예레미야 27
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
주께서 느부갓네살을 통치자로 세우시다
27 유다의 요시아의 아들 시드기야 왕[a]이 다스리기 시작할 무렵 주께서 이런 말씀을 예레미야에게 내리셨다. 2 주께서 내게 하신 말씀이다. “너는 나무로 멍에를 만들어 가죽끈으로 네 목에 메어라. 3 지금 유다 왕 시드기야를 만나려고 에돔 왕, 모압 왕, 암몬 왕, 두로 왕, 시돈 왕들이 보낸 사신들이 예루살렘에 와 있지 않느냐? 너는 그 사신들을 통하여 그들의 왕에게 내 말을 전하여라. 4 너는 그들이 저희 왕들에게 전할 말을 다음과 같이 일러 주어라. ‘이스라엘의 하나님이신 만군의 주께서 하시는 말씀이다. 너희 주인들에게 이렇게 전하여라. 5 내가 팔을 뻗어 큰 권능을 떨쳐서 땅과 땅 위에 사는 사람과 짐승을 만들었다. 그러므로 누구든지 내 마음에 드는 사람에게 이 땅을 주겠다. 6 이제 나는 이 땅을 내 종 바빌로니아 왕 느부갓네살의 손에 맡기겠다. 그리고 들짐승들까지도 그에게 맡겨 다스리게 하겠다. 7 모든 민족이 느부갓네살과 그의 아들과 그의 손자를 섬길 것이다. 그러나 그의 나라도 망할 때가 오리니, 그렇게 되면 많은 민족과 위대한 왕들이 바빌로니아를 쳐부수고 다스릴 것이다.
8 바빌로니아 왕 느부갓네살을 섬기지 않거나, 그가 씌우는 멍에를 목을 숙여 메지 않으려는 민족이나 나라가 있다면, 내가 전쟁과 굶주림과 질병으로 그 민족을 벌할 것이다. 나 주의 말이다. 나는 느부갓네살의 손을 빌어 그 민족을 끝내 멸하고야 말 것이다. 9 너희의 예언자나 점쟁이, 꿈풀이 하는 자나 무당, 마술사들이 “여러분은 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 않을 것입니다.”라고 말해도, 너희는 결코 그들의 말에 귀를 기울이지 말아라. 10 그들의 예언은 거짓이다. 너희가 그들의 말을 믿으면 너희는 너희 땅에서 먼 곳으로 쫓겨날 것이다. 나는 너희를 너희 땅에서 내쫓아 멸망하게 하겠다. 11 그러나 바빌로니아의 왕의 멍에를 메고 그에게 복종하는 민족은 자기 땅에 남아 농사를 지으며 살게 하겠다.’”
12 나는 유다 왕 시드기야에게도 이와 똑같은 말씀을 전했다. “여러분은 바빌로니아 왕의 멍에를 메고 그와 그 백성을 섬기십시오. 그러면 살 것입니다. 13 주께서 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 않는 민족은 전쟁과 굶주림과 전염병으로 죽이겠다고 말씀하셨는데, 어찌하여 임금님과 임금님의 백성은 그렇게 죽으려고 하십니까? 14 ‘여러분은 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 않을 것입니다.’라고 말하는 예언자들의 말을 듣지 마십시오. 그들이 여러분에게 하는 예언은 거짓말입니다. 15 ‘나는 그들을 보내지 않았다. 나 주의 말이다. 그들은 내 이름으로 거짓 예언을 하고 있다. 그러므로 나는 너희를 쫓아내어 멸망시킬 것이다. 너희와 너희에게 예언하는 예언자들을 함께 멸망시키겠다.’”
16 그리고 나는 제사장들과 모든 백성들에게 말했다. “나 주가 하는 말이다. 너희는 ‘주님의 성전에서 쓰는 그릇들이 곧 바빌로니아에서 돌아올 것이다.’라고 말하는 예언자들의 말을 듣지 말아라. 그들은 거짓 예언을 하고 있다. 17 그들의 말을 듣지 말아라. 바빌로니아 왕을 섬겨라. 그러면 너희가 살 것이다. 어찌하여 이 성읍이 버려진 성읍이 되어야 하겠느냐? 18 만일 그들이 예언자라면, 그들이 정말로 주의 말씀을 받은 사람들이라면, 주님의 성전과 유다 왕궁과 예루살렘에 아직 남아 있는 기구들이, 더는 바빌로니아에게 빼앗기지 않게 해 달라고, 만군의 주님께 간절히 청하라고 하여라.
19 만군의 주께서 느부갓네살이 가져가지 않아 이 성읍에 남아 있는 기둥과 놋바다와 받침대와 기구들에 대해 하시는 말씀이다. 20 이것들은 바빌로니아 왕 느부갓네살이, 유다 왕 여호야김의 아들 여호야긴과 유다와 예루살렘의 모든 귀족들을 예루살렘에서 바빌로니아로 끌고 갈 때, 가져가지 않고 남겨둔 물건들이다. 21 참으로 주의 성전과 유다 왕궁과 예루살렘에 남아 있는 그 기구들을 두고 만군의 주, 이스라엘의 하나님께서 하시는 말씀이시다. 22 그 물건들도 바빌로니아로 실려 가서 내가 그것들을 다시 찾아 올 때까지 그 곳에 남아 있을 것이다. 나 주의 말이다. 그 뒤에 내가 그 물건들을 찾아다가 이 곳에 되돌려 놓을 것이다.”

Jeremiah 27
New King James Version
Symbol of the Bonds and Yokes
27 In[a] the beginning of the reign of [b]Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, (A)king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord to me: ‘Make for yourselves bonds and yokes, (B)and put them on your neck, 3 and send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 And command them to say to their masters, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel—thus you shall say to your masters: 5 (C)‘I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and (D)have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me. 6 (E)And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, (F)My servant; and (G)the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. 7 (H)So all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, (I)until the time of his land comes; (J)and then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them. 8 And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish,’ says the Lord, ‘with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. 9 Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your [c]dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.” 10 For they prophesy a (K)lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land,’ says the Lord, ‘and they shall till it and dwell in it.’ ” ’ ”
12 I also spoke to (L)Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live! 13 (M)Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Therefore (N)do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they prophesy (O)a lie to you; 15 for I have (P)not sent them,” says the Lord, “yet they prophesy a lie in My name, that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Behold, (Q)the vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon”; for they prophesy a lie to you. 17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city be laid waste? 18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.’
19 “For thus says the Lord of hosts (R)concerning the pillars, concerning the Sea, concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city, 20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away (S)captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem— 21 yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the (T)vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem: 22 ‘They shall be (U)carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I (V)visit them,’ says the Lord. ‘Then (W)I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”

The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar
27 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah[a] the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord. 2 Thus the Lord said to me: (A)“Make yourself straps and (B)yoke-bars, and put them on your neck. 3 Send word[b] to the king of (C)Edom, the king of (D)Moab, the king of the sons of (E)Ammon, the king of (F)Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: 5 “It is I who (G)by my great power and my outstretched arm (H)have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, (I)and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. 6 (J)Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, (K)my servant, (L)and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. 7 (M)All the nations shall serve him and (N)his son and (O)his grandson, (P)until the time of his own land comes. (Q)Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.
8 “‘“But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, (R)and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation (S)with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand. 9 So (T)do not listen to your (U)prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your (V)fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 (W)For it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 (X)But any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, to work it and dwell there, declares the Lord.”’”
12 To (Y)Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: (Z)“Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and (AA)serve him and his people and live. 13 (AB)Why will you and your people die (AC)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, (AD)as the Lord has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 (AE)Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ (AF)for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 15 I have not sent them, declares the Lord, but (AG)they are prophesying falsely in my name, with the result that I will drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
16 Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: (AH)Do not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, (AI)‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon,’ (AJ)for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 17 (AK)Do not listen to them; (AL)serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city (AM)become a desolation? 18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, then (AN)let them intercede with the Lord of hosts, (AO)that the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon. 19 (AP)For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, the sea, the stands, and the rest of the vessels that are left in this city, 20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take away, (AQ)when he took into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem— 21 thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, (AR)concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: 22 (AS)They shall be carried to Babylon (AT)and remain there (AU)until the day when I visit them, declares the Lord. (AV)Then I will bring them back (AW)and restore them to this place.”

King James Version
27 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
