The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 31

 The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 31

1 At that time, declares the Lord, I will be the God of all the generations of Israel, and they will be my people.

2 This is what the Lord says: “The people who escaped the sword found favor in the wilderness, Israel, when I give them rest.”

3 The Lord appeared to me long ago, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

4 Again I will build you up, and you will be rebuilt, Virgin Israel! Again you will take up your tambourines and go out with the joyful dance.

5 Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters will plant and enjoy the fruit.

6 For there will be a day when watchmen will cry out on the mountains of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.’” 7 For thus says the Lord: Sing with joy for Jacob, and shout for the Chief of the nations; proclaim, give praises, and say, “O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel.”

8 Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from the ends of the earth; and with them the blind and the lame, pregnant women and those in labor together; a great company shall return here.

9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them; I will guide them to streams of water, on a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the distant isles, and say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him and keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.”

11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of him that was stronger than he.

12 So they shall come and sing on the height of Zion, and shall run to the goodness of the Lord, to the grain, and to the wine, and to the oil, to the lambs and to the calves; and their soul shall be like a watered garden, and they shall be no more sorrowful.

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and also the young men and the old: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and turn their sorrow into rejoicing.

14 And I will satisfy the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be filled with my goodness, saith the Lord.

15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping: Rachel weeping for her children, and shall not receive comfort for them, because they are not.

16 This is what the Lord says: “Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” declares the Lord, “and they will return from the land of the enemy.”

17 “There is hope for your descendants in the end,” declares the Lord, “for your children will return to their own land.”

18 I have surely heard Ephraim lamenting: “You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained calf. Turn me back, and I will be restored, for you are the Lord my God.”

19 “Surely after I turned back, I repented; after I understood myself, I struck my thigh; I was ashamed, yes, I was confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.”

20 “Is not Ephraim my precious son, the child of my delight?” Because after I speak against him, I still remember him intently; therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have compassion on him, declares the Lord.

21 Set up road signs for yourself, raise up pillars for yourself; consider the highway, the road by which you went; return, Virgin Israel, return to your cities.

22 How long will you wander, rebellious daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on earth: a woman will embrace a man.

23 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “They will again say this in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I restore their fortunes: ‘The Lord bless you, O dwelling place of righteousness, O holy mountain!’”

24 Judah and all its cities will live there together, along with the farmers and those who tend the flocks.

25 For I satisfy the weary soul, and I replenish every sorrowful soul.

26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27 Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of men and with the seed of animals.

28 And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them to pluck up, and to break down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the Lord.

29 In those days they shall no more say, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”

30 But every man shall die for his own iniquity; the teeth of every man that eateth sour grapes shall be set on edge.

31 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord.

33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘I have known the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.

35 This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun for light by day and decrees the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the Lord Almighty is his name:

36 “If these decrees depart from before me,” declares the Lord, “then the descendants of Israel will cease to be a nation before me forever.”

37 This is what the Lord says: “If the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will reject all the descendants of Israel because of all that they have done,” declares the Lord.

38 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city shall be rebuilt for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.

39 The measuring line shall extend forward to the hill of Gareb and turn toward Goah.

40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord; they shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 31

 

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 31

 

1 Naquele tempo diz o Senhor, serei o Deus de todas as gerações de Israel, e elas serão o meu povo.

2 Assim diz o Senhor: O povo que escapou da espada achou graça no deserto; Israel mesmo, quando eu o fizer descansar.

3 Há muito que o Senhor me apareceu, dizendo: Pois que com amor eterno te amei, também com amorável benignidade te atraí.

4 Ainda te edificarei, e serás edificada, ó virgem de Israel! Ainda serás adornada com os teus adufes, e sairás com o coro dos que dançam.

5 Ainda plantarás vinhas nos montes de Samaria: os plantadores plantarão e gozarão dos frutos.

6 Porque haverá um dia em que gritarão os vigias sobre o monte de Efraim: Levantai-vos, subamos a Sião, ao Senhor nosso Deus.

7 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Cantai sobre Jacó com alegria, e exultai por causa do Chefe das gentes; proclamai, cantai louvores, e dizei: Salva, Senhor, o teu povo, o resto de Israel.

8 Eis que os trarei da terra do norte, e os congregarei das extremidades da terra; e com eles os cegos e aleijados, as mulheres grávidas e as de parto juntamente: em grande congregação voltarão para aqui.

9 Virão com choro, e com súplicas os levarei; guiá-los-ei aos ribeiros de águas, por caminho direito em que não tropeçarão; porque sou um pai para Israel, e Efraim é o meu primogênito.

10 Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, ó nações, e anunciai-a nas ilhas de longe, e dizei: Aquele que espalhou a Israel, o congregará e o guardará, como o pastor ao seu rebanho.

11 Porque o Senhor resgatou a Jacó, e o livrou da mão do que era mais forte do que ele.

12 Assim que virão, e exultarão na altura de Sião, e correrão aos bens do Senhor, ao trigo, e ao mosto, e ao azeite, aos cordeiros e aos bezerros; e a sua alma será como um jardim regado, e nunca mais andarão tristes.

13 Então a virgem se alegrará na dança, e também os mancebos e os velhos; e tornarei o seu pranto em alegria, e os consolarei, e transformarei em regozijo a sua tristeza.

14 E saciarei a alma dos sacerdotes de gordura, e o meu povo se fartará dos meus bens, diz o Senhor.

15 Assim diz o Senhor: Uma voz se ouviu em Ramá, lamentação, choro amargo: Raquel chora seus filhos, sem admitir consolação por eles, porque já não existem.

16 Assim diz o Senhor: Reprime a tua voz de choro, e as lágrimas de teus olhos: porque há galardão para o teu trabalho, diz o Senhor, pois eles voltarão da terra do inimigo.

17 E há esperanças no derradeiro fim para os teus descendentes, diz o Senhor, porque teus filhos voltarão para os seus termos.

18 Bem ouvi eu que Efraim se queixava, dizendo: Castigaste-me e fui castigado, como novilho ainda não domado: converte-me e converter-me-ei, porque tu és o Senhor meu Deus.

19 Na verdade que, depois que me converti, tive arrependimento; e depois que me conheci, bati na minha coxa: fiquei confuso; sim, envergonhei-me, porque suportei o opróbrio da minha mocidade.

20 Não é Efraim para mim um filho precioso? Criança das minhas delícias? Porque depois que falo contra ele, ainda me lembro dele solicitamente, por isso se comovem por ele as minhas entranhas: deveras me compadecerei dele, diz o Senhor.

21 Ergue para ti marcos, levanta para ti pirâmides, aplica o teu coração à vereda, ao caminho em que andaste: regressa, ó virgem de Israel, regressa a estas tuas cidades.

22 Até quando andarás vagabunda, ó filha rebelde? Porque o Senhor criou uma coisa nova na terra: uma mulher cercará um varão.

23 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Ainda dirão esta palavra na terra de Judá, e nas suas cidades, quando eu acabar o seu cativeiro: O Senhor te abençoe, ó morada de justiça, ó monte de santidade!

24 E nela habitarão Judá, e todas as suas cidades juntamente; como também os lavradores e os que andam com o rebanho.

25 Porque satisfaz a alma cansada, e toda a alma entristecida saciei.

26 Sobre isto despertei, e olhei, e o meu sono foi doce para mim.

27 Eis que dias vêm, diz o Senhor, em que semearei a casa de Israel, e a casa de Judá, com a semente de homens, e com a semente de animais.

28 E será que, como velei sobre eles, para arrancar, e para derrubar, e para transtornar, e para destruir, e para afligir, assim velarei sobre eles, para edificar e para plantar, diz o Senhor.

29 Naqueles dias nunca mais dirão: Os pais comeram uvas verdes, e os dentes dos filhos embotaram.

30 Mas cada um morrerá pela sua iniqüidade: de todo o homem que comer as uvas verdes os dentes se embotarão.

31 Eis que dias vêm, diz o Senhor, em que farei um concerto novo com a casa de Israel e com a casa de Judá.

32 Não conforme o concerto que fiz com seus pais, no dia em que os tomei pela mão, para os tirar da terra do Egito; porquanto eles invalidaram o meu concerto, apesar de eu os haver desposado, diz o Senhor.

33 Mas este é o concerto que farei com a casa de Israel depois daqueles dias, diz o Senhor: Porei a minha lei no seu interior, e a escreverei no seu coração; e eu serei o seu Deus e eles serão o meu povo.

34 E não ensinará alguém mais a seu próximo nem alguém a seu irmão, dizendo: Conheci ao Senhor: porque todos me conhecerão, desde o mais pequeno deles até ao maior, diz o Senhor; porque lhes perdoarei a sua maldade, e nunca mais me lembrarei dos seus pecados.

35 Assim diz o Senhor, que dá o sol para luz do dia, e as ordenanças da lua e das estrelas para luz da noite, que fende o mar, e faz bramir as suas ondas; o Senhor dos Exércitos é o seu nome.

36 Se se desviarem estas ordenanças de diante de mim, diz o Senhor, deixará também a semente de Israel de ser uma nação diante de mim para sempre.

37 Assim disse o Senhor: Se puderem ser medidos os céus para cima, e sondados os fundamentos da terra para baixo, também eu rejeitarei toda a semente de Israel, por tudo quanto fizeram, diz o Senhor.

38 Eis que dias vêm, diz o Senhor, em que esta cidade será reedificada para o Senhor, desde a torre de Hananeel até à porta da esquina.

39 E a linha de medir estender-se-á para diante, até ao outeiro de Garebe, e virar-se-á para Goá.

40 E todo o vale dos cadáveres e da cinza, e todos os campos até ao ribeiro de Cedrom, até à esquina da porta dos cavalos para o oriente, serão consagrados ao Senhor; não se arrancarão nem se derrubarão mais eternamente.

 

 

 

 

 

पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 30 भगवान अपने लोगों को कैद से वापस लाने का वादा करते हैं

 पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 30

भगवान अपने लोगों को कैद से वापस लाने का वादा करते हैं

1 यिर्मयाह के पास प्रभु की तरफ से यह बात आई:

2 इस्राएल का परमेश्वर प्रभु यह कहता है: मैंने जो भी बातें तुमसे कही हैं, उन्हें एक किताब में लिख लो:

3 क्योंकि देखो, प्रभु यह कहता है, ऐसे दिन आ रहे हैं, जब मैं अपने लोगों इस्राएल और यहूदा की किस्मत बदल दूंगा, प्रभु यह कहता है; और मैं उन्हें उस ज़मीन पर वापस ले आऊंगा जो मैंने उनके पुरखों को दी थी, और वे उस पर कब्ज़ा करेंगे।

4 और ये वे बातें हैं जो प्रभु ने इस्राएल और यहूदा के बारे में कही थीं।

5 क्योंकि प्रभु यह कहता है: हमने कांपने और डर की आवाज़ सुनी है, लेकिन शांति की नहीं।

6 अब पूछो और देखो कि क्या कोई आदमी लेबर पेन में है। फिर मैं हर आदमी को लेबर पेन में औरत की तरह अपनी कमर पर हाथ रखे हुए क्यों देखता हूँ? और सबके चेहरे पीले क्यों पड़ गए हैं?

7 अफ़सोस! क्योंकि वह दिन इतना बड़ा है कि उसके जैसा दूसरा दिन कभी नहीं आया! और याकूब के लिए यह मुश्किल समय है; लेकिन वह इससे बच जाएगा।

8 क्योंकि सेनाओं का यहोवा कहता है, उस दिन ऐसा होगा कि मैं उसकी गर्दन से उसका जुआ तोड़ दूँगा, और तेरे बंधन तोड़ दूँगा; और अजनबी उन्हें फिर कभी गुलाम नहीं बनाएँगे:

9 बल्कि वे अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा और अपने राजा दाऊद की सेवा करेंगे, जिसे मैं उनके लिए खड़ा करूँगा।

10 हे मेरे सेवक याकूब, डरो मत, यहोवा कहता है; हे इस्राएल, घबराओ मत: क्योंकि देखो, मैं तुम्हें दूर से, और तुम्हारे वंश को उनकी गुलामी की ज़मीन से बचाऊँगा: याकूब लौटेगा, और आराम करेगा, और आराम से रहेगा, और कोई उसे डराएगा नहीं।

11 क्योंकि मैं तुम्हें बचाने के लिए तुम्हारे साथ हूँ, यहोवा कहता है: क्योंकि मैं उन सभी राष्ट्रों का अंत कर दूँगा जिनके बीच मैंने तुम्हें बिखेर दिया है: लेकिन मैं तुम्हारा अंत नहीं करूँगा; लेकिन मैं तुम्हें हद-से-ज़्यादा सज़ा दूँगा, और तुम्हें सज़ा दिए बिना किसी भी तरह नहीं छोड़ूँगा।

12 क्योंकि यहोवा यह कहता है: तुम्हारी चोट जानलेवा है; तुम्हारा घाव बहुत गहरा है।

13 तुम्हारा केस लड़ने वाला कोई नहीं है ताकि उसे ठीक किया जा सके; तुम्हारे पास कोई इलाज नहीं है जिससे तुम ठीक हो सको।

14 तुम्हारे सभी प्यार करने वाले तुम्हें भूल गए हैं, और वे तुम्हें ढूँढ़ते नहीं हैं; क्योंकि मैंने तुम्हारी बड़ी बुराई और तुम्हारे बहुत सारे पापों की वजह से तुम्हें दुश्मन जैसा घाव और बेरहम आदमी जैसी सज़ा दी है।

15 तुम अपनी चोट के कारण क्यों चिल्ला रहे हो? तुम्हारा दर्द जानलेवा है। तुम्हारी बड़ी बुराई और तुम्हारे बहुत सारे पापों की वजह से, मैंने ये काम किए हैं।

16 बल्कि जो तुम्हें खाते हैं वे भी खाए जाएँगे; और तुम्हारे सभी दुश्मन, वे सब के सब बंदी बना लिए जाएँगे; और जो तुम्हें लूटते हैं, वे लूटे जाएँगे, और जो तुम्हें लूटते हैं, उन सबको मैं लूटने के लिए दे दूँगा।

17 क्योंकि मैं तुम्हें ठीक कर दूँगा, और तुम्हारे घाव भर दूँगा, यहोवा कहता है; क्योंकि वे तुम्हें निकाला हुआ कहते हैं, “यह सिय्योन है,” क्योंकि अब कोई पूछता नहीं।

18 यहोवा यह कहता है: “देखो, मैं याकूब के तंबुओं की किस्मत ठीक कर दूँगा, और उसके घरों पर दया करूँगा; और शहर को उसके ढेर पर फिर से बनाया जाएगा, और महल पहले जैसा खड़ा रहेगा।

19 और उनमें से तारीफ़ और खुशी की आवाज़ आएगी; और मैं उन्हें बढ़ा दूँगा, और वे खत्म नहीं होंगे।

20 और उनके बच्चे पहले जैसे होंगे, और उनकी मंडली मेरे सामने बनी रहेगी; और मैं उनके सभी ज़ुल्म करने वालों को सज़ा दूँगा।

21 और उनका राजकुमार उनमें से होगा; और उनका शासक उनमें से आएगा, और मैं उसे अपने पास बुलाऊँगा, और वह मेरे पास आएगा; क्योंकि वह कौन है जिसने मेरे पास आने की कोशिश की है?” प्रभु कहते हैं।

22 और तुम मेरे लोग होगे, और मैं तुम्हारा परमेश्वर होऊंगा।

23 देखो, प्रभु का तूफ़ान, उसका गुस्सा, निकल आया है, एक ज़बरदस्त तूफ़ान; यह दुष्टों के सिर पर बेरहमी से पड़ेगा।

24 प्रभु का भयंकर गुस्सा तब तक नहीं रुकेगा जब तक वह काम पूरा नहीं कर लेता, और जब तक वह अपने दिल के इरादे पूरे नहीं कर लेता; आने वाले दिनों में तुम यह समझ जाओगे।

The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 30 God promises to bring His people back from captivity

 The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 30

God promises to bring His people back from captivity

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you:

3 For behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah, says the Lord; and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 And these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

5 For thus says the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, but not of peace.

6 Ask now and see if a man is in labor pains. Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? And why have all faces turned pale?

7 Alas! For that day is so great that there has never been another like it! And it is a time of distress for Jacob; but he shall be delivered out of it.

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds; and strangers shall no more make them slaves:

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

10 Fear not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: Jacob shall return, and shall rest, and shall be at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: for I will make an end of all the nations among whom I have scattered thee: but I will not make an end of thee; but I will chasten thee in measure, and will by no means leave thee unpunished.

12 For thus says the Lord: Your injury is mortal; your wound is grievous.

13 There is no one to plead your cause that it may be bound up; you have no remedies that can heal.

14 All your lovers have forgotten you, and they do not seek you; for I have struck you with the wound of an enemy, and with the punishment of a cruel man, because of the greatness of your wickedness and the multitude of your sins.

15 Why do you cry out because of your injury? Your pain is mortal. Because of the greatness of your wickedness and the multitude of your sins, I have done these things.

16 But also all who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries shall go, all of them into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be plundered, and all who despoil you I will give over to plunder.

17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord; For they call you the outcast, saying, “It is Zion,” for no one asks anymore.

18 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwellings; and the city shall be rebuilt upon its heap, and the palace shall stand as before.

19 And out of them shall come praise and the voice of rejoicing; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be consumed.

20 And their children shall be as in former times, and their congregation shall be established before my face; and I will punish all their oppressors.

21 And their prince shall be of them; and their ruler shall come from among them, and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach me; for who is he that has endeavored to approach me?” says the Lord.

22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Behold, the storm of the Lord, his indignation, has gone forth, a sweeping storm; it will fall cruelly upon the head of the wicked.

24 The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back until he has executed, and until he has accomplished the purposes of his heart; in the latter days you will understand this.

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 30 Deus promete trazer do cativeiro o seu povo

 

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 30

Deus promete trazer do cativeiro o seu povo

 

1 A palavra que do Senhor veio a Jeremias, dizendo:

2 Assim fala o Senhor, Deus de Israel, dizendo: Escreve num livro todas as palavras que te tenho dito:

3 Porque eis que dias vêm, diz o Senhor, em que farei tornar o cativeiro do meu povo Israel e Judá, diz o Senhor; e torná-los-ei a trazer à terra que dei a seus pais, e a possuirão.

4 E estas são as palavras que disse o Senhor, acerca de Israel e de Judá.

5 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Ouvimos uma voz de tremor, de temor mas não de paz.

6 Perguntai pois e vede, se um homem tem dores de parto. Por que pois vejo a cada homem com as mãos sobre os lombos como a que está dando à luz? E por que se têm tornado macilentos todos os rostos?

7 Ah! Porque aquele dia é tão grande, que, não houve outro semelhante! E é tempo de angústia para Jacó: ele porém será livrado dela.

8 Porque será naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, que eu quebrarei o seu jugo de sobre o teu pescoço, e quebrarei as tuas ataduras; e nunca mais se servirão dele os estranhos;

9 Mas servirão ao Senhor, seu Deus, como também a Davi, seu rei, que lhes levantarei.

10 Não temas pois tu, servo meu Jacó, diz o Senhor, nem te espantes, ó Israel; porque eis que te livrarei das terras de longe, e a tua descendência da terra do seu cativeiro; e Jacó tornará, e descansará, e ficará em sossego, e não haverá quem o atemorize.

11 Porque eu sou contigo, diz o Senhor para te salvar; porquanto darei fim a todas as nações entre as quais te espalhei; a ti porém não darei fim, mas castigar-te-ei com medida, e de todo não te terei por inocente.

12 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Teu quebrantamento é mortal; a tua chaga é dolorosa.

13 Não há quem defenda a tua causa para que possa ser ligado; não tens remédios que possam curar.

14 Todos os teus amantes se esqueceram de ti, e não perguntam por ti; porque te feri com ferida de inimigo, e com castigo de cruel, pela grandeza da tua maldade e multidão de teus pecados.

15 Por que gritas em razão de teu quebrantamento? A tua dor é mortal. Pela grandeza de tua maldade, e multidão de teus pecados, eu fiz estas coisas.

16 Mas também todos os que te devoram serão devorados; e todos os teus adversários irão, todos eles para o cativeiro; e os que te roubam serão roubados, e a todos os que te despojam entregarei ao saque.

17 Porque te restaurarei a saúde, e te sararei as tuas chagas, diz o Senhor; pois te chamam a enjeitada, dizendo: É Sião, por que ninguém já pergunta.

18 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que acabarei o cativeiro das tendas de Jacó, e apiedar-me-ei das suas moradas; e a cidade será reedificada sobre o seu montão, e o palácio permanecerá como habitualmente.

19 E sairá deles o louvor e a voz de júbilo: e multiplicá-los-ei, e não serão acabados.

20 E seus filhos serão como na antiguidade, e a sua congregação será confirmada perante o meu rosto; e punirei todos os seus opressores.

21 E o seu príncipe será deles; e o seu governador sairá do meio deles, e o farei aproximar, e ele se chegará a mim; porque quem é aquele que se tem empenhado em se chegar a mim? Diz o Senhor.

22 E ser-me-eis por povo, e eu vos serei por Deus.

23 Eis que a tormenta do Senhor, a sua indignação, saiu, uma tormenta varredora: cairá cruelmente sobre a cabeça dos ímpios.

24 Não voltará atrás o furor da ira do Senhor, até que tenha executado, e até que tenha cumprido os desígnios do seu coração: no fim dos dias entendereis isto.

भविष्यवक्ता यिर्मयाह की पुस्तक 29 बेबीलोन में बंदियों को यिर्मयाह का पत्र

 

भविष्यवक्ता यिर्मयाह की पुस्तक 29

बेबीलोन में बंदियों को यिर्मयाह का पत्र

 

1 ये उस चिट्ठी के शब्द हैं जो यिर्मयाह नबी ने यरूशलेम को, बाकी बंदी बुज़ुर्गों को, साथ ही पुजारियों, नबियों और उन सभी लोगों को भेजी थी जिन्हें नबूकदनेस्सर यरूशलेम से बंदी बनाकर बेबीलोन ले गया था।

2 (जब राजा यहोयाकीन, रानी, खोजे, यहूदा और यरूशलेम के राजकुमार, और यरूशलेम के बढ़ई और लोहार चले गए थे),

3 शापान के बेटे एलासा और हिलकियाह के बेटे गेमारियाह के ज़रिए (जिन्हें यहूदा के राजा सिदकियाह ने बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर के पास बेबीलोन भेजा था), यह संदेश भेजा गया:

4 इस्राएल का परमेश्वर, सर्वशक्तिमान यहोवा, उन सभी लोगों से कहता है जिन्हें मैंने यरूशलेम से बंदी बनाकर बेबीलोन भेजा है:

5 घर बनाओ और उनमें रहो; बगीचे लगाओ और उनके फल खाओ।

6 पत्नियाँ ब्याह लो और बेटे-बेटियाँ पैदा करो; अपने बेटों के लिए पत्नियाँ ब्याह लो और अपनी बेटियाँ पतियों को दे दो, ताकि उनके भी बेटे-बेटियाँ पैदा हों; और वहाँ उनकी संख्या बढ़ती जाए, और घटे नहीं।

7 जिस शहर में मैंने तुम्हें बंदी बनाकर भेज दिया है, उसकी शांति का ध्यान रखो, और उसके लिए यहोवा से प्रार्थना करो; क्योंकि उसकी शांति में तुम्हें शांति मिलेगी।

8 क्योंकि सेनाओं का यहोवा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यह कहता है: तुम्हारे भविष्यद्वक्ता जो तुम्हारे बीच में हैं, तुम्हें धोखा न दें, न ही तुम्हारे भविष्य बताने वाले, और न ही तुम्हारे सपने जो तुम देखते हो उन पर ध्यान दो:

9 क्योंकि वे मेरे नाम से तुम्हारे लिए झूठी भविष्यवाणी कर रहे हैं; मैंने उन्हें नहीं भेजा, यहोवा कहता है।

10 क्योंकि यहोवा यह कहता है: बेबीलोन में सत्तर साल पूरे होने के बाद, मैं तुम्हारी सुधि लूंगा और तुम्हारे लिए अपना अच्छा वादा पूरा करूंगा, और तुम्हें इस जगह वापस ले आऊंगा।

11 क्योंकि मैं तुम्हारे लिए जो प्लान बना रहा हूँ, उन्हें मैं जानता हूँ,” यहोवा कहता है, “वे तुम्हें नुकसान नहीं पहुँचाएँगे, बल्कि तुम्हारी तरक्की के लिए प्लान बनाएँगे, वे तुम्हें उम्मीद और अच्छा भविष्य देंगे।

12 तब तुम मुझे पुकारोगे, आकर मुझसे प्रार्थना करोगे, और मैं तुम्हारी सुनूंगा।

13 जब तुम पूरे दिल से मुझे ढूंढोगे, तो तुम मुझे पाओगे।

14 यहोवा कहता है, “मैं तुम्हें मिलूंगा, और तुम्हारी किस्मत ठीक करूंगा, और तुम्हें उन सभी देशों और जगहों से इकट्ठा करूंगा जहां से मैंने तुम्हें निकाल दिया था,” यहोवा कहता है, “और मैं तुम्हें उस जगह वापस ले आऊंगा जहां से मैंने तुम्हें देश निकाला देकर भेजा था।”

15 क्योंकि तुम कहते हो, 'प्रभु ने हमारे लिए बेबीलोन में नबी खड़े किए हैं।'

16 क्योंकि यहोवा दाऊद की गद्दी पर विराजमान राजा और इस नगर में रहने वाले तुम्हारे उन सब भाइयों के विषय में जो तुम्हारे साथ बंदी बनाने नहीं गए, यों कहता है,

17 सेनाओं का यहोवा कहता है: देखो, मैं उनके बीच तलवार, अकाल और महामारी भेजूंगा, और उन्हें सड़े हुए अंजीरों जैसा बना दूंगा, जिन्हें खाया नहीं जा सकता, क्योंकि वे इतने खराब हैं।

18 और मैं तलवार, अकाल और महामारी से उनका पीछा करूँगा; मैं उन्हें धरती के सभी राज्यों में इधर-उधर फेंके जाने के लिए छोड़ दूँगा, और उन सभी देशों में जहाँ मैंने उन्हें भगा दिया है, वे श्राप, हैरानी, फुफकार और बदनामी का कारण बनेंगे।

19 इसलिए उन्होंने मेरी बातें नहीं सुनीं, यहोवा की यह वाणी है, यद्यपि मैंने अपने सेवकों, भविष्यद्वक्ताओं को उनके पास भेजा, और सवेरे उठकर भेजा; परन्तु तुमने नहीं सुनी, यहोवा की यह वाणी है।

20 इसलिए, हे उन सब देशद्रोहियों, जिन्हें मैंने यरूशलेम से बेबीलोन भेजा है, यहोवा का वचन सुनो।

21 इस्राएल का परमेश्वर, सर्वशक्तिमान यहोवा, कोलायाह के बेटे अहाब और मासेयाह के बेटे सिदकियाह के बारे में यह कहता है, जो मेरे नाम से तुमसे झूठी भविष्यवाणी कर रहे हैं: मैं उन्हें बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर के हवाले कर दूँगा, और वह उन्हें तुम्हारी आँखों के सामने मार डालेगा।

22 और यहूदा के सब बंदी जो बाबुल में रहेंगे, उन्हें यह कहकर कोसेंगे, कि यहोवा तुम्हें सिदकिय्याह और अहाब के समान बनाए, जिन्हें बाबुल के राजा ने आग में भून डाला था;

23 क्योंकि उन्होंने इस्राएल में मूर्खता की है, और अपने पड़ोसियों की पत्नियों के साथ व्यभिचार किया है, और मेरे नाम से झूठी बातें कही हैं, जिनकी आज्ञा मैंने उन्हें नहीं दी थी ; और मैं यह जानता हूं और इसका गवाह हूं, यहोवा की यही वाणी है।

24 और तुम नेहेलाम के शमायाह से यह कहना:

25 सेनाओं का यहोवा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यह कहता है: क्योंकि तूने यरूशलेम में रहने वाले सभी लोगों को, और मासेयाह याजक के बेटे सपन्याह और सभी याजकों को अपने नाम से चिट्ठियाँ भेजी हैं, जिसमें यह कहा गया है:

26 यहोवा ने तुम्हें यहोयादा याजक की जगह याजक बनाया है, ताकि तुम यहोवा के घर के हर उस आदमी पर नज़र रखो जिसमें दुष्टात्माएँ हैं और जो भविष्यवाणी करता है, उसे जेल में डालो और काठ में ठोंको।

27 तो फिर, तुमने अनातोत के रहने वाले यिर्मयाह को, जो तुम्हारे लिए भविष्यवाणी करता है, क्यों नहीं डांटा?

28 इसी वजह से उसने हमें बेबीलोन भेजा: “कैद में रहना लंबा होगा; घर बनाओ और उनमें रहो; बगीचे लगाओ और उनके फल खाओ।”

29 तब सपन्याह याजक ने यह चिट्ठी यिर्मयाह नबी को पढ़कर सुनाई।

30 यहोवा का वचन यिर्मयाह के पास पहुँचा,

31 सभी देश निकाले हुए लोगों के पास यह संदेश भेजो, “नेहेलाम के शमायाह के बारे में यहोवा यह कहता है: क्योंकि शमायाह ने तुम्हारे लिए भविष्यवाणी की, हालाँकि मैंने उसे नहीं भेजा, और उसने तुम्हें झूठ पर भरोसा दिलाया है।

32 इसलिए यहोवा यह कहता है: देखो, मैं नेहेलाम के शमायाह और उसके वंश को सज़ा दूँगा; इन लोगों के बीच उसका कोई नहीं रहेगा, और वह वह भलाई नहीं देखेगा जो मैं अपने लोगों के साथ करूँगा, यहोवा कहता है, क्योंकि उसने यहोवा के खिलाफ़ बगावत की बातें कही हैं।

 

The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 29 Jeremiah's letter to the captives in Babylon

 

 The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 29

Jeremiah's letter to the captives in Babylon

 

1 These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent to Jerusalem, to the rest of the elders of the captivity, as well as to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.

2 (After King Jehoiachin, the queen, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters and smiths of Jerusalem had left),

3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah (whom Zedekiah king of Judah had sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying:

4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles I sent captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:

5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit.

6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may have sons and daughters; and multiply there, and do not decrease.

7 Seek the peace of the city to which I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its peace you will have peace.

8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who are among you deceive you, nor your diviners, nor listen to your dreams which you dream:

9 For they are prophesying falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord.

10 For thus says the Lord: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

14 “I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and places where I have driven you,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.”

15 For you say, 'The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon.'

16 For thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers, who did not go out with you into captivity;

17 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will send among them the sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like rotten figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

18 And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence; I will give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, and to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations whither I have driven them;

19 Therefore they did not listen to my words, declares the Lord, even though I sent my servants the prophets to them, rising early and sending them; but you did not listen, declares the Lord.

20 Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.

21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name: I will hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.

22 And all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will curse them, saying, “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

23 Because they have committed folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and have spoken falsely in my name, things which I did not command them to speak ; and I know it and am a witness to it, declares the Lord.

24 And you shall speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying:

25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and also to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying:

26 The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be in charge of the house of the Lord over every male demon-possessed man who prophesies, to put him in prison and in the stocks.

27 Now then, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite, who prophesies to you?

28 For this reason he sent us word to Babylon: “The captivity will be long; build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit.”

29 Then Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.

30 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

31 Send to all the exiles, saying, “This is what the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and he has made you trust in lies.

32 Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants; he shall have no one to dwell among this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, says the Lord, because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord.

 

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 29 A carta de Jeremias aos cativos de Babilônia

 

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 29

A carta de Jeremias aos cativos de Babilônia

 

1 E estas são as palavras da carta que Jeremias, o profeta enviou a Jerusalém, ao resto dos anciãos do cativeiro, como também aos sacerdotes, e aos profetas, e a todo o povo que Nabucodonosor havia transportado de Jerusalém para Babilônia.

2 (Depois que saíram o rei Jeconias, e a rainha, e os eunucos, e os príncipes de Judá e Jerusalém, e os carpinteiros e ferreiros de Jerusalém),

3 Pela mão de Elasa, filho de Safã, e de Gemarias, filho de Hilquias (os quais Zedequias, rei de Judá, tinha enviado a Babilônia, a Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia), dizendo:

4 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, a todos os que foram transportados, que eu fiz transportar de Jerusalém para Babilônia:

5 Edificai casas e habitai-as; e plantai jardins, e comei o seu fruto.

6 Tomai mulheres e gerai filhos e filhas, e tomai mulheres para vossos filhos, e dai vossas filhas a maridos, para que tenham filhos e filhas; e multiplicai-vos ali, e não vos diminuais.

7 E procurai a paz da cidade, para onde vos fiz transportar, e orai por ela ao Senhor; porque na sua paz vós tereis paz.

8 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Não vos enganem vossos profetas que estão no meio de vós, nem os vossos adivinhos, nem deis ouvidos aos vossos sonhos, que sonhais:

9 Porque eles vos profetizam falsamente em meu nome: não os enviei, diz o Senhor.

10 Porque assim diz o Senhor: Certamente que passados setenta anos em Babilônia, vos visitarei, e cumprirei sobre vós a minha boa palavra, tornando-vos a trazer a este lugar.

11 Porque eu bem sei os pensamentos que penso de vós, diz o Senhor; pensamentos de paz, e não de mal, para vos dar o fim que esperais.

12 Então me invocareis, e ireis, e orareis a mim, e eu vos ouvirei.

13 E buscar-me-eis, e me achareis quando me buscardes de todo o vosso coração.

14 E serei achado de vós, diz o Senhor, e farei voltar os vossos cativos, e congregar-vos-ei de todas as nações, e de todos os lugares para onde vos lancei, diz o Senhor, e tornarei a trazer-vos ao lugar de onde vos transportei.

15 Porque dizeis: O Senhor nos levantou profetas em Babilônia.

16 Porque assim diz o Senhor a respeito do rei que assenta no trono de Davi, e de todo o povo que habita nesta cidade, vossos irmãos, que não saíram convosco para o cativeiro;

17 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Eis que enviarei entre eles a espada, a fome e a peste, e fá-los-ei como a figos podres, que não se podem comer, de maus que são.

18 E persegui-los-ei com a espada, com a fome, e com a peste; dá-los-ei para andarem de um lado para outro, entre todos os reinos da terra, e para serem uma maldição, e um espanto, e um assobio, e um opróbrio entre todas as nações para onde os tiver lançado;

19 Portanto não deram ouvidos às minhas palavras, diz o Senhor, enviando-lhes eu os meus servos, os profetas, madrugando e enviando; mas vós não escutastes, diz o Senhor.

20 Vós pois ouvi a palavra do Senhor, todos os do cativeiro que enviei de Jerusalém para Babilônia.

21 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, acerca de Acabe, filho de Colaías, e de Zedequias, filho de Maaséias, que vos profetizam falsamente em meu nome: Eis que os entregarei na mão de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e ele os ferirá diante dos vossos olhos.

22 E tomarão deles uma maldição todos os transportados de Judá, que estão em Babilônia, dizendo: O Senhor te faça como Zedequias, e como Acabe, os quais o rei de Babilônia assou no fogo;

23 Porquanto fizeram loucura em Israel, e cometeram adultério com as mulheres de seus companheiros, e anunciaram falsamente em meu nome palavras que não lhes mandei dizer; e eu o sei e sou testemunha disso, diz o Senhor.

24 E a Semaías, o neelamita, falarás, dizendo:

25 Assim fala o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, dizendo: Porquanto tu enviaste no teu nome cartas a todo o povo que está em Jerusalém, como também a Sofonias, filho de Maaséias, o sacerdote, e a todos os sacerdotes, dizendo:

26 O Senhor te pôs por sacerdote em lugar de Joiada, o sacerdote, para que sejas encarregado da casa do Senhor sobre todo o homem obsesso, e que profetiza, para o lançares na prisão e no tronco.

27 Agora pois, por que não repreendeste a Jeremias, o anatotita, que vos profetiza?

28 Porque por isso nos mandou dizer para Babilônia: O cativeiro muito há de durar; edificai casas, e habitai-as; e plantai jardins, e comei o seu fruto.

29 E lera Sofonias, o sacerdote, esta carta aos ouvidos de Jeremias, o profeta.

30 E veio a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, dizendo:

31 Manda a todos os do cativeiro, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor acerca de Semaías, o neelamita: Porquanto Semaías vos profetizou, e eu não o enviei, e vos fez confiar em mentiras.

32 Portanto assim diz o Senhor: Eis que visitarei a Semaías, o neelamita, e a sua descendência: ele não terá ninguém que habite entre este povo, e não verá o bem que hei de fazer ao meu povo, diz o Senhor, porquanto falou em rebelião contra o Senhor.

 

पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 28 झूठे पैगंबर हनन्याह के साथ यिर्मयाह की लड़ाई

 पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 28

झूठे पैगंबर हनन्याह के साथ यिर्मयाह की लड़ाई

1 उसी साल, यहूदा के राजा सिदकिय्याह के राज की शुरुआत में, चौथे साल के पांचवें महीने में, गिबोन के पैगंबर अज्जूर के बेटे हनन्याह ने याजकों और सभी लोगों के सामने यहोवा के घर में मुझसे कहा:

2 सेनाओं का यहोवा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर, यह कहता है: मैंने बेबीलोन के राजा का जुआ तोड़ दिया है।

3 पूरे दो साल बाद मैं यहोवा के घर के सभी बर्तन इस जगह पर वापस लाऊंगा, जिन्हें बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर इस जगह से उठाकर बेबीलोन ले गया था।

4 मैं यहूदा के राजा यहोयाकीम के बेटे यकोन्याह को भी इस जगह पर वापस लाऊंगा, और यहूदा से निकाले गए सभी लोगों को जो बेबीलोन गए थे, यहोवा की यह वाणी है, क्योंकि मैं बेबीलोन के राजा का जुआ तोड़ दूंगा। 

5 तब यिर्मयाह नबी ने याजकों और उन सभी लोगों के सामने हनन्याह नबी से बात की जो यहोवा के भवन में खड़े थे। 

6 यिर्मयाह नबी ने कहा, “आमीन! प्रभु ऐसा ही करे। प्रभु तुम्हारी भविष्यवाणी पूरी करे और प्रभु के घर के बर्तनों और बेबीलोन से निकाले गए सभी लोगों को इस जगह वापस ले आए।

7 लेकिन अब यह संदेश सुनो जो मैं तुम्हें और सभी लोगों को दे रहा हूँ:

8 मुझसे और तुमसे पहले के नबियों ने बहुत पहले कई देशों और बड़े राज्यों के खिलाफ युद्ध, तबाही और महामारी की भविष्यवाणी की थी।

9 जो नबी शांति की भविष्यवाणी करता है, जब उस नबी की बात सच हो जाती है, तो उसे वही पहचानेगा जिसे प्रभु ने सच में भेजा है।

10 तब हनन्याह नबी ने यिर्मयाह नबी के गले से जुआ उतारकर तोड़ दिया।

11 और हनन्याह ने सभी लोगों के सामने कहा, “प्रभु यह कहता है: ‘इस तरह मैं पूरे दो साल बाद बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर का जुआ सभी देशों की गर्दन से तोड़ दूँगा।’” और यिर्मयाह नबी अपने रास्ते चला गया।

12 लेकिन नबी की बात जब हनन्याह नबी ने यिर्मयाह नबी की गर्दन से जुआ तोड़ दिया, तो प्रभु यिर्मयाह के पास आए और कहा,

13 “जाओ और हनन्याह से कहो, ‘प्रभु यह कहता है: “तुमने लकड़ी के जुए तो तोड़ दिए, लेकिन उनकी जगह तुम लोहे के जुए बनाओगे।”’”

14 क्योंकि सेनाओं का प्रभु, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यह कहता है: मैंने इन सभी राष्ट्रों की गर्दन पर लोहे का जुआ डाल दिया है, ताकि वे बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर की सेवा करें, और वे उसकी सेवा करेंगे; और मैंने उसे मैदान के जानवर भी दे दिए हैं।

15 तब यिर्मयाह नबी ने हनन्याह नबी से कहा, “अब सुनो, हनन्याह: प्रभु ने तुम्हें नहीं भेजा है, बल्कि तुमने इन लोगों को झूठ पर भरोसा दिलाया है।

16 इसलिए प्रभु यह कहता है: देखो, मैं तुम्हें धरती से निकाल दूँगा; इसी साल तुम मर जाओगे, क्योंकि तुमने प्रभु के खिलाफ बगावत की बातें कही हैं।”

17 और उसी साल के सातवें महीने में हनन्याह नबी की मौत हो गई।

Jeremiah's struggle with the false prophet Hananiah

1 In the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:

2 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 After two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and carried to Babylon.

4 I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.

6 Jeremiah the prophet said, “Amen! May the Lord do so. May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied and bring back to this place the vessels of the house of the Lord and all the exiles from Babylon.

7 But now listen to this message I am giving you and all the people:

8 The prophets who preceded me and you long ago prophesied war, disaster and pestilence against many lands and great kingdoms.

9 The prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then he shall be known by him whom the Lord has truly sent.

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Thus I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations after two full years.’” And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

12 But the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

13 “Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken wooden yokes, but in their place you shall make yokes of iron.”’”

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him; and I have even given him the beasts of the field.

15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah: The Lord has not sent you, but you have made this people trust in a lie.

16 Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth; this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against the Lord.”

17 And Hananiah the prophet died in the seventh month of that same year.

O livro do Profeta Jeremias 28

A luta de Jeremias com o falso profeta Hananias

 

1 E sucedeu no mesmo ano, no princípio do reinado de Zedequias, rei de Judá no ano quarto, no mês quinto, que Hananias, filho de Azur, o profeta de Gibeom, me falou na casa do Senhor, perante os olhos dos sacerdotes e de todo o povo, dizendo:

2 Assim fala o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, dizendo: Eu quebrei o jugo do rei de Babilônia.

3 Depois de passados dois anos completos, eu tornarei a trazer a este lugar todos os vasos da casa do Senhor, que deste lugar tomou Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, levando-os para Babilônia.

4 Também a Jeconias, filho de Joaquim, rei de Judá, e a todos os do cativeiro de Judá, que entraram em Babilônia, eu tornarei a trazer a este lugar, diz o Senhor: porque quebrarei o jugo do rei de Babilônia.

5 Então falou Jeremias, o profeta, a Hananias, o profeta, aos olhos dos sacerdotes, e aos olhos de todo o povo que estava na casa do Senhor.

6 Disse pois Jeremias, o profeta: Amém! Assim faça o Senhor: o Senhor confirme as tuas palavras, com que profetizaste, e torne ele a trazer os vasos da casa do Senhor, e todos os do cativeiro de Babilônia a este lugar.

7 Mas ouve agora esta palavra, que eu falo aos teus ouvidos e aos ouvidos de todo o povo:

8 Os profetas que houve antes de mim e antes de ti, desde a antiguidade, profetizaram contra muitas terras, e contra grandes reinos, guerra, e mal, e peste.

9 O profeta que profetizar paz, quando se cumpra a palavra deste profeta, será conhecido por aquele a quem o Senhor na verdade enviou.

10 Então Hananias, o profeta, tomou o jugo do pescoço do profeta Jeremias, e o quebrou.

11 E falou Hananias aos olhos de todo o povo, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Assim quebrarei o jugo de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, depois de passados dois anos completos, de sobre o pescoço de todas as nações. E Jeremias, o profeta, se foi seu caminho.

12 Mas veio a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias depois que Hananias, o profeta, quebrou o jugo de sobre o pescoço do profeta Jeremias, dizendo:

13 Vai, e fala a Hananias, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Jugos de madeira quebraste, mas em vez deles farás jugos de ferro.

14 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Jugo de ferro pus sobre o pescoço de todas estas nações, para servirem a Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e servi-lo-ão; e até os animais do campo lhe dei.

15 E disse Jeremias, o profeta, a Hananias, o profeta: Ouve agora, Hananias: Não te enviou o Senhor, mas tu fizeste que este povo confiasse em mentiras.

16 Pelo que assim diz o Senhor: Eis que te lançarei de sobre a face da terra; este ano morrerás, porque falaste em rebeldia contra o Senhor.

17 E morreu Hananias, o profeta, no mesmo ano, no sétimo mês.

 

 

पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 27 यिर्मयाह बेबीलोन के राजा के आगे झुकने की सलाह देते हैं

 पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 27

यिर्मयाह बेबीलोन के राजा के आगे झुकने की सलाह देते हैं

1 यहूदा के राजा योशियाह के बेटे यहोयाकीम के राज की शुरुआत में, यहोवा की तरफ से यिर्मयाह के पास यह बात आई:

2 यहोवा यों कहता है: कुछ जुए बनाओ और उन्हें अपनी गर्दन पर रखो।

3 और उन्हें एदोम के राजा, मोआब के राजा, अम्मोनियों के राजा, सोर के राजा और सीदोन के राजा के पास उन दूतों के हाथ भेजो जो यरूशलेम में यहूदा के राजा सिदकियाह के पास आते हैं।

4 और तुम उनके मालिकों को यह संदेश दोगे: सेनाओं का यहोवा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यों कहता है: तुम अपने मालिकों से यह कहोगे:

5 मैंने धरती, इंसान और धरती पर रहने वाले जानवरों को अपनी बड़ी ताकत और अपनी बढ़ी हुई भुजा से बनाया है, और मैं इसे जिसे चाहता हूँ उसे देता हूँ।

6 और अब मैंने ये सारी ज़मीनें अपने सेवक, बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर के हाथ में दे दी हैं; और मैंने उसे जंगली जानवर भी दिए हैं ताकि वे उसकी सेवा करें।

7 और सभी देश उसकी, उसके बेटे और उसके पोते की सेवा करेंगे, जब तक कि उसकी अपनी ज़मीन का समय न आ जाए, जब बहुत से देश और बड़े राजा उसकी सेवा करेंगे।

8 और ऐसा होगा कि अगर कोई देश या राज्य बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर की सेवा नहीं करेगा, और अपनी गर्दन बेबीलोन के राजा के जुए के नीचे नहीं डालेगा, तो मैं उस देश को तलवार, अकाल और महामारी से सज़ा दूँगा, यहोवा कहता है, जब तक कि मैं उसे उसके हाथों खत्म न कर दूँ।

9 और अपने नबियों, और अपने भविष्य बताने वालों, और अपने सपने देखने वालों, और अपने भविष्य बताने वालों, और अपने जादूगरों की बात मत सुनो, जो तुमसे कहते हैं, “तुम बेबीलोन के राजा की सेवा नहीं करोगे।”

10 क्योंकि वे तुमसे झूठी भविष्यवाणी करते हैं, ताकि तुम्हें तुम्हारी ज़मीन से दूर कर दें, और मैं तुम्हें वहाँ से निकाल दूँ, और तुम खत्म हो जाओ।

11 लेकिन जो देश बेबीलोन के राजा का जुआ अपनी गर्दन पर ले लेता है और उसकी सेवा करता है, मैं उसे अपनी ज़मीन पर रहने दूँगा, यहोवा की यही वाणी है, और वह उस पर खेती करेगा और उसमें रहेगा।

12 और मैंने यहूदा के राजा सिदकियाह से ये सब बातें कहीं, “अपनी गर्दन बेबीलोन के राजा का जुआ अपनी गर्दन पर ले लो, और उसकी और उसके लोगों की सेवा करो, और तुम जीवित रहोगे।

13 तुम और तुम्हारे लोग तलवार, अकाल और महामारी से क्यों मरें, जैसा कि यहोवा ने उन लोगों के बारे में कहा है जो बेबीलोन के राजा की सेवा नहीं करेंगे?”

14 और उन भविष्यवक्ताओं की बातें मत सुनो जो तुमसे कहते हैं, “तुम बेबीलोन के राजा की सेवा नहीं करोगे,” क्योंकि वे तुमसे झूठी भविष्यवाणी करते हैं।

15 क्योंकि मैंने उन्हें नहीं भेजा, यहोवा कहता है, फिर भी वे मेरे नाम से झूठी भविष्यवाणी करते हैं, ताकि मैं तुम्हें निकाल दूं और तुम और तुम्हारे लिए भविष्यवाणी करने वाले नबी दोनों खत्म हो जाएं।

16 मैंने पुजारियों और इन सब लोगों से यह भी कहा, “यहोवा यह कहता है: अपने नबियों की बातें मत सुनो जो तुमसे भविष्यवाणी करते हैं, ‘देखो, यहोवा के घर के बर्तन जल्द ही बेबीलोन से लौट आएंगे,’ क्योंकि वे तुमसे झूठी भविष्यवाणी करते हैं।

17 उनकी मत सुनो; बेबीलोन के राजा की सेवा करो, और तुम जीवित रहोगे। यह शहर वीरान क्यों हो जाए?

18 लेकिन अगर वे नबी हैं, और अगर यहोवा का वचन उनके पास है, तो वे अब सेनाओं के यहोवा से प्रार्थना करें, कि जो बर्तन यहोवा के घर में, और यहूदा के राजा के घर में, और यरूशलेम में बचे हैं, वे बेबीलोन न जाएं।”

19 सेनाओं का यहोवा उन खंभों, समुद्र, ठिकानों और शहर में बचे हुए बर्तनों के बारे में यह कहता है।

20 जिन्हें बेबीलोन के राजा नबूकदनेस्सर अपने साथ तब नहीं ले गया जब वह यहूदा के राजा यहोयाकीन के बेटे यकोन्याह और यरूशलेम के सभी अमीर लोगों को यरूशलेम से बेबीलोन ले गया था;

21 सेनाओं का यहोवा, इस्राएल का परमेश्वर, उन बर्तनों के बारे में यह कहता है जो यहोवा के भवन में, यहूदा के राजा के भवन में, और यरूशलेम में बचे हुए हैं:

22 उन्हें बेबीलोन ले जाया जाएगा, और जब तक मैं उन पर नज़र न रखूँ, तब तक वे वहीं रहेंगे, यहोवा कहता है; तब मैं उन्हें ऊपर ले आऊँगा, और इस जगह पर वापस लाऊँगा।

Jeremiah advises submission to the king of Babylon

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 Thus says the Lord: Make some yokes and put them on your neck.

3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

4 And you shall give them a message to their masters, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus you shall say to your masters:

5 I made the earth, man, and the animals that are on the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I give it to whomever I please.

6 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant; and I have even given him the beasts of the field to serve him.

7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes, when many nations and great kings shall serve him.

8 And it shall come to pass, that if any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will punish that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9 And do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your soothsayers, and to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.”

10 For they prophesy lies to you, to drive you far from your land, and that I may cast you out of it, and you may perish.

11 But the nation that puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will let it remain in its own land, declares the Lord, and it shall cultivate it and dwell in it.

12 And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you shall live.

13 Why should you and your people die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord has said concerning the people who will not serve the king of Babylon?”

14 And do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon,” for they prophesy lies to you.

15 For I did not send them, declares the Lord, yet they prophesy falsely in my name, so that I may cast you out and you may perish, both you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

16 I also spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall soon return from Babylon,’ for they prophesy lies to you.

17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and you shall live. Why should this city become a desolate place?

18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them pray now to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.”

19 For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and the sea, and the bases, and the remaining vessels that are left in the city.

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take with him when he carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon Jeconiah the son of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, and all the nobles of Jerusalem;

21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:

22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and shall remain there until the day that I visit them, says the Lord; then I will bring them up, and will bring them back to this place.

Jeremias aconselha submissão ao rei de Babilônia

 

1 No princípio do reinado de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, veio esta palavra a Jeremias da parte do Senhor, dizendo:

2 Assim me disse o Senhor: Faze umas prisões de jugos, e pô-los-as sobre o teu pescoço.

3 E envia-os ao rei de Edom, e ao rei de Moabe, e ao rei dos filhos de Amom, e ao rei de Tiro, e ao rei de Sidom, pela mão dos mensageiros que vêm a Jerusalém ter com Zedequias, rei de Judá.

4 E lhes darás uma mensagem para seus senhores, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Assim direis a vossos senhores:

5 Eu fiz a terra, o homem, e os animais que estão sobre a face da terra, pelo meu grande poder, e com o meu braço estendido, e a dou àquele que me agrada em meus olhos.

6 E agora eu entreguei todas estas terras na mão de Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo: e ainda até os animais do campo lhe dei, para que o sirvam.

7 E todas as nações o servirão a ele, e a seu filho, e ao filho de seu filho, até que também venha o tempo da sua própria terra, quando muitas nações e grandes reis se servirão dele.

8 E acontecerá que, se alguma nação e reino não servirem o mesmo Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, e não puserem o seu pescoço debaixo do jugo do rei de Babilônia, visitarei com espada, e com fome, e com peste essa nação, diz o Senhor, até que a consuma pela sua mão.

9 E não deis ouvidos aos vossos profetas, e aos vossos adivinhos, e aos vossos sonhos, e aos vossos agoureiros, e aos vossos encantadores, que vos falam, dizendo: Não servireis o rei de Babilônia.

10 Porque mentiras vos profetizam, para vos mandarem para longe da vossa terra, e para que eu vos lance dela, e vós pereçais.

11 Mas a nação que meter o seu pescoço sob o jugo do rei de Babilônia, e o servir; eu a deixarei na sua terra, diz o Senhor, e lavrá-la-á e habitará nela.

12 E falei com Zedequias, rei de Judá, conforme todas estas palavras, dizendo: Metei os vossos pescoços no jugo do rei de Babilônia, e servi-o, a ele e ao seu povo e vivereis.

13 Porque morrerias tu e o teu povo, à espada, e à fome, e de peste, como o Senhor disse da gente que não servir ao rei de Babilônia?

14 E não deis ouvidos às palavras dos profetas, que vos falam, dizendo: Não servireis ao rei de Babilônia: pois vos profetizam mentiras.

15 Porque não os enviei, diz o Senhor, e profetizam falsamente em meu nome, para que eu vos lance fora, e pereçais, vós e os profetas que vos profetizam.

16 Também falei aos sacerdotes, e a todo este povo, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Não deis ouvidos às palavras dos vossos profetas, que vos profetizam dizendo: Eis que os vasos da casa do Senhor cedo voltarão de Babilônia; pois eles vos profetizam mentiras.

17 Não lhes deis ouvidos, servi ao rei de Babilônia, e vivereis: Por que se tornaria esta cidade em deserto?

18 Porém, se são profetas, e se há palavras do Senhor com eles, orem agora ao Senhor dos Exércitos, para que os vasos que ficaram na casa do Senhor, e na casa do rei de Judá, e em Jerusalém, não vão para Babilônia.

19 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos acerca das colunas, e do mar, e das bases, e dos restantes vasos que ficaram na cidade.

20 Os quais Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, não levou, quando transportou de Jerusalém para Babilônia a Jeconias, filho de Joaquim, rei de Judá, como também a todos os nobres de Jerusalém;

21 Assim pois diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, acerca dos vasos que ficaram na casa do Senhor, e na casa do rei de Judá, e em Jerusalém:

22 A Babilônia serão levados, e ali ficarão até ao dia em que os visitar, diz o Senhor: então os farei subir, e os tornarei a trazer a este lugar.

पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 26 यिर्मयाह मंदिर और यरूशलेम के बर्बाद होने की भविष्यवाणी करता है: और उसे मौत का खतरा है

 पैगंबर यिर्मयाह की किताब 26

यिर्मयाह मंदिर और यरूशलेम के बर्बाद होने की भविष्यवाणी करता है: और उसे मौत का खतरा है

1 यहूदा के राजा योशियाह के बेटे यहोयाकीम के राज की शुरुआत में, प्रभु की तरफ से यह बात आई:

2 प्रभु यह कहता है: प्रभु के घर के आंगन में खड़े हो जाओ और यहूदा के सभी शहरों से, जो प्रभु के घर में पूजा करने आते हैं, वे सभी बातें कहो जो मैं तुम्हें उनसे कहने की आज्ञा देता हूँ; एक भी बात मत भूलना।

3 शायद वे सुनेंगे और हर कोई अपने बुरे रास्ते से मुड़ जाएगा, और मैं उस मुसीबत से पछताऊंगा जो मैं उनके बुरे कामों की वजह से उन पर लाने का इरादा रखता हूँ।

4 इसलिए उनसे कहो, प्रभु यह कहता है: अगर तुम मेरी बात नहीं सुनोगे, मेरे कानून पर नहीं चलोगे जो मैंने तुम्हें बताया है,

5 कि तुम मेरे सेवकों पैगंबरों की बातें सुनो, जिन्हें मैंने तुम्हारे पास भेजा था, सुबह उठकर भेजा था, लेकिन तुमने नहीं सुना; 

6 तब मैं इस घर को शिलोह जैसा बना दूँगा, और इस शहर को धरती के सभी देशों के लिए श्राप बना दूँगा।

7 और याजकों, नबियों और सभी लोगों ने यिर्मयाह को यहोवा के घर में ये बातें कहते हुए सुना।

8 और जब यिर्मयाह ने वह सब कह दिया जो यहोवा ने उसे सभी लोगों से कहने की आज्ञा दी थी, तो याजकों, नबियों और सभी लोगों ने उसे पकड़ लिया और कहा, “तुम्हें ज़रूर मार डाला जाएगा।

9 क्योंकि तुमने यहोवा के नाम से भविष्यवाणी की है, ‘यह घर शिलोह जैसा हो जाएगा, और यह शहर वीरान हो जाएगा, इसमें कोई नहीं रहेगा।’” और सभी लोग यहोवा के घर में यिर्मयाह के खिलाफ इकट्ठा हो गए।

10 जब यहूदा के हाकिमों ने ये बातें सुनीं, तो वे राजा के घर से यहोवा के घर गए और यहोवा के नए गेट के पास बैठ गए। 

11 तब पुजारियों और नबियों ने हाकिमों और सब लोगों से कहा, “यह आदमी मौत का दोषी है, क्योंकि इसने इस शहर के खिलाफ भविष्यवाणी की है, जैसा कि तुमने अपने कानों से सुना है।”

12 तब यिर्मयाह ने सब हाकिमों और सब लोगों से कहा, “प्रभु ने मुझे इस घर और इस शहर के खिलाफ वे सारी बातें भविष्यवाणी करने के लिए भेजा है जो तुमने सुनी हैं।

13 इसलिए अब, अपने तौर-तरीके और अपने काम सुधारो, और अपने परमेश्वर यहोवा की बात मानो, और प्रभु उस बुराई से पछताएगा जिसकी उसने तुम्हारे खिलाफ घोषणा की है।

14 और मैं, देखो, तुम्हारे हाथों में हूँ; मेरे साथ वही करो जो तुम्हें अच्छा और सही लगे।”

15 लेकिन यह पक्का जान लो कि अगर तुम मुझे मार डालोगे, तो तुम अपने ऊपर, इस शहर पर, और इसके रहने वालों पर बेगुनाहों का खून बहाओगे; क्योंकि सच में प्रभु ने मुझे तुम्हारे पास ये सारी बातें तुम्हारे सुनने के लिए भेजी हैं। 

16 तब हाकिमों और सब लोगों ने याजकों और नबियों से कहा, “यह आदमी मौत का दोषी नहीं है, क्योंकि इसने हमारे भगवान यहोवा के नाम से हमसे बात की है।”

17 तब देश के कुछ बुज़ुर्ग खड़े हुए और लोगों की पूरी जमात से कहा:

18 यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह के दिनों में मीका नाम के मोरासी ने भविष्यवाणी की थी, और यहूदा के सब लोगों से कहा था: “सेनाओं का भगवान यह कहता है: ‘सिय्योन खेत की तरह जोता जाएगा, यरूशलेम खंडहरों का ढेर बन जाएगा, और घर का पहाड़ जंगल की ऊँची जगहों जैसा हो जाएगा।’”

19 क्या यहूदा के राजा हिजकिय्याह और सब यहूदा ने उसे मार डाला? क्या वह भगवान से नहीं डरता था और भगवान से मेहरबानी नहीं माँगता था? तब भगवान ने उन पर जो मुसीबत आने की बात कही थी, उससे माफ़ी माँगी, और हम अपना बहुत बड़ा नुकसान कर रहे हैं।

 20 एक आदमी और था जो यहोवा के नाम से भविष्यवाणी करता था: किर्यत-यारीम का शमायाह का बेटा उरियाह। उसने यिर्मयाह की सारी बातों के मुताबिक इस शहर और इस देश के खिलाफ भविष्यवाणी की।

21 जब राजा यहोयाकीन और उसके सभी अधिकारियों और सभी राजकुमारों ने उसकी बातें सुनीं, तो राजा ने उसे मार डालने की कोशिश की। जब उरियाह ने यह सुना, तो वह डर गया और मिस्र भाग गया।

22 लेकिन राजा यहोयाकीन ने कुछ लोगों को मिस्र भेजा, अकबोर के बेटे एलनातान और उसके साथ दूसरे लोग भी थे।

23 इसलिए वे उरियाह को मिस्र से निकालकर राजा यहोयाकीन के पास ले आए, जिसने उसे तलवार से मार डाला और उसकी लाश को आम लोगों की कब्रों में फेंक दिया।

24 तब शापान के बेटे अहीकाम का हाथ यिर्मयाह के साथ था, ताकि उसे लोगों को मारने के लिए न सौंपा जाए।

The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 26 Jeremiah predicts the ruin of the temple and Jerusalem: and he is in danger of death

 The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 26

Jeremiah predicts the ruin of the temple and Jerusalem: and he is in danger of death

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying:

2 Thus says the Lord: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the Lord and speak to all the cities of Judah that come to worship in the house of the Lord all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not forget a single word.

3 Perhaps they will listen and turn, each from his evil way, and I will relent of the disaster that I intend to bring on them because of the wickedness of their deeds.

4 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,

5 That you should listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, rising early and sending them, but you did not listen;

6 Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people listened to Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

8 And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die.

9 For you have prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant.’” And all the people gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

10 When the princes of Judah heard these words, they went up from the king’s house to the house of the Lord and sat down at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord.

11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is guilty of death, because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.”

12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 Now therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God, and the Lord will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.

14 As for me, behold, I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes.”

15 But know for certain that if you kill me, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for truly the Lord has sent me to you, to speak all these words in your hearing.

16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man is not guilty of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”

17 Then some of the elders of the land stood up and spoke to all the congregation of the people, saying:

18 Micah the Morasite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house like the high places of a forest.’”

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor? Then the Lord relented from the disaster he had pronounced against them, and we are doing great harm to ourselves.

20 There was also a man who prophesied in the name of the Lord: Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 When King Jehoiachin and all his officials and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to kill him. When Uriah heard this, he was afraid and fled to Egypt.

22 But King Jehoiachin sent some men to Egypt, Elnathan son of Achbor and other men with him.

23 So they brought Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiachin, who struck him down with the sword and threw his body into the graves of the common people.

24 Then the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he would not be handed over to the people to be put to death.
