| [1]The word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchad-nezzar. |
[1]The word that came to Jeremiah from 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. |
| [2]For then the king of Babylon's host besieged Jerusalem: And Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house. |
[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, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it? |
[3]For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying: 'Wherefore dost tho prophesy, and say: Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; |
| [4]And Zedekiah the king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his face, |
[4]And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of t 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. |
[5]And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I remember him, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall n prosper?' |
| [6]And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, |
[6]And Jeremiah said: 'The word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came unto me, saying: |
| [7]Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee and say, Buy unto thee my field, that is in Anathoth: for the title by kindred appertaineth unto thee to buy it. |
[7]Behold, Hanamel, 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 the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth unto thee: buy it for thee. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. |
[8]So Hanamel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and said unto me: 'Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [9]And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the silver, even seven shekels, and ten pieces of silver. |
[9]And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. |
| [10]And I wrote it in the book and signed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the silver in the balances. |
[10]And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. |
| [11]So I took the book of the possession, being sealed according to the law, and custom, with the book that was open, |
[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 gave the book of the possession 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, written in the book of the possession, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. |
[12]And I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle 's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard. |
| [13]And I charged Baruch before them, saying, |
[13]And I charged Baruch before them, saying: |
| [14]Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Take the writings, even this book of the possession, both that is sealed, and this book that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue a long time. |
[14]'Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days. |
| [15]For the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel saith thus, Houses and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. |
[15]For thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.' |
| [16]Now when I had delivered the book of the possession unto Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying, |
[16]Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, saying: |
| [17]Ah Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power, and by thy stretched out arm, and there is nothing hard unto thee. |
[17]'Ah Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and by Thy outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for Thee; |
| [18]Thou showest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O God the Great and Mighty, whose name is the Lord of Hosts, |
[18]Who showest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works) |
[19]Great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose 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 unto this day, and in Israel, and among all men, and hast made thee a name, as appeareth this day, |
[20]Who didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel and among other men; and madest Thee a name, as at this day; |
| [21]And hast brought thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, with a stretched out arm, and with great terror, |
[21]And didst bring forth Thy 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 hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, even a land, that floweth with milk and honey, |
[22]And gavest 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: all that thou commandest them to do, they have not done: therefore thou hast caused this whole plague to come upon them. |
[23]And they came in, and possessed it; but they hearkened not to 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 befall them; |
| [24]Behold, the mounts, they are come into the city to take it, and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it by means 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. |
[24]Behold the mounds, 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 unto thee the field for silver, and take witnesses: for the city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
[25]Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesse whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.' |
| [26]Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, |
[26]Then came the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 unto Jeremiah, saying: |
| [27]Behold, I am the Lord God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? |
[27]'Behold, I am 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, 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 Nebuchad-nezzar, king of Babylon, and he shall take it. |
[28]Therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: 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 shall come and fight against this city, and set fire on this city and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me unto anger. |
[29]And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke Me. |
| [30]For the children of Israel, and the children of Judah have surely done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have surely provoked me to anger with the works of their hands, saith the Lord. |
[30]For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done that which was evil in My sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked Me with the work of their hands, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [31]Therefore this city hath been unto me as a provocation of mine anger, and of my wrath, from the day, that they built it, even unto this day, that I should remove it out of my sight, |
[31]For this city hath been to Me 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, even they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. |
[32]Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me, 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 instructing them, yet they were not obedient to receive doctrine, |
[33]And they have turned unto Me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, teaching them betimes and often, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. |
| [34]But they set their abominations in the house (whereupon my name was called) to defile it, |
[34]But they set their abominations in the house whereupon My name is called, to defile it. |
| [35]And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Benhinnom, 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 such abomination, to cause Judah to sin. |
[35]And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to set apart their sons and their daughters 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 hath the Lord God of Israel spoken, 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, |
[36]And now therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye 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 countries, wherein I have scattered them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation, and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. |
[37]Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them back unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely; |
| [38]And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. |
[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 wealth of them, and of their children after them. |
[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 never turn away from them to do them good, but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. |
[40]And I will make an everlasti covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me. |
| [41]Yea, I will delight in them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart, and with all my soul. |
[41]Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth with My whole heart and with My whole soul. |
| [42]For thus saith the Lord, Like as I have brought all this great plague upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. |
[42]For thus sa 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: 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 the fields shall be possessed in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast, and shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
[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 silver, and make writings and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord. |
[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, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.' |
