Jeremiah 33

1 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah second and he/she/it still he to restrain in/on/with court [the] guardhouse to/for to say

While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:

2 thus to say LORD to make her LORD to form: formed [obj] her to/for to establish: establish her LORD name his

“This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.

3 to call: call to to(wards) me and to answer you and to tell to/for you great: large and to gather/restrain/fortify not to know them

Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’

4 for thus to say LORD God Israel upon house: home [the] city [the] this and upon house: home king Judah [the] to tear to(wards) [the] mound and to(wards) [the] sword

This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.

5 to come (in): come to/for to fight with [the] Chaldea and to/for to fill them with corpse [the] man which to smite in/on/with face: anger my and in/on/with rage my and which to hide face my from [the] city [the] this upon all distress: evil their

You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.

6 look! I to ascend: establish to/for her health and healing and to heal them and to reveal: reveal to/for them abundance peace: well-being and truth: certain

However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.

7 and to return: rescue [obj] captivity Judah and [obj] captivity Israel and to build them like/as in/on/with first

I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.

8 and be pure them from all iniquity: guilt their which to sin to/for me and to forgive (to/for all *Q(K)*) iniquity: guilt their which to sin to/for me and which to transgress in/on/with me

I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against me.

9 and to be to/for me to/for name rejoicing to/for praise and to/for beauty to/for all nation [the] land: country/planet which to hear: hear [obj] all [the] welfare which I to make: do [obj] them and to dread and to tremble upon all [the] welfare and upon all [the] peace: well-being which I to make: offer to/for her

[When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’

10 thus to say LORD still to hear: hear in/on/with place [the] this which you(m. p.) to say desolate he/she/it from nothing man and from nothing animal in/on/with city Judah and in/on/with outside Jerusalem [the] be desolate: destroyed from nothing man and from nothing to dwell and from nothing animal

And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,

11 voice rejoicing and voice joy voice son-in-law and voice daughter-in-law: bride voice to say to give thanks [obj] LORD Hosts for pleasant LORD for to/for forever: enduring kindness his to come (in): bring thanksgiving house: temple LORD for to return: rescue [obj] captivity [the] land: country/planet like/as in/on/with first to say LORD

[some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’

12 thus to say LORD Hosts still to be in/on/with place [the] this [the] desolate from nothing man and till animal and in/on/with all city his pasture to pasture to stretch flock

This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.

13 in/on/with city [the] mountain: hill country in/on/with city [the] Shephelah and in/on/with city [the] Negeb and in/on/with land: country/planet Benjamin and in/on/with around Jerusalem and in/on/with city Judah still to pass [the] flock upon hand to count to say LORD

Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.

14 behold day to come (in): come utterance LORD and to arise: establish [obj] [the] word: promised [the] pleasant which to speak: promise to(wards) house: household Israel and upon house: household Judah

Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].

15 in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) and in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to spring to/for David branch righteousness and to make: do justice and righteousness in/on/with land: country/planet

At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.

16 in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) to save Judah and Jerusalem to dwell to/for security and this which to call: call by to/for her LORD Righteousness our

At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.

17 for thus to say LORD not to cut: lack to/for David man to dwell upon throne house: household Israel

And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.

18 and to/for priest [the] Levi not to cut: lack man from to/for face: before my to ascend: offer up burnt offering and to offer: burn offering and to make sacrifice all [the] day: always

And there will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”

19 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say

[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:

20 thus to say LORD if to break [obj] covenant my [the] day and [obj] covenant my [the] night and to/for lest to be by day and night in/on/with time their

“This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.

21 also covenant my to break with David servant/slave my from to be to/for him son: descendant/people to reign upon throne his and with [the] Levi [the] priest to minister me

Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.

22 which not to recount army [the] heaven and not to measure sand [the] sea so to multiply [obj] seed: children David servant/slave my and [obj] [the] Levi to minister [obj] me

No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”

23 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say

Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,

24 not to see: see what? [the] people [the] this to speak: speak to/for to say two [the] family which to choose LORD in/on/with them and to reject them and [obj] people my to spurn [emph?] from to be still nation to/for face: before their

“Have you noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.

25 thus to say LORD if not covenant my by day and night statute heaven and land: country/planet not to set: make

But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the earth.

26 also seed: children Jacob and David servant/slave my to reject from to take: take from seed: children his to rule to(wards) seed: children Abraham Isaac and Jacob for (to return: rescue *Q(K)*) [obj] captivity their and to have compassion them

Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
