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: „Не си взимай жена и да нямаш ни синове, ни дъщери на това място.“ 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: (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.“

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. 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, (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. Не влизай в дом на гощавка, да седиш с тях, да ядеш и да пиеш.“ (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.“

The Lord Tells Jeremiah Not to Marry

16 Yahweh spoke his word to me. He said, “Don’t marry! Don’t have any sons or daughters in this place! This is what Yahweh says about the sons and daughters born in this place and about the mothers and fathers who have children in this land: They will die horrible deaths. No one will mourn for them or bury them. They will be like manure on the ground. Wars and famines will bring them to an end. Their bodies will be food for birds and animals.

“This is what Yahweh says: Don’t go into a house where people are grieving. Don’t go to mourn or to grieve for them. I’m taking my peace, love, and compassion away from these people,” declares Yahweh. “Old and young alike will die in this land. No one will mourn for them or bury them. No one will cut his own body or shave his own head for them. No one will offer food to comfort those who mourn the dead. No one will give a consoling drink to those who have lost their fathers or mothers.

“Don’t even go into a home where there is a banquet. Don’t sit with them to eat and drink. This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Elohim of Israel, says: I’m going to put a stop to the sounds of joy and happiness and the sounds of brides and grooms in this place. This will happen in your lifetime, while you watch.

10 “When you tell the people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why does Yahweh threaten us with all these disasters? What have we done wrong? How have we sinned against Yahweh our Elohim?’ 11 Then say to them, ‘It’s because your ancestors abandoned me, declares Yahweh. They followed other gods, served them, worshiped them, and abandoned me. They didn’t obey my teachings. 12 You have done worse than your ancestors. All of you are following your own stubborn, evil ways that keep you from obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land that you and your ancestors haven’t heard of. There you will serve other gods day and night because I will no longer have pity on you.’

14 “That is why the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when people will no longer begin an oath with, ‘Yahweh brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. As Yahweh lives. . . .’ 15 But they will say, ‘Yahweh brought the people of Israel out of the land of the north and all the lands where he had scattered them. As Yahweh lives. . . .’ They will say this because I will bring them back to the land that I gave their ancestors.

16 “I’m going to send for many fishermen,” declares Yahweh, “and they will catch the people of Israel. After that, I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt for them on every mountain and hill and even in the cracks in the rocks. 17 I see everything that they do. They can’t hide anything from me. Their wickedness can’t be hidden; I can see it. 18 First, I will have them pay twice as much for their wickedness and their sin, because they have polluted my land. They have filled my property with the lifeless statues of their detestable and disgusting idols.”

19 Yahweh is my strength and my fortress,
    my refuge in times of trouble.
    Nations come to you from the most distant parts of the world
    and say, “Our ancestors have inherited lies,
        worthless and unprofitable gods.”

20 “People can’t make gods for themselves.
    They aren’t really gods.
21 That is what I will teach them.
    This time I will make my power and my strength known to them.
        Then they will know that my name is Yahweh.”

耶和华降灾难的日子

16 耶和华对耶利米说: “你不可在这地方娶妻,也不可生儿育女。 至于在这地方出生的孩子和他们的父母,耶和华说, ‘他们必死于恶疾,无人哀悼,无人埋葬,他们好像地上的粪便。他们必死于战争和饥荒,尸首必成为飞鸟和走兽的食物。’” 耶和华对我说:“你不要进入丧家为他们哀悼悲伤,因为我已收回我赐给这百姓的平安、慈爱和怜悯。这是耶和华说的。 他们无论尊卑都要死在这里,无人埋葬,无人哀悼,也无人为他们的死而割伤身体、剃光头发。 无人用食物和酒安慰哀悼者,甚至无人给丧父或丧母者一杯安慰酒。 你不可进入宴乐之家与他们同坐吃喝。” 以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说:“在这百姓有生之年,我要使这地方的欢乐声和新郎新娘的欢笑声从他们眼前消失。

10 “当你把这些话告诉他们的时候,他们会质问你,‘耶和华为什么给我们降这大灾难?我们有什么罪?我们哪里得罪了我们的上帝耶和华?’ 11 你要对他们说,‘耶和华说,你们的祖先背弃我,去跟随、供奉、祭拜别的神明;他们背弃我,不遵守我的律法。 12 可是,你们的行为比他们更邪恶,一意孤行,不听从我。 13 所以,我要把你们从这里驱逐到你们和你们祖先都不认识的地方,你们在那里要日夜供奉别的神明,因为我不再恩待你们。’”

14 耶和华说:“时候将到,那时人不再凭把以色列人带出埃及的耶和华起誓, 15 而是凭把他们从流放之地——北方和列国领回来的永活的耶和华起誓。因为我必领他们回到我赐给他们祖先的地方。”

16 耶和华说:“看啊,我要召来许多渔夫把他们捕捞上来,我要召来许多猎人去各山岭和岩穴猎取他们。 17 因为我鉴察他们的一切行为,他们无法隐藏,他们的罪恶逃不过我的眼晴。 18 首先,我要让他们因自己的罪与恶而受加倍的报应,因为他们用没有生命气息的可憎偶像玷污我的土地,使可厌之物充满我的产业。”

19 耶和华啊,你是我的力量,
是我的堡垒,
是我患难时的避难所。
万国都要从地极来朝见你,
说:“我们祖先所拜的神像虚假无用,一无是处。
20 难道人可以为自己制造神明吗?
其实那些神明并不是真神。”

21 耶和华说:“看啊,这一次我要让他们知道我的权柄和能力,让他们知道我是耶和华。”

16 The word of the Lord came also unto me, saying,

Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, even lovingkindness and mercies.

Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:

Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?

11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:

13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15 But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
