< Jeremiah 32 >
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh (in the year *Q(K)*) tenth of Zedekiah [the] king of Judah that [was] the year eight-teen year of Nebuchadnezzar.
The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, in the tenthe yeer of Sedechie, kyng of Juda; thilke is the eiytenthe yeer of Nabugodonosor.
2 And then [the] army of [the] king of Babylon [were] laying siege on Jerusalem and Jeremiah the prophet he was shut up in [the] courtyard of the guard which [was] [the] house of [the] king of Judah.
Thanne the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne bisegide Jerusalem; and Jeremye, the profete, was closid in the porche of the prisoun, that was in the hous of the kyng of Juda.
3 Where he had shut up him Zedekiah [the] king of Judah saying why? [are] you prophesying saying thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
For whi Sedechie, the kyng of Juda, hadde closid hym, and seide, Whi profesiest thou, seiynge, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue this citee in the hond of the kyng of Babyloyne, and he schal take it; and Sedechie,
4 And Zedekiah [the] king of Judah not he will escape from [the] hand of the Chaldeans for certainly he will be given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and it will speak mouth his with mouth his and eyes his (eyes his *Q(K)*) they will see.
the kyng of Juda, schal not ascape fro the hond of Caldeis, but he schal be bitake in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne; and his mouth schal speke with the mouth of hym, and hise iyen schulen se the iyen of hym;
5 And Babylon he will take Zedekiah and there he will be until give attention to I him [the] utterance of Yahweh if you will fight with the Chaldeans not you will succeed.
and he schal lede Sedechie in to Babiloyne, and he schal be there, til Y visyte hym, seith the Lord; forsothe if ye fiyten ayens Caldeis, ye schulen haue no thing in prosperite?
6 And he said Jeremiah it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And Jeremye seide, The word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Lo!
7 Here! Hanamel [the] son of Shallum uncle your [is] about to come to you saying buy for yourself field my which [is] at Anathoth for [belongs] to you [the] right of redemption to buy [it].
Ananeel, the sone of Sellum, the sone of thi fadris brothir, schal come to thee, and seie, Bi thou to thee my feeld, which is in Anathot; for it bifallith to thee by niy kynrede, that thou bie it.
8 And he came to me Hanamel [the] son of uncle my according to [the] word of Yahweh to [the] courtyard of the guard and he said to me buy please field my which [is] at Anathoth which - [is] in [the] land of Benjamin for [belongs] to you [the] right of possession and [belongs] to you the redemption buy [it] for yourself and I knew that [was] [the] word of Yahweh it.
And Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir, cam to me, bi the word of the Lord, to the porche of the prisoun, and seide to me, Welde thou my feeld, which is in Anathot, in the lond of Beniamyn; for whi the erytage bifallith to thee, and thou art the next of blood, that thou welde it. Forsothe Y vndirstood, that it was the word of the Lord.
9 And I bought the field from with Hanamel [the] son of uncle my which [was] at Anathoth and I weighed out! for him the silver [was] seven shekels and ten the silver.
And Y bouyte the feeld, which is in Anathot, of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir. And Y paiede to hym siluer, seuene stateris, and ten platis of siluer;
10 And I wrote on the document and I sealed [it] and I caused to witness [it] witnesses and I weighed out the silver on scales.
and Y wroot in a book, and Y seelide, and Y yaf witnessis. And Y weiede siluer in a balaunce;
11 And I took [the] document of the purchase the sealed [one] the order and the conditions and the uncovered [one].
and Y took the book aseelid of possessioun, and axingis and answerys of the seller and bier, and couenauntis, and seelis withoutforth.
12 And I gave the document the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah to [the] eyes of Hanamel uncle my and to [the] eyes of the witnesses who wrote on [the] document of the purchase to [the] eyes of all the Jews who were sitting in [the] courtyard of the guard.
And Y yaf the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Neri, sone of Maasie, bifore the iyen of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brother, and bifore the iyen of witnessis that weren writun in the book of biyng, bifore the iyen of alle Jewis, that saten in the porche of the prisoun.
13 And I commanded Baruch to eyes their saying.
And Y comaundide to Baruc bifore hem,
14 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel take the documents these [the] document of the purchase this and the sealed [one] and [the] document uncovered this and you will put them in a vessel of earthenware so that they may remain days many.
and Y seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Take thou these bookis, this seelid book of biyng, and this book which is opyn, and putte thou tho in an erthen vessel, that tho moun dwelle bi many daies.
15 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel again they will be bought houses and fields and vineyards in the land this.
For whi the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit housis, and feeldis, and vynes schulen be weldid in this lond.
16 And I prayed to Yahweh after gave I [the] document of the purchase to Baruch [the] son of Neriah saying.
And Y preiede to the Lord, aftir that Y bitook the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Nery; and Y seide, Alas!
17 Alas! O Lord Yahweh there! - you you made the heavens and the earth by strength your great and by arm your outstretched not it is [too] difficult for you any thing.
alas! alas! Lord God, Lord, thou madist heuene and erthe in thi greet strengthe, and in thin arm stretchid forth; ech word schal not be hard to thee;
18 [who] does Covenant loyalty to thousands and [who] pays back [the] iniquity of fathers into [the] bosom of children their after them God great mighty [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
which doist merci in thousyndis, and yeldist the wickidnesse of fadris in to the bosum of her sones aftir hem. Thou strongeste, greet, myyti, Lord of oostis is name to thee;
19 great of Counsel and [the] great of deed[s] who eyes your [are] opened on all [the] ways of [the] children of humankind to give to everyone according to ways his and according to [the] fruit of deeds his.
greet in councel, and vncomprehensible in thouyt, whose iyen ben open on alle the weies of the sones of Adam, that thou yelde to ech aftir hise weies, and aftir the fruyt of hise fyndyngis;
20 Who you performed signs and wonders in [the] land of Egypt until the day this and in Israel and among humankind and you have made for yourself a name as the day this.
which settidist signes and greet woundris in the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai, bothe in Israel and in men; and madist to thee a name, as this dai is.
21 And you brought out people your Israel from [the] land of Egypt by signs and by wonders and by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with terror great.
And thou leddist thi puple Israel out of the lond of Egipt, in signes and in greet woundris, and in a strong hond, and in an arm holdun forth, and in greet dreed; and thou yauest to hem this lond,
22 And you gave to them the land this which you had sworn to ancestors their to give to them a land flowing of milk and honey.
which thou sworist to the fadris of hem, that thou woldist yyue to hem, a lond flowynge with milk and hony.
23 And they came and they took possession of it and not they listened to voice your (and in law your *Q(K)*) not they walked all that you had commanded to them to do not they did and you have caused to happen to them all the calamity this.
And thei entriden, and hadden it in possessioun; and thei obeieden not to thi vois, and thei yeden not in thi lawe; alle thingis whiche thou comaundidist to hem to do, thei diden not; and alle these yuels bifellen to hem.
24 There! the mounds they have come the city to capture it and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting on it because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence and [that] which you spoke it has happened and there you [are] seeing [it].
Lo! strengthis ben bildid ayens the citee, that it be takun, and the citee is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, that fiyten ayens it, of the face of swerd, and of hungur, and of pestilence; and what euer thingis thou spakest, bifellen, as thou thi silf seest.
25 And you you have said to me O Lord Yahweh buy for yourself the field with silver and cause to witness [it] witnesses and the city it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
And Lord God, thou seist to me, Bie thou a feeld for siluer, and yyue thou witnessis, whanne the citee is youun in the hondis of Caldeis.
26 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah saying.
And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, and seide, Lo!
27 Here! I [am] Yahweh [the] God of all flesh ¿ for me is it [too] difficult any thing.
Y am the Lord God of `al fleisch. Whether ony word schal be hard to me?
28 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bitake this citee in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
29 And they will come the Chaldeans who are fighting on the city this and they will set on fire the city this with fire and they will burn it and the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to Baal and they poured out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
And Caldeis schulen come, and fiyte ayens this citee, and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thei schulen brenne it, and housis, in whose rooues thei sacrifieden to Baal, and offriden moist sacrifices to alien goddis, to terre me to wraththe.
30 For they have been [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah only doing the evil in view my since youth their for [the] people of Israel only [are] provoking to anger me by [the] work of hands their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
For whi the sones of Israel and the sones of Juda diden yuel contynueli, fro her yonge waxynge age, bifore myn iyen, the sones of Israel, whiche `til to now wraththen me bi the werk of her hondis, seith the Lord.
31 That on anger my and on rage my it has been to me the city this from the day when they built it and until the day this to remove it from on face my.
For whi this citee is maad to me in my strong veniaunce and indignacioun, fro the day in which thei bildiden it, `til to this dai, in which it schal be takun awei fro my siyt;
32 On all [the] evil of [the] people of Israel and [the] people of Judah which they have done to provoke to anger me they kings their officials their priests their and prophets their and everyone of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
for the malice of the sones of Israel, and of the sones of Juda, which thei diden, terrynge me to wrathfulnesse, thei, and the kyngis of hem, the princes of hem, and the prestis, and profetis of hem, the men of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem.
33 And they turned to me a back and not a face and I taught them rising early and teaching and not they [were] listening to accept correction.
And thei turneden to me the backis, and not the faces, whanne Y tauyte, and enformede hem erli; and thei nolden here, that thei schulden take techyng.
34 And they put detestable things their in the house which it was called name my on it to make unclean it.
And thei settiden her idols in the hous, in which my name is clepid to help, that thei schulden defoule it.
35 And they built [the] high places of Baal which - [are] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to make pass through sons their and daughters their to Molech which not I had commanded them and not it had come up on heart my to do the abomination this so as (to cause to sin *Q(k)*) Judah.
And thei bildiden hiy thingis to Baal, that ben in the valei of the sones of Ennon, that thei schulden halewe her sones and her douytris to Moloc, which thing Y comaundide not to hem, nether it stiede in to myn herte, that thei schulden do this abhomynacioun, and brynge Juda in to synne.
36 And now therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel concerning the city this which - you [are] saying it has been given in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon by the sword and by famine and by pestilence.
And now for these thingis, the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to this citee, of whiche ye seien, that it schal be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, in swerd, and in hungur, and in pestilence, Lo!
37 Here I [will be] gathering them from all the lands where I have banished them there in anger my and in rage my and in wrath great and I will bring back them to the place this and I will cause to dwell them to security.
Y schal gadere hem fro alle londis, to whiche Y castide hem out in my strong veniaunce, and in my wraththe, and in greet indignacioun; and Y schal brynge hem ayen to this place, and Y schal make hem to dwelle tristili.
38 And they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
And thei schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to hem.
39 And I will give to them a heart one and a way one to fear me all the days for good for them and for children their after them.
And Y schal yyue to hem oon herte and o soule, that thei drede me in alle daies, and that it be wel to hem, and to her sones aftir hem.
40 And I will make to them a covenant of perpetuity which not I will turn back from after them to do good to I them and fear my I will put in heart their to not to turn aside from with me.
And Y schal smyte to hem a couenaunt euerlastynge, and Y schal not ceese to do wel to hem, and Y schal yyue my drede in the herte of hem, that thei go not awey fro me.
41 And I will rejoice on them to do good to them and I will plant them in the land this in faithfulness with all heart my and with all being my.
And Y schal be glad on hem, whanne Y schal do wel to hem; and Y schal plaunte hem in this lond in treuthe, in al myn herte, and in al my soule.
42 For thus he says Yahweh just as I have brought to the people this all the calamity great this so I [will] bring on them all the good which I [am] speaking to them.
For the Lord seith these thingis, As Y brouyte on this puple al this greet yuel, so Y schal brynge on hem al the good, which Y schal speke to hem.
43 And it will be bought the field in the land this which - you [are] saying [is] a desolation it from not human being and an animal it has been given in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
And feeldis schulen be weldid in this lond, of which ye seien, that it is desert, for no man and beeste is left; and it is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis.
44 Fields for silver people will buy and they will write on the document - and they will seal [it] and cause to witness [it] witnesses in [the] land of Benjamin and in [the] surroundings of Jerusalem and in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] cities of the hill country and in [the] cities of the Shephelah and in [the] cities of the Negev for I will turn back captivity their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Feeldis schulen be bouyt for money, and schulen be writun in a book, and a seel schal be preentid; and witnessis schulen be youun, in the lond of Beniamyn, and in the cumpas of Jerusalem, and in the citees of Juda, and in the citees in hilli places, and in the citees in feeldi places, and in the citees that ben at the south; for Y schal turne the caitiftee of hem, seith the Lord.
