1 T endo Jeremias acabado de falar a todo o povo todas as palavras do Senhor seu Deus, aquelas palavras com as quais o Senhor seu Deus lho havia enviado,

When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

2 e ntão falaram Azarias, filho de Hosaías, e Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os homens soberbos, dizendo a Jeremias: Tu dizes mentiras; o Senhor nosso Deus não te enviou a dizer: Não entreis no Egito para ali peregrinardes;

then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, You shall not go into Egypt to live there;

3 m as Baruque, filho de Nerias, é que te incita contra nós, para nos entregar na mão dos caldeus, para eles nos matarem, ou para nos levarem cativos para Babilônia.

but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.

4 N ão obedeceu pois Joanã, filho de Careá, nem nenhum de todos os príncipes dos exércitos, nem o povo todo, ã voz do Senhor, para ficarem na terra de Judá.

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.

5 M as Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os chefes das forças tomaram a todo o resto de Judá, que havia voltado dentre todas as nações, para onde haviam sido arrojados, com o fim de peregrinarem na terra de Judá;

But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah;

6 a os homens,

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

7 e entraram na terra do Egito; pois não obedeceram ã voz do Senhor; assim vieram até Tapanes.

and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice: and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 E ntão veio a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, em Tapanes, dizendo:

Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 T oma na tua mão pedras grandes, e esconde-as com barro no pavimento que está ã entrada da casa de Faraó em Tapanes, ã vista dos homens de Judá;

Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

10 e dize-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo, e porei o seu trono sobre estas pedras que escondi; e ele estenderá o seu pavilhão real sobre elas.

and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 V irá, e ferirá a terra do Egito, entregando ã morte quem é para a morte, ao cativeiro quem é para o cativeiro, e ã espada.

He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

12 E lançarei fogo

I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go out from there in peace.

13 E quebrará as colunas de Bete-Semes, que está na terra do Egito; e as casas dos deuses do Egito queimará a fogo.

He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
