യിരെമ്യാവു 38

1 യിരെമ്യാവ് സകലജനത്തോടും പ്രസ്താവിച്ച വചനങ്ങൾ മത്ഥാന്റെ മകൻ ശെഫത്യാവും പശ്ഹൂരിന്റെ മകൻ ഗെദല്യാവും ശെലെമ്യാവിന്റെ മകൻ യെഹൂഖലും മൽക്കീയാവിന്റെ മകൻ പശ്ഹൂരും കേട്ടു. ഇപ്രകാരമായിരുന്നു അദ്ദേഹം സംസാരിച്ചത്:

౧“యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, ఈ పట్టణంలో నిలిచి ఉన్న వాళ్ళు ఖడ్గంతో, కరువుతో, తెగులుతో చస్తారు. కాని కల్దీయుల దగ్గరికి బయలుదేరి వెళ్ళేవాళ్ళు బతుకుతారు. అతడు తన జీవాన్ని ఒకడు కొల్లసొమ్ము దక్కించుకున్నట్టు దక్కించుకుంటాడు. ఎందుకంటే, అతడు బతుకుతాడు.”

2 “യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘ഈ നഗരത്തിൽ പാർക്കുന്നവർ വാൾകൊണ്ടും ക്ഷാമംകൊണ്ടും മഹാമാരികൊണ്ടും മരിക്കും. എന്നാൽ ബാബേല്യരുടെ അടുക്കലേക്കു പോകുന്നവർ ജീവിക്കും. അവരുടെ ജീവൻ അവർക്കു കൊള്ളകിട്ടിയതുപോലെ ആയിരിക്കും; അവൻ ജീവനോടെയിരിക്കും.’

౨యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు. “ఈ పట్టణం కచ్చితంగా బబులోను రాజు సైన్యం చేతికి అప్పగించడం జరుగుతుంది. అతడు దాన్ని చెరపట్టుకుంటాడు,” అని యిర్మీయా ప్రజలందరికీ ప్రకటించినప్పుడు,

3 യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘ഈ പട്ടണം തീർച്ചയായും ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ സൈന്യത്തിന്റെ കൈയിൽ ഏൽപ്പിക്കപ്പെടും; രാജാവ് അതിനെ പിടിച്ചടക്കും.’”

౩మత్తాను కొడుకు షెఫట్య, పషూరు కొడుకు గెదల్యా, షెలెమ్యా కొడుకు యూకలు, మల్కీయా కొడుకు పషూరు విన్నారు గనుక ఆ నాయకులు రాజుతో “ఈ మనిషి ఈ ప్రజల నాశనం కోరేవాడేగాని, క్షేమం కోరేవాడు కాదు.

4 അപ്പോൾ ആ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാർ രാജാവിനോടു പറഞ്ഞു: “ഈ മനുഷ്യൻ പറയുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങൾ നഗരത്തിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന സൈന്യത്തെയും അതുപോലെതന്നെ സകലജനത്തെയും നിരുത്സാഹപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ട് ഇയാളെ കൊന്നുകളയണം. ഈ മനുഷ്യൻ ഈ ജനത്തിന്റെ നന്മയല്ല, അവരുടെ നാശമാണ് ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നത്.”

౪ఇతను ఇలాంటి సమాచారం వాళ్లకు ప్రకటన చెయ్యడం వల్ల ఈ పట్టణంలో నిలిచి ఉన్న యోధుల చేతులను, ప్రజలందరి చేతులను బలహీనం చేస్తున్నాడు. ఇతనికి మరణశిక్ష విధించాలి” అన్నారు.

5 അതിനാൽ സിദെക്കീയാരാജാവ് ഇപ്രകാരം കൽപ്പിച്ചു: “ഇതാ, അയാൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ കൈയിൽ ഇരിക്കുന്നു. നിങ്ങൾക്കെതിരായി രാജാവിന് ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയുകയില്ല.”

౫అందుకు రాజైన సిద్కియా “అతడు మీ చేతిలో ఉన్నాడు. రాజు మీకు అడ్డం రాగలడా,” అన్నాడు.

6 അങ്ങനെ അവർ യിരെമ്യാവിനെ പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുപോയി കാവൽപ്പുരമുറ്റത്ത് രാജകുമാരനായ മൽക്കീയാവിന്റെ ജലസംഭരണിയിൽ ഇട്ടു. അവർ കയർകൊണ്ട് യിരെമ്യാവിനെ താഴേക്കിറക്കി. അതിൽ ചെളിയല്ലാതെ വെള്ളം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല, അങ്ങനെ യിരെമ്യാവ് ചെളിയിൽ താണു.

౬వాళ్ళు యిర్మీయాను పట్టుకుని చెరసాల ప్రాంగణంలో ఉన్న రాజకుమారుడు మల్కీయా గోతిలోకి దింపారు. అందులోకి యిర్మీయాను తాళ్ళతో దింపినప్పుడు ఆ గోతిలో నీళ్లు లేవు, బురద మాత్రమే ఉంది. ఆ బురదలో యిర్మీయా కూరుకుపోయాడు.

7 എന്നാൽ രാജകൊട്ടാരത്തിലെ ഒരു ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥനായിരുന്ന കൂശ്യനായ ഏബെദ്-മെലെക്ക്, അവർ യിരെമ്യാവിനെ ഒരു ജലസംഭരണിയിലിട്ട വാർത്ത കേട്ടു. അപ്പോൾ രാജാവ് ബെന്യാമീൻകവാടത്തിൽ ഇരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.

౭అప్పుడు, రాజగృహంలో, కూషీయుడైన ఎబెద్మెలెకు నపుంసకుల్లో ఒకడు. యిర్మీయాను గోతిలో పెట్టారని అతడు విన్నాడు. ఆ సమయంలో రాజు బెన్యామీను ద్వారం దగ్గర కూర్చుని ఉన్నాడు.

8 ഏബെദ്-മെലെക്ക് രാജകൊട്ടാരത്തിൽനിന്ന് ഇറങ്ങിച്ചെന്ന് രാജാവിനോട് ഇപ്രകാരം സംസാരിച്ചു:

౮కాబట్టి ఎబెద్మెలెకు రాజ గృహంలోనుంచి వెళ్లి రాజుతో ఇలా అన్నాడు,

9 “യജമാനനായ രാജാവേ, ഈ പുരുഷന്മാർ യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകനോടു ചെയ്തതെല്ലാം ദുഷ്ടതയാണ്. അവർ അദ്ദേഹത്തെ ആ ജലസംഭരണിയിൽ ഇട്ടുകളഞ്ഞല്ലോ. നഗരത്തിൽ ആഹാരമില്ലായ്കയാൽ അദ്ദേഹം അവിടെക്കിടന്ന് പട്ടിണികൊണ്ടു മരിച്ചുപോകും.”

౯“రాజా, నా ప్రభూ, ఆ గోతిలో వేసిన యిర్మీయా అనే ప్రవక్త పట్ల ఈ మనుషులు చేసిందంతా దుర్మార్గమే. అతడు ఆకలితో చావాలని అతన్ని గోతిలో పడేశారు. ఎందుకంటే పట్టణంలో ఆహారం ఇంక లేదు.”

10 അപ്പോൾ രാജാവ് കൂശ്യനായ ഏബെദ്-മെലെക്കിനോട് ഇപ്രകാരം കൽപ്പിച്ചു: “ഇവിടെനിന്നു നിന്റെ അധികാരത്തിൻ കീഴിലുള്ള മുപ്പതുപേരെ നിന്നോടൊപ്പം കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുപോയി യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകൻ മരിക്കുന്നതിനുമുമ്പ് അദ്ദേഹത്തെ ജലസംഭരണിയിൽനിന്ന് കയറ്റുക.”

౧౦అప్పుడు రాజు కూషీయుడైన ఎబెద్మెలెకుకు ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చి “నువ్వు ఇక్కడనుంచి 30 మంది మనుషులను వెంటబెట్టుకుని వెళ్లి, ప్రవక్త అయిన యిర్మీయా చావకముందు ఆ గోతిలోనుంచి అతన్ని తీయించు,” అన్నాడు.

11 അങ്ങനെ ഏബെദ്-മെലെക്ക് അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ അധികാരത്തിൻ കീഴിലുള്ള മുപ്പത് ആളുകളെ കൂട്ടിക്കൊണ്ട് കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ ഭണ്ഡാരമുറിക്കുകീഴേയുള്ള ഒരു സ്ഥലത്തുചെന്ന് അവിടെനിന്നു പഴയ തുണിയും കീറിയ തുണിക്കഷണങ്ങളും ശേഖരിച്ച് അവ കയറിൽ കെട്ടി ജലസംഭരണിൽ യിരെമ്യാവിന്റെ അടുക്കലേക്ക് ഇറക്കിക്കൊടുത്തു.

౧౧కాబట్టి ఎబెద్మెలెకు ఆ మనుషులను వెంటబెట్టుకుని రాజమందిరంలో ఖజానా కింద గదిలోకి వచ్చాడు.

12 കൂശ്യനായ ഏബെദ്-മെലെക്ക് യിരെമ്യാവിനോട്: “ഈ പഴയ തുണിയും കീറിയ തുണിക്കഷണങ്ങളും കയറിനുകീഴേ നിന്റെ കക്ഷത്തിൽ വെക്കുക” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

౧౨అక్కడ నుంచి పాతబడి చీకిపోయి, చినిగిపోయిన బట్టలు తీసుకువెళ్లి, ఆ గోతిలో ఉన్న యిర్మీయా పట్టుకునేలా తాళ్ళతో వాటిని దింపి “పాతవై చిరిగి చీకిపోయిన ఈ బట్టలతో పేనిన తాళ్ళను నీ చంకల కింద పెట్టుకో,” అని అతనితో చెప్పాడు.

13 അങ്ങനെ അവർ യിരെമ്യാവിനെ കയറുകൊണ്ടു ജലസംഭരണിയിൽനിന്നു വലിച്ചുകയറ്റി. അതിനുശേഷം യിരെമ്യാവ് കാവൽപ്പുരമുറ്റത്ത് താമസിച്ചു.

౧౩యిర్మీయా అలాగే చేశాడు. అప్పుడు వాళ్ళు యిర్మీయాను తాళ్ళతో లాగారు. ఈ విధంగా వాళ్ళు అతన్ని ఆ గోతిలోనుంచి పైకి లాగారు. ఆ తరువాత యిర్మీయా ఆ చెరసాల ప్రాంగణంలో ఉంటూ ఉన్నాడు.

14 അതിനുശേഷം സിദെക്കീയാരാജാവ് ആളയച്ച് യിരെമ്യാപ്രവാചകനെ യഹോവയുടെ ആലയത്തിലെ മൂന്നാം പ്രവേശനദ്വാരത്തിൽ തന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വരുത്തി. “ഞാൻ ഒരു കാര്യം താങ്കളോടു ചോദിക്കുകയാണ്. എന്നിൽനിന്ന് ഒന്നും മറച്ചുവെക്കരുത്,” എന്നു രാജാവ് യിരെമ്യാവിനോട് കൽപ്പിച്ചു.

౧౪తరువాత రాజైన సిద్కియా యెహోవా మందిరంలో ఉన్న మూడో ద్వారంలోకి ప్రవక్త అయిన యిర్మీయాను పిలిపించి, అతనితో “నేను నిన్ను ఒకటి అడగాలనుకుంటున్నాను. నా నుంచి ఏదీ దాచకుండా చెప్పు,” అన్నాడు.

15 അപ്പോൾ യിരെമ്യാവ് സിദെക്കീയാവിനോട്: “ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞാൽ അങ്ങ് എന്നെ കൊല്ലുകയില്ലേ? ഞാൻ അങ്ങയെ ഉപദേശിച്ചാൽ അങ്ങ് അതു കേൾക്കുകയുമില്ല” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

౧౫యిర్మీయా సిద్కియాతో “నేను నీకు జవాబు చెప్తే, కచ్చితంగా నువ్వు నాకు మరణ శిక్ష వేస్తావు. నేను నీకు సలహా ఇచ్చినా, నువ్వు నా మాట వినవు,” అన్నాడు.

16 എന്നാൽ സിദെക്കീയാരാജാവ് രഹസ്യത്തിൽ യിരെമ്യാവിനോട് ഇപ്രകാരം ശപഥംചെയ്തുപറഞ്ഞു: “ഈ ജീവൻ നമുക്കു തന്ന ജീവിക്കുന്ന യഹോവയാണെ, ഞാൻ തീർച്ചയായും താങ്കളെ കൊല്ലുകയോ താങ്കൾക്കു ജീവഹാനി വരുത്താൻ ശ്രമിക്കുന്ന ആളുകളുടെ കൈയിൽ താങ്കളെ ഏൽപ്പിക്കുകയോ ഇല്ല.”

౧౬కాని రాజైన సిద్కియా ఏకాంతంగా యిర్మీయాతో ప్రమాణం చేసి “మనలను సృష్టించిన యెహోవా తోడు, నేను నిన్ను చంపను, నిన్ను చంపాలని చూసేవాళ్ల చేతికి నిన్ను అప్పగించను,” అన్నాడు.

17 അപ്പോൾ യിരെമ്യാവ് സിദെക്കീയാവിനോട് പറഞ്ഞു: “ഇസ്രായേലിന്റെ ദൈവമായ സൈന്യങ്ങളുടെ യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരം അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നു: ‘അങ്ങ് കീഴടങ്ങി ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരുടെ അടുക്കലേക്കു ചെല്ലുന്നെങ്കിൽ അങ്ങ് ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കും; ഈ നഗരം അഗ്നിക്കിരയായി നശിപ്പിക്കപ്പെടുകയുമില്ല; അങ്ങും അങ്ങയുടെ കുടുംബവും ജീവനോടെ ശേഷിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും.

౧౭కాబట్టి యిర్మీయా సిద్కియాతో ఇలా అన్నాడు. “ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడు, సైన్యాలకు అధిపతి అయిన దేవుడు, యెహోవా ఇలా అంటున్నాడు, నువ్వు బబులోను రాజు అధిపతుల దగ్గరికి వెళ్తే బతుకుతావు. ఈ నగరాన్ని తగలబెట్టరు. నువ్వూ, నీ ఇంటి వాళ్ళు బతుకుతారు.

18 എന്നാൽ അങ്ങ് ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരുടെ അടുക്കൽ പുറത്തു ചെല്ലുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ ഈ നഗരം ബാബേല്യരുടെ കൈയിൽ ഏൽപ്പിക്കപ്പെടും. അവർ ഇതു തീവെച്ചു ചുട്ടുകളയും; അങ്ങുതന്നെയും അവരുടെ കൈയിൽനിന്ന് രക്ഷപ്പെടുകയുമില്ല.’”

౧౮కాని నువ్వు బబులోను అధిపతుల దగ్గరికి వెళ్లకపోతే, ఈ నగరాన్ని కల్దీయుల చేతికి అప్పగించడం జరుగుతుంది. వాళ్ళు అగ్నితో దాన్ని కాల్చేస్తారు. నువ్వు వాళ్ళ చేతిలోనుంచి తప్పించుకోలేవు.”

19 അപ്പോൾ സിദെക്കീയാരാജാവ് യിരെമ്യാവിനോട്: “ബാബേല്യരുടെ പക്ഷംചേർന്നിരിക്കുന്ന യെഹൂദ്യരെ ഞാൻ ഭയപ്പെടുന്നു, കാരണം ബാബേല്യർ എന്നെ അവരുടെപക്കൽ ഏൽപ്പിക്കുകയും അവർ എന്നെ അപമാനിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

౧౯అందుకు రాజైన సిద్కియా యిర్మీయాతో “కల్దీయుల పక్షంగా ఉన్న యూదులకు భయపడుతున్నాను. ఒకవేళ కల్దీయులు నన్ను వాళ్ళ చేతికి అప్పగిస్తే, వాళ్ళు నాపట్ల చెడ్డగా ప్రవర్తిస్తారు,” అన్నాడు.

20 യിരെമ്യാവു മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞത്: “അവർ അങ്ങയെ അവരുടെ കൈയിൽ ഏൽപ്പിക്കുകയില്ല. അങ്ങേക്കു നന്മയുണ്ടാകാനും അങ്ങു ജീവിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതിനും ഞാൻ അങ്ങയോടു പറയുന്ന കാര്യത്തിൽ യഹോവയെ അനുസരിച്ചാലും.

౨౦అందుకు యిర్మీయా “నిన్ను వాళ్ళ చేతికి అప్పగించరు. నీకు అన్నీ సవ్యంగా జరిగేలా, నువ్వు బతికేలా నేను నీతో చెప్పిన యెహోవా సందేశానికి లోబడు.

21 എന്നാൽ അങ്ങു കീഴടങ്ങാൻ വിസമ്മതിക്കുന്നെങ്കിലോ, യഹോവ ഇപ്രകാരമാണ് എനിക്കു വെളിപ്പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നത്:

౨౧కాని, నువ్వు ఒకవేళ బయలుదేరి వెళ్లకపోతే, యెహోవా నాకు చూపించిన సంగతి ఇదే.

22 ഇതാ, യെഹൂദാരാജാവിന്റെ കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ ശേഷിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള സകലസ്ത്രീകളും ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരുടെമുമ്പിലേക്ക് ആനയിക്കപ്പെടും. ആ സ്ത്രീകൾ അങ്ങയോട് ഇപ്രകാരം പറയും: “‘അങ്ങയുടെ വിശ്വസ്ത സ്നേഹിതന്മാർ അങ്ങയെ തെറ്റിദ്ധരിപ്പിച്ച് വശത്താക്കി. അങ്ങയുടെ കാൽ ചെളിയിൽ താണുപോയപ്പോൾ അവർ അങ്ങയെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചുകളഞ്ഞു.’

౨౨యూదా రాజమందిరంలో మిగిలి ఉన్న స్త్రీలందరినీ బబులోను అధిపతుల దగ్గరికి తీసుకెళ్ళడం జరుగుతుంది. అప్పుడు, చూడు! ఆ స్త్రీలు నిన్ను చూసి ఇలా అంటారు, ‘నీ స్నేహితులు నిన్ను మోసం చేసి నిన్ను నాశనం చేశారు. నీ పాదాలు బురదలో కూరుకుపోయి ఉన్నాయి. వాళ్ళు నిన్ను విడిచి పెట్టి పారిపోతారు.

23 “അവർ അങ്ങയുടെ എല്ലാ ഭാര്യമാരെയും പുത്രന്മാരെയും ബാബേല്യരുടെ അടുക്കലേക്കു കൊണ്ടുപോകും. അങ്ങുതന്നെയും അവരുടെ കൈയിൽനിന്ന് രക്ഷപ്പെടാതെ ബാബേൽരാജാവിന്റെ കൈയിൽ അകപ്പെടും. ഈ പട്ടണം ചുട്ടെരിക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യും.”

౨౩నీ భార్యలందరినీ, నీ పిల్లలనూ కల్దీయుల దగ్గరికి తీసుకెళ్ళడం జరుగుతుంది. నువ్వు కూడా వాళ్ళ చేతిలోనుంచి తప్పించుకోలేవు. బబులోను రాజుకు దొరికిపోతావు గనుక ఈ పట్టణాన్ని అగ్నితో కాల్చడానికి నువ్వే కారణం అవుతావు.’”

24 അപ്പോൾ സിദെക്കീയാവ് യിരെമ്യാവിനോടു പറഞ്ഞു: “ഈ സംഭാഷണം ഒരാളും അറിയരുത്. അറിഞ്ഞാൽ താങ്കൾ മരിച്ചിരിക്കും.

౨౪అప్పుడు సిద్కియా యిర్మీయాతో “నువ్వు చావకుండా ఉండాలంటే ఈ సంగతులు ఎవరికీ చెప్పొద్దు.

25 എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ താങ്കളോടു സംസാരിച്ചെന്നും താങ്കളുടെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നെന്നും പ്രഭുക്കന്മാർ അറിഞ്ഞിട്ട്, അവർ താങ്കളുടെ അടുക്കൽവന്ന്, ‘താങ്കൾ രാജാവിനോട് എന്താണു സംസാരിച്ചത്? രാജാവ് താങ്കളോട് എന്തു പറഞ്ഞു? ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് അതു മറയ്ക്കരുത്; അല്ലായെങ്കിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ താങ്കളെ വധിക്കും’ എന്നു പറയുന്നെങ്കിൽ

౨౫నేను నీతో మాట్లాడిన సంగతి అధిపతులకు తెలిస్తే, వాళ్ళు నీ దగ్గరికి వచ్చి, ‘రాజుతో ఏం మాట్లాడావో చెప్పు. మానుంచి దాచకు, లేకపోతే చంపేస్తాం. ఇంకా, రాజు నీతో చెప్పిన సంగతులు మాకు చెప్పు,’ అంటారు.

26 താങ്കൾ അവരോട്: ‘യോനാഥാന്റെ ഭവനത്തിൽവെച്ചു മരിക്കേണ്ടതിന് അവിടേക്കു മടങ്ങാൻ എന്നെ അനുവദിക്കരുത് എന്നിങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ രാജാവിന്റെ തിരുമുമ്പിൽ എന്റെ അപേക്ഷ സമർപ്പിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു’ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞുകൊള്ളണം.”

౨౬అప్పుడు నువ్వు వాళ్ళతో, ‘యోనాతాను ఇంటికి మళ్ళీ నన్ను పంపొద్దని, పంపితే నేను అక్కడ చనిపోతానని రాజుతో విన్నవించుకున్నాను,’ అని చెప్పాలి,” అన్నాడు.

27 അതിനുശേഷം പ്രഭുക്കന്മാരെല്ലാവരും യിരെമ്യാവിന്റെ അടുക്കൽവന്ന് അദ്ദേഹത്തെ ചോദ്യംചെയ്തു. അതിനാൽ രാജാവു കൽപ്പിച്ച ഈ വാക്കുകളെല്ലാം അദ്ദേഹം അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞു. അങ്ങനെ അവർ അദ്ദേഹത്തോടു സംസാരിക്കുന്നതു മതിയാക്കി. രാജാവുമായി നടത്തിയ സംഭാഷണം ആരും കേട്ടിരുന്നതുമില്ല.

౨౭అప్పుడు అధిపతులందరూ యిర్మీయా దగ్గరికి వచ్చి అడిగినప్పుడు అతడు రాజు చెప్పిన మాటల ప్రకారం వాళ్లకు జవాబిచ్చి ఆ విషయం వాళ్లకు తెలియజేయని కారణంగా వాళ్ళు అతనితో మాట్లాడడం ఆపారు. ఎందుకంటే యిర్మీయాతో రాజు చేసిన సంభాషణ వాళ్ళు వినలేదు.

28 അങ്ങനെ ജെറുശലേം പിടിക്കപ്പെടുന്നതുവരെയും യിരെമ്യാവ് കാവൽപ്പുരമുറ്റത്ത് താമസിച്ചു. ജെറുശലേം കീഴടക്കപ്പെട്ടത് ഇപ്രകാരമായിരുന്നു:

౨౮యెరూషలేము స్వాధీనం అయ్యే రోజు వరకూ యిర్మీయా ఆ చెరసాల ప్రాంగణంలోనే ఉన్నాడు.
