Jeremias 39
1 Sa ikasiyam na taon at ikasampung buwan ni Zedekias na hari ng Juda, dumating si Nebucadnezar na hari ng Babilonia kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang hukbo laban sa Jerusalem at sinakop ito.
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 Sa ikalabing isang taon at ika-apat na buwan ni Zedekias, sa ikasiyam na araw ng buwan, nawasak ang lungsod.
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 At dumating ang lahat ng opisyal ng hari ng Babilonia at umupo sa gitnang tarangkahan: Ang mga ito ay sina Nergal-salezer, Samgar-nebo, at Sarsequim, isang mahalagang opisyal. Isang mataas na opisyal si Nergal-salezer, at ang iba pa ay mga opisyal ng hari ng Babilonia.
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 Nangyari nang makita sila ni Zedekias, na hari ng Juda, at ng lahat ng kaniyang mga mandirigmang kalalakihan, tumakas sila. Lumabas sila sa gabi mula sa lungsod sa pamamagitan ng daanan sa hardin ng hari, sa tarangkahan sa pagitan ng dalawang mga pader. Umalis ang hari patungo sa Araba.
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 Ngunit hinabol sila ng hukbo ng mga Caldeo at naabutan si Zedekias sa mga kapatagan sa lambak ng Ilog Jordan malapit sa Jerico. Pagkatapos, binihag nila siya at dinala kay Nebucadnezar na hari ng Babilonia, sa Ribla sa lupain ng Hamat, kung saan binigyan siya ng hatol ni Nebucadnezar.
and Sedekias shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6 Pinatay ng hari ng Babilonia ang mga anak na lalaki ni Zedekias sa kaniyang harapan sa Ribla. Pinatay din niya ang lahat ng mga maharlikang tao ng Juda.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS, SAYING,
7 At tinanggal niya ang mga mata ni Zedekias at iginapos sa kadenang tanso upang dalhin siya sa Babilonia.
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 At sinunog ng mga Caldeo ang tahanan ng hari at ang mga tahanan ng mga tao. Ibinagsak din nila ang mga pader ng 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 Si Nebuzaradan, ang kapitan ng mga tagapagbantay ng hari ay dinalang bihag ang natirang mga tao sa lungsod. Kabilang dito ang mga taong tumakas upang kumampi sa mga Caldeo at ang mga taong naiwan sa lungsod.
And I bought the field of Anameel the son of my father's brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Ngunit pinayagan ni Nebuzaradan na kapitan ng mga tagapagbantay ng hari ang pinakamahihirap na mga taong walang wala para sa kanilang mga sarili upang manatili sa lupain ng Juda. Binigyan niya sila ng mga ubasan at mga bukid sa araw ding iyon.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11 Nagbigay si Nebucadnezar na hari ng Babilonia ng isang utos tungkol kay Jeremias kay Nebuzaradan na kapitan ng mga tagapagbantay ng hari. Sinabi niya,
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12 “Kunin at alagaan mo siya. Huwag mo siyang saktan. Gawin mo ang anumang sasabihin niya sa iyo.”
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 Kaya nagpadala ng mga kalalakihan si Nebuzaradan na kapitan ng mga tagapagbantay ng hari, si Nebuzazban ang mataas na eunuko, si Nergal Sarezer ang punong opisyal, at lahat ng pinakamahalagang opisyal ng hari ng Babilonia.
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus says the Lord Almighty;
14 Kinuha ng kanilang mga kalalakihan si Jeremias mula sa patyo ng mga bantay at ipinagkatiwala siya kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahikam na anak naman ni Safan, upang iuwi siya, kaya nanatili si Jeremias kasama ng mga tao.
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 Ngayon dumating ang salita ni Yahweh kay Jeremias habang siya ay nakakulong sa patyo ng mga bantay, at sinabi niya,
For thus says the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16 “Magsalita ka kay Ebed-Melec na taga-Cush, 'Sinasabi ito ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, ang Diyos ng Israel: Tingnan mo, gagawin ko na ang aking mga salita laban sa bayang ito para sa kapahamakan at hindi sa kabutihan. Sapagkat magkakatotoo ang lahat ng mga ito sa iyong harapan sa araw na iyon.
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Nerias, saying,
17 Ngunit ililigtas kita sa araw na iyon—ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh—at hindi ka na ibibigay sa mga kalalakihan na iyong kinatatakutan.
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 Sapagkat tiyak ililigtas kita. Hindi ka babagsak sa pamamagitan ng espada. Makakatakas ka dahil nagtitiwala ka sa akin—ito ang pahayag ni Yahweh.”'
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 amongst 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.
