'Йеремия 8 ' not found for the version: Bulgarian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

(A)„В онова време – казва Господ – ще изхвърлят от гробниците костите на царете на Юдея и костите на техните сановници, и костите на свещениците, и костите на пророците, и костите на жителите на Йерусалим. (B)И ще ги разпръснат пред слънцето и луната и пред цялото небесно войнство, които те са обичали и на които са служели, и които са следвали, и които са търсели, и на които са се покланяли. Няма да ги съберат и няма да ги погребат. Ще бъдат за тор на земята. И смъртта ще бъде предпочитана пред живота от всички останали, които са оцелели от този злодеен род по всички останали места, където ги изгоня“ – казва Господ Вседържител.

Незачитането на Божията воля води към разруха

Тогава им кажи: „Така казва Господ: ‘Онези, които паднат, няма ли да станат? И който се отклони, няма ли да се върне? Защо се отклони този народ – Йерусалим – в упорито отстъпничество? Те здраво се придържат към измамата, така че отказват да се върнат. Заслушах се и чух, че не говорят право, никой не се разкайва за злините си, казвайки: «Какво сторих?» Всеки се впуска по своя път като кон, който се втурва в битка. (C)Дори щъркелът в небето знае своите определени сезони и гургулицата, лястовицата и жеравът спазват времето на идването си, а Моят народ не познава закона на Господа. Как казвате: «Ние сме мъдри и законът на Господа е с нас»? А ето лъжливото перо на книжовниците го е обърнало в лъжа. Мъдрите ще бъдат посрамени, ще бъдат уплашени и хванати в мрежа. Ето те отхвърлиха словото на Господа, тогава в какво е мъдростта им? 10 (D)Затова ще отдам жените им на други, полята им – на други собственици. Защото всеки, от малък до голям, се е предал на користолюбие. От пророк до свещеник – всеки постъпва лъжливо. 11 (E)И лекуват раната на дъщерята на народа Ми повърхностно, като казват: «Мир, мир!», а мир няма. 12 Срамуват ли се, когато вършат отвратителни неща? Не, никак не ги е срам и не знаят да се изчервяват. Затова ще паднат между падналите, ще бъдат повалени по време на посещението Ми. 13 Ще ги изтребя докрай – казва Господ. Няма да останат гроздове на лозата, нито смокини на смоковницата. И шумата ще повехне, и което съм им дал, ще си отиде.’“

Пророк Йеремия оплаква настъпващата разруха

14 (F)Народът казва: „Защо седим ние? Съберете се и да отидем в укрепените градове и да загинем там, тъй като Господ, нашият Бог, ни е определил за гибел и ни е напоил с горчива вода, понеже сме съгрешили пред Господа.“ 15 (G)Надяваме се за мир, а няма добро, на време за изцеление, а има ужас. 16 От Дан се чува пръхтенето на конете му към врага, цялата земя се разтресе от цвиленията на силните му коне. Те идват и ще опустошат страната и всичко по нея, града и онези, които живеят в него. 17 (H)„Защото ето Аз изпращам срещу вас змии, усойници, които не могат да се омаят и ще ви хапят“ – казва Господ.

18 (I)Тогава аз казах: „Кога бих се утешил в скръбта, сърцето ми е изнемощяло.“ 19 „Ето гласа на дъщерята на Моя народ от далечна страна“ – говори Господ: „Не е ли Господ на Сион? Неговият Цар не е ли в него? Защо Ме гневят с техните идоли, с чуждите нищожества?“ 20 „Премина жътвата, свърши лятото, но ние не сме спасени – си казвам. 21 Поради съкрушението на моя народ съм съкрушен, ходя мрачен, ужас ме обзе. 22 Няма ли балсам в Галаад? Няма ли лекар там? Защо не идва изцеление за дъщерята на моя народ?“

23 [a] О, ако моята глава бе пълна с вода, очите ми биха били извор на сълзи! Тогава бих плакал ден и нощ за убитите от своя народ.

  1. 8:23 В Синодалната и Цариградската Библия 8:23 е 9:1.

At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves; and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one [a]turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle. Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah.

How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath [b]wrought falsely. The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 11 And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah. 13 I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [c]the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us [d]be silent there; for Jehovah our God hath [e]put us to silence, and given us water of [f]gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah. 15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay! 16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those that dwell therein. 17 For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

18 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me. 19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people [g]from a land that is very far off: Is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities? 20 The harvest is past, the [h]summer is ended, and we are not saved. 21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay hath taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then is not the [i]health of the daughter of my people [j]recovered?

“‘At that time, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones(A) of the people of Jerusalem will be removed(B) from their graves. They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served(C) and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped.(D) They will not be gathered up or buried,(E) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(F) Wherever I banish them,(G) all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life,(H) declares the Lord Almighty.’

Sin and Punishment

“Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says:

“‘When people fall down, do they not get up?(I)
    When someone turns away,(J) do they not return?
Why then have these people turned away?
    Why does Jerusalem always turn away?
They cling to deceit;(K)
    they refuse to return.(L)
I have listened(M) attentively,
    but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent(N) of their wickedness,
    saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course(O)
    like a horse charging into battle.
Even the stork in the sky
    knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
    observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know(P)
    the requirements of the Lord.

“‘How can you say, “We are wise,
    for we have the law(Q) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
    has handled it falsely?
The wise(R) will be put to shame;
    they will be dismayed(S) and trapped.(T)
Since they have rejected the word(U) of the Lord,
    what kind of wisdom(V) do they have?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men
    and their fields to new owners.(W)
From the least to the greatest,
    all are greedy for gain;(X)
prophets(Y) and priests alike,
    all practice deceit.(Z)
11 They dress the wound of my people
    as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
    when there is no peace.(AA)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame(AB) at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when they are punished,(AC)
says the Lord.(AD)

13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
    There will be no grapes on the vine.(AE)
There will be no figs(AF) on the tree,
    and their leaves will wither.(AG)
What I have given them
    will be taken(AH) from them.[a]’”

14 Why are we sitting here?
    Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(AI)
    and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
    and given us poisoned water(AJ) to drink,
    because we have sinned(AK) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(AL)
    but no good has come,
for a time of healing
    but there is only terror.(AM)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(AN)
    is heard from Dan;(AO)
at the neighing of their stallions
    the whole land trembles.(AP)
They have come to devour(AQ)
    the land and everything in it,
    the city and all who live there.

17 “See, I will send venomous snakes(AR) among you,
    vipers that cannot be charmed,(AS)
    and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.

18 You who are my Comforter[b] in sorrow,
    my heart is faint(AT) within me.
19 Listen to the cry of my people
    from a land far away:(AU)
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
    Is her King(AV) no longer there?”

“Why have they aroused(AW) my anger with their images,
    with their worthless(AX) foreign idols?”(AY)

20 “The harvest is past,
    the summer has ended,
    and we are not saved.”

21 Since my people are crushed,(AZ) I am crushed;
    I mourn,(BA) and horror grips me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead?(BB)
    Is there no physician(BC) there?
Why then is there no healing(BD)
    for the wound of my people?

  2. Jeremiah 8:18 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

耶和華說:「那時,猶大王、首領、祭司、先知及耶路撒冷居民的骸骨都要從墳墓中被挖出來, 拋散在他們昔日戀慕、供奉、追隨、求問、祭拜的日月星辰之下,無人收殮和埋葬,他們好像地上的糞便。 我要把這邪惡民族的餘民流放異地,他們在那裡必痛不欲生。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」

耶和華吩咐我對猶大人說:
「人跌倒後難道不站起來嗎?
人走錯了路難道不回頭嗎?
為什麼耶路撒冷的居民一味地背叛我?
他們詭詐成性,不肯回頭。
我仔細聽,沒有人說實話,
沒有人為自己的惡行後悔,說,
『我做了可怕的事!』
人人一意孤行,
像戰馬直奔戰場。
天空的鸛鳥尚且知道來去的季節,
斑鳩、燕子和白鶴也遵守遷徙的時間,
但我的子民卻不認識耶和華的法則。

「你們怎能說,『我們有智慧,
因為我們有耶和華的律法』?
事實上,律法教師撒謊的筆把律法篡改了。
智者必蒙羞辱,受驚嚇,
被捉拿。
看啊,他們既棄掉耶和華的話,
哪裡還有智慧可言呢?
10 因此,我要把他們的妻子和田地交給別人,
因為他們無論貴賤,
個個貪圖不義之財;
無論是先知還是祭司,
都行為詭詐。
11 他們敷衍了事地醫治我子民的傷痛,說,
『沒事了,沒事了!』
其實情況很糟。
12 他們做可憎的事會羞愧嗎?
不!他們不知廉恥,
毫不臉紅。
因此,他們要與其他人一樣滅亡,
死在我的懲罰下。
這是耶和華說的。
13 我要徹底滅絕他們。
葡萄樹必沒有葡萄,
無花果樹必沒有果子,
樹葉也要枯乾,
我所賜給他們的都要被奪走。
這是耶和華說的。」

14 他們說:「我們為什麼還坐在這裡?
大家一起進入堅城,死在那裡吧!
我們的上帝耶和華要毀滅我們,
給我們毒藥喝,
因為我們得罪了祂。
15 我們期待平安,
卻沒有平安;
渴望得到醫治,
卻飽受驚嚇。

16 「從但傳來敵人戰馬的嘶鳴,
聲音震動大地。
他們要來吞滅我們的土地和作物、城邑和居民。

17 「看啊,我要派毒蛇去咬你們,
法術無法制伏牠們。」
這是耶和華說的。
18 我有無限憂愁,傷心欲絕。
19 聽啊!遠處傳來我同胞的哀鳴:
「難道耶和華不在錫安了嗎?
難道她的王不在她那裡了嗎?」
耶和華說:「他們為什麼供奉雕刻的神像和外族無用的偶像,惹我發怒?」
20 他們說:「麥收已完,
夏季已過,
但我們還未得救。」
21 同胞的創傷令我傷心欲絕,
痛苦萬分,
驚慌失措。
22 難道基列沒有藥物、
沒有醫生嗎?
為什麼我同胞的創傷至今未癒?
