< Jeremias 39 >

1 At nangyari nang masakop ang Jerusalem, (nang ikasiyam na taon ni Sedechias na hari sa Juda, sa ikasangpung buwan, dumating si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, at ang kaniyang buong hukbo laban sa Jerusalem, at kinubkob;
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 Nang ikalabing isang taon ni Sedechias, nang ikaapat na buwan, nang ikasiyam na araw ng buwan, isang sira ay nagawa sa bayan),
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 Na ang lahat ng mga prinsipe ng hari sa Babilonia, ay nagsipasok, at nagsiupo sa gitnang pintuang-bayan, si Nergal-sarezer, si Samgar-nebo, si Sarsechim, si Rabsaris, si Nergal-sarezer, si Rab-mag, sangpu ng nalabi sa mga prinsipe ng hari sa Babilonia.
in which king Sedekias [had] shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 At nangyari, na nang makita sila ni Sedechias na hari, sa Juda at ng lahat na lalaking mangdidigma, ay nagsitakas nga sila, at nagsilabas sa bayan nang kinagabihan, sa daan ng halamanan ng hari, sa pintuang-bayan sa pagitan ng dalawang kuta; at siya'y lumabas sa daan ng Araba.
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 Nguni't hinabol sila ng hukbo ng mga Caldeo, at inabot si Sedechias sa mga kapatagan ng Jerico: at nang kanilang mahuli siya, isinampa nila siya kay Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia sa Ribla, sa lupain ng Hamath, at kaniyang nilapatan siya ng kahatulan.
and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6 Nang magkagayo'y pinatay ng hari sa Babilonia ang mga anak ni Sedechias sa Ribla sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata; pinatay rin ng hari sa Babilonia ang lahat na mahal na tao sa Juda.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING,
7 Bukod dito'y kaniyang binulag ang mga mata ni Sedechias, at inilagay siya sa pangawan, upang dalhin siya sa Babilonia.
Behold, Anameel the son of Salom thy father's brother is coming to thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for thou [hast] the right to take [it] as a purchase.
8 At sinunog ng mga Caldeo ng apoy ang bahay ng hari, at ang mga bahay ng mga tao, at ibinagsak ang mga kuta ng Jerusalem.
So Anameel the son of Salom my father's brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy thee my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for thou [hast] a right to buy it, and thou art the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord.
9 Nang magkagayo'y dinalang bihag sa Babilonia ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay, ang nalabi sa mga tao na naiwan sa bayan, gayon din ang nagsilipat na nagsikampi sa kaniya, at ang nalabi sa bayan na naiwan.
And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Nguni't iniwan ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay ang mga dukha sa bayan, na walang tinatangkilik sa lupain ng Juda, at binigyan sila ng mga ubasan at ng mga bukid sa panahon ding yaon.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11 Si Nabucodonosor nga na hari sa Babilonia ay nagbilin kay Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay ng tungkol kay Jeremias, na sinasabi;
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12 Kunin mo siya, at ingatan mo siyang mabuti, at huwag mo siyang saktan; kundi gawin mo sa kaniya ang kaniyang sasabihin sa iyo.
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 Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay, at si Nabusazban, si Rab-saris, at si Nergal-sareser, si Rab-mag, at lahat ng punong oficial ng hari sa Babilonia;
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus saith the Lord Almighty;
14 Sila'y nangagsugo, at kinuha si Jeremias sa looban ng bantay, at kanilang ipinagbilin siya kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na anak ni Saphan, na kaniyang iuwi siya. Sa gayo'y tumahan siya sa gitna ng bayan.
Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and thou shalt put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days.
15 Ang salita nga ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jeremias, samantalang siya'y nakukulong sa looban ng bantay, na nagsasabi,
For thus saith the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16 Ikaw ay yumaon, at magsalita kay Ebed-melec na taga Etiopia, na magsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Narito, aking dadalhin ang aking salita sa bayang ito sa ikasasama, at hindi sa ikabubuti; at mangatutupad sa harap mo sa araw na yaon.
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying,
17 Nguni't ililigtas kita sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon; at hindi ka mabibigay sa kamay ng mga lalake na iyong kinatatakutan.
O [ever] living Lord! thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power, and with thy high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from thee.
18 Sapagka't tunay na ililigtas kita, at ikaw ay hindi ibubuwal ng tabak, kundi ang iyong buhay ay magiging pinakasamsam sa iyo; sapagka't iyong inilagak ang iyong tiwala sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.
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: thine eyes are upon the ways of the children of men, to give to every one according to his way:
who hast wrought signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and thou didst make for thyself a name, as at this day;
and thou didst bring out thy 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 thou gavest them this land, which thou didst swear [to give] to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
and they went in, and took it; but they hearkened not to thy voice, and walked not in thine ordinances; they did none of the things which thou didst 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 thou hast spoken, so has it happened.
And thou sayest to me, Buy thee 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 saith 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 hearkened 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 thou sayest, 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 saith 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 thou sayest, 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 thou shalt write a book, and seal [it], and shalt 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.
