Jeremiah 43 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 It happened that, when Yaramayah (Jeremiah) kalah (complete / finish) made an end of dabar (word / matter) to all the im (nation / people) all the dabaray (words) of Yahawah () their Alahayam (), with which Yahawah () their Alahayam () had shalach (send) him to them, even all these dabaray (words),

2 Then amar (spoke) Izarayah (Azariah) the ban (son) of Hawashaiyah (Hoshaiah), and Yawachanan (Johanan) the ban (son) of Qarach (Kareah), and all the zad (proud) ban (son), amar (spoke) to Yaramayah (Jeremiah), “You dabar (word / matter) falsely: Yahawah () our Alahayam () has not shalach (send) you to amar (spoke), ‘You shall not bawaa (come) into Matzarayam (Egypt) to live there;’

3 But Barawak (blessed be) the ban (son) of Narayah (Neriah) sawath (sets) you on against us, to nathan (give) us into the yad (hand) of the Kashaday (Chaldeans), that they may put us to mawath (death), and galah (carry) us away captive to Babal (Babylon).”

4 So Yawachanan (Johanan) the ban (son) of Qarach (Kareah), and all the sharay (captains) of the chayalayam (forces), and all the im (nation / people), didn't shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice) of Yahawah (), to yashab (inhabit/dwell) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Yahawadah (Judah).

5 But Yawachanan (Johanan) the ban (son) of Qarach (Kareah), and all the sharay (captains) of the chayalayam (forces), laqach (take / seize) all the shaarayath (remnant) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), who were shawab (turn) from all the gawayam (heathen) where they had been nadach (driven), to live in the aratz (Earth/land) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah);

6 The gabarayam (men), and the nashayam (women), and the tap (children), and the malak (king) banawath (daughters), and every napash (soul) who Nabawazaraadan (Nebuzaradan) the rab (captain) of the tabach (guard) had yanach (left) with Gadalayah (Gedaliah) the ban (son) of Achayaqam (Ahikam), the ban (son) of Shapan (Shaphan); and Yaramayah (Jeremiah) the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy), and Barawak (blessed be) the ban (son) of Narayah (Neriah);

7 And they bawaa (come) into the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt); for they didn't shamai (hearken / hear) the qawal (sound / voice) of Yahawah (): and they bawaa (come) to Thachapanachas (Tahpanhes).

8 Then came the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () to Yaramayah (Jeremiah) in Thachapanachas (Tahpanhes), amar (spoke),

9 “Laqach (take / seize) gadawal (very great/important/mighty) abanayam (stones) in your yad (hand), and taman (hide) them in mortar in the brick malaban (work), which is at the entry of Paraih (Pharaoh's) bayath (house) in Thachapanachas (Tahpanhes), in the iyan (eye) of the gadalawath (men) of Yahawaday (Judah);

10 And amar (spoke) them, Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel): ‘Behold, I will shalach (send) and laqach (take / seize) Nabawakadanaatzar (Nebuchadnezzar) the malak (king) of Babal (Babylon), my ibad (servant), and will shawam (place / establish / appoint) his kasaa (throne) on these abanayam (stones) that I have taman (hidden); and he shall natah (spread) his shaparawar (royal) pavilion over them.

11 He shall bawaa (bring), and shall nakah (strike) the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt); such as are for mawath (death) shall be put to mawath (death), and such as are for shabay (captivity) to shabay (captivity), and such as are for the charab (sword) to the charab (sword).

12 I will yatzath (kindle) a ash (fire) in the bathay (houses) of the Alahayam () of Matzarayam (Egypt); and he shall sharap (burn) them, and shabah (carry) them away captive: and he shall itah (array) himself with the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt), as a raih (shepherd) itah (puts) on his bagad (garment); and he shall yatzaa (go out / come out) forth from there in shalawam (peace / safety).

13 He shall also shabar (break) the matzabawath (pillars) of Bayath-Shamash (Beth Shemesh), that is in the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Egypt); and the bathay (houses) of the Alahayam () of Matzarayam (Egypt) shall he sharap (burn) with ash (fire).’”
