Jeremias 18

Studija

   

1 Ang salita na dumating kay Jeremias mula sa Panginoon, na nagsasabi,

2 Ikaw ay bumangon, at bumaba sa bahay ng magpapalyok, at aking iparirinig sa iyo ang aking mga salita roon.

3 Nang magkagayo'y bumaba ako sa bahay ng magpapalyok, at, narito, siya'y gumagawa ng kaniyang gawa sa pamamagitan ng mga gulong.

4 At nang mabasag sa kamay ng magpapalyok ang sisidlang putik na kaniyang ginagawa, ay gumawa siya uli ng ibang sisidlan, na minagaling na gawin ng magpapalyok.

5 Nang magkagayo'y dumating sa akin ang salita ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi,

6 Oh sangbahayan ni Israel, hindi baga ako makagagawa sa inyo na gaya ng paggawa ng magpapalyok na ito? sabi ng Panginoon. Narito, kung paano ang putik sa kamay ng magpapalyok, gayon kayo sa kamay ko, Oh sangbahayan ni Israel.

7 Sa anomang sandali ay magsasalita ako ng tungkol sa isang bansa, at tungkol sa isang kaharian, upang bunutin at upang ibagsak at upang lipulin;

8 Kung ang bansang yaon, na aking pinagsalitaan, ay humiwalay sa kanilang kasamaan, ako'y magsisisi sa kasamaan na aking inisip gawin sa kanila.

9 At sa anomang sangdali ay magsasalita ako ng tungkol sa isang bansa, at tungkol sa isang kaharian, upang itayo at upang itatag;

10 Kung gumawa ng kasamaan sa aking paningin, na hindi sundin ang aking tinig, ay pagsisisihan ko nga ang kabutihan, na aking ipinagsabing pakikinabangan nila.

11 Ngayon nga, salitain mo sa mga tao sa Juda, at sa mga nananahan sa Jerusalem, na iyong sabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y humahaka ng kasamaan laban sa inyo, at kumatha ng katha-katha laban sa inyo: manumbalik bawa't isa sa inyo mula sa kanikaniyang masamang lakad, at inyong pabutihin ang inyong mga lakad at ang inyong mga gawa.

12 Nguni't kanilang sinabi, Walang pagasa; sapagka't kami ay magsisisunod sa aming sariling mga katha-katha, at magsisigawa bawa't isa sa amin ng ayon sa katigasan ng kanikaniyang masamang puso.

13 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Inyong itanong nga sa mga bansa, kung sinong nakarinig ng ganiyang mga bagay? ang dalaga ng Israel ay gumawa ng totoong kakilakilabot na bagay.

14 Magkukulang baga ng niebe sa Lebano sa bato sa parang? ang malamig na tubig na umaagos mula sa malayo ay matutuyo baga?

15 Sapagka't kinalimutan ako ng aking bayan, sila'y nangagsunog ng kamangyan sa mga diosdiosan; at sila'y nangatisod sa kanilang mga lakad, sa mga dating landas, at pinalalakad sa mga lana, sa daan na hindi patag;

16 Upang gawin ang kanilang lupain na isang katigilan, at walang hanggang kasutsutan; lahat na nangagdadaan doon ay mangatitigilan, at mangaggagalaw ng ulo.

17 Aking pangangalatin sila na parang hanging silanganan sa harap ng kaaway; tatalikuran ko sila, at hindi ko haharapin, sa kaarawan ng kanilang kasakunaan,

18 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi nila, Kayo'y magsiparito, at tayo'y magsikatha ng mga katha-katha laban kay Jeremias; sapagka't ang kautusan ay hindi mawawala sa saserdote, o ang payo man sa pantas, o ang salita man sa propeta. Kayo'y magsiparito, at ating saktan siya ng dila, at huwag nating pansinin ang kaniyang mga salita.

19 Pakinggan mo ako, Oh Panginoon, at ulinigin mo ang tinig nila na nakikipagtalo sa akin.

20 Igaganti baga'y kasamaan sa kabutihan? sapagka't sila'y nagsihukay ng hukay para sa akin. Iyong alalahanin kung paanong ako'y tumayo sa harap mo, upang magsalita ng mabuti para sa kanila, upang ihiwalay ang iyong kapusukan sa kanila.

21 Kaya't ibigay mo ang kanilang mga anak sa kagutom, at ibigay mo sila sa kapangyarihan ng tabak; at ang kanilang mga asawa ay mawalan ng anak, at mga bao; at ang kanilang mga lalake ay mangapatay sa patayan, at ang kanilang mga binata ay masugatan ng tabak sa pagbabaka.

22 Makarinig nawa ng daing mula sa kanilang mga bahay, pagka ikaw ay biglang magdadala ng hukbo sa kanila; sapagka't sila'y nagsihukay ng hukay upang hulihin ako, at ipinagkubli ng mga silo ang aking mga paa.

23 Gayon man, Panginoon, iyong talastas ang lahat nilang payo laban sa akin upang patayin ako; huwag mong ipatawad ang kanilang kasamaan, o pawiin mo man ang kanilang kasalanan sa iyong paningin; kundi sila'y mangatisod sa harap mo; parusahan mo sila sa kaarawan ng iyong galit.

158. ADDITIONAL NOTE

Since this chapter has dealt with the Holy Spirit, it is of importance to note that the Holy Spirit is nowhere named in the Old Testament Word, but only 'the Spirit of holiness' in three passages, one in the Psalms of David (Psalms 51:11), and two in Isaiah (Isaiah 63:10-11). But there are frequent references in the New Testament Word, as much in the Gospels as in the Acts of the Apostles and in their Epistles. The reason is that the Holy Spirit first existed when the Lord came into the world, for it came out of Him from the Father; for 'the Lord alone is holy' (Revelation 15:4). For this reason too the angel Gabriel speaking to Mary the mother of Jesus said 'the holy thing which will be born of you' (Luke 1:35). The reason why we read 'The Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified' (John 7:39), although it was said earlier that the Holy Spirit filled Elizabeth (Luke 1:41) and Zechariah (Luke 1:67), as well as Simeon (Luke 2:25), was that it was the spirit of Jehovah the Father which filled them; and it was called the Holy Spirit because the Lord was already at that time in the world.

This is why nowhere in the Old Testament Word does it say that the Prophets spoke from the Holy Spirit, but from Jehovah. For everywhere we read 'Jehovah spoke to me', 'The Word from Jehovah came to me', 'Jehovah said', 'The saying of Jehovah.'

To remove all possibility of doubt I propose to quote the passages solely in Jeremiah where these expressions occur:

2:1-5, 9, 19, 22, 29, 31;

32:1, 6, 14-15, 25-26, 28, 30, 36, 42, 44;

33:1-2, 4, 10-13, 17, 19-20, 23, 25;

34:1-2, 4, 8, 12-13, 22;

35:1, 13, 17-19;

36:1, 6, 27, 29-30;

37:6-7, 9;

38:2-3, 17;

40:1;

42:7, 9, 15, 18-19;

43:8, 10;

44:1-2, 7, 11, 24-26, 30;

45:2, 5;

46:1, 23, 25, 28;

47:1;

48:1, 8, 12, 30, 35, 38, 40, 43-44, 47;

49:2, 5-7, 12-13, 16, 18, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 37-39;

50:1, 4, 10, 18, 20-21, 30-31, 33, 35, 40;

51:25, 33, 36, 39, 52, 58.

These are solely from Jeremiah. There are similar expressions in all the other Prophets, but it is never said that the Holy Spirit spoke, nor that Jehovah spoke to them by means of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 49

Studija

   

1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who did possess him, says Yahweh.

3 Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

4 Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come to me?

5 Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

7 Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

9 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?

10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

12 For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn't pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

13 For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

14 I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

15 For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

16 As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

17 Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

20 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

21 The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

23 Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.

24 Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

27 I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

30 Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor, says Yahweh; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

31 Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

32 Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners [of their hair] cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

33 Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

34 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36 On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37 I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes, says Yahweh.

39 But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Yahweh.
