Йеремия 25
Bulgarian Bible
25 Словото, което дойде към Еремия за всичките Юдови люде, в четвъртата година на Юдовия цар Иоаким, Иосиевия син, която година бе и първа на Вавилонския цар Навуходоносора,
2 което слово пророк Еремия изговори на всичките Юдови люде и на всичките ерусалимски жители, като казва:
3 От тринадесетата година на Юдовия цар Иосия, Амоновия син, дори до днес, тия двадесет и три години, Господното слово дохождаше към мене; и аз ви говорех; но вие не послушахте.
4 И Господ прати до вас всичките Си слуги пророците, като ставаше рано и ги пращаше, (но не послушахте, нито приклонихте ухо да послушате),
5 и те казваха: Върнете се сега всеки от лошия си път и от злите си дела, и населявайте земята, която Господ даде на вас и на бащите ви от века и до века;
6 и не отивайте след други богове, за да им служите и да им се кланяте, и не Ме разгневявайте с делата на ръцете си; и Аз няма да ви сторя зло.
7 Но вие не Ме послушахте, казва Господ, като Ме разгневявахте с делата на ръцете си за собственото си зло.
8 Затова, така казва Господ на Силите: Понеже не послушахте думите Ми,
9 ето, Аз ще изпратя и ще взема всичките северни родове, казва Господ, тоже и слугата Ми Навуходоносора, Вавилонския цар, та ще ги доведа против тая земя, и против нейните жители, и против всички тия околни народи; ще ги обрека на изтребление, и ще ги направя за учудване и за подсвиркване, и ще ги обърна на вечна пустота.
10 При това, ще направя да престане между тях гласът на веселието и гласът на радостта, гласът на младоженеца и гласът на невестата, шумът на мелницата и светенето на светилото.
11 И цялата тая земя ще бъде пуста и за учудване; и тия народи ще робуват на вавилонския цар седемдесет години.
12 А когато се свършат седемдесетте години, Аз ще накажа Вавилонския цар и оня народ за беззаконието им, казва Господ, също и Халдейската земя, която ще обърна във вечна пустота.
13 И ще докарам върху оная земя всичките неща, които съм говорил против нея, всичко що има писано в тая книга, което Еремия пророкува против всичките народи.
14 Защото много народи и велики царе ще поробят и тях; Аз ще им въздам според делата им и според работата на ръцете им.
15 Защото така ми каза Господ, Израилевият Бог: Вземи от ръката Ми тая чаша с виното на яростта Ми, та напой от нея всичките народи, до които те пращам.
16 И като пият, ще политат и обезумеят поради ножа, който ще изпратя всред тях.
17 Тогава взех чашата от ръката на Господа, та напоих всичките народи, при които ме беше изпратил Господа, а именно:
18 Ерусалим и Юдовите градове, с царете им и първенците им, за да ги обърна в пустота, и за да станат за учудване и подсвиркване и проклетия, както са днес;
19 египетският цар Фараона, със слугите му, първенците му , и всичките му люде;
20 всичките разноплеменни люде, всичките царе на земята Уз, и всичките царе на Филистимската земя, с Аскалон, Газа, Акарон, и останалите от Азот;
21 Едома, Моава, и амонците;
22 и всичките тирски царе, всичките сидонски царе, и царете на островите оттатък морето;
23 Дедана, Тема, Вуза, и всички, които си стрижат издадените части на косата;
24 всичките арабски царе, и всичките царе на разноплеменните люде, които населяват пустинята;
25 всичките зимрийски царе, всичките еламски царе, и всичките мидски царе;
26 всичките северни царе, ближните и далечните, едни с други, и всичките царства на света, които са по лицето на земята; а царят на Сесах* ще пие подир тях.
27 Затова, ще им речеш - Така казва Господ на Силите, Израилевият Бог: Пийте и опийте се, повръщайте, паднете, и не ставайте вече, поради ножа, който ще изпратя всред вас.
28 И ако откажат да вземат чашата от ръката ти и да пият, тогава да им речеш: Така казва Господ на Силите: Непременно ще пиете;
29 защото, ето, Аз докарвам зло като започвам от града, който се нарича по Моето име; и вие ли ще останете съвсем ненаказани? Няма да останете ненаказани, защото Аз ще призова нож върху всичките земни жители, казва Господ на Силите.
30 Затова, пророкувай ти против тях всички тия неща, като им кажеш: Господ ще изреве свише, И ще издаде гласа Си от светото Си обиталище; Ще изреве силно против паството Си; Ще извика, като ония, които тъпчат грозде, Против всичките жители на света.
31 Екотът ще стигне и до краищата на света, Защото Господ има съд с народите; Той ще се съди с всяка твар, Ще предаде нечестивите на нож, казва Господ.
32 Така казва Господ на Силите: Ето, зло ще излезе от народ към народ, И голям ураган ще се подигне От краищата на земята.
33 В оня ден убитите от Господа ще лежат От единия край на земята до другия край на земята; Няма да бъдат оплакани, нито прибрани, нито погребани; Ще бъдат за тор по повърхността на земята.
34 Лелекайте, пастири и извикайте, И вие, началници на стадото, валяйте се в пръстта; Защото напълно настана времето, за да бъдете заклани и разпръснати, И ще паднете като отбран съд.
35 И пастирите не ще имат средство за избягване, Нито началниците на стадото за избавление.
36 Глас на вопъл от пастирите, И виене от началниците на стадото! Защото Господ опустошава пасбището им.
37 И мирните кошари занемяха От пламенния гняв на Господа.
38 Той е оставил убежището Си като лъв; Да! земята им стана за учудване От лютостта на насилника, И от яростния Му гняв.
Jeremiah 25
New International Version
Seventy Years of Captivity
25 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah(C) and to all those living in Jerusalem: 3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah(D) son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—the word of the Lord has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again,(E) but you have not listened.(F)
4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets(G) to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention.(H) 5 They said, “Turn(I) now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land(J) the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods(K) to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused(L) my anger with what your hands have made,(M) and you have brought harm(N) to yourselves.”
8 Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, 9 I will summon(O) all the peoples of the north(P) and my servant(Q) Nebuchadnezzar(R) king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy[a](S) them and make them an object of horror and scorn,(T) and an everlasting ruin.(U) 10 I will banish from them the sounds(V) of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom,(W) the sound of millstones(X) and the light of the lamp.(Y) 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,(Z) and these nations will serve(AA) the king of Babylon seventy years.(AB)
12 “But when the seventy years(AC) are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon(AD) and his nation, the land of the Babylonians,[b] for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate(AE) forever. 13 I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written(AF) in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. 14 They themselves will be enslaved(AG) by many nations(AH) and great kings; I will repay(AI) them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
The Cup of God’s Wrath
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup(AJ) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(AK) you drink it. 16 When they drink(AL) it, they will stagger(AM) and go mad(AN) because of the sword(AO) I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(AP) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(AQ) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(AR) and an object of horror and scorn,(AS) a curse[c](AT)—as they are today;(AU) 19 Pharaoh king(AV) of Egypt,(AW) his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(AX) all the kings of the Philistines(AY) (those of Ashkelon,(AZ) Gaza,(BA) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom,(BB) Moab(BC) and Ammon;(BD) 22 all the kings of Tyre(BE) and Sidon;(BF) the kings of the coastlands(BG) across the sea; 23 Dedan,(BH) Tema,(BI) Buz(BJ) and all who are in distant places[d];(BK) 24 all the kings of Arabia(BL) and all the kings of the foreign people(BM) who live in the wilderness; 25 all the kings of Zimri,(BN) Elam(BO) and Media;(BP) 26 and all the kings of the north,(BQ) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(BR) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[e](BS) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(BT) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(BU) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(BV), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(BW) on the city that bears my Name,(BX) and will you indeed go unpunished?(BY) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(BZ) on all(CA) who live on the earth,(CB) declares the Lord Almighty.’
30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
“‘The Lord will roar(CC) from on high;
he will thunder(CD) from his holy dwelling(CE)
and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(CF) the grapes,
shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(CG) will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges(CH) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(CI) on all(CJ) mankind
and put the wicked to the sword,(CK)’”
declares the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster(CL) is spreading
from nation to nation;(CM)
a mighty storm(CN) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”(CO)
33 At that time those slain(CP) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(CQ) up or buried,(CR) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(CS)
roll(CT) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(CU) has come;
you will fall like the best of the rams.[f](CV)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(CW)
36 Hear the cry(CX) of the shepherds,(CY)
the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion(CZ) he will leave his lair,
and their land will become desolate(DA)
because of the sword[g] of the oppressor(DB)
and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(DC)

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
25 The word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,)
2 Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josias the son of Ammon king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and speaking, and you have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ears to hear.
5 When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way, and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord hath given to you, and your fathers for ever and ever.
6 And go not after strange gods to serve them, and adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not afflict you.
7 And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard my words:
9 Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 And I will take away from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.
11 And all this land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all nations:
14 For they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their hands.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all the nations to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.
16 And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad because of the sword, which I shall send among them.
17 And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.
19 Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people,
20 And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.
21 And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.
23 And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert.
25 And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes:
26 And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.
27 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you.
28 And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink:
29 For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.
37 And the fields of peace have been silent, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He has forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
