Yeremya 25
1 Yahuda Kralı Yoşiya oğlu Yehoyakim'in döneminin dördüncü yılında, RAB Yahuda halkıyla ilgili olarak Yeremya'ya seslendi. Nebukadnessar'ın Babil Kralı oluşunun birinci yılıydı bu.
After Jehoiakim had been ruling Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave me this message for all the people of Judah. It was during the year that King Nebuchadnezzar started to rule in Babylon.
2 Peygamber Yeremya Yahuda halkına ve Yeruşalim'de yaşayanlara RAB'bin sözünü aktararak şöyle dedi:
I spoke this message to all the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah:
3 Yirmi üç yıldır, Yahuda Kralı Amon oğlu Yoşiya'nın döneminin on üçüncü yılından bugüne dek, RAB bana sesleniyor. Ben de RAB'bin sözünü defalarca size aktardım, ama dinlemediniz.
“Yahweh has been giving me messages for 23 years. He started giving me messages when Josiah, the son of Amon, had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. And I have faithfully told you those messages, but you have not paid any attention to them.
4 RAB peygamber kullarını defalarca size gönderdi, ama dinlemediniz, kulak asmadınız.
Many times Yahweh has sent to you the prophets who served him, but you have not listened to them or paid any attention to what they said.
5 Sizi uyardılar, “Şimdi herkes kötü yolundan, kötü işlerinden dönsün ki, RAB'bin sonsuza dek size ve atalarınıza verdiği toprakta yaşayasınız” dediler,
Each time their message was this: ‘Turn from all your evil behavior [MET], from all the evil things that you have continually been doing. If you do that, you will be able to stay in this land that Yahweh gave to you and to your ancestors, [to belong to you] forever.
6 “Kulluk etmek, tapınmak için başka ilahların ardınca gitmeyin; elinizle yaptığınız putlarla beni öfkelendirmeyin ki, ben de size zarar vermeyeyim.”
Do not cause Yahweh to become angry by serving and worshiping idols that you have made with your hands. If you do not cause him to be angry, he will not punish/harm you.’
7 “Ama beni dinlemediniz” diyor RAB, “Sonuç olarak elinizle yaptığınız putlarla beni öfkelendirip kendinizi zarara soktunuz.”
And Yahweh says, ‘But you would not pay attention to the messages that I [gave to those prophets]. You caused me to become extremely angry by [your worshiping idols] that you had made with your own hands. That resulted in my punishing you.
8 Bunun için Her Şeye Egemen RAB diyor ki, “Madem sözlerimi dinlemediniz,
So [now, I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that because you have not paid attention to what I said,
9 ben de bütün kuzeydeki halkları ve kulum Babil Kralı Nebukadnessar'ı çağırtacağım” diyor RAB, “Onları bu ülkeye de burada yaşayanlarla çevresindeki bütün uluslara da karşı getireceğim. Bu halkı tamamen yok edeceğim, ülkelerini dehşet ve alay konusu edip sonsuz bir viraneye çevireceğim.
I will gather all [the armies of] the nations that will come from the northeast. I have appointed King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lead them. I have appointed him to do my work for me. I will bring those [armies] to attack this land and nearby countries. I will completely destroy them, and cause them to be places that people are horrified about, and that people will (ridicule/act contemptuously toward), places that will be ruined forever.
10 Sevinç ve neşe sesini, gelin güvey sesini, değirmen taşlarının sesini, kandil ışığını onlardan uzaklaştıracağım.
I will cause happy singing and laughing to cease in your land. There will no longer be brides and bridegrooms talking [joyfully]. There will not be the sound of people grinding [grain] with millstones. There will be no lamps lit [in your houses].
11 Bütün ülke bir virane, dehşet verici bir yer olacak. Bu uluslar Babil Kralı'na yetmiş yıl kulluk edecekler.
All of this land will become a desert where no one will live. And [the people of] Israel and of the nearby countries will [will be exiled to Babylonia and] (work for/be slaves of) the kings of Babylon for seventy years.
12 “Ama yetmiş yıl dolunca” diyor RAB, “Suçları yüzünden Babil Kralı'yla ulusunu, Kildan ülkesini cezalandıracak, sonsuz bir viranelik haline getireceğim.
Then, after [they have been in Babylonia for] seventy years, I will punish the King of Babylonia and his people for the sins that they have committed. I will cause Babylonia to become a wasteland/desert forever.
13 O ülke için söylediklerimin hepsini, Yeremya'nın uluslara ettiği bu kitapta yazılı bütün peygamberlik sözlerini ülkenin başına getireceğim.
I will cause them to experience all the terrible things that Jeremiah has written about—all the punishments that he predicted will happen to all those nations.
14 Pek çok ulus, büyük krallar onları köle edinecek. Yaptıklarına ve ellerinden çıkan işe göre karşılık vereceğim onlara.”
The leaders of many nations will cause the people of Babylonia to become their slaves, like the people of Babylonia caused my people to become slaves. I will punish them like they deserve for [having caused my people to suffer].’”
15 İsrail'in Tanrısı RAB bana şöyle dedi: “Elimdeki öfke şarabıyla dolu kâseyi al, seni göndereceğim bütün uluslara içir.
Then Yahweh, the God [we] Israelis [worship], gave me [a vision. In the vision he was holding a cup of wine]. He said, “Take from me this cup that is full of [wine that represents] punishment [MTY]. I will cause all [the leaders of] the nations to which I will send you to drink [some of] the wine in this cup.
16 Şarabı içince sendeleyecek, üzerlerine göndereceğim kılıç yüzünden çıldıracaklar.”
When they drink [the wine], they will stagger and act like crazy people, because [they will realize that] I will (massacre many of their people/cause many of their people to be killed) [MTY] with swords.”
17 Böylece kâseyi RAB'bin elinden alıp beni gönderdiği bütün uluslara içirdim:
So, [in the vision, ] I took that cup [full of wine] from Yahweh, and I took it to all the nations to which he sent me, and caused [the leaders of those] nations to drink [some of that wine].
18 Bugün olduğu gibi viranelik, dehşet ve alay konusu, lanetlik olsunlar diye Yeruşalim'e, Yahuda kentlerine, krallarıyla önderlerine;
[I went to] Jerusalem and the [other] towns in Judah, and the king and [the other] officials drank [some of the wine] from that cup. And, starting from that day, they all [eventually] were removed from having authority, and became [people whom others] (ridiculed/acted contemptuously towards), who were despised, and cursed.
19 Firavunla görevlilerine, önderlerine ve halkına,
[In the vision I went to] Egypt [and gave some of the wine] to the king and his officials and many of his people,
20 Mısır'da yaşayan bütün yabancılara; Ûs krallarına, Filist krallarına –Aşkelon'a, Gazze'ye, Ekron'a, Aşdot'tan sağ kalanlara–
and to foreigners who were living there. [In the vision I also went to] Uz land and to Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and Ashdod [cities and gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
21 Edom'a, Moav'a, Ammon'a;
[Then in the vision I went to the] Edom, Moab, and Ammon [people-groups],
22 bütün Sur ve Sayda krallarına, deniz aşırı ülkelerin krallarına;
and to Tyre and Sidon [cities] and to areas across the [Mediterranean] Sea, and [gave some of the wine] to the kings [of those places].
23 Dedan'a, Tema'ya, Bûz'a, zülüflerini kesen bütün halklara;
[In the vision I then went] to Dedan, Tema, and Buz [cities in Arabia] and to other distant places (OR, places where people cut their hair short), [and gave some of the wine to leaders in those areas].
24 Arabistan krallarına, çölde yaşayan yabancı halkın krallarına;
[In the vision I also went to other places in] Arabia and to the [kings of tribes] in the desert
25 Zimri, Elam, Med krallarına;
and to the kings of the Zimri, Elam, and Media [people-groups],
26 sırasıyla uzak yakın bütün kuzey krallarına, yeryüzündeki bütün ulusların krallarına içirdim. Hepsinden sonra Şeşak Kralı da içecektir.
and to kings in countries to the north that are near [to Israel] and to countries that are far [from Israel], one after the other— [I went to] all the kingdoms in the world [HYP]. And finally, [in my vision I went to] Babylon, and gave [some of] the wine to the king of Babylon—the wine [that symbolized that Yahweh would punish the people of Babylon because he was angry with them] [MTY].
27 “Sonra onlara de ki, ‘İsrail'in Tanrısı, Her Şeye Egemen RAB şöyle diyor: Üzerinize salacağım kılıç yüzünden sarhoş olana dek için, kusun, düşüp kalkmayın.’
Then [in the vision Yahweh said to me], “Tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Drink [from this cup some of the wine that represents the punishment that I will give you]. Drink [a lot of it] and become drunk and vomit. You will fall down and not get up again, because I will cause you to be killed in wars [MTY] that I will send to you.
28 Eğer kâseyi elinden alır, içmek istemezlerse, de ki, ‘Her Şeye Egemen RAB şöyle diyor: Kesinlikle içeceksiniz!
If any of those to whom you give this wine [MTY] refuse to drink it, tell them that the Commander of the armies of angels says that they must drink it.
29 Bana ait olan kentin üzerine felaket getirmeye başlıyorum. Cezasız kalacağınızı mı sanıyorsunuz? Sizi cezasız bırakmayacağım. İşte dünyada yaşayan herkesin üzerine kılıcı çağırıyorum. Her Şeye Egemen RAB böyle diyor.’
I am starting to cause the people of my own city to experience disaster. [Do you think that] you should not be punished [RHQ]? No, you will surely be punished [LIT] because I am causing there to be wars in all the nations on the earth. [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.’
30 “Bütün bu peygamberlik sözlerini onlara ilet: “‘Yükseklerden kükreyecek RAB, Kutsal konutundan gürleyecek, Ağılına şiddetle kükreyecek. Dünyada yaşayanların tümüne Üzüm ezenler gibi bağıracak.
Now tell them all those things that I have said, and also say this to them: ‘Yahweh will [shout to them] from his holy dwelling [in heaven] [MTY] and [it will sound like] the roar of a lion. He will shout like [SIM] people shout when they are treading on grapes [to make juice for wine]; he will shout to everyone on the earth.
31 Gürültü yeryüzünün dört yanında yankılanacak. Çünkü RAB uluslara dava açacak; Herkesi yargılayacak Ve kötüleri kılıca teslim edecek’” diyor RAB.
Even people in very remote places around the earth will hear him shouting, because he will say why he will judge and punish all the nations. He will cause the wicked people to be slaughtered with swords. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.’
32 Her Şeye Egemen RAB diyor ki, “İşte felaket ulustan ulusa yayılıyor! Dünyanın dört bucağından büyük kasırga kopuyor.”
Then tell them that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Listen to this! There will be disasters in one nation after another. [I am preparing to punish them like] [MET] a great storm that starts in the most distant places on the earth.
33 O gün RAB dünyayı bir uçtan bir uca öldürülenlerle dolduracak. Onlar için yas tutulmayacak, toplanıp gömülmeyecekler. Toprağın üzerinde gübre gibi kalacaklar.
When that happens, [the corpses of] those whom I have [caused to be] slaughtered will fill the earth from the east to the west. And no one will mourn for them, and no one will gather their corpses to bury them. They will be [scattered] on the ground like manure.
34 Haykırın, ey çobanlar, Acı acı bağırın! Toprakta yuvarlanın, ey sürü başları! Çünkü boğazlanma zamanınız doldu, Değerli bir kap gibi düşüp parçalanacaksınız.
You [evil] leaders, weep and moan! You who should take care of my people, [fall down and] roll in the dust/dirt. It is time for you to be slaughtered; you will fall down and be shattered like a fragile vase [shatters when it falls to the ground].
35 Çobanlar kaçamayacak, Sürü başları kurtulamayacak!
You will not find any place to hide, there will be no place to which you can escape.
36 Duy çobanların haykırışını, Sürü başlarının bağırışını! RAB onların otlaklarını yok ediyor.
[People will] listen to your leaders crying when [I], Yahweh, am ruining your nation.
37 RAB'bin kızgın öfkesi yüzünden Güvenlikte oldukları ağıllar yok oldu.
Your peaceful meadows will become a wasteland/desert because I will be extremely angry.
38 İnini terk eden genç aslan gibi, RAB inini bıraktı. Zorbanın kılıcı Ve RAB'bin kızgın öfkesi yüzünden Ülkeleri viraneye döndü.
I will leave [my dwelling like] [SIM] a lion leaves its den [to attack other animals], and I will cause your land to become desolate when I, because I am very angry [with you], cause [your enemies to slaughter you with their] swords.’”
