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, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city. 3 All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. 4 When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him. 6 Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah. 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

8 The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. 9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained. 10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying, 12 "Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you."

13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon 14 sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.

15 Now Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 16 "Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: "Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day. 17 But I will deliver you in that day," says Yahweh; "and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me," says Yahweh.’"
