1. And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 also unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place.
|
2. Thou shalt not H3808 take H3947 thee a wife H802 , neither H3808 shalt thou have H1961 sons H1121 or daughters H1323 in this H2088 place H4725 .
|
|
3. For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers -- those bearing them, And of their fathers -- those begetting them in this land:
|
3. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 the sons H1121 and concerning H5921 the daughters H1323 that are born H3209 in this H2088 place H4725 , and concerning H5921 their mothers H517 that bore H3205 them , and concerning H5921 their fathers H1 that begot H3205 them in this H2088 land H776 ;
|
|
4. Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.
|
4. They shall die H4191 of grievous H8463 deaths H4463 ; they shall not H3808 be lamented H5594 ; neither H3808 shall they be buried H6912 ; but they shall be as dung H1828 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 : and they shall be H1961 consumed H3615 by the sword H2719 , and by famine H7458 ; and their carcasses H5038 shall be meat H3978 for the fowls H5775 of heaven H8064 , and for the beasts H929 of the earth H776 .
|
|
5. For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.
|
5. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Enter H935 not H408 into the house H1004 of mourning H4798 , neither H408 go H1980 to lament H5594 nor H408 bemoan H5110 them: for H3588 I have taken away H622 H853 my peace H7965 from H4480 H854 this H2088 people H5971 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , even H853 lovingkindness H2617 and mercies H7356 .
|
|
6. And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
|
6. Both the great H1419 and the small H6996 shall die H4191 in this H2063 land H776 : they shall not H3808 be buried H6912 , neither H3808 shall men lament H5594 for them: nor H3808 cut themselves H1413 , nor H3808 make themselves bald H7139 for them:
|
|
7. Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
|
7. Neither H3808 shall men tear H6536 themselves for them in H5921 mourning H60 , to comfort H5162 them for H5921 the dead H4191 ; neither H3808 shall men give them the cup H3563 of consolation H8575 to drink H8248 for H5921 their father H1 or for H5921 their mother H517 .
|
|
8. A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,
|
8. Thou shalt not H3808 also go H935 into the house H1004 of feasting H4960 , to sit H3427 with H854 them to eat H398 and to drink H8354 .
|
|
9. For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
|
9. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; Behold H2009 , I will cause to cease H7673 out of H4480 this H2088 place H4725 in your eyes H5869 , and in your days H3117 , the voice H6963 of mirth H8342 , and the voice H6963 of gladness H8057 , the voice H6963 of the bridegroom H2860 , and the voice H6963 of the bride H3618 .
|
|
10. And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, `For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what is our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?`
|
10. And it shall come to pass H1961 , when H3588 thou shalt show H5046 this H2088 people H5971 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 , and they shall say H559 unto H413 thee, Wherefore H5921 H4100 hath the LORD H3068 pronounced H1696 H853 all H3605 this H2063 great H1419 evil H7451 against H5921 us? or what H4100 is our iniquity H5771 ? or what H4100 is our sin H2403 that H834 we have committed H2398 against the LORD H3068 our God H430 ?
|
|
11. Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,
|
11. Then shalt thou say H559 unto H413 them, Because H5921 H834 your fathers H1 have forsaken H5800 me, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , and have walked H1980 after H310 other H312 gods H430 , and have served H5647 them , and have worshiped H7812 them , and have forsaken H5800 me , and have not H3808 kept H8104 my law H8451 ;
|
|
12. Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.
|
12. And ye H859 have done H6213 worse H7489 than your fathers H4480 H1 ; for, behold H2009 , ye walk H1980 every one H376 after H310 the imagination H8307 of his evil H7451 heart H3820 , that they may not H1115 hearken H8085 unto H413 me:
|
|
13. And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.
|
13. Therefore will I cast H2904 you out of H4480 H5921 this H2063 land H776 into H5921 a land H776 that H834 ye know H3045 not H3808 , neither ye H859 nor your fathers H1 ; and there H8033 shall ye serve H5647 H853 other H312 gods H430 day H3119 and night H3915 ; where H834 I will not H3808 show H5414 you favor H2594 .
|
|
14. Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: `Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,`
|
14. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that it shall no H3808 more H5750 be said H559 , The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , that H834 brought up H5927 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 ;
|
|
15. But, `Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,` And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
|
15. But H3588 H518 , The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , that H834 brought up H5927 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 from the land H4480 H776 of the north H6828 , and from all H4480 H3605 the lands H776 whither H834 H8033 he had driven H5080 them : and I will bring them again H7725 into H5921 their land H127 that H834 I gave H5414 unto their fathers H1 .
|
|
16. Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
|
16. Behold H2009 , I will send H7971 for many H7227 fishers H1771 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , and they shall fish H1770 them ; and after H310 H3651 will I send H7971 for many H7227 hunters H6719 , and they shall hunt H6679 them from H4480 H5921 every H3605 mountain H2022 , and from H4480 H5921 every H3605 hill H1389 , and out of the holes H4480 H5357 of the rocks H5553 .
|
|
17. For Mine eyes are upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.
|
17. For H3588 mine eyes H5869 are upon H5921 all H3605 their ways H1870 : they are not H3808 hid H5641 from my face H4480 H6440 , neither H3808 is their iniquity H5771 hid H6845 from H4480 H5048 mine eyes H5869 .
|
|
18. And I have recompensed a first -- A second time -- their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.
|
18. And first H7223 I will recompense H7999 their iniquity H5771 and their sin H2403 double H4932 ; because H5921 they have defiled H2490 H853 my land H776 , they have filled H4390 H853 mine inheritance H5159 with the carcasses H5038 of their detestable H8251 and abominable things H8441 .
|
|
19. O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.
|
19. O LORD H3068 , my strength H5797 , and my fortress H4581 , and my refuge H4498 in the day H3117 of affliction H6869 , the Gentiles H1471 shall come H935 unto H413 thee from the ends H4480 H657 of the earth H776 , and shall say H559 , Surely H389 our fathers H1 have inherited H5157 lies H8267 , vanity H1892 , and things wherein there is no H369 profit H3276 .
|
|
20. Doth man make for himself gods, And they -- no gods?
|
20. Shall a man H120 make H6213 gods H430 unto himself , and they H1992 are no H3808 gods H430 ?
|
|
21. Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name is Jehovah!
|
21. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , I will this H2063 once H6471 cause them to know H3045 , I will cause them to know H3045 H853 mine hand H3027 and my might H1369 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 my name H8034 is The LORD H3068 .
