Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 40

KJV

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ after that³¹⁰ Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ had let him go⁷⁹⁷¹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ when he had taken³⁹⁴⁷ him being bound⁶³¹ in chains²⁴⁶ among⁸⁴³² all³⁶⁰⁵ that were carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ which were carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ unto Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

2  And the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ hath pronounced^{1696 853} this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

3  Now the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath brought⁹³⁵ it, and done⁶²¹³ according as⁸³⁴ he hath said:¹⁶⁹⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ ye have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and have not³⁸⁰⁸ obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ therefore this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is come¹⁹⁶¹ upon you.

4  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I loose⁶⁶⁰⁵ thee this day³¹¹⁷ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the chains²⁴⁶ which⁸³⁴ were upon⁵⁹²¹ thine hand.³⁰²⁷ If⁵¹⁸ it seem good unto thee^{2896 5869} to come⁹³⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ me into Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ come;⁹³⁵ and I will look well^{7760 853 5869} unto⁵⁹²¹ thee: but if⁵¹⁸ it seem ill unto thee^{7489 5869} to come⁹³⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ me into Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ forbear:²³⁰⁸ behold,⁷²⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ is before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee: whither⁴¹³ it seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ good²⁸⁹⁶ and convenient³⁴⁷⁷ for thee to go,¹⁹⁸⁰ thither⁸⁰³³ go.¹⁹⁸⁰

5  Now while he was not³⁸⁰⁸ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ gone back,⁷⁷²⁵ he said, Go back⁷⁷²⁵ also to⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ whom⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ hath made governor⁶⁴⁸⁵ over the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ him among⁸⁴³² the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ or¹⁷⁶ go¹⁹⁸⁰ wheresoever^{413 3605} it seemeth⁵⁸⁶⁹ convenient³⁴⁷⁷ unto thee to go.¹⁹⁸⁰ So the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him victuals⁷³⁷ and a reward,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and let him go.⁷⁹⁷¹

6  Then went⁹³⁵ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ to Mizpah;⁴⁷⁰⁸ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ him among⁸⁴³² the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

7  Now when all³⁶⁰⁵ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the forces²⁴²⁸ which⁸³⁴ were in the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ even they¹⁹⁹² and their men,³⁷⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ had made ⁸⁵³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ governor⁶⁴⁸⁵ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and³⁵⁸⁸ had committed⁶⁴⁸⁵ unto⁸⁵⁴ him men,³⁷⁶ and women,⁸⁰² and children,²⁹⁴⁵ and of the poor^{4480 1803} of the land,⁷⁷⁶ of them that^{4480 834} were not³⁸⁰⁸ carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ to Babylon;⁸⁹⁴

8  Then they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ to Mizpah,⁴⁷⁰⁸ even Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ and Johanan³¹¹⁰ and Jonathan³¹²⁹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Kareah,⁷¹⁴³ and Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Tanhumeth,⁸⁵⁷⁶ and the sons¹¹²¹ of Ephai⁵⁷⁷⁸ the Netophathite,⁵²⁰⁰ and Jezaniah³¹⁵³ the son¹¹²¹ of a Maachathite,⁴⁶⁰² they¹⁹⁹² and their men.³⁷⁶

9  And Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan⁸²²⁷ swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them and to their men,³⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fear³³⁷² not⁴⁰⁸ to serve^{4480 5647} the Chaldeans:³⁷⁷⁸ dwell³⁴²⁷ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and serve^{5647 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and it shall be well³¹⁹⁰ with you.

10  As for me,⁵⁸⁹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will dwell³⁴²⁷ at Mizpah⁴⁷⁰⁹ to serve^{5975 6440} the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ will come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ us: but ye,⁸⁵⁹ gather⁶²² ye wine,³¹⁹⁶ and summer fruits,⁷⁰¹⁹ and oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ them in your vessels,³⁶²⁷ and dwell³⁴²⁷ in your cities⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ ye have taken.⁸⁶¹⁰

11  Likewise¹⁵⁷¹ when all³⁶⁰⁵ the Jews³⁰⁶⁴ that⁸³⁴ were in Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and among the Ammonites,^{1121 5983} and in Edom,¹²³ and that⁸³⁴ were in all³⁶⁰⁵ the countries,⁷⁷⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ had left⁵⁴¹⁴ a remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and that³⁵⁸⁸ he had set⁶⁴⁸⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ them ⁸⁵³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan;⁸²²⁷

12  Even all³⁶⁰⁵ the Jews³⁰⁶⁴ returned⁷⁷²⁵ out of all^{4480 3605} places⁴⁷²⁵ whither^{834 8033} they were driven,⁵⁰⁸⁰ and came⁹³⁵ to the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ to⁴¹³ Gedaliah,¹⁴³⁶ unto Mizpah,⁴⁷⁰⁸ and gathered⁶²² wine³¹⁹⁶ and summer fruits⁷⁰¹⁹ very³⁹⁶⁶ much.⁷³³⁵

13  Moreover Johanan³¹¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Kareah,⁷¹⁴³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the forces²⁴²⁸ that⁸³⁴ were in the fields,⁷⁷⁰⁴ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ to Mizpah,⁴⁷⁰⁸

14  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Dost thou certainly know^{3045 3045} that³⁵⁸⁸ Baalis¹¹⁸⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Ammonites^{1121 5983} hath sent^{7971 853} Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nethaniah⁵⁴¹⁸ to slay^{5221 5315} thee? But Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ believed⁵³⁹ them not.³⁸⁰⁸

15  Then Johanan³¹¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Kareah⁷¹⁴³ spoke⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ in Mizpah⁴⁷⁰⁹ secretly,⁵⁶⁴³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let me go,¹⁹⁸⁰ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and I will slay^{5221 853} Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ and no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ it: wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ should he slay^{5221 5315} thee, that all³⁶⁰⁵ the Jews³⁰⁶³ which are gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee should be scattered,⁶³²⁷ and the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ perish?⁶

16  But Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam²⁹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Johanan³¹¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Kareah,⁷¹⁴³ Thou shalt not⁴⁰⁸ do^{6213 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing:¹⁶⁹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ speakest¹⁶⁹⁶ falsely⁸²⁶⁷ of⁴¹³ Ishmael.³⁴⁵⁸

1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν δεύτερον καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἔτι δεδεμένος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων

2 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ποιῶν γῆν καὶ πλάσσων αὐτὴν τοῦ ἀνορθῶσαι αὐτήν κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ

3 κέκραξον πρός με καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαί σοι καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρά ἃ οὐκ ἔγνως αὐτά

4 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ περὶ οἴκων τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ περὶ οἴκων βασιλέως Ιουδα τῶν καθῃρημένων εἰς χάρακας καὶ προμαχῶνας

5 τοῦ μάχεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ πληρῶσαι αὐτὴν τῶν νεκρῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων οὓς ἐπάταξα ἐν ὀργῇ μου καὶ ἐν θυμῷ μου καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν περὶ πασῶν τῶν πονηριῶν αὐτῶν

6 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀνάγω αὐτῇ συνούλωσιν καὶ ἴαμα καὶ φανερώσω αὐτοῖς εἰσακούειν καὶ ἰατρεύσω αὐτὴν καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς εἰρήνην καὶ πίστιν

7 καὶ ἐπιστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ιουδα καὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν Ισραηλ καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καθὼς τὸ πρότερον

8 καὶ καθαριῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἡμάρτοσάν μοι καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἥμαρτόν μοι καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ

9 καὶ ἔσται εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ εἰς αἴνεσιν καὶ εἰς μεγαλειότητα παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς οἵτινες ἀκούσονται πάντα τὰ ἀγαθά ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ πικρανθήσονται περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ περὶ πάσης τῆς εἰρήνης ἧς ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς

10 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἔτι ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ᾧ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ἔρημός ἐστιν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτηνῶν ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ιερουσαλημ ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη

11 φωνὴ εὐφροσύνης καὶ φωνὴ χαρμοσύνης φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴ νύμφης φωνὴ λεγόντων ἐξομολογεῖσθε κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι ὅτι χρηστὸς κύριος ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσοίσουσιν δῶρα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ὅτι ἀποστρέψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης κατὰ τὸ πρότερον εἶπεν κύριος

12 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ἔτι ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ τῷ ἐρήμῳ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταλύματα ποιμένων κοιταζόντων πρόβατα

13 ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Σεφηλα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Ναγεβ καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κύκλῳ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα ἔτι παρελεύσεται πρόβατα ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀριθμοῦντος εἶπεν κύριος

1 Sermo qui factus est ad Jeremiam a Domino, postquam dimissus est a Nabuzardan magistro militiæ de Rama, quando tulit eum vinctum catenis in medio omnium qui migrabant de Jerusalem et Juda, et ducebantur in Babylonem.

2 Tollens ergo princeps militiæ Jeremiam, dixit ad eum: Dominus Deus tuus locutus est malum hoc super locum istum:

3 et adduxit, et fecit Dominus sicut locutus est, quia peccastis Domino, et non audistis vocem ejus: et factus est vobis sermo hic.

4 Nunc ergo ecce solvi te hodie de catenis quæ sunt in manibus tuis: si placet tibi ut venias mecum in Babylonem, veni, et ponam oculos meos super te: si autem displicet tibi venire mecum in Babylonem, reside: ecce omnis terra in conspectu tuo est: quod elegeris, et quo placuerit tibi ut vadas, illuc perge:

5 et mecum noli venire, sed habita apud Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan, quem præposuit rex Babylonis civitatibus Juda: habita ergo cum eo in medio populi: vel quocumque placuerit tibi ut vadas, vade. Dedit quoque ei magister militiæ cibaria et munuscula, et dimisit eum.

6 Venit autem Jeremias ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Masphath, et habitavit cum eo in medio populi qui relictus fuerat in terra.

7 Cumque audissent omnes principes exercitus, qui dispersi fuerant per regiones, ipsi et socii eorum, quod præfecisset rex Babylonis Godoliam filium Ahicam terræ, et quod commendasset ei viros, et mulieres, et parvulos, et de pauperibus terræ, qui non fuerant translati in Babylonem,

8 venerunt ad Godoliam in Masphath, et Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et Johanan et Jonathan filii Caree, et Sareas filius Thanehumeth, et filii Ophi, qui erant de Netophathi, et Jezonias filius Maachathi, ipsi et viri eorum.

9 Et juravit eis Godolias filius Ahicam filii Saphan, et comitibus eorum, dicens: Nolite timere servire Chaldæis: habitate in terra, et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.

10 Ecce ego habito in Masphath, ut respondeam præcepto Chaldæorum qui mittuntur ad nos: vos autem colligite vindemiam, et messem, et oleum, et condite in vasis vestris, et manete in urbibus vestris quas tenetis.

11 Sed et omnes Judæi qui erant in Moab, et in filiis Ammon, et in Idumæa, et in universis regionibus, audito quod dedisset rex Babylonis reliquias in Judæa, et quod præposuisset super eos Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan,

12 reversi sunt, inquam, omnes Judæi de universis locis ad quæ profugerant, et venerunt in terram Juda ad Godoliam in Masphath, et collegerunt vinum et messem multam nimis.

13 Johanan autem filius Caree, et omnes principes exercitus qui dispersi fuerant in regionibus, venerunt ad Godoliam in Masphath,

14 et dixerunt ei: Scito quod Baalis, rex filiorum Ammon, misit Ismahel filium Nathaniæ percutere animam tuam. Et non credidit eis Godolias filius Ahicam.

15 Johanan autem filius Caree dixit ad Godoliam seorsum in Masphath, loquens: Ibo, et percutiam Ismahel filium Nathaniæ, nullo sciente, ne interficiat animam tuam, et dissipentur omnes Judæi qui congregati sunt ad te, et peribunt reliquiæ Juda.

16 Et ait Godolias filius Ahicam ad Johanan filium Caree: Noli facere verbum hoc: falsum enim tu loqueris de Ismahel.
