YLT
Young's Literal Translation
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah king of Judah came
this word from the
LORD
, saying ,
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah ,
king of Judah ,
hath
this word been
from Jehovah
, saying :
Thus saith
the
LORD;
Stand in the court of the LORD's
house, and speak
unto all the cities of Judah ,
which
come
to worship
in the LORD's
house, all the words that I command
thee to speak unto them ;
diminish
not 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 .
If so be they will
hearken, and turn every
man
from his evil way, that
I may
repent
me
of
the evil ,
which
I purpose
to do
unto
them because of the evil of their doings.
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 thou shalt
say
unto them ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
If ye will
not hearken to
me, to 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,
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent
unto you, both
rising up
early ,
and sending them
, but
ye have not hearkened ;
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 will
I make
this house like
Shiloh, and will
make
this city a curse
to 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. '
So
the priests and the 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,
Now
it came
to pass, when
Jeremiah
had
made
an
end
of speaking all that the
LORD
had
commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took
him, saying, Thou shalt
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 ,
Why
hast thou prophesied in the name of the
LORD
, saying, This house shall be like
Shiloh
, and this city shall
be
desolate
without an
inhabitant? And all the people were
gathered
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 princes
of Judah heard
these things, then
they came
up from the king's
house unto
the house of the
LORD
, and sat
down
in the entry
of the new gate of the
LORD's
house
.
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
spake
the priests and the prophets unto the princes
and to
all the people, saying, This man is
worthy
to
die;
for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your 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. '
Then
spake
Jeremiah unto all the princes
and to
all the people, saying, The
LORD
sent me to prophesy against
this house and against
this city all the words that ye 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 ;
Therefore
now amend your ways and your doings, and obey
the voice of the
LORD
your God ;
and the
LORD
will
repent him
of
the evil that he hath 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
, behold
, I am in your hand :
do with
me as seemeth
good and meet
unto
you.
`And
I
, lo
, I `
am '
in your hand ,
do to
me as is
good and as
is
right
in
your
eyes;
But
know ye for
certain
, that if ye put
me to death, ye
shall
surely bring
innocent blood upon
yourselves, and upon
this city, and upon
the
inhabitants thereof:
for of
a
truth
the
LORD
hath sent me unto you to speak all
these
words
in your ears.
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
said
the princes
and all the people unto the priests and to
the prophets ;
This
man
is not worthy
to
die:
for he
hath
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
. '
Then
rose
up
certain of the elders of the land, and spake
to
all the assembly of the people, saying,
And
certain of the elders of the land rise
up
, and speak
unto
all the assembly of the people, saying,
Micah the Morasthite
prophesied
in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake
to
all the people of Judah, saying ,
Thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts ;
Zion shall
be
plowed
like
a field, and Jerusalem shall
become
heaps, and the mountain of the house as
the
high places of a forest.
`
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 and all Judah put
him
at
all
to
death
? did he not fear the
LORD
, and
besought
the LORD
, and the
LORD
repented
him
of
the evil which
he had
pronounced
against them ?
Thus
might
we procure
great evil against our souls.
`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.
And there
was
also a man that
prophesied
in the name of the
LORD
, Urijah the
son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim
, who
prophesied
against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah .
`
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 ,
And when
Jehoiakim
the king, with
all his mighty men
, and all the princes
, heard
his words, the king sought
to put him to death :
but
when
Urijah heard
it
, he
was
afraid
, and fled
, and went
into
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 .
And Jehoiakim
the king sent
men into
Egypt ,
namely,
Elnathan the
son of Achbor, and certain
men with him into
Egypt .
And the king Jehoiakim
sendeth
men to
Egypt --
Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto
Egypt --
And they fetched
forth
Urijah
out of
Egypt, and brought
him unto Jehoiakim
the king ;
who
slew
him with the
sword, and cast
his dead
body
into
the graves 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
the hand of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan was
with Jeremiah ,
that
they
should
not give him into the hand of the people to put him 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.
