Йеремия 5
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
5 (A)„Походете по йерусалимските улици, разузнайте и потърсете по площадите на Йерусалим дали ще се намери някой да действа справедливо, който да търси истината, и Аз ще му простя. 2 Но ако и да казват ‘Жив е Господ’, лъжливо се кълнат.“ 3 (B)Господи, очите Ти не търсят ли истината? Наказал си ги, но не ги заболя; унищожаваш ги, но не се поправят. Направиха лицата си по-твърди от скала и не желаят да се обърнат. 4 Тогава аз си казах: „Наистина те са незначителни, тъй като не познават пътя на Господа, разпоредбата на своя Бог.“ 5 (C)Ще отида при големците и ще говоря с тях, понеже те познават пътя Господен, закона на своя Бог. Но и те са строшили ярема, разкъсали са оковите. 6 Поради това лъв от гората ще ги порази, степен вълк ще ги убие, леопард ще дебне край градовете им. Всеки, който излезе оттам, ще бъде разкъсан, защото се умножиха престъпленията им: тежки са отстъпничествата им.
7 „Защо да ти простя? Твоите синове Ме изоставиха и се кълняха в лъжливи богове. Когато се насищаха, изневеряваха Ми и на тълпи отиваха в блуднишката къща. 8 Те са като охранени коне: всеки цвили към жената на ближния си. 9 (D)Нима няма да накажа за това – казва Господ – и душата Ми няма да въздаде на такъв народ? 10 (E)Качете се на стените му и събаряйте, но не ги унищожавайте докрай. Унищожете зъберите му, понеже не са Господни, 11 тъй като Израилевият дом и домът на Юдея отстъпиха от Мене твърде вероломно“ – казва Господ. 12 (F)„Те се отрекоха от Господа и казаха: ‘Той не е тук и няма да ни постигне беда, и няма да видим нито меч, нито глад. 13 А пророците са вятър и словото[a] не е в тях. Така над тях ще се сбъдне това.’
14 (G)Затова така казва Господ, Бог Вседържител: ‘Понеже изговарят тези думи, ето ще направя словото Си в твоята уста огън, а този народ – дърва, и този огън ще ги погълне. 15 (H)Ето ще доведа върху вас, доме Израилев, един народ отдалече – казва Господ, – един силен народ, един древен народ, чийто език не знаеш и не разбираш какво говорят. 16 Колчанът му е като отворен гроб. Те всички са храбри хора. 17 И ще изядат твоята жътва и твоя хляб, ще унищожат твоите синове и дъщерите ти, ще изядат дребния и едрия ти добитък, ще изядат твоите лозя и смоковниците ти; с меч ще разбият укрепените ти градове, на които се уповаваш.
18 Но и в онези дни – казва Господ – няма да ви премахна докрай. 19 (I)И когато се случи да попитат: «Защо Господ, нашият Бог, ни направи всичко това?» – тогава им кажи: «Както Ме изоставихте и служехте на чужди богове във вашата страна, така ще слугувате на чужденци не във вашата земя.»
20 (J)Известете това на дома на Яков и разгласете в Юдея, като казвате: 21 (K)«Чуй това сега, народе глупав и неразумен, който има очи, а не вижда, уши има, а не чува! 22 (L)Не се ли боите от Мене – казва Господ, – не треперите ли пред Мене, Който поставих пясъка за граница на морето, вечен предел, който не бива да се преминава? Може вълните му да бушуват и няма да успеят, и да реват, но няма да го прехвърлят.» 23 Но този народ има буйно и непокорно сърце – отклониха се от пътя и тръгнаха. 24 (M)Не казват в сърцето си: «Нека все пак се боим от Господа, нашия Бог, Който навреме ни дава дъжд – ранен и късен, Който пази за нас определените седмици за жътва.» 25 Вашите беззакония обърнаха този порядък и вашите грехове отстраниха доброто.
26 Защото между Моя народ има нечестиви. Те дебнат, снишават се като ловци на птици, поставят примка да хванат човеците. 27 Както клетка се изпълва с птици, така домовете им са пълни с измама, чрез която се издигнаха и забогатяха, 28 затлъстяха, угоиха се, дори преминаха всякаква мярка на злото; не отсъждат правото на сираци, не отсъждат справедливите дела на сиромаси. 29 (N)Няма ли да накажа за това? – казва Господ. Няма ли да въздам на такъв народ?
30 Нещо изумяващо и ужасно става в тази страна. 31 (O)Пророците пророкуват лъжи, свещениците господстват чрез тях, а Моят народ обича това. Но какво ще правите накрая след всичко това?’“

Jeremia 5
Schlachter 1951
Herausforderungen und Strafgericht
5 Streifet durch die Gassen Jerusalems
und sehet doch nach und erkundigt euch und forschet nach auf ihren Plätzen,
ob ihr einen Mann findet, ob einer da sei,
der Recht übt und sich der Wahrhaftigkeit befleißigt;
so will ich ihr vergeben!
2 Aber wenn sie auch sagen: „So wahr der Herr lebt!“
so schwören sie dennoch falsch.
3 Herr, sehen deine Augen nicht auf Wahrhaftigkeit?
Du hast sie geschlagen, aber es tat ihnen nicht weh;
du hast sie fast aufgerieben, aber sie wollten keine Zucht annehmen;
sie machten ihr Angesicht härter als Fels,
sie wollten nicht umkehren!
4 Ich aber dachte: Nur die Geringen sind so;
sie benehmen sich so töricht, weil sie den Weg des Herrn,
das Recht ihres Gottes nicht kennen.
5 Ich will doch zu den Großen gehen und mit ihnen reden;
denn sie kennen den Weg des Herrn,
das Recht ihres Gottes!
Aber sie hatten allesamt das Joch zerbrochen,
die Bande zerrissen.
6 Darum schlägt sie der Löwe aus dem Wald,
überfällt sie der Steppenwolf;
der Pardel lauert an ihren Städten,
so daß, wer sie verläßt, zerrissen wird;
denn ihrer Übertretungen sind viele,
und groß sind ihre Abweichungen!
7 Wie wollte ich dir solches vergeben?
Deine Kinder haben mich verlassen
und bei Nichtgöttern geschworen;
und nachdem ich sie gesättigt hatte, brachen sie die Ehe
und drängten sich scharenweise ins Hurenhaus!
8 Wie brünstige Hengste schweifen sie umher;
jeder wiehert nach seines nächsten Eheweib.
9 Sollte ich solches ungestraft lassen, spricht der Herr,
und sollte sich meine Seele an einem solchen Volke nicht rächen?
10 Besteiget ihre Mauern und verderbet,
aber den Garaus machet nicht!
Schneidet ihre Schosse ab;
denn dem Herrn gehören sie nicht!
11 Denn gar treulos haben das Haus Israel und das Haus Juda an mir gehandelt,
spricht der Herr.
12 Sie haben den Herrn verleugnet und gesagt: Nicht Er ist's!
Kein Unglück wird über uns kommen;
weder Schwert noch Hungersnot werden wir zu sehen bekommen!
13 Und die Propheten sind nur Windbeutel,
und niemand redet durch sie;
ihnen selbst ergehe es so!
14 Darum spricht der Herr, der Gott der Heerscharen:
Weil ihr das gesagt habt,
siehe, so will ich meine Worte in deinem Munde zu einem Feuer
und dieses Volk zu Holz machen, daß es sie verzehren soll.
15 Siehe, ich bringe über euch, du Haus Israel, ein Volk von ferne her -
spricht der Herr -,
ein zähes Volk, ein uraltes Volk,
ein Volk, dessen Sprache du nicht kennst
und dessen Rede du nicht verstehst.
16 Sein Köcher ist wie ein offenes Grab;
und aus lauter Helden besteht es.
17 Es wird deine Ernte und dein Brot verzehren,
deine Söhne und deine Töchter,
deine Schafe und deine Rinder fressen;
es wird deinen Weinstock und deinen Feigenbaum abfressen;
und deine festen Städte, darauf du dich verlässest, wird es mit dem Schwerte erobern.
18 Aber auch in jenen Tagen, spricht der Herr,
will ich euch nicht den Garaus machen.
19 Und wenn es dann geschieht, daß ihr fragt:
„Weshalb hat der Herr, unser Gott, uns das alles angetan?“
so sollst du ihnen antworten: „Gleichwie ihr mich verlassen und in eurem Lande fremden Göttern gedient habt,
so müßt ihr auch jetzt Fremden dienen in einem Lande, das nicht euch gehört!“
20 Verkündiget solches im Hause Jakob
und laßt es hören in Juda und sprechet:
21 „Höre doch dies, du törichtes, unverständiges Volk,
die ihr Augen habt und doch nicht seht,
die ihr Ohren habt und doch nicht hört!“
22 Mich wollt ihr nicht fürchten, spricht der Herr,
vor mir nicht erzittern,
der ich dem Meere den Sand zur Grenze gesetzt habe,
zur ewigen Schranke, die es nicht überschreiten darf?
Wenn sich seine Wogen auch dagegen auflehnen, so sind sie doch machtlos;
wenn auch seine Wellen toben, können sie dieselben nicht überschreiten.
23 Aber dieses Volk hat ein halsstarriges, aufrührerisches Herz;
sie haben sich abgewandt und sind davongelaufen
24 und haben in ihrem Herzen nicht gedacht:
Wir wollen doch den Herrn, unsern Gott, fürchten,
der den Regen gibt,
Früh- und Spätregen zu seiner Zeit,
der die bestimmten Wochen der Ernte für uns einhält.
25 Eure Missetaten haben diese Dinge abgelenkt,
und eure Sünden haben den Segen von euch zurückgehalten.
26 Denn unter meinem Volke finden sich Gottlose;
sie liegen auf der Lauer, ducken sich wie Vogelsteller;
sie stellen Fallen, um Menschen zu fangen.
27 Wie ein Käfig voller Vögel geworden ist,
so haben sich ihre Häuser mit Betrug gefüllt;
auf solche Weise sind sie groß und reich geworden!
28 Sie glänzen vor Fett;
auch fließen sie über von bösen Reden.
Für das Recht sorgen sie nicht,
für das Recht der Waisen, um ihnen zum Siege zu verhelfen,
und die Rechtssache der Armen führen sie nicht.
29 Sollte ich solches ungestraft lassen? spricht der Herr.
Sollte sich meine Seele an einem solchen Volke nicht rächen?
30 Entsetzliches und Abscheuliches
geschieht im Lande:
31 Die Propheten weissagen falsch,
und die Priester herrschen mit ihrer Unterstützung;
und mein Volk liebt es so!
Was wollt ihr aber tun, wenn das Ende davon kommt?
Jeremiah 5
King James Version
5 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Jeremiah 5
New King James Version
The Justice of God’s Judgment
5 “Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem;
See now and know;
And seek in her open places
(A)If you can find a man,
(B)If there is anyone who executes [a]judgment,
Who seeks the truth,
(C)And I will pardon her.
2 (D)Though they say, ‘As (E)the Lord lives,’
Surely they (F)swear falsely.”
3 O Lord, are not (G)Your eyes on the truth?
You have (H)stricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But (I)they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For (J)they do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For (K)they have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether (L)broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
6 Therefore (M)a lion from the forest shall slay them,
(N)A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
(O)A leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.
7 “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And (P)sworn by those (Q)that are not gods.
(R)When I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 (S)They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
Every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“And shall I not (T)avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
10 “Go up on her walls and destroy,
But do not [b]make a (U)complete end.
Take away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.
11 For (V)the house of Israel and the house of Judah
Have dealt very treacherously with Me,” says the Lord.
12 (W)They have lied about the Lord,
And said, (X)“It is not He.
(Y)Neither will [c]evil come upon us,
Nor shall we see sword or famine.
13 And the prophets become wind,
For the word is not in them.
Thus shall it be done to them.”
14 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts:
“Because you speak this word,
(Z)Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire,
And this people wood,
And it shall devour them.
15 Behold, I will bring a (AA)nation against you (AB)from afar,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
“It is a mighty nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16 Their quiver is like an open tomb;
They are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up your (AC)harvest and your bread,
Which your sons and daughters should eat.
They shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.
18 “Nevertheless in those days,” says the Lord, “I (AD)will not [d]make a complete end of you. 19 And it will be when you say, (AE)‘Why does the Lord our God do all these things to us?’ then you shall answer them, ‘Just as you have (AF)forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so (AG)you shall serve aliens in a land that is not yours.’
20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob
And proclaim it in Judah, saying,
21 ‘Hear this now, O (AH)foolish people,
Without [e]understanding,
Who have eyes and see not,
And who have ears and hear not:
22 (AI)Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord.
‘Will you not tremble at My presence,
Who have placed the sand as the (AJ)bound of the sea,
By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it?
And though its waves toss to and fro,
Yet they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
23 But this people has a defiant and rebellious heart;
They have revolted and departed.
24 They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
(AK)Who gives rain, both the (AL)former and the latter, in its season.
(AM)He reserves for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”
25 (AN)Your iniquities have turned these things away,
And your sins have withheld good from you.
26 ‘For among My people are found wicked men;
They (AO)lie in wait as one who sets snares;
They set a trap;
They catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds,
So their houses are full of deceit.
Therefore they have become great and grown rich.
28 They have grown (AP)fat, they are sleek;
Yes, they [f]surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead (AQ)the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
(AR)Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.
29 (AS)Shall I not punish them for these things?’ says the Lord.
‘Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?’
30 “An astonishing and (AT)horrible thing
Has been committed in the land:
31 The prophets prophesy (AU)falsely,
And the priests rule by their own power;
And My people (AV)love to have it so.
But what will you do in the end?
