הוֹי רֹעִים, מְאַבְּדִים וּמְפִצִים אֶת-צֹאן מַרְעִיתִי--נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
hoy ro'im, me'avdim umefitzim et-tzon mar'iti--ne'um-YHWH.
Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the LORD.
Hebrew to Tamil - Jeremiah - Chapter 23
← Homeof 52
2.
לָכֵן כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, עַל-הָרֹעִים הָרֹעִים אֶת-עַמִּי, אַתֶּם הֲפִצֹתֶם אֶת-צֹאנִי וַתַּדִּחוּם, וְלֹא פְקַדְתֶּם אֹתָם; הִנְנִי פֹקֵד עֲלֵיכֶם אֶת-רֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיכֶם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
laken koh-amar YHWH elohei yisrael, al-haro'im haro'im et-ammi, attem hafitzotem et-tzoni vattadichum, velo feqadtem otam; hinni foqed aleichem et-roa ma'allichem, ne'um-YHWH.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds that feed My people: Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not taken care of them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3.
וַאֲנִי, אֲקַבֵּץ אֶת-שְׁאֵרִית צֹאנִי, מִכֹּל הָאֲרָצוֹת, אֲשֶׁר-הִדַּחְתִּי אֹתָם שָׁם; וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי אֶתְהֶן עַל-נְוֵהֶן, וּפָרוּ וְרָבוּ.
Va'ani, akabetz et-she'erit tzoni, mikol ha'aratzot, asher-hidadhti otam sham; vahashiboti ethen al-nvehen, ufaru veravu.
And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
4.
וַהֲקִמֹתִי עֲלֵיהֶם רֹעִים, וְרָעוּם; וְלֹא-יִירְאוּ עוֹד וְלֹא-יֵחַתּוּ וְלֹא יִפָּקֵדוּ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
Vahakimoti alehem ro'im, vera'um; velo-yiru od velo-yechatu velo yifakedu, neum-YHWH.
And I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith the LORD.
5.
הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם-יְהוָה, וַהֲקִמֹתִי לְדָוִד צֶמַח צַדִּיק; וּמָלַךְ מֶלֶךְ וְהִשְׂכִּיל, וְעָשָׂה מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה בָּאָרֶץ.
Hinneh yamim ba'im neum-YHWH, vahakimoti ledavid tzemach ttzaddik; umalach melech vehaskil, ve'asa mishpat utzedakah ba'aretz.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous shoot, and he shall reign as king and prosper, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6.
בְּיָמָיו תִּוָּשַׁע יְהוּדָה, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח; וְזֶה-שְּׁמוֹ אֲשֶׁר-יִקְרְאוֹ, יְהוָה צִדְקֵנוּ.
Beyamiv tivvasha yehudah, veyisrael yishkon lavetach; vezeh-shemo asher-yikro, YHWH tzidkenu.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness.
7.
לָכֵן הִנֵּה-יָמִים בָּאִים, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וְלֹא-יֹאמְרוּ עוֹד חַי-יְהוָה, אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָה אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם.
lakhen hinneh-yamim ba'im, neum-YHWH; velo-yomru od khay-YHWH, asher he'elah et-bnei Yisrael me'eretz Mitzrayim.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt';
8.
כִּי אִם-חַי-יְהוָה, אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָה וַאֲשֶׁר הֵבִיא אֶת-זֶרַע בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹנָה, וּמִכֹּל הָאֲרָצוֹת, אֲשֶׁר הִדַּחְתִּים שָׁם; וְיָשְׁבוּ, עַל-אַדְמָתָם.
ki im-khay-YHWH, asher he'elah va'asher hevi et-zera beit Yisrael me'eretz tzafonah, umikol ha'aratzot, asher hidakhtim sham; veyashvu, al-admatam.
but: 'As the LORD liveth, that brought up and that led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them'; and they shall dwell in their own land.
9.
לַנְּבִאִים נִשְׁבַּר לִבִּי בְקִרְבִּי, רָחֲפוּ כָּל-עַצְמוֹתַי--הָיִיתִי כְּאִישׁ שִׁכּוֹר, וּכְגֶבֶר עֲבָרוֹ יָיִן: מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה, וּמִפְּנֵי דִּבְרֵי קָדְשׁוֹ.
lanevi'im nishbar libi vekirbi, rakhafu kol-atzmotay--hayiti ke'ish shikor, ukgever avaro yayin: mipnei YHWH, umipnei divrei kodsho.
Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of the LORD, and because of His holy words.
10.
כִּי מְנָאֲפִים, מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ--כִּי-מִפְּנֵי אָלָה אָבְלָה הָאָרֶץ, יָבְשׁוּ נְאוֹת מִדְבָּר; וַתְּהִי מְרוּצָתָם רָעָה, וּגְבוּרָתָם לֹא-כֵן.
ki mena'afim, male'ah ha'aretz--ki-mipnei alah avalah ha'aretz, yavshu ne'ot midbar; vatehi merutzatam ra'ah, ugevuratam lo-khen.
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth, the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11.
כִּי-גַם-נָבִיא גַם-כֹּהֵן, חָנֵפוּ; גַּם-בְּבֵיתִי מָצָאתִי רָעָתָם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
ki-gam-navi gam-kohen, khanefu; gam-beveiti matzati ra'atam, ne'um-YHWH.
For both prophet and priest are ungodly; yea, in My house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
12.
לָכֵן יִהְיֶה דַרְכָּם לָהֶם, כַּחֲלַקְלַקּוֹת בָּאֲפֵלָה, יִדַּחוּ, וְנָפְלוּ בָהּ: כִּי-אָבִיא עֲלֵיהֶם רָעָה שְׁנַת פְּקֻדָּתָם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
lakhen yihyeh darkam lahem, kakhalaklakot ba'afelah, yiddakhu, ve'nafru vah: ki-avi alehem ra'ah shenat pekudatam, ne'um-YHWH.
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness, they shall be thrust, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
13.
וּבִנְבִיאֵי שֹׁמְרוֹן, רָאִיתִי תִפְלָה; הִנַּבְּאוּ בַבַּעַל, וַיַּתְעוּ אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל.
uvinvi'ei Shomron, ra'iti tiflah; hinnabe'u vaba'al, vayat'u et-ammi et-Yisrael.
And I have seen unseemliness in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied by Baal, and caused My people Israel to err.
14.
וּבִנְבִאֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם רָאִיתִי שַׁעֲרוּרָה, נָאוֹף וְהָלֹךְ בַּשֶּׁקֶר וְחִזְּקוּ יְדֵי מְרֵעִים, לְבִלְתִּי-שָׁבוּ, אִישׁ מֵרָעָתוֹ; הָיוּ-לִי כֻלָּם כִּסְדֹם, וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ כַּעֲמֹרָה.
uvinvi'ei Yerushalayim ra'iti sha'urarah, na'of vehalokh basheker vekhizzuku yedei mere'im, levilti-shavu, ish mera'ato; hayu-li khulam kisdom, veyosheveha ka'amorah.
But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies, and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them become unto Me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15.
לָכֵן כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, עַל-הַנְּבִאִים, הִנְנִי מַאֲכִיל אוֹתָם לַעֲנָה, וְהִשְׁקִתִים מֵי-רֹאשׁ: כִּי, מֵאֵת נְבִיאֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם, יָצְאָה חֲנֻפָּה, לְכָל-הָאָרֶץ.
lakhen koh-amar YHWH tzva'ot, ‘al-hanevi'im, hinnini ma'akhil otam la‘anah, vehishqitim mei-rosh: ki, me'et nevi'ei Yerushalayim, yatze'ah khanupah, lekhol-ha'aretz.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.
16.
כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, אַל-תִּשְׁמְעוּ עַל-דִּבְרֵי הַנְּבִאִים הַנִּבְּאִים לָכֶם--מַהְבִּלִים הֵמָּה, אֶתְכֶם: חֲזוֹן לִבָּם יְדַבֵּרוּ, לֹא מִפִּי יְהוָה.
koh-amar YHWH tzva'ot, ’al-tishme‘u ‘al-divrei hanevi'im hannib'im lakhem--mahbilim hemah, etkhem: khazon libam yedaberu, lo mipi YHWH.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you, they lead you unto vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17.
אֹמְרִים אָמוֹר, לִמְנַאֲצַי, דִּבֶּר יְהוָה, שָׁלוֹם יִהְיֶה לָכֶם; וְכֹל הֹלֵךְ בִּשְׁרִרוּת לִבּוֹ, אָמְרוּ, לֹא-תָבוֹא עֲלֵיכֶם, רָעָה.
omrim amor, limna'atzay, diber YHWH, shalom yihyeh lakhem; vekhol holekh bishrirut libo, amru, lo-tavo ‘aleikhem, ra‘ah.
They say continually unto them that despise Me: 'The LORD hath said: Ye shall have peace'; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say: 'No evil shall come upon you';
18.
כִּי מִי עָמַד בְּסוֹד יְהוָה, וְיֵרֶא וְיִשְׁמַע אֶת-דְּבָרוֹ; מִי-הִקְשִׁיב דברי דְּבָרוֹ, וַיִּשְׁמָע.
ki mi ‘amad besod YHWH, veyere veyishma ‘et-devaro; mi-hiqshiv divro devaro, vayishma‘.
For who hath stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear His word? Who hath attended to His word, and heard it?
19.
הִנֵּה סַעֲרַת יְהוָה, חֵמָה יָצְאָה, וְסַעַר, מִתְחוֹלֵל; עַל רֹאשׁ רְשָׁעִים, יָחוּל.
Hinneh sa'arat YHWH, khemah yatz'ah, vesaar, mitkholel; al rosh resha'im, yakhul.
Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, yea, a whirling storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.
20.
לֹא יָשׁוּב אַף-יְהוָה, עַד-עֲשֹׂתוֹ וְעַד-הֲקִימוֹ מְזִמּוֹת לִבּוֹ; בְּאַחֲרִית, הַיָּמִים, תִּתְבּוֹנְנוּ בָהּ, בִּינָה.
Lo yashuv af-YHWH, ad-asoto ve'ad-hakimo mezimot libo; be'akharit, hayamim, titbonenu vah, binah.
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21.
לֹא-שָׁלַחְתִּי אֶת-הַנְּבִאִים, וְהֵם רָצוּ; לֹא-דִבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶם, וְהֵם נִבָּאוּ.
Lo-shalakhti et-hanevi'im, vehem ratzu; lo-dibarti aleihem, vehem nib'u.
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22.
וְאִם-עָמְדוּ, בְּסוֹדִי--וְיַשְׁמִעוּ דְבָרַי, אֶת-עַמִּי, וִישִׁבוּם מִדַּרְכָּם הָרָע, וּמֵרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם.
Ve'im-amdu, besodi--veyashmi'u devaray, et-ammi, veyishivum middarkam hara, umero'a ma'aleleihem.
But if they have stood in My council, then let them cause My people to hear My words, and turn them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23.
הַאֱלֹהֵי מִקָּרֹב אָנִי, נְאֻם-יְהוָה: וְלֹא אֱלֹהֵי, מֵרָחֹק.
Ha'Elohei mikarov ani, neum-YHWH: ve'lo elohei, merakhok.
Am I a God near at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24.
אִם-יִסָּתֵר אִישׁ בַּמִּסְתָּרִים וַאֲנִי לֹא-אֶרְאֶנּוּ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה: הֲלוֹא אֶת-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת-הָאָרֶץ אֲנִי מָלֵא, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
Im-yisater ish bamistarim va'ani lo-er'ennu, neum-YHWH: halo et-hashamayim ve'et-ha'aretz ani male, neum-YHWH.
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25.
שָׁמַעְתִּי, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-אָמְרוּ הַנְּבִאִים, הַנִּבְּאִים בִּשְׁמִי שֶׁקֶר, לֵאמֹר: חָלַמְתִּי, חָלָמְתִּי.
Shamati, et asher-amru hanevi'im, hanibe'im bishmi sheker, lemor: khalamti, khalamti.
I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying: 'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.'
26.
עַד-מָתַי, הֲיֵשׁ בְּלֵב הַנְּבִאִים--נִבְּאֵי הַשָּׁקֶר; וּנְבִיאֵי, תַּרְמִת לִבָּם.
Ad-matay, haysh belev hanevi'im--nibe'ei hashaker; unevi'ei, tarmit libam.
How long shall this be? Is it in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
27.
הַחֹשְׁבִים, לְהַשְׁכִּיחַ אֶת-עַמִּי שְׁמִי, בַּחֲלוֹמֹתָם, אֲשֶׁר יְסַפְּרוּ אִישׁ לְרֵעֵהוּ--כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁכְחוּ אֲבוֹתָם אֶת-שְׁמִי, בַּבָּעַל.
hakhoshvim, lehashkiakh et-ammi shmi, bakhalomotam, asher yesaperu ish lere'ehu--ka'asher shakhkhu avotam et-shmi, habba'al.
That think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
28.
הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ חֲלוֹם, יְסַפֵּר חֲלוֹם, וַאֲשֶׁר דְּבָרִי אִתּוֹ, יְדַבֵּר דְּבָרִי אֱמֶת: מַה-לַתֶּבֶן אֶת-הַבָּר, נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
hannavi asher-itto khalom, yesaper khalom, va'asher devari itto, yedaber devari emet: mah-latteven et-habbar, ne'um-YHWH.
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath My word; let him speak My word faithfully. What hath the straw to do with the wheat? saith the LORD.
29.
הֲלוֹא כֹה דְבָרִי כָּאֵשׁ, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וּכְפַטִּישׁ, יְפֹצֵץ סָלַע.
halo kho devari ka'esh, ne'um-YHWH; ukhfatish, yefotzet sela.
Is not My word like as fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30.
לָכֵן הִנְנִי עַל-הַנְּבִאִים, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, מְגַנְּבֵי דְבָרַי, אִישׁ מֵאֵת רֵעֵהוּ.
laken hinnini al-hannevi'im, ne'um-YHWH, megannevei devaray, ish me'et re'ehu.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal My words every one from his neighbour.
31.
הִנְנִי עַל-הַנְּבִיאִם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, הַלֹּקְחִים לְשׁוֹנָם, וַיִּנְאֲמוּ נְאֻם.
hinneni al-hanevi'im, ne'um-YHWH, hallokhim leshonam, vayyine'umu ne'um.
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues and say: 'He saith.'
32.
הִנְנִי עַל-נִבְּאֵי חֲלֹמוֹת שֶׁקֶר, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, וַיְסַפְּרוּם וַיַּתְעוּ אֶת-עַמִּי, בְּשִׁקְרֵיהֶם וּבְפַחֲזוּתָם; וְאָנֹכִי לֹא-שְׁלַחְתִּים וְלֹא צִוִּיתִים, וְהוֹעֵיל לֹא-יוֹעִילוּ לָעָם-הַזֶּה--נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
hinneni al-nibbe'ei khalomot sheker, ne'um-YHWH, vayyaseppurum vayyat'u et-ammi, beshiqreihem uvehfakhuzutam; ve'anokhi lo-shelakhtim velo tzivitim, veho'eil lo-yo'ilu la'am-hazzeh--ne'um-YHWH.
Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their wantonness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither can they profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
33.
וְכִי-יִשְׁאָלְךָ הָעָם הַזֶּה אוֹ-הַנָּבִיא אוֹ-כֹהֵן, לֵאמֹר, מַה-מַּשָּׂא, יְהוָה--וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת-מַה-מַּשָּׂא, וְנָטַשְׁתִּי אֶתְכֶם נְאֻם-יְהוָה.
vekhi-yish'alkha ha'am hazzeh o-hannavi o-kohen, lemor, mah-massa, YHWH--ve'amarta aleihem et-mah-massa, venatashti etkhem ne'um-YHWH.
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying: 'What is the burden of the LORD?' then shalt thou say unto them: 'What burden! I will cast you off, saith the LORD.'
34.
וְהַנָּבִיא וְהַכֹּהֵן וְהָעָם, אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר מַשָּׂא יְהוָה--וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל-הָאִישׁ הַהוּא, וְעַל-בֵּיתוֹ.
vehannavi vehakkohen veha'am, asher yomar massa YHWH--ufaqadti al-ha'ish hahu, ve'al-beito.
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say: 'The burden of the LORD', I will even punish that man and his house.
35.
כֹּה תֹאמְרוּ אִישׁ עַל-רֵעֵהוּ, וְאִישׁ אֶל-אָחִיו: מֶה-עָנָה יְהוָה, וּמַה-דִּבֶּר יְהוָה.
koh to'mru ish al-re'ehu, ve'ish el-achiv: meh-'anah YHWH, umah-dibber YHWH.
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother: 'What hath the LORD answered?' and: 'What hath the LORD spoken?'
36.
וּמַשָּׂא יְהוָה, לֹא תִזְכְּרוּ-עוֹד: כִּי הַמַּשָּׂא, יִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ דְּבָרוֹ, וַהֲפַכְתֶּם אֶת-דִּבְרֵי אֱלֹהִים חַיִּים, יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ.
umassa YHWH, lo tizkeru-'od: ki hammassa, yihyeh le'ish devaro, vahafaktem et-divrei Elohim chayyim, YHWH tseva'ot Eloheinu.
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden; and would ye pervert the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God?
37.
כֹּה תֹאמַר, אֶל-הַנָּבִיא: מֶה-עָנָךְ יְהוָה, וּמַה-דִּבֶּר יְהוָה.
koh to'mar, el-hannavi: meh-'anakh YHWH, umah-dibber YHWH.
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: 'What hath the LORD answered thee?' and: 'What hath the LORD spoken?'
38.
וְאִם-מַשָּׂא יְהוָה, תֹּאמֵרוּ, לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, יַעַן אֲמָרְכֶם אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה מַשָּׂא יְהוָה--וָאֶשְׁלַח אֲלֵיכֶם לֵאמֹר, לֹא תֹאמְרוּ מַשָּׂא יְהוָה.
ve'im-massa YHWH, to'meru, lakhen koh amar YHWH, ya'an amarkhem et-haddavar hazzeh massa YHWH--va'eshlach aleikhem lemor, lo to'mru massa YHWH.
But if ye say: 'The burden of the LORD'; therefore thus saith the LORD: Because ye say this word: 'The burden of the LORD', and I have sent unto you, saying: 'Ye shall not say: The burden of the LORD';
39.
לָכֵן הִנְנִי, וְנָשִׁיתִי אֶתְכֶם נָשֹׁא; וְנָטַשְׁתִּי אֶתְכֶם, וְאֶת-הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לָכֶם וְלַאֲבוֹתֵיכֶם--מֵעַל פָּנָי.
lakhen hinnini, venashiti etkhem nasho; venatashtiti etkhem, ve'et-ha'ir asher natati lakhem vela'avoteikhem--me'al panay.
therefore, behold, I will utterly tear you out, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from My presence;
40.
וְנָתַתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם, חֶרְפַּת עוֹלָם, וּכְלִמּוּת עוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִשָּׁכֵחַ.
venatati aleikhem, kherpat olam, ukhlimmut olam, asher lo tishakhekhah.
and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
