Jeremiah 3
1 Saying there! he will send away a husband wife his and she will go from with him and she will belong to a man another ¿ will he return to her again ¿ not certainly will it be polluted the land that and you you have acted as a prostitute companions many and will you return? to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife, will he return to her again? Would that land not be greatly polluted? You have lived as a prostitute who has many lovers; and would you return to me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
2 Lift up eyes your on bare heights and see where? not (have you been lain with *Q(K)*) at roads you sat for them like an Arab in the wilderness and you have polluted [the] land by prostitution your and by wickedness your.
Lift up your eyes to the barren heights and look! Is there any place where you have not had illicit sex? By the roadsides you sat waiting for your lovers, as an Arab in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and wickedness.
3 And they have been withheld copious showers and spring rain not it has come and [the] forehead of a woman a prostitute it belonged to you you refused to be ashamed.
So the showers have been withheld and the spring rains have not come; yet you have the forehead of a prostitute; you refuse to be ashamed.
4 ¿ Not from now (have you called *Q(K)*) to me O father my [were] [the] close friend of youth my you.
Have you not just now called to me: 'My father! My closest friend even from my youth!
5 ¿ Will he maintain for ever or? will he keep to perpetuity here! (you spoke *Q(K)*) and you did wicked things and you were able.
Will he always be angry? Will he always keep his wrath to the end?' Look! This is what you have said, but you do all the evil you can!”
6 And he said Yahweh to me in [the] days of Josiah the king ¿ have you seen [that] which she has done [the] apostate one Israel [has been] going she on every hill high and to under every tree luxuriant and she has acted as a prostitute there.
Then Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Do you see what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up every high hill and under every leafy tree, and there she has acted like a prostitute.
7 And I thought after has done she all these [things] to me she will return and not she has returned (and she saw *Q(k)*) treacherous sister her Judah.
I said, 'After she does all these things, she will return to me,' but she did not return. Then her faithless sister Judah saw these things.
8 And I saw that on all causes that she committed adultery [the] apostate one Israel I sent away her and I gave [the] document of divorce her to her and not she was afraid treacherous Judah sister her and she went and she acted as a prostitute also she.
So I saw that, in the same way that faithless Israel had committed adultery and I had sent her away and had given a bill of divorce against her, her faithless sister Judah did not fear; she also went out and acted like a prostitute.
9 And it was from [the] lightness of prostitution her and it was polluted the land and she committed adultery stone and wood.
Her prostitution was nothing to her; she defiled the land, and she committed adultery with stones and trees.
10 And also for all this not she returned to me treacherous sister her Judah with all heart her that except with deception [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Then after all of this, her faithless sister Judah returned to me, not with all her heart, but with a lie—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
11 And he said Yahweh to me she has made appear righteous self her [the] apostate one Israel more than [the] treacherous [one] Judah.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Faithless Israel has been more righteous than faithless Judah!
12 Go and you will proclaim the words these north-ward and you will say return! O apostate one Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will make fall face my on you for [am] faithful I [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will maintain for ever.
Go and proclaim these words to the north. Say, 'Return, faithless Israel!—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not always be angry with you. Since I am faithful—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not stay angry forever.
13 Only recognize iniquity your that against Yahweh God your you have rebelled and you have scattered ways your to strangers under every tree luxuriant and to voice my not you have listened [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Acknowledge your iniquity, for you have transgressed against Yahweh your God; you have shared your ways with strangers under every leafy tree! For you have not listened to my voice!—this is Yahweh's declaration.
14 Return O sons backsliding [the] utterance of Yahweh for I I am husband over you and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan and I will bring you Zion.
Return, faithless people!—this is Yawheh's declaration—I am your husband! I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion!
15 And I will give to you shepherds according to own heart my and they will shepherd you knowledge and insight.
I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they will shepherd you with knowledge and insight.
16 And it will be that you will multiply and you will be fruitful in the land in the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh not people will say again [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and not it will come up on a heart and not people will remember it and not people will miss [it] and not it will be made again.
Then it will happen that you will increase and bear fruit in the land in those days—this is Yahweh's declaration-they will no longer say, “The ark of the covenant of Yahweh!” This matter will no longer come up in their hearts or be remembered; it will not be missed, and another one will not be made.'
17 At the time that people will call Jerusalem [the] throne of Yahweh and they will be collected to it all the nations to [the] name of Yahweh to Jerusalem and not they will walk again after [the] stubbornness of heart their evil.
In that time they will proclaim about Jerusalem, 'This is Yahweh's throne,' and all the other nations will gather at Jerusalem in Yahweh's name. They will no longer walk in the stubbornness of their wicked hearts.
18 In the days those they will walk [the] house of Judah with [the] house of Israel so they may come together from a land of [the] north to the land which I gave as an inheritance ancestors your.
In those days, the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel. They will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your ancestors as an inheritance.
19 And I I thought how! I will set you among the sons so I may give to you a land of desire an inheritance of beauty of beauties of nations and I thought father my (you will call *Q(K)*) me and from after me not (you will turn away. *Q(K)*)
As for me, I said, 'How I want to treat you as my son and give you a pleasant land, an inheritance more beautiful than what is in any other nation!' I would have said, 'You will call me “my father”.' I would have said that you would not turn from following me.
20 Nevertheless she deals treacherously a woman from companion her so you have dealt treacherously with me O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh.
But like a woman faithless to her husband, you have betrayed me, house of Israel—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
21 A sound on bare heights [is] heard [the] weeping of [the] supplications of [the] people of Israel for they have perverted way their they have forgotten Yahweh God their.
A voice is heard on the plains, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel! For they have changed their ways; they have forgotten Yahweh their God.
22 Return O sons backsliding I will heal apostasies your here [are] we we have come to you for you [are] Yahweh God our.
“Return, faithless people! I will heal you of treachery!” “Behold! We will come to you, for you are Yahweh our God!
23 Truly to deception from [the] hills a tumult mountains truly [is] in Yahweh God our [the] salvation of Israel.
Surely lies come from the hills, a confusing noise from the mountains; surely Yahweh our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 And the shameful thing it has consumed [the] toil of ancestors our since youth our flock[s] their and herd[s] their sons their and daughters their.
Yet shameful idols have consumed what our ancestors have worked for— their flocks and cattle, their sons and daughters!
25 Let us lie down in shame our and let it cover us disgrace our for to Yahweh God our we have sinned we and ancestors our since youth our and until the day this and not we have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God our.
Let us lie down in shame. May our shame cover us, for we have sinned against Yahweh our God! We ourselves and our ancestors, from the time of our youthfulness to this present day, have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God!”
