Jeremiah 26

1 in/on/with first: beginning kingdom Jehoiakim son: child Josiah king Judah to be [the] word [the] this from with LORD to/for to say

Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:

2 thus to say LORD to stand: stand in/on/with court house: temple LORD and to speak: speak upon all city Judah [the] to come (in): come to/for to bow house: temple LORD [obj] all [the] word which to command you to/for to speak: speak to(wards) them not to dimish word

“This is what [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.

3 perhaps to hear: hear and to return: repent man: anyone from way: conduct his [the] bad: evil and to be sorry: relent to(wards) [the] distress: harm which I to devise: devise to/for to make: do to/for them from face: because evil deed their

[If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.

4 and to say to(wards) them thus to say LORD if not to hear: hear to(wards) me to/for to go: walk in/on/with instruction my which to give: put to/for face: before your

Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,

5 to/for to hear: hear upon word servant/slave my [the] prophet which I to send: depart to(wards) you and to rise and to send: depart and not to hear: hear

6 and to give: make [obj] [the] house: temple [the] this like/as Shiloh and [obj] [the] city ([the] this *Q(k)*) to give: make to/for curse to/for all nation [the] land: country/planet

I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”

7 and to hear: hear [the] priest and [the] prophet and all [the] people [obj] Jeremiah to speak: speak [obj] [the] word [the] these in/on/with house: temple LORD

[When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the temple.

8 and to be like/as to end: finish Jeremiah to/for to speak: speak [obj] all which to command LORD to/for to speak: speak to(wards) all [the] people and to capture [obj] him [the] priest and [the] prophet and all [the] people to/for to say to die to die

But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!

9 why? to prophesy in/on/with name LORD to/for to say like/as Shiloh to be [the] house: temple [the] this and [the] city [the] this to destroy from nothing to dwell and to gather all [the] people to(wards) Jeremiah in/on/with house: temple LORD

Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.

10 and to hear: hear ruler Judah [obj] [the] word: thing [the] these and to ascend: rise from house: palace [the] king house: temple LORD and to dwell in/on/with entrance gate LORD [the] New (Gate)

When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my case].

11 and to say [the] priest and [the] prophet to(wards) [the] ruler and to(wards) all [the] people to/for to say justice: judgement death to/for man [the] this for to prophesy to(wards) [the] city [the] this like/as as which to hear: hear in/on/with ear your

The priests and the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”

12 and to say Jeremiah to(wards) all [the] ruler and to(wards) all [the] people to/for to say LORD to send: depart me to/for to prophesy to(wards) [the] house: temple [the] this and to(wards) [the] city [the] this [obj] all [the] word which to hear: hear

Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.

13 and now be good way: conduct your and deed your and to hear: obey in/on/with voice LORD God your and to be sorry: relent LORD to(wards) [the] distress: harm which to speak: promise upon you

But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.

14 and I look! I in/on/with hand your to make: do to/for me like/as pleasant and like/as upright in/on/with eye: appearance your

As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.

15 surely to know to know that if: except if: except to die you(m. p.) [obj] me for blood innocent you(m. p.) to give: give upon you and to(wards) [the] city [the] this and to(wards) to dwell her for in/on/with truth: true to send: depart me LORD upon you to/for to speak: speak in/on/with ear your [obj] all [the] word [the] these

[But you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”

16 and to say [the] ruler and all [the] people to(wards) [the] priest and to(wards) [the] prophet nothing to/for man [the] this justice: judgement death for in/on/with name LORD God our to speak: speak to(wards) us

Then the officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”

17 and to arise: rise human from old: elder [the] land: country/planet and to say to(wards) all assembly [the] people to/for to say

Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were gathered [there].

18 (Micah *Q(K)*) [the] Moreshethite to be to prophesy in/on/with day Hezekiah king Judah and to say to(wards) all people Judah to/for to say thus to say LORD Hosts Zion land: country to plow/plot and Jerusalem ruin to be and mountain: mount [the] house: temple to/for high place wood

They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’

19 to die to die him Hezekiah king Judah and all Judah not to fear [obj] LORD and to beg [obj] face of LORD and to be sorry: relent LORD to(wards) [the] distress: harm which to speak: promise upon them and we to make: do distress: harm great: large upon soul: myself our

But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”

20 and also man to be to prophesy in/on/with name LORD Uriah son: child Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim [the] Kiriath-jearim and to prophesy upon [the] city [the] this and upon [the] land: country/planet [the] this like/as all word Jeremiah

[At that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.

21 and to hear: hear [the] king Jehoiakim and all mighty man his and all [the] ruler [obj] word his and to seek [the] king to die him and to hear: hear Uriah and to fear and to flee and to come (in): come Egypt

When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.

22 and to send: depart [the] king Jehoiakim human Egypt [obj] Elnathan son: child Achbor and human with him to(wards) Egypt

Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.

23 and to come out: send [obj] Uriah from Egypt and to come (in): bring him to(wards) [the] king Jehoiakim and to smite him in/on/with sword and to throw [obj] carcass his to(wards) grave son: descendant/people [the] people

They captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.

24 surely hand Ahikam son: child Shaphan to be with Jeremiah to/for lest to give: give [obj] him in/on/with hand [the] people to/for to die him

However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
