הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, מֵאֵת יְהוָה, אַחַר שַׁלַּח אֹתוֹ נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים, מִן-הָרָמָה--בְּקַחְתּוֹ אֹתוֹ, וְהוּא-אָסוּר בָּאזִקִּים בְּתוֹךְ כָּל-גָּלוּת יְרוּשָׁלִַם וִיהוּדָה, הַמֻּגְלִים, בָּבֶלָה.
ha-davar asher-hayah el-Yirmeyahu, me'et YHWH, achar shallach oto Nevuzar'adan rav-tabachim, min-ha-ramah--bekakhto oto, vehu-asur bazikim betokh kol-galut Yerushalayim vihudah, ha-muglim, bavelah.
The word which 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 the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive unto Babylon.
2.
וַיִּקַּח רַב-טַבָּחִים, לְיִרְמְיָהוּ; וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו--יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ דִּבֶּר אֶת-הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת, אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה.
vayikach rav-tabachim, leyirmeyahu; vayomer elav--YHWH Elohekha diber et-hara'ah hazot, el-hamakom hazeh.
And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him: 'The LORD thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;
3.
וַיָּבֵא וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּר: כִּי-חֲטָאתֶם לַיהוָה וְלֹא-שְׁמַעְתֶּם בְּקוֹלוֹ, וְהָיָה לָכֶם דבר הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה.
vayave ve'ayas YHWH, ka'asher diber: ki-chata'tem laYHWH velo-shema'tem bekolo, vehayah lakhem davar hadavar hazeh.
and the LORD hath brought it, and done according as He spoke; because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not hearkened to His voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
4.
וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה פִתַּחְתִּיךָ הַיּוֹם, מִן-הָאזִקִּים אֲשֶׁר עַל-יָדֶךָ--אִם-טוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבוֹא אִתִּי בָבֶל בֹּא וְאָשִׂים אֶת-עֵינִי עָלֶיךָ, וְאִם-רַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָבוֹא-אִתִּי בָבֶל חֲדָל: רְאֵה כָּל-הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֶיךָ, אֶל-טוֹב וְאֶל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת שָׁמָּה לֵךְ.
ve'atah hineh fittachtikha hayom, min-ha'azikim asher al-yadekha--im-tov be'eineykha lavo iti Bavel bo ve'asim et-eini aleykha, ve'im-ra be'eineykha lavo-iti Bavel chadal: re'eh kol-ha'aretz lefanekha, el-tov ve'el-hayashar be'eineykha lalechet shamah lekh.
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which are upon thy 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 right unto thee to go, thither go.--
5.
וְעוֹדֶנּוּ לֹא-יָשׁוּב, וְשֻׁבָה אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִיד מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְשֵׁב אִתּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם, אוֹ אֶל-כָּל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת, לֵךְ; וַיִּתֶּן-לוֹ רַב-טַבָּחִים אֲרֻחָה וּמַשְׂאֵת, וַיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ.
ve'odennu lo-yashuv, ve-shuvah el-gedalyah ven-achikam ben-shafan asher hifkid melekh-Bavel be'arei Yehudah veshev ito betokh ha'am, o el-kol-hayashar be'eineykha lalechet, lekh; vayitten-lo rav-tabachim aruchah umas'et, vayshal'hehu.
Yet he would not go back.--Go back then 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 right unto thee to go.' So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go.
6.
וַיָּבֹא יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה בֶן-אֲחִיקָם, הַמִּצְפָּתָה; וַיֵּשֶׁב אִתּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם, הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּאָרֶץ.
vayavo Yirmeyahu el-Gedalyahu ven-Achikam, hamitzpatah; vayeshev ito betokh ha'am, hanish'arim ba'aretz.
Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
7.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה, הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם, כִּי-הִפְקִיד מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם, בָּאָרֶץ; וְכִי הִפְקִיד אִתּוֹ, אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וָטָף, וּמִדַּלַּת הָאָרֶץ, מֵאֲשֶׁר לֹא-הָגְלוּ בָּבֶלָה.
vayishme'u khol-sarei hachayalim asher bashadeh, hemah ve'ansheihem, ki-hifkid melekh-Bavel et-Gedalyahu ven-Achikam, ba'aretz; vekhi hifkid ito, anashim venashim vataf, umidallat ha'aretz, me'asher lo-haglu Bavelah.
Now when all the captains of the forces that 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 poorest of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
8.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה, הַמִּצְפָּתָה; וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָהוּ וְיוֹחָנָן וְיוֹנָתָן בְּנֵי-קָרֵחַ וּשְׂרָיָה בֶן-תַּנְחֻמֶת וּבְנֵי עופי עֵיפַי הַנְּטֹפָתִי, וִיזַנְיָהוּ בֶּן-הַמַּעֲכָתִי--הֵמָּה, וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם.
vayavo'u el-Gedalyahu, hamitzpatah; veYishma'el ben-Netanyahu veYochanan veYonatan benei-Kareach usrayah ben-Tanchumet uvenei Oyfi Eyfay hannotofati, veYizanyahu ben-hama'akhati--hemah, ve'ansheihem.
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 the Maacathite, they and their men.
9.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהֶם גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן, וּלְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם לֵאמֹר, אַל-תִּירְאוּ, מֵעֲבוֹד הַכַּשְׂדִּים; שְׁבוּ בָאָרֶץ, וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל--וְיִיטַב לָכֶם.
vayishava lahem Gedalyahu ven-Achikam ben-Shafan, ule'ansheihem lemor, al-tiru, me'avod hakhasdim; shevu va'aretz, ve'ivdu et-melekh Bavel--veyitav lakhem.
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore 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.
10.
וַאֲנִי, הִנְנִי יֹשֵׁב בַּמִּצְפָּה, לַעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי הַכַּשְׂדִּים, אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ אֵלֵינוּ; וְאַתֶּם אִסְפוּ יַיִן וְקַיִץ וְשֶׁמֶן, וְשִׂמוּ בִּכְלֵיכֶם, וּשְׁבוּ, בְּעָרֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-תְּפַשְׂתֶּם.

As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans that may 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.'
11.
וְגַם כָּל-הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר-בְּמוֹאָב וּבִבְנֵי-עַמּוֹן וּבֶאֱדוֹם וַאֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-הָאֲרָצוֹת, שָׁמְעוּ, כִּי-נָתַן מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל שְׁאֵרִית, לִיהוּדָה; וְכִי הִפְקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם, אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן.

Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, 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;
12.
וַיָּשֻׁבוּ כָל-הַיְּהוּדִים, מִכָּל-הַמְּקֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר נִדְּחוּ-שָׁם, וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶרֶץ-יְהוּדָה אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ, הַמִּצְפָּתָה; וַיַּאַסְפוּ יַיִן וָקַיִץ, הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד.
vayashuvu kol-haye'hudim, mikkol-hamekomot asher niddechu-sham, vayavo'u eretz-yehudah el-gedalyahu, hamitzpatah; vaya'asfu yayin vakayitz, harbeh me'od.
then 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 in great abundance.
13.
וְיוֹחָנָן, בֶּן-קָרֵחַ, וְכָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים, אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה--בָּאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ, הַמִּצְפָּתָה.
veyochanan, ben-kare'ach, vekhol-sarei hachayalim, asher bassadeh--ba'u el-gedalyahu, hamitzpatah.
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
14.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו, הֲיָדֹעַ תֵּדַע כִּי בַּעֲלִיס מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי-עַמּוֹן שָׁלַח אֶת-יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה, לְהַכֹּתְךָ, נָפֶשׁ; וְלֹא-הֶאֱמִין לָהֶם, גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם.
vayomeru elav hayado'a teda ki ba'alis melekh bene-amon shalah et-yishma'el ben-netanyahu lehakotkha nafesh velo-he'emin lahem gedalyahu ben-ahikam.
and said unto him: 'Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life?' But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
15.
וְיוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ אָמַר אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בַסֵּתֶר בַּמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר, אֵלְכָה נָּא וְאַכֶּה אֶת-יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה, וְאִישׁ, לֹא יֵדָע; לָמָּה יַכֶּכָּה נֶּפֶשׁ, וְנָפֹצוּ כָּל-יְהוּדָה הַנִּקְבָּצִים אֵלֶיךָ, וְאָבְדָה, שְׁאֵרִית יְהוּדָה.

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke 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 take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?'
16.
וַיֹּאמֶר גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם אֶל-יוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ, אַל-תעש תַּעֲשֵׂה אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה: כִּי-שֶׁקֶר אַתָּה דֹבֵר, אֶל-יִשְׁמָעֵאל.
vayomer gedalyahu ben-ahikam el-yohanan ben-kareah al-ta'aseh et-haddavar hazzeh ki-sheqer attah dover el-yishma'el.
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.'
