Jeremiah 16

1 A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 Don't marry or have children here.

Not you must take for yourself a wife and not they will belong to you sons and daughters in the place this.

3 This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:

For thus - he says Yahweh on the sons and on the daughters born in the place this and on mothers their who bore them and on fathers their who fathered them in the land this.

4 They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.

Deaths of diseases they will die not they will be mourned and not they will be buried dung on [the] surface of the ground they will become and by the sword and by famine they will come to an end and it will become corpse[s] their food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth.

5 This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.

For thus - he says Yahweh may not you enter a house of mourning and may not you go to lament and may not you show sympathy to them for I have withdrawn peace my from with the people this [the] utterance of Yahweh the covenant loyalty and compassion.

6 Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.

And they will die great [people] and insignificant [people] in the land this not they will be buried and not people will mourn for them and not anyone will cut himself and not anyone will make himself bald for them.

7 No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.

And not people will break for them on mourning to comfort him on a dead [person] and not people will give to drink them a cup of consolations on father his and on mother his.

8 Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.

And a house of a feast not you must go to sit with them to eat and to drink.

9 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.

For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to cause to cease from the place this to eyes your and in days your [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride.

10 When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”

And it will be that you will tell to the people this all the words these and they will say to you concerning what? has he spoken Yahweh on us all the calamity great this and what? [is] iniquity our and what? [is] sin our which we have sinned to Yahweh God our.

11 Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.

And you will say to them on that they forsook ancestors your me [the] utterance of Yahweh and they walked after gods other and they served them and they bowed down to them and me they forsook and law my not they kept.

12 You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.

And you you have done evil to act more than ancestors your and here you [are] walking everyone after [the] stubbornness of own heart his wicked to not to listen to me.

13 So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.

And I will throw out you from on the land this to the land which not you have known you and ancestors your and you will serve there gods other by day and night that not I will give to you favor.

14 But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt.

15 Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.

That except [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from a land of [the] north and from all the lands where he had banished them there towards and I will bring back them to land their which I gave to ancestors their.

16 But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.

Here I [am] about to send (for fishermen *Q(K)*) many [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will fish out them and after thus I will send for many hunters and they will hunt them from on every mountain and from on every hill and from [the] clefts of the rocks.

17 I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.

For eyes my [are] on all ways their not they have been hidden from to before me and not it has been concealed iniquity their from before eyes my.

18 First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.

And I will repay first [the] double of iniquity their and sin their because have profaned they land my with [the] corpse[s] of detestable things their and abominations their they have filled inheritance my.

19 Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.

O Yahweh strength my and stronghold my and place of escape my in a day of trouble to you nations they will come from [the] ends of [the] earth so they may say surely falsehood they possessed ancestors our futility and not [there was] in them a [thing that] profits.

20 How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”

¿ Will he make for himself anyone gods and they not [are] God.

21 Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!

Therefore here I [am] about to make know them at the time this I will make know them hand my and might my and they will know that name my [is] Yahweh.
