예레미야 37
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
예레미야가 감옥에 갇히다
37 바빌로니아 왕 느부갓네살은 여호야김의 아들 고니야[a]를 대신하여 요시야의 아들 시드기야를 유다 땅의 왕으로 앉혔다. 2 그런데 왕이나 그의 신하들이나 그 땅의 백성들이 모두, 주께서 예언자 예레미야를 통하여 들려주시는 말씀에 전혀 귀를 기울이지 않았다.
3 시드기야 왕은 셀레먀의 아들 여후갈과 마아세야의 아들인 제사장 스바냐를 예언자 예레미야에게 보내어 다음과 같은 말을 전하게 했다. “우리를 위하여 우리 주 하나님께 기도해 주시오.”
4 그 때는 예레미야가 아직 감옥에 갇히지 않아 백성들 가운데서 자유롭게 활동하고 있던 때였다. 5 그리고 예루살렘을 에워싸고 있던 바빌로니아 군인들은 바로의 군대가 이집트에서 출동했다는 소식을 듣고 예루살렘에서 잠깐 물러간 때였다.
6 그 때에 주의 말씀이 예언자 예레미야에게 내렸다. 7 “주 이스라엘의 하나님이 이렇게 말한다. 너희[b]를 나에게 보내어 나에게 물어보라고 시킨 유다 왕에게 이렇게 전해라. ‘너희를 도우려고 출동한 바로의 군대는 제 나라 이집트로 돌아갈 것이다. 8 그리고 바빌로니아 군대는 돌아와 이 성읍을 공격할 것이다. 그들은 이 성읍을 점령하여 불태워버릴 것이다.’
9 나 주가 하는 말이다. 너희는 ‘바빌로니아 군대가 틀림없이 떠날 것이다.’ 라고 생각하는 모양인데 그런 생각으로 너희 자신을 속이지 말아라. 그들은 떠나지 않을 것이다. 10 너희를 공격하는 바빌로니아 군대를 너희가 완전히 쳐부수어, 그들의 천막에 남은 사람이라곤 부상병들밖에 없게 된다고 하더라도, 그 부상병들이 나와서 이 성읍을 불태워 버릴 것이다.”
11 바빌로니아 군대가 바로의 군대 때문에 예루살렘에서 물러났을 때에, 12 예레미야는 예루살렘을 뒤로하고 베냐민 땅[c]으로 가려고 길을 떠났다. 그가 그 곳에 사놓은 땅을 둘러보려는 것이었다. 13 그가 ‘베냐민 문[d]’에 이르렀을 때 그곳에 하나냐의 손자이며 셀레먀의 아들인 이리야가 수문장으로 있었다. 그는 예언자 예레미야를 붙들고 말하였다. “당신은 지금 바빌로니아 군인들에게 투항하러 가는 길이지요?.” 14 예레미야 가 “그렇지 않소. 나는 바빌로니아 사람들에게 투항하러 가는 길이 아니오.”하고 말했다. 그러나 이리야는 그의 말을 들으려 하지 않았다. 그는 예레미야를 붙잡아서 고관들에게로 끌고 갔다. 15 고관들은 예레미야에게 화가 나서 그를 매질하게 한 다음 서기관 요나단의 집에 가두게 하였다. 그들은 전부터 그 집을 감옥으로 쓰고 있었던 것이다. 16 예레미야는 그 집의 지하 감옥에 여러 날 동안 갇혀 있었다.
17 그러던 어느날 시드기야 왕이 그를 몰래 자기 궁궐로 불러오게 하여 물었다. “주님에게서 받은 말씀이 있소?” 예레미야가 대답했다. “예. 있습니다. 임금님은 바빌로니아 왕의 손에 넘어갈 것입니다.” 18 그리고 나서 예레미야가 왕에게 이렇게 말했다. “제가 임금님이나 임금님의 신하들이나 이 백성에게 무슨 죄를 지었기에 저를 감옥에 가두는 것입니까? 19 임금님께 ‘바빌로니아 왕은 임금님이나 이 땅을 치러 오지 않을 것입니다.’ 라고 예언하던 임금님의 예언자들은 지금 어디에 있습니까? 20 임금님, 임금님께 청을 한 가지 드릴 터이니 꼭 좀 들어주시기 바랍니다. 저를 서기관 요나단의 집으로 돌려보내지 말아 주십시오. 그랬다가는 제가 그곳에서 죽고 말 것입니다.”
21 시드기야 왕은 명령을 내려 예레미야를 근위대의 뜰에 가두게 하였다. 그리고 예루살렘에서 빵이 떨어질 때까지 빵 굽는 사람들의 거리에서 날마다 빵을 한 덩이씩 가져다가 예레미야에게 주게 하였다. 그래서 예레미야는 근위대 뜰 안에서 지내게 되었다.

The Babylonians Withdraw to Meet a Threat from Egypt
37 And king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had made king, reigned as king in the land of Judah in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim. 2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet. 3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,[a] “Please pray for us to Yahweh our God.” 4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going out in the midst of the people and they had not put him in the house of imprisonment. 5 And the army of Pharaoh had come out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans, who were laying siege to Jerusalem, heard their report and they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,[b] 7 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘This is what you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me, “Look, the army of Pharaoh, which set out to help you, is going to return to his land Egypt. 8 And the Chaldeans will return, and they will fight against this city, and they will capture it, and they will burn it with fire.”’ 9 Thus says Yahweh: ‘You must not deceive yourselves, saying,[c] “Surely the Chaldeans will go from us,” for they will not go. 10 For even if you struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and only men pierced through remained among them, each one in his tent, they would rise up and they would burn this city with fire.’”
Jeremiah is Arrested and Put in Prison
11 And then,[d] at the withdrawing of the army of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem before[e] the army of Pharaoh, 12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to receive a portion from there in the midst of the people. 13 And when[f] he was at the Gate of Benjamin, there was a sentry on duty[g] whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying,[h] “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!” 14 And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But he would not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 And the officials were angry at Jeremiah and they struck him. And they put him in prison,[i] in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for they had converted it to the prison[j]. 16 So Jeremiah came to the dungeon[k], even to the vaulted cells, and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched him. And the king questioned him in secrecy in his house, and he said, “Is there a word from Yahweh?” And Jeremiah said, “There is.” And he said, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What did I do wrong to you, or to your servants, or to this people, that you have put me in prison?[l] 19 And where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying,[m] ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’? 20 Now then, my lord the king, please let my plea fall before you.[n] You must not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, so that I will not die there.” 21 So King Zedekiah commanded, and they handed Jeremiah over in the courtyard of the guard, and they gave to him a round loaf of bread from the street of the bakers every day[o] until the finishing of all the bread from the city. And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.

Jeremiah in Prison
37 Zedekiah(A) son of Josiah was made king(B) of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin[a](C) son of Jehoiakim. 2 Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention(D) to the words the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3 King Zedekiah, however, sent(E) Jehukal(F) son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah(G) son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: “Please pray(H) to the Lord our God for us.”
4 Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.(I) 5 Pharaoh’s army had marched out of Egypt,(J) and when the Babylonians[b] who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew(K) from Jerusalem.(L)
6 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: 7 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(M) of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched(N) out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.(O) 8 Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture(P) it and burn(Q) it down.’
9 “This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive(R) yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not! 10 Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian[c] army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn(S) this city down.”
11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn(T) from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army, 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property(U) among the people there. 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate,(V) the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are deserting to the Babylonians!”(W)
14 “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested(X) Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten(Y) and imprisoned(Z) in the house(AA) of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.
16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. 17 Then King Zedekiah sent(AB) for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked(AC) him privately,(AD) “Is there any word from the Lord?”
“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “you will be delivered(AE) into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What crime(AF) have I committed against you or your attendants or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets(AG) who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’? 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”(AH)
21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread(AI) in the city was gone.(AJ) So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.(AK)
