1유다 왕 시드기야의 제십년 곧 느부갓네살의 제십팔년에 여호와의 말씀이 예레미야에게 임하니라 2때에 바벨론 군대는 예루살렘을 에워싸고 선지자 예레미야는 유다 왕의 궁중에 있는 시위대 뜰에 갇혔으니 3이는 그가 예언하기를 여호와의 말씀에 보라 내가 이 성을 바벨론 왕의 손에 붙이리니 그가 취할 것이며 유다 왕 시드기야는 갈대아 인의 손에서 벗어나지 못하고 반드시 바벨론 왕의 손에 붙이운 바 되리니 입이 입을 대하여 말하고 눈이 서로 볼 것이며 4그가 시드기야를 바벨론으로 끌어가리니 시드기야가 나의 권고할 때까지 거기 있으리라 나 여호와가 말하노라 5너희가 갈대아 인과 싸울지라도 승리치 못하리라 하셨다 하였더니 유다 왕 시드기야가 가로되 네가 어찌 이같이 예언하였느뇨 하고 그를 가두었음이었더라 6예레미야가 가로되 여호와의 말씀이 내게 임하였느니라 이르시기를 7보라 네 숙부 살룸의 아들 하나멜이 네게 와서 말하기를 너는 아나돗에 있는 내 밭을 사라 이 기업을 무를 권리가 네게 있느니라 하리라 하시더니 8여호와의 말씀 같이 나의 숙부의 아들 하나멜이 시위대 뜰 안 내게로 와서 이르되 청하노니 너는 베냐민 땅 아나돗에 있는 나의 밭을 사라 기업의 상속권이 네게 있고 무를 권리가 네게 있으니 너를 위하여 사라 하는지라 내가 이것이 여호와의 말씀인 줄 알았으므로 9내 숙부의 아들 하나멜의 아나돗에 있는 밭을 사는데 은 십칠 세겔을 달아 주되 10증서를 써서 인봉하고 증인을 세우고 은을 저울에 달아 주고 11법과 규례대로 인봉하고 인봉치 아니한 매매 증서를 내가 취하여 12나의 숙부의 아들 하나멜과 매매 증서에 인 친 증인의 앞과 시위대 뜰에 앉은 유다 모든 사람 앞에서 그 매매 증서를 마세야의 손자 네리야의 아들 바룩에게 부치며 13그들의 앞에서 바룩에게 명하여 이르되 14만군의 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님이 이같이 말씀하시기를 너는 이 증서 곧 인봉하고 인봉치 않은 매매증서를 취하여 토기에 담아 많은 날 동안 보존케 하라 15만군의 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님 내가 이같이 말하노라 사람이 이 땅에서 집과 밭과 포도원을 다시 사게 되리라 하셨다 하니라 16내가 매매 증서를 네리야의 아들 바룩에게 부친 후에 여호와께 기도하여 가로되 17슬프도소이다 주 여호와여 주께서 큰 능과 드신 팔로 천지를 지으셨사오니 주에게는 능치 못한 일이 없으시니이다 18주는 은혜를 천만인에게 베푸시며 아비의 죄악을 그 후 자손의 품에 갚으시오니 크고 능하신 하나님이시요 이름은 만군의 여호와시니이다 19주는 모략에 크시며 행사에 능하시며 인류의 모든 길에 주목하시며 그 길과 그 행위의 열매대로 보응하시나이다 20주께서 애굽 땅에서 징조와 기사로 행하셨고 오늘까지도 이스라엘과 외인 중에 그같이 행하사 주의 이름을 오늘과 같이 되게 하셨나이다 21주께서 징조와 기사와 강한 손과 드신 팔과 큰 두려움으로 주의 백성 이스라엘을 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 내시고 22그들에게 주시기로 그 열조에게 맹세하신 바 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 이 땅을 그들에게 주셨으므로 23그들이 들어가서 이를 차지하였거늘 주의 목소리를 청종치 아니하며 주의 도에 행치 아니하며 무릇 주께서 행하라 명하신 일을 행치 아니하였으므로 주께서 이 모든 재앙을 그들에게 내리셨나이다 24보옵소서 이 성을 취하려 하는 자가 와서 흉벽을 쌓았고 칼과 기근과 염병으로 인하여 이 성이 이를 치는 갈대아인의 손에 붙인 바 되었으니 주의 말씀대로 되었음을 주께서 보시나이다 25주 여호와여 주께서 내게 은으로 밭을 사며 증인을 세우라 하셨으나 이 성은 갈대아인의 손에 붙인 바 되었나이다 26때에 여호와의 말씀이 예레미야에게 임하여 이르시되 27나는 여호와요 모든 육체의 하나님이라 내게 능치 못한 일이 있겠느냐 28그러므로 나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 보라 내가 이 성을 갈대아인의 손과 바벨론 왕 느부갓네살의 손에 붙일 것인즉 그가 취할 것이라 29이 성을 치는 갈대아인이 와서 이 성읍에 불을 놓아 성과 집 곧 그 지붕에서 바알에게 분향하며 다른 신들에게 전제를 드려 나를 격노케 한 집들을 사르리니 30이는 이스라엘 자손과 유다 자손이 예로부터 내 목전에 악만 행하였음이라 이스라엘 자손은 그 손으로 만든 것을 가지고 나를 격노케 한 것뿐이니라 나 여호와가 말하노라 31이 성이 건설된 날부터 오늘까지 나의 노와 분을 격발하므로 내가 내 앞에서 그것을 옮기려 하노니 32이는 이스라엘 자손과 유다 자손이 모든 악을 행하며 내 노를 격동하였음이라 그들과 그들의 왕들과 그 방백들과 그 제사장들과 그 선지자들과 유다 사람들과 예루살렘 거민들이 다 그러하였느니라 33그들이 등을 내게로 향하고 얼굴을 내게로 향치 아니하며 내가 그들을 가르치되 부지런히 가르칠지라도 그들이 교훈을 듣지 아니하며 받지 아니하고 34내 이름으로 일컬음을 받는 집에 자기들의 가증한 물건들을 세워서 그 집을 더럽게 하며 35힌놈의 아들의 골짜기에 바알의 산당을 건축하였으며 자기들의 자녀를 몰렉의 불에 지나가게 하였느니라 그들이 이런 가증한 일을 행하여 유다로 범죄케 한 것은 나의 명한 것도 아니요 내 마음에 둔 것도 아니니라 36그러나 이스라엘의 하나님 나 여호와가 너희의 말하는 바 칼과 기근과 염병으로 인하여 바벨론 왕의 손에 붙인 바 되었다 하는 이 성에 대하여 이같이 말하노라 37보라 내가 노와 분과 큰 분노로 그들을 쫓아 보내었던 모든 지방에서 그들을 모아내어 이곳으로 다시 인도하여 안전히 거하게 할 것이라 38그들은 내 백성이 되겠고 나는 그들의 하나님이 될 것이며 39내가 그들에게 한 마음과 한 도를 주어 자기들과 자기 후손의 복을 위하여 항상 나를 경외하게 하고 40내가 그들에게 복을 주기 위하여 그들을 떠나지 아니하리라 하는 영영한 언약을 그들에게 세우고 나를 경외함을 그들의 마음에 두어 나를 떠나지 않게 하고 41내가 기쁨으로 그들에게 복을 주되 정녕히 나의 마음과 정신을 다하여 그들을 이 땅에 심으리라 42나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 내가 이 백성에게 이 큰 재앙을 내린 것 같이 허락한 모든 복을 그들에게 내리리라 43너희가 말하기를 황폐하여 사람이나 짐승이 없으며 갈대아인의 손에 붙인 바 되었다 하는 이 땅에서 사람들이 밭을 사되 44베냐민 땅과 예루살렘 사방과 유다 성읍들과 산지의 성읍들과 평지의 성읍들과 남방의 성읍들에 있는 밭을 은으로 사고 증서를 기록하여 인봉하고 증인을 세우리니 이는 내가 그들의 포로로 돌아오게 함이니라 여호와의 말이니라
1The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes; 5and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper? 6Jeremiah said, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 7Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it. 8So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to Yahweh’s word, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was Yahweh’s word. 9I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 10I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 11So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open; 12and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard. 13I commanded Baruch before them, saying, 14Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days. 15For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land. 16Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying, 17Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you, 18who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name; 19great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: 20who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as in this day; 21and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 23and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them. 24Behold, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it. 25You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, 27Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? 28Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it: 29and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh. 31For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face, 32because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction. 34But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it. 35They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I didn’t command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. 36Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: 37Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: 38and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them: 40and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me. 41Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. 42For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 44Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.
1Het woord, dat tot Jeremia geschied is van den HEERE, in het tiende jaar van Zedekia, koning van Juda; dit jaar was het achttiende jaar van Nebukadrezar. 2(Het heir nu des konings van Babel belegerde toen Jeruzalem, en de profeet Jeremia was besloten in het voorhof der bewaring, dat in het huis des konings van Juda is. 3Want Zedekia, de koning van Juda, had hem besloten, zeggende: Waarom profeteert gij, zeggende: Zo zegt de HEERE: Ziet, Ik geef deze stad in de hand des konings van Babel, en hij zal ze innemen; 4En Zedekia, de koning van Juda, zal van de hand der Chaldeen niet ontkomen; maar hij zal zekerlijk gegeven worden in de hand des konings van Babel, en zijn mond zal tot deszelfs mond spreken, en zijn ogen zullen deszelfs ogen zien; 5En hij zal Zedekia naar Babel voeren, en aldaar zal hij zijn, totdat Ik hem bezoek, spreekt de HEERE; ofschoon gijlieden tegen de Chaldeen strijdt, gij zult toch geen geluk hebben.) 6Jeremia dan zeide: Des HEEREN woord is tot mij geschied, zeggende: 7Zie, Hanameel, de zoon van Sallum, uw oom, zal tot u komen, zeggende: Koop u mijn veld, dat bij Anathoth is, want gij hebt het recht van lossing, om te kopen. 8Alzo kwam Hanameel, mijns ooms zoon, naar des HEEREN woord, tot mij, in het voorhof der bewaring, en zeide tot mij: Koop toch mijn veld, hetwelk is bij Anathoth, dat in het land van Benjamin is; want gij hebt het erfrecht, en gij hebt de lossing, koop het voor u. Toen merkte ik, dat het des HEEREN woord was. 9Dies kocht ik van Hanameel, mijns ooms zoon, het veld, dat bij Anathoth is; en ik woog hem het geld toe, zeventien zilveren sikkelen. 10En ik onderschreef den brief en verzegelde dien, en deed het getuigen betuigen, als ik het geld op de weegschaal gewogen had. 11En ik nam den koopbrief, die verzegeld was naar het gebod en de inzettingen, en den open brief; 12En ik gaf den koopbrief aan Baruch, den zoon van Nerija, den zoon van Machseja, voor de ogen van Hanameel, mijns ooms zoon, en voor de ogen der getuigen die den koopbrief hadden onderschreven; voor de ogen van al de Joden, die in het voorhof der bewaring zaten. 13En ik beval Baruch voor hun ogen, zeggende: 14Zo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen, de God Israels: Neem deze brieven, dezen koopbrief, zo den verzegelden als dezen open brief, en doe ze in een aarden vat, opdat zij vele dagen mogen bestaan. 15Want zo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen, de God Israels: Er zullen nog huizen, en velden, en wijngaarden in dit land gekocht worden. 16Voorts, nadat ik den koopbrief aan Baruch, den zoon van Nerija, gegeven had, bad ik tot den HEERE, zeggende: 17Ach, Heere HEERE! Zie, Gij hebt de hemelen en de aarde gemaakt, door Uw grote kracht en door Uw uitgestrekten arm; geen ding is U te wonderlijk. 18Gij, Die goedertierenheid doet aan duizenden, en de ongerechtigheid der vaderen vergeldt in den schoot hunner kinderen na hen; Gij grote, Gij geweldige God, Wiens Naam is HEERE der heirscharen! 19Groot van raad en machtig van daad; want Uw ogen zijn open over alle wegen der mensenkinderen, om een iegelijk te geven naar zijn wegen, en naar de vrucht zijner handelingen. 20Gij, Die tekenen en wonderen gesteld hebt in Egypteland, tot op dezen dag, zo in Israel, als onder andere mensen, en hebt U een Naam gemaakt, als Hij is te dezen dage! 21En hebt Uw volk Israel uit Egypteland uitgevoerd, door tekenen en door wonderen, en door een sterke hand, en door een uitgestrekten arm, en door grote verschrikking. 22En hebt hun dit land gegeven, dat Gij hun vaderen gezworen hadt hun te zullen geven, een land vloeiende van melk en honig; 23Zij zijn er ook ingekomen en hebben het erfelijk bezeten, maar hebben Uwer stem niet gehoorzaamd, en in Uw wet niet gewandeld; zij hebben niets gedaan van alles, wat Gij hun geboden hadt te doen; dies hebt Gij hun al dit kwaad doen bejegenen. 24Zie, de wallen! zij zijn gekomen aan de stad, om die in te nemen, en de stad is gegeven in de hand der Chaldeen, die tegen haar strijden; vanwege het zwaard en den honger en de pestilentie; en wat Gij gesproken hebt, is geschied, en zie, Gij ziet het. 25Evenwel hebt Gij tot mij gezegd, Heere HEERE! koop u dat veld voor geld, en doe het getuigen betuigen; daar de stad in der Chaldeen hand gegeven is. 26Toen geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot Jeremia, zeggende: 27Zie, Ik ben de HEERE, de God van alle vlees; zou Mij enig ding te wonderlijk zijn? 28Daarom zegt de HEERE alzo: Zie, Ik geef deze stad in de hand der Chaldeen, en in de hand van Nebukadrezar, den koning van Babel, en hij zal ze innemen. 29En de Chaldeen, die tegen deze stad strijden, zullen er inkomen, en deze stad met vuur aansteken, en zullen ze verbranden, met de huizen, op welker daken zij aan Baal gerookt, en anderen goden drankofferen geofferd hebben, om Mij te vertoornen. 30Want de kinderen Israels en de kinderen van Juda hebben van hun jeugd aan alleenlijk gedaan, dat kwaad was in Mijn ogen; want de kinderen Israels hebben Mij door het werk hunner handen alleenlijk vertoornd, spreekt de HEERE. 31Want tot Mijn toorn en tot Mijn grimmigheid is Mij deze stad geweest, van den dag af, dat zij haar gebouwd hebben, tot op dezen dag toe; opdat Ik haar van Mijn aangezicht wegdeed; 32Om al de boosheid der kinderen Israels en der kinderen van Juda, die zij gedaan hebben om Mij te vertoornen, zij, hun koningen, hun vorsten, hun priesteren, en hun profeten, en de mannen van Juda, en de inwoners van Jeruzalem; 33Die Mij den nek hebben toegekeerd en niet het aangezicht; hoewel Ik hen leerde, vroeg op zijnde en lerende, evenwel hoorden zij niet, om tucht aan te nemen; 34Maar zij hebben hun verfoeiselen gesteld in het huis, dat naar Mijn Naam genoemd is, om dat te verontreinigen. 35En zij hebben de hoogten van Baal gebouwd, die in het dal des zoons van Hinnom zijn, om hun zonen en hun dochteren den Molech door het vuur te laten gaan; hetwelk Ik hun niet heb geboden, noch in Mijn hart is opgekomen, dat zij dezen gruwel zouden doen; opdat zij Juda mochten doen zondigen. 36En nu, daarom zegt de HEERE, de God Israels, alzo van deze stad, waar gij van zegt: Zij is gegeven in de hand des konings van Babel, door het zwaard, en door den honger, en door de pestilentie; 37Ziet, Ik zal hen vergaderen uit al de landen, waarhenen Ik hen zal verdreven hebben in Mijn toorn, en in Mijn grimmigheid, en in grote verbolgenheid; en Ik zal hen tot deze plaats wederbrengen, en zal hen zeker doen wonen. 38Ja, zij zullen Mij tot een volk zijn, en Ik zal hun tot een God zijn. 39En Ik zal hun enerlei hart en enerlei weg geven, om Mij te vrezen al de dagen, hun ten goede, mitsgaders hun kinderen na hen. 40En Ik zal een eeuwig verbond met hen maken, dat Ik van achter hen niet zal afkeren, opdat Ik hun weldoe; en Ik zal Mijn vreze in hun hart geven, dat zij niet van Mij afwijken. 41En Ik zal Mij over hen verblijden, dat Ik hun weldoe; en Ik zal hen getrouwelijk in dat land planten, met Mijn ganse hart en met Mijn ganse ziel. 42Want zo zegt de HEERE: Gelijk als Ik over dit volk gebracht heb al dit grote kwaad, alzo zal Ik over hen brengen al het goede, dat Ik over hen spreke. 43En er zullen velden gekocht worden in dit land, waarvan gij zegt: Het is woest, dat er geen mens noch beest in is; het is in der Chaldeen hand gegeven. 44Velden zal men voor geld kopen, en de brieven onderschrijven, en verzegelen, en getuigen doen betuigen, in het land van Benjamin, en in de plaatsen rondom Jeruzalem, en in de steden van Juda, en in de steden van het gebergte, en in de steden der laagte, en in de steden van het zuiden; want Ik zal hun gevangenis wenden, spreekt de HEERE.
