Jeremías 34
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1DAS Wort, das vom Herrn an Jeremia erging, als Nebukadnezar, der König von Babel, und sein ganzes Heer und alle Königreiche des Gebietes, das ihm untertan war, und alle Völker wider Jerusalem und wider alle dazugehörigen Städte stritten: (a) Jer 52:4; 2Kön 25:1
2So spricht der Herr, der Gott Israels: Gehe zu Zedekia, dem König von Juda, und sage zu ihm: So spricht der Herr: Siehe, ich werde diese Stadt in die Hand des Königs von Babel geben; der wird sie verbrennen. (a) Jer 21:10; 32:28
3Und du selber wirst seiner Hand nicht entrinnen, sondern gewiss ergriffen und in seine Hand gegeben werden; du wirst den König von Babel von Angesicht zu Angesicht sehen, und er wird von Mund zu Mund mit dir reden; alsdann wirst du nach Babel kommen.
4Vernimm jedoch das Wort des Herrn, Zedekia, König von Juda! So spricht der Herr über dich: Du wirst nicht durch das Schwert sterben;
5in Frieden wirst du sterben. Wie deinen Vätern, den frühern Königen, die vor dir gewesen sind, so wird man auch dir zu Ehren Totenfeuer anzünden und über dich klagen: "Ach, Herr!" Denn also habe ich es geredet, spricht der Herr. (a) 2Ch 16:14
6Alle diese Worte redete der Prophet Jeremia zu Zedekia, dem König von Juda, in Jerusalem,
7als das Heer des Königs von Babel wider Jerusalem stritt und wider alle Städte Judas, die noch übrig waren, nämlich Lachis und Aseka; denn diese waren allein noch vorhanden von den festen Städten Judas.
8DAS Wort, das vom Herrn an Jeremia erging, als der König Zedekia mit allem Volk in Jerusalem die Übereinkunft getroffen hatte, eine Freilassung auszurufen:
9dass ein jeder seinen Sklaven und seine Sklavin, sofern sie Hebräer seien, freilassen solle, sodass unter ihnen keiner mehr einen Judäer, seinen Bruder, als Sklaven halte.
10Und es gehorchten alle Obern und das ganze Volk, welche die Übereinkunft eingegangen waren, dass ein jeder seinen Sklaven und seine Sklavin freilassen und sie nicht mehr als Sklaven halten solle - sie gehorchten und liessen sie frei.
11Darnach aber wurden sie andern Sinnes: sie holten die Sklaven und Sklavinnen, die sie freigelassen hatten, zurück und zwangen sie, wieder Sklaven und Sklavinnen zu werden.
12Da erging das Wort des Herrn an Jeremia also:
13So spricht der Herr, der Gott Israels: Ich selbst habe mit euren Vätern einen Bund geschlossen, als ich sie aus dem Lande Ägypten, aus dem Sklavenhause, herausführte; da heisst es:
14"Nach Verlauf von sechs Jahren sollt ihr ein jeder seinen hebräischen Bruder, der sich dir verkauft, freilassen; sechs Jahre soll er dir dienen, dann sollst du ihn freilassen." Aber eure Väter haben mir nicht gehorcht, mir kein Gehör geschenkt. (a) 2Mo 21:2; 5Mo 15:12
15Nun habt ihr es heute anders gehalten und habt getan, was recht ist vor mir, indem ihr Freilassung füreinander ausrieft, und ihr habt vor mir eine Übereinkunft getroffen in dem Hause, das meinen Namen trägt.
16Dann aber seid ihr andern Sinnes geworden und habt meinen Namen entweiht: ihr habt ein jeder seinen Sklaven und seine Sklavin, die ihr nach ihrem Belieben frei hattet gehen lassen, zurückgeholt und sie gezwungen, wieder eure Sklaven und Sklavinnen zu werden.
17Darum spricht der Herr also: Ihr habt nicht auf mich gehört, dass ihr, ein jeder für seinen Bruder und ein jeder für seinen Nächsten, Freilassung ausgerufen hättet. So rufe ich denn nun Freilassung für euch aus, spricht der Herr, dass ihr dem Schwert, der Pest und dem Hunger verfallen sollt, und mache euch zum Entsetzen für alle Königreiche der Erde.
18Und die Männer, die meinen Bund übertreten und die Worte des Bundes nicht gehalten haben, den sie vor mir geschlossen hatten, indem sie das Kalb entzweischnitten und zwischen seinen Stücken hindurchgingen, (a) 1Mo 15:10 17
19die Fürsten Judas und die Fürsten Jerusalems, die Kämmerer und die Priester und das ganze Volk des Landes - wer immer zwischen den Stücken des Kalbes hindurchgegangen ist -,
20die gebe ich in die Hand ihrer Feinde, in die Hand derer, die ihnen nach dem Leben trachten; und ihre Leichen sollen den Vögeln des Himmels und den Tieren des Feldes zum Frasse dienen. (a) Jer 7:33
21Auch Zedekia, den König von Juda, und seine Fürsten gebe ich in die Hand ihrer Feinde, in die Hand derer, die ihnen nach dem Leben trachten, in die Gewalt des Heers des Königs von Babel, das jetzt von euch abgezogen ist. (a) Jer 37:5
22Siehe, ich gebiete, spricht der Herr, und bringe sie wieder vor diese Stadt, und sie werden wider sie streiten und sie einnehmen und verbrennen; und die Städte Judas mache ich zur unbewohnten Wüste. (a) Jer 37:8
Reina-Valera 1909
1PALABRA que fué á Jeremías de Jehová, (cuando Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y todo su ejército, y todos los reinos de la tierra del señorío de su mano, y todos los pueblos, peleaban contra Jerusalem, y contra todas sus ciudades,) diciendo:
2Así ha dicho Jehová Dios de Israel: Ve, y habla á Sedechîas rey de Judá, y dile: Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí entregaré yo esta ciudad en mano del rey de Babilonia, y la abrasaré con fuego:
3Y no escaparás tú de su mano, sino que de cierto serás preso, y en su mano serás entregado; y tus ojos verán los ojos del rey de Babilonia, y te hablará boca á boca, y en Babilonia entrarás.
4Con todo eso, oye palabra de Jehová, Sedechîas rey de Judá: Así ha dicho Jehová de ti: No morirás á cuchillo;
5En paz morirás, y conforme á las quemas de tus padres, los reyes primeros que fueron antes de ti, así quemarán por ti, y te endecharán, diciendo, ¡Ay, señor!; porque yo he hablado la palabra, dice Jehová.
6Y habló Jeremías profeta á Sedechîas rey de Judá todas estas palabras en Jerusalem.
7Y el ejército del rey de Babilonia peleaba contra Jerusalem, y contra todas las ciudades de Judá que habían quedado, contra Lachîs, y contra Azeca; porque de las ciudades fuertes de Judá éstas habían quedado.
8Palabra que fué á Jeremías de Jehová, después que Sedechîas hizo concierto con todo el pueblo en Jerusalem, para promulgarles libertad:
9Que cada uno dejase su siervo, y cada uno su sierva, hebreo y hebrea, libres; que ninguno usase de los Judíos su hermanos como de siervos.
10Y como oyeron todos los príncipes, y todo el pueblo que habían venido en el concierto de dejar cada uno su siervo y cada uno su sierva libres, que ninguno usase más de ellos como de siervos, obedecieron, y dejáronlos.
11Mas después se arrepintieron, é hicieron tornar los siervos y las siervas que habían dejado libres, y sujetáronlos por siervos y por siervas.
12Y fué palabra de Jehová á Jeremías, de parte de Jehová, diciendo:
13Así dice Jehová Dios de Israel: Yo hice pacto con vuestros padres el día que los saqué de tierra de Egipto, de casa de siervos, diciendo:
14Al cabo de siete años dejaréis cada uno á su hermano hebreo que te fuere vendido; te servirá pues seis años, y lo enviarás libre de ti: mas vuestros padres no me oyeron, ni inclinaron su oído.
15Y vosotros os habíais hoy convertido, y hecho lo recto delante de mis ojos, anunciando cada uno libertad á su prójimo; y habíais hecho concierto en mi presencia, en la casa sobre la cual es invocado mi nombre:
16Pero os habéis vuelto y profanado mi nombre, y habéis tornado á tomar cada uno su siervo y cada uno su sierva, que habíais dejado libres á su voluntad; y los habéis sujetado á seros siervos y siervas.
17Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Vosotros no me habéis oído en promulgar cada uno libertad á su hermano, y cada uno á su compañero: he aquí que yo os promulgo libertad, dice Jehová, á cuchillo y á pestilencia y á hambre; y os pondré en remoción á todos los reinos de la tierra.
18Y entregaré á los hombres que traspasaron mi pacto, que no han llevado á efecto las palabras del pacto que celebraron en mi presencia dividiendo en dos partes el becerro y pasando por medio de ellas:
19A los príncipes de Judá y á los príncipes de Jerusalem, á los eunucos y á los sacerdotes, y á todo el pueblo de la tierra, que pasaron entre las partes del becerro,
20Entregarélos en mano de sus enemigos y en mano de los que buscan su alma; y sus cuerpos muertos serán para comida de las aves del cielo, y de las bestias de la tierra.
21Y á Sedechîas rey de Judá, y á sus príncipes, entregaré en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma, y en mano del ejército del rey de Babilonia, que se fueron de vosotros.
22He aquí, mandaré yo, dice Jehová, y harélos volver á esta ciudad, y pelearán contra ella, y la tomarán, y la abrasarán á fuego; y reduciré á soledad las ciudades de Judá, hasta no quedar morador.
King James Version
1The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
5But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
10Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
11But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
14At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
19The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
22Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.

1The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:
2“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.
3You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’
4“Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword.
5You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.”
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
8The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
9that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.
10All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,
11but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13“The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
14At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.
15You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;
16but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”
17Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
18I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:
19the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.
20I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
21“I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.
22Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
