Si Jeremias ay Bumili ng Bukid sa Anatot
32 Nagpahayag(A) si Yahweh kay Jeremias noong ika-10 taon ng paghahari sa Juda ni Zedekias, at ika-18 taon naman ni Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia. 2 Nang panahong iyon, na sinasalakay ng hukbo ng hari ng Babilonia ang Jerusalem, si Propeta Jeremias nama'y mahigpit na binabantayan sa bilangguan ng palasyo. 3 Ipinabilanggo siya ni Haring Zedekias dahil sa kanyang patuloy na pagpapahayag at pagsasabing, “Ito ang ipinapasabi ni Yahweh: Ipapasakop ko ang lunsod na ito sa hari ng Babilonia. 4 Si Haring Zedekias ay hindi makakaligtas sa mga taga-Babilonia, at ihaharap siya sa hari nito. Makakausap niya ito at makikita nang harap-harapan. 5 Dadalhin siyang bihag sa Babilonia at mananatili roon hanggang sa muli ko siyang maalala. Kahit anong pakikipaglaban ang gawin ninyo, hindi kayo magtatagumpay laban sa kanila.”
6 Sinabi pa ni Jeremias, “Ito ang pahayag sa akin ni Yahweh: 7 Si Hanamel na anak ng iyong amaing si Sallum ay lalapit sa iyo upang ipagbili ang kanyang bukirin sa Anatot sapagkat ikaw ang malapit niyang kamag-anak at may karapatang bumili niyon.” 8 Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Yahweh, si Hanamel ay pumunta sa akin at sinabi: “Bilhin mo na ang bukid ko sa Anatot, sa lupain ng Benjamin. Ikaw ang may karapatang bumili niyon bilang pinakamalapit kong kamag-anak.” Naalala ko ang sinabi ni Yahweh, 9 kaya binili ko ang bukid ng pinsan kong si Hanamel, sa halagang labimpitong pirasong pilak. 10 Nilagdaan ko ang kasulatan ng pagkabili at tinatakan; tumawag siya ng mga saksi, at tinimbang sa harapan nila ang salaping kabayaran. 11 Pagkatapos, kinuha ko ang kasulatan ng pagkabili, na tinatakan, at isang kopyang nakabukas, 12 at aking ibinigay kay Baruc na anak ni Nerias at apo ni Maaseias. Ito'y nasaksihan ni Hanamel, ng mga saksing lumagda sa kasulatan ng pagkabili, at ng mga Judiong nasa himpilan ng mga bantay. 13 Sa harapan nilang lahat, tinagubilinan ni Jeremias si Baruc ng ganito: 14 “Ito ang utos ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, ang Diyos ng Israel: Kunin mo ang mga kasulatang ito—ang tinatakan at ang nakabukas—at ilagay mo sa isang tapayan para hindi masira agad. 15 Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ni Yahweh: Darating ang panahon na muling bibilhin ang mga bahay, bukirin, at ubasan sa lupaing ito.”
Ang Panalangin ni Jeremias
16 Nang maibigay na kay Baruc ang kasulatan ng pagkakabili, 17 si Jeremias ay nanalangin: “Panginoong Yahweh, nilikha mo ang langit at ang lupa sa pamamagitan ng iyong kapangyarihan. Walang bagay na mahirap para sa iyo. 18 Nagpamalas ka ng kagandahang-loob sa libu-libo ngunit pinaparusahan mo ang mga anak dahil sa kasalanan ng mga magulang. O dakila at makapangyarihang Diyos na ang pangala'y Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, 19 dakila ang iyong mga panukala at kahanga-hanga ang iyong mga gawa. Nakikita mo ang ginagawa ng lahat ng tao, at ginagantihan ang bawat isa ayon sa kanyang pamumuhay at gawa. 20 Gumawa ka ng mga tanda at kababalaghan sa Egipto, at hanggang ngayo'y patuloy kang gumagawa ng mga kababalaghan sa Israel at sa ibang mga bansa, kaya kilala na ngayon ang iyong pangalan sa lahat ng dako. 21 Inilabas mo sa Egipto ang iyong bayang Israel, kasabay ng mga tanda at kababalaghan; ikaw ang umakay sa kanila, sa pamamagitan ng iyong lakas at taglay na kapangyarihan. 22 Ibinigay mo sa kanila ang lupaing ito na mayaman at sagana sa lahat ng bagay, gaya ng ipinangako mo sa kanilang mga ninuno; 23 pinasok nila ito at sinakop. Ngunit hindi nila sinunod ang iyong utos o namuhay man ayon sa iyong kautusan. Hindi nila tinupad ang alinman sa mga utos, kaya nga ipinadala mo sa kanila ang lahat ng kapahamakang gaya nito. 24 Sasalakay na ang mga taga-Babilonia; marami ang masasawi sa labanan, sa gutom, at sa salot. Ang lunsod ay mahuhulog sa kamay ng kaaway. Matutupad na ang lahat ng iyong sinabi. 25 Ngunit ikaw ang nag-utos sa akin, Panginoong Yahweh, na bilhin ko sa harapan ng mga saksi ang bukirin, bagaman ang lunsod na ito ay naibigay na sa mga taga-Babilonia.”
26 At sinabi ni Yahweh kay Jeremias, 27 “Ako si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng lahat ng tao; walang bagay na mahirap para sa akin. 28 Kaya(B) nga, tandaan mo ang sinasabi ko: Ibibigay ko sa mga sundalo ni Haring Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia ang lunsod na ito. 29 Ito'y papasukin ng hukbo niya at susunugin; kasamang matutupok ang mga bahay ng mga taong kinapopootan ko. Sapagkat ang mga bubungan nila'y ginamit na sunugan ng insenso para kay Baal, at dito rin ibinubuhos ang mga alak na handog sa ibang diyos.
30 “Buhat pa sa pasimula, wala nang ginawa ang Israel at ang Juda kundi puro kasamaan, kaya nagagalit ako sa kanilang ginagawa,” ang sabi ni Yahweh. 31 “Mula nang itayo ang lunsod na ito, lagi na lamang nila akong ginagalit, kaya wawasakin ko na ito. 32 Suklam na suklam na ako sa likong gawain ng mga taga-Israel at Juda, ng kanilang mga hari, mga pinuno, mga pari, mga propeta, at lahat ng naninirahan dito. 33 Ako'y tinalikuran nila; bagama't patuloy ko silang tinuruan, ayaw nilang makinig o tumanggap man ng payo. 34 Inilagay(C) pa nila ang kanilang mga kasuklam-suklam na diyus-diyosan sa aking Templo, at sa gayo'y dinumihan ito. 35 Gumawa(D) pa sila ng mga altar para kay Baal sa Libis ng Ben Hinom, at doon sinusunog bilang handog kay Molec ang kanilang mga anak. Hindi ko ito iniutos o inisip man lamang na ipagawa sa kanila upang magkasala ang Juda.”
Ang Pangako ni Yahweh
36 Kaya nga, sinabi ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, kay Jeremias, “Ipahayag mo na ang lunsod na ito'y ibibigay sa kamay ng hari ng Babilonia, sa pamamagitan ng digmaan, gutom at salot. 37 Ngunit ngayon, titipunin ko sila mula sa lahat ng lupaing pinagtapunan ko sa kanila nang ako'y magalit. Ibabalik ko sila sa lupaing ito, at ligtas na maninirahan dito. 38 At sila'y magiging aking bayan at ako ang magiging kanilang Diyos. 39 Magkakaisa sila ng puso at layunin sa pagsunod sa akin para sa kanilang kabutihan at ng kanilang mga anak. 40 Makikipagtipan ako sa kanila ng isang walang hanggang tipan; pagpapalain ko sila habang panahon at tuturuang sumunod sa akin nang buong puso upang hindi na sila tumalikod pa sa akin. 41 Ikagagalak ko ang gawan sila ng kabutihan. Ipinapangako kong patatatagin ko sila sa lupaing ito, at gagawin ko ito nang buong puso't kaluluwa.”
42 Sabi ni Yahweh, “Kung paanong pinadalhan ko ng kapahamakan ang bayang ito; gayon ko ipagkakaloob ang kasaganaang aking ipinangako. 43 Muling magbebentahan ng mga bukirin sa lupaing ito na ngayo'y wala nang naninirahan kahit tao o hayop, at nasa kamay ng mga taga-Babilonia. 44 At sa pagbibilihang muli ng mga bukirin, lalagdaan at tatatakan ang mga kasulatan ng pagkabili, sa harapan ng mga saksi. Ito'y magaganap sa Benjamin, sa paligid ng Jerusalem, sa mga lunsod ng Juda, sa kaburulan, sa Sefela, at sa mga lunsod sa timog ng Juda; sapagkat ibabalik ko ang kanilang kayamanan.”
Jeremiah 32
New International Version
Jeremiah Buys a Field
32 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth(A) year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth(B) year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 The army of the king of Babylon was then besieging(C) Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was confined(D) in the courtyard of the guard(E) in the royal palace of Judah.
3 Now Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him there, saying, “Why do you prophesy(F) as you do? You say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will capture(G) it. 4 Zedekiah(H) king of Judah will not escape(I) the Babylonians[a](J) but will certainly be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him with his own eyes. 5 He will take(K) Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will remain until I deal with him,(L) declares the Lord. If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not succeed.’”(M)
6 Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: 7 Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth,(N) because as nearest relative it is your right and duty(O) to buy it.’
8 “Then, just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said, ‘Buy my field(P) at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. Since it is your right to redeem it and possess it, buy it for yourself.’
“I knew that this was the word of the Lord; 9 so I bought the field(Q) at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels[b] of silver.(R) 10 I signed and sealed the deed,(S) had it witnessed,(T) and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy— 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch(U) son of Neriah,(V) the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and of all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13 “In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: 14 ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed(W) and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’(X)
16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch(Y) son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord,(Z) you have made the heavens and the earth(AA) by your great power and outstretched arm.(AB) Nothing is too hard(AC) for you. 18 You show love(AD) to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps(AE) of their children(AF) after them. Great and mighty God,(AG) whose name is the Lord Almighty,(AH) 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.(AI) Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;(AJ) you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.(AK) 20 You performed signs and wonders(AL) in Egypt(AM) and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown(AN) that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand(AO) and an outstretched arm(AP) and with great terror.(AQ) 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(AR) 23 They came in and took possession(AS) of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law;(AT) they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster(AU) on them.
24 “See how the siege ramps(AV) are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague,(AW) the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said(AX) has happened,(AY) as you now see. 25 And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field(AZ) with silver and have the transaction witnessed.(BA)’”
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.(BB) Is anything too hard for me?(BC) 28 Therefore this is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar(BD) king of Babylon, who will capture it.(BE) 29 The Babylonians who are attacking this city will come in and set it on fire; they will burn it down,(BF) along with the houses(BG) where the people aroused my anger by burning incense on the roofs to Baal and by pouring out drink offerings(BH) to other gods.(BI)
30 “The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth;(BJ) indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but arouse my anger(BK) with what their hands have made,(BL) declares the Lord. 31 From the day it was built until now, this city(BM) has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove(BN) it from my sight. 32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked(BO) me by all the evil(BP) they have done—they, their kings and officials,(BQ) their priests and prophets, the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs(BR) to me and not their faces; though I taught(BS) them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.(BT) 34 They set up their vile images(BU) in the house that bears my Name(BV) and defiled(BW) it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(BX) to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek,(BY) though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind(BZ)—that they should do such a detestable(CA) thing and so make Judah sin.(CB)
36 “You are saying about this city, ‘By the sword, famine and plague(CC) it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon’; but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 37 I will surely gather(CD) them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger(CE) and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.(CF) 38 They will be my people,(CG) and I will be their God. 39 I will give them singleness(CH) of heart and action, so that they will always fear(CI) me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant(CJ) with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire(CK) them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.(CL) 41 I will rejoice(CM) in doing them good(CN) and will assuredly plant(CO) them in this land with all my heart and soul.(CP)
42 “This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity(CQ) on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised(CR) them. 43 Once more fields will be bought(CS) in this land of which you say, ‘It is a desolate(CT) waste, without people or animals, for it has been given into the hands of the Babylonians.’ 44 Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds(CU) will be signed, sealed and witnessed(CV) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(CW) because I will restore(CX) their fortunes,[c] declares the Lord.”

King James Version
32 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, 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 behold his eyes;
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying,
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto 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 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 And 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 unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered 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 countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto 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 for ever, 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 them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, 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 saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
