Yeremya 30

¹Ammonoğullarına: Rab şöyle diyor: “İsrail’in hiç mi oğlu yok, ya da onun bir mirasçısı kalmadı mı? Öyleyse neden Melchol Galaad’ı zorla ele geçirdi ve onun halkı Galaad’ın kentlerinde oturacak?”

²“Bu yüzden işte, günler geliyor,” diyor Rab, “ve Rabbath üzerine savaş çığlıkları işittireceğim; orası geçilmez bir virane ve yıkıntı haline gelecek, sunakları ateşle yakılıp kül edilecek ve İsrail kendi egemenliğini geri alacak.”

³“Feryat et ey Esebon, çünkü Gai mahvoldu! Haykırın ey Rabbath kızları, yas giysileri kuşanın ve dövünün! Çünkü Melchol, kâhinleri ve yöneticileriyle birlikte sürgüne yürüyecek.”

⁴“Neden Enakeim ovalarıyla övünüyorsun, ey küstahlığın kızı? Kendi hazinelerine güvenen ve ‘Üzerime kim saldırabilir?’ diyen sen!”

⁵“İşte, her yanındaki komşularından üzerine dehşet getiriyorum,” diyor Rab, “ve her biriniz kendi önündeki yöne doğru darmadağın edileceksiniz, kaçanları bir araya toplayacak kimse olmayacak.”

⁶Babil Kralı Nabuhodonosor’un bozguna uğrattığı saray avlusunun kraliçesi Kedar hakkında. Rab şöyle diyor: “Kalkın ve Kedar’a karşı yürüyün, Kedem oğullarını yağmalayıp doyuma ulaşın!”

⁷“Onların çadırlarını ve sürülerini alacaklar; giysilerini, bütün eşyalarını ve develerini kendilerine ganimet olarak alacaklar. Onlara karşı her yandan yıkım çağırın!”

⁸“Kaçın, alabildiğine uzaklaşın, yerleşmek için derinlere sığının, ey saray avlusunda oturanlar! Çünkü Babil Kralı size karşı bir plan tasarladı, size karşı bir düzen kurdu.”

⁹“Kalkın ve güvenlik içinde olan, huzurla dinlenen, kapıları, sürgüleri ve kilit demirleri olmayan, tek başına konaklayan bir ulusa karşı yürüyün.”

¹⁰“Develeri yağma edilecek ve çok sayıdaki hayvan sürüleri yok olacak. Şakaklarındaki saçları tıraş edilmiş olanları her rüzgara savuracağım ve her yandan üzerlerine yıkım getireceğim,” diyor Rab.

¹¹“Saray avlusu devekuşlarının barınağı ve sonsuza dek ayak basılmaz bir virane olacak; orada hiçbir insan asla oturmayacak ve hiçbir insanoğlu orada asla yaşamayacak.”

¹²Şam hakkında. “Hemat ve Arpad utandırıldı, çünkü kötü bir haber aldılar; akılları başlarından gitti, öfkelendiler, huzur bulmaya asla güçleri yetmiyor.”

¹³“Şam felç oldu, kaçmak için arkasını döndü, onu bir titreme yakaladı.”

¹⁴“Nasıl olur da benim kentimi terk etmedi? Onlar bir köyü sevdiler.”

¹⁵“Bu yüzden gençleri meydanlarında düşecek ve bütün savaşçı adamların o gün yok olacak,” diyor Rab.

¹⁶“Şam’ın surlarında bir ateş yakacağım; Ader oğlunun sokaklarını yiyip bitirecek.”

¹Τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Αμμὼν - ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος· μὴ υἱοὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ, ἢ παραληψόμενος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς; διατί παρέλαβε Μελχὸλ τὴν Γαλαάδ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἐνοικήσει;

²διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀκουτιῶ ἐπὶ Ῥαββὰθ θόρυβον πολέμων, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ βωμοὶ αὐτῆς ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσονται, καὶ παραλήψεται ᾿Ισραὴλ τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ.

³ἀλάλαξον ᾿Εσεβών, ὅτι ὤλετο Γαΐ· κεκράξατε θυγατέρες Ῥαββάθ, περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόψασθε, ὅτι Μελχὸλ βαδιεῖται ἐν ἀποικίᾳ, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.

⁴τί ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις ᾿Ενακείμ, θύγατερ ἰταμίας, ἡ πεποιθυῖα ἐπὶ θησαυροῖς αὐτῆς, ἡ λέγουσα· τίς εἰσελεύσεται ἐπ’ ἐμέ;

⁵ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω φόβον ἐπὶ σέ, εἶπε Κύριος, ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς περιοίκου σου, καὶ διασπαρήσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ συνάγων.

⁶Τῇ Κηδὰρ τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τῆς αὐλῆς, ἣν ἐπάταξε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος. - (Μασ. ΜΘ´, 28-33 ). Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ Κηδὰρ καὶ πλήσατε τοὺς υἱοὺς Κεδέμ·

⁷σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν λήψονται, ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν καὶ καμήλους αὐτῶν λήψονται ἑαυτοῖς· καὶ καλέσατε ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλειαν κυκλόθεν.

⁸φεύγετε λίαν, βαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν, καθήμενοι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, ὅτι ἐβουλεύσατο ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βουλὴν καὶ ἐλογίσατο ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς λογισμόν.

⁹ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἀνάβηθι ἐπ’ ἔθνος εὐσταθοῦν, καθήμενον εἰς ἀναψυχήν, οἷς οὐκ εἰσὶ θύραι, οὐ βάλανοι, οὐ μοχλοί, μόνοι καταλύουσι.

¹⁰καὶ ἔσονται κάμηλοι αὐτῶν εἰς προνομὴν καὶ πλῆθος κτηνῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀπώλειαν· καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς παντὶ πνεύματι κεκαρμένους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ἐκ παντὸς πέραν αὐτῶν οἴσω τὴν τροπὴν αὐτῶν, εἶπε Κύριος.

¹¹καὶ ἔσται ἡ αὐλὴ διατριβὴ στρουθῶν καὶ ἄβατος ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐ μὴ καθίσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσῃ ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

¹²Τῇ Δαμασκῷ. - (Μασ. ΜΘ´, 23–27 ). Κατῃσχύνθη ᾿Ημὰθ καὶ ᾿Αρφάδ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἀκοὴν πονηράν· ἐξέστησαν, ἐθυμώθησαν, ἀναπαύσασθαι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται.

¹³ἐξελύθη Δαμασκός, ἀπεστράφη εἰς φυγήν, τρόμος ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς.

¹⁴πῶς οὐχὶ ἐγκατέλιπε πόλιν ἐμήν; κώμην ἠγάπησαν·

¹⁵διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται νεανίσκοι ἐν πλατείαις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου πεσοῦνται, φησὶ Κύριος·

¹⁶καὶ καύσω πῦρ ἐν τείχει Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἄμφοδα υἱοῦ ῎Αδερ.

¹CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus saith the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed them? wherefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?

²Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.

³Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sack-clothes, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.

⁴Why do ye exult in the plains of the Enakim, thou haughty daughter, that trustest in thy treasures, that sayest, Who shall come in to me?

⁵Behold, I will bring terror upon thee, saith the Lord, from all the country round about thee; and ye shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.

⁶CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE [Mas. 49, 28-33], thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.

⁷They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon ye destruction against them from every side.

⁸Flee ye, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, ye that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.

⁹Rise up, and go up against a nation settled and dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, who dwell alone.

¹⁰And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, saith the Lord.

¹¹And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.

¹²CONCERNING DAMASCUS [Mas. 49, 23-27]. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.

¹³Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.

¹⁴How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?

¹⁵Therefore shall the young men fall in thy streets, and all thy warriors shall fall, saith the Lord.

¹⁶And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.
