Warning to Zedekiah
While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
(1) Так сказав Господь: Зроби кайдани і обручі для шиї й наклади на свою шию.
You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and given into his hands. You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.
(2) І пошлеш їх до царя Ідумеї і до царя Моава, і до царя синів Аммона, і до царя Тиру, і до царя Сидону руками їхніх посланців, що йдуть їм назустріч у Єрусалим до Седекії, царя Юди.
“ ‘Yet hear the Lord’s promise to you, Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the Lord says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
(3) І заповіси їм сказати своїм панам: Так сказав Господь, Бог Ізраїля: Так скажете вашим панам:
you will die peacefully. As people made a funeral fire in honor of your predecessors, the kings who ruled before you, so they will make a fire in your honor and lament, “Alas, master!” I myself make this promise, declares the Lord.’ ”
(4) Я зробив землю Моєю великою силою та Моєю високою рукою, і Я дам її, кому лишень миле буде в Моїх очах.
Then Jeremiah the prophet told all this to Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem,
(5) Я дав землю Навуходоносорові, цареві Вавилону, щоби йому служили, і дикі звірі працюють на нього.
while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah that were still holding out — Lachish and Azekah. These were the only fortified cities left in Judah.
Freedom for Slaves
The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves.
The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves.
(6) І народ, і царство, які лиш не підкладуть їхню шию під ярмо царя Вавилону, Я їх відвідаю мечем і голодом, — сказав Господь, — аж доки не зникнуть у його руці.
Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Hebrew in bondage.
(7) І ви не слухайте ваших фальшивих пророків і ваших чародіїв, і ваших сновид, і ваших чаклунів, і ваших ворожбитів, що говорять: Не працюватимете на царя Вавилону!
So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free.
(8) Адже вони пророкують вам обман, щоб видалити вас далеко з вашої землі.
But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
(9) А народ, який лиш підкладе свою шию під ярмо царя Вавилону і працюватиме на нього, Я залишу його на його землі, і працюватиме на ній, і житиме на ній.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
(10) І до Седекії, царя Юди, я промовив згідно з усіма цими словами, кажучи: Введіть вашу шию
“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I said,
(11) і працюйте на царя Вавилону, бо вони вам пророкують неправедне.
Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.
(12) Адже Господь говорить: Я їх не послав, тож неправедно пророкують Моїм Іменем, щоб вас вигубити, і будете винищені, ви і ваші пророки, які вам пророкують неправедно, брехливо.
But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
(13) Вам і всьому цьому народові та священикам я сказав, мовлячи: Так сказав Господь: Не слухайте слів пророків, що вам пророкують, кажучи: Ось посуд Господнього дому повернеться з Вавилону. Бо неправедне вони вам пророкують! 17 (14) Я їх не посилав.
“Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim ‘freedom’ for you, declares the Lord — ‘freedom’ to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Those who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces.
(15) Якщо вони є пророками і якщо Господнє слово є в них, хай зустрінуться зі мною.
The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf,
(16) Бо так сказав Господь: І решта посуду,
I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.
(17) який цар Вавилону не забрав, коли відселив Єхонію з Єрусалима,
“I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them, to the army of the king of Babylon, which has withdrawn from you.
