యిర్మీయా 47
1 ౧ ఫిలిష్తీ ప్రజలను గూర్చి ప్రవక్త అయిన యిర్మీయాకు యెహోవా నుండి వచ్చిన వాక్కు. ఈ వాక్కు ఫరో గాజా పై దండెత్తక ముందు వచ్చింది.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after that Nabuzardan the captain of the guard had let him go out of Rama, when he had taken him in manacles in the midst of the captivity of Juda, [even] those who were carried to Babylon.
2 ౨ “యెహోవా ఇలా చెప్తున్నాడు. చూడండి. ఉత్తర దిక్కున నీళ్ళు వరదలా పొర్లి పారుతున్నాయి. వాళ్ళు వెల్లువలా పొంగిన నదిలా ఉంటారు. తర్వాత వాళ్ళు దేశం పైనా, దాని పట్టణాల పైనా, దానిలో నివాసముండే వాళ్ళ పైనా వెల్లువలా ప్రవహిస్తారు! కాబట్టి అందరూ సహాయం కోసం మొర్ర పెడతారు. దేశంలోని ప్రజలందరూ విలపిస్తారు.
And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord your God has pronounced all these evils upon this place:
3 ౩ వాళ్ళ బలమైన గుర్రాల డెక్కలు నేలను తన్నే చప్పుడు వినిపించినప్పుడు, వాళ్ళ రథాల వేగం హోరుకూ, ఉరుము లాంటి వాటి చక్రాల శబ్దానికీ భయపడిన తండ్రులు తమ బలహీనత కారణంగా తమ పిల్లలకు సహాయం చేయరు.
and the Lord has done it; because you sinned against him, and listened not to his voice.
4 ౪ ఫిలిష్తీ వాళ్ళను నాశనం చేసే రోజు, తూరు, సీదోనులకు సహాయం చేయాలనుకునే వాళ్ళను కూడా నాశనం చేసే రోజు వస్తుంది. ఎందుకంటే యెహోవా ఫిలిష్తీ వాళ్ళనూ, కఫ్తోరు ద్వీపంలో మిగిలిపోయిన వాళ్ళనూ సర్వ నాశనం చేస్తాడు.
Behold, I have loosed you from the manacles that were upon your hands. If it seem good to you to go with me to Babylon, then will I set mine eyes upon you.
5 ౫ గాజా బోడిగా అయింది. అష్కెలోను విషయంలో అయితే, ఆ లోయలో మిగిలిన ఉన్న వాళ్ళు మౌనంగా ఉండిపోతారు. శోకంలో ఎంతకాలం నీకు నువ్వే గాయాలు చేసుకుంటావు?
But if not, depart; return to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed governor in the land of Juda, and dwell with him in the midst of the people in the land of Juda: to whatever places it seems good in your eyes to go, do you even go. And the captain of the guard made him presents, and let him go.
And he came to Godolias to Massepha, and lived in the midst of his people that was left in the land.
7 ౭ అష్కెలోను పైనా, సముద్ర తీర ప్రాంతాల పైనా దాడి చేయమని యెహోవా నీకు ఆజ్ఞాపించాడు కదా! నువ్వు ఇక మౌనంగా ఎలా ఉంటావు?
And all the leaders of the host that was in the country, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Godolias [governor] in the land, and they committed to him the men and their wives, whom [Nabuchodonosor had] not removed to Babylon.
8 ౮
And there came to Godolias to Massepha Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Joanan son of Caree, and Saraeas the son of Thanaemeth, and the sons of Jophe the Netophathite, and Ezonias son of the Mochathite, they and their men.
9 ౯
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying, Be not afraid before the children of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be better for you.
10 ౧౦
And, behold, I dwell in your presence at Massepha, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come against you: and do you gather grapes, and fruits, and oil, and put [them] into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which you have obtained possession of.
11 ౧౧
And all the Jews that were in Moab, and amongst the children of Ammon, and those [that were] in Idumea, and those [that were] in all [the rest of] the country, heard that the king of Babylon [had] granted a remnant to Juda, and that he had appointed over them Godolias the son of Achicam.
12 ౧౨
And they came to Godolias into the land of Juda, to Massepha, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.
13 ౧౩
And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host, who were in the fields, came to Godolias to Massepha,
14 ౧౪
and said to him, Do you indeed know that king Beleissa son of Ammon has sent Ismael to you to kill you? But Godolias believed them not.
15 ౧౫
And Joanan said to Godolias secretly in Massepha, I will go now and strike Ismael, and let no man know [it]; lest he kill you, and all the Jews that are gathered to you be dispersed, and the remnant of Juda perish.
16 ౧౬
But Godolias said to Joanan, Do not the thing, for you speak lies concerning Ismael.
