Ieremia 39
1 În anul al nouălea al lui Zedechia, împăratul lui Iuda, în luna a zecea, a venit Nebucadnețar, împăratul Babilonului, și toată armata lui împotriva Ierusalimului și l-au asediat.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias in the tenth year of king Sedekias, this is the eighteenth year of king Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon.
2 Și în anul al unsprezecelea al lui Zedechia, în luna a patra, în a noua zi a lunii, cetatea a fost spartă.
And the host of the king of Babylon had made a rampart against Jerusalem: and Jeremias was kept in the court of the prison, which is in the king's house;
3 Și toți prinții împăratului Babilonului au intrat și au șezut la poarta din mijloc, chiar Nergal-Șarețer, Samgar-Nebu, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-Șarețer, Rabmag, cu toată rămășița prinților împăratului Babilonului.
in which king Sedekias [had] shut him up, saying, Therefore do you prophesy, saying, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 Și s-a întâmplat, când i-a văzut Zedechia, împăratul lui Iuda, și toți bărbații de război, că au fugit și au ieșit din cetate noaptea, pe calea grădinii împăratului, prin poarta dintre cele două ziduri; și el a ieșit pe calea câmpiei.
and Sedekias shall by no means be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, for he shall certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall look upon his eyes;
5 Dar armata caldeenilor i-a urmărit și l-a ajuns pe Zedechia în câmpiile Ierihonului; și după ce l-au prins, l-au adus la Nebucadnețar, împăratul Babilonului, la Ribla în țara Hamatului, unde el a dat judecată asupra lui.
and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6 Atunci împăratul Babilonului i-a ucis pe fiii lui Zedechia, în Ribla, înaintea ochilor lui; de asemenea împăratul Babilonului a ucis pe toți nobilii lui Iuda.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING,
7 Mai mult, el i-a scos ochii lui Zedechia și l-a legat cu lanțuri, pentru a-l duce în Babilon.
Behold, Anameel the son of Salom your father's brother is coming to you, saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for you [have] the right to take [it] as a purchase.
8 Și caldeenii au ars casa împăratului și casele poporului cu foc și au dărâmat zidurile Ierusalimului.
So Anameel the son of Salom my father's brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy you my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for you [have] a right to buy it, and you are the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord.
9 Atunci Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzii, a dus captivă în Babilon, rămășița poporului care rămăsese în cetate și pe cei care fugiseră, care căzuseră în mâinile lui, împreună cu restul poporului care rămăsese.
And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Dar Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzii, a lăsat dintre cei săraci din popor, care nu aveau nimic, în țara lui Iuda; și în acel timp le-a dat vii și câmpuri.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11 Și Nebucadnețar, împăratul Babilonului, a dat poruncă, referitor la Ieremia, lui Nebuzaradan căpetenia gărzii, spunând:
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12 Ia-l și ai grijă de el și să nu îi faci nicio vătămare; ci să îi faci precum îți va spune.
and I gave it to Baruch son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, in the sight of Anameel my father's brother's son, and in the sight of the men that stood by and wrote in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of the Jews that were in the court of the prison.
13 Astfel Nebuzaradan, căpetenia gărzii, a trimis, și Nebușazban, Rabsaris și Nergal-Șarețer, Rabmag, și toți prinții împăratului Babilonului;
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus says the Lord Almighty;
14 Chiar ei au trimis și l-au luat pe Ieremia din curtea închisorii și l-au dat lui Ghedalia, fiul lui Ahicam, fiul lui Șafan, ca să îl ducă acasă; astfel el a locuit printre popor.
Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and you shall put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days.
15 Și cuvântul DOMNULUI a venit la Ieremia, în timp ce el era închis în curtea închisorii, spunând:
For thus says the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16 Du-te și vorbește-i lui Ebed-Melec etiopianul, spunând: Astfel spune DOMNUL oștirilor, Dumnezeul lui Israel: Iată, voi aduce cuvintele mele asupra acestei cetăți spre rău și nu spre bine; și ele vor fi împlinite în acea zi înaintea ta.
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying,
17 Dar pe tine te voi elibera în acea zi, spune DOMNUL; și nu vei fi dat în mâna oamenilor de care te temi.
O [ever] living Lord! you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power, and with your high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from you.
18 Pentru că te voi elibera într-adevăr și tu nu vei cădea prin sabie, ci viața ta va fi ca pradă pentru tine; deoarece ți-ai pus încrederea în mine, spune DOMNUL.
Granting mercy to thousands, and recompensing the sins of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them: the great, the strong God;
the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in deeds, the great Almighty God, and Lord of great name: your eyes are upon the ways of the children of men, to give to every one according to his way:
who have wrought signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and amongst the inhabitants of the earth; and you did make for yourself a name, as at this day;
and you did bring out your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights;
and you gave them this land, which you did swear [to give] to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
and they went in, and took it; but they listened not to your voice, and walked not in your ordinances; they did none of the things which you did command them, and they caused all these calamities to happen to them.
Behold, a multitude is come against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans that fight against it, by the power of the sword, and the famine: as you have spoken, so has it happened.
And you say to me, Buy you the field for money; and I wrote a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall anything be hidden from me!
Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
and the Chaldeans shall come to war against this city, and they shall burn this city with fire, and shall burn down the houses wherein they burnt incense on the roofs thereof to Baal, and poured drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me.
For the children of Israel and the children of Juda alone did evil in my sight from their youth.
For this city was [obnoxious] to my anger and my wrath, from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from my presence,
because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and Juda, which they wrought to provoke me, they and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem.
And they turned the back to me, and not the face: whereas I taught them early in the morning, but they listened no more to receive instructions.
And they set their pollutions in the house, on which my name was called, by their uncleannesses.
And they built to Baal the altars that are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to offer their sons and their daughters to king Moloch; which things I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Juda to sin.
And now thus has the Lord God of Israel said concerning this city, of which you say, it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and banishment.
Behold, I [will] gather them out of every land, where I have scattered them in my anger, and my wrath, and great fury; and I will bring them back into this place, and will cause them to dwell safely:
and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a god.
And I will give them another way, and another heart, to fear me continually, and [that] for good to them and their children after them.
And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put my fear into their heart, that they may not depart from me.
And I will visit [them] to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, and with all my heart, and with all [my] soul.
For thus says the Lord; As I have brought upon this people all these great evils, so will I bring upon them all the good things which I pronounced upon them.
And there shall yet be fields bought in the land, of which you say, it shall be destitute of man and beast; and they are delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And they shall buy fields for money, and you shall write a book, and seal [it], and shall take the testimony of witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity.
