Nagbakal si Jeremias sang Uma

32 May ginhambal ang Ginoo kay Jeremias sang ika-10 nga tuig sang paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda, nga amo ang ika-18 nga tuig sang paghari ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia. Sadto nga tion, ginakibon sang mga soldado sang Babilonia ang Jerusalem, kag si Propeta Jeremias napriso sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya sa palasyo sang hari sang Juda. Ginpapriso siya ni Haring Zedekia tungod sa iya ginhambal. Kay nagsiling si Jeremias, “Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo: Itugyan ko ini nga siyudad sa hari sang Babilonia, kag maagaw niya ini. Indi makapalagyo si Haring Zedekia sa mga taga-Babilonia,[a] kundi itugyan gid siya sa hari sang Babilonia kag magaatubang sa iya agod sentensyahan. Dal-on si Zedekia sa Babilonia, kag magapabilin siya didto hasta nga matapos ang pagsilot ko sa iya. Bisan magpakig-away kamo sa mga taga-Babilonia indi gihapon kamo magdaog. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”

Nagsiling si Jeremias, “Ginhambalan ako sang Ginoo nga si Hanamel nga anak ni Shalum nga akon tiyo magakadto sa akon kag magasiling, ‘Bakla ang akon uma sa Anatot. Tungod nga ikaw ang pinakamalapit ko nga paryente, may kinamatarong ka kag katungdanan sa pagbakal sini.’

“Kag suno sa ginsiling sang Ginoo, nagkadto sa akon si Hanamel nga akon pakaisa didto sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya. Nagsiling siya, ‘Bakla ang akon uma sa Anatot sa kadutaan sang tribo ni Benjamin. May kinamatarong ka kag katungdanan sa pagpanag-iya sini, gani bakla ini.’

“Nahibaluan ko nga ang Ginoo gid ang nagsiling sadto, gani ginbakal ko ato nga uma kay Hanamel sa bili nga 17 ka bilog nga pilak. 10 Ginpirmahan ko kag ginselyuhan ang papeles sa pagbakal sa atubangan sang mga saksi. Ginkilo ko dayon ang pilak kag ginbayad kay Hanamel. 11 Dayon ginkuha ko ang papeles nga naselyuhan kag ang kopya sini nga wala naselyuhan, nga sa diin nasulat ang mga kasugtanan sang pagbakal. 12 Kag ginhatag ko ini kay Baruc nga anak ni Neria kag apo ni Masea, sa presensya ni Hanamel kag sang mga saksi nga nagpirma sang sini nga papeles, kag sa presensya sang tanan nga Judio nga nagapungko didto sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya.

13 “Kag sa atubangan nila ginsilingan ko si Baruc, 14 ‘Amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel: Kuhaa inang papeles nga naselyuhan kag ang wala naselyuhan, kag isulod ini sa bulobanga agod indi maano sa malawig nga panahon. 15 Kay magaabot ang tion nga magaangkon liwat sang mga pagkabutang ang mga tawo sa sini nga lugar. Magabinaklanay sila sang mga balay, mga uma, kag mga talamnan sang ubas. Ako, ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel, ang nagasiling sini.’ ”

16 Pagkatapos ko hatag sang papeles kay Baruc nga anak ni Neria, amo ini ang akon pangamuyo: 17 “O Ginoong Dios, gintuga mo ang kalangitan kag ang kalibutan paagi sa imo puwerte nga gahom. Wala gid sing butang nga indi mo mahimo. 18 Ginapakita mo ang imo gugma sa madamo nga mga henerasyon, pero ginasilutan mo man ang mga anak tungod sa sala sang ila mga ginikanan. Daw ano ikaw ka makagagahom nga Dios, nga ang ngalan Ginoo nga Makagagahom. 19 Maayo gid ang imo mga plano kag makatilingala ang imo mga binuhatan. Makita mo ang tanan nga ginahimo sang mga tawo, kag ginabalusan mo sila suno sa ila pagginawi kag mga binuhatan. 20 Naghimo ka sang mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang didto sa Egipto kag ginapadayon mo ini hasta subong diri sa Israel kag sa iban nga mga nasyon. Kag paagi sini nangin bantog ka sa gihapon. 21 Paagi sa mga milagro kag makatilingala nga mga butang, kag sa imo gahom nga nakapahadlok sa mga Egiptohanon, ginpaguwa mo ang imo katawhan nga mga Israelinhon sa Egipto. 22 Ginhatag mo sa ila ining maayo kag mapatubason nga duta[b] nga imo ginpromisa nga ihatag sa ila mga katigulangan. 23 Ginpanag-iyahan nila ini, pero wala sila magtuman sa imo ukon magsunod sa imo kasuguan. Wala sila maghimo sang imo ginpahimo sa ila. Gani ginpadal-an mo sila sang kalaglagan. 24 Kag karon nagatumpok ang mga taga-Babilonia sang duta sa kilid sang pader sang Jerusalem agod mataklas nila ini kag maagaw ang siyudad. Kag tungod sa inaway, gutom, kag balatian, maagaw sang mga taga-Babilonia ang siyudad suno gid sa imo ginsiling. 25 Pero sa pihak sini, O Ginoong Dios, ginsugo mo ako sa pagbakal sang uma sa atubangan sang mga saksi, bisan madali na lang maagaw sang mga taga-Babilonia ang ini nga siyudad.”

26 Dayon nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Jeremias, 27 “Ako ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang tanan nga katawhan. May butang bala nga indi ko mahimo? 28 Gani, itugyan ko ini nga siyudad sa mga taga-Babilonia kag sa ila hari nga si Nebucadnezar, kag maagaw nila ini. 29 Sunugon nila ini, pati ang mga balay nga ang mga atop sini ginasunugan sang mga insenso kay Baal kag ginahalaran sang halad nga ilimnon para sa iban nga mga dios, nga nakapaakig gid sa akon.

30 Ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling nga halin pa gid sang una, wala sing iban nga ginahimo ang katawhan sang Israel kag Juda kundi puro lang pagpakasala. Ginpaakig nila ako paagi sa ila mga ginpanghimo. 31 Halin sang pagtukod sang sini nga siyudad hasta subong, ginapaakig ako sang mga pumuluyo sini. Gani laglagon ko gid ini. 32 Ginapaakig ako sang katawhan sang Israel kag Juda tungod sa tanan nga malain nga ila ginahimo—tanan gid sila: ang ila mga hari kag mga opisyal, ang ila mga pari kag mga propeta, kag ang katawhan sang Juda kag Jerusalem. 33 Nagtalikod sila sa akon bisan sige-sige ang akon pagtudlo sa ila. Indi sila magpamati kag indi gusto tudluan. 34 Gindagtaan nila ang templo nga akon ginpili nga lugar para padunggan ako paagi sa pagbutang sang makangilil-ad nga mga dios-dios didto. 35 Nagpatindog sila sang mga simbahan para kay Baal didto sa Pulopatag sang Ben Hinom, kag didto man nila ginahalad ang ila mga anak kay Molec. Wala gid ako magsugo sini sa ila; wala gani ini magsulod sa akon hunahuna nga himuon nila ining makangilil-ad nga mga butang nga nangin kabangdanan sang pagpakasala sang katawhan sang Juda.

36 “Nagasiling kamo nga paagi sa inaway, gutom, kag balatian itugyan ini nga siyudad sa hari sang Babilonia. Pero karon nagasiling ako, ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, nga 37 pagatipunon ko ang akon katawhan halin sa tanan nga lugar nga sa diin ginpalapta ko sila tungod sa puwerte ko nga kaakig sa ila. Dal-on ko sila liwat sa sini nga lugar kag magakabuhi sila nga malinong. 38 Mangin katawhan ko sila kag mangin Dios nila ako. 39 Himuon ko nga mangin isa sila sa tinutuyo kag pagkabuhi, agod magtahod sila permi sa akon para sa ila kaugalingon nga kaayuhan kag sa kaayuhan man sang ila mga kaliwat. 40 Magahimo ako sa ila sang kasugtanan nga wala sing katapusan, nga indi ako mag-untat sa paghimo sang maayo sa ila. Hatagan ko sila sang handom sa pagtahod sa akon, agod indi sila magbiya sa akon. 41 Magakalipay ako sa paghimo sang maayo sa ila, kag paestaron ko sila sa sini nga duta nga hugot gid sa akon tagipusuon.”

42 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo, “Subong nga ginpadal-an ko sang puwerte nga kalaglagan ini nga katawhan, padal-an ko man sila sang mga kaayuhan nga akon ginpromisa sa ila. 43 Sa liwat magbinaklanay sang mga uma sa sini nga duta nga sa karon mamingaw kag wala sing may nagaestar, tawo man ukon sapat, kay gintugyan ini sa mga taga-Babilonia.

44 “Huo, magbinaklanay liwat sang mga uma. Pirmahan, selyuhan, kag saksihan ang mga papeles sang pagbakal sini. Pagahimuon ini sa kadutaan ni Benjamin, sa mga baryo sa palibot sang Jerusalem, sa mga banwa sang Juda, sa mga banwa nga ara sa kabukiran, sa mga banwa sa bulobukid sa nakatundan, kag sa mga banwa sa Negev. Matabo ini tungod nga pabalikon ko ang akon katawhan sa ila duta halin sa pagkabihag.[c] Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.”

Jeremiah Buys a Field

32 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth(A) year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth(B) year of Nebuchadnezzar. The army of the king of Babylon was then besieging(C) Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was confined(D) in the courtyard of the guard(E) in the royal palace of Judah.

Now Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him there, saying, “Why do you prophesy(F) as you do? You say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will capture(G) it. Zedekiah(H) king of Judah will not escape(I) the Babylonians[a](J) but will certainly be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him with his own eyes. He will take(K) Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will remain until I deal with him,(L) declares the Lord. If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not succeed.’”(M)

Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth,(N) because as nearest relative it is your right and duty(O) to buy it.’

“Then, just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said, ‘Buy my field(P) at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. Since it is your right to redeem it and possess it, buy it for yourself.’

“I knew that this was the word of the Lord; so I bought the field(Q) at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels[b] of silver.(R) 10 I signed and sealed the deed,(S) had it witnessed,(T) and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy— 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch(U) son of Neriah,(V) the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and of all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.

13 “In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: 14 ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed(W) and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’(X)

16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch(Y) son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:

17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord,(Z) you have made the heavens and the earth(AA) by your great power and outstretched arm.(AB) Nothing is too hard(AC) for you. 18 You show love(AD) to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps(AE) of their children(AF) after them. Great and mighty God,(AG) whose name is the Lord Almighty,(AH) 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.(AI) Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;(AJ) you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.(AK) 20 You performed signs and wonders(AL) in Egypt(AM) and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown(AN) that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand(AO) and an outstretched arm(AP) and with great terror.(AQ) 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(AR) 23 They came in and took possession(AS) of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law;(AT) they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster(AU) on them.

24 “See how the siege ramps(AV) are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague,(AW) the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said(AX) has happened,(AY) as you now see. 25 And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field(AZ) with silver and have the transaction witnessed.(BA)’”

26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.(BB) Is anything too hard for me?(BC) 28 Therefore this is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar(BD) king of Babylon, who will capture it.(BE) 29 The Babylonians who are attacking this city will come in and set it on fire; they will burn it down,(BF) along with the houses(BG) where the people aroused my anger by burning incense on the roofs to Baal and by pouring out drink offerings(BH) to other gods.(BI)

30 “The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth;(BJ) indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but arouse my anger(BK) with what their hands have made,(BL) declares the Lord. 31 From the day it was built until now, this city(BM) has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove(BN) it from my sight. 32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked(BO) me by all the evil(BP) they have done—they, their kings and officials,(BQ) their priests and prophets, the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs(BR) to me and not their faces; though I taught(BS) them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.(BT) 34 They set up their vile images(BU) in the house that bears my Name(BV) and defiled(BW) it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(BX) to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek,(BY) though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind(BZ)—that they should do such a detestable(CA) thing and so make Judah sin.(CB)

36 “You are saying about this city, ‘By the sword, famine and plague(CC) it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon’; but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 37 I will surely gather(CD) them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger(CE) and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.(CF) 38 They will be my people,(CG) and I will be their God. 39 I will give them singleness(CH) of heart and action, so that they will always fear(CI) me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant(CJ) with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire(CK) them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.(CL) 41 I will rejoice(CM) in doing them good(CN) and will assuredly plant(CO) them in this land with all my heart and soul.(CP)

42 “This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity(CQ) on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised(CR) them. 43 Once more fields will be bought(CS) in this land of which you say, ‘It is a desolate(CT) waste, without people or animals, for it has been given into the hands of the Babylonians.’ 44 Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds(CU) will be signed, sealed and witnessed(CV) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(CW) because I will restore(CX) their fortunes,[c] declares the Lord.”

32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying,

17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,

19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;

22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

28 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

36 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
