예레미야 33

1예레미야가 아직 시위대 뜰에 갇혔을 때에 여호와의 말씀이 그에게 임하니라 가라사대 2일을 행하는 여호와, 그것을 지어 성취하는 여호와, 그 이름을 여호와라 하는 자가 이같이 이르노라 3너는 내게 부르짖으라 내가 네게 응답하겠고 네가 알지 못하는 크고 비밀한 일을 네게 보이리라 4이스라엘의 하나님 여호와가 말하노라 무리가 이 성읍의 가옥과 유다 왕궁을 헐어서 갈대아인의 흉벽과 칼을 막아 5싸우려 하였으나 내가 나의 노와 분함으로 그들을 죽이고 그 시체로 이 성에 채우게 하였나니 이는 그들의 모든 악을 인하여 나의 얼굴을 가리워 이 성을 돌아보지 아니하였음이니라 6그러나 보라 내가 이 성을 치료하며 고쳐 낫게 하고 평강과 성실함에 풍성함을 그들에게 나타낼 것이며 7내가 유다의 포로와 이스라엘의 포로를 돌아오게 하여 그들을 처음과 같이 세울 것이며 8내가 그들을 내게 범한 그 모든 죄악에서 정하게 하며 그들의 내게 범하여 행한 모든 죄악을 사할 것이라 9이 성읍이 세계 열방 앞에서 내게 기쁜 이름이 될 것이며 찬송과 영광이 될 것이요 그들은 나의 이 백성에게 베푼 모든 복을 들을 것이요 나의 이 성읍에 베푼 모든 복과 모든 평강을 인하여 두려워하며 떨리라 10나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 너희가 가리켜 말하기를 황폐하여 사람도 없고 짐승도 없다 하던 여기 곧 황폐하여 사람도 없고 주민도 없고 짐승도 없던 유다 성읍들과 예루살렘 거리에서 즐거워하는 소리, 기뻐하는 소리, 신랑의 소리, 신부의 소리와 및 만군의 여호와께 감사하라, 여호와는 선하시니 그 인자하심이 영원하다 11하는 소리와 여호와의 집에 감사제를 드리는 자들의 소리가 다시 들리리니 이는 내가 이 땅의 포로로 돌아와서 처음과 같이 되게 할 것이니라 여호와의 말이니라 12나 만군의 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 황폐하여 사람도 없고 짐승도 없던 이 곳과 그 모든 성읍에 다시 목자의 거할 곳이 있으리니 그 양무리를 눕게 할 것이라 13산지 성읍들과 평지 성읍들과 남방의 성읍들과 베냐민 땅과 예루살렘 사면과 유다 성읍들에서 양 무리가 다시 계수하는 자의 손 아래로 지나리라 여호와의 말이니라 14나 여호와가 말하노라 보라 내가 이스라엘 집과 유다 집에 대하여 이른 선한 말을 성취할 날이 이르리라 15그 날 그 때에 내가 다윗에게 한 의로운 가지가 나게 하리니 그가 이 땅에 공평과 정의를 실행할 것이라 16그 날에 유다가 구원을 얻겠고 예루살렘이 안전히 거할 것이며 그 성은 여호와 우리의 의라 일컬음을 입으리라 17나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 이스라엘 집 위에 앉을 사람이 다윗에게 영영히 끊어지지 아니할 것이며 18내 앞에서 번제를 드리며 소제를 사르며 다른 제를 항상 드릴 레위 사람 제사장들도 끊어지지 아니하리라 하시니라 19여호와의 말씀이 예레미야에게 임하니라 가라사대 20나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 너희가 능히 낮에 대한 나의 약정과 밤에 대한 나의 약정을 파하여 주야로 그 때를 잃게할 수 있을진대 21내 종 다윗에게 세운 나의 언약도 파하여 그로 그 위에 앉아 다스릴 아들이 없게 할 수 있겠으며 내가 나를 섬기는 레위인 제사장에게 세운 언약도 파할 수 있으리라 22하늘의 만상은 셀 수 없으며 바다의 모래는 측량할 수 없나니 내가 그와 같이 내 종 다윗의 자손과 나를 섬기는 레위인을 번성케 하리라 하시니라 23여호와의 말씀이 예레미야에게 임하니라 가라사대 24이 백성이 말하기를 여호와께서 그 택하신 두 족속을 버리셨다 한 것을 네가 생각지 아니하느냐 그들이 내 백성을 멸시하여 자기들 앞에서 나라로 인정치 아니하도다 25나 여호와가 이같이 말하노라 나의 주야의 약정이 서지 아니할 수 있다든지 천지의 규례가 정한 대로 되지 아니할 수 있다 할진대 26내가 야곱과 내 종 다윗의 자손을 버려서 다시는 다윗의 자손 중에서 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱의 자손을 다스릴 자를 택하지 아니하리라 내가 그 포로된 자로 돌아오게 하고 그를 긍휼히 여기리라

1Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 2Thus says Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it; Yahweh is his name: 3Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you don’t know. 4For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword; 5while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city: 6Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth. 7I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 8I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me. 9This city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it. 10Thus says Yahweh: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal, 11the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, says Yahweh. 12Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them, says Yahweh. 14Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. 15In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which she shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness. 17For thus says Yahweh: David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. 19Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, 20Thus says Yahweh: If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season; 21then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 22As the army of the sky can’t be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so I will multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me. 23Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, 24Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, The two families which Yahweh chose, he has cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 25Thus says Yahweh: If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26then I will also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.

1Voorts geschiedde des HEEREN woord ten tweeden male tot Jeremia, als hij nog in het voorhof der bewaring was opgesloten, zeggende: 2Zo zegt de HEERE, Die het doet, de HEERE, Die dat formeert, opdat Hij het bevestige, HEERE is Zijn Naam; 3Roep tot Mij, en Ik zal u antwoorden, en Ik zal u bekend maken grote en vaste dingen, die gij niet weet. 4Want zo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels, van de huizen dezer stad, en van de huizen der koningen van Juda, die door de wallen en door het zwaard zijn afgebroken: 5Er zijn er wel ingekomen, om te strijden tegen de Chaldeen, maar het is om die te vullen met dode lichamen van mensen, die Ik verslagen heb in Mijn toorn en in Mijn grimmigheid; en omdat Ik Mijn aangezicht van deze stad verborgen heb, om al hunlieder boosheid. 6Zie, Ik zal haar de gezondheid en de genezing doen rijzen, en zal henlieden genezen, en zal hun openbaren overvloed van vrede en waarheid. 7En Ik zal de gevangenis van Juda en de gevangenis van Israel wenden, en zal ze bouwen als in het eerste. 8En Ik zal hen reinigen van al hun ongerechtigheid, met dewelke zij tegen Mij gezondigd hebben; en Ik zal vergeven al hun ongerechtigheden, met dewelke zij tegen Mij gezondigd en met dewelke zij tegen Mij overtreden hebben. 9En het zal Mij zijn tot een vrolijken naam, tot een roem, en tot een sieraad bij alle heidenen der aarde; die al het goede zullen horen, dat Ik hun doe; en zij zullen vrezen en beroerd zijn over al het goede, en over al den vrede, dien Ik hun beschikke. 10Alzo zegt de HEERE: In deze plaats (waarvan gij zegt: Zij is woest, dat er geen mens en geen beest in is), in de steden van Juda, en op de straten van Jeruzalem, die zo verwoest zijn, dat er geen mens, en geen inwoner, en geen beest in is, zal wederom gehoord worden, 11De stem der vrolijkheid en de stem der blijdschap, de stem des bruidegoms en de stem der bruid, de stem dergenen, die zeggen: Looft den HEERE der heirscharen, want de HEERE is goed, want Zijn goedertierenheid is in eeuwigheid! de stem dergenen, die lof aanbrengen ten huize des HEEREN; want Ik zal de gevangenis des lands wenden, als in het eerste, zegt de HEERE. 12Zo zegt de HEERE der heirscharen: In deze plaats, die zo woest is, dat er geen mens, zelfs tot het vee toe, in is, mitsgaders in al derzelver steden, zullen wederom woningen zijn van herderen, die de kudden doen legeren. 13In de steden van het gebergte, in de steden der laagte, en in de steden van het zuiden, en in het land van Benjamin, en in de plaatsen rondom Jeruzalem, en in de steden van Juda, zullen de kudden wederom onder de handen des tellers doorgaan, zegt de HEERE. 14Ziet, de dagen komen, spreekt de HEERE, dat Ik het goede woord verwekken zal, dat Ik tot het huis van Israel en over het huis van Juda gesproken heb. 15In die dagen, en te dier tijd zal Ik David een SPRUIT der gerechtigheid doen uitspruiten; en Hij zal recht en gerechtigheid doen op aarde. 16In die dagen zal Juda verlost worden, en Jeruzalem zeker wonen; en deze is, die haar roepen zal: De HEERE, onze GERECHTIGHEID. 17Want zo zegt de HEERE: Aan David zal niet worden afgesneden een Man, Die op den troon van het huis Israels zitte. 18Ook zal den Levietischen priesteren, van voor Mijn aangezicht, niet worden afgesneden een Man, Die brandoffer offere, en spijsoffer aansteke, en slachtoffer bereide al de dagen. 19En des HEEREN woord geschiedde tot Jeremia, zeggende: 20Alzo zegt de HEERE: Indien gijlieden Mijn verbond van den dag; en Mijn verbond van den nacht kondt vernietigen, zodat dag en nacht niet zijn op hun tijd; 21Zo zal ook vernietigd kunnen worden Mijn verbond met Mijn knecht David, dat hij geen zoon hebbe, die op zijn troon regere, en met de Levieten, de priesteren, Mijn dienaren. 22Gelijk het heir des hemels niet geteld, en het zand der zee niet gemeten kan worden, alzo zal Ik vermenigvuldigen het zaad van Mijn knecht David, en de Levieten, die Mij dienen. 23Voorts geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot Jeremia, zeggende: 24Hebt gij niet gezien, wat dit volk spreekt, zeggende: De twee geslachten, die de HEERE verkoren had, die heeft Hij nu verworpen? Ja, zij versmaden Mijn volk, zodat het geen volk meer is voor hun aangezicht. 25Zo zegt de HEERE: Indien Mijn verbond niet is van dag en nacht; indien Ik de ordeningen des hemels en der aarde niet gesteld heb; 26Zo zal Ik ook het zaad van Jakob en van Mijn knecht David verwerpen, dat Ik van zijn zaad niet neme, die daar heerse over het zaad van Abraham, Izak en Jakob; want Ik zal hun gevangenis wenden en Mij hunner ontfermen.
