Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah ,
which
was
the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah --
it
`is'
the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar,
At
that
time
the army
of the king of Babylon was
besieging
Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was
imprisoned
in the courtyard
of the guard,
which
was
in the palace
of the king of Judah .
And
then
the forces
of the king of Babylon are
laying
siege
against
Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet hath
been
shut
up
in the court
of the prison
that
`is'
in the house
of the king of Judah ,
For
Zedekiah king of Judah had
imprisoned
him, saying :
“Why
are
you
prophesying like
this?
You
claim
that
the
LORD
says
, ‘Behold
, I am about
to
deliver
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will
capture
it .
Where
Zedekiah king of Judah hath
shut
him up
, saying ,
`Wherefore
art
thou
prophesying, saying
, Thus
said
Jehovah,
Lo,
I am giving
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath
captured
it ;
Zedekiah king of Judah will
not escape from
the hands
of the Chaldeans, but he
will
surely
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will
speak
with him
face
to
face
and see him
eye
to
eye.
And
Zedekiah king of Judah doth
not escape out
of
the hand
of the Chaldeans, but is
certainly
given
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his
mouth
hath
spoken
with his
mouth,
and his
eyes
see his
eyes,
He
will
take
Zedekiah
to Babylon, where
he will
stay
until
I
attend
to
him, declares
the
LORD.
If
you
fight against
the Chaldeans, you
will
not succeed
. ’”
And
`
to '
Babylon he
leadeth
Zedekiah
, and
there
he is
till
My
inspecting
him, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
because
ye
fight with
the Chaldeans, ye
do
not prosper
. '
Jeremiah replied
, “The
word of the
LORD
came
to
me ,
saying :
And
Jeremiah saith
, `A
word of Jehovah
hath
been
unto
me saying ,
Behold!
Hanamel
, the
son of your
uncle
Shallum, is coming to
you
to
say
, ‘
Buy for yourself
my field in Anathoth, for you
have
the right of redemption to buy it
. ’
Lo
, Hanameel
son of Shallum, thine
uncle,
is coming unto
thee
, saying,
Buy for thee
my field that
`is'
in Anathoth, for thine
`is'
the right of redemption --
to buy.
Then,
as
the
LORD
had
said
, my cousin
Hanamel
came
to
me
in the courtyard
of the guard
and urged
me, ‘Please
buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you
own
the right of inheritance
and redemption .
Buy it
for yourself
. ’”
Then
I knew
that this
was
the word of the
LORD.
And
Hanameel
, my uncle's
son,
cometh
in unto
me,
according
to
the word
of Jehovah,
unto
the court
of
the
prison,
and saith
unto
me, `
Buy ,
I
pray
thee,
my field that
`is'
in Anathoth ,
that
`is'
in the land of Benjamin, for thine
`is'
the right of possession,
and thine
of
redemption --
buy for thee
. '
And
I know
that it
`is'
the word of Jehovah,
So
I bought
the field in Anathoth from my cousin
Hanamel
, and I weighed
out
seventeen shekels of silver.
And
I buy
the field ,
that
`is'
in Anathoth ,
from Hanameel,
my uncle's
son
, and I weigh
to
him
the
money
--
seventeen shekels of silver.
I signed
and sealed
the
deed
, called
in
witnesses, and weighed
out
the silver on
the
scales.
And
I write
in
a
book,
and seal
, and
cause
witnesses to
testify
, and weigh
the silver in
balances;
Then
I took
the deed
of
purchase —
the sealed copy
with
its
terms
and conditions
, as
well
as
the open copy—
And
I take
the purchase -book,
the sealed one,
according
to
law
and custom
, and
the open one.
and I gave
this
deed
to
Baruch son of Neriah, the
son of Mahseiah
, in
the sight
of my cousin
Hanamel
and the witnesses who
were
signing
the purchase agreement
and
all the Jews sitting in the courtyard
of the guard
.
And I give
the
purchase-book
unto
Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah
, before
the eyes
of Hanameel,
my uncle's
son,
and before
the eyes
of
the
witnesses ,
those
writing
in
the purchase -book,
before
the
eyes
of
all the Jews who
are
sitting in the court
of the prison
.
In
their
sight
I instructed
Baruch,
And
I charge
Baruch before
their
eyes
, saying,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, says:
Take these deeds—
both the sealed copy
and the open copy
of
the
deed
of
purchase—
and put them in a
clay
jar
to
preserve
them
for
a
long
time.
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Take these books,
this
purchase-book,
both the sealed one
and the open one,
and thou
hast
put them in an
earthen
vessel,
that
they
may
remain
many
days;
For this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, says:
Houses ,
fields ,
and vineyards will
again
be
bought in this land. ”
For thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Again
are
houses and
fields and vineyards bought in this land. '
After
I had
given
the deed
of
purchase to
Baruch son of Neriah, I
prayed
to
the
LORD:
And
I pray
unto
Jehovah
--
after
my
giving
the purchase -book
unto
Baruch son of Neriah --
saying
,
“Oh
, Lord GOD!
You
have
made the heavens and the earth by Your
great power and outstretched
arm .
Nothing
is too difficult
for You!
`Ah
, Lord Jehovah,
lo,
Thou
hast
made the heavens and the earth by Thy
great power ,
and by
Thy
stretched-out
arm ;
there
is nothing
too wonderful
for Thee:
You
show
loving
devotion
to thousands but
lay
the
iniquity of the
fathers into the laps
of their children
after them, O
great and
mighty
God
whose
name
is
the LORD
of Hosts,
Doing
kindness
to thousands ,
and
recompensing
iniquity of fathers into the bosom
of their sons
after them ;
God
, the
great ,
the mighty,
Jehovah
of Hosts `is'
His
name
,
the
One
great in counsel and mighty in deed
, whose
eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men
, to reward
each one
according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Great in counsel ,
and mighty in act
, in
that
Thine
eyes are open
on all the ways of the sons of Adam
, to give
to
each according to his ways ,
and according to the fruit of his doings:
You
performed
signs and wonders in the land of Egypt ,
and
You
do
so
to
this very
day, both
in Israel and among all
mankind.
And You
have
made
a name for
Yourself,
as is
the
case
to
this day.
In
that
thou
hast
done
signs and wonders in the land of Egypt unto
this day, and
in Israel ,
and among men,
and Thou
dost
make
for
Thee
a name as `at'
this day.
You
brought
Your
people Israel out
of
the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with
a strong hand and an
outstretched
arm, and with
great terror.
`And
Thou
bringest
forth
Thy
people Israel from
the land of Egypt ,
with signs and with
wonders, and
by
a strong hand ,
and by
a
stretched-out
arm, and by
great fear,
You
gave
them this land that You
had
sworn
to give
their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey .
And
thou
givest
to
them this land that thou
didst
swear
to their fathers to
give
to
them
, a land flowing with milk and honey ,
They came
in and possessed
it, but
they did
not obey
Your
voice or
walk
in Your
law .
They
failed
to
perform
all that You
commanded
them to do, and so
You
have
brought
upon
them all this disaster
.
And
they come
in ,
and possess
it, and
they have
not hearkened
to
Thy
voice ,
and
in Thy
law have
not
walked,
all that which
Thou
didst
lay
a
charge
on
them to do they
have
not
done
, and Thou
dost
proclaim
`to'
them all this evil
.
See
how
the siege
ramps
are
mounted
against
the city to capture it .
And
by
sword
and
famine
and
plague
, the city has
been given into the hands
of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it .
What
You
have
spoken has
happened
, as
You
now
see!
`Lo,
the mounts
--
they
have
come
in
to
the city to capture it, and
the city hath
been given into the hand
of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it ,
because
of
the
sword,
and
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence;
and
that
which
Thou
hast
spoken hath
come
to
pass
, and
lo,
Thou
art
seeing;
Yet You
, O Lord GOD,
have
said
to
me
, ‘
Buy for yourself
the field with silver
and call
in
witnesses ,
even
though
the city has
been delivered
into the hands
of the Chaldeans! ’”
Yet Thou
hast
said
unto
me
, O Lord Jehovah
, Buy for thee
the field with money,
and cause
witnesses to
testify
--
and
the city hath
been given
into the hand
of the Chaldeans! '
Then
the word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah:
And
the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Jeremiah ,
saying
:
“Behold
, I am the
LORD
, the
God of all flesh .
Is anything too difficult
for
Me
?
`Lo
, I `
am '
Jehovah
, God of all flesh :
For
Me
is anything too wonderful
?
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Behold
, I am about
to
deliver
this city into the hands
of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, who
will
capture
it .
`
Therefore, thus
said
Jehovah,
Lo,
I am giving
this city into the hand
of the Chaldeans ,
and into
the
hand
of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, and
he
hath
captured
it ;
And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will
come
in
, set it
on fire, and burn
it, along
with
the houses of
those
who
provoked
Me
to
anger
by
burning
incense
to Baal on
their
rooftops
and by
pouring
out drink
offerings
to other gods.
And come
in
have
the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city, and
they
have
set this
city
on fire, and have
burned
it, and
the houses on
whose
roofs
they
made
perfume
to Baal ,
and poured
out libations
to other gods ,
so
as
to
provoke
Me
to
anger
.
For the children
of Israel and of Judah have done
nothing
but
evil in My
sight
from their youth; indeed,
they
have
done
nothing
but
provoke
Me to
anger
by
the work of their hands ,
declares
the
LORD
.
For the sons
of Israel and the
sons
of Judah have been
only
doing
evil in Mine
eyes,
from their youth; for
the
sons
of
Israel
are
only
provoking
Me with
the work of their hands --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
For this
city
has
aroused
My
wrath
and fury from the day it
was
built until
now.
Therefore
I
will
remove
it from My presence
`
For a
cause
of
Mine
anger,
and a
cause
of
My
fury ,
hath
this
city
been
to
Me,
even
from the day that
they
built it ,
and
unto
this
day
--
to
turn
it
aside
from before
My face,
because of all the evil the children
of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to
anger—
they, their kings, their officials
, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents
of Jerusalem.
Because of all the evil of
the sons
of Israel ,
and of the
sons
of
Judah that
they
have done ,
so
as
to provoke Me --
they, their kings, their heads
, their priests ,
and their
prophets, and
the men of Judah, and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
They have
turned
their
backs
to
Me and not their
faces.
Though
I
taught
them again
and again
, they would
not listen
or
respond
to discipline
.
And
they turn
unto
Me the
neck,
and not the
face,
and
teaching
them ,
rising
early
and teaching
, and
they are
not hearkening
to accept
instruction
.
They have
placed
their abominations in the house that
bears
My Name, and
so have
defiled
it .
`And
they set
their abominations in the house over
which
My name is
called
, so as
to
defile
it ;
They have
built
the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make
their sons and daughters pass through the
fire
to Molech —something
I never
commanded
them, nor had
it ever
entered
My mind,
that
they
should
commit
such
an
abomination and
cause Judah to sin.
And
they build
the high places of Baal ,
that
`are'
in the valley of the
son
of
Hinnom ,
to cause
their sons and their
daughters to
pass through to Molech ,
which
I did
not
command
them, nor did
it come
up
on
my heart
to
do
this
abomination ,
so
as
to
cause Judah to sin.
Now therefore, about
this city of which you
say
, ‘
It will
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and
plague
, ’
this
is
what
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel
, says:
`And
now ,
therefore, thus
said
Jehovah,
God
of
Israel,
concerning
this city ,
of which ye
are
saying
, It hath
been
given
into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword ,
and by
famine, and
by
pestilence
,
I will
surely
gather
My
people
from
all the lands to
which
I have banished
them in My
furious
anger and great wrath, and I will
return
them to
this place and make
them dwell in
safety.
Lo,
I am
gathering
them
out
of
all the lands whither
I have driven
them in Mine
anger ,
and in
My
fury,
and
in
great wrath, and I have
brought
them back
unto
this place ,
and have
caused
them to
dwell confidently;
They will
be
My
people, and I will
be
their
God .
and
they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, and I am
to
them
for
God ;
I will
give
them one heart and one way, so
that
they
will
always
fear Me for their
own
good and for
the
good
of
their children
after them .
and
I have
given
to
them one heart ,
and one way, to
fear Me all
the
days,
for good to
them,
and to
their sons
after them :
I will
make
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them :
I will
never
turn away
from doing good
to
them, and I
will
put
My fear in their hearts
, so that
they
will
never
turn away
from Me .
and
I have
made
for
them a
covenant
age-during,
in
that
I turn not
back
from after
them
for
My
doing them good
, and My fear I
put
in their heart
, so as
not
to
turn aside
from me ;
Yes,
I will
rejoice
in
doing
them good, and I
will
faithfully
plant
them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
and
I have
rejoiced
over
them to
do
them
good, and have
planted
them in this land in
truth,
with all my heart ,
and with all My soul.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: Just
as I have
brought all this great disaster
on
this
people
, so I will
bring
on them all the good I have
promised
them .
`
For thus
said
Jehovah
: As I brought in
unto
this
people
all this great evil
, so I am
bringing
in
on them all the good that
I am
speaking
concerning
them ;
And fields
will
be
bought in this land about
which you
are saying, ‘It
is
a desolation, without man or
beast ;
it has
been delivered
into the hands
of the Chaldeans. ’
and bought hath
been
the
field
in this land of
which ye
are saying, A desolation it
`is'
, without man and
beast ,
it hath
been given
into the hand
of the Chaldeans.
Fields will
be
purchased
with silver
, and
deeds
will
be
signed
, sealed
, and witnessed
in the land of Benjamin, in the
areas
surrounding
Jerusalem, and in the
cities of Judah —the
cities of the hill country, the foothills
, and the Negev—because
I will
restore
them
from
captivity ,
declares
the
LORD
. ”
Fields with money
they
buy
, so
as
to
write
in
a
book
, and
to
seal
, and to
cause
witnesses
to
testify,
in the land of Benjamin, and
in suburbs
of
Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah ,
and
in
cities of the hill -
country, and
in
cities
of
the low
country
, and in
cities
of
the south,
for
I turn
back
their
captivity --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
