Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah
, after Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of the executioners,
hath
sent
him from Ramah, in
his
taking
him
--
and
he a
prisoner
in chains --
in
the
midst
of
all the
removal
of Jerusalem and of
Judah, who
are
removed
to
Babylon.
The word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
, after that
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of the guard
had
let
him go
from Ramah, when
he had
taken
him
being
bound
in chains among
all that
were
carried
away
captive
of Jerusalem and Judah, which
were
carried
away
captive
unto
Babylon.
And the chief
of the executioners
taketh
Jeremiah, and saith
unto him, `Jehovah
thy God hath spoken
this evil concerning
this place ,
And the captain
of the guard
took
Jeremiah, and said
unto him, The
LORD
thy God hath pronounced
this evil upon
this place .
and
Jehovah
bringeth
`
it '
in
, and doth
as He spake,
because ye have sinned against Jehovah
, and have not hearkened
to
His voice, even
this thing hath
been
to
you.
Now
the
LORD
hath
brought
it, and done
according
as he hath
said:
because ye have sinned against the
LORD
, and have not obeyed
his voice, therefore
this thing is
come
upon
you.
`
And now, lo
, I have
loosed
thee to-
day from the chains that
`are'
on
thy
hand ;
if good in
thine
eyes
to come with me `to'
Babylon, come ,
and I keep
mine
eye
upon
thee: and
if evil
in
thine
eyes
to come with me to
Babylon, forbear ;
see
, all the land `
is '
before thee ,
whither `
it be'
good ,
and whither
`it
be'
right
in
thine
eyes
to go --
go. '
--
And now, behold
, I loose
thee this
day from the chains which
were
upon
thine
hand .
If it
seem
good unto
thee
to come with me into
Babylon, come ;
and I will
look
well
unto
thee: but
if it
seem
ill
unto
thee
to come with me into
Babylon, forbear :
behold
, all the land is before thee :
whither it seemeth
good and convenient
for
thee
to go ,
thither
go.
and
while he doth
not reply
--
`Or
turn
back unto
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath appointed
over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in
the
midst
of
the people ,
or whithersoever
it is
right
in
thine
eyes
to go --
go
. '
And
the chief
of the executioners
giveth
to
him for
the
way,
and a gift
, and sendeth
him away,
Now
while he was
not yet
gone
back ,
he
said,
Go
back
also
to
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made
governor
over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among
the people :
or go
wheresoever
it seemeth
convenient
unto
thee
to go. So
the captain
of the guard
gave
him victuals
and a reward
, and let
him go.
and
Jeremiah cometh
in
unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
to Mizpah ,
and dwelleth
with him ,
in
the
midst
of
the people who
are
left in the land.
Then
went
Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam to Mizpah ;
and dwelt
with him among
the people that
were
left in the land.
And
all the heads
of the forces that
`are'
in the field
hear
, they and their men, that the king of Babylon hath
appointed
Gedaliah son of Ahikam over
the land, and that
he
hath
charged
him `with'
men, and women, and infants
, and of the poor of the land, of those
who
have
not been
removed
to Babylon;
Now
when
all the captains
of the forces which
were
in the fields
, even
they and their men, heard
that the king of Babylon had
made
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam governor
in
the land, and had
committed
unto
him men, and women, and children
, and of the poor of the land, of them
that
were
not carried
away
captive
to Babylon;
and
they come
in
unto
Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the
Maachathite, they and their men.
Then
they came
to
Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the
sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the
son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the
son of a
Maachathite, they and their men.
And swear
to
them
doth
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
son of Shaphan ,
and to their men, saying, `Be
not afraid
of
serving
the Chaldeans ,
abide
in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is
well for
you ;
And Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan sware
unto
them
and to their men, saying, Fear
not to
serve
the Chaldeans :
dwell
in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall
be
well with
you .
and
I
, lo
, I am
dwelling
in
Mizpah, to stand
before
the Chaldeans who
are
come in
unto us ,
and
ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruit
, and oil, and put in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken. '
As
for
me
, behold
, I will
dwell
at
Mizpah, to serve
the Chaldeans ,
which
will
come unto us :
but
ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits
, and oil, and put them
in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
And
also
all the Jews who
`are'
in Moab, and among the sons
of
Ammon
, and in Edom, and who
`are'
in all the lands
, have
heard that the king of Babylon hath
given
a remnant to
Judah, and that he hath
appointed
over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
son of Shaphan ,
Likewise
when
all the Jews that
were
in Moab, and among the Ammonites
, and in Edom, and that
were
in all the countries
, heard that the king of Babylon had
left
a remnant of
Judah, and that he had
set
over them Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan ;
and
all the Jews from
all the
places whither they have
been
driven, turn
back
and enter
the land of Judah, unto
Gedaliah, to
Mizpah, and they
gather
wine and summer fruit
--
very much.
Even
all the Jews returned
out
of
all places whither they were
driven, and came
to
the land of Judah, to
Gedaliah, unto
Mizpah, and gathered
wine and summer fruits
very much.
And
Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads
of the forces that `are'
in the field
, have
come
in
unto
Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Moreover
Johanan the
son of Kareah, and all the captains
of the forces that were
in the fields
, came
to
Gedaliah to Mizpah,
and they
say
unto him, `
Dost thou really
know that Baalis king of the sons
of
Ammon
hath sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to smite
thy
soul
? '
And
Gedaliah son of Ahikam hath
not
given
to
them credence
.
And said
unto him, Dost thou certainly
know that Baalis the
king of the Ammonites
hath sent Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah to slay
thee
? But
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam believed
them not
.
And
Johanan son of Kareah hath
spoken
unto
Gedaliah in secret,
in
Mizpah ,
saying, `
Let me go, I pray thee, and I smite
Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one
doth
know ;
why
doth
he smite
thy
soul?
and
scattered
have
been
all Judah
who
are gathered unto thee, and perished
hath
the remnant of
Judah .'
Then
Johanan the
son of Kareah spake
to
Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly
saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will
slay
Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah, and no man
shall
know it:
wherefore
should
he slay
thee,
that
all the
Jews
which
are gathered unto thee should
be
scattered
, and the remnant in
Judah perish?
And
Gedaliah son of Ahikam saith
unto Johanan son of Kareah, `
Thou dost
not do this thing ,
for falsehood
thou art
speaking
concerning
Ishmael. '
But
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam said
unto Johanan the
son of Kareah, Thou shalt
not do this thing :
for thou speakest
falsely
of
Ishmael.
