| [1]Moreover the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying: |
[1]MOREOVER, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, |
| [2]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 the Maker thereof, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that formed it to establish it, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is His name: |
[2]Thus says the LORD who made you and formed you and established you: the LORD is his name: |
| [3]Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and will tell thee great things, and hidden, which thou knowest not. |
[3]Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you know not. |
| [4]For thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down for mounds, and ramparts; |
[4]For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which the robbers have uprooted by the sword: |
| [5]Whereon they come to fight with the Chaldeans, even to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in Mine anger and in My fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid My face from this city: |
[5]They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill the streets with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in my anger and in my wrath; for I have turned my face from this city because of the evil which they did before me. |
| [6]Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. |
[6]Behold, I will bring to it a long period of healing, and I will heal them and will reveal to them the paths of peace and truth. |
| [7]And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. |
[7]And I will bring back the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them as at first. |
| [8]And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against Me, and whereby they have transgressed against Me. |
[8]And I will cleanse them from their iniquity whereby they have committed evil against me; and I will pardon all their trespasses whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me. |
| [9]And this city shall be to Me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it. |
[9]And Israel shall be to me for a name and for a delight, and for rejoicing and for glory before all the nations of the earth, who shall hear of all the good that I do to them; and they shall fear and be angry because of all the goodness and all the peace that I bring to them |
| [10]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say: It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, |
[10]Thus says the LORD: Again there shall be heard in this country which you say is a waste without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, which are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, |
| [11]The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say: 'Give thanks to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is good, for His mercy endureth for ever', even of them that bring offerings of thanksgiving into the house of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[11]The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Praise the LORD of hosts; for the LORD is good and pleasant, and his mercy endures for ever; even of those who bring a sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will bring back the captivity of the land, as at the first, says the LORD of hosts. |
| [12]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. |
[12]Thus says the LORD of hosts: From henceforth in this place which is waste, without men and without beast, and in all its cities there shall be habitations of shepherds and folds of the flocks. |
| [13]In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the Lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that counteth them, sait 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[13]In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the plain and in the cities of the south and in the land of Benjamin and in the places about Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, flocks shall again pass under the hands of those who count them, says the LORD. |
| [14]Behold, the days come, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. |
[14]Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will perform the good things which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah, says the LORD. |
| [15]In those days, and at that time, will I cause a shoot of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justi righteousness in the land. |
[15]In those days and at that time I will cause an heir of righteousness to rise up to David; and he shall rule over the kingdom and shall have understanding and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. |
| [16]In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is our righteousness. |
[16]In those days Judah shall be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which they shall call him: The LORD our righteousness |
| [17]For thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: There shall not be cut off unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; |
[17]For thus says the LORD, David shall never lack an heir to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; |
| [18]Neither shall there be cut off unto the priests the Levites a man before Me to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meal-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. |
[18]Neither shall the priests and the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings and to burn meat offerings and to do sacrifice and to burn incense continually. |
| [19]And the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came unto Jeremiah, saying: |
[19]And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, |
| [20]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: If ye can break My covenant with the day, and My covenant with the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season; |
[20]Thus says the LORD: if they can break my ordinances of the day, and my ordinances of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their appointed time; |
| [21]Then may also My covenant be broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, My ministers. |
[21]Then may also my covenant which I made with David my servant be broken, so that he should not have an heir to reign upon his throne; and my covenant with the priests and the Levites, my ministers. |
| [22]As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites that minister unto Me. |
[22]As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the descendants of David my servant and of the Levites who minister to me. |
| [23]And the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came to Jeremiah, saying: |
[23]Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, |
| [24]'Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying: The two families which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 did choose, He hath cast them off? and they contemn My people, that they should be no more a nation before them. |
[24]Have you not considered what this people are saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has rejected? Thus they have provoked my people to anger, that they should be no more a nation before me. |
| [25]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: If My covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; |
[25]Thus says the LORD: If my covenant be not in effect with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; |
| [26]Then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David My servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have compassion on them.' |
[26]Then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and of David my servant so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the house of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will bring them back from their exile and will have mercy upon them |
