Jeremías 44
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Das Wort erging an Jeremias über die Judäer alle, die sich im Land Ägypten, in Migdol, Tachpaneches, in Memphis und in dem Lande Patros niederließen:
2"So spricht der Heeresscharen Herr, Gott Israels: 'Ihr selber habt das ganze Unheil miterlebt, das ich Jerusalem und allen andern Städten Judas zugefügt. Sie sind jetzt eine menschenleere Wüste.
3Der bösen Taten wegen, die sie trieben, mir zum Verdrusse. Sie räucherten im Dienste unaufhörlich den andern vordem unbekannten Göttern, die euch und euren Vätern unbekannt gewesen.
4Wohl sandte ich zu euch all meine Diener, die Propheten; ich sandte sie vom frühen Morgen an und ließ sie sprechen: 'Treibt doch nicht solchen Greuel, den ich hasse!'
5Sie aber hörten nicht und neigten nicht ihr Ohr, daß sie von ihrem bösen Tun gelassen und den andern Göttern nicht geräuchert hätten.
6Und so ergoß sich meine Wut, mein Zorn und loderte in Judas Städten auf und in den Straßen von Jerusalem. Sie wurden eine wüste Öde, wie sie's noch heute sind."
7Und nun spricht so der Herr der Heerscharen, Gott Israels: "Was tut ihr selbst euch solch ein großes Unheil an und rottet so aus Juda Mann und Weib und Kind und Säugling aus, laßt keinen Rest für euch mehr übrig?
8Durch eurer Hände Werk verdrießt ihr mich, wenn andern Göttern im Ägypterland ihr räuchert. Ihr seid dahin zu Gast gezogen, um euch Vernichtung zuzuziehen. So werdet ihr zum Fluch und zum Gespött bei allen Erdenvölkern.
9Habt ihr vergessen schon die Übeltaten eurer Väter und die der Könige von Juda, die seiner Fürsten und eure eignen Übeltaten, die eurer Weiber auch, die sie im Judaland und in den Straßen von Jerusalem verübt?
10Sie sind bis heute nicht zerknirscht und haben keine Angst und wandeln nicht nach meiner Lehre, meinen Satzungen, die ich dereinstens euch und euren Vätern vorgeschrieben."
11Darum spricht so der Herr der Heerscharen, Gott Israels: "Ich bin zum Unheil gegen euch entschlossen, ganz Juda auszurotten.
12Und Judas Rest, der drauf besteht, sich zum Agypterlande zu begeben, um dort als Gast zu weilen, soll im Ägypterlande gänzlich aufgerieben werden. Vom Kleinsten bis zum Größten sterben sie durch Schwert und Hunger und werden so zum Fluch und zum Entsetzen, zum Spott und Hohn.
13Bestrafen will ich, die im Land Ägypten sich niederlassen, so wie ich Jerusalem bestraft, durch Schwert, durch Hunger und durch Pest.
14So gut wie keiner soll entrinnen und entkommen von Judas Rest, von denen, die gewillt sind, als Gäste im Ägypterland zu weilen, um später in das Judaland zurückzukehren, obwohl sie voller Sehnsucht sind, daselbst sich wieder anzusiedeln. Sie kehren nicht zurück; sie schwinden."
15Darauf erwiderten dem Jeremias die Männer all, die wußten, daß ihre Weiber andern Göttern räucherten, und alle Weiber, die in großen Haufen daneben standen, und alles andre Volk, das im Ägypterland in Patros wohnte:
16"Was du uns in des Herren Namen angekündigt, dem stimmen wir nicht bei.
17Wir tun vielmehr, was wir gelobt, der Himmelskönigin zu räuchern und Trankopfer ihr zu spenden, wie wir und unsere Väter, unsere Könige und Fürsten in Judas Städten einst getan und in den Straßen von Jerusalem. Denn damals hatten wir noch Brot genug und lebten froh, von keinem Ungemach beschwert.
18Seitdem wir aber unterließen, der Himmelskönigin zu räuchern und Trankopfer ihr auszugießen, mangelt's uns an allem, und wir wurden durch das Schwert und durch den Hunger aufgerieben.
19Wenn wir der Himmelskönigin jetzt räuchern und ihr Trankopfer spenden, bereiten wir ihr Kuchen als ihr Bild und gießen ihr Trankopfer aus wohl ohne Wissen unsrer Männer?"
20Da sprach zum ganzen Volke Jeremias, zu Männern, Weibern und dem ganzen andern Volk, das eine solche Antwort ihm gegeben:
21"Das Räucherwerk, das ihr verbrannt in Judas Städten und in den Straßen von Jerusalem, ihr selber, eure Väter, eure Könige und eure Fürsten und die Landbevölkerung, ist dies dem Herrn nicht in Erinnerung geblieben? Zu Herzen ging es ihm.
22Der Herr hielt's länger nicht mehr aus ob eurer Taten Schlechtigkeit, der Greuel wegen, die ihr triebet. Und euer Land ward wüste, öde und verflucht und menschenleer, wie's heut noch ist.
23Gerade, weil ihr räuchertet und euch damit am Herrn verfehltet, nicht auf des Herren Stimme hörtet und nicht nach seiner Lehre, seinen Satzungen und Überlieferungen lebtet, darum traf euch dies Ungemach."
24Alsdann sprach Jeremias zum gesamten Volk und allen Weibern:"Vernehmt das Wort des Herrn, ganz Juda, das im Land Ägypten weilt!
25So spricht der Herr der Heerscharen, Gott Israels: 'Was ihr und eure Weiber offen ausgesprochen, vollbringt ihr auch mit euren Händen, also sprechend: "Wir wollen unsere Gelöbnisse erfüllen, die wir gemacht, der Himmelskönigin zu räuchern und ihr Trankopfer darzubringen." Und sie erfüllen euere Gelöbnisse, vollziehn getreulich euere Gelübde.'
26Drum hör' das Wort des Herrn, ganz Juda, das du im Land Ägypten weilst! Fürwahr, bei meinem großen Namen schwöre ich', so spricht der Herr, 'mein Name soll nicht fernerhin im Munde irgendeines Judamannes sein, so daß er spräche: "Bei dem Herrn, dem Herrn!" in irgendeinem Teil Ägyptens.
27Ich wache über sie zum Unheil, nicht zum Heile, und aufgerieben werden sollen alle Männer Judas, die sich im Land Ägypten finden, durchs Schwert und durch den Hunger bis zur Vernichtung!
28Nur die dem Schwert Entronnenen, sie dürfen aus Ägypterland zum Lande Juda kehren, nur wenige an Zahl, damit der ganze Rest von Juda, der nach Ägypterland zum Aufenthalt gezogen, erkenne, wessen Worte sich erfüllen, die meinen oder ihre.
29Und dies soll euch zum Zeichen sein', ein Spruch des Herren, 'daß ich euretwegen diese Stätte strafe, damit ihr daraus seht, daß meine Worte auch an euch zum Unheil sich erfüllen können.'
30So spricht der Herr: 'Ich liefere Ägyptens König, Pharao Hophra, aus an seine Feinde, seine Widersacher, so wie ich Judas König Sedekias ausgeliefert dem Babelkönige Nebukadrezar, seinem Feind und Widersacher.'"
Reina-Valera 1909
1PALABRA que fué á Jeremías acerca de todos los Judíos que moraban en la tierra de Egipto, que moraban en Migdol, y en Taphnes, y en Noph, y en tierra de Pathros, diciendo:
2Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: Vosotros habéis visto todo el mal que traje sobre Jerusalem y sobre todas las ciudades de Judá: y he aquí que ellas están el día de hoy asoladas, ni hay en ellas morador;
3A causa de la maldad de ellos que cometieron para hacerme enojar, yendo á ofrecer sahumerios, honrando dioses ajenos que ellos no habían conocido, vosotros, ni vuestros padres.
4Y envié á vosotros á todos mis siervos los profetas, madrugando y enviándolos, diciendo: No hagáis ahora esta cosa abominable que yo aborrezco.
5Mas no oyeron ni inclinaron su oído para convertirse de su maldad, para no ofrecer sahumerios á dioses ajenos.
6Derramóse por tanto mi saña y mi furor, y encendióse en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalem, y tornáronse en soledad y en destrucción, como hoy.
7Ahora pues, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: ¿Por qué hacéis tan grande mal contra vuestras almas, para ser talados varón y mujer, niño y mamante, de en medio de Judá, sin que os quede residuo alguno;
8Haciéndome enojar con las obras de vuestras manos, ofreciendo sahumerios á dioses ajenos en la tierra de Egipto, adonde habéis entrado para morar, de suerte que os acabéis, y seáis por maldición y por oprobio á todas las gentes de la tierra?
9¿Os habéis olvidado de las maldades de vuestros padres, y de las maldades de los reyes de Judá, y de las maldades de sus mujeres, y de vuestras maldades, y de las maldades de vuestras mujeres, que hicieron en tierra de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalem?
10No se han morigerado hasta el día de hoy, ni han tenido temor, ni han caminado en mi ley, ni en mis estatutos que puse delante de vosotros y delante de vuestros padres.
11Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo pongo mi rostro en vosotros para mal, y para destruir á todo Judá.
12Y tomaré el resto de Judá que pusieron sus rostros para entrar en tierra de Egipto para morar allí, y en tierra de Egipto serán todos consumidos, caerán á cuchillo, serán consumidos de hambre, á cuchillo y hambre morirán desde el más pequeño hasta el mayor; y serán por juramento, y por espanto, y por maldición, y por oprobio.
13Pues visitaré á los que moran en tierra de Egipto, como visité á Jerusalem, con cuchillo, y con hambre, y con pestilencia.
14Y del resto de Judá que entraron en tierra de Egipto para morar allí, no habrá quien escape, ni quien quede vivo, para volver á la tierra de Judá, por la cual suspiran ellos por volver para habitar allí: porque no volverán sino los que escaparen.
15Entonces todos los que sabían que sus mujeres habían ofrecido sahumerios á dioses ajenos, y todas las mujeres que estaban presentes, una gran concurrencia, y todo el pueblo que habitaba en tierra de Egipto, en Pathros, respondieron á Jeremías, diciendo:
16La palabra que nos has hablado en nombre de Jehová, no oímos de ti:
17Antes pondremos ciertamente por obra toda palabra que ha salido de nuestra boca, para ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y derramándole libaciones, como hemos hecho nosotros y nuestros padres, nuestros reyes y nuestros príncipes, en las ciudades de Judá y en las plazas de Jerusalem, y fuimos hartos de pan, y estuvimos alegres, y no vimos mal alguno.
18Mas desde que cesamos de ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y de derramarle libaciones, nos falta todo, y á cuchillo y á hambre somos consumidos.
19Y cuando ofrecimos sahumerios á la reina del cielo, y le derramamos libaciones, ¿hicímosle nosotras tortas para tributarle culto, y le derramamos libaciones, sin nuestros maridos?
20Y habló Jeremías á todo el pueblo, á los hombres y á las mujeres, y á todo el vulgo que le había respondido esto, diciendo:
21¿No se ha acordado Jehová, y no ha venido á su memoria el sahumerio que ofrecisteis en las ciudades de Judá, y en las plazas de Jerusalem, vosotros y vuestros padres, vuestros reyes y vuestros príncipes, y el pueblo de la tierra?
22Y no pudo sufrir más Jehová á causa de la maldad de vuestras obras, á causa de las abominaciones que habíais hecho: por tanto vuestra tierra fué en asolamiento, y en espanto, y en maldición, hasta no quedar morador, como hoy.
23Porque ofrecisteis sahumerios, y pecasteis contra Jehová, y no obedecisteis á la voz de Jehová, ni anduvisteis en su ley, ni en sus estatutos, ni en sus testimonios: por tanto ha venido sobre vosotros este mal, como hoy.
24Y dijo Jeremías á todo el pueblo, y á todas las mujeres: Oid palabra de Jehová, todos los de Judá que estáis en tierra de Egipto:
25Así ha hablado Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, diciendo: Vosotros y vuestras mujeres proferisteis con vuestras bocas, y con vuestras manos lo ejecutasteis, diciendo: Cumpliremos efectivamente nuestros votos que hicimos, de ofrecer sahumerios á la reina del cielo y de derramarle libaciones: confirmáis á la verdad vuestros votos, y ponéis vuestros votos por obra.
26Por tanto, oid palabra de Jehová, todo Judá que habitáis en tierra de Egipto: He aquí he jurado por mi grande nombre, dice Jehová, que mi nombre no será más invocado en toda la tierra de Egipto por boca de ningún hombre Judío, diciendo: Vive el Señor Jehová.
27He aquí que yo velo sobre ellos para mal, y no para bien; y todos los hombres de Judá que están en tierra de Egipto, serán consumidos á cuchillo y de hambre, hasta que perezcan del todo.
28Y los que escaparen del cuchillo, volverán de tierra de Egipto á tierra de Judá, pocos hombres; sabrán pues todas las reliquias de Judá, que han entrado en Egipto á morar allí la palabra de quién ha de permanecer, si la mía, ó la suya.
29Y esto tendréis por señal, dice Jehová, de que en este lugar os visito, para que sepáis que de cierto permanecerán mis palabras para mal sobre vosotros.
30Así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que yo entrego á Faraón Hophra rey de Egipto en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan su alma, como entregué á Sedechîas rey de Judá en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, su enemigo, y que buscaba su alma.
King James Version
1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
3Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
4Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
5But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
6Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
7Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
8In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
11Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
12And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
14So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
15Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
17But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
19And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
20Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
21The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
22So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
23Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
24Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
25Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
27Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
28Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
29And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
30Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
World English Bible
1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
3because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
4However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”
5But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.
6Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’
7“Therefore now the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,
8in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’
11“Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.
13For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
14so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”
15Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you.
17But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”
19The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
21“The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t the LORD remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?
22Thus the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.
23Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”
24Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!
25The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’
26“Therefore hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says the LORD, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”
27Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
28Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.
29“‘This will be the sign to you,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’
30The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
