Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard in accordance with the word of the Lord, and he said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin, for you have the right of inheritance and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
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.
“And sure enough, just as God had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me while I was in jail and said, ‘Buy my field in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin, for you have the legal right to keep it in the family. Buy it. Take it over.’ “That did it. I knew it was God’s Message. 9-12 “So I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I paid him seventeen silver shekels. I followed all the proper procedures: In the presence of witnesses I wrote out the bill of sale, sealed it, and weighed out the money on the scales. Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy that contained the contract and its conditions and also the open copy—and gave them to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah. All this took place in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who had signed the deed, as the Jews who were at the jail that day looked on. 13-15 “Then, in front of all of them, I told Baruch, ‘These are orders from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: Take these documents—both the sealed and the open deeds—and put them for safekeeping in a pottery jar. For God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Life is going to return to normal. Homes and fields and vineyards are again going to be bought in this country.”’ 16-19 “And then, having handed over the legal documents to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to God, ‘Dear God, my Master, you created earth and sky by your great power—by merely stretching out your arm! There is nothing you can’t do. You’re loyal in your steadfast love to thousands upon thousands—but you also make children live with the fallout from their parents’ sins. Great and powerful God, named God-of-the-Angel-Armies, determined in purpose and relentless in following through, you see everything that men and women do and respond appropriately to the way they live, to the things they do. 20-23 “‘You performed signs and wonders in the country of Egypt and continue to do so right into the present, right here in Israel and everywhere else, too. You’ve made a reputation for yourself that doesn’t diminish. You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders—a powerful deliverance!—by merely stretching out your arm. You gave them this land and solemnly promised to their ancestors a bountiful and fertile land. But when they entered the land and took it over, they didn’t listen to you. They didn’t do what you commanded. They wouldn’t listen to a thing you told them. And so you brought this disaster on them. 24-25 “‘Oh, look at the siege ramps already set in place to take the city. Killing and starvation and disease are on our doorstep. The Babylonians are attacking! The Word you spoke is coming to pass—it’s daily news! And yet you, God, the Master, even though it is certain that the city will be turned over to the Babylonians, also told me, Buy the field. Pay for it in cash. And make sure there are witnesses.’” 26-30 Then God’s Message came again to Jeremiah: “Stay alert! I am God, the God of everything living. Is there anything I can’t do? So listen to God’s Message: No doubt about it, I’m handing this city over to the Babylonians and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He’ll take it. The attacking Chaldeans will break through and burn the city down: All those houses whose roofs were used as altars for offerings to Baal and the worship of who knows how many other gods provoked me. It isn’t as if this were the first time they had provoked me. The people of Israel and Judah have been doing this for a long time—doing what I hate, making me angry by the way they live.” God’s Decree. 31-35 “This city has made me angry from the day they built it, and now I’ve had my fill. I’m destroying it. I can’t stand to look any longer at the wicked lives of the people of Israel and Judah, deliberately making me angry, the whole lot of them—kings and leaders and priests and preachers, in the country and in the city. They’ve turned their backs on me—won’t even look me in the face!—even though I took great pains to teach them how to live. They refused to listen, refused to be taught. Why, they even set up obscene god and goddess statues in the Temple built in my honor—an outrageous desecration! And then they went out and built shrines to the god Baal in the valley of Hinnom, where they burned their children in sacrifice to the god Molech—I can hardly conceive of such evil!—turning the whole country into one huge act of sin.
Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the Lord and said to me, ‘Buy my field, please, that is at Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of possession and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
“Then my cousin Hanamel came to me. I was in the courtyard of the guard. It happened just as the Lord had said it would. Hanamel said, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth. It is in the territory of Benjamin. It is your right to buy it and own it. So buy it for yourself.’“I knew that this was the Lord’s message.

Then, just as the Lord had said he would, my cousin Hanamel came and visited me in the prison. He said, “Please buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else, so buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that the message I had heard was from the Lord.

وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ جَاءَ حَنَمْئِيلُ ابْنُ عَمِّي إِلَيَّ فِي دَارِ السِّجْنِ بِمُقْتَضَى كَلِمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي: ’اشْتَرِ حَقْلِي الَّذِي فِي عَنَاثُوثَ فِي أَرْضِ بِنْيَامِينَ، لأَنَّ لَكَ حَقَّ الإِرْثِ وَالْفِكَاكِ.‘ حِينَئِذٍ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّ تِلْكَ كَانَتْ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ.

Det skete, som Herren havde sagt. Kort efter kom Hanamel og besøgte mig i den indre gård, hvor jeg sad i forvaring. „Køb min mark i Anatot i Benjamins land,” bad han. „Du har forkøbsret til den, fordi du er min nærmeste slægtning.” Da forstod jeg, at det var Herrens vilje, at jeg skulle købe den.

Effectivement, mon cousin Hanaméel vint me trouver dans la cour du corps de garde, comme l’Eternel me l’avait annoncé, et il me dit : Achète, s’il te plaît, le champ que je possède à Anatoth, dans le territoire de Benjamin, car, par la loi d’héritage, tu as, en vertu du droit de rachat, priorité pour l’acquérir. Achète-le donc pour toi.Alors je sus que l’Eternel m’avait bien parlé.

“Kag suno sa ginsiling sang Ginoo, nagkadto sa akon si Hanamel nga akon pakaisa didto sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya. Nagsiling siya, ‘Bakla ang akon uma sa Anatot sa kadutaan sang tribo ni Benjamin. May kinamatarong ka kag katungdanan sa pagpanag-iya sini, gani bakla ini.’“Nahibaluan ko nga ang Ginoo gid ang nagsiling sadto,

바로 그때 여호와께서 말씀하신 대로 내 삼촌의 아들 하나멜이 궁전 뜰의 감옥에 있는 나에게 와서 이렇게 말하였다. “너는 베냐민 땅의 아나돗에 있는 내 밭을 사라. 그것을 사서 소유할 권리가 너에게 있으니 네가 이것을 사라.” 그때 나는 내가 들은 말씀이 여호와의 말씀인 것을 확실히 알게 되었다.

Hanameël kwam zoals de Here had voorzegd en bezocht mij in de gevangenis. ‘Koop mijn stuk land in Anathoth, in het land van Benjamin,’ zei hij, ‘want de wet geeft u het eerste recht om te kopen.’ Toen wist ik zeker dat de boodschap die ik had gehoord, van de Here afkomstig was.

“Conforme o Senhor tinha dito, meu primo Hanameel veio ao meu encontro no pátio da guarda e disse: ‘Compre a propriedade que tenho em Anatote, no território de Benjamim, porque é seu o direito de posse e de resgate. Compre-a!’“Então, compreendi que essa era a palavra do Senhor.
Com efeito, Hanameel apareceu, como o Senhor tinha predito. Veio ver-me à prisão e disse-me: “Compra a minha propriedade de Anatote, na terra de Benjamim, porque tens o direito de a adquirires, perante a lei.” Foi assim que me dei conta de que efetivamente a mensagem que tinha recebido vinha do Senhor.
