예레미야 49
Korean Living Bible
암몬에 대한 심판
49 이것은 암몬 자손에 대한 여호와의 말씀이다. “이스라엘에게 자손이 없느냐? 그에게 상속자가 없느냐? 어째서 [a]밀곰이 갓을 점령하며 그 백성이 갓의 성에서 사는가?
2 그러므로 나 여호와가 말한다. 내가 암몬 자손의 랍바성에 전쟁 소리가 들리게 할 날이 있을 것이다. 랍바성은 폐허의 무더기로 변하고 그 주변 부락들은 불에 탈 것이며 그때 이스라엘은 자기를 점령한 자를 점령할 것이다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.
3 “헤스본아, 통곡하라. 아이성이 멸망하였다. 랍바의 주민들아, 부르짖어라. 너희는 삼베 옷을 입고 슬피 울며 재빨리 울타리 사이에 숨어라. 너희 신 밀곰이 그 제사장들과 대신들과 함께 다 사로잡혀갈 것이다.
4 너희 신실치 못한 백성들아, 어째서 너희가 비옥한 골짜기를 자랑하느냐? 너희가 너희 재물을 믿고 ‘누가 우리를 공격할 것인가?’ 하는구나.
5 전능한 주 여호와가 말한다. 보라, 내가 너희 사방에 두려움을 보내겠다. 너희가 다 쫓겨서 달아날 것이며 너희 도망하는 자들을 모을 자가 없을 것이다.
6 그러나 후에 내가 암몬 자손을 원상태로 회복시킬 것이다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”
에돔에 대한 심판
7 이것은 에돔에 대한 전능하신 여호와의 말씀이다. “너희 지혜로운 자들이 다 어디 갔느냐? 데만에 남은 자 중에 지혜로운 자가 하나도 없느냐?
8 드단에 사는 자들아, 너희는 멀리 달아나서 숨어라. 내가 에돔을 벌할 때에 에서의 재앙을 그에게 내릴 것이다.
9 포도를 따는 자들도 가난한 자를 위해 약간씩 남겨 두며 밤의 도둑도 자기가 원하는 것만 가져간다.
10 그러나 나는 에서를 완전히 벌거숭이가 되게 하여 그의 숨을 곳을 다 드러내었으니 그가 자기를 숨길 수 없게 되었다. 에돔의 모든 사람이 다 멸망하였으므로 한 사람도 살아 남은 자가 없구나.
11 너희는 너희 고아들을 나에게 맡겨라. 내가 그들을 보살펴 주겠다. 그리고 너희 과부들도 나를 의지하게 하라.”
12 여호와께서 다시 에돔에게 말씀하신다. “죄 없는 사람까지 이 형벌의 잔을 마셔야 하는데 네가 벌을 면하리라고 생각하느냐? 너는 반드시 이 형벌의 잔을 마실 것이다.
13 나 여호와가 분명히 말하지만 보스라가 황폐하여 놀람과 저줏거리와 치욕거리가 될 것이며 그 모든 성들이 영원히 폐허가 되고 말 것이다.”
14 내가 [b]여호와의 말씀을 들으니 여호와께서 사자를 여러 나라에 보내며 이렇게 전하라고 말씀하셨다. “너희는 연합군을 만들어 에돔을 쳐라. 자, 일어나서 싸워라!”
15 에돔에 대하여 여호와께서 다시 말씀하신다. “많은 나라 가운데서 내가 너를 약하게 할 것이니 모든 사람들이 너를 멸시할 것이다.
16 바위 틈에서 살며 산의 정상을 점령한 자야, 너의 명성과 네 마음의 교만이 너를 속였다. 네가 독수리처럼 네 보금자리를 높이 지어도 내가 너를 거기서 끄집어내리겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.
17 에돔의 멸망이 너무 무시무시하여 지나가는 자마다 놀라며 그 광경을 보고 비웃을 것이다.
18 소돔과 고모라와 그 이웃 성들이 멸망당했을 때와 마찬가지로 에돔에 살거나 머물 자가 하나도 없을 것이다.
19 사자가 요단 숲속에서 목장으로 올라오는 것처럼 갑자기 침략자가 밀어닥칠 것이니 내가 에돔 사람들을 그 땅에서 쫓아내고 내가 택한 자를 세워 그 나라를 다스리게 하겠다. 나와 같은 자가 누구인가? 나에게 도전할 자가 누구이며 나와 맞설 목자가 누구인가?
20 그러므로 나 여호와가 에돔에 대하여 계획한 것과 데만 사람들에게 행하려고 하는 일을 들어라. [c]어린 아이들까지 다 끌려갈 것이며 그 땅은 황폐해질 것이다.
21 에돔이 넘어지는 소리에 땅이 진동할 것이며 그 백성들이 부르짖는 소리는 홍해까지 들릴 것이다.
22 보라, 날개를 펴고 내리덮치는 독수리처럼 원수가 와서 보스라를 칠 것이다. 그 날에는 에돔 용사들의 마음이 해산하는 여인의 심정과 같을 것이다.”
다마스커스에 대한 심판
23 이것은 다마스커스에 대한 여호와의 말씀이다. “하맛과 아르밧이 흉한 소문을 듣고 두려워하며 낙담하는구나. [d]바다에 파도가 일듯이 그들의 마음에 근심이 일고 있으니 그들에겐 평안이 없다.
24 다마스커스가 무력하여 그 주민들이 달아나려고 몸을 돌이켰으나 공포가 그들을 움켜잡고 고통과 아픔이 그들을 사로잡았으니 그들이 해산하는 여인처럼 괴로워하는구나.
25 한때 명성을 떨치며 행복했던 성이 어떻게 하다가 버림을 당했는가?
26 전능한 나 여호와가 말한다. 그 날에 다마스커스의 청년들이 거리에 쓰러지고 그 병사들은 전멸할 것이다.
27 내가 다마스커스 성벽에 불을 놓아 벤 – 하닷의 궁전을 태워 버리겠다.”
게달과 하솔에 대한 심판
28 이것은 바빌로니아의 느부갓네살왕에게 패한 게달족과 하솔 왕국에 대한 여호와의 말씀이다. “너희는 일어나 게달을 치고 동방 사람들을 멸망시켜라.
29 너희는 그들의 천막과 양떼와 휘장과 그들의 모든 물건과 낙타를 빼앗고 그들을 향하여 ‘두려움이 너희 사방에 있다’ 하고 외쳐라.
30 나 여호와가 말한다. 하솔 백성들아, 너희는 멀리 도망하여 깊숙한 곳에 가서 숨어라. 바빌로니아의 느부갓네살왕이 너를 칠 계획과 방안을 세워 놓았다.
31 그가 하는 말을 들어 보아라. ‘자, 안심하고 평안히 살고 있는 저 백성을 치자. 그들은 성문이나 문빗장도 없이 무방비 상태로 고립되어 살고 있다.’
32 “그들의 낙타와 가축이 약탈당할 것이다. 옆 머리를 잘라 낸 이 이방인들을 내가 아무 데나 흩어 버리고 사방에서 재앙을 불러들여 그들에게 밀어닥치게 하겠다.
33 하솔이 여우의 소굴이 되어 영영 황폐할 것이므로 거기에 머물거나 사는 자가 아무도 없을 것이다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”
엘람에 대한 심판
34 이것은 시드기야가 유다 왕이 된 지 얼마 되지 않은 때에 여호와께서 엘람에 대하여 나에게 하신 말씀이다.
35 전능하신 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “보라, 엘람의 힘의 원천인 활을 내가 꺾어 버리겠다.
36 내가 하늘 사방에서 바람을 일으켜 엘람을 곳곳에 흩어 버릴 것이니 엘람에서 쫓겨난 자들이 가지 않는 나라가 없을 것이다.
37 내가 엘람 백성들로 그들의 생명을 노리는 원수들 앞에서 두려워 떨게 할 것이며 나의 분노의 재앙을 그들에게 내리고 그들을 전멸시킬 때까지 칼을 보내 그들의 뒤를 따르게 할 것이다.
38 내가 엘람에 내 보좌를 베풀고 그 왕과 대신들을 없애 버리겠다.
39 그러나 훗날 내가 엘람을 원상태로 회복시킬 것이다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”
Jeremiah 49
King James Version
49 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.
7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
12 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
Jeremiah 49
New King James Version
Judgment on Ammon
49 Against the (A)Ammonites.
Thus says the Lord:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does [a]Milcom inherit (B)Gad,
And his people dwell in its cities?
2 (C)Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war
In (D)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
It shall be a desolate mound,
And her [b]villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.
3 “Wail, O (E)Heshbon, for Ai is plundered!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
(F)Gird yourselves with sackcloth!
Lament and run to and fro by the walls;
For [c]Milcom shall go into captivity
With his (G)priests and his princes together.
4 Why (H)do you boast in the valleys,
[d]Your flowing valley, O (I)backsliding daughter?
Who trusted in her (J)treasures, (K)saying,
‘Who will come against me?’
5 Behold, I will bring fear upon you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts,
“From all those who are around you;
You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,
And no one will gather those who wander off.
6 But (L)afterward I will bring back
The captives of the people of Ammon,” says the Lord.
Judgment on Edom
7 (M)Against Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(N)“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
(O)Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom (P)vanished?
8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of (Q)Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
9 (R)If grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
10 (S)But I have made Esau bare;
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And (T)he is no more.
11 Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive;
And let your widows trust in Me.”
12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, (U)those whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk. And are you the one who will altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it. 13 For (V)I have sworn by Myself,” says the Lord, “that (W)Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a [e]waste, and a curse. And all its cities shall be perpetual [f]wastes.”
14 (X)I have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!
15 “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,
Despised among men.
16 Your fierceness has deceived you,
The (Y)pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
(Z)Though you make your (AA)nest as high as the eagle,
(AB)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
(AC)Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
18 (AD)As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 “Behold,(AE) he shall come up like a lion from (AF)the [g]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For (AG)who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And (AH)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”
20 (AI)Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall [h]draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
21 (AJ)The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
22 Behold, (AK)He shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.
Judgment on Damascus
23 (AL)Against Damascus.
(AM)“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
(AN)There is [i]trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
(AO)Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in [j]labor.
25 Why is (AP)the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
26 (AQ)Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets,
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
27 “I(AR) will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”
Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 (AS)Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike.
Thus says the Lord:
“Arise, go up to Kedar,
And devastate (AT)the men of the East!
29 Their (AU)tents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
(AV)‘Fear is on every side!’
30 “Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!” says the Lord.
“For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
And has conceived a plan against you.
31 “Arise, go up to (AW)the wealthy nation that dwells securely,” says the Lord,
“Which has neither gates nor bars,
(AX)Dwelling alone.
32 Their camels shall be for booty,
And the multitude of their cattle for plunder.
I will (AY)scatter to all winds those [k]in the farthest corners,
And I will bring their calamity from all its sides,” says the Lord.
33 “Hazor (AZ)shall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever;
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”
Judgment on Elam
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against (BA)Elam, in the (BB)beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Behold, I will break (BC)the [l]bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
(BD)I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will (BE)set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
39 ‘But it shall come to pass (BF)in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”
