Jeremias 39

Nabucodonosor toma a Jerusalém e livra a Jeremias

1 Quando Jerusalém foi tomada *Jr 52.4;2Rs 25.1-12;Ez 24.1-2(no nono ano de Zedequias, rei de Judá, no décimo mês, vieram Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e todo o seu exército contra Jerusalém e a sitiaram; 2 no undécimo ano de Zedequias, no quarto mês, aos nove dias do mês, fez-se *Jr 52.7;2Rs 25.4uma brecha na cidade), 3 entraram todos os príncipes do rei de Babilônia, e sentaram-se *Jr 21.4na porta do meio: *Jr 39.13Nergal-Sarezer, Sangar-Nebo, Sarsequim, Rabe-Saris, Nergal-Sarezer, Rabe-Mague, juntamente com todo o resto dos príncipes do rei de Babilônia.

4 Quando Zedequias, rei de Judá, e todos os homens de guerra os viram, *Jr 52.7;2Rs 25.4;Is 30.15-16;Am 2.14fugiram, e de noite saíram da cidade, pelo caminho do jardim do rei, pela porta *2Cr 32.5entre os dois muros. Zedequias saiu pelo caminho da Arabá. 5 Porém o exército dos *Jr 32.4-5;38.18,23;52.8;Lm 4.20caldeus os perseguiu, e alcançou a Zedequias nas *Js 4.13;5.10campinas de Jericó; apoderando-se dele, levaram-no a Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, a *Jr 52.9,26-27Ribla na terra de Hamate, e o rei *Jr 32.4o sentenciou. 6 O *Jr 52.10;2Rs 25.7rei de Babilônia matou em Ribla os filhos de Zedequias *Dt 28.34diante dos seus olhos; também matou o rei de Babilônia a todos os *Jr 21.7;24.8-10;34.19-21príncipes de Judá. 7 *Jr 52.11;2Rs 25.7;Ez 12.13Cegou os olhos de Zedequias e o atou com *Jz 16.21grilhões para o levar a *Jr 32.5Babilônia. 8 Os caldeus *Jr 21.10;52.13incendiaram a casa do rei, e as casas do povo, e *Jr 52.14;2Rs 25.10;Ne 1.3derribaram os muros de Jerusalém. 9 Então *Jr 24.8o resto do povo que havia ficado na cidade, e *Jr 38.19;52.15os desertores que haviam passado para ele, e o resto do povo que havia ficado, *Jr 39.13;Jr 40.1;52.12-16,26;2Rs 25.11,20Nebuzaradã, *Gn 37.36capitão da guarda, levou-os cativos para Babilônia. 10 *Jr 52.16;2Rs 25.12Dos pobres dentre o povo, porém, que não tinham coisa alguma, Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, deixou-os ficar na terra de Judá, e ao mesmo tempo deu-lhes vinhas e campos.

11 Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, ordenou a Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, acerca de *Jr 1.8;15.20-21;Jó 5.15-16;At 24.23Jeremias, dizendo: 12 Toma-o, e trata-o bem, *Sl 105.14-15;Pv 16.7;21.1;1Pe 3.13e não lhe faças mal algum; mas faze-lhe como ele te disser. 13 Enviaram Nebuzaradã, capitão da guarda, e Nebus-Hasbã, Rabe-Saris, e Nergal-Sarezer, *Jr 39.3Rabe-Mague, e todos os magnates do rei de Babilônia; 14 sim enviaram, e *Jr 38.28;40.1-6tiraram do pátio da guarda a Jeremias, e entregaram-no a Gedalias, filho de *Jr 26.24;2Rs 22.12,14;2Cr 34.20Aicão, filho de Safã, para que o levasse para casa; assim habitou entre o povo.

15 Ora veio a palavra de Jeová a Jeremias, quando Jeremias estava *Jr 38.28encarcerado no pátio da guarda, dizendo: 16 Vai, e dize a *Jr 38.7Ebede-Meleque o etíope: Assim diz Jeová dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei as minhas palavras sobre esta cidade *Jr 21.10;Dn 9.12;Zc 1.6para mal, e não para bem; e cumprir-se-ão *Sl 91.8-9diante de ti naquele dia. 17 Mas *Sl 41.1-2;50.15livrar-te-ei naquele dia, diz Jeová; e não serás entregue nas mãos dos *Jr 38.1,9homens, a quem temes. 18 Pois certamente te salvarei, e não cairás à espada, mas a *Jr 21.9;38.2;45.5tua vida te será por despojo; porque *Jr 17.7-8;Sl 34.22puseste a tua confiança em mim, diz Jeová.

1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. 2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. 3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. 5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.*39.5 gave…: Heb. spake with him judgments 6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.*39.7 with…: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters

8 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. 9 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.*39.9 captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen 10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.*39.10 captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen*39.10 at the…: Heb. in that day

11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,*39.11 to: Heb. by the hand of*39.11 captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen 12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.*39.12 look…: Heb. set thine eyes upon him 13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;*39.13 captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen 14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. 17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. 18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
