1Palavra que veio do SENHOR a Jeremias, no décimo ano de Zedequias rei de Judá, que foi o décimo oitavo ano de Nabucodonosor. 2(Quando então o exército do rei da Babilônia tinha cercado a Jerusalém; e o profeta Jeremias estava preso no pátio da guarda, que estava na casa do rei de Judá, 3Pois Zedequias rei de Judá tinha lhe prendido, dizendo: Por que profetizas tu dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR: “Eis que eu entrego esta cidade na mão do rei da Babilônia, e ele a tomará, 4E Zedequias rei de Judá não escapará da mão dos caldeus; ao contrário, certamente será entregue na mão do rei da Babilônia, e falará com ele face a face, e seus olhos verão seus olhos, 5E levará Zedequias à Babilônia, e ali ficará até que eu o visite, diz o SENHOR; se lutardes com os Caldeus, não vencereis”?) 6Disse, pois, Jeremias: A palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo: 7Eis que Hanameel, filho de Salum teu tio, está vindo a ti para dizer: Compra para ti minha propriedade que está em Anatote; pois tu tens o direito de resgate para comprá-la. 8E veio a mim Hanameel, filho de meu tio, conforme à palavra do SENHOR, ao pátio da guarda, e me disse: Compra agora minha propriedade que está em Anatote, na terra de Benjamim; pois teu é o direito de herança, e teu é o resgate; compra -a para ti. Então entendi que isto era a palavra do SENHOR. 9Assim comprei a propriedade de Hanameel, filho de meu tio, a qual está em Anatote; e pesei para ele o dinheiro: dezessete siclos de prata. 10E assinei o documento, e o selei, e o fiz testemunhar a testemunhas; e pesei o dinheiro em balanças. 11Tomei logo o documento de compra selado, que continha os termos e condições, e a cópia aberta. 12E dei o documento de compra a Baruque, filho de Nerias, filho de Maasias, diante da vista de Hanameel filho de meu tio, e diante da vista das testemunhas que assinaram o documento de compra, e diante da vista de todos os judeus que estavam sentados no pátio da guarda. 13E mandei a Baruque diante da vista deles, dizendo: 14Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Toma estes documentos, este documento de compra, tanto o que está selado como este documento aberto, e põe-nos em um vaso de barro, para que durem muitos dias. 15Pois assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Ainda se comprarão casas, campos, e vinhas nesta terra. 16E depois que dei o documento de compra a Baruque filho de Nerias, orei ao SENHOR, dizendo: 17Ah Senhor DEUS! Eis que tu fizeste os céus e a terra com teu grande poder, e com teu braço estendido; não há coisa alguma que seja difícil para ti; 18Tu, que mostras bondade a milhares, e retribuis a maldade dos pais no seio de seus filhos depois deles; o grande, poderoso Deus; EU-SOU dos exércitos é o seu nome; 19Grande em conselho, e magnífico em feitos; pois teus olhos estão abertos sobre todos os caminhos dos filhos dos homens, para dar a cada um conforme seus caminhos, e conforme o fruto de suas obras; 20Que puseste sinais e maravilhas na terra do Egito até o dia de hoje, e em Israel, e entre os homens; e fizeste para ti um nome tal como é este dia; 21E tiraste teu povo Israel da terra do Egito com sinais e maravilhas, com mão forte e braço estendido, e com grande espanto; 22E deste-lhes esta terra, da qual juraste a seus pais lhes dar, terra que mana leite e mel: 23E entraram, e tomaram posse dela ; porém não obedeceram à tua voz, nem andaram em tua lei; nada fizeram do que lhes mandaste fazer; por isso fizeste vir sobre eles todo este mal. 24Eis aqui os cercos! Já vieram à cidade para tomá-la; e a cidade está entregue nas mãos dos caldeus que lutam contra ela, por causa da espada, da fome e da pestilência; e o que falaste se cumpriu, e eis que tu estás vendo isso . 25Porém tu, ó Senhor DEUS, me disseste: Compra para ti o campo por dinheiro, e faze com que testemunhas testemunhem; mesmo estando a cidade já entregue nas mãos dos caldeus? 26Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, dizendo: 27Eis que eu sou o SENHOR, Deus de toda carne: Existe, por acaso, algo difícil demais para mim? 28Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que eu entrego esta cidade nas mãos dos caldeus, e na mão de Nabucodonosor rei de Babilônia, e ele a tomará; 29E os caldeus que lutam contra esta cidade entrarão, e incendiarão esta cidade com fogo, e a queimarão, juntamente com as casas sobre cujas terraços ofereceram incenso a Baal e fizeram ofertas de bebidas a deuses estrangeiros, para me provocarem à ira; 30Pois os filhos de Israel e os filhos de Judá têm feito somente o mal diante dos meus olhos desde sua juventude; porque os filhos de Israel nada têm feito, a não ser somente me provocar à ira com a obra de suas mãos,diz o SENHOR. 31Pois esta cidade tem me causado minha ira e meu furor desde o dia que a edificaram até hoje, de tal maneira que eu a removerei de minha presença; 32Por toda a maldade dos filhos de Israel e dos filhos de Judá, que têm feito para me provocarem à ira; eles, seus reis, seus príncipes, seus sacerdotes, seus profetas, os homens de Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém. 33E viraram para mim as costas, e não o rosto. Ainda que eu tenha lhes ensinado, insistindo em ensinar, contudo se recusaram a ouvir para receberem correção; 34Ao invés disso, puseram suas abominações na casa que se chama pelo meu nome, para a profanarem. 35E edificaram os altos de Baal, que ficam no vale do filho de Hinom, para fazer seus filhos e suas filhas passarem pelo fogo a Moloque, o que nunca lhes mandei, nem pensei em meu coração, para que fizessem tal abominação, para fazerem pecar a Judá. 36E portanto agora assim diz o SENHOR Deus de Israel, quanto a esta cidade, da qual vós dizeis: Já está entregue nas mãos do rei de Babilônia à espada, à fome, e à pestilência: 37Eis que eu os ajuntarei de todas as terras para onde eu os tiver lançado com minha ira, meu furor e grande indignação; e os farei voltar a este lugar, e os farei habitar em segurança; 38E eles serão meu povo, e eu lhes serei seu Deus. 39E lhes darei um só coração e um só caminho, para que me temam todos os dias, para o bem deles, e de seus filhos depois deles. 40E farei com eles um pacto eterno, que não lhes deixarei de fazer o bem, e porei o temor a mim no coração deles, para que nunca se afastem de mim. 41E me alegrarei com eles fazendo-lhes bem, e fielmente os plantarei nesta terra , com todo meu coração e com toda a minha alma. 42Pois assim diz o SENHOR: Assim como trouxe sobre este povo todo este grande mal, assim também trarei sobre eles todo o bem que eu lhes prometo. 43E campos serão comprados nesta terra da qual vós dizeis: Está desolada, sem homens e sem animais; está entregue nas mãos dos caldeus. 44Campos serão comprados por dinheiro, e se assinarão documentos, e os selarão, e farão testemunhas testificarem, na terra de Benjamim, nos arredores de Jerusalém, e nas cidades de Judá; nas cidades das montanhas, e nas cidades das planícies, e nas cidades do Negueve; porque eu os restaurarei de seu infortúnio, diz o SENHOR.
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.
