1. וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁפַטְיָה בֶן־מַתָּן וּגְדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן־פַּשְׁחוּר וְיוּכַל בֶּן־שֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ וּפַשְׁחוּר בֶּן־מַלְכִּיָּה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר יִרְמְיָהוּ מְדַבֵּר אֶל־כָּל־הָעָם לֵאמֹר׃ ס

1. Then Shephatiah H8203 the son H1121 of Mattan H4977 , and Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Pashur H6583 , and Jucal H3116 the son H1121 of Shelemiah H8018 , and Pashur H6583 the son H1121 of Malchiah H4441 , heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 that H834 Jeremiah H3414 had spoken H1696 unto H413 all H3605 the people H5971 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת יָמוּת בַּחֶרֶב בָּרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר וְהַיֹּצֵא אֶל־הַכַּשְׂדִּים יִחְיֶה כ (וְחָיָה ק) וְהָיְתָה־לֹּו נַפְשֹׁו לְשָׁלָל וָחָי׃ ס
|
2. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , He that remaineth H3427 in this H2063 city H5892 shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 : but he that goeth forth H3318 to H413 the Chaldeans H3778 shall live H2421 ; for he shall have H1961 his life H5315 for a prey H7998 , and shall live H2425 .
|
|
3. כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנָּתֹן תִּנָּתֵן הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד חֵיל מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָהּ׃
|
3. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , This H2063 city H5892 shall surely be given H5414 H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 's army H2428 , which shall take H3920 it.
|
|
4. וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַשָּׂרִים אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ יוּמַת נָא אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה כִּי־עַל־כֵּן הוּא־מְרַפֵּא אֶת־יְדֵי אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַנִּשְׁאָרִים ׀ בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאֵת יְדֵי כָל־הָעָם לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי ׀ הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֵינֶנּוּ דֹרֵשׁ לְשָׁלֹום לָעָם הַזֶּה כִּי אִם־לְרָעָה׃
|
4. Therefore the princes H8269 said H559 unto H413 the king H4428 , We beseech thee H4994 , let H853 this H2088 man H376 be put to death H4191 : for H3588 thus H5921 H3651 he H1931 weakeneth H7503 H853 the hands H3027 of the men H376 of war H4421 that remain H7604 in this H2063 city H5892 , and the hands H3027 of all H3605 the people H5971 , in speaking H1696 such H428 words H1697 unto H413 them: for H3588 this H2088 man H376 seeketh H1875 not H369 the welfare H7965 of this H2088 people H5971 , but H3588 H518 the hurt H7451 .
|
|
5. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ הִנֵּה־הוּא בְּיֶדְכֶם כִּי־אֵין הַמֶּלֶךְ יוּכַל אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר׃
|
5. Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 said H559 , Behold H2009 , he H1931 is in your hand H3027 : for H3588 the king H4428 is not H369 he that can do H3201 any thing H1697 against you.
|
|
6. וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ וַיַּשְׁלִכוּ אֹתֹו אֶל־הַבֹּור ׀ מַלְכִּיָּהוּ בֶן־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲבָלִים וּבַבֹּור אֵין־מַיִם כִּי אִם־טִיט וַיִּטְבַּע יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּטִּיט׃ ס
|
6. Then took H3947 they H853 Jeremiah H3414 , and cast H7993 him into H413 the dungeon H953 of Malchiah H4441 the son H1121 of Hammelech H4429 , that H834 was in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 : and they let down H7971 H853 Jeremiah H3414 with cords H2256 . And in the dungeon H953 there was no H369 water H4325 , but H3588 H518 mire H2916 : so Jeremiah H3414 sunk H2883 in the mire H2916 .
|
|
7. וַיִּשְׁמַע עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי אִישׁ סָרִיס וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי־נָתְנוּ אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל־הַבֹּור וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יֹושֵׁב בְּשַׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן׃
|
7. Now when Ebed H5663 -melech the Ethiopian H3569 , one H376 of the eunuchs H5631 which H1931 was in the king H4428 's house H1004 , heard H8085 that H3588 they had put H5414 H853 Jeremiah H3414 in H413 the dungeon H953 ; the king H4428 then sitting H3427 in the gate H8179 of Benjamin H1144 ;
|
|
8. וַיֵּצֵא עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְדַבֵּר אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר׃
|
8. Ebed H5663 -melech went forth H3318 out of the king H4428 's house H4480 H1004 , and spoke H1696 to H413 the king H4428 , saying H559 ,
|
|
9. אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הֵרֵעוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לְיִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֵת אֲשֶׁר־הִשְׁלִיכוּ אֶל־הַבֹּור וַיָּמָת תַּחְתָּיו מִפְּנֵי הָרָעָב כִּי אֵין הַלֶּחֶם עֹוד בָּעִיר׃
|
9. My lord H113 the king H4428 , these H428 men H376 have done evil H7489 in H853 all H3605 that H834 they have done H6213 to Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , H853 whom H834 they have cast H7993 into H413 the dungeon H953 ; and he is like to die H4191 for H4480 H6440 hunger H7458 in the place where H8478 he is: for H3588 there is no H369 more H5750 bread H3899 in the city H5892 .
|
|
10. וַיְצַוֶּה הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי לֵאמֹר קַח בְּיָדְךָ מִזֶּה שְׁלֹשִׁים אֲנָשִׁים וְהַעֲלִיתָ אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא מִן־הַבֹּור בְּטֶרֶם יָמוּת׃
|
10. Then the king H4428 commanded H6680 H853 Ebed H5663 -melech the Ethiopian H3569 , saying H559 , Take H3947 from hence H4480 H2088 thirty H7970 men H376 with H3027 thee , and take up H5927 H853 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 out of H4480 the dungeon H953 , before H2962 he die H4191 .
|
|
11. וַיִּקַּח ׀ עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ אֶת־הָאֲנָשִׁים בְּיָדֹו וַיָּבֹא בֵית־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־תַּחַת הָאֹוצָר וַיִּקַּח מִשָּׁם בְּלֹויֵ הַסְּחָבֹות כ (סְחָבֹות ק) וּבְלֹויֵ מְלָחִים וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל־הַבֹּור בַּחֲבָלִים׃
|
11. So Ebed H5663 -melech took H3947 H853 the men H376 with H3027 him , and went into H935 the house H1004 of the king H4428 under H413 H8478 the treasury H214 , and took H3947 thence H4480 H8033 old H1094 cast clouts H5499 and old H1094 rotten rags H4418 , and let them down H7971 by cords H2256 into H413 the dungeon H953 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 .
|
|
12. וַיֹּאמֶר עֶבֶד־מֶלֶךְ הַכּוּשִׁי אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ שִׂים נָא בְּלֹואֵי הַסְּחָבֹות וְהַמְּלָחִים תַּחַת אַצִּלֹות יָדֶיךָ מִתַּחַת לַחֲבָלִים וַיַּעַשׂ יִרְמְיָהוּ כֵּן׃
|
12. And Ebed H5663 -melech the Ethiopian H3569 said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , Put H7760 now H4994 these old H1094 cast clouts H5499 and rotten rags H4418 under H8478 thine armholes H679 H3027 under H4480 H8478 the cords H2256 . And Jeremiah H3414 did H6213 so H3651 .
|
|
13. וַיִּמְשְׁכוּ אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲבָלִים וַיַּעֲלוּ אֹתֹו מִן־הַבֹּור וַיֵּשֶׁב יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה׃ ס
|
13. So they drew up H4900 H853 Jeremiah H3414 with cords H2256 , and took him up H5927 H853 out of H4480 the dungeon H953 : and Jeremiah H3414 remained H3427 in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 .
|
|
14. וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּקַּח אֶת־יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֵלָיו אֶל־מָבֹוא הַשְּׁלִישִׁי אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ שֹׁאֵל אֲנִי אֹתְךָ דָּבָר אַל־תְּכַחֵד מִמֶּנִּי דָּבָר׃
|
14. Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 sent H7971 , and took H3947 H853 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 unto H413 him into H413 the third H7992 entry H3996 that H834 is in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 : and the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , I H589 will ask H7592 thee a thing H1697 ; hide H3582 nothing H408 H1697 from H4480 me.
|
|
15. וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל־צִדְקִיָּהוּ כִּי אַגִּיד לְךָ הֲלֹוא הָמֵת תְּמִיתֵנִי וְכִי אִיעָצְךָ לֹא תִשְׁמַע אֵלָי׃
|
15. Then Jeremiah H3414 said H559 unto H413 Zedekiah H6667 , If H3588 I declare H5046 it unto thee , wilt thou not H3808 surely put me to death H4191 H4191 ? and if H3588 I give thee counsel H3289 , wilt thou not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 me?
|
|
16. וַיִּשָּׁבַע הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּסֵּתֶר לֵאמֹר חַי־יְהוָה אֶת כ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה־לָנוּ אֶת־הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַזֹּאת אִם־אֲמִיתֶךָ וְאִם־אֶתֶּנְךָ בְּיַד הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ׃ ס
|
16. So Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 swore H7650 secretly H5643 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , H853 that H834 made H6213 us H853 this H2063 soul H5315 , I will not H518 put thee to death H4191 , neither H518 will I give H5414 thee into the hand H3027 of these H428 men H376 that H834 seek H1245 H853 thy life H5315 .
|
|
17. וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל־צִדְקִיָּהוּ כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־יָצֹא תֵצֵא אֶל־שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וְחָיְתָה נַפְשֶׁךָ וְהָעִיר הַזֹּאת לֹא תִשָּׂרֵף בָּאֵשׁ וְחָיִתָה אַתָּה וּבֵיתֶךָ׃
|
17. Then said H559 Jeremiah H3414 unto H413 Zedekiah H6667 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the God H430 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; If H518 thou wilt assuredly go forth H3318 H3318 unto H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 's princes H8269 , then thy soul H5315 shall live H2421 , and this H2063 city H5892 shall not H3808 be burned H8313 with fire H784 ; and thou H859 shalt live H2421 , and thine house H1004 :
|
|
18. וְאִם לֹא־תֵצֵא אֶל־שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְנִתְּנָה הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים וּשְׂרָפוּהָ בָּאֵשׁ וְאַתָּה לֹא־תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם׃ ס
|
18. But if H518 thou wilt not H3808 go forth H3318 to H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 's princes H8269 , then shall this H2063 city H5892 be given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the Chaldeans H3778 , and they shall burn H8313 it with fire H784 , and thou H859 shalt not H3808 escape H4422 out of their hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
19. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ אֲנִי דֹאֵג אֶת־הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ אֶל־הַכַּשְׂדִּים פֶּן־יִתְּנוּ אֹתִי בְּיָדָם וְהִתְעַלְּלוּ־בִי׃ פ
|
19. And Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , I H589 am afraid of H1672 H853 the Jews H3064 that H834 are fallen H5307 to H413 the Chaldeans H3778 , lest H6435 they deliver H5414 me into their hand H3027 , and they mock H5953 me.
|
|
20. וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ לֹא יִתֵּנוּ שְׁמַע־נָא ׀ בְּקֹול יְהוָה לַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי דֹּבֵר אֵלֶיךָ וְיִיטַב לְךָ וּתְחִי נַפְשֶׁךָ׃
|
20. But Jeremiah H3414 said H559 , They shall not H3808 deliver H5414 thee . Obey H8085 , I beseech thee H4994 , the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 I H589 speak H1696 unto H413 thee : so it shall be well H3190 unto thee , and thy soul H5315 shall live H2421 .
|
|
21. וְאִם־מָאֵן אַתָּה לָצֵאת זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר הִרְאַנִי יְהוָה׃
|
21. But if H518 thou H859 refuse H3986 to go forth H3318 , this H2088 is the word H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath showed H7200 me:
|
|
22. וְהִנֵּה כָל־הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ בְּבֵית מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה מוּצָאֹות אֶל־שָׂרֵי מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְהֵנָּה אֹמְרֹות הִסִּיתוּךָ וְיָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ הָטְבְּעוּ בַבֹּץ רַגְלֶךָ נָסֹגוּ אָחֹור׃
|
22. And, behold H2009 , all H3605 the women H802 that H834 are left H7604 in the king H4428 of Judah H3063 's house H1004 shall be brought forth H3318 to H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 's princes H8269 , and those H2007 women shall say H559 , Thy friends H376 H7965 have set H5496 thee on , and have prevailed H3201 against thee : thy feet H7272 are sunk H2883 in the mire H1206 , and they are turned away H5472 back H268 .
|
|
23. וְאֶת־כָּל־נָשֶׁיךָ וְאֶת־בָּנֶיךָ מֹוצִאִים אֶל־הַכַּשְׂדִּים וְאַתָּה לֹא־תִמָּלֵט מִיָּדָם כִּי בְיַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל תִּתָּפֵשׂ וְאֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת תִּשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ׃ פ
|
23. So they shall bring out H3318 all H3605 thy wives H802 and thy children H1121 to H413 the Chaldeans H3778 : and thou H859 shalt not H3808 escape H4422 out of their hand H4480 H3027 , but H3588 shalt be taken H8610 by the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 : and thou shalt cause this H2063 city H5892 to be burned H8313 with fire H784 .
|
|
24. וַיֹּאמֶר צִדְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ אִישׁ אַל־יֵדַע בַּדְּבָרִים־הָאֵלֶּה וְלֹא תָמוּת׃
|
24. Then said H559 Zedekiah H6667 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , Let no H408 man H376 know H3045 of these H428 words H1697 , and thou shalt not H3808 die H4191 .
|
|
25. וְכִי־יִשְׁמְעוּ הַשָּׂרִים כִּי־דִבַּרְתִּי אִתָּךְ וּבָאוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְאָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ הַגִּידָה־נָּא לָנוּ מַה־דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אַל־תְּכַחֵד מִמֶּנּוּ וְלֹא נְמִיתֶךָ וּמַה־דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
|
25. But if H3588 the princes H8269 hear H8085 that H3588 I have talked H1696 with H854 thee , and they come H935 unto H413 thee , and say H559 unto H413 thee, Declare H5046 unto us now H4994 what H4100 thou hast said H1696 unto H413 the king H4428 , hide H3582 it not H408 from H4480 us , and we will not H3808 put thee to death H4191 ; also what H4100 the king H4428 said H1696 unto H413 thee:
|
|
26. וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם מַפִּיל־אֲנִי תְחִנָּתִי לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לְבִלְתִּי הֲשִׁיבֵנִי בֵּית יְהֹונָתָן לָמוּת שָׁם׃ פ
|
26. Then thou shalt say H559 unto H413 them, I H589 presented H5307 my supplication H8467 before H6440 the king H4428 , that he would not H1115 cause me to return H7725 to Jonathan H3129 's house H1004 , to die H4191 there H8033 .
|
|
27. וַיָּבֹאוּ כָל־הַשָּׂרִים אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתֹו וַיַּגֵּד לָהֶם כְּכָל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּחֲרִשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי לֹא־נִשְׁמַע הַדָּבָר׃ פ
|
27. Then came H935 all H3605 the princes H8269 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 , and asked H7592 him : and he told H5046 them according to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 that H834 the king H4428 had commanded H6680 . So they left off speaking H2790 with H4480 him; for H3588 the matter H1697 was not H3808 perceived H8085 .
|
|
28. וַיֵּשֶׁב יִרְמְיָהוּ בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה עַד־יֹום אֲשֶׁר־נִלְכְּדָה יְרוּשָׁלִָם ס וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר נִלְכְּדָה יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ פ
|
28. So Jeremiah H3414 abode H3427 in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 until H5704 the day H3117 that H834 Jerusalem H3389 was taken H3920 : and he was H1961 there when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was taken H3920 .
