Jeremian 37
Raamattu 1933/38
37 Ja Sidkia, Joosian poika, tuli kuninkaaksi Konjan, Joojakimin pojan, sijaan; sillä Nebukadressar, Baabelin kuningas, asetti hänet kuninkaaksi Juudan maahan.
2 Mutta ei hän eivätkä hänen palvelijansa eikä maan kansa totelleet Herran sanoja, jotka hän puhui profeetta Jeremian kautta.
3 Ja kuningas Sidkia lähetti Juukalin, Selemjan pojan, ja pappi Sefanjan, Maasejan pojan, profeetta Jeremian tykö ja käski sanoa: "Rukoile meidän puolestamme Herraa, meidän Jumalaamme".
4 Silloin vielä Jeremia sai tulla ja mennä kansan keskellä, sillä häntä ei oltu pantu vankeuteen.
5 Mutta faraon sotajoukko oli lähtenyt liikkeelle Egyptistä; ja kun kaldealaiset, jotka piirittivät Jerusalemia, kuulivat siitä sanoman, lähtivät he pois Jerusalemin kimpusta.
6 Silloin tuli profeetta Jeremialle tämä Herran sana:
7 "Näin sanoo Herra, Israelin Jumala: Sanokaa näin Juudan kuninkaalle, joka on lähettänyt teidät minun tyköni kysymään minulta neuvoa: Katso, faraon sotajoukko, joka on lähtenyt teidän avuksenne, on palaava takaisin maahansa Egyptiin.
8 Sitten kaldealaiset tulevat takaisin ja sotivat tätä kaupunkia vastaan, valloittavat sen ja polttavat tulella.
9 Näin sanoo Herra: Älkää pettäkö itseänne sanoen: 'Kaldealaiset lähtevät pois meidän kimpustamme'. Sillä he eivät lähde.
10 Ja vaikka te voittaisitte koko kaldealaisten sotajoukon, joka sotii teitä vastaan, niin ettei heistä jäisi jäljelle kuin muutamia haavoitettuja miehiä, niin nämä nousisivat pystyyn, kukin teltassansa, ja tulella polttaisivat tämän kaupungin."
11 Mutta kun kaldealaisten sotajoukko faraon sotajoukon tähden oli lähtenyt pois Jerusalemia piirittämästä,
12 yritti Jeremia lähteä Jerusalemista mennäkseen Benjaminin maahan ottamaan perintömaan jaossa osansa siellä, kansan keskuudessa.
13 Mutta kun hän oli tullut Benjaminin portille, niin siinä oleva vartionpäällikkö, jonka nimi oli Jiiria, Selemjan, Hananjan pojan, poika, otti kiinni profeetta Jeremian sanoen: "Sinä aiot karata kaldealaisten puolelle".
14 Jeremia vastasi: "Se on valhe! Minä en aio karata kaldealaisten puolelle." Mutta Jiiria ei kuunnellut häntä, vaan otti Jeremian kiinni ja vei hänet päämiesten tykö.
15 Ja ruhtinaat vihastuivat Jeremiaan ja löivät häntä ja panivat hänet vankeuteen kirjuri Joonatanin taloon, sillä sen he olivat laittaneet vankilaksi.
16 Niin Jeremia joutui vankiluolaan ja holveihin, ja Jeremia jäi sinne kauaksi aikaa.
17 Sitten kuningas Sidkia lähetti hakemaan hänet, ja kuningas kysyi häneltä salaa linnassansa ja sanoi: "Onko sanaa Herralta?" Jeremia vastasi: "On". Ja hän sanoi: "Sinut annetaan Baabelin kuninkaan käsiin".
18 Ja Jeremia sanoi kuningas Sidkialle: "Mitä minä olen rikkonut sinua ja sinun palvelijoitasi vastaan ja tätä kansaa vastaan, koska te olette panneet minut vankeuteen?
19 Ja missä ovat teidän profeettanne, jotka ennustivat teille sanoen: 'Ei tule Baabelin kuningas teidän kimppuunne eikä tämän maan kimppuun'?
20 Ja kuule nyt, herrani, kuningas, salli minun rukoukseni langeta sinun eteesi äläkä lähetä minua takaisin kirjuri Joonatanin taloon, etten kuolisi siellä."
21 Silloin kuningas Sidkia käski säilyttää Jeremiaa vankilan pihassa, ja hänelle annettiin leipäkakku päivässä Leipurienkadulta, kunnes kaikki leipä oli kaupungista loppunut. Ja Jeremia jäi vankilan pihaan.

Jeremiah in Prison
37 Zedekiah(A) son of Josiah was made king(B) of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin[a](C) son of Jehoiakim. 2 Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention(D) to the words the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3 King Zedekiah, however, sent(E) Jehukal(F) son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah(G) son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: “Please pray(H) to the Lord our God for us.”
4 Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.(I) 5 Pharaoh’s army had marched out of Egypt,(J) and when the Babylonians[b] who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew(K) from Jerusalem.(L)
6 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: 7 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(M) of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched(N) out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.(O) 8 Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture(P) it and burn(Q) it down.’
9 “This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive(R) yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not! 10 Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian[c] army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn(S) this city down.”
11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn(T) from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army, 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property(U) among the people there. 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate,(V) the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are deserting to the Babylonians!”(W)
14 “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested(X) Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten(Y) and imprisoned(Z) in the house(AA) of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.
16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. 17 Then King Zedekiah sent(AB) for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked(AC) him privately,(AD) “Is there any word from the Lord?”
“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “you will be delivered(AE) into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What crime(AF) have I committed against you or your attendants or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets(AG) who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’? 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”(AH)
21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread(AI) in the city was gone.(AJ) So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.(AK)

Jeremiah 37
King James Version
37 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the Lord our God for us.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
5 Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
6 Then came the word of the Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah saying,
7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
9 Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
