Jeremias 20

1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.

And he heard Pashhur [the] son of Immer the priest and he [was] an officer a chief in [the] house of Yahweh Jeremiah prophesying the words these.

2 And he struck him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.

And he struck Pashhur Jeremiah the prophet and he put him on the stock[s] which [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin upper which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh.

3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon: and Jeremias said to him, [The Lord] has not called your name Paschor, but Exile.

And it was from [the] next day and he brought out Pashhur Jeremiah from the stock[s] and he said to him Jeremiah not Pashhur he has called Yahweh name your that except Terror from around.

4 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] give you up to captivity with all your friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see [it]: and I will give you and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.

For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to make you into a terror to yourself and to all friends your and they will fall by [the] sword of enemies their and eyes your [will be] looking and all Judah I will give in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will take into exile them Babylon towards and he will strike down them with the sword.

5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.

And I will give all [the] wealth of the city this and all property its and every precious thing its and all [the] treasures of [the] kings of Judah I will give in [the] hand of enemies their and they will plunder them and they will take them and they will bring them Babylon towards.

6 And you and all the dwellers in your house shall go into captivity: and you shall die in Babylon, and there you and all your friends shall be buried, to whom you have prophesied lies.

And you O Pashhur and all [those who] dwell of house your you will go in captivity and Babylon you will go and there you will die and there you will be buried you and all friends your whom you prophesied to them with falsehood.

7 You have deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived: you have been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing stock, I am continually mocked every day.

You deceived me O Yahweh and I was deceived you prevailed over me and you prevailed I have become a laughing stock all the day all of it [is] mocking me.

8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call upon rebellion and misery: for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.

For as often as I speak I cry out violence and havoc I proclaim for it has become [the] word of Yahweh for me a reproach and derision all the day.

9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and can’t bear [up].

And I will say not I will remember him and not I will speak again in name his and it will become in heart my like a fire burning shut up in bones my and I will be weary to hold [it] in and not I will be able.

10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, [saying], Conspire you, and let us conspire together against him, [even] all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.

For I have heard [the] whispering of many [people] terror [is] from round about tell and let us tell about him every person of peace my [are] [the] watchers of stumbling my perhaps he will be deceived and we will prevail to him and we will take vengeance our from him.

11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war: therefore they persecuted [me], but could not perceive [anything against me]; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.

And Yahweh [is] with me like a warrior ruthless there-fore persecutors my they will stumble and not they will prevail they will be ashamed exceedingly for not they will succeed ignominy of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.

12 O Lord, that prove just [deeds], understanding the reins and hearts, let me see your vengeance upon them: for to you I have revealed my cause.

And O Yahweh of hosts [who] tests [the] righteous [who] sees kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.

13 Sing you to the Lord, sing praise to him: for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.

Sing to Yahweh praise Yahweh for he has delivered [the] life of [the] needy from [the] hand of evil-doers.

14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.

[is] cursed The day when I was born on it [the] day when she bore me mother my may not it be blessed.

15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to you.

[be] cursed The person who he bore [the] news father my saying he has been born to you a son a male surely he made rejoice him.

16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;

And he will be the person that like the cities which he overthrew Yahweh and not he had compassion and he will hear a cry of distress in the morning and a shout of alarm at [the] time of noon.

17 because he killed me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.

That not he killed me from [the] womb and she became for me mother my grave my and womb her [was] pregnant of perpetuity.

18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?

Why? this from [the] womb did I come forth to see trouble and sorrow and they have come to an end in shame days my.
