Yeremya 8
1 “‘O zaman, diyor RAB, Yahuda krallarıyla önderlerinin, kâhinlerin, peygamberlerin, Yeruşalim'de yaşamış olanların kemikleri mezarlarından çıkarılacak.
Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
2 Toplanmayacak, gömülmeyecek kemikler, toprağın üzerinde gübre gibi olacaklar. Yeruşalim halkının sevdiği, kulluk ettiği, izlediği, danıştığı, taptığı güneşin, ayın, gök cisimlerinin önüne serilecekler.
They will take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
3 Bu kötü ulustan bütün sağ kalanlar, kendilerini sürdüğüm yerlerde yaşayanlar, ölümü yaşama yeğleyecekler. Her Şeye Egemen RAB böyle diyor.’
And all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
4 “Onlara de ki, ‘RAB şöyle diyor: “‘İnsan yere düşer de kalkmaz mı, Yoldan sapar da geri dönmez mi?
[Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
5 Öyleyse neden bu halk yoldan saptı? Neden Yeruşalim sürekli döneklik ediyor? Hileye yapışıyor, Geri dönmeyi reddediyorlar.
[Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
6 Dikkatle dinledim, Ama doğru söylemiyorlar. Kimse, ne yaptım, diyerek kötülüğünden pişmanlık duymuyor. Savaşta seğirten at gibi Herkes kendi yoluna gidiyor.
I have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a battle.
7 Gökteki leylek bile Belli mevsimlerini bilir. Kumru da kırlangıç da turna da Göç etme zamanını gözetir. Oysa halkım buyruklarımı bilmez.
All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
8 “‘Nasıl, biz bilge kişileriz, RAB'bin Yasası bizdedir, diyebiliyorsunuz? İşte, bilginlerin yalancı kalemi Yasayı yalana çevirmiş.
Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
9 Bilgeler utandırıldı, Yıldırılıp ele geçirildi. RAB'bin sözünü reddettiler. Nasıl bir bilgelikmiş onlarınki?
Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
10 Bundan ötürü karılarını başkalarına, Tarlalarını sahiplenecek yeni kişilere vereceğim. Küçük büyük herkes kazanç peşinde, Peygamberler, kâhinler, hepsi halkı aldatıyor.
So, I will give their wives to other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
11 Esenlik yokken, Esenlik, esenlik, diyerek Halkımın yarasını sözde iyileştirdiler.
[They act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
12 Yaptıkları iğrençliklerden utandılar mı? Hayır, ne utanması? Kızarıp bozarmanın ne olduğunu bile bilmiyorlar. Bu yüzden onlar da düşenlerin arasında yer alacak, Cezalandırıldıklarında sendeleyip düşecekler’ diyor RAB.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
13 “‘Onları büsbütün yok edeceğim, diyor RAB, Ne asmada üzüm kalacak, Ne incir ağacında incir. Yaprakları solup kuruyacak. Onlara ne verdiysem, Ellerinden alınacak.’”
I will [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
14 “Neden burada oturup duruyoruz? Toplanalım da surlu kentlere kaçalım, Orada ölelim! Tanrımız RAB bizi ölüme terk etti, Bize zehirli su içirdi. Çünkü O'na karşı günah işledik.
[Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison to drink, because we sinned against him.
15 Esenlik bekledik, iyilik gelmedi. Şifa umduk, yılgınlık bulduk.
We hoped/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
16 Düşman atlarının hırıltısı Dan bölgesinden duyuluyor, Aygırlarının kişnemesinden Bütün ülke titriyor. Ülkeyi ve içindeki her şeyi, Kenti ve orada yaşayanları Yok etmeye geliyorlar.”
People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
17 “Bakın, aranıza yılanlar, Büyüden etkilenmeyen engerekler göndereceğim, Sizi sokacaklar” diyor RAB.
[Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
18 Üzüntüm avutulamaz, Yüreğim baygın,
I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
19 Ülkenin en uzak köşelerinden Halkımın feryadını dinleyin: “RAB Siyon'da değil mi? Kralı orada değil mi?” RAB, “Putlarıyla, İşe yaramaz yabancı ilahlarıyla Neden öfkelendiriyorlar beni?” diyor.
Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
20 “Ürün biçme zamanı geçti, Yaz sona erdi, Biz ise kurtulmadık” diye haykırıyorlar.
[The people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
21 Halkımın yarasından ben de yaralandım. Yasa büründüm, dehşete düştüm.
I cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
22 Gilat'ta merhem yok mu, Hekim yok mu? Öyleyse halkımın yarası neden iyi edilmedi?
[I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
