1여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 너는 유다 왕의 집에 내려가서 거기서 이를 선언하여 2이르기를 다윗의 위에 앉은 유다 왕이여 너와 네 신하와 이 문들로 들어오는 네 백성은 여호와의 말씀을 들을지니라 3여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 너희가 공평과 정의를 행하여 탈취 당한 자를 압박하는 자의 손에서 건지고 이방인과 고아와 과부를 압박하거나 학대하지 말며 이곳에서 무죄한 피를 흘리지 말라 4너희가 참으로 이 말을 준행하면 다윗의 위에 앉을 왕들과 신하들과 백성이 병거와 말을 타고 이 집 문으로 들어오게 되리라마는 5너희가 이 말을 듣지 아니하면 내가 나로 맹세하노니 이 집이 황무하리라 나 여호와의 말이니라 6나 여호와가 유다 왕의 집에 대하여 이같이 말하노라 네가 내게 길르앗 같고 레바논의 꼭대기 같으나 내가 정녕히 너로 광야와 거민이 없는 성을 만들 것이라 7내가 너 파멸할 자를 준비하리니 그들이 각기 손에 병기를 가지고 네 아름다운 백향목을 찍어 불에 던지리라 8여러 나라 사람이 이 성으로 지나며 피차 말하기를 여호와가 이 큰 성에 이같이 행함은 어찜인고 하겠고 9대답하기는 이는 그들이 자기 하나님 여호와의 언약을 버리고 다른 신들에게 절하고 그를 섬긴 연고라 하리라 하셨다 할찌니라 10너희는 죽은 자를 위하여 울지 말며 그를 위하여 애통하지 말고 잡혀간 자를 위하여 슬피 울라 그는 다시 돌아와서 그 고국을 보지 못할 것임이니라 11나 여호와가 유다 왕 요시야의 아들 곧 그 아비 요시야를 이어 왕이 되었다가 이곳에서 나간 살룸에 대하여 말하노라 그가 이곳으로 다시 돌아오지 못하고 12잡혀간 곳에서 죽으리니 이 땅을 다시 보지 못하리라 13불의로 그 집을 세우며 불공평으로 그 다락방을 지으며 그 이웃을 고용하고 그 고가를 주지 아니하는 자에게 화 있을진저 14그가 이르기를 내가 나를 위하여 광대한 집과 광활한 다락방을 지으리라 하고 자기를 위하여 창을 만들고 그것에 백향목으로 입히고 붉은 빛으로 칠하도다 15네가 백향목으로 집 짓기를 경쟁하므로 왕이 될 수 있겠느냐 네 아비가 먹으며 마시지 아니하였으며 공평과 의리를 행치 아니하였느냐 그 때에 그가 형통하였었느니라 16그는 가난한 자와 궁핍한 자를 신원하고 형통하였나니 이것이 나를 앎이 아니냐 여호와의 말이니라 17그러나 네 눈과 마음은 탐남과 무죄한 피를 흘림과 압박과 강포를 행하려 할 뿐이니라 18그러므로 나 여호와가 유다 왕 요시야의 아들 여호야김에게 대하여 이같이 말하노라 무리가 그를 위하여 슬프다 내 형제여 슬프다 내 자매여 하며 통곡하지 아니할 것이며 그를 위하여 슬프다 주여 슬프다 그 영광이여 하며 통곡하지도 아니할 것이라 19그가 끌려 예루살렘 문 밖에 던지우고 나귀 같이 매장함을 당하리라 20너는 레바논에 올라 외치며 바산에서 네 소리를 높이며 아바림에서 외치라 이는 너를 사랑하는 자가 다 멸망하였음이니라 21네가 평안할 때에 내가 네게 말하였으나 네 말이 나는 듣지 아니하리라 하였나니 네가 어려서부터 내 목소리를 청종치 아니함이 네 습관이라 22네 목자들은 다 바람에 삼키울 것이요 너를 사랑하는 자들은 사로잡혀 가리니 그 때에 네가 반드시 네 모든 악을 인하여 수치와 욕을 당하리라 23레바논에 거하여 백향목에 깃들이는 자여 여인의 해산하는 고통같은 고통이 네게 임할 때에 너의 가련함이 얼마나 심하랴 24나 여호와가 말하노라 나의 삶으로 맹세하노니 유다 왕 여호야김의 아들 너 고니야가 나의 오른손의 인장반지라 할지라도 내가 빼어 25네 생명을 찾는 자의 손과 너의 두려워하는 자의 손 곧 바벨론 왕 느부갓네살의 손과 갈대아인의 손에 줄 것이라 26내가 너와 너를 낳은 어미를 너희가 나지 아니한 다른 지방에 쫓아내리니 너희가 거기서 죽고 27너희 마음에 돌아오기를 사모하는 땅에 돌아오지 못하리라 28이 사람 고니야는 천한 파기냐 좋아하지 아니하는 그릇이냐 어찌하여 그와 그 자손이 쫓겨나서 알지 못하는 땅에 들어갔는고 29땅이여, 땅이여, 땅이여 여호와의 말을 들을지니라 30나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 너희는 이 사람이 무자하겠고 그 평생에 형통치 못할 자라 기록하라 이는 그 자손 중 형통하여 다윗의 위에 앉아 유다를 다스릴 사람이 다시는 없을 것임이니라
1Thus said Yahweh: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 2Say, Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. 3Thus says Yahweh: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place. 4For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. 5But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says Yahweh, that this house shall become a desolation. 6For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited. 7I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. 8Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has Yahweh done thus to this great city? 9Then they shall answer, Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them. 10Don’t weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. 11For thus says Yahweh touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: He shall not return there any more. 12But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more. 13Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire; 14who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious rooms, and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted with vermilion. 15Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him. 16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me? says Yahweh. 17But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. 18Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, saying Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 19He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 20Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed. 21I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice. 22The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness. 23Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail! 24As I live, says Yahweh, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there; 25and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. 27But to the land t which their soul longs to return, there shall they not return. 28Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in which no one delights? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they don’t know? 29O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word. 30Thus says Yahweh, Write you this man childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
1Alzo zegt de HEERE: Ga af in het huis des konings van Juda, en spreek aldaar dit woord. 2En zeg: Hoor het woord des HEEREN, gij koning van Juda, gij, die zit op Davids troon, gij, en uw knechten, en uw volk, die door deze poorten ingaan! 3Zo zegt de HEERE: Doet recht en gerechtigheid, en redt den beroofde uit de hand des verdrukkers; en onderdrukt den vreemdeling niet, den wees noch de weduwe; doet geen geweld en vergiet geen onschuldig bloed in deze plaats. 4Want indien gijlieden deze zaak ernstiglijk zult doen, zo zullen door de poorten van dit huis koningen ingaan, zittende den David op zijn troon, rijdende op wagens en op paarden, hij, en zijn knechten, en zijn volk. 5Indien gij daarentegen deze woorden niet zult horen, zo heb Ik bij Mij gezworen, spreekt de HEERE, dat dit huis tot een woestheid worden zal. 6Want zo zegt de HEERE van het huis des konings van Juda: Gij zijt Mij een Gilead, een hoogte van Libanon; maar zo Ik u niet zette als een woestijn en onbewoonde steden! 7Want Ik zal verdervers tegen u heiligen, elk met zijn gereedschap, die zullen uw uitgelezen cederen omhouwen, en in het vuur werpen. 8Dan zullen veel heidenen voorbij deze stad gaan, en zullen zeggen, een ieder tot zijn naaste: Waarom heeft de HEERE alzo gedaan aan deze grote stad? 9En zij zullen zeggen: Omdat zij het verbond des HEEREN, huns Gods, hebben verlaten, en hebben zich voor andere goden nedergebogen, en die gediend. 10Weent niet over den dode, en beklaagt hem niet; weent vrij over dien, die weggegaan is, want hij zal nimmermeer wederkomen, dat hij het land zijner geboorte zie. 11Want zo zegt de HEERE van Sallum, den zoon van Josia, koning van Juda, die in de plaats van zijn vader Josia regeerde, die uit deze plaats is uitgegaan: Hij zal daar nimmermeer wederkomen. 12Maar in de plaats, waarhenen zij hem gevankelijk hebben weggevoerd, zal hij sterven, en dit land zal hij niet meer zien. 13Wee dien, die zijn huis bouwt met ongerechtigheid, en zijn opperzalen met onrecht; die zijns naasten dienst om niet gebruikt, en geeft hen zijn arbeidsloon niet! 14Die daar zegt: Ik zal mij een zeer hoog huis bouwen, en doorluchtige opperzalen; en hij houwt zich vensteren uit, en het is bedekt met ceder, en aangestreken met menie. 15Zoudt gij regeren, omdat gij u mengt met den ceder? Heeft niet uw vader gegeten en gedronken, en recht en gerechtigheid gedaan, en het ging hem toen wel? 16Hij heeft de rechtzaak des ellendigen en nooddruftigen gericht, toen ging het hem wel; is dat niet Mij te kennen? spreekt de HEERE. 17Maar uw ogen en uw hart zijn niet dan op uw gierigheid, en op onschuldig bloed, om dat te vergieten, en op verdrukking en overlast, om die te doen. 18Daarom zegt de HEERE alzo van Jojakim, zoon van Josia, koning van Juda: Zij zullen hem niet beklagen: Och mijn broeder! of, och zuster! Zij zullen hem niet beklagen: Och, heer! of, och zijn majesteit! 19Met een ezelsbegrafenis zal hij begraven worden; men zal hem slepen en daarhenen werpen, verre weg van de poorten van Jeruzalem. 20Klim op den Libanon en roep, en verhef uw stem op den Basan; roep ook van de veren; maar al uw liefhebbers zijn verbroken. 21Ik sprak u aan in uw groten voorspoed, maar gij zeidet: Ik zal niet horen. Dit is uw weg van uw jeugd af, dat gij Mijner stem niet hebt gehoorzaamd. 22De wind zal al uw herders weiden, en uw liefhebbers zullen in de gevangenis gaan; dan zult gij zekerlijk beschaamd en te schande worden, vanwege al uw boosheid. 23O gij, die nu op den Libanon woont, en in de cederen nestelt! hoe begenadigd zult gij zijn, als u de smarten zullen aankomen, het wee als ener barende vrouw! 24Zo waarachtig als Ik leef, spreekt de HEERE, ofschoon Chonia, de zoon van Jojakim, den koning van Juda, een zegelring ware aan Mijn rechterhand, zo zal Ik u toch van daar wegrukken. 25En Ik zal u geven in de hand dergenen, die uw ziel zoeken, en in de hand dergenen, voor welker aangezicht gij schrikt, namelijk in de hand van Nebukadrezar, den koning van Babel, en in de hand der Chaldeen. 26En Ik zal u, en uw moeder, die u gebaard heeft, uitwerpen in een ander land, waarin gijlieden niet geboren zijt, en daar zult gij sterven. 27En in het land, naar hetwelk hun ziel verlangt om daar weder te komen, daarhenen zullen zij niet wederkomen. 28Is dan deze man Chonia een veracht, verstrooid, afgodisch beeld? Of is hij een vat, waaraan men geen lust heeft? Waarom zijn hij en zijn zaad uitgeworpen, ja, weggeworpen in een land, dat zij niet kennen? 29O land, land, land! hoor des HEEREN woord! 30Zo zegt de HEERE: Schrijft dezen zelfden man kinderloos, een man, die niet voorspoedig zal zijn in zijn dagen; want er zal niemand van zijn zaad voorspoedig zijn, zittende op den troon Davids, en heersende meer in Juda.
