| א וַיִּשְׁמַע פַּשְׁחוּר בֶּן-אִמֵּר הַכֹּהֵן, וְהוּא-פָקִיד נָגִיד בְּבֵית יְהוָה, אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ, נִבָּא אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה. | 1 Now Pashhur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. |
| ב וַיַּכֶּה פַשְׁחוּר, אֵת יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא; וַיִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ עַל-הַמַּהְפֶּכֶת, אֲשֶׁר בְּשַׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן הָעֶלְיוֹן, אֲשֶׁר, בְּבֵית יְהוָה. | 2 Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD. |
| ג וַיְהִי, מִמָּחֳרָת, וַיֹּצֵא פַשְׁחוּר אֶת-יִרְמְיָהוּ, מִן-הַמַּהְפָּכֶת; וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יִרְמְיָהוּ, לֹא פַשְׁחוּר קָרָא יְהוָה שְׁמֶךָ--כִּי, אִם-מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב. {ס} | 3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him: 'The LORD hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magormissabib. {S} |
| ד כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֶנְךָ לְמָגוֹר לְךָ וּלְכָל-אֹהֲבֶיךָ, וְנָפְלוּ בְּחֶרֶב אֹיְבֵיהֶם--וְעֵינֶיךָ רֹאוֹת; וְאֶת-כָּל-יְהוּדָה, אֶתֵּן בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ-בָּבֶל, וְהִגְלָם בָּבֶלָה, וְהִכָּם בֶּחָרֶב. | 4 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. |
| ה וְנָתַתִּי, אֶת-כָּל-חֹסֶן הָעִיר הַזֹּאת, וְאֶת-כָּל-יְגִיעָהּ, וְאֶת-כָּל-יְקָרָהּ; וְאֵת כָּל-אוֹצְרוֹת מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה, אֶתֵּן בְּיַד אֹיְבֵיהֶם, וּבְזָזוּם וּלְקָחוּם, וֶהֱבִיאוּם בָּבֶלָה. | 5 Moreover I will give all the store of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the wealth thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. |
| ו וְאַתָּה פַשְׁחוּר, וְכֹל יֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶךָ, תֵּלְכוּ, בַּשֶּׁבִי; וּבָבֶל תָּבוֹא, וְשָׁם תָּמוּת וְשָׁם תִּקָּבֵר--אַתָּה וְכָל-אֹהֲבֶיךָ, אֲשֶׁר-נִבֵּאתָ לָהֶם בַּשָּׁקֶר. {פ} | 6 And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.' {P} |
| ז פִּתִּיתַנִי יְהוָה וָאֶפָּת, חֲזַקְתַּנִי וַתּוּכָל; הָיִיתִי לִשְׂחוֹק כָּל-הַיּוֹם, כֻּלֹּה לֹעֵג לִי. | 7 O LORD, Thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed, Thou hast overcome me, and hast prevailed; I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me. |
| ח כִּי-מִדֵּי אֲדַבֵּר אֶזְעָק, חָמָס וָשֹׁד אֶקְרָא: כִּי-הָיָה דְבַר-יְהוָה לִי לְחֶרְפָּה וּלְקֶלֶס, כָּל-הַיּוֹם. | 8 For as often as I speak, I cry out, I cry: 'Violence and spoil'; because the word of the LORD is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day. |
| ט וְאָמַרְתִּי לֹא-אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ, וְלֹא-אֲדַבֵּר עוֹד בִּשְׁמוֹ, וְהָיָה בְלִבִּי כְּאֵשׁ בֹּעֶרֶת, עָצֻר בְּעַצְמֹתָי; וְנִלְאֵיתִי כַּלְכֵל, וְלֹא אוּכָל. | 9 And if I say: 'I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name', then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I weary myself to hold it in, but cannot. |
| י כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי דִּבַּת רַבִּים, מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב, הַגִּידוּ וְנַגִּידֶנּוּ, כֹּל אֱנוֹשׁ שְׁלֹמִי שֹׁמְרֵי צַלְעִי; אוּלַי יְפֻתֶּה וְנוּכְלָה לוֹ, וְנִקְחָה נִקְמָתֵנוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. | 10 For I have heard the whispering of many, terror on every side: 'Denounce, and we will denounce him'; even of all my familiar friends, them that watch for my halting: 'Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.' |
| יא וַיהוָה אוֹתִי כְּגִבּוֹר עָרִיץ, עַל-כֵּן רֹדְפַי יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְלֹא יֻכָלוּ; בֹּשׁוּ מְאֹד כִּי-לֹא הִשְׂכִּילוּ, כְּלִמַּת עוֹלָם לֹא תִשָּׁכֵחַ. | 11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior; therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not prospered, even with an everlasting confusion which shall never be forgotten. |
| יב וַיהוָה צְבָאוֹת בֹּחֵן צַדִּיק, רֹאֶה כְלָיוֹת וָלֵב; אֶרְאֶה נִקְמָתְךָ מֵהֶם, כִּי אֵלֶיךָ גִּלִּיתִי אֶת-רִיבִי. {ס} | 12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see Thy vengeance on them; for unto Thee have I revealed my cause. {S} |
| יג שִׁירוּ, לַיהוָה--הַלְלוּ, אֶת-יְהוָה: כִּי הִצִּיל אֶת-נֶפֶשׁ אֶבְיוֹן, מִיַּד מְרֵעִים. {ס} | 13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD; for He hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers. {S} |
| יד אָרוּר הַיּוֹם, אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּדְתִּי בּוֹ: יוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יְלָדַתְנִי אִמִּי, אַל-יְהִי בָרוּךְ. | 14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born; the day wherein my mother bore me, let it not be blessed. |
| טו אָרוּר הָאִישׁ, אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂר אֶת-אָבִי לֵאמֹר, יֻלַּד-לְךָ, בֵּן זָכָר--שַׂמֵּחַ, שִׂמְּחָהוּ. | 15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying: 'A man-child is born unto thee'; making him very glad. |
| טז וְהָיָה הָאִישׁ הַהוּא, כֶּעָרִים אֲשֶׁר-הָפַךְ יְהוָה וְלֹא נִחָם; וְשָׁמַע זְעָקָה בַּבֹּקֶר, וּתְרוּעָה בְּעֵת צָהֳרָיִם. | 16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and an alarm at noontide; |
| יז אֲשֶׁר לֹא-מוֹתְתַנִי, מֵרָחֶם; וַתְּהִי-לִי אִמִּי קִבְרִי, וְרַחְמָה הֲרַת עוֹלָם. | 17 Because He slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. |
| יח לָמָּה זֶּה מֵרֶחֶם יָצָאתִי, לִרְאוֹת עָמָל וְיָגוֹן; וַיִּכְלוּ בְּבֹשֶׁת, יָמָי. {פ} | 18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame? {P} |
