YLT
Young's Literal Translation
At
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
from the
LORD
:
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, hath
this word been
from Jehovah,
saying
:
“This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Stand in the courtyard
of the house of the
LORD
and speak
all the words I have commanded you
to speak to
all
the
cities
of
Judah
who
come
to
worship
there.
Do
not omit
a word.
`Thus
said
Jehovah,
Stand thou
in the court
of the house of Jehovah,
and thou
hast
spoken
unto
all `those
of'
the cities
of
Judah
who
are
coming
in
to
bow
themselves
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
all
the
words that
I have commanded thee
to speak unto
them,
thou
dost
not diminish
a word.
Perhaps
they will
listen
and turn —
each from his evil way of
life—so
that
I may
relent
of
the disaster
I am planning
to bring
upon
them because of the evil of their deeds
.
If
so
be
they hearken,
and turn back
each from his evil way ,
then
I have
repented
concerning
the evil
that
I am thinking
of
doing
to them ,
because of the evil of their doings
.
And you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: ‘
If you
do not listen
to
Me and
walk in My law, which
I have
set before you,
`
And thou
hast
said
unto
them: Thus
said
Jehovah,
If ye
do not hearken
unto
Me ,
to
walk in My law, that
I set before you,
and
if
you
do
not
listen
to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have
sent
you again
and again
even
though
you
did
not listen
,
To hearken
to
the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am
sending
unto
you ,
yea,
rising
early
and sending,
and
ye
have
not hearkened
,
then I will
make
this house like
Shiloh, and I
will
make
this city an
object
of
cursing
among
all the
nations of the earth. ’”
Then I have
given
up
this house as
Shiloh, and this city I
give
up
for
a
reviling
to
all nations of the earth. '
Now
the priests and prophets and all the people heard
Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the
LORD
,
And
the priests ,
and the
prophets ,
and all the people ,
hear
Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah
,
and as
soon
as
he
had
finished
telling
all
the
people
everything
the LORD
had
commanded him to say
, the priests and prophets and all the people seized
him, shouting
, “You
must
surely die !
And it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the completion
of
Jeremiah's
speaking
all
that
Jehovah
hath
commanded him to speak
unto
all
the
people
, that
the priests ,
and the
prophets ,
and all the people catch
him, saying
, Thou
dost
surely die ,
How
dare
you
prophesy
in the name of the
LORD
that
this house will
become
like
Shiloh
and this city will
be
desolate
and
deserted!”
And all the people assembled against
Jeremiah in the house of the
LORD
.
Wherefore
hast
thou
prophesied
in the name of Jehovah,
saying,
`As
Shiloh
this house shall
be,
and this city is
wasted,
without
inhabitant?'
and all the people are
assembled unto
Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah
.
When
the officials
of Judah heard
these things, they went
up from the king’s
palace
to the house of the
LORD
and sat
there
at
the entrance
of the New Gate.
And
the heads
of Judah hear
these things, and
they go
up from the house
of
the
king
`
to '
the house of Jehovah,
and sit
in
the opening
of the new gate of
Jehovah
.
Then
the priests and prophets said
to
the officials
and all the people, “This
man
is
worthy
of death, for he has
prophesied against this city, as you
have heard with your own
ears !”
And
the priests and the
prophets speak
unto
the heads,
and unto
all the people, saying,
`Judgment
of death `is'
for
this
man
, for he hath
prophesied against this city, as ye
have heard with your ears .'
But
Jeremiah said
to
all the officials
and all the people, “The
LORD
sent me to prophesy against
this house and against
this city all the words that you
have heard .
And
Jeremiah speaketh
unto
all the heads,
and unto
all the people, saying,
`Jehovah
sent me to prophesy concerning
this house ,
and concerning
this city ,
all the words that ye
have heard ;
So
now, correct
your ways and deeds
, and obey
the voice of the
LORD
your God, so
that
He
might
relent
of
the disaster
He has
pronounced
against you.
And
now, amend
your ways ,
and your
doings
, and hearken
to
the voice of Jehovah
your God, and
Jehovah
doth
repent
concerning
the evil
that
He hath
spoken
against you.
As
for
me
, here
I am in your hands;
do to me what
you
think
is good and right .
`And
I
, lo,
I `
am '
in your hand,
do to me as
is good and as
is
right in
your
eyes;
But
know for
certain
that if you
put
me to death, you
will
bring
innocent blood upon
yourselves, upon
this city, and upon
its residents
; for truly the
LORD
has
sent me to speak all these words in
your
hearing
. ”
Only,
know ye
certainly,
that if ye
are
putting
me to death, surely
innocent blood ye
are
putting
on
yourselves, and
on
this city, and on
its inhabitants
; for truly hath
Jehovah
sent me unto
you
to speak in
your
ears
all these words. '
Then
the officials
and all the people told
the priests and prophets, “This
man
is not worthy
of death, for he
has
spoken
to
us
in the name of the
LORD
our God !”
And
the heads
and all the people say
unto
the priests and unto
the
prophets, `There
is not for
this
man
a
judgment
of death, for in the name of Jehovah
our God he
hath
spoken
unto
us.'
Some
of the elders of the land stood
up and said
to
the whole
assembly of the people,
And
certain
of the elders of the land rise
up ,
and speak
unto
all
the assembly of the people, saying,
“
Micah the Moreshite
prophesied
in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told
all the people of Judah that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Zion will
be
plowed
like
a field, Jerusalem will
become
a
heap
of
rubble
, and the temple
mount
a wooded
ridge
. ’
`
Micah the Morashtite
hath
been
prophesying
in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah ,
and he
saith
unto
all the people of Judah ,
saying:
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Zion is
a plowed
field, and
Jerusalem is
heaps
, And the mountain
of
the
house
is
for
high
places
of
a forest
.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah or
anyone
else
in
Judah put
him
to
death
? Did Hezekiah
not fear the
LORD
and
seek
His
favor
, and
did
not
the LORD
relent
of the disaster
He had
pronounced
against them ?
But
we are about
to
bring
great harm
on
ourselves!”
`Put
him
at
all
to
death
did Hezekiah king of Judah ,
and
all
Judah? Did he
not fear Jehovah?
yea
, he
appeaseth
the face
of Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
repenteth
concerning
the evil
that
He spake
against them ;
and
we are doing
great evil
against
our
souls.
Now
there was
another
man prophesying in the name of the
LORD
, Uriah
son of Shemaiah from
Kiriath
-jearim .
He prophesied
against this city and against this land the same
things
that
Jeremiah did.
`And
also
there hath
been
a
man prophesying in the name of Jehovah
, Urijah
son of Shemaiah ,
of
Kirjath
-Jearim ,
and
he prophesieth
against this city ,
and against this land according
to
all
the words
of
Jeremiah ,
King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men
and officials
heard
his words, and the king sought
to put him to death .
But
when
Uriah
found
out
about
it
, he
fled
in
fear
and went
to Egypt.
And
the
king Jehoiakim ,
and all his mighty ones,
and all
the
heads,
hear
his words, and the king seeketh
to put him to death, and Urijah
heareth,
and
feareth,
and
fleeth,
and
goeth
in
to Egypt.
Then
King Jehoiakim sent
men to Egypt :
Elnathan son of Achbor along
with
some
other
men .
And
the
king Jehoiakim sendeth
men to Egypt --
Elnathan son of Achbor ,
and
men with
him
unto
Egypt
--
They brought
Uriah
out of
Egypt and took
him to
King Jehoiakim, who
had
him put
to
the
sword and his body
thrown
into
the burial
place
of the common
people.
And
they bring
out Urijah
from
Egypt ,
and bring
him in
unto
the
king Jehoiakim, and
he
smiteth
him with
a
sword ,
and casteth
his corpse
unto
the graves
of the sons
of
the
people. '
Nevertheless
, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported
Jeremiah ,
so he
was
not handed
over
to the people to be
put to death.
Only
, the
hand
of
Ahikam son of Shaphan hath
been
with
Jeremiah so as
not to give
him
up
into
the hand
of
the
people to put him
to death.
