Йеремия 16
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Цялостно посвещаване на пророк Йеремия
Забрана за пророка да се жени, плаче и празнува
16 След това дойде слово Господне към мене. И Господ ми каза: 2 „Не си взимай жена и да нямаш ни синове, ни дъщери на това място.“ 3 Защото така казва Господ за синовете и дъщерите, които ще се родят на това място, и за майките им, които ще ги родят, и за бащите им, които ще ги произведат в тази страна: 4 (A)„Те ще умрат от мъчителна смърт, няма да бъдат оплакани, нито погребани. Ще бъдат тор по лицето на земята. Ще загинат от меч и глад, а техните тела ще бъдат за храна на птиците и за зверовете по земята.“
5 Защото така казва Господ: „Не влизай в дом, където има жалеене, и не отивай да плачеш и да им даваш утеха, понеже отнех благосклонността Си от този народ – казва Господ, – Моята милост и съжаление. 6 И големи, и малки ще умрат в тази страна, няма да бъдат погребани, нито ще ги оплачат, нито ще се самонараняват, нито ще стрижат главите си заради тях, 7 (B)нито ще разчупват хляб за оплакване, за да утешат някого за умрелия, и няма да подадат чаша за утеха за баща им или за майка им. 8 Не влизай в дом на гощавка, да седиш с тях, да ядеш и да пиеш.“ 9 (C)Защото така казва Господ Вседържител, Израилевият Бог: „Ето Аз ще направя да замлъкнат на това място – пред очите ви и във вашите дни – гласът на младоженеца и гласът на невестата.“
Бог обявява плен, но и възвръщане
10 (D)Когато известиш на този народ всички тези думи, а хората те попитат: „Защо Господ е предвъзвестил срещу нас това голямо бедствие и каква е вината ни, какъв е грехът ни, с който сме съгрешили против Господа, нашия Бог?“, 11 (E)тогава да им кажеш: „Понеже вашите бащи Ме изоставиха – казва Господ – и тръгнаха след други богове, и им служеха, и им се покланяха, а Мене изоставиха и не спазиха Моя закон, 12 а вие вършихте по-голямо зло от предците си, защото вървите всеки по своеволието на своето зло сърце, така че не Ме слушате. 13 Затова от тази страна Аз ще ви изхвърля в страна, която нито вие, нито предците ви сте познавали, и там ще служите на други богове денем и нощем, защото няма да окажа милост към вас.
14 (F)(G)Затова идват дни – казва Господ, – когато вече няма да кажат: ‘Жив е Господ, Който изведе израилтяните от египетската земя’, 15 но: ‘Жив е Господ, Който изведе израилтяните от северната страна, от всички страни, където ги беше изгонил!’“ Тогава ще ги върна в земята, която дадох на предците им.
16 „Ето ще изпратя много рибари – казва Господ – и те ще ги уловят, а след това ще изпратя за много ловци и те ще ги ловят по всяка планина и по всяка височина, и по скалните процепи, 17 защото Аз виждам всичките им пътища. Те не са скрити от лицето Ми и тяхната вина не е прикрита пред очите Ми. 18 И ще им въздам най-напред за тяхната неправда и за техните грехове, защото оскверниха Моята страна двойно – напълниха наследството Ми с безжизнените си идоли и с мерзостите си.“
19 Йеремия се помоли: „Господи, моя сила, моя крепост и мое прибежище в скръбен ден! При Тебе ще дойдат народите от земните краища и ще кажат: ‘Нашите предци наследиха само лъжа, суета и онова, от което няма полза. 20 Може ли човек да си направи богове? А те не са богове!’
21 Затова ще ги науча да познават Моята силна ръка и Моята мощ и ще узнаят, че Моето име е Господ.“
Jeremiah 16
New International Version
Day of Disaster
16 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “You must not marry(A) and have sons or daughters in this place.” 3 For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:(B) 4 “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried(C) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(D) They will perish by sword and famine,(E) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(F)
5 For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(G) from this people,” declares the Lord. 6 “Both high and low will die in this land.(H) They will not be buried or mourned,(I) and no one will cut(J) themselves or shave(K) their head for the dead. 7 No one will offer food(L) to comfort those who mourn(M) for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console(N) them.
8 “And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.(O) 9 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds(P) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride(Q) and bridegroom in this place.(R)
10 “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’(S) 11 then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped(T) them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.(U) 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors.(V) See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts(W) instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land(X) into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known,(Y) and there you will serve other gods(Z) day and night, for I will show you no favor.’(AA)
14 “However, the days are coming,”(AB) declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(AC) 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north(AD) and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’(AE) For I will restore(AF) them to the land I gave their ancestors.(AG)
16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them.(AH) After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt(AI) them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks.(AJ) 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden(AK) from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.(AL) 18 I will repay(AM) them double(AN) for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land(AO) with the lifeless forms of their vile images(AP) and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols.(AQ)”(AR)
19 Lord, my strength and my fortress,
my refuge(AS) in time of distress,
to you the nations will come(AT)
from the ends of the earth and say,
“Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods,(AU)
worthless idols(AV) that did them no good.(AW)
20 Do people make their own gods?
Yes, but they are not gods!”(AX)
21 “Therefore I will teach them—
this time I will teach them
my power and might.
Then they will know
that my name(AY) is the Lord.

The Lord's Will for Jeremiah's Life
16 Again the Lord spoke to me and said, 2 “Do not marry or have children in a place like this. 3 I will tell you what is going to happen to the children who are born here and to their parents. 4 They will die of terrible diseases, and no one will mourn for them or bury them. Their bodies will lie like piles of manure on the ground. They will be killed in war or die of starvation, and their bodies will be food for the birds and the wild animals.
5 “You must not enter a house where there is mourning. Do not grieve for anyone. I will no longer bless my people with peace or show them love and mercy. 6 The rich and the poor will die in this land, but no one will bury them or mourn for them. Not one of you will gash yourself or shave your head to show your grief. 7 No one will eat or drink with anyone to offer comfort when a loved one dies. No one will show sympathy, not even for someone who has lost a father or mother.
8 “Do not enter a house where people are feasting. Do not sit down with them to eat and drink. 9 (A)Listen to what I, the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, have to say. I will silence the sounds of joy and gladness and the happy sounds of wedding feasts. The people here will live to see this happen.
10 “When you tell them all this, they will ask you why I have decided to punish them so harshly. They will ask what crime they are guilty of and what sin they have committed against the Lord their God. 11 Then tell them that the Lord has said, ‘Your ancestors turned away from me and worshiped and served other gods. They abandoned me and did not obey my teachings. 12 But you have done even worse than your ancestors. All of you are stubborn and evil, and you do not obey me. 13 So then, I will throw you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have ever known. And there you will serve other gods day and night, and I will show you no mercy.’”
The Return from Exile
14 The Lord says, “The time is coming when people will no longer swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 15 Instead, they will swear by me as the living God who brought the people of Israel out of a northern land and out of all the other countries where I had scattered them. I will bring them back to their own country, to the land that I gave their ancestors. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
The Coming Punishment
16 The Lord says, “I am sending for many fishermen to come and catch these people. Then I will send for many hunters to hunt them down on every mountain and hill and in the caves among the rocks. 17 I see everything they do. Nothing is hidden from me; their sins do not escape my sight. 18 I will make them pay double for their sin and wickedness, because they have defiled my land with idols that are as lifeless as corpses, and have filled it with their false gods.”
Jeremiah's Prayer of Confidence in the Lord
19 Lord, you are the one who protects me and gives me strength; you help me in times of trouble. Nations will come to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Our ancestors had nothing but false gods, nothing but useless idols. 20 Can people make their own gods? No, if they did, those would not really be gods.”
21 “So then,” says the Lord, “once and for all I will make the nations know my power and my might; they will know that I am the Lord.”
