Jeremiah 42

1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,

And they approached all [the] commanders of the armies and Johanan [the] son of Kareah and Jezaniah [the] son of Hoshaiah and all the people from [the] small and unto [the] great.

2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,

And they said to Jeremiah the prophet may it fall please supplication our before you and pray for us to Yahweh God your for all the remnant this for we are left a few from many just as eyes your [are] seeing us.

3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”

So he may declare to us Yahweh God your the way which we will go in it and the thing which we will do.

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”

And he said to them Jeremiah the prophet I have heard here I [am] about to pray to Yahweh God your according to words your and it will be every word which he will answer Yahweh you I will tell to you not I will withhold from you a word.

5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to tell us.

And they they said to Jeremiah may he become Yahweh on us a witness of truth and faithful if not according to every word which he will send you Yahweh God your to us so we will do.

6 Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”

Whether good and or bad to [the] voice of - Yahweh God our whom (we *Q(K)*) [are] sending you to him we will listen so that this it may go well for us for we will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God our.

7 After ten days, the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah.

And it was from [the] end of ten days and it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah.

8 Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

And he summoned Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies who [were] with him and all the people from [the] small and unto [the] great.

9 and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:

And he said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom you sent me to him to make fall supplication your before him.

10 ‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.

Certainly [if] you will remain in the land this and I will build up you and not I will tear [you] down and I will plant you and not I will pluck [you] up for I am grieved concerning the harm which I have done to you.

11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

May not you be afraid of [the] king of Babylon whom you [are] afraid of him may not you be afraid from him [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] with you I to save you and to deliver you from hand his.

12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.

So I may give to you compassion and he will have compassion on you and he will restore you to land your.

13 “‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you do not obey the LORD your God’s voice,

And if [are] saying you not we will remain in the land this to not to listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.

14 saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’

Saying In-deed [the] land of Egypt we will go where not we will see warfare and [the] sound of a trumpet not we will hear and for bread not we will be hungry and there we will dwell.

15 now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,

And now therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O remnant of Judah thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel if you really you will set! faces your to go Egypt and you will go to sojourn there.

16 then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.

And it will be the sword which you [are] afraid from it there it will overtake you in [the] land of Egypt and the famine which you - [are] anxious from it there it will pursue closely behind you Egypt and there you will die.

17 So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’

And they may be all the people who they have set faces their to go Egypt to sojourn there they will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and not he will belong to them a survivor and an escapee from before the calamity which I [will] bring on them.

18 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’

For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel just as it was poured out anger my and rage my on [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem so it will pour out rage my on you when go you Egypt and you will become an curse and a horror and a curse and a reproach and not you will see again the place this.

19 “The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.

He has spoken Yahweh to you O remnant of Judah may not you go Egypt assuredly you will know that I have warned you this day.

20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’

For (you caused to err *Q(K)*) selves your for you you sent me to Yahweh God your saying pray for us to Yahweh God our and according to all that he will say Yahweh God our so tell to us and we will do [it].

21 I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.

And I have told to you this day and not you have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God your and to all that he sent me to you.

22 Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”

And therefore assuredly you will know that by the sword by famine and by pestilence you will die in the place where you desire to go to sojourn there.
