예레미야 20

1제사장 임멜의 아들 바스훌은 여호와의 집 유사장이라 그가 예레미야의 이 일 예언함을 들은지라 2이에 바스훌이 선지자 예레미야를 때리고 여호와의 집 베냐민의 윗문에 있는 착고에 채웠더니 3다음날 바스훌이 예레미야를 착고에서 놓아 주매 예레미야가 그에게 이르되 여호와께서 네 이름을 바스훌이라 아니하시고 마골밋사빕이라 하시느니라 4대저 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 보라 내가 너로 너와 네 모든 친구에게 두려움이 되게 하리니 그들이 그 원수의 칼에 엎드러질 것이요 네 눈은 그것을 볼 것이며 내가 온 유다를 바벨론 왕의 손에 붙이리니 그가 그들을 사로잡아 바벨론으로 옮겨 칼로 죽이리라 5내가 또 이 성의 모든 부와 그 모든 소득과 그 모든 귀물과 유다 왕들의 모든 보물을 그 원수의 손에 붙이리니 그들이 그것을 탈취하여 바벨론으로 가져가리라 6바스훌아 너와 네 집에 거하는 모든 자가 포로 되어 옮기우리니 네가 바벨론에 이르러 거기서 죽어 거기 묻힐 것이라 너와 네가 거짓 예언을 하여 들린 네 모든 친구도 일반이리라 하셨느니라 7여호와여 주께서 나를 권유하시므로 내가 그 권유를 받았사오며 주께서 나보다 강하사 이기셨으므로 내가 조롱거리가 되니 사람마다 종일토록 나를 조롱하나이다 8대저 내가 말할 때마다 외치며 강포와 멸망을 부르짖으오니 여호와의 말씀으로 하여 내가 종일토록 치욕과 모욕거리가 됨이니이다 9내가 다시는 여호와를 선포하지 아니하며 그 이름으로 말하지 아니하리라 하면 나의 중심이 불붙는 것 같아서 골수에 사무치니 답답하여 견딜 수 없나이다 10나는 무리의 비방과 사방의 두려움을 들었나이다 그들이 이르기를 고소하라 우리도 고소하리라 하오며 나의 친한 벗도 다 나의 타락하기를 기다리며 피차 이르기를 그가 혹시 유혹을 받으리니 우리가 그를 이기어 우리 원수를 갚자 하나이다 11그러하오나 여호와는 두려운 용사 같으시며 나와 함께하시는고로 나를 박해하는 자가 넘어지고 이기지 못할 것이오며 그들은 지혜롭게 행치 못하므로 큰 수욕을 당하오리니 그 수욕은 영영히 잊지 못할 것이니이다 12의인을 시험하사 그 폐부와 심장을 보시는 만군의 여호와여 나의 사정을 주께 아뢰었사온즉 주께서 그들에게 보수하심을 나로 보게 하옵소서 13여호와께 노래하라 너희는 여호와를 찬양하라 가난한 자의 생명을 행악자의 손에서 구원하셨음이니라 14내 생일이 저주를 받았더면, 나의 어미가 나를 생산하던 날이 복이 없었더면, 15나의 아비에게 소식을 전하여 이르기를 네가 생남하였다 하여 아비를 즐겁게 하던 자가 저주를 받았더면, 16그 사람은 여호와께서 훼파하시고 후회치 아니하신 성읍 같이 되었더면, 그로 아침에는 부르짖는 소리, 낮에는 떠드는 소리를 듣게 하였더면, 17이는 그가 나를 태에서 죽이지 아니하셨으며 나의 어미로 내 무덤이 되게 하지 아니하셨으며 그 배로 항상 부르게 하지 아니하신 연고로다 18어찌하여 내가 태에서 나와서 고생과 슬픔을 보며 나의 날을 수욕으로 보내는고

1Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 2Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house. 3On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib. 4For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. 5Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them captives, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. 6You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely. 7Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me. 8For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because Yahweh’s word is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. 9If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can’t. 10For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. 11But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten. 12But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause. 13Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers. 14Cursed is the day in which I was born: don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed. 15Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad. 16Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime; 17because he didn’t kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. 18Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

1Als Pashur, de zoon van Immer, de priester (deze nu was bestelde voorganger in het huis des HEEREN), Jeremia hoorde, diezelve woorden profeterende, 2Zo sloeg Pashur den profeet Jeremia, en hij stelde hem in de gevangenis, dewelke is in de bovenste poort van Benjamin, die aan het huis des HEEREN is. 3Maar het geschiedde des anderen daags, dat Pashur Jeremia uit de gevangenis voortbracht; toen zeide Jeremia tot hem: De HEERE noemt uw naam niet Pashur, maar Magor-missabib. 4Want zo zegt de HEERE: Zie, Ik stel u tot een schrik voor uzelven en voor al uw liefhebbers; die zullen vallen door het zwaard hunner vijanden, dat het uw ogen aanzien; en Ik zal gans Juda geven in de hand des konings van Babel, die hen naar Babel gevankelijk zal wegvoeren, en slaan hen met het zwaard. 5Ook zal Ik geven al het vermogen dezer stad, en al haar arbeid, en al haar kostelijkheid, en alle schatten der koningen van Juda, Ik zal ze geven in de hand hunner vijanden, die zullen ze roven, zullen ze nemen, en zullen ze brengen naar Babel. 6En gij, Pashur, en alle inwoners van uw huis! gijlieden zult gaan in de gevangenis; en gij zult te Babel komen, en aldaar sterven, en aldaar begraven worden, gij en al uw vrienden, denwelken gij valselijk geprofeteerd hebt. 7HEERE! Gij hebt mij overreed, en ik ben overreed geworden; Gij zijt mij te sterk geweest, en hebt overmocht; ik ben den gansen dag tot een belachen, een ieder van hen bespot mij. 8Want sinds ik spreke, roep ik uit, ik roep geweld en verstoring; omdat mij des HEEREN woord den gansen dag tot smaad en tot schimp is. 9Dies zeide ik: Ik zal Zijner niet gedenken, en niet meer in Zijn Naam spreken; maar het werd in mijn hart als een brandend vuur, besloten in mijn beenderen; en ik bemoeide mij om te verdragen, maar konde niet. 10Want ik heb gehoord de naspraak van velen, van Magor-missabib, zeggende: Geef ons te kennen, en wij zullen het te kennen geven; al mijn vredegenoten nemen acht op mijn hinking; zij zeggen: Misschien zal hij overreed worden, dan zullen wij hem overmogen, en onze wraak van hem nemen. 11Maar de HEERE is met mij als een verschrikkelijk Held; daarom zullen mijn vervolgers struikelen, en niets vermogen; zij zijn zeer beschaamd geworden, omdat zij niet verstandiglijk gehandeld hebben; het zal een eeuwige schande zijn, zij zal niet vergeten worden. 12Gij dan, o HEERE der heirscharen, Die den rechtvaardige proeft, Die de nieren en het hart ziet, laat mij Uw wraak van hen zien, want ik heb U mijn twistzaak ontdekt. 13Zingt den HEERE, prijst den HEERE; want Hij heeft de ziel des nooddruftigen uit de hand der boosdoeners verlost. 14Vervloekt zij de dag, op welken ik geboren ben; de dag, op welken mijn moeder mij gebaard heeft, zij niet gezegend! 15Vervloekt zij de man, die mijn vader geboodschapt heeft, zeggende: U is een jonge zoon geboren, verblijdende hem grotelijks! 16Ja, dezelve man zij, als de steden, die de HEERE heeft omgekeerd, en het heeft Hem niet berouwd; en hij hore in den morgenstond een geroep, en op den middagtijd een geschrei. 17Dat Hij mij niet gedood heeft van de baarmoeder af! Of mijn moeder mijn graf geweest is, of haar baarmoeder als van een, die eeuwiglijk zwanger is! 18Waarom ben ik toch uit de baarmoeder voortgekomen, om moeite en droefenis te zien, en dat mijn dagen in beschaamdheid vergaan?
