예레미야 51장 [새번역] Jeremiah 51 [야곱의 분깃이신 주님은 그런 것들과는 전혀 다르시다. 그분은 만물의 조성자이시요...

1 This is what the LORD says: 'See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai. 1 כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי מֵעִיר עַל־בָּבֶל וְאֶל־יֹשְׁבֵי לֵב קָמָי רוּחַ מַשְׁחִית׃ 2 I will send foreigners to Babylon to winnow her and to devastate her land; they will oppose her on every side in the day of her disaster. 2 וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי לְבָבֶל זָרִים וְזֵרוּהָ וִיבֹקְקוּ אֶת־אַרְצָהּ כִּי־הָיוּ עָלֶיהָ מִסָּבִיב בְּיֹום רָעָה׃ 3 Let not the archer string his bow, nor let him put on his armor. Do not spare her young men; completely destroy her army. 3 אֶל־יִדְרֹךְ [כ= יִדְרֹךְ] [ק= זז] הַדֹּרֵךְ קַשְׁתֹּו וְאֶל־יִתְעַל בְּסִרְיֹנֹו וְאַל־תַּחְמְלוּ אֶל־בַּחֻרֶיהָ הַחֲרִימוּ כָּל־צְבָאָהּ׃ 4 They will fall down slain in Babylon, fatally wounded in her streets. 4 וְנָפְלוּ חֲלָלִים בְּאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים וּמְדֻקָּרִים בְּחוּצֹותֶיהָ׃ 5 For Israel and Judah have not been forsaken by their God, the LORD Almighty, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel. 5 כִּי לֹא־אַלְמָן יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה מֵאֱלֹהָיו מֵיְהוָה צְבָאֹות כִּי אַרְצָם מָלְאָה אָשָׁם מִקְּדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ 6 "Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the LORD's vengeance; he will pay her what she deserves. 6 נֻסוּ מִתֹּוךְ בָּבֶל וּמַלְּטוּ אִישׁ נַפְשֹׁו אַל־תִּדַּמּוּ בַּעֲוֹנָהּ כִּי עֵת נְקָמָה הִיא לַיהוָה גְּמוּל הוּא מְשַׁלֵּם לָהּ׃ 7 Babylon was a gold cup in the LORD's hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad. 7 כֹּוס־זָהָב בָּבֶל בְּיַד־יְהוָה מְשַׁכֶּרֶת כָּל־הָאָרֶץ מִיֵּינָהּ שָׁתוּ גֹויִם עַל־כֵּן יִתְהֹלְלוּ גֹויִם׃ 8 Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her! Get balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed. 8 פִּתְאֹם נָפְלָה בָבֶל וַתִּשָּׁבֵר הֵילִילוּ עָלֶיהָ קְחוּ צֳרִי לְמַכְאֹובָהּ אוּלַי תֵּרָפֵא׃ 9 " 'We would have healed Babylon, but she cannot be healed; let us leave her and each go to his own land, for her judgment reaches to the skies, it rises as high as the clouds.' 9 [כ= רִפִּאנוּ] [ק= רִפִּינוּ] אֶת־בָּבֶל וְלֹא נִרְפָּתָה עִזְבוּהָ וְנֵלֵךְ אִישׁ לְאַרְצֹו כִּי־נָגַע אֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם מִשְׁפָּטָהּ וְנִשָּׂא עַד־שְׁחָקִים׃ 10 " 'The LORD has vindicated us; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has done.' 10 הֹוצִיא יְהוָה אֶת־צִדְקֹתֵינוּ בֹּאוּ וּנְסַפְּרָה בְצִיֹּון אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ 11 'Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields! The LORD has stirred up the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The LORD will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple. 11 הָבֵרוּ הַחִצִּים מִלְאוּ הַשְּׁלָטִים הֵעִיר יְהוָה אֶת־רוּחַ מַלְכֵי מָדַי כִּי־עַל־בָּבֶל מְזִמָּתֹו לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ כִּי־נִקְמַת יְהוָה הִיא נִקְמַת הֵיכָלֹו׃ 12 Lift up a banner against the walls of Babylon! Reinforce the guard, station the watchmen, prepare an ambush! The LORD will carry out his purpose, his decree against the people of Babylon. 12 אֶל־חֹומֹת בָּבֶל שְׂאוּ־נֵס הַחֲזִיקוּ הַמִּשְׁמָר הָקִימוּ שֹׁמְרִים הָכִינוּ הָאֹרְבִים כִּי גַּם־זָםַם יְהוָה גַּם־עָשָׂה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֶל־יֹשְׁבֵי בָבֶל׃ 13 You who live by many waters and are rich in treasures, your end has come, the time for you to be cut off. 13 [כ= שֹׁכַנְתִּי] [ק= שֹׁכַנְתְּ] עַל־מַיִם רַבִּים רַבַּת אֹוצָרֹת בָּא קִצֵּךְ אַמַּת בִּצְעֵךְ׃ 14 The LORD Almighty has sworn by himself: I will surely fill you with men, as with a swarm of locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you. 14 נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה צְבָאֹות בְּנַפְשֹׁו כִּי אִם־מִלֵּאתִיךְ אָדָם כַּיֶּלֶק וְעָנוּ עָלַיִךְ הֵידָד׃ ס 15 'He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. 15 עֹשֵׂה אֶרֶץ בְּכֹחֹו מֵכִין תֵּבֵל בְּחָכְמָתֹו וּבִתְבוּנָתֹו נָטָה שָׁמָיִם׃ 16 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. 16 לְקֹול תִּתֹּו הֲמֹון מַיִם בַּשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּעַל נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה־אָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה וַיֹּצֵא רוּחַ מֵאֹצְרֹתָיו׃ 17 'Every man is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. 17 נִבְעַר כָּל־אָדָם מִדַּעַת הֹבִישׁ כָּל־צֹרֵף מִפָּסֶל כִּי שֶׁקֶר נִסְכֹּו וְלֹא־רוּחַ בָּם׃ 18 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish. 18 הֶבֶל הֵמָּה מַעֲשֵׂה תַּעְתֻּעִים בְּעֵת פְּקֻדָּתָם יֹאבֵדוּ׃ 19 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including the tribe of his inheritance-the LORD Almighty is his name. 19 לֹא־כְאֵלֶּה חֵלֶק יַעֲקֹוב כִּי־יֹוצֵר הַכֹּל הוּא וְשֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֹו יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁמֹו׃ ס 20 'You are my war club, my weapon for battle-with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, 20 מַפֵּץ־אַתָּה לִי כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָה וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ גֹּויִם וְהִשְׁחַתִּי בְךָ מַמְלָכֹות׃ 21 with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver, 21 וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ סוּס וְרֹכְבֹו וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ רֶכֶב וְרֹכְבֹו׃ 22 with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter young man and maiden, 22 וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ זָקֵן וָנָעַר וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ בָּחוּר וּבְתוּלָה׃ 23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock, with you I shatter farmer and oxen, with you I shatter governors and officials. 23 וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ רֹעֶה וְעֶדְרֹו וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ אִכָּר וְצִמְדֹּו וְנִפַּצְתִּי בְךָ פַּחֹות וּסְגָנִים׃ 24 'Before your eyes I will repay Babylon and all who live in Babylonia for all the wrong they have done in Zion,' declares the LORD. 24 וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לְבָבֶל וּלְכֹל יֹושְׁבֵי כַשְׂדִּים אֵת כָּל־רָעָתָם אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂוּ בְצִיֹּון לְעֵינֵיכֶם נְאֻם יְהוָה׃ ס 25 'I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who destroy the whole earth,' declares the LORD. 'I will stretch out my hand against you, roll you off the cliffs, and make you a burned-out mountain. 25 הִנְנִי אֵלֶיךָ הַר הַמַּשְׁחִית נְאֻם־יְהוָה הַמַּשְׁחִית אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וְנָטִיתִי אֶת־יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וְגִלְגַּלְתִּיךָ מִן־הַסְּלָעִים וּנְתַתִּיךָ לְהַר שְׂרֵפָה׃ 26 No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever,' declares the LORD. 26 וְלֹא־יִקְחוּ מִמְּךָ אֶבֶן לְפִנָּה וְאֶבֶן לְמֹוסָדֹות כִּי־שִׁמְמֹות עֹולָם תִּהְיֶה נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ 27 'Lift up a banner in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her; summon against her these kingdoms: Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her; send up horses like a swarm of locusts. 27 שְׂאוּ־נֵס בָּאָרֶץ תִּקְעוּ שֹׁופָר בַּגֹּויִם קַדְּשׁוּ עָלֶיהָ גֹּויִם הַשְׁמִיעוּ עָלֶיהָ מַמְלְכֹות אֲרָרַט מִנִּי וְאַשְׁכְּנָז פִּקְדוּ עָלֶיהָ טִפְסָר הַעֲלוּ־סוּס כְּיֶלֶק סָמָר׃ 28 Prepare the nations for battle against her-the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the countries they rule. 28 קַדְּשׁוּ עָלֶיהָ גֹויִם אֶת־מַלְכֵי מָדַי אֶת־פַּחֹותֶיהָ וְאֶת־כָּל־סְגָנֶיהָ וְאֵת כָּל־אֶרֶץ מֶמְשַׁלְתֹּו׃ 29 The land trembles and writhes, for the LORD's purposes against Babylon stand-to lay waste the land of Babylon so that no one will live there. 29 וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ וַתָּחֹל כִּי קָמָה עַל־בָּבֶל מַחְשְׁבֹות יְהוָה לָשׂוּם אֶת־אֶרֶץ בָּבֶל לְשַׁמָּה מֵאֵין יֹושֵׁב׃ 30 Babylon's warriors have stopped fighting; they remain in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Her dwellings are set on fire; the bars of her gates are broken. 30 חָדְלוּ גִבֹּורֵי בָבֶל לְהִלָּחֵם יָשְׁבוּ בַּמְּצָדֹות נָשְׁתָה גְבוּרָתָם הָיוּ לְנָשִׁים הִצִּיתוּ מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיהָ נִשְׁבְּרוּ בְרִיחֶיהָ׃ 31 One courier follows another and messenger follows messenger to announce to the king of Babylon that his entire city is captured, 31 רָץ לִקְרַאת־רָץ יָרוּץ וּמַגִּיד לִקְרַאת מַגִּיד לְהַגִּיד לְמֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל כִּי־נִלְכְּדָה עִירֹו מִקָּצֶה׃ 32 the river crossings seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers terrified.' 32 וְהַמַּעְבָּרֹות נִתְפָּשׂוּ וְאֶת־הָאֲגַמִּים שָׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ וְאַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה נִבְהָלוּ׃ ס 33 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled; the time to harvest her will soon come.' 33 כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּת־בָּבֶל כְּגֹרֶן עֵת הִדְרִיכָהּ עֹוד מְעַט וּבָאָה עֵת־הַקָּצִיר לָהּ׃ 34 'Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devoured us, he has thrown us into confusion, he has made us an empty jar. Like a serpent he has swallowed us and filled his stomach with our delicacies, and then has spewed us out. 34 [כ= אֲכָלָנוּ] [ק= אֲכָלַנִי] [כ= הֲמָמָנוּ] [ק= הֲמָמַנִי] נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל [כ= הִצִּיגָנוּ] [ק= הִצִּיגַנִי] כְּלִי רִיק [כ= בְּלָעָנוּ] [ק= בְּלָעַנִי] כַּתַּנִּין מִלָּא כְרֵשֹׂו מֵעֲדָנָי [כ= הֱדִיחָנוּ] [ק= הֱדִיחָנִי]׃ 35 May the violence done to our flesh be upon Babylon,' say the inhabitants of Zion. 'May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,' says Jerusalem. 35 חֲמָסִי וּשְׁאֵרִי עַל־בָּבֶל תֹּאמַר יֹשֶׁבֶת צִיֹּון וְדָמִי אֶל־יֹשְׁבֵי כַשְׂדִּים תֹּאמַר יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃ ס 36 Therefore, this is what the LORD says: 'See, I will defend your cause and avenge you; I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry. 36 לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי־רָב אֶת־רִיבֵךְ וְנִקַּמְתִּי אֶת־נִקְמָתֵךְ וְהַחֲרַבְתִּי אֶת־יַמָּהּ וְהֹבַשְׁתִּי אֶת־מְקֹורָהּ׃ 37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, an object of horror and scorn, a place where no one lives. 37 וְהָיְתָה בָבֶל לְגַלִּים מְעֹון־תַּנִּים שַׁמָּה וּשְׁרֵקָה מֵאֵין יֹושֵׁב׃ 38 Her people all roar like young lions, they growl like lion cubs. 38 יַחְדָּו כַּכְּפִרִים יִשְׁאָגוּ נָעֲרוּ כְּגֹורֵי אֲרָיֹות׃ 39 But while they are aroused, I will set out a feast for them and make them drunk, so that they shout with laughter-then sleep forever and not awake,' declares the LORD. 39 בְּחֻםָּם אָשִׁית אֶת־מִשְׁתֵּיהֶם וְהִשְׁכַּרְתִּים לְמַעַן יַעֲלֹזוּ וְיָשְׁנוּ שְׁנַת־עֹולָם וְלֹא יָקִיצוּ נְאֻם יְהוָה׃ 40 'I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and goats. 40 אֹורִידֵם כְּכָרִים לִטְבֹוחַ כְּאֵילִים עִם־עַתּוּדִים׃ 41 'How Sheshach will be captured, the boast of the whole earth seized! What a horror Babylon will be among the nations! 41 אֵיךְ נִלְכְּדָה שֵׁשַׁךְ וַתִּתָּפֵשׂ תְּהִלַּת כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אֵיךְ הָיְתָה לְשַׁמָּה בָּבֶל בַּגֹּויִם׃ 42 The sea will rise over Babylon; its roaring waves will cover her. 42 עָלָה עַל־בָּבֶל הַיָּם בַּהֲמֹון גַּלָּיו נִכְסָתָה׃ 43 Her towns will be desolate, a dry and desert land, a land where no one lives, through which no man travels. 43 הָיוּ עָרֶיהָ לְשַׁמָּה אֶרֶץ צִיָּה וַעֲרָבָה אֶרֶץ לֹא־יֵשֵׁב בָּהֵן כָּל־אִישׁ וְלֹא־יַעֲבֹר בָּהֵן בֶּן־אָדָם׃ 44 I will punish Bel in Babylon and make him spew out what he has swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him. And the wall of Babylon will fall. 44 וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל־בֵּל בְּבָבֶל וְהֹצֵאתִי אֶת־בִּלְעֹו מִפִּיו וְלֹא־יִנְהֲרוּ אֵלָיו עֹוד גֹּויִם גַּם־חֹומַת בָּבֶל נָפָלָה׃ 45 'Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the LORD. 45 צְאוּ מִתֹּוכָהּ עַמִּי וּמַלְּטוּ אִישׁ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁו מֵחֲרֹון אַף־יְהוָה׃ 46 Do not lose heart or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land; one rumor comes this year, another the next, rumors of violence in the land and of ruler against ruler. 46 וּפֶן־יֵרַךְ לְבַבְכֶם וְתִירְאוּ בַּשְּׁמוּעָה הַנִּשְׁמַעַת בָּאָרֶץ וּבָא בַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁמוּעָה וְאַחֲרָיו בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁמוּעָה וְחָמָס בָּאָרֶץ וּמֹשֵׁל עַל־מֹשֵׁל׃ 47 For the time will surely come when I will punish the idols of Babylon; her whole land will be disgraced and her slain will all lie fallen within her. 47 לָכֵן הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל־פְּסִילֵי בָבֶל וְכָל־אַרְצָהּ תֵּבֹושׁ וְכָל־חֲלָלֶיהָ יִפְּלוּ בְתֹוכָהּ׃ 48 Then heaven and earth and all that is in them will shout for joy over Babylon, for out of the north destroyers will attack her,' declares the LORD. 48 וְרִנְּנוּ עַל־בָּבֶל שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם כִּי מִצָּפֹון יָבֹוא־לָהּ הַשֹּׁודְדִים נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ 49 "Babylon must fall because of Israel's slain, just as the slain in all the earth have fallen because of Babylon. 49 גַּם־בָּבֶל לִנְפֹּל חַלְלֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּם־לְבָבֶל נָפְלוּ חַלְלֵי כָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ 50 You who have escaped the sword, leave and do not linger! Remember the LORD in a distant land, and think on Jerusalem.' 50 פְּלֵטִים מֵחֶרֶב הִלְכוּ אַל־תַּעֲמֹדוּ זִכְרוּ מֵרָחֹוק אֶת־יְהוָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם תַּעֲלֶה עַל־לְבַבְכֶם׃ 51 "We are disgraced, for we have been insulted and shame covers our faces, because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD's house." 51 בֹּשְׁנוּ כִּי־שָׁמַעְנוּ חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָּנֵינוּ כִּי בָּאוּ זָרִים עַל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי בֵּית יְהוָה׃ ס 52 'But days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will groan. 52 לָכֵן הִנֵּה־יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם־יְהוָה וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל־פְּסִילֶיהָ וּבְכָל־אַרְצָהּ יֶאֱנֹק חָלָל׃ 53 Even if Babylon reaches the sky and fortifies her lofty stronghold, I will send destroyers against her,' declares the LORD. 53 כִּי־תַעֲלֶה בָבֶל הַשָּׁמַיִם וְכִי תְבַצֵּר מְרֹום עֻזָּהּ מֵאִתִּי יָבֹאוּ שֹׁדְדִים לָהּ נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ ס 54 'The sound of a cry comes from Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Babylonians. 54 קֹול זְעָקָה מִבָּבֶל וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדֹול מֵאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים׃ 55 The LORD will destroy Babylon; he will silence her noisy din. Waves of enemies will rage like great waters; the roar of their voices will resound. 55 כִּי־שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת־בָּבֶל וְאִבַּד מִמֶּנָּה קֹול גָּדֹול וְהָמוּ גַלֵּיהֶם כְּמַיִם רַבִּים נִתַּן שְׁאֹון קֹולָם׃ 56 A destroyer will come against Babylon; her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken. For the LORD is a God of retribution; he will repay in full. 56 כִּי בָא עָלֶיהָ עַל־בָּבֶל שֹׁודֵד וְנִלְכְּדוּ גִּבֹּורֶיהָ חִתְּתָה קַשְּׁתֹותָם כִּי אֵל גְּמֻלֹות יְהוָה שַׁלֵּם יְשַׁלֵּם׃ 57 I will make her officials and wise men drunk, her governors, officers and warriors as well; they will sleep forever and not awake,' declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty. 57 וְהִשְׁכַּרְתִּי שָׂרֶיהָ וַחֲכָמֶיהָ פַּחֹותֶיהָ וּסְגָנֶיהָ וְגִבֹּורֶיהָ וְיָשְׁנוּ שְׁנַת־עֹולָם וְלֹא יָקִיצוּ נְאֻם־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁמֹו׃ ס 58 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Babylon's thick wall will be leveled and her high gates set on fire; the peoples exhaust themselves for nothing, the nations' labor is only fuel for the flames." 58 כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות חֹמֹות בָּבֶל הָרְחָבָה עַרְעֵר תִּתְעַרְעָר וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ הַגְּבֹהִים בָּאֵשׁ יִצַּתּוּ וְיִגְעוּ עַמִּים בְּדֵי־רִיק וּלְאֻמִּים בְּדֵי־אֵשׁ וְיָעֵפוּ׃ ס 59 This is the message Jeremiah gave to the staff officer Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah in the fourth year of his reign. 59 הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֶת־שְׂרָיָה בֶן־נֵרִיָּה בֶּן־מַחְסֵיָה בְּלֶכְתֹּו אֶת־צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת הָרְבִעִית לְמָלְכֹו וּשְׂרָיָה שַׂר מְנוּחָה׃ 60 Jeremiah had written on a scroll about all the disasters that would come upon Babylon-all that had been recorded concerning Babylon. 60 וַיִּכְתֹּב יִרְמְיָהוּ אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר־תָּבֹוא אֶל־בָּבֶל אֶל־סֵפֶר אֶחָד אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הַכְּתֻבִים אֶל־בָּבֶל׃ 61 He said to Seraiah, 'When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud. 61 וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל־שְׂרָיָה כְּבֹאֲךָ בָבֶל וְרָאִיתָ וְקָרָאתָ אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה׃ 62 Then say, 'O LORD, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither man nor animal will live in it; it will be desolate forever.' 62 וְאָמַרְתָּ יְהוָה אַתָּה דִבַּרְתָּ אֶל־הַמָּקֹום הַזֶּה לְהַכְרִיתֹו לְבִלְתִּי הֱיֹות־בֹּו יֹושֵׁב לְמֵאָדָם וְעַד־בְּהֵמָה כִּי־שִׁמְמֹות עֹולָם תִּהְיֶה׃ 63 When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates. 63 וְהָיָה כְּכַלֹּתְךָ לִקְרֹא אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה תִּקְשֹׁר עָלָיו אֶבֶן וְהִשְׁלַכְתֹּו אֶל־תֹּוךְ פְּרָת׃ 64 Then say, 'So will Babylon sink to rise no more because of the disaster I will bring upon her. And her people will fall.' " The words of Jeremiah end here. 64 וְאָמַרְתָּ כָּכָה תִּשְׁקַע בָּבֶל וְלֹא־תָקוּם מִפְּנֵי הָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מֵבִיא עָלֶיהָ וְיָעֵפוּ עַד־הֵנָּה דִּבְרֵי יִרְמְיָהוּ׃ ס
