Jeremiah 34 (WEBP)

[1] The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:
[2] “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Yahweh says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.
[3] You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’
[4] “Yet hear Yahweh’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Yahweh says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword.
[5] You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says Yahweh.”
[6] Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
[7] when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
[8] The word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
[9] that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.
[10] All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,
[11] but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
[12] Therefore Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
[13] “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
[14] At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.
[15] You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;
[16] but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”
[17] Therefore Yahweh says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says Yahweh, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
[18] I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:
[19] the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.
[20] I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
[21] “I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.
[22] Behold, I will command,” says Yahweh, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”

Jeremiah 34 (KJVS)

[1] The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought () against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying, ()
[2] Thus saith () the Lord, the God of Israel; Go () and speak () to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell () him, Thus saith () the Lord; Behold, I will give () this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn () it with fire:
[3] and thou shalt not escape out () of his hand, but shalt surely () be taken, () and delivered () into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold () the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak () with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go () to Babylon.
[4] Yet hear () the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith () the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not die () by the sword:
[5] but thou shalt die () in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn () odours for thee; and they will lament () thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced () the word, saith () the Lord.
[6] Then Jeremiah the prophet spake () all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
[7] when the king of Babylon’s army fought () against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, () against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained () of the cities of Judah.
[8] This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made () a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim () liberty unto them;
[9] that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go () free; that none should serve () himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
[10] Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered () into the covenant, heard () that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go () free, that none should serve () themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, () and let them go. ()
[11] But afterward they turned, () and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go () free, to return, () and brought them into subjection () () () for servants and for handmaids.
[12] Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ()
[13] Thus saith () the Lord, the God of Israel; I made () a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth () out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying, ()
[14] at the end of seven years let ye go () every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold () unto thee; and when he hath served () thee six years, thou shalt let him go () free from thee: but your fathers hearkened () not unto me, neither inclined () their ear.
[15] And ye were now turned, () and had done () right in my sight, in proclaiming () liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made () a covenant before me in the house which is called () by my name:
[16] but ye turned () and polluted () my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set () at liberty at their pleasure, to return, () and brought them into subjection, () to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
[17] Therefore thus saith () the Lord; Ye have not hearkened () unto me, in proclaiming () liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim () a liberty for you, saith () the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make () you to be removed () into all the kingdoms of the earth.
[18] And I will give () the men that have transgressed () my covenant, which have not performed () the words of the covenant which they had made () before me, when they cut () the calf in twain, and passed () between the parts thereof,
[19] the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed () between the parts of the calf;
[20] I will even give () them into the hand of their enemies, () and into the hand of them that seek () their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
[21] And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give () into the hand of their enemies, () and into the hand of them that seek () their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up () from you.
[22] Behold, I will command, () saith () the Lord, and cause them to return () to this city; and they shall fight () against it, and take () it, and burn () it with fire: and I will make () the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant. ()

[1] [41:1] ο λογος ο γενομενος προς ιερεμιαν παρα κυριου και ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και παν το στρατοπεδον αυτου και πασα η γη αρχης αυτου επολεμουν επι ιερουσαλημ και επι πασας τας πολεις ιουδα λεγων
[2] [41:2] ουτως ειπεν κυριος βαδισον προς σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα και ερεις αυτω ουτως ειπεν κυριος παραδοσει παραδοθησεται η πολις αυτη εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και συλλημψεται αυτην και καυσει αυτην εν πυρι
[3] [41:3] και συ ου μη σωθης εκ χειρος αυτου και συλλημψει συλλημφθηση και εις χειρας αυτου δοθηση και οι οφθαλμοι σου τους οφθαλμους αυτου οψονται και το στομα αυτου μετα του στοματος σου λαλησει και εις βαβυλωνα εισελευση
[4] [41:4] αλλα ακουσον τον λογον κυριου σεδεκια βασιλευ ιουδα ουτως λεγει κυριος
[5] [41:5] εν ειρηνη αποθανη και ως εκλαυσαν τους πατερας σου τους βασιλευσαντας προτερον σου κλαυσονται και σε και ω αδων κοψονται σε οτι λογον εγω ελαλησα ειπεν κυριος
[6] [41:6] και ελαλησεν ιερεμιας προς τον βασιλεα σεδεκιαν παντας τους λογους τουτους εν ιερουσαλημ
[7] [41:7] και η δυναμις βασιλεως βαβυλωνος επολεμει επι ιερουσαλημ και επι τας πολεις ιουδα επι λαχις και επι αζηκα οτι αυται κατελειφθησαν εν πολεσιν ιουδα πολεις οχυραι
[8] [41:8] ο λογος ο γενομενος προς ιερεμιαν παρα κυριου μετα το συντελεσαι τον βασιλεα σεδεκιαν διαθηκην προς τον λαον του καλεσαι αφεσιν
[9] [41:9] του εξαποστειλαι εκαστον τον παιδα αυτου και εκαστον την παιδισκην αυτου τον εβραιον και την εβραιαν ελευθερους προς το μη δουλευειν ανδρα εξ ιουδα
[10] [41:10] και επεστραφησαν παντες οι μεγιστανες και πας ο λαος οι εισελθοντες εν τη διαθηκη του αποστειλαι εκαστον τον παιδα αυτου και εκαστον την παιδισκην αυτου
[11] [41:11] και εωσαν αυτους εις παιδας και παιδισκας
[12] [41:12] και εγενηθη λογος κυριου προς ιερεμιαν λεγων
[13] [41:13] ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ εγω εθεμην διαθηκην προς τους πατερας υμων εν τη ημερα η εξειλαμην αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας λεγων
[14] [41:14] οταν πληρωθη εξ ετη αποστελεις τον αδελφον σου τον εβραιον ος πραθησεται σοι και εργαται σοι εξ ετη και εξαποστελεις αυτον ελευθερον και ουκ ηκουσαν μου και ουκ εκλιναν το ους αυτων
[15] [41:15] και επεστρεψαν σημερον ποιησαι το ευθες προ οφθαλμων μου του καλεσαι αφεσιν εκαστον του πλησιον αυτου και συνετελεσαν διαθηκην κατα προσωπον μου εν τω οικω ου επεκληθη το ονομα μου επ αυτω
[16] [41:16] και επεστρεψατε και εβεβηλωσατε το ονομα μου του επιστρεψαι εκαστον τον παιδα αυτου και εκαστον την παιδισκην αυτου ους εξαπεστειλατε ελευθερους τη ψυχη αυτων υμιν εις παιδας και παιδισκας
[17] [41:17] δια τουτο ουτως ειπεν κυριος υμεις ουκ ηκουσατε μου του καλεσαι αφεσιν εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου ιδου εγω καλω αφεσιν υμιν εις μαχαιραν και εις τον θανατον και εις τον λιμον και δωσω υμας εις διασποραν πασαις ταις βασιλειαις της γης
[18] [41:18] και δωσω τους ανδρας τους παρεληλυθοτας την διαθηκην μου τους μη στησαντας την διαθηκην μου ην εποιησαν κατα προσωπον μου τον μοσχον ον εποιησαν εργαζεσθαι αυτω
[19] [41:19] τους αρχοντας ιουδα και τους δυναστας και τους ιερεις και τον λαον
[20] [41:20] και δωσω αυτους τοις εχθροις αυτων και εσται τα θνησιμαια αυτων βρωσις τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και τοις θηριοις της γης
[21] [41:21] και τον σεδεκιαν βασιλεα της ιουδαιας και τους αρχοντας αυτων δωσω εις χειρας εχθρων αυτων και δυναμις βασιλεως βαβυλωνος τοις αποτρεχουσιν απ αυτων
[22] [41:22] ιδου εγω συντασσω φησιν κυριος και επιστρεψω αυτους εις την γην ταυτην και πολεμησουσιν επ αυτην και λημψονται αυτην και κατακαυσουσιν αυτην εν πυρι και τας πολεις ιουδα και δωσω αυτας ερημους απο κατοικουντων
