  1. 1Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;וְאֵ֨לֶּה֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י הַסֵּ֔פֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁלַ֛ח יִרְמְיָ֥ה הַנָּבִ֖יא מִירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם אֶל יֶ֜תֶר זִקְנֵ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֗ה וְאֶל הַכֹּהֲנִ֤ים וְאֶל הַנְּבִיאִים֙ וְאֶל כָּל הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֶגְלָ֧ה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּ֛ר מִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה
  2. 2(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)אַחֲרֵ֣י צֵ֣את יְכָנְיָֽה הַ֠מֶּלֶךְ וְהַגְּבִירָ֨ה וְהַסָּרִיסִ֜ים שָׂרֵ֨י יְהוּדָ֧ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֛ם וְהֶחָרָ֥שׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּ֖ר מִירוּשָׁלִָֽם
  3. 3By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,בְּיַד֙ אֶלְעָשָׂ֣ה בֶן שָׁפָ֔ן וּגְמַרְיָ֖ה בֶּן חִלְקִיָּ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁלַ֜ח צִדְקִיָּ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ יְהוּדָ֗ה אֶל נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּ֛ר מֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶ֖ל בָּבֶ֥לָה לֵאמֹֽר
  4. 4Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֛ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְכָל הַ֨גּוֹלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר הִגְלֵ֥יתִי מִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה
  5. 5Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;בְּנ֥וּ בָתִּ֖ים וְשֵׁ֑בוּ וְנִטְע֣וּ גַנּ֔וֹת וְאִכְל֖וּ אֶת פִּרְיָֽן
  6. 6Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.קְח֣וּ נָשִׁ֗ים וְהוֹלִידוּ֮ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנוֹת֒ וּקְח֨וּ לִבְנֵיכֶ֜ם נָשִׁ֗ים וְאֶת בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ תְּנ֣וּ לַֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְתֵלַ֖דְנָה בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֑וֹת וּרְבוּ שָׁ֖ם וְאַל תִּמְעָֽטוּ
  7. 7And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.וְדִרְשׁ֞וּ אֶת שְׁל֣וֹם הָעִ֗יר אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִגְלֵ֤יתִי אֶתְכֶם֙ שָׁ֔מָּה וְהִתְפַּֽלְל֥וּ בַעֲדָ֖הּ אֶל יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֣י בִשְׁלוֹמָ֔הּ יִהְיֶ֥ה שָׁלֽוֹם
  8. 8For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.כִּי֩ כֹ֨ה אָמַ֜ר יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַל יַשִּׁ֧יאוּ נְבִֽיאֵיכֶ֥ם אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֖ם וְקֹֽסְמֵיכֶ֑ם וְאַֽל תִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ אֶל חֲלֹמֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֖ם מַחְלְמִֽים
  9. 9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.כִּ֣י בְשֶׁ֔קֶר הֵ֛ם נִבְּאִ֥ים בִּשְׁמִ֑י לֹ֥א שְׁלַחְתִּ֖ים נְאֻם יְהוָֽה
  10. 10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.כִּֽי כֹה֙ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֠י לְפִ֞י מְלֹ֧את לְבָבֶ֛ל שִׁבְעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה אֶפְקֹ֣ד אֶתְכֶ֑ם וַהֲקִמֹתִ֤י עֲלֵיכֶם֙ אֶת דְּבָרִ֣י הַטּ֔וֹב לְהָשִׁ֣יב אֶתְכֶ֔ם אֶל הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה
  11. 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.כִּי֩ אָנֹכִ֨י יָדַ֜עְתִּי אֶת הַמַּחֲשָׁבֹ֗ת אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י חֹשֵׁ֥ב עֲלֵיכֶ֖ם נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה מַחְשְׁב֤וֹת שָׁלוֹם֙ וְלֹ֣א לְרָעָ֔ה לָתֵ֥ת אַחֲרִ֥ית וְתִקְוָֽה
  12. 12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.וּקְרָאתֶ֤ם אֹתִי֙ וַֽהֲלַכְתֶּ֔ם וְהִתְפַּלַּלְתֶּ֖ם אֵלָ֑י וְשָׁמַעְתִּ֖י אֲלֵיכֶֽם
  13. 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י וּמְצָאתֶ֑ם כִּ֥י תִדְרְשֻׁ֖נִי בְּכָל לְבַבְכֶֽם
  14. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.וְנִמְצֵ֣אתִי נְאֻם יְהוָה֒ וְשַׁבְתִּ֣י אֶת שביתכם שְׁבוּתְכֶ֗ם וְקִבַּצְתִּ֣י אֶ֠תְכֶם מִֽכָּל הַגּוֹיִ֞ם וּמִכָּל הַמְּקוֹמ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִדַּ֧חְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֛ם שָׁ֖ם נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֣י אֶתְכֶ֔ם אֶל הַ֨מָּק֔וֹם אֲשֶׁר הִגְלֵ֥יתִי אֶתְכֶ֖ם מִשָּֽׁם
  15. 15Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;כִּ֖י אֲמַרְתֶּ֑ם הֵקִ֨ים יְהוָ֛ה נְבִאִ֖ים בָּבֶֽלָה
  16. 16Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;כִּי כֹ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אֶל הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הַיּוֹשֵׁב֙ אֶל כִּסֵּ֣א דָוִ֔ד וְאֶל כָּל הָעָ֔ם הַיּוֹשֵׁ֖ב בָּעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֑את אֲחֵיכֶ֕ם אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹֽא יָצְא֥וּ אִתְּכֶ֖ם בַּגּוֹלָֽה
  17. 17Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הִנְנִי֙ מְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ אֶת הַחֶ֖רֶב אֶת הָרָעָ֣ב וְאֶת הַדָּ֑בֶר וְנָתַתִּ֣י אוֹתָ֗ם כַּתְּאֵנִים֙ הַשֹּׁ֣עָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא תֵאָכַ֖לְנָה מֵרֹֽעַ
  18. 18And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:וְרָֽדַפְתִּי֙ אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֔ם בַּחֶ֖רֶב בָּרָעָ֣ב וּבַדָּ֑בֶר וּנְתַתִּ֨ים לזועה לְזַעֲוָ֜ה לְכֹ֣ל מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הָאָ֗רֶץ לְאָלָ֤ה וּלְשַׁמָּה֙ וְלִשְׁרֵקָ֣ה וּלְחֶרְפָּ֔ה בְּכָל הַגּוֹיִ֖ם אֲשֶׁר הִדַּחְתִּ֥ים שָֽׁם
  19. 19Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.תַּ֛חַת אֲשֶֽׁר לֹא שָׁמְע֥וּ אֶל דְּבָרַ֖י נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֩ שָׁלַ֨חְתִּי אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם אֶת עֲבָדַ֤י הַנְּבִאִים֙ הַשְׁכֵּ֣ם וְשָׁלֹ֔חַ וְלֹ֥א שְׁמַעְתֶּ֖ם נְאֻם יְהוָֽה
  20. 20Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:וְאַתֶּ֖ם שִׁמְע֣וּ דְבַר יְהוָ֑ה כָּל הַ֨גּוֹלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר שִׁלַּ֥חְתִּי מִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה
  21. 21Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;כֹּֽה אָמַר֩ יְהוָ֨ה צְבָא֜וֹת אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל אַחְאָ֤ב בֶּן קֽוֹלָיָה֙ וְאֶל צִדְקִיָּ֣הוּ בֶן מַֽעֲשֵׂיָ֔ה הַֽנִּבְּאִ֥ים בִּשְׁמִ֖י שָׁ֑קֶר הִנְנִ֣י נֹתֵ֣ן אֹתָ֗ם בְּיַד֙ נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֣ר מֶֽלֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וְהִכָּ֖ם לְעֵינֵיכֶֽם
  22. 22And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;וְלֻקַּ֤ח קְלָלָ֔ה לְכֹל֙ גָּל֣וּת יְהוּדָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּבָבֶ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר יְשִֽׂמְךָ֤ יְהוָה֙ כְּצִדְקִיָּ֣הוּ וּכְאֶחָ֔ב אֲשֶׁר קָלָ֥ם מֶֽלֶךְ בָּבֶ֖ל בָּאֵֽשׁ
  23. 23Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.יַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁר֩ עָשׂ֨וּ נְבָלָ֜ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וַיְנַֽאֲפוּ֙ אֶת נְשֵׁ֣י רֵֽעֵיהֶ֔ם וַיְדַבְּר֨וּ דָבָ֤ר בִּשְׁמִי֙ שֶׁ֔קֶר אֲשֶׁ֖ר ל֣וֹא צִוִּיתִ֑ם וְאָנֹכִ֛י הו ידע הַיּוֹדֵ֥עַ וָעֵ֖ד נְאֻם יְהוָֽה
  24. 24Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,וְאֶל שְׁמַעְיָ֥הוּ הַנֶּחֱלָמִ֖י תֹּאמַ֥ר לֵאמֹֽר
  25. 25Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,כֹּֽה אָמַ֞ר יְהוָ֧ה צְבָא֛וֹת אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר יַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁ֣ר אַתָּה֩ שָׁלַ֨חְתָּ בְשִׁמְכָ֜ה סְפָרִ֗ים אֶל כָּל הָעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֔ם וְאֶל צְפַנְיָ֤ה בֶן מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְאֶ֥ל כָּל הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים לֵאמֹֽר
  26. 26The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.יְהוָ֞ה נְתָנְךָ֣ כֹהֵ֗ן תַּ֚חַת יְהוֹיָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵ֔ן לִֽהְי֤וֹת פְּקִדִים֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה לְכָל אִ֥ישׁ מְשֻׁגָּ֖ע וּמִתְנַבֵּ֑א וְנָתַתָּ֥ה אֹת֛וֹ אֶל הַמַּהְפֶּ֖כֶת וְאֶל הַצִּינֹֽק
  27. 27Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?וְעַתָּ֗ה לָ֚מָּה לֹ֣א גָעַ֔רְתָּ בְּיִרְמְיָ֖הוּ הָֽעֲנְּתֹתִ֑י הַמִּתְנַבֵּ֖א
  28. 28For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.כִּ֣י עַל כֵּ֞ן שָׁלַ֥ח אֵלֵ֛ינוּ בָּבֶ֥ל לֵאמֹ֖ר אֲרֻכָּ֣ה הִ֑יא בְּנ֤וּ בָתִּים֙ וְשֵׁ֔בוּ וְנִטְע֣וּ גַנּ֔וֹת וְאִכְל֖וּ אֶת פְּרִיהֶֽן
  29. 29And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.וַיִּקְרָ֛א צְפַנְיָ֥ה הַכֹּהֵ֖ן אֶת הַסֵּ֣פֶר הַזֶּ֑ה בְּאָזְנֵ֖י יִרְמְיָ֥הוּ הַנָּבִֽיא
  30. 30Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר יְהוָ֔ה אֶֽל יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ לֵאמֹֽר
  31. 31Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:שְׁלַ֤ח עַל כָּל הַגּוֹלָה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל שְׁמַעְיָ֖ה הַנֶּחֱלָמִ֑י יַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁר֩ נִבָּ֨א שְׁמַעְיָ֗ה וַֽאֲנִי֙ לֹ֣א שְׁלַחְתִּ֔יו וַיַּבְטַ֥ח אֶתְכֶ֖ם עַל שָֽׁקֶר
  32. 32Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.לָכֵ֞ן כֹּֽה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה הִנְנִ֨י פֹקֵ֜ד עַל שְׁמַעְיָ֣ה הַנֶּחֱלָמִי֮ וְעַל זַרְעוֹ֒ לֹא יִהְיֶ֨ה אִ֣ישׁ יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בְּתוֹךְ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֗ה וְלֹֽא יִרְאֶ֥ה בַטּ֛וֹב אֲשֶׁר אֲנִ֥י עֹשֶֽׂה לְעַמִּ֖י נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה כִּֽי סָרָ֥ה דִבֶּ֖ר עַל יְהוָֽה
