Jérémie 37

Bib Sen An (BSA) · Kreyòl Ayisyen

1 Alò, Sédécias, fis a Josias ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè wa nan peyi Juda a, te renye kon wa nan plas a Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan. 2 Men ni li menm, ni sèvitè li yo, ni pèp peyi a te koute pawòl SENYÈ a, ke li te pale pa Jérémie, pwofèt la. 3 Men wa Sédécias te voye Jucal, fis a Schélémia a, ak Sophonie, fis a Maaséja a, kote Jérémie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Souple, priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou menm.” 4 Alò, Jérémie te toujou ap sikile pami pèp la, paske yo potko mete l nan prizon. 5 Antretan, lame Farawon an te gen tan sòti an Égypte; epi lè Kaldeyen ki t ap fè syèj Jérusalem yo te tande rapò de yo a, yo te leve syèj la sou Jérusalem. 6 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di: 7 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Konsa nou va di a wa Juda a, ki te voye nou kote m pou mande konsèy la: “Gade byen, lame Farawon ki te vin parèt pou bannou asistans lan va retounen nan pwòp peyi li an Égypte. 8 Kaldeyen yo va retounen pou goumen kont vil sa a, e yo va pran l pou brile l ak dife.”’” 9 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Pa twonpe tèt nou pou nou di: “Kaldeyen yo vrèman va kite nou”, paske vrèman, yo pa prale. 10 Paske menm si nou te bat tout lame Kaldeyen ki t ap goumen kont nou yo e te gen sèlman moun blese ki rete pami yo, yo chak nan tant pa yo, yo ta soulve e brile vil sa a ak dife.’” 11 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè lame Kaldeyen an te leve syèj Jérusalem nan akoz lame Farawon an, 12 ke Jérémie te sòti deyò Jérusalem pou ale nan peyi Benjamin pou l ta ka pran posesyon a yon tèren pami pèp la. 13 Pandan li te kote Pòtay Benjamin an, yon kapitèn nan gad la ki te rele Jireija, fis a Schélémia, fis a Hanania a, te la. Li te arete Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di: “W ap vin apiye Kaldeyen yo!” 14 Men Jérémie te di: “Manti! Mwen p ap apiye Kaldeyen yo”. Men li te refize koute li. Konsa, Jireija te arete Jérémie e te mennen li kote ofisye yo. 15 Ofisye yo te fache ak Jérémie. Yo te bat li e yo te anprizone li lakay Jonathan, grefye a, ke yo te sèvi pou prizon. 16 Lè Jérémie te fin rive nan donjon an, sa vle di, yon chanm prizon, li te rete la pandan anpil jou. 17 Konsa, Wa Sédécias te voye retire li. Nan palè li, wa a an sekrè te kesyone l. Li te mande: “Èske gen yon pawòl ki sòti nan SENYÈ a?” Jérémie te reponn: “Wi, genyen!” Epi li te di: “Ou va livre nan men wa a Babylone nan.” 18 Anplis, Jérémie te di a Wa Sédécias: “Nan ki fason mwen te peche kont ou an, oswa kont sèvitè ou yo, oswa kont pèp sa a, pou ou te mete m nan prizon an? 19 Alò, ki kote pwofèt ki te pwofetize devan ou ye, ki t ap di: ‘Wa Babylone nan p ap parèt kont nou, ni kont peyi sa a’? 20 Men koulye a, souple, koute mwen, O mèt mwen, e wa mwen: souple, kite demann mwen an rive devan ou, e pa fè m retounen lakay Jonathan, grefye a, pou mwen pa mouri la.” 21 Epi Wa Sédécias te pase lòd e yo te pase lòd selon Jérémie pou l rete nan lakou kay gad la. Yo te bay li yon pen ki sòti nan lari boulanje a, jiskaske tout pen nan vil la te fini nèt. Konsa, Jérémie te rete nan lakou kay gad la.

Jérémie 37:1-2

Introduction

Zedekiah succeeds Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, in the Jewish throne, and does that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, Jer 37:1, Jer 37:2. The king sends a message to Jeremiah, Jer 37:3-5. God suggests an answer; and foretells the return of the Chaldean army, who should most assuredly take and burn the city, Jer 37:6-10. Jeremiah, in attempting to leave this devoted city, and retire to his possession in the country, is seized as a deserter, and cast into a dungeon, Jer 37:11-15. The king, after a conference with him, abates the rigour of his confinement, Jer 37:16-21.

Verse 1

And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah - Of the siege and taking of Jerusalem referred to here, and the making of Zedekiah king instead of Jeconiah, see 2Kgs 24:1 (note), etc., and the notes there.

Jérémie 37:3

Verse 3

Zedekiah - to the prophet Jeremiah - He was willing to hear a message from the Lord, provided it were according to his own mind. He did not fully trust in his own prophets.

Jérémie 37:4

Verse 4

Now Jeremiah came in and went out - After the siege was raised, he had a measure of liberty; he was not closely confined, as he afterwards was. See Jer 37:16.

Jérémie 37:5-6

Verse 5

Then Pharaoh's army - This was Pharaoh-hophra or Apries, who then reigned in Egypt in place of his father Necho. See Eze 29:6, etc. Nebuchadnezzar, hearing that the Egyptian army, on which the Jews so much depended, was on their march to relieve the city, suddenly raised the siege, and went to meet them. In the interim Zedekiah sent to Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord to know whether they might consider themselves in safety.

Jérémie 37:7-9

Verse 7

Pharaoh's army - shall return to Egypt - They were defeated by the Chaldeans; and, not being hearty in the cause, returned immediately to Egypt, leaving Nebuchadnezzar unmolested to recommence the siege.

Jérémie 37:10-11

Verse 10

For though ye had smitten the whole army - Strong words; but they show how fully God was determined to give up this city to fire and sword, and how fully he had instructed his prophet on this point.

Jérémie 37:12

Verse 12

Jeremiah went forth - At the time that Nebuchadnezzar had raised the siege, and gone to meet the Egyptian army.

Go into the land of Benjamin - To Anathoth, his native city.

To separate himself thence - "To receive a portion thereof among the people;" - Blayney: who supposes that Jeremiah went to receive a portion of the proceeds of his patrimony at Anathoth, which had, previously to the siege, been in the hands of the Chaldeans. The siege being now raised, he thought of looking thus after his own affairs. The Chaldee is to the same sense. "He went that he might divide the inheritance which he had there among the people." Dahler translates, 'He went to withdraw himself from the siege, as many others of the inhabitants." I believe he went to withdraw himself from a city devoted to destruction, and in which he could no longer do any good.

Jérémie 37:13-14

Verse 13

Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans - Thou art a deserter, and a traitor to thy country. As he had always declared that the Chaldeans should take the city, etc., his enemies took occasion from this to say he was in the interest of the Chaldeans, and that he wished now to go to them, and betray the place.

Jérémie 37:15

Verse 15

And smote him - Without any proof of the alleged treachery, without any form of justice.

In prison to the house of Jonathan - In Asiatic countries there is an apartment in the houses of the officers of the law, to confine all the accused that are brought before them. Jonathan was a scribe or secretary, and had a prison of this kind in his house.

Jérémie 37:16

Verse 16

Entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins - The dungeon was probably a deep pit; and the cabins or cells, niches in the sides, where different malefactors were confined. See Blayney.

Jérémie 37:17-18

Verse 17

Is there any word from the Lord? - Is there any farther revelation?

There is: - thou shalt be delivered - What bold faithfulness! And to a king, in whose hands his life now lay.

Jérémie 37:19

Verse 19

Where are now your prophets - They told you that the Chaldeans should not come; I told you they would. According to my word the Chaldeans are come, and are departed only for a short time.

Jérémie 37:20

Verse 20

Cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan - He had been ill used in this man's custody, so as to endanger his life, the place being cold, and probably unhealthy.

Jérémie 37:21

Verse 21

Then Zedekiah - the court of the prison - Was contiguous to the king's house, where the prisoners could readily see their friends.

Give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street - From the public stores; which he received till all the provisions were spent.
