Quddusning magʻlubiyati haqida bashorat
1 Shoh Zidqiyo Yeremiyo paygʻambarning oldiga Malkiyo oʻgʻli Peshxur va Masiyo oʻgʻli ruhoniy Zafaniyoni yubordi. Shunda Egamiz Oʻz soʻzini Yeremiyoga ayon qildi. Peshxur bilan Zafaniyo Yeremiyoga shunday dedilar: 2 “Oʻtinamiz, biz uchun Egamizga yolvor, chunki Bobil shohi Navuxadnazar bizga hujum qilyapti. Balki Egamiz avvalgidek moʻjizalar koʻrsatib, Navuxadnazarni orqaga chekintirar.”
3 Yeremiyo ularga shunday javob berdi: 4 “Borib, Zidqiyoga Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamizning shu soʻzlarini aytinglar: «Sizlar qoʻlingizga qurol olib, sizlarni qamal qilgan Bobil shohiga va Bobilliklarga qarshi jang qilyapsizlar. Ammo qoʻlingizdagi qurollaringizni Men Bobilliklarga emas, balki oʻzlaringizga qarshi ishlataman. Mana shu shahar — Quddus markazida qurollaringizni uyib tashlayman. 5 Men Oʻzim sizlarga qarshi chiqaman. Oʻz qudratu ajoyibotlarim bilan, qahru gʻazabim bilan sizlarga qarshi jang qilaman. 6 Bu shahar aholisini yoʻq qilaman. Odamlaru hayvonlar oʻlatdan nobud boʻladilar. 7 Shundan keyin Men Yahudo shohi Zidqiyoni, uning aʼyonlarini, shaharda urushdan, qahatchilikdan va oʻlatdan omon qolgan hamma odamlarni Bobil shohi Navuxadnazarning qoʻliga beraman, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz. — Ularda qasdi borlarga topshiraman, dushman qoʻliga beraman. Dushmanlar shahar aholisini shafqatsizlarcha qirib tashlaydilar. Bironta odamni ham ayamaydilar, ularga achinmaydilar, rahm qilmaydilar.»
8 Sizlar bu xalqqa borib aytinglar: «Egamiz demoqda: Men sizlarga ikki yoʻlni — hayot va oʻlim yoʻlini berdim. 9 Shaharda qolganlar qilich, qahatchilik va oʻlatdan nobud boʻladilar. Shahardan chiqib, Bobilliklarga taslim boʻlganlar esa tirik qoladilar. Bu odamlar hech boʻlmasa oʻz jonlarini saqlab qoladilar. 10 Men bu shaharga yaxshilik emas, kulfat keltirishga qaror qildim, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz. — Bu shaharni Bobil shohiga taslim qilib beraman. Navuxadnazar shaharga oʻt qoʻyadi.»
Yahudo shohining xonadoni jazolanadi
11 Yahudo shohining xonadoniga ham borib shunday aytinglar: «Egamizning soʻzini eshit, 12 ey Dovud sulolasi! Egamiz shunday demoqda:
Har kuni ertalabdan adolat qilinglar,
Jabrdiydalarni zoʻravonlar qoʻlidan qutqaringlar.
Aks holda, qilgan yovuzliklaringiz tufayli
Mening gʻazabim alanga oladi,
Bu gʻazabimni soʻndirishga hech kimning qurbi yetmaydi.
13 Ey vodiydagi qoya ustida qurilgan Quddus,
Men senga qarshiman!
— deb aytmoqda Egamiz. —
Sizlar aytasiz: ‘Kim ham bizga qarshi chiqa olardi?!
Kim ham qoʻrgʻonlarimizga kira olardi?!’
14 Men qilmishingizga yarasha jazoingizni beraman,
— deb aytmoqda Egamiz. —
Shohning saroyiga oʻt qoʻyaman,
Olov atrofdagi hamma narsani yondiradi.»”
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 2 Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 ¶ Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 4 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city. 5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. 6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence. 7 And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 ¶ And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death. 9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. 10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 ¶ And touching the house of the king of Judah, say , Hear ye the word of the LORD; 12 O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it , because of the evil of your doings. 13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
