וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁפַטְיָה בֶן-מַתָּן, וּגְדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-פַּשְׁחוּר, וְיוּכַל בֶּן-שֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ, וּפַשְׁחוּר בֶּן-מַלְכִּיָּה: אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים--אֲשֶׁר יִרְמְיָהוּ מְדַבֵּר אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם, לֵאמֹר.

vayshma shfatyah ven-mattah, ugdalyahu ben-pashkhur, veyukhal ben-shelmeyahu, ufashkhur ben-malkiyah: et-hadevarim--asher yirmeyahu medaber el-kol-ha'am, lemor.

And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke unto all the people, saying:

כֹּה, אָמַר יְהוָה, הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת, יָמוּת בַּחֶרֶב בָּרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר; וְהַיֹּצֵא אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים יחיה וְחָיָה, וְהָיְתָה-לּוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ לְשָׁלָל וָחָי.

koh, amar YHWH, hayoshev ba'ir hazot, yamut ba-kherev ba-ra'av uva-daver; vehayotze el-hakashdim yihyeh vechayah, vehaytah-lo nafsho leshalal vakhay.

'Thus saith the LORD: He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.

כֹּה, אָמַר יְהוָה: הִנָּתֹן תִּנָּתֵן הָעִיר הַזֹּאת, בְּיַד חֵיל מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל--וּלְכָדָהּ.

koh, amar YHWH: hinnaton tinnaten ha'ir hazot, beyad kheil melekh-vavel--ulexadah.

Thus saith the LORD: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.'

וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַשָּׂרִים אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ, יוּמַת נָא אֶת-הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה--כִּי-עַל-כֵּן הוּא-מְרַפֵּא אֶת-יְדֵי אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאֵת יְדֵי כָל-הָעָם, לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה: כִּי הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה, אֵינֶנּוּ דֹרֵשׁ לְשָׁלוֹם לָעָם הַזֶּה--כִּי אִם-לְרָעָה.

vayomeru hasharim el-hamelekh, yumat na et-ha'ish hazeh--ki-al-ken hu-merape et-yede anshei hamilkhama hanish'arim ba'ir hazot ve'et yede khol-ha'am, ledaber alehem kadevarim ha'eleh: ki ha'ish hazeh, einennu doresh leshalom la'am hazeh--ki im-lera'ה.

Then the princes said unto the king: 'Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.'

וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ, הִנֵּה-הוּא בְּיֶדְכֶם: כִּי-אֵין הַמֶּלֶךְ, יוּכַל אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר.

vayomer hamelekh tzidkiyahu, hineh-hu beyedkhem: ki-ein hamelekh, yukhal etkhem davar.

Then Zedekiah the king said: 'Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.'

וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ, וַיַּשְׁלִכוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-הַבּוֹר מַלְכִּיָּהוּ בֶן-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה, וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ, בַּחֲבָלִים; וּבַבּוֹר אֵין-מַיִם כִּי אִם-טִיט, וַיִּטְבַּע יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּטִּיט.

vayikhu et-yirmeyahu, vayashlikhu oto el-habor malkiyahu ven-hamelekh asher bakhatzar hamatara, vayshal-khu et-yirmeyahu, bakhavalim; uvabor ein-mayim ki im-tit, vayitba yirmeyahu batit.

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard; and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the pit there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

וַיִּשְׁמַע עֶבֶד-מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי אִישׁ סָרִיס, וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַמֶּלֶךְ, כִּי-נָתְנוּ אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ, אֶל-הַבּוֹר; וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יוֹשֵׁב, בְּשַׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן.

vayishma eved-melekh hakushi ish saris, vehu beveit hamelekh, ki-natnu et-yirmeyahu, el-habor; vehamelekh yoshev, beshaar binyamin.

Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an officer, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

וַיֵּצֵא עֶבֶד-מֶלֶךְ, מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ; וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ, לֵאמֹר.

vayyetzeh eved-melekh, mibbeit hamlekh; vayyedabber el-hamlekh, lemor.

Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying:

אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ, הֵרֵעוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לְיִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הִשְׁלִיכוּ, אֶל-הַבּוֹר; וַיָּמָת תַּחְתָּיו מִפְּנֵי הָרָעָב, כִּי אֵין הַלֶּחֶם עוֹד בָּעִיר.

Adonai hamlekh, here'u ha'anashim ha'elleh et kol-asher asu liyirmiyahu hannavi, et asher-hishlikhu, el-habbor; vayyamamat takhtav mippenei hara'av, ki ein hallekhem od ba'ir.

'My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he is like to die in the place where he is because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.'

10.

וַיְצַוֶּה הַמֶּלֶךְ, אֵת עֶבֶד-מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי לֵאמֹר: קַח בְּיָדְךָ מִזֶּה, שְׁלֹשִׁים אֲנָשִׁים, וְהַעֲלִיתָ אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא מִן-הַבּוֹר, בְּטֶרֶם יָמוּת.

vaytzavveh hamlekh, et eved-melekh hakkushi lemor: kakh beyadkha mizzeh, sheloshim anashim, veha'alita et-yirmiyahu hannavi min-habbor, beterem yamut.

Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying: 'Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.'

11.

וַיִּקַּח עֶבֶד-מֶלֶךְ אֶת-הָאֲנָשִׁים בְּיָדוֹ, וַיָּבֹא בֵית-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-תַּחַת הָאוֹצָר, וַיִּקַּח מִשָּׁם בְּלוֹיֵ הסחבות סְחָבוֹת, וּבְלוֹיֵ מְלָחִים; וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-הַבּוֹר, בַּחֲבָלִים.

vayyiqqakh eved-melekh et-ha'anashim beyado, vayyavo veit-hamlekh el-takhat ha'otzar, vayyiqqakh mishsham beloyei sekhavot, uveloyei melakhim; vayshallekhem el-yirmiyahu el-habbor, bakhavalim.

So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence worn clouts and worn rags, and let them down by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.

12.

וַיֹּאמֶר עֶבֶד-מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, שִׂים נָא בְּלוֹאֵי הַסְּחָבוֹת וְהַמְּלָחִים תַּחַת אַצִּלוֹת יָדֶיךָ, מִתַּחַת, לַחֲבָלִים; וַיַּעַשׂ יִרְמְיָהוּ, כֵּן.

vayomer eved-melekh hakushi el-yirmeyahu, sim na belo'ei hasechavot vehamelachim tachat atzilot yadeykha, mittachat, lachavalim; vaya'as yirmeyahu, ken.

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah: 'Put now these worn clouts and rags under thine armholes under the cords.' And Jeremiah did so.

13.

וַיִּמְשְׁכוּ אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲבָלִים, וַיַּעֲלוּ אֹתוֹ מִן-הַבּוֹר; וַיֵּשֶׁב יִרְמְיָהוּ, בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה.

vayimshuchu et-yirmeyahu bachavalim, vaya'alu oto min-habor; vayeshev yirmeyahu, vachatzar hamatarah.

So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the pit; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

14.

וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ, וַיִּקַּח אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֵלָיו, אֶל-מָבוֹא הַשְּׁלִישִׁי, אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית יְהוָה; וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, שֹׁאֵל אֲנִי אֹתְךָ דָּבָר--אַל-תְּכַחֵד מִמֶּנִּי, דָּבָר.

vayshilach hamelekh tzidkiyahu, vayikach et-yirmeyahu hanavi elav, el-mavo hashelishi, asher beveit YHWH; vayomer hamelekh el-yirmeyahu, sho'el ani otkha davar--al-tekhahed mimeni, davar.

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the LORD; and the king said unto Jeremiah: 'I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.'

15.

וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ, אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ, כִּי אַגִּיד לְךָ, הֲלוֹא הָמֵת תְּמִיתֵנִי; וְכִי, אִיעָצְךָ, לֹא תִשְׁמַע, אֵלָי.

vayomer yirmeyahu, el-tzidkiyahu, ki agid lekha, halo hamet temiteni; vekhi, i'atzkha, lo tishma, elay.

Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah: 'If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.'

16.

וַיִּשָּׁבַע הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ, אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ--בַּסֵּתֶר לֵאמֹר: חַי-יְהוָה את אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה-לָנוּ אֶת-הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַזֹּאת, אִם-אֲמִיתֶךָ, וְאִם-אֶתֶּנְךָ בְּיַד הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת-נַפְשֶׁךָ.

vayishava hamelekh tzidkiyahu el-yirmeyahu baseter lemor khay-YHWH et asher asah-lanu et-hanefesh hazot im-amitkha ve'im-etenkha beyad ha'anashim ha'eleh asher mevakshim et-nafshekha.

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.'

17.

וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אִם-יָצֹא תֵצֵא אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל וְחָיְתָה נַפְשֶׁךָ, וְהָעִיר הַזֹּאת, לֹא תִשָּׂרֵף בָּאֵשׁ; וְחָיִתָה, אַתָּה וּבֵיתֶךָ.

vayomer yirmeyahu el-tzidkiyahu koh-amar YHWH Elohei tzva'ot Elohei Yisrael im-yatzo tetze el-sarei melekh-bavel vekhaytah nafshekha vehair hazot lo tisaref ba'esh vekhayitah atah uveitekha.

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, thou, and thy house;

18.

וְאִם לֹא-תֵצֵא, אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל--וְנִתְּנָה הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים, וּשְׂרָפוּהָ בָּאֵשׁ; וְאַתָּה, לֹא-תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם.

ve'im lo-tetze el-sarei melekh bavel venitnah ha'air hazot beyad hakasdim userafuh ba'esh ve'atah lo-timalet miyadam.

but if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.'

19.

וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ, אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ: אֲנִי דֹאֵג אֶת-הַיְּהוּדִים, אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים--פֶּן-יִתְּנוּ אֹתִי בְּיָדָם, וְהִתְעַלְּלוּ-בִי.

vayomer hamelekh tzidkiyahu el-yirmeyahu ani do'eg et-hakehudim asher nafelu el-hakasdim pen-yitnu oti beyadam vehit'allu-vi.

And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah: 'I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.'

20.

וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ, לֹא יִתֵּנוּ; שְׁמַע-נָא בְּקוֹל יְהוָה, לַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי דֹּבֵר אֵלֶיךָ--וְיִיטַב לְךָ, וּתְחִי נַפְשֶׁךָ.

vayomer Yirmeyahu, lo yitenU; shema-na bekol YHWH, la'asher ani dover eleykha--veyitav lekha, utchi nafshekha.

But Jeremiah said: 'They shall not deliver thee. Hearken, I beseech thee, to the voice of the LORD, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.

21.

וְאִם-מָאֵן אַתָּה, לָצֵאת--זֶה הַדָּבָר, אֲשֶׁר הִרְאַנִי יְהוָה.

ve'im-ma'en atah, latzet--zeh hadavar, asher hir'ani YHWH.

But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shown me:

22.

וְהִנֵּה כָל-הַנָּשִׁים, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ בְּבֵית מֶלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה, מוּצָאוֹת, אֶל-שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל; וְהֵנָּה אֹמְרֹת, הִסִּיתוּךָ וְיָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ, הָטְבְּעוּ בַבֹּץ רַגְלֶךָ, נָסֹגוּ אָחוֹר.

vehineh khol-hanashim, asher nish'aru beveit melekh-Yehudah, mutza'ot, el-sarei melekh Bavel; vehhenah omerot, hisitukha veyakhalu lekha anshei shelomekha, hatbe'u vabot raglekha, nasogu akhor.

Behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say: Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee; thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

23.

וְאֶת-כָּל-נָשֶׁיךָ וְאֶת-בָּנֶיךָ, מוֹצִאִים אֶל-הַכַּשְׂדִּים, וְאַתָּה, לֹא-תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם: כִּי בְיַד מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל תִּתָּפֵשׂ, וְאֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת תִּשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ.

ve'et-kol-nashekha ve'et-banekha, motzi'im el-hakeshdim, ve'atah, lo-timalet miyadam: ki veyad melekh-Bavel titapesh, ve'et-ha'ir hazot tisrof ba'esh.

And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon; and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.'

24.

וַיֹּאמֶר צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, אִישׁ אַל-יֵדַע בַּדְּבָרִים-הָאֵלֶּה--וְלֹא תָמוּת.

vayomer tzidkiyahu el-yirmeyahu, ish al-yeda bad'varim-ha'eleh--velo tamut.

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: 'Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

25.

וְכִי-יִשְׁמְעוּ הַשָּׂרִים, כִּי-דִבַּרְתִּי אִתָּךְ, וּבָאוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְאָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ הַגִּידָה-נָּא לָנוּ מַה-דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אַל-תְּכַחֵד מִמֶּנּוּ, וְלֹא נְמִיתֶךָ; וּמַה-דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ, הַמֶּלֶךְ.

vekhi-yish'mu hassarim, ki-dibarti itakh, uva'u eleykha ve'amru eleykha hagidah-na lanu mah-dibarta el-hamelekh al-t'khached mimenu, velo n'mitekha; umah-diber eleykha, hamelekh.

But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee: Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee;

26.

וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם, מַפִּיל-אֲנִי תְחִנָּתִי לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ, לְבִלְתִּי הֲשִׁיבֵנִי בֵּית יְהוֹנָתָן, לָמוּת שָׁם.

ve'amarta aleihem, mapil-ani t'khinati lifnei hamelekh, l'vilti hashiveni beit yehonatan, lamut sham.

then thou shalt say unto them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.'

27.

וַיָּבֹאוּ כָל-הַשָּׂרִים אֶל-יִרְמְיָהוּ, וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתוֹ, וַיַּגֵּד לָהֶם כְּכָל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה הַמֶּלֶךְ; וַיַּחֲרִשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ, כִּי לֹא-נִשְׁמַע הַדָּבָר.

vayavo'u khol-hassarim el-yirmeyahu, vayish'alu oto, vayaged lahem k'khol-had'varim ha'eleh, asher tzivah hamelekh; vayakharishu mimenu, ki lo-nishma hadavar.

Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not reported.

28.

וַיֵּשֶׁב יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה, עַד-יוֹם אֲשֶׁר-נִלְכְּדָה יְרוּשָׁלִָם; וְהָיָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר נִלְכְּדָה יְרוּשָׁלִָם.

vayeshev Yirmeyahu bhatzar hamatarah, ad-yom asher-nilkedah Yerushalayim; vehayah, ka'asher nilkedah Yerushalayim.

So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass, when Jerusalem was taken--
