Jeremi 37
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn, te mete Sedesyas, yonn nan pitit Jozyas yo, wa nan peyi Jida nan plas Jekonya, pitit Jojakim. 2 Men, ni Sedesyas, ni chèf li yo, ni ankenn lòt moun nan peyi a pa te vle tande mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi pou yo. 3 Men, wa Sedesyas te voye Jewoukal, pitit Chelemya, ak Sefanya, prèt la, pitit Maseja, bò kot pwofèt Jeremi pou mande l' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye yo a, pou yo tout. 4 Lè sa a, yo pa t' ankò mete Jeremi nan prizon. Li t'ap ale vini jan l' te vle nan mitan pèp la. 5 Lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil Jerizalèm. Lè yo pran nouvèl lame farawon an te travèse fwontyè peyi Lejip la, yo wete kò yo devan lavil Jerizalèm. 6 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Jeremi. Li di l': -Men repons w'a voye bay Sedesyas: 7 Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pale. Men sa n'a di wa Jida ki te voye nou bò kote m' lan. Lame farawon an t'ap vin ede nou. Men l'ap tounen lakay li nan peyi Lejip. 8 Lè sa a, moun Babilòn yo ap tounen dèyè nou ankò, y'ap atake lavil la, y'ap pran l', y'ap boule l'. 9 Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Pa twonpe tèt nou. Pa konprann moun Babilòn yo pati ale nèt, yo gen pou yo tounen. 10 Menm si nou ta rive kraze tout lame moun Babilòn k'ap fè nou lagè a epi se sa ki blese yo ase nou kite kouche anba tant yo, yo tout y'ap leve, y'ap vin boule lavil la ratè. 11 Lè sa a, lame moun Babilòn yo te wete kò yo devan Jerizalèm, paske yo te pran nouvèl mouvman lame farawon an. 12 Jeremi te vle fè yon ti soti andeyò lavil la pou li ale nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Li tapral resevwa pòsyon pa l' nan yon tè fanmi li ansanm ak tout rès moun yo t'ap separe. 13 Lè li rive Pòtay Benjamen, li kontre ak kòmandman pòs la ki te rele Jirija. Se te pitit Chelemya, pitit pitit Ananya. Jirija rete Jeremi, li di l' konsa: -Anhan! Ou pral rann tèt ou bay moun Babilòn yo! 14 Jeremi reponn li: -Non, monchè! Mwen pa pral rann tèt mwen kras bay moun Babilòn yo. Men Jirija pa koute l' menm. Li boukle Jeremi, li mennen l' bay chèf yo. 15 Chèf yo move sou Jeremi, yo fè bat li byen bat. Apre sa, yo fèmen msye lakay Jonatan, sekretè tanp lan. Yo te pran kay sa a sèvi yo prizon. 16 Yo mete Jeremi nan yon kacho anba tanp lan. Yo kite l' pase kèk tan la. 17 Apre sa, wa Sedesyas voye chache l'. Lè Jeremi rive nan palè a, wa a pran l' sou kote, li mande l': -Eske Seyè a ba ou yon mesaj pou mwen? Jeremi reponn: -Wi, monwa. Men li: Yo pral lage ou nan men wa lavil Babilòn lan. 18 Apre sa Jeremi mande wa a: -Sa mwen fè ou, sa m' fè chèf ou yo, sa m' fè pèp la pou ou mete m' nan prizon? 19 Kisa ki rive pwofèt ou yo ki te di ou wa lavil Babilòn lan pa t'ap vin atake ni ou menm ni peyi a? 20 Koulye a, monwa, mèt mwen, tanpri, koute sa m'ap mande ou. Tanpri souple, pa voye m' tounen nan prizon kay Jonatan, sekretè a. Si ou fè sa, nanpwen rechap pou mwen. 21 Se konsa, wa Sedesyas bay lòd pou yo fèmen Jeremi nan lakou gad palè yo. Chak jou se pou yo ba li yon pen y'a pran nan Riyèl Boulanje yo jouk jou p'ap gen pen ankò nan lavil la. Se konsa Jeremi rete nan lakou gad palè yo.

Jeremi 37:1
Jr 37:1-21. Historical Sections, Thirty-seventh through Forty-fourth Chapters. The Chaldeans Raise the Siege to Go and Meet Pharaoh-hophra. Zedekiah Sends to Jeremiah to Pray to God in Behalf of the Jews: in Vain, Jeremiah Tries to Escape to His Native Place, but Is Arrested. Zedekiah Abates the Rigor of His Imprisonment.
1. Coniah--curtailed from Jeconiah by way of reproach.
whom--referring to Zedekiah, not to Coniah (2Ki 24:17).
Jeremi 37:2
Jeremi 37:3
3. Zedekiah ... sent--fearing lest, in the event of the Chaldeans overcoming Pharaoh-hophra, they should return to besiege Jerusalem. See on Jr 21:1; that chapter chronologically comes in between the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth chapter. The message of the king to Jeremiah here in the thirty-seventh chapter is, however, somewhat earlier than that in the twenty-first chapter; here it is while the issue between the Chaldeans and Pharaoh was undecided; there it is when, after the repulse of Pharaoh, the Chaldeans were again advancing against Jerusalem; hence, while Zephaniah is named in both embassies, Jehucal accompanies him here, Pashur there. But, as Pashur and Jehucal are both mentioned in Jr 38:1, 2, as hearing Jeremiah's reply, which is identical with that in Jr 21:9, it is probable the two messages followed one another at a short interval; that in this Jr 37:3, and the answer, Jr 37:7-10, being the earlier of the two.
Zephaniah--an abettor of rebellion against God (Jr 29:25), though less virulent than many (Jr 29:29), punished accordingly (Jr 52:24-27).
Jeremi 37:4
Jeremi 37:5
5. After this temporary diversion, caused by Pharaoh in favor of Jerusalem, the Egyptians returned no more to its help (2Ki 24:7). Judea had the misfortune to lie between the two great contending powers, Babylon and Egypt, and so was exposed to the alternate inroads of the one or the other. Josiah, taking side with Assyria, fell in battle with Pharaoh-necho at Megiddo (2Ki 23:29). Zedekiah, seeking the Egyptian alliance in violation of his oath, was now about to be taken by Nebuchadnezzar (2Ch 36:13; Eze 17:15, 17).
Jeremi 37:7
7. shall return--without accomplishing any deliverance for you.
Jeremi 37:8
8. (Jr 34:22).
Jeremi 37:9
9. yourselves--Hebrew, "souls."
Jeremi 37:10
10. yet ... they--Even a few wounded men would suffice for your destruction.
Jeremi 37:11
11. broken up--"gone up."
Jeremi 37:12
12. Benjamin--to his own town, Anathoth.
to separate himself--Margin translates, "to slip away," from a Hebrew root, "to be smooth," so, to slip away as a slippery thing that cannot be held. But it is not likely the prophet of God would flee in a dishonorable way; and "in the midst of the people" rather implies open departure along with others, than clandestine slipping away by mixing with the crowd of departing people. Rather, it means, to separate himself, or to divide his place of residence, so as to live partly here, partly there, without fixed habitation, going to and fro among the people [Ludovicus De Dieu]. Maurer translates, "to take his portion thence," to realize the produce of his property in Anathoth [Henderson], or to take possession of the land which he bought from Hanameel [Maurer].
Jeremi 37:13
Jeremi 37:15
15. scribe--one of the court secretaries; often in the East part of the private house of a public officer serves as a prison.
Jeremi 37:16
16. dungeon ... cabins--The prison consisted of a pit (the "dungeon") with vaulted cells round the sides of it. The "cabins," from a root, "to bend one's self."
Jeremi 37:17
Jeremi 37:18
18. What--In what respect have I offended?
Jeremi 37:19
19. Where are now your prophets--The event has showed them to be liars; and, as surely as the king of Babylon has come already, notwithstanding their prophecy, so surely shall he return.
Jeremi 37:20
20. be accepted--rather, "Let my supplication be humbly presented" (see on Jr 36:7), [Henderson].
lest I die there--in the subterranean dungeon (Jr 37:16), from want of proper sustenance (Jr 37:21). The prophet naturally shrank from death, which makes his spiritual firmness the more remarkable; he was ready to die rather than swerve from his duty [Calvin].
Jeremi 37:21
21. court of the prison--(Jr 32:2; 38:13, 28).
bakers' street--Persons in the same business in cities in the East commonly reside in the same street.
all the bread ... spent--Jeremiah had bread supplied to him until he was thrown into the dungeon of Malchiah, at which time the bread in the city was spent. Compare this verse with Jr 38:9; that time must have been very shortly before the capture of the city (Jr 52:6). God saith of His children, "In the days of famine they shall be satisfied" (Psa 37:19; Is 33:16). Honest reproof (Jr 37:17), in the end often gains more favor than flattery (Pr 28:23).
