| [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]And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time -- and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison -- saying: |
| [2]Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 the Maker thereof, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that formed it to establish it, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is His name: |
[2]Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [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 unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things -- thou hast not known them. |
| [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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool; |
| [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 are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil: |
| [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]Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance 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 have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the 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 cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they 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 it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it. |
| [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 said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, 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]Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah. |
| [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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place -- that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities -- a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down. |
| [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 hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah. |
| [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]Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah. |
| [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 cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth. |
| [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 is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: `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 said Jehovah: `Not cut off to David is one sitting 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]And to the priests -- the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice -- all the days.' |
| [19]And the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came unto Jeremiah, saying: |
[19]And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season, |
| [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]Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, 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 the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.' |
| [23]And the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came to Jeremiah, saying: |
[23]And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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]`Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise -- So that they are no more a people before them! |
| [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 said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed -- |
| [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]Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.' |
