Jeremiah 32
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1The word that was on Jeremiah from before LORD JEHOVAH in the tenth year of Tsedeqiah, King of Judea, which was the eighteenth year for Nebukadnetsar as King of Babel 2And then the army of the King of Babel surrounded Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the Prophet was shut up in the court of the Guard of the house of the King of Judea 3For Tsedeqia King of Judea had shut him up and he said: “Why do you prophesy and say, ‘Thus says LORD JEHOVAH, behold, I deliver this city into the hands of the King of Babel, and he shall enslave it 4And Tsedeqia, King of Judea, shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, because he shall certainly be handed over into the hand of the King of Babel, and his mouth shall speak with his mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes 5And he shall bring Tsedeqiah to Babel, and he shall be there until the day that I command him, says LORD JEHOVAH, for you shall fight with the Chaldeans and you shall not win!”

6And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon Jeremiah saying: 7“Behold, Nakhmeil, son of Shallum, your father’s brother, is coming to you and says: ‘Buy for yourself my field that is in Anathuth, that is in the land of Benyamin, because it is your right to buy the inheritance’” 8And Nakhmeil, son of my father’s brother, came to me, according to the word of LORD JEHOVAH, to the court of the Guard, and he said to me: “Buy for yourself my field that is in Anathuth, that is in the land of Benyamin, because it is your inheritance right, and it is proper for you. Buy it for yourself!” And I knew that his statement was of LORD JEHOVAH

9And I bought the field from Nakhmeil, son of my father’s brother, that is in Anathuth, and I weighed silver for him, seven silver shekels and ten of silver 10And I wrote a deed and I ratified and I summoned witnesses and I weighed the silver in a balance 11And I took the deed of purchase that was sealed by commandment and by the law and one which was not sealed 12And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruk, son of Neriah, son of Massia, before the eyes of Nakhmeil, son of my father’s brother, and before the eyes of witnesses who are written in the deed of purchase, and before the eyes of all the Jews who were sitting in the court of the Guard 13And I ordered Baruk before their eyes 14And I said, ”Thus says LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts, God of Israel: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of a purchase that is sealed, and this that is not sealed, and cast them into a vessel of a potter that will be kept many days 15For thus says LORD JEHOVAH of hosts, God of Israel, therefore houses shall be bought and fields and vineyards in this land”

16And I prayed before LORD JEHOVAH after I gave the deed of purchase to Baruk, son of Neriah, and I prayed in front of LORD JEHOVAH, and I said 17“I beg you, LORD JEHOVAH, God: behold, you have made Heaven and Earth by your great power and by your high arm, and no matter hides from before you 18Practicing grace to thousands of generations; repaying the sins of fathers to the bosom of their sons after them. The great God and The Mighty and Awesome LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts is his name! 19Whose thoughts are great and his works are abundant, and his eyes are opened on all the ways of the children of men, that you will give to a man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his works 20For you have done signs and great wonders in the land of Egypt until today for Israel among the children of men, and you have made for yourself The Name as it is today 21And you brought your people Israel from the land of Egypt, by signs, and by wonders, and by a mighty hand, and by a raised arm, and a great spectacle 22And you have given to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give them, the land that flows milk and honey 23And they came and they possessed it and they did not listen to your voice, and in your law they did not walk, and everything that you commanded them to do, they did not do, and all this evil has met with them 24Behold, the ambushes came against this city to seize it, and the city was handed over into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, before the sword and famine and plagues. And the thing that you said has happened, and behold I have seen it! 25And you have said to me, LORD JEHOVAH, God of Hosts: ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and summon witnesses’, and behold, the city is handed over into the hand of the Chaldeans!”

26And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was on Jeremiah saying: 27“I AM LORD JEHOVAH, God of all flesh. Does anything hide from before me? 28Because of this, thus says LORD JEHOVAH God: ‘Behold, I hand over this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebukadnetsar, King of Babel, and he shall enslave it 29And the Chaldeans shall come and they shall make war on this city, and they shall overthrow this city, and they shall burn her in fire and the houses on whose rooftops they have set incense for Baal, and they have poured out a drink offering to other gods, that they would anger me 30Because the children of Israel and the children of Yehuda have been doing what is evil before me from their youth, because the children of Israel anger me by the work of their hands, says LORD JEHOVAH 31And because of them, my anger and my passion was against this city from the day they built it, and unto today, to remove it from before my face 32Because of all the evils of the children of Israel and of the children of Yehuda that they had done to anger me, they and their Kings, and their Rulers, and their Priests, and their Prophets, the men of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem 33And they turned their back to me, and not their faces, and I taught them; I arose early and I taught and they did not listen to receive instruction 34And they placed their abominations in the house upon which my name is called, and they have defiled it 35And they built high places to Baal in Taphat, which is in the valley of BarHennom, to burn their sons and their daughters for Amlek that I have not commanded them and I did not set on my heart that they would do this abomination, and they would cause Yehuda to sin

36Now, thus says LORD JEHOVAH, God of Israel about this city that you say is handed over into the hand of the King of Babel, by the sword, and with starvation, and with plague 37Behold, I gather them from all lands where I led them in my passion and in my anger, in great passion, and I shall lead them to this region, and I shall settle them in quietness 38And they shall be to me a people, and I shall be to them God 39And I shall give to them a new heart and a new spirit, to be in awe before me all the days, and it shall be well for them, and for their children after them 40And I shall raise up to them an eternal covenant that I shall not turn away from them to do good to them, and my awe I shall put into their heart, that they shall not turn aside from me 41And I shall make them rejoice and it shall be well with them, and I shall plant them in this land in the truth, with all my heart and with all my soul 42Thus says LORD JEHOVAH: “As I brought on this people all this great evil, so I bring upon them all the good that I say concerning them 43And fields shall be bought in this land of which you say, ‘It is desolate of sons of man and beast, and it is delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans’ 44They shall sell fields with silver and they shall write deeds, and they shall sign them and they shall summon witnesses in the land of Benyamin and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the villages of Judea and in the villages of the mountains, and in the villages of the plain, and in the villages of the south, and I shall return their captivity, says LORD JEHOVAH
