Иеремия 32
New Russian Translation
Иеремия покупает поле во время осады
32 Вот слово Господне, которое было к Иеремии в десятом году правления Цедекии[a], царя Иудеи – это был восемнадцатый год правления Навуходоносора. 2 Войско вавилонского царя осаждало Иерусалим, а пророк Иеремия был заключен в темницу при дворце царя Иудеи.
3 Цедекия, царь Иудеи, заключил его там, сказав:
– Зачем ты так пророчествуешь? Ты говоришь: «Так говорит Господь: Я отдам этот город царю Вавилона, и он захватит его. 4 Цедекия, царь Иудеи, не спасется от рук халдеев; его непременно отдадут вавилонскому царю, и он увидит его собственными глазами и будет разговаривать с ним лицом к лицу. 5 Он возьмет Цедекию в Вавилон, где тот останется, пока Я не позабочусь о нем. Если будешь воевать против халдеев, то не преуспеешь».
6 Иеремия сказал:
– Ко мне было слово Господне: 7 «Ханамел, сын твоего дяди Шаллума, придет к тебе и скажет: „Купи мое поле в Анатоте, потому что ты – ближайший родственник, и у тебя есть право и обязанность купить его“».
8 Потом, как и сказал Господь, мой двоюродный брат Ханамел пришел ко мне в темницу и сказал:
– Купи мое поле в Анатоте, что в земле Вениамина. Ты имеешь право выкупить его и владеть им, так купи его себе.
Я знал, что таково было слово Господне, 9 и купил поле в Анатоте у моего двоюродного брата Ханамела, отвесив ему семнадцать шекелей[b] серебра. 10 Я подписал купчую, приложил к ней свою печать, пригласил свидетелей и отвесил серебро на весах. 11 Я взял купчую – запечатанную копию с договором и его условиями и незапечатанную – 12 и отдал эту купчую Баруху, сыну Нирии, сына Махсеи, в присутствии моего двоюродного брата Ханамела, свидетелей, которые ее подписали, и всех иудеев, которые находились во дворе темницы.
13 В их присутствии Я дал Баруху такое повеление: 14 «Так говорит Господь Сил, Бог Израиля: „Возьми эти грамоты – запечатанную копию купчей и незапечатанную – и положи их в глиняный кувшин, чтобы они могли храниться долго. 15 Ведь так говорит Господь Сил, Бог Израиля: В этой стране будут снова покупать дома, поля и виноградники“».
16 Отдав купчую Баруху, сыну Нирии, я помолился Господу:
17 – О Владыка Господь! Ты создал небеса и землю Своей великой силой и простертой рукой. Нет ничего невозможного для Тебя. 18 Ты являешь милость тысячам, но воздаешь за вину родителей их детям после них. О великий и могучий Бог, Чье имя – Господь Сил, 19 Твои намерения величественны и Твои дела велики. Твои глаза раскрыты на все пути человека; Ты воздаешь каждому за его путь, по плодам дел его. 20 Ты совершил знамения и чудеса в Египте и творил их доныне и в Израиле, и среди всего человеческого рода, и приобретал Себе славу, которая принадлежит Тебе и сегодня. 21 Знамениями и чудесами, могучей дланью, простертой рукой и великим страхом Ты вывел Свой народ Израиль из египетской земли. 22 Ты отдал им эту землю, которую клялся отдать их отцам, землю, где течет молоко и мед. 23 Они вошли в нее и завладели ею, но не слушали Тебя и не жили по Твоему Закону; они не делали того, что Ты повелевал им. За это Ты наслал на них всю эту беду.
24 Видишь, как насыпают осадные валы, чтобы взять город. Из-за меча, голода и мора город достанется халдеям, которые напали на нас. То, что Ты сказал, исполнилось, и вот, Ты видишь это. 25 Ты, Владыка Господь, говорил мне: «Купи себе поле за серебро и пригласи для сделки свидетелей», но ведь город переходит в руки халдеев.
26 И было слово Господне к Иеремии:
27 – Я – Господь, Бог всех людей. Есть ли что-нибудь невозможное для Меня? 28 Поэтому так говорит Господь: Я отдам этот город халдеям и Навуходоносору, царю Вавилона, который захватит его. 29 Халдеи, которые воюют с этим городом, придут и предадут его огню; они сожгут его дотла с домами, на крышах которых народ возжигал благовония Баалу и совершал жертвенные возлияния чужим богам, вызывая Мой гнев.
30 Народ Израиля и Иудеи с юности делал лишь зло в Моих глазах; да, народ Израиля лишь вызывал Мой гнев делами своих рук, – возвещает Господь. – 31 Со дня его основания до сегодняшнего дня этот город вызвал у Меня такой гнев и негодование, что Я отвергну его от Себя. 32 Народ Израиля и Иудеи вызывал Мой гнев всем злом, которое он делал – они сами, их цари и вельможи, их священники и пророки, жители Иудеи и горожане Иерусалима. 33 Они повернулись ко Мне спиной, а не лицом; Я наставлял их снова и снова, но они не слушали и не принимали наставлений. 34 Они поставили свои мерзости в доме, который называется Моим именем, и осквернили его. 35 Они построили святилища Баалу на возвышенностях в долине Бен-Гинном, чтобы приносить своих сыновей и дочерей в огненную жертву Молоху[c], хотя Я не повелевал этого; Мне даже на ум не приходило, что они должны делать такую мерзость и вводить Иудею в грех.
36 Вы говорите об этом городе: «Из-за меча, голода и мора он достанется царю Вавилона», но так говорит Господь, Бог Израиля: 37 Я непременно соберу их из всех земель, в которые Я изгнал их в гневе, ярости и страшном негодовании; Я приведу их обратно в этот край и дам им жить в безопасности. 38 Они будут Моим народом, а Я буду их Богом. 39 Я дам им одно сердце и один путь – всегда чтить Меня на благо себе и своим потомкам. 40 Я заключу с ними вечный завет, по которому Я не перестану делать для них добро и вдохновлять их, чтобы они чтили Меня, чтобы они никогда больше не отвернулись от Меня. 41 Я с радостью буду делать для них добро и непременно насажу их на этой земле от всего сердца и от всей души.
42 Ведь так говорит Господь:
– Как Я навел на этот народ всю эту страшную беду, так Я пошлю им и все благоденствие, которое Я им обещал. 43 И снова будут покупать поля в этой стране, о который вы говорите: «Это разоренный край без людей и животных; он был отдан в руки халдеев». 44 Поля будут покупать за серебро и будут подписывать купчие, ставить на них печати и приглашать к ним свидетелей в землях Вениамина, в окрестностях Иерусалима и в городах нагорий, западных предгорий и Негева, потому что Я восстановлю их, – возвещает Господь.

Jeremiah 32
New King James Version
Jeremiah Buys a Field
32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord (A)in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up (B)in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you (C)prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord: (D)“Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4 and Zedekiah king of Judah (E)shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him [a]face to face, and see him (F)eye to eye; 5 then he shall (G)lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall be (H)until I visit him,” says the Lord; (I)“though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed” ’?”
6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the (J)right of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’ 8 Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. 9 So I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and (K)weighed out to him the money—seventeen shekels of silver. 10 And I signed the [b]deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales. 11 So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; 12 and I gave the purchase deed to (L)Baruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the (M)witnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
13 “Then I charged (N)Baruch before them, saying, 14 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take these deeds, both this purchase deed which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.” 15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards shall be (O)possessed again in this land.” ’
Jeremiah Prays for Understanding
16 “Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, (P)You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. (Q)There is nothing too [c]hard for You. 18 You show (R)lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them—the Great, (S)the Mighty God, whose name is (T)the Lord of hosts. 19 You are (U)great in counsel and mighty in [d]work, for Your (V)eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, (W)to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. 20 You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, to this day, and in Israel and among other men; and You have made Yourself (X)a name, as it is this day. 21 You (Y)have brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 You have given them this land, of which You swore to their fathers to give them—(Z)“a land flowing with milk and honey.” 23 And they came in and took possession of it, but (AA)they have not obeyed Your voice or walked in Your law. They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have caused all this calamity to come upon them.
24 ‘Look, the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it; and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of (AB)the sword and famine and pestilence. What You have spoken has happened; there You see it! 25 And You have said to me, O Lord God, “Buy the field for money, and take witnesses”!—yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
God’s Assurance of the People’s Return
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the (AC)God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? 28 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it. 29 And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and (AD)set fire to this city and burn it, with the houses (AE)on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger; 30 because the children of Israel and the children of Judah (AF)have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have provoked Me only to anger with the work of their hands,’ says the Lord. 31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; (AG)so I will remove it from before My face 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger—(AH)they, their kings, their princes, their priests, (AI)their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 And they have turned to Me the (AJ)back, and not the face; though I taught them, (AK)rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction. 34 But they (AL)set their abominations in [e]the house which is called by My name, to defile it. 35 And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to (AM)cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to (AN)Molech, (AO)which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.’
36 “Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: 37 Behold, I will (AP)gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them (AQ)to dwell safely. 38 They shall be (AR)My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will (AS)give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And (AT)I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but (AU)I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, (AV)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and (AW)I will [f]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
42 “For thus says the Lord: (AX)‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43 And fields will be bought in this land (AY)of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” 44 Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in (AZ)the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the [g]lowland, and in the cities of the [h]South; for (BA)I will cause their captives to return,’ says the Lord.”

Jeremiah’s Land Purchase
32 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.(B) 2 At that time, the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the guard’s courtyard(C) in the palace of the king of Judah. 3 Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying, ‘This is what the Lord says: Look, I am about to hand this city over to Babylon’s king, and he will capture it. 4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the Chaldeans; indeed, he will certainly be handed over to Babylon’s king. They will speak face to face[a] and meet eye to eye.(D) 5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon where he will stay until I attend to him’—this is the Lord’s declaration. ‘You will fight the Chaldeans, but you will not succeed’?”(E)
6 Jeremiah replied, “The word of the Lord came to me: 7 Watch! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy my field in Anathoth(F) for yourself, for you own the right of redemption(G) to buy it.’
8 “Then my cousin Hanamel came to the guard’s courtyard as the Lord had said and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. 9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out to him the money(H)—17 shekels[b] of silver. 10 I recorded it on a scroll,(I) sealed it, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver in the scales. 11 I took the purchase agreement—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions and the open copy— 12 and gave the purchase agreement to Baruch(J) son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the sight of my cousin[c] Hanamel, the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement, and all the Judeans sitting in the guard’s courtyard.
13 “I instructed Baruch in their sight, 14 ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these scrolls—this purchase agreement with the sealed copy and this open copy—and put them in an earthen storage jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’(K)
16 “After I had given the purchase agreement to Baruch, son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord: 17 Oh, Lord God! You Yourself made the heavens and earth(L) by Your great power(M) and with Your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You! 18 You show faithful love to thousands but lay the fathers’ sins on their sons’ laps after them,(N) great and mighty God(O) whose name is Yahweh of Hosts, 19 the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men in order to give to each person according to his ways and the result of his deeds.(P) 20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt(Q) and do so to this very day both in Israel and among mankind. You made a name(R) for Yourself, as is the case today. 21 You brought Your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.(S) 22 You gave them this land You swore to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(T) 23 They entered and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or live according to Your instructions.(U) They failed to perform all You commanded them to do,(V) and so You have brought all this disaster on them. 24 Look! Siege ramps(W) have come against the city to capture it, and the city, as a result of the sword, famine, and plague, has been handed over to the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened. Look, You can see it! 25 Yet You, Lord God, have said to me: Buy the field with silver and call in witnesses—even though the city has been handed over to the Chaldeans!”
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “Look, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh.(X) Is anything too difficult for Me? 28 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the Chaldeans,(Y) to Babylon’s king Nebuchadnezzar, and he will capture it. 29 The Chaldeans who are going to fight against this city will come, set this city on fire, and burn it along with the houses where incense has been burned to Baal on their rooftops and where drink offerings have been poured out to other gods to provoke Me to anger.(Z) 30 From their youth, the Israelites and Judeans have done nothing but what is evil in My sight! They have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands”(AA)—this is the Lord’s declaration— 31 “for this city has caused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. I will therefore remove it from My presence,(AB) 32 because of all the evil the Israelites and Judeans have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings,(AC) their officials, their priests, and their prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem. 33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them time and time again,[d](AD) they do not listen and receive discipline. 34 They have placed their detestable things(AE) in the house that is called by My name and have defiled it. 35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech(AF)—something I had not commanded them. I had never entertained the thought[e] that they do this detestable act causing Judah to sin!
36 “Now therefore, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to this city about which you said, ‘It has been handed over to Babylon’s king through sword, famine, and plague’: 37 I am about to gather them from all the lands where I have banished them in My anger, rage and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them live in safety.(AG) 38 They will be My people, and I will be their God. 39 I will give them one heart(AH) and one way so that for their good and for the good of their descendants after them, they will fear Me always.
40 “I will make an everlasting covenant with them:(AI) I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put fear of Me in their hearts so they will never again turn away from Me. 41 I will take delight in them to do what is good for them, and with all My heart and mind I will faithfully plant them in this land.(AJ)
42 “For this is what the Lord says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on these people,(AK) so am I about to bring on them all the good I am promising them. 43 Fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying,(AL) ‘It’s a desolation(AM) without man or beast; it has been handed over to the Chaldeans!’ 44 Fields will be purchased with silver, the transaction written on a scroll and sealed,(AN) and witnesses will be called on in the land of Benjamin,(AO) in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in Judah’s cities—the cities of the hill country, the cities of the Judean foothills, and the cities of the Negev—because I will restore their fortunes.”[f]
This is the Lord’s declaration.
