34–BOB
Zidqiyo uchun xabar
1 Bobil shohi Navuxadnazar oʻz lashkari, qoʻli ostidagi barcha shohliklaru xalqlar bilan birga Quddusga va uning yon–atrofidagi shaharlarga qarshi jang qilayotgan edi. Shunda Egamiz Oʻz soʻzini Yeremiyoga ayon qildi: 2 “Qani boʻl, Yeremiyo, Yahudo shohi Zidqiyo huzuriga bor. Unga ayt: «Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz shunday demoqda: Men bu shaharni Bobil shohiga taslim qilaman, u shaharga oʻt qoʻyadi. 3 Sen ham Bobil shohining qoʻlidan qochib qutula olmaysan. Odamlar seni tutib oladilar. Bobil shohining qoʻliga topshiradilar. Sen oʻz koʻzing bilan Bobil shohini koʻrasan, u sen bilan yuzma–yuz gaplashadi. Keyin seni Bobilga joʻnatib yuboradi.
4 Biroq, ey Yahudo shohi Zidqiyo, Egamizning soʻzini eshit! Egamiz sen haqingda shunday demoqda: sen qilichdan halok boʻlmaysan. 5 Tinchgina olamdan koʻz yumasan. Odamlar ota–bobolaringni, sendan oldin oʻtgan shohlarni qanday dafn qilishgan boʻlsa, ularning sharafiga qanday gulxan yoqishgan boʻlsa , sening sharafingga ham shunday gulxan yoqishadi. Yigʻi–sigʻi qilib: ‘Voy, xojam!’ deya marsiya aytishadi. Egamizning kalomi shudir.»”
6 Yeremiyo paygʻambar bularning hammasini Quddusda Yahudo shohi Zidqiyoga aytdi. 7 Shu orada Bobil shohining lashkari Quddus, Laxish va Ozikah shaharlariga hujum qilayotgan edi. Yahudoning mustahkam shaharlaridan oʻshalargina yovga hanuzgacha taslim boʻlmagan edi.
Xalq ibroniy qullarni ozod qilish ahdiga rioya qilmaydi
8 Shoh Zidqiyo Quddusdagi butun aholi bilan ahd qilib, ibroniy qullarni ozodlikka chiqarishni eʼlon qilgandan keyin, Yeremiyoga Egamizning soʻzi ayon boʻldi.
9 Zidqiyo qilgan ahdga koʻra, hamma ibroniy qullarga va choʻrilarga ozodlik berilishi lozim edi. Yahudiy birodarlarni qullikda tutish man etilgan edi. 10 Aʼyonlar bilan butun xalq ahd shartlariga koʻndi. Ular oʻz qullari bilan choʻrilarini ozod qilishga, ularni bundan keyin qul qilib olmaslikka rozi boʻlgan edilar. Barcha quldorlar ahdga rioya qilgan holda, qullariga ozodlik berishdi. 11 Keyinchalik esa oʻz fikrlaridan qaytib, ozod qilgan qul va choʻrilarni majburlab, oʻzlariga yana qul qilib olishdi.
12 Shunda Egamizning soʻzi Yeremiyoga ayon boʻldi. 13 Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz shunday demoqda: “Men ota–bobolaringizni Misrdagi qullikdan olib chiqqanimda, ular bilan ahd qilib, shunday degan edim : 14 «Oʻzini sizga sotib, olti yil xizmat qilgan har bir ibroniy qulni ozod qilinglar.» Ammo ota–bobolaringiz aytganlarimga eʼtibor bermadilar, Menga quloq solmadilar. 15 Yaqinda esa sizlar tavba qilgan edingizlar. Mening huzurimda — Oʻzimning nomim bilan atalgan uyimda turib, birodarlaringizni ozod qilishga ahd qilgan edingiz. Mening nazarimda bu ishingiz toʻgʻri edi. 16 Keyin esa sizlar fikringizdan qaytdingizlar. Meni badnom qildingizlar. Oʻz xohishlariga koʻra, ozod qilingan qulu choʻrilaringizni qaytarib oldingizlar, ularni qul boʻlishga majbur qildingizlar.”
17 Egamiz shunday demoqda: “Sizlar Menga itoatsizlik qilib, yoru doʻstlaringizni, qoʻni–qoʻshnilaringizni qoʻyib yubormadingiz, shuning uchun Men sizlarni qoʻyib yuboraman. Mana, urush, qahatchiligu oʻlatga yoʻlingiz ochiq! Ahvolingizni dunyodagi barcha shohliklar koʻrib, dahshatga tushadi. 18 Ahdimni buzgan bu odamlarni Men jazolayman. Ular huzurimda ahd tuzgan edilar, buzoqni ikki qismga boʻlib, ikki boʻlagi orasidan oʻtgan edilar . Ammo ahd shartlariga rioya qilmadilar. Shuning uchun Men ularni boʻgʻizlangan buzoqning holiga tushiraman. 19 Buzoqning ikki boʻlagi orasidan oʻtgan Yahudo aʼyonlarini, Quddus maʼmurlarini, saroy amaldorlarini, ruhoniylarini va xalq ommasini jazolayman. 20 Ularda qasdi borlarga oʻzlarini topshiraman, dushman qoʻliga beraman. Jasadlari qushlarga va yovvoyi hayvonlarga yem boʻladi. 21 Yahudo shohi Zidqiyoni ham aʼyonlari bilan birga dushman qoʻliga beraman, ularda qasdi borlarga topshiraman. Vaqtinchalik chekingan Bobil shohining lashkariga ularni taslim qilaman. 22 Men buyruq berib, Bobilliklarni bu shaharga qaytarib olib kelaman. Ular sizlarga hujum qiladilar. Shaharni qoʻlga olib, oʻt qoʻyadilar. Yahudo shaharlari vayron boʻladi, u yerda hech kim yashamaydi.” Egamizning kalomi shudir.
1 The 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, 2 Thus 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: 3 And 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. 4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword: 5 But 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. 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 7 When 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.
8 ¶ This 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; 9 That 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. 10 Now 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. 11 But 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.
12 ¶ Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 13 Thus 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, 14 At 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. 15 And 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: 16 But 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. 17 Therefore 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. 18 And 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, 19 The 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; 20 I 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. 21 And 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. 22 Behold, 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.
