Народът потъпка завета с Господа

11 Думи, които бяха дадени на Йеремия от Господа: Слушайте думите на този завет и кажете на мъжете от Юдея и на йерусалимските жители. (A)И кажи им: „Така казва Господ, Израилевият Бог: ‘Проклет да бъде онзи човек, който не слуша думите на този завет, (B)които заповядах на вашите предци в деня, когато ги изведох от египетската земя, от пещта за желязо: «Слушайте гласа Ми, изпълнявайте всичко, което ви заповядах. И така ще бъдете Мой народ и Аз ще бъда ваш Бог, (C)за да изпълня клетвата, с която се клех на предците ви, да им дам земя, която изобилства с мляко и мед, тъй както е в този ден»’.“ Тогава в отговор казах: „Така да бъде, Господи!“

И Господ ми каза: „Извикай всички тези думи по градовете на Юдея и по улиците на Йерусалим, като кажеш: ‘Слушайте думите на този завет и ги следвайте.’ Защото повтарях и постоянно предупреждавах от деня, когато ги извеждах от египетската земя, и до днес, като ставах рано и предупреждавах: ‘Слушайте гласа Ми!’ Но те не послушаха, нито приклониха ухото си, но всеки следваше упорството на злото си сърце. Затова докарах върху тях всичко, казано в този завет, който им заповядах да следват, но те не изпълняваха.“

И Господ ми каза: „Заговор се разкри сред мъжете на Юдея и сред йерусалимските жители. 10 Те са се върнали към беззаконията на праотците си, които се бяха отказали да слушат Моите думи и бяха последвали чужди богове, за да им служат. Израилевият дом и Юдовият дом нарушиха завета, който бях сключил с предците им.“ 11 (D)Затова така казва Господ: „Ето ще докарам върху тях беда, която няма да избягнат. Тогава ще викат към Мене, но няма да ги чуя. 12 (E)Тогава градовете на Юдея и йерусалимските жители ще завикат към боговете, на които принасят жертви, но те няма да ги спасят по време на бедствието им. 13 (F)Защото, колкото е броят на градовете ти, толкова са и боговете ти, Юдейо, и колкото е броят на йерусалимските улици, толкова жертвеници издигнахте за посрама, за да кадите на Ваал.

14 (G)Затова ти, Йеремия, не се моли за този народ, не издигай глас за молитва за тях, защото няма да ги послушам по времето, когато викат към Мене поради бедствието си. 15 (H)Какво право има Моят любезен в Моя дом, когато е сторил много злини? И свещеното жертвено месо ще отмъкне от тебе, защото се радваш, когато вършиш зло. 16 Господ те нарече ‘маслина вечнозелена’, хубава, с добри плодове. Но с огромен боен шум Той запали огън на нея и нейните клони се прекършиха. 17 Господ Вседържител, Който те насади, определи срещу тебе бедствие заради злото, което Израилевият дом и Юдовият дом са сторили, като Ме дразнеха с кадилните си жертви на Ваал.“

18 Но Господ ми откри това и аз зная. Тогава Ти ми показа делата им. 19 (I)И аз като кротко агне, водено на клане, дори не узнах, че са скроили замисъл против мене, като казваха: „Нека строшим дървото с неговите плодове и да го изтръгнем от земята на живите, тъй че да не се споменава повече името му.“ 20 (J)Но, Господи Вседържителю, Който съдиш праведно, нека видя Твоето възмездие спрямо тях, защото на Тебе поверих делото си!

21 (K)Затова така казва Господ на плътските мъже, които искат да отнемат живота ми и казват: „Да не пророкуваш в името на Господа и няма да умреш от нашата ръка!“ 22 Затова така казва Господ Вседържител: „Ето Аз ще ги накажа така, че младите да умрат от меч, синовете и дъщерите им – от глад. 23 И остатък няма да остане от тях, защото ще докарам бедствие върху мъжете от Анатот в годината, когато ги наказвам.“

The Broken Covenant

11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: (A)“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (B)Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, (C)from the iron furnace, saying, (D)Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. (E)So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, (F)that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, (G)to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”

And the Lord said to me, (H)“Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: (I)Hear the words of this covenant and do them. For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, (J)warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, (K)Obey my voice. (L)Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, (M)but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all (N)the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”

Again the Lord said to me, (O)“A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to (P)the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. (Q)They have gone after other gods to serve them. (R)The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. (S)Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (T)will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, (U)but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 (V)For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, (W)altars to make offerings to Baal.

14 “Therefore (X)do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, (Y)for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. 15 (Z)What right has my beloved in my house, (AA)when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? (AB)Can you then exult? 16 The Lord once called you (AC)‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But (AD)with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and (AE)its branches will be consumed. 17 The Lord of hosts, (AF)who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, (AG)provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”

18 The Lord made it known to me and I knew;
    then you showed me their deeds.
19 But I was (AH)like a gentle lamb
    led to the slaughter.
I did not know (AI)it was against me
    they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
    (AJ)let us cut him off from (AK)the land of the living,
    that his name be remembered no more.”
20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
    who (AL)tests (AM)the heart and the mind,
(AN)let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.

21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of (AO)Anathoth, (AP)who seek your life, and say, (AQ)“Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of (AR)Anathoth, (AS)the year of their punishment.”

11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying,

Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:

That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord.

Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.

For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.

And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

17 For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

18 And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.

19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand:

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

Violación del pacto

11 Esta es la palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte del Señor: «Atiende a los términos de este pacto, y comunícaselos a la gente de Judá y a los habitantes de Jerusalén. Diles que así ha dicho el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Maldito sea el hombre que no obedezca los términos de este pacto, que yo mismo prescribí a vuestros antepasados el día que los hice salir de Egipto, de esa caldera para fundir hierro”. Les dije: “Obedecedme y cumplid con todo lo que os prescribo, y vosotros seréis mi pueblo y yo seré vuestro Dios. Así cumpliré el juramento que les hice a vuestros antepasados, de darles una tierra donde abundan la leche y la miel, como la que hoy tenéis vosotros”».

Yo respondí: «Amén, Señor».

El Señor me dijo: «Proclama todo esto en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén, diciendo: “Escuchad los términos de este pacto, y cumplidlos. Desde el día en que hice salir a vuestros antepasados de la tierra de Egipto hasta el día de hoy, una y otra vez les he advertido: ‘Obedecedme’. Pero no obedecieron ni prestaron atención, sino que siguieron la terquedad de su malvado corazón. Por eso hice caer sobre ellos todo el peso de las palabras de este pacto, que yo les había ordenado cumplir, pero que no cumplieron”».

El Señor también me dijo: «Se está fraguando una conspiración entre los hombres de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén. 10 Han vuelto a los mismos pecados de sus antepasados, quienes se negaron a obedecerme. Se han ido tras otros dioses para servirlos. Tanto el pueblo de Israel como la tribu de Judá han quebrantado el pacto que hice con sus antepasados. 11 Por eso, así dice el Señor: “Les enviaré una calamidad de la cual no podrán escapar. Aunque clamen a mí, no los escucharé. 12 Entonces las ciudades de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén irán a clamar a los dioses a los que quemaron incienso, pero ellos no podrán salvarlos cuando llegue el tiempo de su calamidad. 13 Tú, Judá, tienes tantos dioses como ciudades. Erigiste tantos altares como calles hay en Jerusalén; altares para quemar incienso a Baal, para vergüenza tuya”.

14 »Pero en cuanto a ti, Jeremías, no intercedas por este pueblo. No me ruegues ni me supliques por ellos, porque yo no escucharé cuando clamen a mí por causa de su calamidad.

15 »¿Qué hace mi amada en mi casa,
    después de haber cometido tantas vilezas?
¿Acaso la carne consagrada
    alejará de ti la calamidad?
¿Podrás así regocijarte?»

16 El Señor te puso por nombre:
    «Olivo frondoso, lleno de hermosos frutos».
Pero, en medio de grandes estruendos,
    te ha prendido fuego,
    y tus ramas se consumen.

17 El Señor Todopoderoso, el que te plantó, ha decretado una calamidad contra ti, por causa de la maldad que cometieron el pueblo de Israel y la tribu de Judá. Dice el Señor: «Me han agraviado al quemar incienso a Baal».

18 El Señor me lo hizo saber y lo comprendí. Me mostró las maldades que habían cometido. 19 Pero yo era como un manso cordero que es llevado al matadero; no sabía lo que estaban maquinando contra mí, y que decían:

«Destruyamos el árbol con su fruto,
    arranquémoslo de la tierra de los vivientes,
    para que nadie recuerde más su nombre».
20 Pero tú, Señor Todopoderoso,
    que juzgas con justicia,
    que pruebas los sentimientos y la mente,
¡déjame ver cómo te vengas de ellos,
    porque en tus manos he puesto mi causa!

21 «Por eso, así dice el Señor en contra de los hombres de Anatot, que buscan quitarte la vida y afirman: “¡No profetices en nombre del Señor, si no quieres morir a manos nuestras!” 22 Por eso, así dice el Señor Todopoderoso: “Voy a castigarlos. Los jóvenes morirán a filo de espada, y sus hijos y sus hijas se morirán de hambre. 23 No quedará ni uno solo de ellos. En el año de su castigo haré venir una calamidad sobre los hombres de Anatot”».
