< Jeremias 22 >

1 Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
Thus he said Yahweh go down [the] house of [the] king of Judah and you will speak there the word this.
2 and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
And you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sits on [the] throne of David you and servants your and people your who come in the gates these.
3 thus says the Lord; Execute you judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Thus - he says Yahweh do justice and righteousness and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor and sojourner fatherless and widow may not you maltreat may not you treat violently and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this.
4 For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
That except certainly you will do the thing this and they will go in [the] gates of the house this kings [who] sit for David on throne his [who] ride in chariot[s] and on horses he (and servants his *Q(K)*) and people his.
5 But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
And if not you will listen to the words these by myself I swear [the] utterance of Yahweh that a ruin it will become the house this.
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
For thus - he says Yahweh on [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] Gilead you to me [the] top of Lebanon if not I will make you a wilderness cities [which] not (they are inhabited. *Q(K)*)
7 and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
And I will consecrate on you destroyers everyone and weapons his and they will cut down [the] choicest of cedars your and they will cast [them] on the fire.
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
And they will pass by nations many at the city this and they will say each to neighbor his concerning what? did he do Yahweh thus to the city great this.
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
And they will say on that they forsook [the] covenant of Yahweh God their and they bowed down to gods other and they served them.
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
May not you weep for [the] dead and may not you show sympathy to him weep continually for one [who] is about to go away for not he will return again and he will see [the] land of kindred his.
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
For thus he says Yahweh to Shallum [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah who is reigning in place of Josiah father his who he went forth from the place this not he will return there again.
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
For in [the] place where they took into exile him there he will die and the land this not he will see again.
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
Woe to! [one who] builds house his with not righteousness and upper rooms his with not justice by fellow-citizen his he works without paying and wage[s] his not he gives to him.
14 You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
The [one who] says I will build for myself a house of size and upper rooms spacious and he will tear for himself windows my and paneled with cedar and he will smear [it] with vermilion.
15 Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgment and justice.
¿ Are you king for you [are] competing in cedar father your ¿ not did he eat and did he drink? and did he do? justice and righteousness then it was well for him.
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
He defended [the] cause of [the] poor and [the] needy then was well ¿ not [is] that the knowledge me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
17 Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
That [are] not eyes your and heart your that except on unjust gain your and on [the] blood of the innocent [person] to shed [it] and on oppression and on extortion to do [it].
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh to Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah not people will mourn for him alas! O brother my and alas! O sister not people will mourn for him alas! O lord and alas! (splendor his. *Q(K)*)
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
[the] burial of A donkey he will be buried people will drag and people will throw out from beyond [the] gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
Go up Lebanon and cry out and in Bashan give forth voice your and cry out from Abarim for they have been broken all lovers your.
21 I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
I spoke to you in prosperity your you said not I will listen this [has been] way your since youth your that not you have listened to voice my.
22 The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
All shepherds your it will shepherd a wind and lovers your in captivity they will go for then you will be ashamed and you will be humiliated from all wickedness your.
23 O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
(O [you who] dwell *Q(K)*) in Lebanon ([who is] nested *Q(k)*) among the cedars how! you will groan when will come to you labor-pains anguish like [woman] giving birth.
24 [As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that except he will be Coniah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah a signet-ring on [the] hand of right my for from there I will pull off you.
25 and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
And I will give you in [the] hand of [those who] seek life your and in [the] hand of [those] whom you [are] fearful of them and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
26 And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
And I will throw out you and mother your who she bore you to the land another where not you were born there and there you will die.
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
And to the land where they [will be] lifting desire their to return there there towards not they will return.
28 Jechonias is dishonored as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
¿ A pot despised smashed [is] the man this Coniah or? a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it why? have they been thrown out he and offspring his and have they been thrown? to the land which not they knew.
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
O land O land O land hear [the] word of Yahweh.
30 Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
Thus - he says Yahweh record the man this childless a man [who] not he will prosper in days his for not he will prosper any of offspring his anyone [will be] sitting on [the] throne of David and ruling again over Judah.
