações.
11 [I, Jeremiah, agree, because I know that] people who become rich by doing things that are unjust are like birds that hatch eggs that they (did not lay/stole from another nest). So, when those people have lived only half of the years [that they expect to live], their wealth will disappear. Then [other people will realize that] those rich people have been foolish.
[Como] a perdiz que choca [os ovos] que não pôs, [assim] é o que junta riquezas, mas não com justiça; no meio de seus dias ele deixará de tê-las, e em seu fim ele será tolo.
12 Yahweh, your temple is [like] a glorious throne that is still on a high hill.
Trono de glória, elevado desde o princípio, é o lugar de nosso santuário.
13 You are the one whom [we] Israeli people confidently expect [to bless us], and all those who turn away from you will be disgraced. Their names will be written [only] in the dust, [and will soon disappear], because they have abandoned you, [who are like] [MET] a fountain where people obtain fresh water.
Ó SENHOR, esperança de Israel! Todos os que te abandonam serão envergonhados; e os que de mim se afastam, serão escritos no chão; pois abandonaram ao SENHOR, a fonte de águas vivas.
14 Yahweh, [please] heal me, because [if you heal me], I will truly be healed. [If you] rescue me, I will truly be safe, because you are the [only] one whom I praise.
Sara-me, ó SENHOR, e serei sarado; salva-me, e serei salvo; pois tu és meu louvor.
15 People often ridicule me and say, “You tell us messages that you say came from Yahweh, but (why have the things that you predicted not happened?/those predictions have not come true!)” [RHQ]
Eis que eles me dizem: Onde está a palavra do SENHOR? Cumpra-se ela agora!
16 Yahweh, you [appointed me to take care of your people like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; I have not abandoned that work, and you know that I have not [previously] wanted this time of disaster [to come to people who ridicule me]. And you know everything that I have said [MTY] [to your people].
Mas eu não me apressei para deixar de ser ser pastor após ti, nem desejei o dia de calamidade, tu o sabes. O que saiu de minha boca foi em tua presença.
17 Do not cause me to be terrified! When disasters come/occur, you are the one to whom I will go to be safe.
Não sejas tu assombro para mim; tu és minha esperança no dia mal.
18 [So now], cause those who (persecute me/cause me to suffer) to be ashamed and dismayed, but do not [do things to me that will] cause me to be ashamed and dismayed. Cause them to be terrified! Do to them many things that will completely destroy them!
Envergonhem-se os que me perseguem, e eu não me envergonhe; assombre-se eles, e eu não me assombre: traze sobre eles o dia mal, e destrói-os com destruição dobrada.
19 This is what Yahweh said to me: “Go to the city gates in Jerusalem. [First] go to the gate where the kings of Judah go in and out of the city, and [then] go to each of the [other] gates.
Assim me disse o SENHOR: Vai, e põe-te à porta dos filhos do povo, pela qual entram e saem os reis de Judá, e a todas as portas de Jerusalém,
20 Say to the people [at each gate], ‘You kings of Judah and everyone [else] who is living in Jerusalem and all [you other people of] Judah who enter these gates, listen to this message from Yahweh!
E dize-lhes: Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, vós reis de Judá, e todo Judá, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém que entrais por esta portas;
21 He says, “Listen to this warning carefully! [Stop doing work] on (Sabbath/our rest) days! Stop carrying loads through these gates [on those days]!
Assim diz o SENHOR: Guardai-vos por vossas vidas, e não tragais carga no dia do sábado, para fazê-las entrar pelas portas de Jerusalém;
22 Do not carry loads out of your houses or do any [other] work on Sabbath days! Instead, cause Sabbath days to be (holy/set apart for me). I commanded your ancestors to do that,
Nem tireis carga de vossas casas no dia do sábado, nem façais obra alguma; ao invés disso, santificai o dia do sábado, assim como mandei a vossos pais;
23 but they did not listen to me or obey me. When I did things to correct them, they stubbornly [IDM] refused to pay attention to what I said or to accept it.
Porém eles não deram ouvidos, nem escutaram; ao invés disso, tornaram-se teimosos, ) para não ouvirem, nem receberem correção.
24 But I say that if you obey me, and if you do not carry loads through these gates [on Sabbath days] or do any other work on Sabbath days, and if you dedicate the Sabbath days to me,
Será, pois, se vós me ouvirdes cuidadosamente, diz o SENHOR, não fazendo entrar carga pelas portas desta cidade no dia do sábado, e santificardes o dia do sábado, não fazendo nele nenhuma obra;
25 kings of Judah [MTY] and [their] officials will [continue to] go in and out of these gates. There will [always] be someone who is a descendant of [MTY] [King] David ruling [here] [MTY] in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates, riding in chariots and on horses, and there will be people living in this city forever.
Então entrarão pelas portas desta cidade reis e os príncipes que se sentem sobre o trono de Davi, [montados] em carros e em cavalos; eles e seus príncipes, e os homens de Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém; e esta cidade será habitada para sempre.
26 And people will come [to Jerusalem] bringing offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings. They will bring to the temple grain offerings and incense and offerings to thank [me]. People will bring those offerings from the towns in Judah and the villages near Jerusalem and from the land [where the tribe] of Benjamin [lives] and from the western foothills and from the desert in the south.
E [pessoas] virão das cidades de Judá, dos arredores de Jerusalém, da terra de Benjamim, dos campos, do monte, e do Negueve, trazendo holocaustos, sacrifícios, ofertas de alimento e incensos, e trazendo sacrifícios de louvor à casa do SENHOR.
27 But if you do not pay attention to what I say, and if you refuse to dedicate the Sabbath days to me, and if you [continue to] carry loads through these gates into the city on Sabbath days, I will burn these gates completely. The fire will spread to the palaces, and no one will be able to put out that fire.”’”
Porém se não me ouvirdes para santificardes o dia do sábado, e para não trazerdes carga nem fazê-la entrar pelas portas de Jerusalém no dia de sábado, eu acenderei fogo em suas portas, que consumirá os palácios de Jerusalém, e não se apagará.
