Jeremias 32
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
Jeremias compra terras
32 No ano décimo do reinado de Zedequias em Judá, que era o ano décimo oitavo do reinado de Nabucodonosor na Babilônia, o Senhor Deus falou comigo. 2 Nesse tempo, o exército do rei da Babilônia cercava Jerusalém, e eu estava preso no pátio do palácio real. 3 O rei Zedequias havia mandado me prender, acusando-me de anunciar que o Senhor tinha dito o seguinte: “Eu entregarei esta cidade ao rei da Babilônia, e ele a conquistará. 4 O rei Zedequias não escapará dos babilônios, mas será entregue ao rei deles. Zedequias verá o rei da Babilônia cara a cara e falará com ele pessoalmente. 5 Será levado para a Babilônia e ficará ali até que eu cuide dele. Mesmo que lute contra os babilônios, não poderá vencer. Eu, o Senhor, estou falando.”
6 O Senhor Deus me disse 7 que Hanamel, filho do meu tio Salum, ia me procurar e pedir que eu comprasse as terras dele em Anatote. Isso porque sou o seu parente mais chegado e tenho o direito de comprá-las. 8 Então, exatamente como o Senhor tinha dito, o meu primo Hanamel me procurou no pátio da guarda e me disse:
— Compre as minhas terras que ficam em Anatote, no território de Benjamim. Você é o meu parente mais chegado e por isso tem o direito de comprar essas terras e ficar com elas.
Aí entendi que era Deus que estava me mandando fazer isso. 9 Assim comprei as terras de Hanamel e pesei o dinheiro para ele. O preço foi de duzentos gramas de prata. 10 Assinei a escritura e fechei-a com um selo. Depois, chamei testemunhas e pesei o dinheiro numa balança. 11 Então peguei a cópia fechada com o selo, a qual tinha o contrato e as condições, e também a cópia aberta 12 e dei as duas a Baruque, filho de Nerias e neto de Maaseias. Fiz isso na frente de Hanamel, das testemunhas que assinaram a escritura e de todos os judeus que estavam sentados no pátio. 13 Diante de todos eles, eu disse a Baruque:
14 — O Senhor Todo-Poderoso, o Deus de Israel, mandou que você pegue estas escrituras de compra, tanto a cópia fechada com o selo como a aberta, e as coloque num pote de barro para que durem muitos anos. 15 O Senhor Todo-Poderoso, o Deus de Israel, disse que neste país ainda serão compradas casas, terras e plantações de uvas.
A oração de Jeremias
16 Depois que dei a Baruque, filho de Nerias, a escritura de compra, eu orei assim:
17 — Ó Senhor, meu Deus, com o teu grande poder e com a tua força, fizeste o céu e a terra. Nada é impossível para ti. 18 Tens sido bondoso para milhares de pessoas, mas também tens castigado os filhos por causa dos pecados dos seus pais. Tu és o grande e poderoso Deus; o teu nome é Senhor, o Todo-Poderoso. 19 Tu fazes grandes planos e coisas maravilhosas. Tu vês tudo o que as pessoas fazem e tratas cada uma de acordo com o seu modo de agir e de viver. 20 Fizeste milagres e maravilhas na terra do Egito e continuas a fazer o mesmo até hoje, tanto em Israel como em todas as outras nações. Por isso, agora és conhecido em toda parte. 21 Tiraste o povo de Israel da terra do Egito por meio do teu poder e da tua força e por meio de milagres e maravilhas que encheram de terror os nossos inimigos. 22 Deste aos israelitas esta terra boa e rica, como havias prometido aos seus antepassados. 23 Mas, quando eles entraram nesta terra e tomaram posse dela, não obedeceram aos teus mandamentos, nem viveram de acordo com os teus ensinamentos; não fizeram nada daquilo que havias mandado. Por isso, fizeste cair sobre eles toda esta desgraça.
24 — Os babilônios construíram rampas de terra em volta das muralhas da cidade a fim de invadi-la e agora estão atacando. A guerra, a fome e as doenças vão fazer a cidade cair nas mãos deles. Como vês, tudo o que disseste aconteceu. 25 No entanto, Senhor, meu Deus, tu me mandaste comprar terras na presença de testemunhas, apesar de os babilônios estarem quase tomando a cidade.
A resposta de Deus
26 Então o Senhor me respondeu:
27 — Eu sou o Senhor, o Deus de toda a humanidade. Nada é impossível para mim. 28 Por isso, vou entregar esta cidade ao rei Nabucodonosor, da Babilônia, e ao seu exército, e eles a tomarão. 29 Os babilônios, que estão atacando, vão entrar na cidade e pôr fogo nela. Eles queimarão as casas onde o povo me tem provocado queimando incenso ao deus Baal nos terraços e derramando bebidas como oferta a outros deuses. 30 Desde o princípio, o povo de Israel e o povo de Judá só têm feito coisas más. As suas maldades têm provocado a minha ira. 31 Esta cidade tem provocado a minha ira e o meu furor desde o dia em que foi construída. Eu resolvi acabar com ela 32 por causa de todas as maldades que têm sido feitas pelo povo de Israel e pelo povo de Judá, pelos seus reis e autoridades, pelos seus sacerdotes e profetas e pelo povo de Jerusalém. 33 Eles me viraram as costas. E, embora eu continuasse ensinando essa gente, eles não escutaram, não aprenderam a lição, nem deram atenção às ameaças. 34 Até ídolos horrorosos eles colocaram no Templo construído em meu nome e o profanaram. 35 No vale de Ben-Hinom, eles construíram altares ao deus Baal, para ali queimar os seus filhos e as suas filhas em honra do deus Moloque. Eu não lhes dei ordem para isso e nunca pensei que eles fizessem uma coisa tão nojenta como essa e levassem o povo de Judá a pecar.
Promessa de esperança
36 Depois, o Senhor, o Deus de Israel, disse o seguinte:
— Jeremias, o povo anda dizendo que a guerra, a fome e as doenças vão fazer esta cidade cair nas mãos do rei da Babilônia. Agora, escute o que vou dizer! 37 Vou ajuntar aqueles que na minha ira, cólera e furor eu espalhei. Eu os trarei de volta a este lugar e os deixarei viver aqui em segurança. 38 Eles serão o meu povo, e eu serei o seu Deus. 39 Eu lhes darei este único propósito na vida: temer sempre a mim, para o próprio bem deles e dos seus descendentes. 40 Vou fazer com eles esta aliança eterna: nunca deixarei de lhes fazer o bem; farei com que me respeitem com sinceridade para que nunca se afastem de mim. 41 Terei prazer em lhes fazer o bem e com todo o meu coração e com toda a minha alma deixarei que fiquem morando nesta terra.
42 — Assim como eu trouxe esta desgraça a este povo, também lhe darei todas as boas coisas que prometi. 43 Jeremias, o povo anda dizendo que esta terra vai ficar como um deserto, sem gente e sem animais, e que será entregue aos babilônios. Mas eu digo que neste país ainda se comprarão terras. 44 As pessoas vão comprar, assinar escrituras, fechá-las com selos e chamar testemunhas. Isso acontecerá nas terras da tribo de Benjamim, nos povoados em volta de Jerusalém, nas cidades de Judá e nas cidades das montanhas, das planícies e da região sul. Eu trarei o povo de volta ao seu país. Eu, o Senhor, falei.
Jeremiah 32
New King James Version
Jeremiah Buys a Field
32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord (A)in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up (B)in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you (C)prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: (D)“Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4 and Zedekiah king of Judah (E)shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him [a]face to face, and see him (F)eye to eye; 5 then he shall (G)lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall be (H)until I visit him,” says the Lord; (I)“though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed” ’?”
6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the (J)right of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’ 8 Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. 9 So I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and (K)weighed out to him the money—seventeen shekels of silver. 10 And I signed the [b]deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales. 11 So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; 12 and I gave the purchase deed to (L)Baruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the (M)witnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
13 “Then I charged (N)Baruch before them, saying, 14 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take these deeds, both this purchase deed which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.” 15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards shall be (O)possessed again in this land.” ’
Jeremiah Prays for Understanding
16 “Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, (P)You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. (Q)There is nothing too [c]hard for You. 18 You show (R)lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them—the Great, (S)the Mighty God, whose name is (T)the Lord of hosts. 19 You are (U)great in counsel and mighty in [d]work, for Your (V)eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, (W)to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. 20 You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, to this day, and in Israel and among other men; and You have made Yourself (X)a name, as it is this day. 21 You (Y)have brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 You have given them this land, of which You swore to their fathers to give them—(Z)“a land flowing with milk and honey.” 23 And they came in and took possession of it, but (AA)they have not obeyed Your voice or walked in Your law. They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have caused all this calamity to come upon them.
24 ‘Look, the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it; and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of (AB)the sword and famine and pestilence. What You have spoken has happened; there You see it! 25 And You have said to me, O Lord God, “Buy the field for money, and take witnesses”!—yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
God’s Assurance of the People’s Return
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the (AC)God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? 28 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it. 29 And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and (AD)set fire to this city and burn it, with the houses (AE)on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger; 30 because the children of Israel and the children of Judah (AF)have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with the work of their hands,’ says the Lord. 31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; (AG)so I will remove it from before My face 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger—(AH)they, their kings, their princes, their priests, (AI)their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 And they have turned to Me the (AJ)back, and not the face; though I taught them, (AK)rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction. 34 But they (AL)set their abominations in [e]the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 35 And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to (AM)cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to (AN)Molech, (AO)which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.’
36 “Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: 37 Behold, I will (AP)gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them (AQ)to dwell safely. 38 They shall be (AR)My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will (AS)give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And (AT)I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but (AU)I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, (AV)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and (AW)I will [f]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
42 “For thus says the Lord: (AX)‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43 And fields will be bought in this land (AY)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” 44 Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in (AZ)the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the [g]lowland, and in the cities of the [h]South; for (BA)I will cause their captives to return,’ says the Lord.”

English Standard Version
Jeremiah Buys a Field During the Siege
32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord (A)in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, (B)which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet (C)was shut up in (D)the court of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying, “Why do you prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: (E)Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it; 4 (F)Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, (G)but shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. 5 And (H)he shall take Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall remain until I visit him, declares the Lord. (I)Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed’?”
6 Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: 7 Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, (J)‘Buy my field that is at (K)Anathoth, (L)for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.’ 8 Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in (M)the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Buy my field that is at (N)Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
9 “And I bought the field at (O)Anathoth from Hanamel my cousin, and (P)weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. 10 (Q)I signed the deed, (R)sealed it, (S)got witnesses, and (T)weighed the money on scales. 11 Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions and the open copy. 12 And I gave the deed of purchase to (U)Baruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of (V)the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in (W)the court of the guard. 13 I charged (X)Baruch in their presence, saying, 14 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for a long time. 15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and (Y)fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.’
Jeremiah Prays for Understanding
16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to (Z)Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is (AA)you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by (AB)your outstretched arm! (AC)Nothing is too hard for you. 18 (AD)You show steadfast love to thousands, (AE)but you repay the guilt of fathers (AF)to their children after them, O great and (AG)mighty God, whose name is the (AH)Lord of hosts, 19 (AI)great in counsel and (AJ)mighty in deed, (AK)whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, (AL)rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 20 You have shown (AM)signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, (AN)and have made a name for yourself, as at this day. 21 (AO)You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and (AP)outstretched arm, (AQ)and with great terror. 22 And you gave them this land, (AR)which you swore to their fathers to give them, (AS)a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 And they entered and took possession of it. (AT)But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them. 24 Behold, (AU)the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and (AV)because of sword and famine and pestilence (AW)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. 25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, (AX)“Buy the field for money (AY)and get witnesses”—though (AZ)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’”
26 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, (BA)the God of all flesh. (BB)Is anything too hard for me? 28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: (BC)Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. 29 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city (BD)shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, (BE)with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal (BF)and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, (BG)to provoke me to anger. 30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight (BH)from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but (BI)provoke me to anger (BJ)by the work of their hands, declares the Lord. 31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, (BK)so that I will remove it from my sight 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—(BL)their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 (BM)They have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them (BN)persistently, they have not listened (BO)to receive instruction. 34 They set up (BP)their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal (BQ)in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, (BR)to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, (BS)though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do (BT)this abomination, (BU)to cause Judah to sin.
They Shall Be My People; I Will Be Their God
36 “Now therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, (BV)‘It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence’: 37 (BW)Behold, I will gather them from all the countries (BX)to which I drove them in (BY)my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, (BZ)and I will make them dwell in safety. 38 (CA)And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 39 (CB)I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, (CC)for their own good and the good of their children after them. 40 (CD)I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. (CE)And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. 41 (CF)I will rejoice in doing them good, (CG)and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
42 “For thus says the Lord: (CH)Just as I have brought all this great disaster upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise them. 43 (CI)Fields shall be bought in this land (CJ)of which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; (CK)it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ 44 Fields shall be bought for money, and (CL)deeds shall be signed and (CM)sealed and (CN)witnessed, (CO)in the land of Benjamin, (CP)in the places about Jerusalem, (CQ)and in the cities of Judah, (CR)in the cities of the hill country, (CS)in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb; for (CT)I will restore their fortunes, declares the Lord.”
