Jeremiah 20

1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

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 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

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 saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold [it: ] and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

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 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry 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 thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast 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 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

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 since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

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 not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].

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 heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, [saying], Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge 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 [is] with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion 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 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, [and] seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened 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 unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

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: let not the day wherein my mother bare me 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 tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

[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 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

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 slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb [to be] 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 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with 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.
