Urgii şi robie

16 Cuvântul Domnului mi-a vorbit astfel: „Să nu-ţi iei nevastă şi să n-ai în locul acesta nici fii, nici fiice! Căci aşa vorbeşte Domnul despre fiii şi fiicele care se vor naşte în locul acesta, despre mamele care-i vor naşte şi despre taţii lor care le vor da naştere în ţara aceasta: vor muri doborâţi de boală(A) rea. Nimeni nu-i va plânge(B), nici nu-i va îngropa, ci vor fi ca un gunoi(C) pe pământ; vor pieri de sabie şi de foamete, şi trupurile(D) lor moarte vor sluji ca hrană păsărilor cerului şi fiarelor pământului. Căci aşa vorbeşte Domnul: ‘Să nu intri în nicio casă(E) de jale, să nu plângi în ea şi nici să nu te boceşti cu ei, căci Mi-am luat înapoi de la poporul acesta pacea Mea, zice Domnul, bunătatea şi îndurarea Mea. Şi mari, şi mici, toţi vor muri în ţara aceasta şi nu vor fi îngropaţi: nimeni nu-i va plânge(F), nimeni nu-şi va face tăieturi(G) din pricina lor şi nu se va(H) rade pentru ei. Nimeni nu le va pune masa în timpul jelirii ca să-i mângâie pentru cel mort şi nimeni nu le va întinde paharul(I) mângâierii pentru tatăl sau pentru mama lor. Să nu intri nici într-o casă de petrecere, ca să te aşezi cu ei, să mănânci şi să bei. Căci aşa vorbeşte Domnul oştirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel: Iată, voi face să înceteze(J) în locul acesta, sub ochii voştri şi în zilele voastre, strigătele de bucurie şi strigătele de veselie, cântecele mirelui şi cântecele miresei.’ 10 Când vei vesti poporului acestuia toate aceste lucruri, ei îţi vor zice: ‘Pentru ce(K) ne ameninţă Domnul cu toate aceste mari nenorociri? Ce nelegiuire şi ce păcat am făcut împotriva Domnului, Dumnezeului nostru?’ 11 Atunci să le răspunzi: ‘Părinţii voştri(L) M-au părăsit, zice Domnul, s-au dus după alţi dumnezei, le-au slujit şi s-au închinat înaintea lor, iar pe Mine M-au părăsit şi n-au păzit Legea Mea! 12 Şi voi aţi făcut şi mai rău(M) decât părinţii voştri, căci iată că fiecare(N) umblaţi după pornirile inimii voastre rele şi nu M-ascultaţi. 13 De aceea(O), vă voi muta din ţara aceasta într-o ţară(P) pe care n-aţi cunoscut-o nici voi, nici părinţii voştri şi acolo veţi sluji altor dumnezei, zi şi noapte, căci nu vă voi ierta! 14 De aceea, iată, vin(Q) zile, zice Domnul, când nu se va mai zice: «Viu este Domnul, care a scos din ţara Egiptului pe copiii lui Israel!» 15 Ci se va zice: «Viu este Domnul, care a scos pe copiii lui Israel din ţara de la miazănoapte şi din toate ţările unde-i izgonise!» Căci(R) îi voi aduce înapoi în ţara lor, pe care o dădusem părinţilor lor. 16 Iată, trimit o mulţime(S) de pescari, zice Domnul, şi-i vor pescui, şi, după aceea, voi trimite o mulţime de vânători şi-i vor vâna pe toţi munţii şi pe toate dealurile şi în crăpăturile stâncilor. 17 Căci ochii(T) Mei sunt cu luare-aminte la toate căile lor; ele nu sunt ascunse înaintea Feţei Mele şi nelegiuirea lor nu este ascunsă de privirile Mele. 18 De aceea le voi răsplăti mai întâi îndoit nelegiuirea(U) şi păcatul lor, pentru că Mi-au spurcat(V) ţara, pentru că Mi-au umplut moştenirea cu trupurile moarte ale jertfelor aduse idolilor lor şi cu urâciunile lor.’ ” 19 „Doamne, tăria(W), cetăţuia şi scăparea(X) mea în ziua necazului! Neamurile vor veni la Tine de la marginile pământului şi vor zice: ‘Părinţii noştri n-au moştenit decât minciună, idoli deşerţi, care nu sunt de niciun(Y) ajutor!’ ” 20 „Cum poate omul să-şi facă dumnezei care nu sunt(Z) dumnezei? 21 De aceea iată că le arăt de data aceasta şi-i fac să ştie puterea şi tăria Mea, şi vor cunoaşte că Numele Meu(AA) este Domnul.

Jeremiah’s Lifestyle and Message

16 The word of the Lord also came to me, saying, “You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.” For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them and their fathers who begot them in this land: “They shall die (A)gruesome deaths; they shall not be (B)lamented nor shall they be (C)buried, but they shall be (D)like refuse on the face of the earth. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their (E)corpses shall be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.”

For thus says the Lord: (F)“Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people,” says the Lord, “lovingkindness and mercies. Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; (G)neither shall men lament for them, (H)cut themselves, nor (I)make themselves bald for them. Nor shall men break bread in mourning for them, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to (J)drink for their father or their mother. Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.”

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, (K)I will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of [a]mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

10 “And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, (L)‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11 then you shall say to them, (M)‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. 12 And you have done (N)worse than your fathers, for behold, (O)each one [b]follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me. 13 (P)Therefore I will cast you out of this land (Q)into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.’

God Will Restore Israel(R)

14 “Therefore behold, the (S)days are coming,” says the Lord, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 15 but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the (T)north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For (U)I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.

16 “Behold, I will send for many (V)fishermen,” says the Lord, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17 For My (W)eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. 18 And first I will repay (X)double for their iniquity and their sin, because (Y)they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”

19 O Lord, (Z)my strength and my fortress,
(AA)My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and (AB)unprofitable things.
20 Will a man make gods for himself,
(AC)Which are not gods?

21 “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know,
I will cause them to know
My hand and My might;
And they shall know that (AD)My name is the Lord.

主示耶利米斯土必灭

16 耶和华的话又临到我说: “你在这地方不可娶妻,生儿养女。 因为论到在这地方所生的儿女,又论到在这国中生养他们的父母,耶和华如此说: 他们必死得甚苦,无人哀哭,必不得葬埋,必在地上像粪土,必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝。他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽做食物。

“耶和华如此说:不要进入丧家,不要去哀哭,也不要为他们悲伤,因我已将我的平安、慈爱、怜悯从这百姓夺去了。这是耶和华说的。 连大带小,都必在这地死亡,不得葬埋。人必不为他们哀哭,不用刀划身,也不使头光秃。 他们有丧事,人必不为他们擘饼,因死人安慰他们。他们丧父丧母,人也不给他们一杯酒安慰他们。 你不可进入宴乐的家,与他们同坐吃喝。 因为万军之耶和华以色列的神如此说:你们还活着的日子,在你们眼前,我必使欢喜和快乐的声音、新郎和新妇的声音,从这地方止息了。

斯民较其列祖尤恶

10 “你将这一切的话指示这百姓,他们问你说:‘耶和华为什么说要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢?我们有什么罪孽呢?我们向耶和华我们的神犯了什么罪呢?’ 11 你就对他们说:‘耶和华说:因为你们列祖离弃我,随从别神,侍奉敬拜,不遵守我的律法。 12 而且你们行恶比你们列祖更甚,因为各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事,甚至不听从我。 13 所以我必将你们从这地赶出,直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地,你们在那里必昼夜侍奉别神,因为我必不向你们施恩。’”

许以色列人仍归故土

14 耶和华说:“日子将到,人必不再指着那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓, 15 却要指着那领以色列人从北方之地,并赶他们到的各国上来之永生的耶和华起誓。并且我要领他们再入我从前赐给他们列祖之地。”

16 耶和华说:“我要召许多打鱼的把以色列人打上来,然后我要召许多打猎的,从各山上、各冈上、各石穴中猎取他们。 17 因我的眼目察看他们的一切行为,他们不能在我面前遮掩,他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏。 18 我先要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶,因为他们用可憎之尸玷污我的地土,又用可厌之物充满我的产业。”

偶像虚伪诞妄无益

19 耶和华啊,你是我的力量,是我的保障,在苦难之日是我的避难所。列国人必从地极来到你这里,说:“我们列祖所承受的不过是虚假,是虚空无益之物。 20 人岂可为自己制造神呢?其实这不是神!”

21 耶和华说:“我要使他们知道,就是这一次使他们知道我的手和我的能力,他们就知道我的名是耶和华了。”

Day of Disaster

16 Then the word of the Lord came to me: “You must not marry(A) and have sons or daughters in this place.” 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) “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)

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. “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. 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.

“And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.(O) 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.
