Jeremia 39
1 Und es geschah, daß Jerusalem gewonnen ward. Denn im neunten Jahr Zedekias, des Königs Judas, im zehnten Monden kam Nebukadnezar, der König zu Babel, und all sein Heer vor Jerusalem und belagerten dieselbige.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias in the tenth year of king Sedekias, this is the eighteenth year of king Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon.
2 Und im elften Jahr Zedekias, am neunten Tag des vierten Monden, brach man in die Stadt.
And the host of the king of Babylon had made a rampart against Jerusalem: and Jeremias was kept in the court of the prison, which is in the king's house;
3 Und zogen hinein alle Fürsten des Königs zu Babel und hielten unter dem Mitteltor, nämlich Nergal-Sarezer, Sangar-Nebo, Sarsechim, der oberste Kämmerer, Nergal-Sarezer, der Hofmeister, und alle andern Fürsten des Königs zu Babel.
in which king Sedekias [had] shut him up, saying, Therefore do you prophesy, saying, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 Als sie nun Zedekia, der König Judas, sah samt seinen Kriegsleuten, flohen sie bei Nacht zur Stadt hinaus bei des Königs Garten durchs Tor zwischen zweien Mauern und zogen durchs Feld hindurch.
and Sedekias shall by no means be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, for he shall certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall look upon his eyes;
5 Aber der Chaldäer Heer jagten ihnen nach und ergriffen Zedekia im Felde bei Jericho und fingen ihn und brachten ihn zu Nebukadnezar, dem Könige zu Babel, gen Riblath, die im Lande Hemath liegt; der sprach ein Urteil über ihn.
and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6 Und der König zu Babel ließ die Kinder Zedekias vor seinen Augen töten zu Riblath und tötete alle Fürsten Judas.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING,
7 Aber Zedekia ließ er die Augen ausstechen und ihn mit Ketten binden, daß er ihn gen Babel führete.
Behold, Anameel the son of Salom your father's brother is coming to you, saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for you [have] the right to take [it] as a purchase.
8 Und die Chaldäer verbrannten beide, des Königs Haus und der Bürger Häuser, und zerbrachen die Mauern zu Jerusalem.
So Anameel the son of Salom my father's brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy you my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for you [have] a right to buy it, and you are the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord.
9 Was aber noch von Volk in der Stadt war und was sonst zu ihnen gefallen war, die führete Nebusar-Adan, der Hofmeister, alle miteinander gen Babel gefangen.
And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Aber von dem geringen Volk, das nichts hatte, ließ zur selbigen Zeit Nebusar-Adan, der Hauptmann, etliche im Land Juda und gab ihnen Weinberge und Dörflein ein.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11 Aber Nebukadnezar, der König zu Babel, hatte Nebusar-Adan, dem Hauptmanne, befohlen von Jeremia und gesagt:
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12 Nimm hin und laß dir ihn befohlen sein und tue ihm kein Leid, sondern wie er's von dir begehret, so mache es mit ihm.
and I gave it to Baruch son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, in the sight of Anameel my father's brother's son, and in the sight of the men that stood by and wrote in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of the Jews that were in the court of the prison.
13 Da sandte hin Nebusar-Adan, der Hauptmann, und Nebu-Sasban, der oberste Kämmerer, Nergal-Sarezer, der Hofmeister, und alle Fürsten des Königs zu Babel
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus says the Lord Almighty;
14 und ließen Jeremia holen aus dem Vorhofe des Gefängnisses und befahlen ihn Gedalja, dem Sohn Ahikams, des Sohns Saphans, daß er ihn hinaus in sein Haus führete und bei dem Volk bliebe.
Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and you shall put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days.
15 Es war auch des HERRN Wort geschehen zu Jeremia, weil er noch im Vorhofe des Gefängnisses gefangen lag, und gesprochen:
For thus says the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16 Gehe hin und sage Ebed-Melech, dem Mohren: So spricht der HERR Zebaoth, der Gott Israels: Siehe, ich will meine Worte kommen lassen über diese Stadt zum Unglück und zu keinem Guten, und du sollst es sehen zur selbigen Zeit.
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying,
17 Aber dich will ich erretten zur selbigen Zeit, spricht der HERR, und sollst den Leuten nicht zuteil werden, vor welchen du dich fürchtest.
O [ever] living Lord! you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power, and with your high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from you.
18 Denn ich will dir davon helfen, daß du nicht durchs Schwert fallest, sondern sollst dein Leben wie eine Beute davonbringen, darum daß du mir vertrauet hast, spricht der HERR.
Granting mercy to thousands, and recompensing the sins of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them: the great, the strong God;
the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in deeds, the great Almighty God, and Lord of great name: your eyes are upon the ways of the children of men, to give to every one according to his way:
who have wrought signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and you did make for yourself a name, as at this day;
and you did bring out your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights;
and you gave them this land, which you did swear [to give] to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
and they went in, and took it; but they listened not to your voice, and walked not in your ordinances; they did none of the things which you did command them, and they caused all these calamities to happen to them.
Behold, a multitude is come against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans that fight against it, by the power of the sword, and the famine: as you have spoken, so has it happened.
And you say to me, Buy you the field for money; and I wrote a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall anything be hidden from me!
Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
and the Chaldeans shall come to war against this city, and they shall burn this city with fire, and shall burn down the houses wherein they burnt incense on the roofs thereof to Baal, and poured drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me.
For the children of Israel and the children of Juda alone did evil in my sight from their youth.
For this city was [obnoxious] to my anger and my wrath, from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from my presence,
because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and Juda, which they wrought to provoke me, they and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem.
And they turned the back to me, and not the face: whereas I taught them early in the morning, but they listened no more to receive instructions.
And they set their pollutions in the house, on which my name was called, by their uncleannesses.
And they built to Baal the altars that are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to offer their sons and their daughters to king Moloch; which things I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Juda to sin.
And now thus has the Lord God of Israel said concerning this city, of which you say, it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and banishment.
Behold, I [will] gather them out of every land, where I have scattered them in my anger, and my wrath, and great fury; and I will bring them back into this place, and will cause them to dwell safely:
and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a god.
And I will give them another way, and another heart, to fear me continually, and [that] for good to them and their children after them.
And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put my fear into their heart, that they may not depart from me.
And I will visit [them] to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, and with all my heart, and with all [my] soul.
For thus says the Lord; As I have brought upon this people all these great evils, so will I bring upon them all the good things which I pronounced upon them.
And there shall yet be fields bought in the land, of which you say, it shall be destitute of man and beast; and they are delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And they shall buy fields for money, and you shall write a book, and seal [it], and shall take the testimony of witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity.
