Jeremiah 11

1 [the] word which to be to(wards) Jeremiah from with LORD to/for to say

This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:

2 to hear: hear [obj] word [the] covenant [the] this and to speak: speak them to(wards) man: anyone Judah and upon to dwell Jerusalem

“Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].

3 and to say to(wards) them thus to say LORD God Israel to curse [the] man which not to hear: hear [obj] word [the] covenant [the] this

Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.

4 which to command [obj] father your in/on/with day to come out: send I [obj] them from land: country/planet Egypt from furnace [the] iron to/for to say to hear: hear in/on/with voice my and to make: do [obj] them like/as all which to command [obj] you and to be to/for me to/for people and I to be to/for you to/for God

It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.

5 because to arise: establish [obj] [the] oath which to swear to/for father your to/for to give: give to/for them land: country/planet to flow: flowing milk and honey like/as day: today [the] this and to answer and to say amen LORD

[Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”

6 and to say LORD to(wards) me to call: call out [obj] all [the] word [the] these in/on/with city Judah and in/on/with outside Jerusalem to/for to say to hear: hear [obj] word [the] covenant [the] this and to make: do [obj] them

Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.

7 for to testify to testify in/on/with father your in/on/with day to ascend: establish I [obj] them from land: country/planet Egypt and till [the] day: today [the] this to rise and to testify to/for to say to hear: obey in/on/with voice my

When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.

8 and not to hear: obey and not to stretch [obj] ear their and to go: walk man: anyone in/on/with stubbornness heart their [the] bad: evil and to come (in): bring upon them [obj] all word [the] covenant [the] this which to command to/for to make: do and not to make: do

But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”

9 and to say LORD to(wards) me to find conspiracy in/on/with man: anyone Judah and in/on/with to dwell Jerusalem

Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.

10 to return: turn back upon iniquity: crime father their [the] first which to refuse to/for to hear: hear [obj] word my and they(masc.) to go: follow after God another to/for to serve: minister them to break house: household Israel and house: household Judah [obj] covenant my which to cut: make(covenant) with father their

Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.

11 to/for so thus to say LORD look! I to come (in): bring to(wards) them distress: harm which not be able to/for to come out: come from her and to cry out to(wards) me and not to hear: hear to(wards) them

So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.

12 and to go: went city Judah and to dwell Jerusalem and to cry out to(wards) [the] God which they(masc.) to offer: offer to/for them and to save not to save to/for them in/on/with time distress: harm their

When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.

13 for number city your to be God your Judah and number outside Jerusalem to set: make altar to/for shame altar to/for to offer: offer to/for Baal

There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.

14 and you(m. s.) not to pray about/through/for [the] people [the] this and not to lift: loud about/through/for them cry and prayer for nothing I to hear: hear in/on/with time to call: call to they to(wards) me about/through/for distress: harm their

Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”

15 what? to/for beloved my in/on/with house: temple my to make: do she [the] plot [to] [the] many and flesh holiness to pass from upon you for distress: harm your then to exult

Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.

16 olive luxuriant beautiful fruit appearance to call: call by LORD name your to/for voice: sound tumult great: large to kindle fire upon her and to shatter branch his

I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.

17 and LORD Hosts [the] to plant [obj] you to speak: promise upon you distress: harm in/on/with because of distress: evil house: household Israel and house: household Judah which to make: do to/for them to/for to provoke me to/for to offer: offer to/for Baal

[It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”

18 and LORD to know me and to know [emph?] then to see: see me deed their

Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.

19 and I like/as lamb tame to conduct to/for to slaughter and not to know for upon me to devise: devise plot to ruin tree in/on/with food his and to cut: eliminate him from land: country/planet alive and name his not to remember still

[Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].

20 and LORD Hosts to judge righteousness to test kidney and heart to see: see vengeance your from them for to(wards) you to reveal: reveal [obj] strife my

[Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”

21 to/for so thus to say LORD upon human Anathoth [the] to seek [obj] soul: life your to/for to say not to prophesy in/on/with name LORD and not to die in/on/with hand our

It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.

22 to/for so thus to say LORD Hosts look! I to reckon: punish upon them [the] youth to die in/on/with sword son: child their and daughter their to die in/on/with famine

So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.

23 and remnant not to be to/for them for to come (in): bring distress: harm to(wards) human Anathoth year punishment their

I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
