Jeremiah 13

1 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and you will put it on loins your and in water not you must cause to go it.

כֹּה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי הָלוֹךְ וְקָנִיתָ לְּךָ אֵזוֹר פִּשְׁתִּים וְשַׂמְתּוֹ עַל־מׇתְנֶיךָ וּבַמַּיִם לֹא תְבִאֵֽהוּ׃

2 And I bought the loincloth according to [the] word of Yahweh and I put [it] on loins my.

וָאֶקְנֶה אֶת־הָאֵזוֹר כִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה וָאָשִׂם עַל־מׇתְנָֽי׃

3 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me a second [time] saying.

וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי שֵׁנִית לֵאמֹֽר׃

4 Take the loincloth which you bought which [is] on loins your and arise go Perath towards and hide it there in [the] cleft of the rock.

קַח אֶת־הָאֵזוֹר אֲשֶׁר קָנִיתָ אֲשֶׁר עַל־מׇתְנֶיךָ וְקוּם לֵךְ פְּרָתָה וְטׇמְנֵהוּ שָׁם בִּנְקִיק הַסָּֽלַע׃

5 And I went and I hid it at Perath just as he had commanded Yahweh me.

וָאֵלֵךְ וָאֶטְמְנֵהוּ בִּפְרָת כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אוֹתִֽי׃

6 And it was from [the] end of days many and he said Yahweh to me arise go Perath towards and take from there the loincloth which I commanded you to hide it there.

וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ יָמִים רַבִּים וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי קוּם לֵךְ פְּרָתָה וְקַח מִשָּׁם אֶת־הָאֵזוֹר אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִיךָ לְטׇמְנוֹ־שָֽׁם׃

7 And I went Perath towards and I dug and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there and there! it was ruined the loincloth not it was profitable for anything.

וָאֵלֵךְ פְּרָתָה וָאֶחְפֹּר וָֽאֶקַּח אֶת־הָאֵזוֹר מִן־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־טְמַנְתִּיו שָׁמָּה וְהִנֵּה נִשְׁחַת הָאֵזוֹר לֹא יִצְלַח לַכֹּֽל׃

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

וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃

9 Thus he says Yahweh thus I will ruin [the] pride of Judah and [the] pride of Jerusalem great.

כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה כָּכָה אַשְׁחִית אֶת־גְּאוֹן יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־גְּאוֹן יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם הָרָֽב׃

10 The people this wicked who are refusing - to hear words my who walk in [the] stubbornness of own heart their and they have walked after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and let it be like the loincloth this which not it is profitable for anything.

הָעָם הַזֶּה הָרָע הַֽמֵּאֲנִים ׀ לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֶת־דְּבָרַי הַהֹֽלְכִים בִּשְׁרִרוּת לִבָּם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְעׇבְדָם וּלְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לָהֶם וִיהִי כָּאֵזוֹר הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִצְלַח לַכֹּֽל׃

11 For just as it clings loincloth to [the] loins of a person so I have made cling to me all [the] house of Israel and all [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh to become for me a people and a name and praise and honor and not they listened.

כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יִדְבַּק הָאֵזוֹר אֶל־מׇתְנֵי־אִישׁ כֵּן הִדְבַּקְתִּי אֵלַי אֶת־כׇּל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת־כׇּל־בֵּית יְהוּדָה נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה לִֽהְיוֹת לִי לְעָם וּלְשֵׁם וְלִתְהִלָּה וּלְתִפְאָרֶת וְלֹא שָׁמֵֽעוּ׃

12 And you will speak to them the word this. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel every wineskin it will be filled wine and they will say to you ¿ really not do we know that every wineskin it will be filled wine.

וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כׇּל־נֵבֶל יִמָּלֵא יָיִן וְאָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ הֲיָדֹעַ לֹא נֵדַע כִּי כׇל־נֵבֶל יִמָּלֵא יָֽיִן׃

13 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to fill all [the] inhabitants of the land this and the kings who sit for David on throne his and the priests and the prophets and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem drunkenness.

וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה הִנְנִי מְמַלֵּא אֶת־כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וְאֶת־הַמְּלָכִים הַיֹּשְׁבִים לְדָוִד עַל־כִּסְאוֹ וְאֶת־הַכֹּהֲנִים וְאֶת־הַנְּבִאִים וְאֵת כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלָ͏ִם שִׁכָּרֽוֹן׃

14 And I will smash them each to brother his and the parents and the children alike [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will show pity and not I will have mercy and not I will have compassion from destroying them.

וְנִפַּצְתִּים אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו וְהָאָבוֹת וְהַבָּנִים יַחְדָּו נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה לֹֽא־אֶחְמוֹל וְלֹא־אָחוּס וְלֹא אֲרַחֵם מֵהַשְׁחִיתָֽם׃

15 Hear and give ear may not you be haughty for Yahweh he has spoken.

שִׁמְעוּ וְהַאֲזִינוּ אַל־תִּגְבָּהוּ כִּי יְהֹוָה דִּבֵּֽר׃

16 Give to Yahweh God your glory before he will bring darkness and before they will stumble feet your on mountains of twilight and you will wait for light and he will make it into deep darkness (and he will make [it] *Q(K)*) into thick darkness.

תְּנוּ לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם כָּבוֹד בְּטֶרֶם יַחְשִׁךְ וּבְטֶרֶם יִֽתְנַגְּפוּ רַגְלֵיכֶם עַל־הָרֵי נָשֶׁף וְקִוִּיתֶם לְאוֹר וְשָׂמָהּ לְצַלְמָוֶת (ישית) [וְשִׁית] לַעֲרָפֶֽל׃

17 And if not you will listen to it in secret places it will weep self my because of pride and utterly it will weep and it may run down eye my tear[s] for it has been taken captive [the] flock of Yahweh.

וְאִם לֹא תִשְׁמָעוּהָ בְּמִסְתָּרִים תִּבְכֶּֽה־נַפְשִׁי מִפְּנֵי גֵוָה וְדָמֹעַ תִּדְמַע וְתֵרַד עֵינִי דִּמְעָה כִּי נִשְׁבָּה עֵדֶר יְהֹוָֽה׃

18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother make low sit for it has come down [the] place of head your [the] crown of splendor your.

אֱמֹר לַמֶּלֶךְ וְלַגְּבִירָה הַשְׁפִּילוּ שֵׁבוּ כִּי יָרַד מַרְאֲשׁוֹתֵיכֶם עֲטֶרֶת תִּֽפְאַרְתְּכֶֽם׃

19 [the] cities of The Negev they have been shut up and there not [is one who] opens it has been taken into exile Judah all of it it has been taken into exile completeness.

עָרֵי הַנֶּגֶב סֻגְּרוּ וְאֵין פֹּתֵחַ הׇגְלָת יְהוּדָה כֻּלָּהּ הׇגְלָת שְׁלוֹמִֽים׃

20 (Lift up *Q(K)*) eyes your (and see *Q(K)*) those [who] are coming from [the] north where? [is] the flock [which] it was given to you [the] sheep of beauty your.

(שאי) [שְׂאוּ] עֵֽינֵיכֶם (וראי) [וּרְאוּ] הַבָּאִים מִצָּפוֹן אַיֵּה הָעֵדֶר נִתַּן־לָךְ צֹאן תִּפְאַרְתֵּֽךְ׃

21 What? will you say that he will appoint over you and you you taught them over you close friends to chief ¿ not labor-pains will they seize you like a woman giving birth.

מַה־תֹּֽאמְרִי כִּֽי־יִפְקֹד עָלַיִךְ וְאַתְּ לִמַּדְתְּ אֹתָם עָלַיִךְ אַלֻּפִים לְרֹאשׁ הֲלוֹא חֲבָלִים יֹֽאחֱזוּךְ כְּמוֹ אֵשֶׁת לֵדָֽה׃

22 And if you will say in heart your why? have they happened to me these [things] in [the] greatness of iniquity your they have been uncovered skirts your they have suffered violence heels your.

וְכִי תֹֽאמְרִי בִּלְבָבֵךְ מַדּוּעַ קְרָאֻנִי אֵלֶּה בְּרֹב עֲוֺנֵךְ נִגְלוּ שׁוּלַיִךְ נֶחְמְסוּ עֲקֵבָֽיִךְ׃

23 ¿ Will he change a Cushite skin his and a leopard spots its also you you will be able to do good O [those] trained to do evil.

הֲיַהֲפֹךְ כּוּשִׁי עוֹרוֹ וְנָמֵר חֲבַרְבֻּרֹתָיו גַּם־אַתֶּם תּוּכְלוּ לְהֵיטִיב לִמֻּדֵי הָרֵֽעַ׃

24 And I will scatter them like chaff [which] passes away to [the] wind of [the] wilderness.

וַאֲפִיצֵם כְּקַשׁ־עוֹבֵר לְרוּחַ מִדְבָּֽר׃

25 This [is] lot your [the] portion of measure your from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh that you have forgotten me and you have trusted in falsehood.

זֶה גוֹרָלֵךְ מְנָת־מִדַּיִךְ מֵאִתִּי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁכַחַתְּ אוֹתִי וַֽתִּבְטְחִי בַּשָּֽׁקֶר׃

26 And also I I will strip off skirts your on face your and it will be visible shame your.

וְגַם־אֲנִי חָשַׂפְתִּי שׁוּלַיִךְ עַל־פָּנָיִךְ וְנִרְאָה קְלוֹנֵֽךְ׃
