הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, מֵאֵת יְהוָה--בִּשְׁלֹחַ אֵלָיו הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ, אֶת-פַּשְׁחוּר בֶּן-מַלְכִּיָּה, וְאֶת-צְפַנְיָה בֶן-מַעֲשֵׂיָה הַכֹּהֵן, לֵאמֹר.

haddavar asher-hayah el-yirmeyahu, me'et YHWH--bishloakh elav hamelekh tzidkiyahu, et-pashkhur ben-malkiyahu, ve'et-tzevanyah ben-ma'aseyah hakohen, lemor.

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying:

דְּרָשׁ-נָא בַעֲדֵנוּ אֶת-יְהוָה, כִּי נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל נִלְחָם עָלֵינוּ; אוּלַי יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה אוֹתָנוּ כְּכָל-נִפְלְאֹתָיו, וְיַעֲלֶה מֵעָלֵינוּ.

derash-na ba'adenu et-YHWH, ki nevukhadretzar melekh-bavel nilkham aleynu; ulay ya'aseh YHWH otanu kekhol-nifle'otav, vaya'aleh me'aleynu.

'Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; peradventure the LORD will deal with us according to all His wondrous works, that he may go up from us.'

וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ, אֲלֵיהֶם: כֹּה תֹאמְרֻן, אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ.

vayomer yirmiyahu, alehem: koh tomerun, el-tzidkiyahu.

Then said Jeremiah unto them: Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, הִנְנִי מֵסֵב אֶת-כְּלֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּיֶדְכֶם, אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם נִלְחָמִים בָּם אֶת-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֶת-הַכַּשְׂדִּים, הַצָּרִים עֲלֵיכֶם מִחוּץ לַחוֹמָה; וְאָסַפְתִּי אוֹתָם, אֶל-תּוֹךְ הָעִיר הַזֹּאת.

koh-amar YHWH Elohei Yisrael, hinnini mesev et-kelei hamilkhah asher beyedkem, asher attem nilkhamim bam et-melech bavel ve'et-hakashdim, hatzarim aleichem mikhutz lakhomah; ve'asafti otam, el-toch ha'ir hazot.

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, that besiege you without the walls, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.

וְנִלְחַמְתִּי אֲנִי אִתְּכֶם, בְּיָד נְטוּיָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ חֲזָקָה, וּבְאַף וּבְחֵמָה, וּבְקֶצֶף גָּדוֹל.

venilkamti ani itchem, beyad netuyah uvizro'a khazaqah, uve'af uve'khemah, uveqetetz gadol.

And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

וְהִכֵּיתִי, אֶת-יוֹשְׁבֵי הָעִיר הַזֹּאת, וְאֶת-הָאָדָם, וְאֶת-הַבְּהֵמָה: בְּדֶבֶר גָּדוֹל, יָמֻתוּ.

vehikeiti, et-yoshvei ha'ir hazot, ve'et-ha'adam, ve'et-habehemah: bedever gadol, yamutu.

And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they shall die of a great pestilence.

וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן נְאֻם-יְהוָה אֶתֵּן אֶת-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-עֲבָדָיו וְאֶת-הָעָם וְאֶת-הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת מִן-הַדֶּבֶר מִן-הַחֶרֶב וּמִן-הָרָעָב, בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל, וּבְיַד אֹיְבֵיהֶם, וּבְיַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשָׁם; וְהִכָּם לְפִי-חֶרֶב--לֹא-יָחוּס עֲלֵיהֶם, וְלֹא יַחְמֹל וְלֹא יְרַחֵם.

ve'aharei-khen neum-YHWH eten et-tzidkiyahu melekh-yehuda ve'et-avadav ve'et-ha'am ve'et-hannisharim ba'ir hazzot min-haddever min-hacherev umin-ha'arav, beyad nevukhadretzar melekh-bavel, uveyad oyvehem, uveyad mevakshei nafsham; vehikkam lefi-cherev--lo-yachus aleihem, velo yachmol velo yerachem.

And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have compassion.

וְאֶל-הָעָם הַזֶּה תֹּאמַר, כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה: הִנְנִי נֹתֵן לִפְנֵיכֶם, אֶת-דֶּרֶךְ הַחַיִּים וְאֶת-דֶּרֶךְ הַמָּוֶת.

ve'el-ha'am hazzeh to'mar, koh amar YHWH: hinni noten lifneikhem, et-derekh hachayim ve'et-derekh hammavet.

And unto this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

הַיֹּשֵׁב, בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת, יָמוּת, בַּחֶרֶב וּבָרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר; וְהַיּוֹצֵא וְנָפַל עַל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַצָּרִים עֲלֵיכֶם, יחיה וְחָיָה, וְהָיְתָה-לּוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ, לְשָׁלָל.

hayoshev, ba'ir hazzot, yamut, bacherev uvaravad uvadkaver; vehayotzei venafal al-hakhasdim hatzarim aleikhem, vechayah, vehaytah-llo nafsho, leshalal.

He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth out, and falleth away to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

10.

כִּי שַׂמְתִּי פָנַי בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת לְרָעָה, וְלֹא לְטוֹבָה--נְאֻם-יְהוָה; בְּיַד-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל תִּנָּתֵן, וּשְׂרָפָהּ בָּאֵשׁ.

ki samti fanai ba'ir hazzot lera'ah, velo letovah--neum-YHWH; beyad-melekh bavel tinnaten, userafah ba'esh.

For I have set My face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD; it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

11.

וּלְבֵית מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה, שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר-יְהוָה.

ulveveit melekh yehudah, shim'u devar-YHWH.

And unto the house of the king of Judah: Hear ye the word of the LORD;

12.

בֵּית דָּוִד, כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, דִּינוּ לַבֹּקֶר מִשְׁפָּט, וְהַצִּילוּ גָזוּל מִיַּד עוֹשֵׁק: פֶּן-תֵּצֵא כָאֵשׁ חֲמָתִי, וּבָעֲרָה וְאֵין מְכַבֶּה, מִפְּנֵי, רֹעַ מעלליהם מַעַלְלֵיכֶם.

beit david, koh amar YHWH, dinu lavoker mishpat, vehatzilu gazul miyad oshek: pen-tetzei kha'esh khamati, uva'arah ve'ein mekhabeh, mipenei, ro'a ma'alleihem ma'allexekhem.

O house of David, thus saith the LORD: Execute justice in the morning, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury go forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

13.

הִנְנִי אֵלַיִךְ יֹשֶׁבֶת הָעֵמֶק, צוּר הַמִּישֹׁר--נְאֻם-יְהוָה; הָאֹמְרִים מִי-יֵחַת עָלֵינוּ, וּמִי יָבוֹא בִּמְעוֹנוֹתֵינוּ.

hineni elayikh yoshevet ha'emek, tzur hamishor--ne'um-YHWH; ha'omrim mi-yehat aleinu, umi yavo bim'onoteinu.

Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; ye that say: 'Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?'

14.

וּפָקַדְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם כִּפְרִי מַעַלְלֵיכֶם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וְהִצַּתִּי אֵשׁ בְּיַעְרָהּ, וְאָכְלָה כָּל-סְבִיבֶיהָ.

ufakadti aleikhem kifri ma'alleihem, ne'um-YHWH; vehitzati esh beya'rah, ve'akholah kol-seviveha.

And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her.
