< Jeremiah 44 >
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
The word which it came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes and in Memphis and in [the] land of Pathros saying.
2 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you you have seen all the calamity which I brought on Jerusalem and on all [the] cities of Judah and there! they [are] a ruin the day this and there not in them [is] an inhabitant.
3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they did not know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
Because of wickedness their which they did to provoke to anger me by going to make smoke to serve gods other which not they had known them they you and ancestors your.
4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.”
And I sent to you all servants my the prophets rising early and sending saying may not please you do [the] thing of abomination this which I hate.
5 But they did not listen and did not incline their ear. They did not turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.
And not they listened and not they inclined ear their to turn away from wickedness their to not to make smoke to gods other.
6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’
And it poured forth rage my and anger my and it burned in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and they became a ruin a desolation as the day this.
7 “Therefore now the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,
And therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel why? [are] you doing harm great to selves your to cut off to yourselves man and woman child and suckling-child from [the] midst of Judah to not to leave for yourselves a remnant.
8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
By provoking to anger me by [the] deeds of hands your by making smoke to gods other in [the] land of Egypt where you [have] come to sojourn there so as to cut off to yourselves and so as to become you a curse and a reproach among all [the] nations of the earth.
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
¿ Have you forgotten [the] wicked deeds of ancestors your and [the] wicked deeds of - [the] kings of Judah and [the] wicked deeds of wives his and wicked deeds your and [the] wicked deeds of wives your which they did in [the] land of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’
Not they have been made contrite until the day this and not they have feared and not they have walked in law my and in decrees my which I set before you and before ancestors your.
11 “Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to set face my on you for harm and to cut off all Judah.
12 I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.
And I will take away [the] remnant of Judah who they set faces their to go [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there and they will meet their end everyone in [the] land of Egypt they will fall by the sword by famine they will meet their end from [the] small and unto [the] great by the sword and by famine they will die and they will become an curse a horror and a curse and a reproach.
13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
And I will visit [judgment] on those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt just as I visited [judgment] on Jerusalem by the sword by famine and by pestilence.
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”
And not he will belong an escapee and a survivor to [the] remnant of Judah who went to sojourn there in [the] land of Egypt and to return - [the] land of Judah where they [are] lifting up desire their to return to dwell there for not they will return that except fugitives.
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
And they answered Jeremiah all the men who knew that [were] making smoke wives their to gods other and all the women who were standing by a company great and all the people who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt in Pathros saying.
16 “As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you.
The word which you have spoken to us in [the] name of Yahweh not we [are] about to listen to you.
17 But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
For certainly we will do every thing - which it has gone out from mouth our to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings just as we have done we and ancestors our kings our and officials our in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and we were satisfied food and we were good and distress not we saw.
18 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”
And from then we ceased to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings we have lacked everything and by the sword and by the famine we have met our end.
19 The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
And if we [were] making smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings ¿ without husbands our did we make for her cakes to form image her and to pour out to her drink offerings.
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
And he said Jeremiah to all the people to the men and to the women and to all the people who had answered him a word saying.
21 “The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and did not it come into his mind?
¿ Not the incense which you made smoke in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem you and ancestors your kings your and officials your and [the] people of the land them did he remember Yahweh and did it come up on heart his.
22 Thus the LORD could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation, an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.
And not he was able Yahweh still to endure because of [the] wickedness of deeds your because of the abominations which you did and it has become land your a desolation and a waste and a curse from not inhabitant as the day this.
23 Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is today.”
Because that you made smoke and that you had sinned to Yahweh and not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and in law his and in decrees his and in testimonies his not you walked there-fore it has happened to you the calamity this as the day this.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt!
And he said Jeremiah to all the people and to all the women hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah which [is] in [the] land of Egypt.
25 The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, “We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her.” “‘Establish then your vows, and perform your vows.’
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel saying you and wives your and you have spoken with mouth your and with hands your you have fulfilled - saying certainly we will perform vows our which we have vowed to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings certainly you will carry out vows your and certainly you will perform vows your.
26 “Therefore hear the LORD’s word, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: ‘Behold, I have sworn by my great name,’ says the LORD, ‘that my name will no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”
Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who are dwelling in [the] land of Egypt here I I swear by own name my great he says Yahweh if it will be again name my named - by [the] mouth of - any person of Judah [who] says [by] [the] life of [the] Lord Yahweh in all [the] land of Egypt.
27 Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
Here I [am] watching over them for harm and not for good and they will meet their end every person of Judah who [is] in [the] land of Egypt by the sword and by famine until come to an end they.
28 Those who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number. All the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.
And escapees of [the] sword they will return! from [the] land of Egypt [the] land of Judah men of number and they will know all [the] remnant of Judah who went to [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there [the] word of whom? will it be established from me and from them.
29 “‘This will be the sign to you,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for evil.’
And this for you [will be] the sign [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] about to visit [judgment] I on you in the place this so that you may know that certainly they will be established words my on you for harm.
30 The LORD says, ‘Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.’”
Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give Pharaoh Hophra [the] king of Egypt in [the] hand of enemies his and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life his just as I gave Zedekiah [the] king of Judah in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon enemy his and [one who] sought life his.
