1 [the] word which to be to(wards) Jeremiah from with LORD (in/on/with year *Q(K)*) [the] tenth to/for Zedekiah king Judah he/she/it [the] year eight ten year to/for Nebuchadnezzar
After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
2 and then strength: soldiers king Babylon to confine upon Jerusalem and Jeremiah [the] prophet to be to restrain in/on/with court [the] guardhouse which house: home king Judah
His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.

King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
4 and Zedekiah king Judah not to escape from hand: power [the] Chaldea for to give: give to give: give in/on/with hand: power king Babylon and to speak: speak lip his with lip his and eye his [obj] (eye his *Q(K)*) to see: see

Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
6 and to say Jeremiah to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
7 behold Hanamel son: child Shallum beloved: male relative your to come (in): come to(wards) you to/for to say to buy to/for you [obj] land: country my which in/on/with Anathoth for to/for you justice [the] redemption to/for to buy
“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
8 and to come (in): come to(wards) me Hanamel son: descendant/people beloved: male relative my like/as word LORD to(wards) court [the] guardhouse and to say to(wards) me to buy please [obj] land: country my which in/on/with Anathoth which in/on/with land: country/planet Benjamin for to/for you justice [the] possession and to/for you [the] redemption to buy to/for you and to know for word LORD he/she/it
And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
9 and to buy [obj] [the] land: country from with Hanamel son: descendant/people beloved: male relative my which in/on/with Anathoth and to weigh [emph?] to/for him [obj] [the] silver: money seven shekel and ten [the] silver: money
[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
10 and to write in/on/with scroll: document and to seal and to testify witness and to weigh [the] silver: money in/on/with balance
I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
11 and to take: take [obj] scroll: document [the] purchase [obj] [the] to seal [the] commandment and [the] statute: decree and [obj] [the] to reveal: uncover
Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
12 and to give: give [obj] [the] scroll: document [the] purchase to(wards) Baruch son: child Neriah son: child Mahseiah to/for eye: before(the eyes) Hanamel beloved: male relative my and to/for eye: before(the eyes) [the] witness [the] to write in/on/with scroll: document [the] purchase to/for eye: before(the eyes) all [the] Jew [the] to dwell in/on/with court [the] guardhouse
and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
13 and to command [obj] Baruch to/for eye: before(the eyes) their to/for to say
[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
14 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to take: take [obj] [the] scroll: document [the] these [obj] scroll: document [the] purchase [the] this and [obj] [the] to seal and [obj] scroll: document [the] to reveal: uncover [the] this and to give: put them in/on/with article/utensil earthenware because to stand: stand day many
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
15 for thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel still to buy house: home and land: country and vineyard in/on/with land: country/planet [the] this
[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
16 and to pray to(wards) LORD after to give: give I [obj] scroll: document [the] purchase to(wards) Baruch son: child Neriah to/for to say
After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
17 alas! Lord YHWH/God behold you(m. s.) to make [obj] [the] heaven and [obj] [the] land: country/planet in/on/with strength your [the] great: large and in/on/with arm your [the] to stretch not to wonder from you all word: thing

And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
25 and you(m. s.) to say to(wards) me Lord YHWH/God to buy to/for you [the] land: country in/on/with silver: money and to testify witness and [the] city to give: give in/on/with hand: power [the] Chaldea
[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
26 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
27 behold I LORD God all flesh from me to wonder all word: thing
“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
28 to/for so thus to say LORD look! I to give: give [obj] [the] city [the] this in/on/with hand: power [the] Chaldea and in/on/with hand: power Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon and to capture her
So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.

I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
36 and now to/for so thus to say LORD God Israel to(wards) [the] city [the] this which you(m. p.) to say to give: give in/on/with hand: power king Babylon in/on/with sword and in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence
“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
37 look! I to gather them from all [the] land: country/planet which to banish them there in/on/with face: anger my and in/on/with rage my and in/on/with wrath great: large and to return: return them to(wards) [the] place [the] this and to dwell them to/for security

44 land: country in/on/with silver: money to buy and to write in/on/with scroll: document and to seal and to testify witness in/on/with land: country/planet Benjamin and in/on/with around Jerusalem and in/on/with city Judah and in/on/with city [the] mountain: hill country and in/on/with city [the] Shephelah and in/on/with city [the] Negeb for to return: rescue [obj] captivity their utterance LORD
[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
