Jeremias 39

Studie

   

1 At nangyari nang masakop ang Jerusalem, (nang ikasiyam na taon ni Sedechias na hari sa Juda, sa ikasangpung buwan, dumating si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, at ang kaniyang buong hukbo laban sa Jerusalem, at kinubkob;

2 Nang ikalabing isang taon ni Sedechias, nang ikaapat na buwan, nang ikasiyam na araw ng buwan, isang sira ay nagawa sa bayan),

3 Na ang lahat ng mga prinsipe ng hari sa Babilonia, ay nagsipasok, at nagsiupo sa gitnang pintuang-bayan, si Nergal-sarezer, si Samgar-nebo, si Sarsechim, si Rabsaris, si Nergal-sarezer, si Rab-mag, sangpu ng nalabi sa mga prinsipe ng hari sa Babilonia.

4 At nangyari, na nang makita sila ni Sedechias na hari, sa Juda at ng lahat na lalaking mangdidigma, ay nagsitakas nga sila, at nagsilabas sa bayan nang kinagabihan, sa daan ng halamanan ng hari, sa pintuang-bayan sa pagitan ng dalawang kuta; at siya'y lumabas sa daan ng Araba.

5 Nguni't hinabol sila ng hukbo ng mga Caldeo, at inabot si Sedechias sa mga kapatagan ng Jerico: at nang kanilang mahuli siya, isinampa nila siya kay Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia sa Ribla, sa lupain ng Hamath, at kaniyang nilapatan siya ng kahatulan.

6 Nang magkagayo'y pinatay ng hari sa Babilonia ang mga anak ni Sedechias sa Ribla sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata; pinatay rin ng hari sa Babilonia ang lahat na mahal na tao sa Juda.

7 Bukod dito'y kaniyang binulag ang mga mata ni Sedechias, at inilagay siya sa pangawan, upang dalhin siya sa Babilonia.

8 At sinunog ng mga Caldeo ng apoy ang bahay ng hari, at ang mga bahay ng mga tao, at ibinagsak ang mga kuta ng Jerusalem.

9 Nang magkagayo'y dinalang bihag sa Babilonia ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay, ang nalabi sa mga tao na naiwan sa bayan, gayon din ang nagsilipat na nagsikampi sa kaniya, at ang nalabi sa bayan na naiwan.

10 Nguni't iniwan ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay ang mga dukha sa bayan, na walang tinatangkilik sa lupain ng Juda, at binigyan sila ng mga ubasan at ng mga bukid sa panahon ding yaon.

11 Si Nabucodonosor nga na hari sa Babilonia ay nagbilin kay Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay ng tungkol kay Jeremias, na sinasabi;

12 Kunin mo siya, at ingatan mo siyang mabuti, at huwag mo siyang saktan; kundi gawin mo sa kaniya ang kaniyang sasabihin sa iyo.

13 Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay, at si Nabusazban, si Rab-saris, at si Nergal-sareser, si Rab-mag, at lahat ng punong oficial ng hari sa Babilonia;

14 Sila'y nangagsugo, at kinuha si Jeremias sa looban ng bantay, at kanilang ipinagbilin siya kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na anak ni Saphan, na kaniyang iuwi siya. Sa gayo'y tumahan siya sa gitna ng bayan.

15 Ang salita nga ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Jeremias, samantalang siya'y nakukulong sa looban ng bantay, na nagsasabi,

16 Ikaw ay yumaon, at magsalita kay Ebed-melec na taga Etiopia, na magsabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Dios ng Israel, Narito, aking dadalhin ang aking salita sa bayang ito sa ikasasama, at hindi sa ikabubuti; at mangatutupad sa harap mo sa araw na yaon.

17 Nguni't ililigtas kita sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon; at hindi ka mabibigay sa kamay ng mga lalake na iyong kinatatakutan.

18 Sapagka't tunay na ililigtas kita, at ikaw ay hindi ibubuwal ng tabak, kundi ang iyong buhay ay magiging pinakasamsam sa iyo; sapagka't iyong inilagak ang iyong tiwala sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.

920. And cast it into the great wine-press of the anger of God, signifies the falsification of the Word as to all spiritual truth, and consequent damnation, because there is no spiritual good, which is charity. This is evident from the signification of "wine-press" as being the bringing forth of truth from good; for "clusters" and "grapes," which were put into the wine-press, signify spiritual good, and "wine" which is produced, signifies truth from that good (See above, n. 220, 376). As "the wine-press" signifies the bringing forth of truth from spiritual good, so in the contrary sense it signifies the bringing forth of falsity from evil. For in like manner as good brings forth truth, so evil opposite to good, brings forth falsity. "Wine-press" signifies here the falsification of the Word as to all spiritual truth, because it is called "the great wine-press of the anger of God," and "the anger of God" signifies man's contempt for truth and good and his rejection of it, and the full rejection of it is the falsification of the sense of the letter of the Word even to the destruction of spiritual truth, that is, of the Divine truth which is in heaven. That this falsification closes heaven may be seen n. 888. Moreover, those who are in evil (and all are in evil who are not in the good of charity) cannot do otherwise than bring forth falsities; for as good brings forth truths so evil brings forth falsities. "The great wine-press of the anger of God" signifies also damnation, because this is a consequence, and because the terms "anger of God" and "great wine-press" are used. That this is what a "wine-press" signifies will be confirmed from the Word in the next article.

[2] Here a few words shall be said about the bringing forth of truth from good, and also of falsity from evil, which is signified by "wine-press" in the spiritual sense. The origin and cause of such bringing forth is that all good is from love, and that which is loved gives delight; and as delight is grateful and pleasing, that which is of the love man thinks about with delight and also confirms. And since love with its delight constitutes the life of man, when man thinks from love and its delight he thinks from self and from his life. That this is so can be clearly seen from men after death, when they have become spirits; for then, when they think from self, they can think in no other way than from their love, since their whole life is their love. Since, therefore, good is from love and truth is from thought, it is clear how truth is brought forth from good.

[3] The same that has been said of good and truth can be said of the will and understanding; for as all good is from the love it is from the will, and as all truth from good is from the thought it is from the understanding; for the will loves, and the understanding thinks. The same that has been said of good and truth can be said of heat and light; for spiritual heat is the love that enkindles the will, and the spiritual light is the truth that enlightens the understanding. For all love, which is from the will, presents an effigy of itself in the light of the understanding, where it recognizes itself and wishes to see itself, because it loves itself; and this is why man thinks what he loves.

[4] The same that has been said of the bringing forth of truth from good can be said of the bringing forth of falsity from evil. For all evil is from the love, and therefore it loves falsity; and evil is from the will, and falsity is from the thought from evil. This has been said because "wine-press" signifies in the spiritual sense the bringing forth of truth from good, also the bringing forth of falsity from evil. "The great wine-press of the anger of God" signifies also the falsification of the word, because the falsification of the Word is the bringing forth of falsity from evil; for evil is what falsifies, since evil loves the idea of itself in the thought, and the thought, that it may persuade, wishes to find confirmation of the evil in the Word.
