1. And they come nigh -- all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest --
|
1. Then all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 , and Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and Jezaniah H3153 the son H1121 of Hoshaiah H1955 , and all H3605 the people H5971 from the least H4480 H6996 even unto H5704 the greatest H1419 , came near H5066 ,
|
|
2. and they say unto Jeremiah the prophet, `Let, we pray thee, our supplication fall before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as thine eyes do see us;
|
2. And said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , Let , we beseech thee H4994 , our supplication H8467 be accepted H5307 before H6440 thee , and pray H6419 for H1157 us unto H413 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , even for H1157 all H3605 this H2063 remnant H7611 ; ( for H3588 we are left H7604 but a few H4592 of many H4480 H7235 , as H834 thine eyes H5869 do behold H7200 us:)
|
|
3. and Jehovah thy God doth declare to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.`
|
3. That the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may show H5046 us H853 the way H1870 wherein H834 we may walk H1980 , and the thing H1697 that H834 we may do H6213 .
|
|
4. And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto them, `I have heard: lo, I am praying unto Jehovah your God according to your words, and it hath come to pass, the whole word that Jehovah answereth you, I declare to you -- I do not withhold from you a word.`
|
4. Then Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 said H559 unto H413 them , I have heard H8085 you ; behold H2009 , I will pray H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 your God H430 according to your words H1697 ; and it shall come to pass H1961 , that whatsoever H3605 H834 thing H1697 the LORD H3068 shall answer H6030 you , I will declare H5046 it unto you ; I will keep nothing back H4513 H3808 H1697 from H4480 you.
|
|
5. And they have said to Jeremiah, `Jehovah is against us for a witness true and faithful, if -- according to all the word with which Jehovah thy God doth send thee unto us -- we do not so.
|
5. Then they H1992 said H559 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 , The LORD H3068 be H1961 a true H571 and faithful H539 witness H5707 between us, if H518 we do H6213 not H3808 even H3651 according to all H3605 things H1697 for the which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall send H7971 thee to H413 us.
|
|
6. Whether good or evil, to the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we are sending thee, we do hearken; because it is good for us when we hearken to the voice of Jehovah our God.`
|
6. Whether H518 it be good H2896 , or whether H518 it be evil H7451 , we will obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 , to whom H834 we H580 send H7971 thee; that H4616 H834 it may be well H3190 with us, when H3588 we obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
7. And it cometh to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah,
|
7. And it came to pass H1961 after H4480 H7093 ten H6235 days H3117 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 .
|
|
8. and he calleth unto Johanan son of Kareah, and unto all the heads of the forces that are with him, and to all the people, from the least even unto the greatest,
|
8. Then called H7121 H413 he Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 which H834 were with H854 him , and all H3605 the people H5971 from the least H4480 H6996 even to H5704 the greatest H1419 ,
|
|
9. and he saith unto them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
|
9. And said H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , unto H413 whom H834 ye sent H7971 me to present H5307 your supplication H8467 before H6440 him;
|
|
10. `If ye do certainly dwell in this land, then I have builded you up, and I throw not down; and I have planted you, and I pluck not up; for I have repented concerning the evil that I have done to you.
|
10. If H518 ye will still abide H7725 H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , then will I build H1129 you , and not H3808 pull you down H2040 , and I will plant H5193 you , and not H3808 pluck you up H5428 : for H3588 I repent H5162 me of H413 the evil H7451 that H834 I have done H6213 unto you.
|
|
11. Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom ye are afraid of; be not afraid of him -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- for with you am I, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
|
11. Be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , of whom H834 ye H859 are afraid H3372 H4480 H6440 ; be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 him, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I H589 am with H854 you to save H3467 you , and to deliver H5337 you from his hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
12. And I give to you mercies, and he hath pitied you, and caused you to turn back unto your own ground.
|
12. And I will show H5414 mercies H7356 unto you , that he may have mercy upon H7355 you , and cause you to return H7725 H853 to H413 your own land H127 .
|
|
13. `And if ye are saying, We do not dwell in this land -- not to hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God,
|
13. But if H518 ye H859 say H559 , We will not H3808 dwell H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , neither H1115 obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 ,
|
|
14. saying, No; but the land of Egypt we enter, that we see no war, and the sound of a trumpet do not hear, and for bread be not hungry; and there do we dwell.
|
14. Saying H559 , No H3808 ; but H3588 we will go H935 into the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , where H834 we shall see H7200 no H3808 war H4421 , nor H3808 hear H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 , nor H3808 have hunger H7456 of bread H3899 ; and there H8033 will we dwell H3427 :
|
|
15. And now, therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: If ye really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to sojourn there,
|
15. And now H6258 therefore H3651 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; If H518 ye H859 wholly set H7760 H7760 your faces H6440 to enter into H935 Egypt H4714 , and go H935 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ;
|
|
16. then it hath come to pass, the sword that ye are afraid of, doth there overtake you, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which ye are sorrowful, doth there cleave after you in Egypt, and there ye die.
|
16. Then it shall come to pass H1961 , that the sword H2719 , which H834 ye H859 feared H3373 H4480 , shall overtake H5381 you there H8033 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and the famine H7458 , whereof H834 ye H859 were afraid H1672 H4480 , shall follow close H1692 after H310 you there H8033 in Egypt H4714 ; and there H8033 ye shall die H4191 .
|
|
17. `Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die -- by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not to them a remnant and an escaped one, because of the evil that I am bringing in upon them;
|
17. So shall it be H1961 with all H3605 the men H376 that H834 set H7760 H853 their faces H6440 to go into H935 Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ; they shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 : and none H3808 of them shall H1961 remain H8300 or escape H6412 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 that H834 I H589 will bring H935 upon H5921 them.
|
|
18. for thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured out hath been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering Egypt, and ye have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and ye do not see any more this place.
|
18. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; As H834 mine anger H639 and my fury H2534 hath been poured forth H5413 upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 ; so H3651 shall my fury H2534 be poured forth H5413 upon H5921 you , when ye shall H1961 enter into H935 Egypt H4714 : and ye shall be an execration H423 , and an astonishment H8047 , and a curse H7045 , and a reproach H2781 ; and ye shall see H7200 H853 this H2088 place H4725 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
19. `Jehovah hath spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: know certainly that I have testified against you to-day;
|
19. The LORD H3068 hath said H1696 concerning H5921 you , O ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Go H935 ye not H408 into Egypt H4714 : know certainly H3045 H3045 that H3588 I have admonished H5749 you this day H3117 .
|
|
20. for ye have shewed yourselves perverse in your souls, for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God saith, so declare to us, and we have done it;
|
20. For H3588 ye dissembled H8582 in your hearts H5315 , when H3588 ye H859 sent H7971 me unto H413 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , saying H559 , Pray H6419 for H1157 us unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 ; and according unto all H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 our God H430 shall say H559 , so H3651 declare H5046 unto us , and we will do H6213 it .
|
|
21. and I declare to you to-day, and ye have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah your God, and to anything with which He hath sent me unto you.
|
21. And now I have this day H3117 declared H5046 it to you ; but ye have not H3808 obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 , nor any H3605 thing for the which H834 he hath sent H7971 me unto H413 you.
|
|
22. And now, know ye certainly that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence ye die, in the place that ye have desired to go in to sojourn there.`
|
22. Now H6258 therefore know certainly H3045 H3045 that H3588 ye shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 , in the place H4725 whither H834 H8033 ye desire H2654 to go H935 and to sojourn H1481 .
