Jeremiah 34
1 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came with the armies of all the kingdoms that he ruled, and they fought against Jerusalem and the other towns [in Judah]. At that time, Yahweh gave me this message:
[the] word which to be to(wards) Jeremiah from with LORD and Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon and all strength: soldiers his and all kingdom land: country/planet dominion hand: power his and all [the] people to fight upon Jerusalem and upon all city her to/for to say
2 “Go to Zedekiah the King of Judah, and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: “I am about to enable the army of the King of Babylon to capture this city, and they will burn it down.
thus to say LORD God Israel to go: went and to say to(wards) Zedekiah king Judah and to say to(wards) him thus to say LORD look! I to give: give [obj] [the] city [the] this in/on/with hand: power king Babylon and to burn her in/on/with fire

4 But King Zedekiah, listen to this that Yahweh has promised: ‘You will not be killed in a battle [MTY];
surely to hear: hear word LORD Zedekiah king Judah thus to say LORD upon you not to die in/on/with sword
5 you will die peacefully. [When you die], people will burn incense to honor/remember you just as they did for your ancestors who were kings before you became king. They will mourn for you, crying, “We are very sad that our king is dead!” I, Yahweh, promise that will happen.’”
in/on/with peace to die and like/as burning father your [the] king [the] first: previous which to be to/for face: before your so to burn to/for you and woe! lord to mourn to/for you for word I to speak: speak utterance LORD
6 [So] I took that message to King Zedekiah.
and to speak: speak Jeremiah [the] prophet to(wards) Zedekiah king Judah [obj] all [the] word [the] these in/on/with Jerusalem
7 At that time the army of Babylonia had surrounded Jerusalem and Lachish and Azekah. Those [three] cities were the only cities in Judah that had high walls around them that still had not been captured.
and strength: soldiers king Babylon to fight upon Jerusalem and upon all city Judah [the] to remain to(wards) Lachish and to(wards) Azekah for they(fem.) to remain in/on/with city Judah city fortification
8 King Zedekiah had decreed that the people must free their slaves.
[the] word which to be to(wards) Jeremiah from with LORD after to cut: make(covenant) [the] king Zedekiah covenant with all [the] people which in/on/with Jerusalem to/for to call: call out to/for them liberty
9 [He decreed that] the people must free their Hebrew slaves, [both the] men slaves and the women [slaves]. No one would be allowed to force a fellow Jew to [continue to] be his slave.
to/for to send: let go man: anyone [obj] servant/slave his and man: anyone [obj] maidservant his [the] Hebrew and [the] Hebrew free to/for lest to serve in/on/with them in/on/with Jew brother: compatriot his man: anyone
10 The officials and the rest of the people had obeyed [what the king decreed],
and to hear: obey all [the] ruler and all [the] people which to come (in): come in/on/with covenant to/for to send: let go man: anyone [obj] servant/slave his and man: anyone [obj] maidservant his free to/for lest to serve in/on/with them still and to hear: obey and to send: let go
11 but later they changed their minds. They forced the men and women whom they had freed to become their slaves again.
and to return: turn back after so and to return: return [obj] [the] servant/slave and [obj] [the] maidservant which to send: let go free (and to subdue them *Q(K)*) to/for servant/slave and to/for maidservant
12 [So] Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to them]:
and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah from with LORD to/for to say
13 “I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israelis [say you belong to], (made an agreement with/gave this command to) your ancestors [long ago], when I rescued them from being slaves in Egypt.
thus to say LORD God Israel I to cut: make(covenant) covenant with father your in/on/with day to come out: send I [obj] them from land: country/planet Egypt from house: household servant/slave to/for to say
14 I told them that they must free all their Hebrew slaves after the slaves had worked for them for six years. But your ancestors did not pay any attention to what I said.

15 Recently, you obeyed my command and stopped doing what was wrong and did what was right. You made a solemn agreement at my temple [that you would free your slaves], and [then] you freed them.
and to return: repent you(m. p.) [the] day: today and to make: do [obj] [the] upright in/on/with eye my to/for to call: call out liberty man: anyone to/for neighbor his and to cut: make(covenant) covenant to/for face: before my in/on/with house: temple which to call: call by name my upon him
16 But now you have disregarded what you solemnly promised, and you have shown contempt for what I [MTY] said by taking back the women and men whom you had freed and said they could live wherever they wanted to. [Now] you have forced them to be your slaves again.
and to return: turn back and to profane/begin: profane [obj] name my and to return: rescue man: anyone [obj] servant/slave his and man: anyone [obj] maidservant his which to send: let go free to/for soul: appetite their and to subdue [obj] them to/for to be to/for you to/for servant/slave and to/for maidservant
17 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘Because you have not obeyed me by freeing your fellow Israelis, I will free you to [be destroyed by] the swords [of your enemies] and by famines and diseases. All the nations of the earth will be horrified because of [what happens to] you.
to/for so thus to say LORD you(m. p.) not to hear: obey to(wards) me to/for to call: call out liberty man: anyone to/for brother: male-sibling his and man: anyone to/for neighbor his look! I to call: call out to/for you liberty utterance LORD to(wards) [the] sword to(wards) [the] pestilence and to(wards) [the] famine and to give: make [obj] you (to/for horror *Q(K)*) to/for all kingdom [the] land: country/planet
18 Because you have disregarded what I said in my agreement with you, I will do to you just like you did to the calves that you cut in half to show that you would surely do what you solemnly promised that you would do. I will [enable your enemies to] cut you into pieces, you officials of Judah and you officials of Jerusalem, and you officials in the palace, and you priests and all you common people. I will do that because you have disregarded what you solemnly promised [about freeing your slaves].
and to give: make [obj] [the] human [the] to pass: trespass [obj] covenant my which not to arise: establish [obj] word: promised [the] covenant which to cut: make(covenant) to/for face: before my [the] calf which to cut: cut to/for two and to pass between part his

20 I will enable your enemies to capture you, and they will kill you. And your bodies will be food for vultures and wild animals.
and to give: give [obj] them in/on/with hand: power enemy their and in/on/with hand: power to seek soul: life their and to be carcass their to/for food to/for bird [the] heaven and to/for animal [the] land: country/planet
21 I will enable the army of the king of Babylon to capture King Zedekiah and his officials. Although the king of Babylon and his army have left Jerusalem [for a short time],
and [obj] Zedekiah king Judah and [obj] ruler his to give: give in/on/with hand: power enemy their and in/on/with hand: power to seek soul: life their and in/on/with hand: power strength: soldiers king Babylon [the] to ascend: rise from upon you
22 I will summon them back again. [This time], they will fight against this city and capture it and burn it down. I will make [sure] that all the towns in Judah are destroyed, [with the result that] no one will live there [any more].’”
look! I to command utterance LORD and to return: return them to(wards) [the] city [the] this and to fight upon her and to capture her and to burn her in/on/with fire and [obj] city Judah to give: make devastation from nothing to dwell
