pag-aaral

   

1 Có lời của Ðức Giê-hô-va phán cho tiên tri Giê-rê-mi, luận về các dân tộc.

2 Về Ê-díp-tô. Luận về đạo quân của vua Ê-díp-tô, Pha-ra-ôn-Nê-cô, bấy giờ đóng gần sông Ơ-phơ-rát, tại Cạt-kê-mít; tức đạo quân bị Nê-bu-cát-nết-sa, vua Ba-by-lôn, đánh đuổi, về năm thứ tư đời vua Giê-hô-gia-kim, con trai Giô-si-a, vua của Giu-đa.

3 Hỡi sửa soạn thuẫn lớn thuẫn nhỏ, và đi ra trận!

4 Hỡi lính kỵ, hãy thắng ngựa, cỗi lên! Khá đội mão trụ vào mặc giúp!

5 Làm sao ta đã thấy sự đó! Chúng nó bị kinh hãi, đều quay lưng lại; lính chiến vỡ tan, chạy trốn chẳng ngó lại đàng sau. Sự kinh khiếp khắp tứ bề, Ðức Giê-hô-va phán vậy.

6 Người rất lẹ cũng không thể thoát, người rất mạnh cũng không thể trốn. Về phương bắc, trên bờ sông Ơ-phơ-rát, kìa, chúng nó vấp và ngã!

7 Kìa, kẻ dấy lên như sông Ni-lơ, như sông lớn nổi sóng sôi bọt là ai?

8 Ấy là Ê-díp-tô dấy lên như sông Ni-lơ, các dòng nước nó sôi bọt như các sông. Nó nói: Ta sẽ dấy lên, bao phủ cả đất; ta sẽ hủy phá các thành và dân cư.

9 Ngựa, hãy xông tới; xe binh, hãy ruổi mau; hãy kéo tới, lính chiến kia; người Cút và người Phút đều mang thuẫn, còn nhiều Ly-đi cầm cung và giương ra.

10 Ngày đó thuộc về Chúa, là Ðức Giê-hô-va vạn quân; ấy là người báo thù, Ngài sẽ báo kẻ thù nghịch mình. Gươm nuốt mà no, uống huyết chúng nó cho đầy; vì Chúa, là Ðức Giê-hô-va vạn quân, có tế-tự trong xứ phương bắc, bên sông Ơ-phơ-rát.

11 Hỡi nữ đồng trinh, con gái của Ê-díp-tô! hãy lên Ga-la-át, mà lấy nhũ hương; ngươi dùng nhiều thứ thuốc cũng vô ích, chẳng chữa lành cho ngươi được!

12 Các nước đều nghe sự xấu hổ của ngươi, tiếng rên siếc của ngươi đầy khắp đất; vì lính chiến chạm lính chiến, cả hai cùng ngã với nhau.

13 Nầy là lời Ðức Giê-hô-va phán cho tiên tri Giê-rê-mi, về sự Nê-bu-cát-nết-sa, vua Ba-by-lôn, sẽ đến đánh đất Ê-díp-tô:

14 Hãy rao tin trong Ê-díp-tô; truyền cho Mít-đôn, báo cho Nốp và Tác-pha-nết, nói rằng: Hãy đứng sắp hàng, chực sẵn, vì gươm đã nuốt chung quanh ngươi.

15 Vì sao những người mạnh của ngươi bị cất mất? Chúng nó không đứng được, vì Ðức Giê-hô-va đuổi chúng nó.

16 Ngài làm cho nhiều người đi xiêu tó, người nầy ngã trên kẻ khác, mà rằng: Ði hè, trở về nơi dân ta, trong đất chúng ta sanh ra, xa nơi gươm dao ức hiếp!

17 Tại đó, họ kêu lên rằng: Pha-ra-ôn, vua Ê-díp-tô, bị diệt rồi; đã để dịp tiện qua đi.

18 Ðức Vua, danh Ngài là Giê-hô-va vạn quân, phán: Thật như ta sống, kẻ thù đến, như núi Tha-bô dấy lên giữa các núi khác, như Cạt-mên thò ra ngoài biển.

19 Hỡi gái đồng trinh ở Ê-díp-tô, hãy sắm đồ lề đi làm phu tù; vì Nốp sẽ trở nên hoang vu; sẽ bị đốt, không có dân ở nữa.

20 Ê-díp-tô là một con bò cái tơ đẹp đẽ, nhưng bị ong lỗ từ phương bắc đến chích nó.

21 Những quân thuê ở giữa nó cũng như con béo. Nhưng chúng nó cũng xây lưng lại, thảy cùng nhau trốn tránh, không đứng vững được. Vì ngày tai họa, kỳ thăm phạt, đã đến trên chúng nó rồi.

22 Tiếng nó như rắn đi; vì quân nghịch nó kéo tới mạnh lắm, cầm búa rìu đến trên nó, như thể thợ rừng.

23 Ðức Giê-hô-va phán: Quân nghịch đốn chặt rừng nó, rừng nó không thể dò xem được. Vì chúng nó đông hơn cào cào, không thể đếm được.

24 Con gái Ê-díp-tô sẽ mang xấu hổ, sẽ bị nộp trong tay dân phương bắc.

25 Ðức Giê-hô-va vạn quân, Ðức Chúa Trời của Y-sơ-ra-ên, phán rằng: Nầy, ta sẽ phạt A-môn, là thần của Nô, luôn cả Pha-ra-ôn, và Ê-díp-tô, với các thần và các vua nó: tức Pha-ra-ôn cùng những kẻ nhờ cậy người.

26 Ta sẽ phó chúng nó trong tay những kẻ đòi mạng chúng nó, tức trong tay Nê-bu-cát-nết-sa, vua Ba-by-lôn, và trong tay tôi tớ người; về sau Ê-díp-tô sẽ còn có dân ở như ngày xưa. Ðức Giê-hô-va phán vậy.

27 Hỡi tôi tớ ta là Gia-cốp, chớ sợ chi; hỡi Y-sơ-ra-ên, chớ kinh hãi! Vì ta sẽ cứu ngươi từ xứ xa, sẽ khiến dòng dõi ngươi ra từ đất mình bị làm phu tù. Gia-cốp sẽ trở về, được bình an yên ổn, chẳng ai làm cho sợ hãi.

28 Ðức Giê-hô-va phán: Hỡi Gia-cốp tôi tớ ta, ngươi chớ sợ, vì ta ở cùng ngươi. Ta sẽ diệt hết các nước mà ta đã đuổi ngươi đến; còn ngươi, thì ta không diệt hết đâu, nhưng sẽ sửa trị ngươi cách chừng mực, và không thể nào không phạt ngươi.

Doctrine of the Lord # 53

53. As regards the Word itself, the prophets do not say that they spoke it by virtue of the Holy Spirit, but that they spoke it from Jehovah, Jehovah of Hosts, and the Lord Jehovih. For we read, “the word came to me from Jehovah, ” “Jehovah spoke to me, ” and most often, “Jehovah said, ” or “the word of Jehovah.” And because the Lord is Jehovah, as we have shown above, therefore all of the Word was spoken by Him.

That no one may doubt this to be the case, I wish to cite only passages from Jeremiah which say “the word came to me from Jehovah, ” “Jehovah spoke to me, ” “Jehovah said, ” or “the word of Jehovah.” See, for example, the following in Jeremiah: 1:4, 7, 11-14, 19; 2:1-5, 9, 19, 22, 29, 31; 3:1, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16; 4:1, 3, 9, 17, 27; 5:11, 14, 18, 22, 29; 6:6, 9, 12, 15-16, 21-22; 7:1, 3, 11, 13, 19-21; 8:1, 3, 12-13; 9:3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 17, 22, 24-25; 10:1-2, 18; 11:1, 6, 9, 11, 17-18, 21-22; 12:14, 17; 13:1, 6, 9, 11-15, 25; 14:1, 10, 14-15; 15:1-3, 6, 11, 19-20; 16:1, 3, 5, 9, 14, 16; 17:5, 19-21, 24; 18:1, 5-6, 11, 13; 19:1, 3, 6, 12, 15; 20:4; 21:1, 4, 7-8, 11-12; 22:2, 5-6, 11, 16, 18, 24, 29-30; 23:2, 5, 7, 12, 15, 24, 29, 31, 38; 24:3, 5, 8; 25:1, 3, 7-9, 15, 27-29, 32; 26:1-2, 18; 27:1-2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 19, 21-22; 28:2, 12, 14, 16; 29:4, 8-9, 16, 19-21, 25, 30-32; 30:1-5, 8, 10-12, 17-18; 31:1-2, 7, 10, 15-17, 23, 27-28, 31-38; 32:1, 6, 14-15, 25-26, 28, 30, 36, 42; 33:1-2, 4, 10-13, 17, 19-20, 23, 25; 34:1-2, 4, 8, 12-13, 17, 22; 35:1, 13, 17-19; 36:1, 6, 27, 29-30; 37:6-7, 9; 38:2-3, 17; 39:15-18; 40:1; 42:7, 9, 15, 18-19; 43:8, 10; 44:1-2, 7, 11, 24-26, 30; 45:1-2, 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 the passages found just in Jeremiah. Similar declarations are found in all the rest of the Prophets, and they do not say that the Holy Spirit spoke, nor that Jehovah spoke to them through the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 32

pag-aaral

   

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

2 Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4 and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;

5 and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?

6 Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

7 Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to Buy it.

8 So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.

9 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

10 I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;

12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

13 I commanded Baruch before them, saying,

14 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.

15 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.

16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,

17 Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,

18 who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name;

19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among [other] men; and made yourself a name, as in this day;

21 and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

22 and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

23 and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn't obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.

24 Behold, the mounds, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it.

25 You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,

27 Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

28 Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

29 and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.

31 For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

34 But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech; which I didn't command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

36 Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

37 Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

38 and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

40 and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

42 For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

43 Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.
