1At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD: 1בְּרֵאשִׁ֗ית מַמְלְכ֛וּת יְהוֹיָקִ֥ים בֶּן־ יֹאשִׁיָּ֖הוּ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה הָיָה֙ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה מֵאֵ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃
2“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the LORD’s house and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word. 2כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה עֲמֹד֮ בַּחֲצַ֣ר בֵּית־ יְהוָה֒ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֞ עַל־ כָּל־ עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה הַבָּאִים֙ לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֣ת בֵּית־ יְהוָ֔ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־ הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּיתִ֖יךָ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם אַל־ תִּגְרַ֖ע דָּבָֽר׃
3Perhaps they will listen and turn— each from his evil way of life— so that I may relent of the disaster that I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds. 3אוּלַ֣י יִשְׁמְע֔וּ וְיָשֻׁ֕בוּ אִ֖ישׁ מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ הָרָעָ֑ה וְנִחַמְתִּ֣י אֶל־ הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָנֹכִ֤י חֹשֵׁב֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לָהֶ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י רֹ֥עַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃
4And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I set before you, 4וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אִם־ לֹ֤א תִשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֵלַ֔י לָלֶ֙כֶת֙ בְּת֣וֹרָתִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃
5and [if you do not] listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen, 5לִשְׁמֹ֗עַ עַל־ דִּבְרֵ֨י עֲבָדַ֣י הַנְּבִאִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י שֹׁלֵ֣חַ אֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וְהַשְׁכֵּ֥ם וְשָׁלֹ֖חַ וְלֹ֥א שְׁמַעְתֶּֽם׃
6then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.” 6וְנָתַתִּ֛י אֶת־ הַבַּ֥יִת הַזֶּ֖ה כְּשִׁלֹ֑ה וְאֶת־ הָעִ֤יר [הזאתה] (הַזֹּאת֙) אֶתֵּ֣ן לִקְלָלָ֔ה לְכֹ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ ס
7The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD, 7וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֛וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֥ים וְהַנְּבִאִ֖ים וְכָל־ הָעָ֑ם אֶֽת־ יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ מְדַבֵּ֛ר אֶת־ הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה בְּבֵ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
8and as soon as [he] had finished telling all the people what the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die! 8וַיְהִ֣י ׀ כְּכַלּ֣וֹת יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ לְדַבֵּר֙ אֵ֣ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה לְדַבֵּ֖ר אֶל־ כָּל־ הָעָ֑ם וַיִּתְפְּשׂ֨וּ אֹת֜וֹ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַנְּבִאִ֛ים וְכָל־ הָעָ֥ם לֵאמֹ֖ר מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת׃
9How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 9מַדּוּעַ֩ נִבֵּ֨יתָ בְשֵׁם־ יְהוָ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר כְּשִׁלוֹ֙ יִֽהְיֶה֙ הַבַּ֣יִת הַזֶּ֔ה וְהָעִ֥יר הַזֹּ֛את תֶּחֱרַ֖ב מֵאֵ֣ין יוֹשֵׁ֑ב וַיִּקָּהֵ֧ל כָּל־ הָעָ֛ם אֶֽל־ יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ בְּבֵ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
10When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat at the entrance of the New Gate of the LORD’s [house]. 10וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ ׀ שָׂרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה אֵ֚ת הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיַּעֲל֥וּ מִבֵּית־ הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּֽשְׁב֛וּ בְּפֶ֥תַח שַֽׁעַר־ יְהוָ֖ה הֶחָדָֽשׁ׃ ס
11Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man [is] worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!” 11וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֤ים וְהַנְּבִאִים֙ אֶל־ הַשָּׂרִ֔ים וְאֶל־ כָּל־ הָעָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר מִשְׁפַּט־ מָ֙וֶת֙ לָאִ֣ישׁ הַזֶּ֔ה כִּ֤י נִבָּא֙ אֶל־ הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר שְׁמַעְתֶּ֖ם בְּאָזְנֵיכֶֽם׃
12And Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard. 12וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־ כָּל־ הַשָּׂרִ֔ים וְאֶל־ כָּל־ הָעָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה שְׁלָחַ֗נִי לְהִנָּבֵ֞א אֶל־ הַבַּ֤יִת הַזֶּה֙ וְאֶל־ הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֔את אֵ֥ת כָּל־ הַדְּבָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר שְׁמַעְתֶּֽם׃
13So now, correct your ways and deeds and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster that He has pronounced against you. 13וְעַתָּ֗ה הֵיטִ֤יבוּ דַרְכֵיכֶם֙ וּמַ֣עַלְלֵיכֶ֔ם וְשִׁמְע֕וּ בְּק֖וֹל יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם וְיִנָּחֵ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־ הָ֣רָעָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֶּ֖ר עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
14As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right. 14וַאֲנִ֖י הִנְנִ֣י בְיֶדְכֶ֑ם עֲשׂוּ־ לִ֛י כַּטּ֥וֹב וְכַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵיכֶֽם׃
15But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, on this city, and on its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.” 15אַ֣ךְ ׀ יָדֹ֣עַ תֵּדְע֗וּ כִּ֣י אִם־ מְמִתִ֣ים אַתֶּם֮ אֹתִי֒ כִּי־ דָ֣ם נָקִ֗י אַתֶּם֙ נֹתְנִ֣ים עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם וְאֶל־ הָעִ֥יר הַזֹּ֖את וְאֶל־ יֹשְׁבֶ֑יהָ כִּ֣י בֶאֱמֶ֗ת שְׁלָחַ֤נִי יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵיכֶ֔ם לְדַבֵּר֙ בְּאָזְנֵיכֶ֔ם אֵ֥ת כָּל־ הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃ ס
16Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man [is] not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!” 16וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ הַשָּׂרִים֙ וְכָל־ הָעָ֔ם אֶל־ הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים וְאֶל־ הַנְּבִיאִ֑ים אֵין־ לָאִ֤ישׁ הַזֶּה֙ מִשְׁפַּט־ מָ֔וֶת כִּ֗י בְּשֵׁ֛ם יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ דִּבֶּ֥ר אֵלֵֽינוּ׃
17Some of the elders of the land stood up and said to the whole assembly of the people, 17וַיָּקֻ֣מוּ אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִזִּקְנֵ֖י הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֶל־ כָּל־ קְהַ֥ל הָעָ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר׃
18“Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’ 18[מיכיה] (מִיכָה֙) הַמּ֣וֹרַשְׁתִּ֔י הָיָ֣ה נִבָּ֔א בִּימֵ֖י חִזְקִיָּ֣הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל־ כָּל־ עַם֩ יְהוּדָ֨ה לֵאמֹ֜ר כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֣ר ׀ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֗וֹת צִיּ֞וֹן שָׂדֶ֤ה תֵֽחָרֵשׁ֙ וִירוּשָׁלַ֙יִם֙ עִיִּ֣ים תִּֽהְיֶ֔ה וְהַ֥ר הַבַּ֖יִת לְבָמ֥וֹת יָֽעַר׃
19Did Hezekiah king of Judah [or] anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did [Hezekiah] not fear the LORD and seek [His] favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!” 19הֶהָמֵ֣ת הֱ֠מִתֻהוּ חִזְקִיָּ֨הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־ יְהוּדָ֜ה וְכָל־ יְהוּדָ֗ה הֲלֹא֮ יָרֵ֣א אֶת־ יְהוָה֒ וַיְחַל֙ אֶת־ פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־ הָרָעָ֖ה אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבֶּ֣ר עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַאֲנַ֗חְנוּ עֹשִׂ֛ים רָעָ֥ה גְדוֹלָ֖ה עַל־ נַפְשׁוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
20Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like all those of Jeremiah. 20וְגַם־ אִ֗ישׁ הָיָ֤ה מִתְנַבֵּא֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה אֽוּרִיָּ֙הוּ֙ בֶּֽן־ שְׁמַעְיָ֔הוּ מִקִּרְיַ֖ת הַיְּעָרִ֑ים וַיִּנָּבֵ֞א עַל־ הָעִ֤יר הַזֹּאת֙ וְעַל־ הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֔את כְּכֹ֖ל דִּבְרֵ֥י יִרְמְיָֽהוּ׃
21King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt. 21וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע הַמֶּֽלֶךְ־ יְ֠הוֹיָקִים וְכָל־ גִּבּוֹרָ֤יו וְכָל־ הַשָּׂרִים֙ אֶת־ דְּבָרָ֔יו וַיְבַקֵּ֥שׁ הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ הֲמִית֑וֹ וַיִּשְׁמַ֤ע אוּרִיָּ֙הוּ֙ וַיִּרָ֔א וַיִּבְרַ֖ח וַיָּבֹ֥א מִצְרָֽיִם׃
22Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men. 22וַיִּשְׁלַ֞ח הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ יְהוֹיָקִ֛ים אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מִצְרָ֑יִם אֵ֣ת אֶלְנָתָ֧ן בֶּן־ עַכְבּ֛וֹר וַאֲנָשִׁ֥ים אִתּ֖וֹ אֶל־ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
23They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who struck him down with the sword and threw his body into the burial place of the common people. 23וַיּוֹצִ֨יאוּ אֶת־ אוּרִיָּ֜הוּ מִמִּצְרַ֗יִם וַיְבִאֻ֙הוּ֙ אֶל־ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ יְהוֹיָקִ֔ים וַיַּכֵּ֖הוּ בֶּחָ֑רֶב וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ֙ אֶת־ נִבְלָת֔וֹ אֶל־ קִבְרֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י הָעָֽם׃
24Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death. 24אַ֗ךְ יַ֚ד אֲחִיקָ֣ם בֶּן־ שָׁפָ֔ן הָיְתָ֖ה אֶֽת־ יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ לְבִלְתִּ֛י תֵּת־ אֹת֥וֹ בְיַד־ הָעָ֖ם לַהֲמִיתֽוֹ׃ פ
