Jeremiah 44

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes and in Memphis and in [the] land of Pathros saying.

The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—saying,

2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you you have seen all the calamity which I brought on Jerusalem and on all [the] cities of Judah and there! they [are] a ruin the day this and there not in them [is] an inhabitant.

“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling in them,

3 Because of wickedness their which they did to provoke to anger me by going to make smoke to serve gods other which not they had known them they you and ancestors your.

because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.

4 And I sent to you all servants my the prophets rising early and sending saying may not please you do [the] thing of abomination this which I hate.

And I send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—

5 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their to turn away from wickedness their to not to make smoke to gods other.

and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other gods,

6 And it poured forth rage my and anger my and it burned in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and they became a ruin a desolation as the day this.

and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, as [at] this day.

7 And therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel why? [are] you doing harm great to selves your to cut off to yourselves man and woman child and suckling-child from [the] midst of Judah to not to leave for yourselves a remnant.

And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to you:

8 By provoking to anger me by [the] deeds of hands your by making smoke to gods other in [the] land of Egypt where you [have] come to sojourn there so as to cut off to yourselves and so as to become you a curse and a reproach among all [the] nations of the earth.

by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?

9 ¿ Have you forgotten [the] wicked deeds of ancestors your and [the] wicked deeds of - [the] kings of Judah and [the] wicked deeds of wives his and wicked deeds your and [the] wicked deeds of wives your which they did in [the] land of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.

Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?

10 Not they have been made contrite until the day this and not they have feared and not they have walked in law my and in decrees my which I set before you and before ancestors your.

They have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.

11 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to set face my on you for harm and to cut off all Judah.

Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,

12 And I will take away [the] remnant of Judah who they set faces their to go [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there and they will meet their end everyone in [the] land of Egypt they will fall by the sword by famine they will meet their end from [the] small and unto [the] great by the sword and by famine they will die and they will become an curse a horror and a curse and a reproach.

and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.

13 And I will visit [judgment] on those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt just as I visited [judgment] on Jerusalem by the sword by famine and by pestilence.

And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,

14 And not he will belong an escapee and a survivor to [the] remnant of Judah who went to sojourn there in [the] land of Egypt and to return - [the] land of Judah where they [are] lifting up desire their to return to dwell there for not they will return that except fugitives.

and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”

15 And they answered Jeremiah all the men who knew that [were] making smoke wives their to gods other and all the women who were standing by a company great and all the people who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt in Pathros saying.

And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:

16 The word which you have spoken to us in [the] name of Yahweh not we [are] about to listen to you.

“The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;

17 For certainly we will do every thing - which it has gone out from mouth our to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings just as we have done we and ancestors our kings our and officials our in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and we were satisfied food and we were good and distress not we saw.

for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.

18 And from then we ceased to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings we have lacked everything and by the sword and by the famine we have met our end.

And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by sword and by famine,

19 And if we [were] making smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings ¿ without husbands our did we make for her cakes to form image her and to pour out to her drink offerings.

and when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?”

20 And he said Jeremiah to all the people to the men and to the women and to all the people who had answered him a word saying.

And Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying,

21 ¿ Not the incense which you made smoke in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem you and ancestors your kings your and officials your and [the] people of the land them did he remember Yahweh and did it come up on heart his.

“The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on His heart.

22 And not he was able Yahweh still to endure because of [the] wickedness of deeds your because of the abominations which you did and it has become land your a desolation and a waste and a curse from not inhabitant as the day this.

And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.

23 Because that you made smoke and that you had sinned to Yahweh and not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and in law his and in decrees his and in testimonies his not you walked there-fore it has happened to you the calamity this as the day this.

Because that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met you as [at] this day.”

24 And he said Jeremiah to all the people and to all the women hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah which [is] in [the] land of Egypt.

And Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt:

25 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel saying you and wives your and you have spoken with mouth your and with hands your you have fulfilled - saying certainly we will perform vows our which we have vowed to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings certainly you will carry out vows your and certainly you will perform vows your.

Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.

26 Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who are dwelling in [the] land of Egypt here I I swear by own name my great he says Yahweh if it will be again name my named - by [the] mouth of - any person of Judah [who] says [by] [the] life of [the] Lord Yahweh in all [the] land of Egypt.

Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.

27 Here I [am] watching over them for harm and not for good and they will meet their end every person of Judah who [is] in [the] land of Egypt by the sword and by famine until come to an end they.

Behold, I am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.

28 And escapees of [the] sword they will return! from [the] land of Egypt [the] land of Judah men of number and they will know all [the] remnant of Judah who went to [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there [the] word of whom? will it be established from me and from them.

And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, Mine or theirs.

29 And this for you [will be] the sign [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] about to visit [judgment] I on you in the place this so that you may know that certainly they will be established words my on you for harm.

And this [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—

30 Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give Pharaoh Hophra [the] king of Egypt in [the] hand of enemies his and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life his just as I gave Zedekiah [the] king of Judah in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon enemy his and [one who] sought life his.

thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”
