Йеремия 31
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Възстановяване и благославяне на Ефрем и Юда
31 „В онова време, казва Господ, Аз ще бъда Бог на всичките родове на Израил и те ще бъдат Мой народ. 2 (A)Така казва Господ: ‘Народът, който оцеля от меча, ще намери милост в пустинята, когато Израил странства към своето място на почивка’.“ 3 (B)Господ ми се яви отдалече и рече: „Обикнах те с вечна любов, затова продължих да ти оказвам милост. 4 Отново ще те съградя и ще бдеш съградена, девице Израилева, отново ще се украсяваш с цимбали и ще излизаш на хорото на онези, които се веселят. 5 (C)Отново ще насаждаш лозя по хълмовете на Самария; а онези, които са ги насаждали, ще се радват на плода им. 6 Защото ще дойде ден, когато пазачите по Ефремовите планини ще викат: ‘Станете и да се изкачим на Сион при Господ, нашия Бог’.“
7 Защото така казва Господ: „Пейте с радост за Яков и славете събранието на народите. Оповестете, прославете и кажете: Спаси, Господи, Своя народ и остатъка от Израил. 8 Ето Аз ще ги доведа от северната земя и ще ги събера от краищата на земята: слепи и сакати заедно с тях, бременни и родилки – голямо множество ще се върне тука. 9 (D)С плач ще дойдат, но ще ги поведа с утеха и ще ги доведа при водни потоци по равен път, по който няма да се спънат, защото съм Отец на Израил и Ефрем е Мой първороден.“ 10 (E)Слушайте, народи, словото на Господ и разгласете по далечните острови, като казвате: „Който разпиля Израил, Той ще го върне, ще го събере и опази, както пастир – стадото си. 11 Защото Господ ще изкупи Яков, ще го избави от ръката на по-силния от него. 12 Те ще дойдат и ще тържествуват на височината Сион, и ще се стекат към благата Господни – към пшеницата, виното и маслиновото масло, към агнетата и добитъка. И душата им ще бъде като напоявана градина и няма да се измъчват вече. 13 (F)Тогава девицата ще се весели на хорото, също младежите и старците заедно. И ще обърна скръбта им в радост, ще ги утеша и ще ги развеселя след тяхната скръб. 14 И ще нахраня душата на свещениците, Моят народ ще бъде наситен с Моите блага, казва Господ.“
15 (G)Така казва Господ: „Глас се чува в Рама, писък и горчив плач. Рахил оплаква децата си и не иска да се утеши за тях, защото ги няма.“ 16 Така казва Господ: „Въздържай гласа си от ридания и очите си от сълзи, защото ще те възнаградя за твоите трудове, казва Господ; те ще се върнат от неприятелската страна. 17 Има и надежда за твоето бъдеще, казва Господ, и твоите синове ще се върнат в своите предели.
18 (H)Наистина, чувам Ефрем да оплаква съдбата си: Ти ме наказа и бях наказан като неукротено теле. Върни ме при Тебе и ще се обърна, защото Ти, Господи, си мой Бог. 19 Когато бях върнат, аз съжалих и като бях доведен до вразумяване, удрях се по бедрото. Засрамих се и бях смутен, защото носих укора на младостта си. 20 (I)Ефрем не Ми ли е скъп син? Не Ми ли е обична рожба? Защото колкото и да говоря против него, все още мисля за него. Затова се смущава душата Ми за него. Сигурно ще се смиля над него, казва Господ. 21 Постави си пътни знаци, отбележи си пътя със стълбове и насочи сърцето си към онзи път – към пътя, по който си ходила! Върни се, девице Израилева, върни се към тези твои градове. 22 Докога ще се скиташ насам-натам, дъще отстъпнице? Защото Господ ще извърши нещо ново на земята: жена ще обгърне с любов своя мъж.“
23 (J)Така казва Господ Вседържител, Бог на Израил: „Когато променя съдбите им, отново ще казват тези думи в земята на Юдея и в градовете ѝ: ‘Господ да те благослови, жилище на правдата, свята планина!’ 24 И ще населяват Юдея заедно с всичките ѝ градове, земеделци и онези, които ходят със стада. 25 (K)Защото ще дам сила на изнурената душа и ще наситя всяка изнемощяла душа.“ 26 След това се събудих и размислих – и моят сън ми беше приятен.
27 (L)„Ето идват дни, казва Господ, когато ще засея дома на Израил и Юдея с човешко семе и със семе на добитък. 28 (M)И както следях, за да изкоренявам и съкрушавам, да погубвам и разрушавам, така ще бдя над тях, за да градя и да насаждам, казва Господ. 29 (N)В онези дни няма да казват повече: ‘Бащите ядоха кисело грозде, а зъбите на децата им изтръпнаха, 30 но всеки ще умира поради собствената си вина. Всеки човек, който яде кисело грозде, неговите зъби ще изтръпнат’.“
Нов завет
31 (O)„Ето идват дни, казва Господ, и ще сключа нов завет с Израилевия дом и Юдовия дом; 32 не такъв завет, какъвто сключих с бащите им в деня, когато ги хванах за ръка, за да ги изведа от египетската земя; онзи мой завет те престъпиха, въпреки че бях техен господар, казва Господ. 33 (P)Но ето завета, който ще сключа с Израилевия дом след онези дни, казва Господ: ще вложа вътре у тях Своя закон и ще го напиша в сърцата им. И ще бъда техен Бог, а те ще бъдат Мой народ. 34 (Q)Тогава няма вече всеки да учи ближния си и всеки – брата си, като казват: ‘Познайте Господ!’, защото те всички ще Ме знаят – от малък до голям, казва Господ, защото ще простя беззаконията им и повече няма да си спомням греха им.“
35 (R)Така казва Господ, Който дава слънцето за светлина денем и разпорежда луната и звездите за светлина нощем, Който надига морето и вълните му бушуват. Господ Вседържител е името Му. 36 (S)„Ако тези наредби престанат да действат пред Мене, казва Господ, то и потомството на Израил ще престане да бъде Мой народ занапред.“ 37 Така казва Господ: „Ако може да се измери небето нагоре и основите на земята да се изследват надолу, то и Аз ще отхвърля цялото Израилево потомство за всичко, което извърши, казва Господ.“
38 „Ето идват дни, казва Господ, и градът ще бъде възстановен за слава на Господ – от кулата Хананел до ъгловите порти. 39 И землемерна връв ще се опъне към хълма Гареб, после ще завие към Гоа. 40 (T)И цялата долина на труповете и на жертвената пепел, и всичките терасирани полета до потока Кедрон, до ъгъла на Конската порта на изток ще бъде вече свята на Господ, няма да се разруши и няма да се съсипе за вечни времена.“
Jeremiah 31
King James Version
31 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
7 For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.
15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
38 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
Jeremiah 31
New King James Version
The Remnant of Israel Saved
31 “At (A)the same time,” says the Lord, (B)“I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
2 Thus says the Lord:
“The people who survived the sword
Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when (C)I went to give him rest.”
3 The Lord has appeared [a]of old to me, saying:
“Yes, (D)I have loved you with (E)an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have (F)drawn you.
4 Again (G)I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,
O virgin of Israel!
You shall again be adorned with your (H)tambourines,
And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
5 (I)You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria;
The planters shall plant and [b]eat them as ordinary food.
6 For there shall be a day
When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim,
(J)‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’ ”
7 For thus says the Lord:
(K)“Sing with gladness for Jacob,
And shout among the chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘O Lord, save Your people,
The remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I will bring them (L)from the north country,
And (M)gather them from the ends of the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child
And the one who labors with child, together;
A great throng shall return there.
9 (N)They shall come with weeping,
And with supplications I will lead them.
I will cause them to walk (O)by the rivers of waters,
In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;
For I am a Father to Israel,
And Ephraim is My (P)firstborn.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare it in the [c]isles afar off, and say,
‘He who scattered Israel (Q)will gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’
11 For (R)the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him (S)from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in (T)the height of Zion,
Streaming to (U)the goodness of the Lord—
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a (V)well-watered garden,
(W)And they shall sorrow no more at all.
13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
14 I will [d]satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord.”
Mercy on Ephraim
15 Thus says the Lord:
(X)“A voice was heard in (Y)Ramah,
Lamentation and bitter (Z)weeping,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted for her children,
Because (AA)they are no more.”
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Refrain your voice from (AB)weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
17 There is (AC)hope in your future, says the Lord,
That your children shall come back to their own border.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself:
‘You have (AD)chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained bull;
(AE)Restore me, and I will return,
For You are the Lord my God.
19 Surely, (AF)after my turning, I repented;
And after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh;
I was (AG)ashamed, yes, even humiliated,
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
20 Is Ephraim My dear son?
Is he a pleasant child?
For though I spoke against him,
I earnestly remember him still;
(AH)Therefore My [e]heart yearns for him;
(AI)I will surely have mercy on him, says the Lord.
21 “Set up signposts,
Make landmarks;
(AJ)Set your heart toward the highway,
The way in which you went.
[f]Turn back, O virgin of Israel,
Turn back to these your cities.
22 How long will you (AK)gad about,
O you (AL)backsliding daughter?
For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—
A woman shall encompass a man.”
Future Prosperity of Judah
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “They shall again use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring back their captivity: (AM)‘The Lord bless you, O home of justice, and (AN)mountain of holiness!’ 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and (AO)in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks. 25 For I have [g]satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was (AP)sweet to me.
27 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that (AQ)I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass, that as I have (AR)watched over them (AS)to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them (AT)to build and to plant, says the Lord. 29 (AU)In those days they shall say no more:
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
30 (AV)But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
A New Covenant
31 “Behold, the (AW)days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that (AX)I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, [h]though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 (AY)But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: (AZ)I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their [i]hearts; (BA)and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for (BB)they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For (BC)I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
35 Thus says the Lord,
(BD)Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs (BE)the sea,
And its waves roar
(BF)(The Lord of hosts is His name):
36 “If (BG)those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
37 Thus says the Lord:
(BH)“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also (BI)cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.
38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord (BJ)from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 (BK)The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, (BL)to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, (BM)shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
