THE WORD AGAINST SIDQI YAH
So be the word to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh - when Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel and all his valiant and all the kingdoms of the earth of the reign of his hand and all the people fight against Yeru Shalem, and against all the cities, saying, 2 Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Go and say to Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, and say to him, Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the sovereign of Babel to burn with fire; 3 and you escape not from his hand: for in apprehending, you are apprehended and given into his hand: and your eyes see the eyes of the sovereign of Babel and he words with you mouth to mouth; and you go to Babel. 4 Yet hear the word of Yah Veh, O Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah; Thus says Yah Veh of you: You die not by the sword: 5 you die in shalom: and with the cremations of your fathers the former sovereigns at your face; thus they burn for you: and they chop for you: Ho adoni! for the word I worded - an oracle of Yah Veh. 6 And Yirme Yah the prophet words all these words to Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah in Yeru Shalem, 7 when the valiant of the sovereign of Babel fight against Yeru Shalem and against all the cities of Yah Hudah that remain - against Lachish and against Azeqah: for of the fortified cities these cities of Yah Hudah remained. 8 So be the word to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh, after the sovereign Sidqi Yah cuts a covenant with all the people at Yeru Shalem - to call out liberty to them; 9 that every man send away his servant and every man his maid - Hebrew or Hebrewess: - liberated, that they serve no one - a Yah Hudahiy by his brother. 10 And all the governors and all the people who entered into the covenant hear that every man liberated his servant and every man his maid so that no one be served by them any more; and they hearken and send them away: 11 and afterward they turn, and return the servants and the maids, whom they sent away liberated; and bring them into subjection for servants and for maids. 12 And so be the word of Yah Veh to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh, saying, 13 Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: I cut a covenant with your fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Misrayim - from the house of servants, saying, 14 At the end of seven years every man sends away his brother - a Hebrew sold to you - who serves you six years: send him away liberated from you: and your fathers neither hearkened to me, nor spread their ear. 15 And today you turn and work straight in my eyes in calling out liberty - every man to his friend; and you cut a covenant at my face in the house on which my name is called: 16 and you turn and profane my name: and every man has his servant and every man his maid to whom he spread liberty at their soul, to return, and bring them into subjection being for servants and for maids. 17 So thus says Yah Veh: You hearken not to me, in calling out liberty - every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you - an oracle of Yah Veh to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I give you for an agitation into all the kingdoms of the earth: 18 and I give the men who tresspass my covenant, who raise not the words of the covenant to cut at my face - when they cut the calf in two and passed between the sections 19 - the governors of Yah Hudah and the governors of Yeru Shalem, the eunuchs, and the priests and all the people of the land who passed between the sections of the calf; 20 yes, I give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul: and their carcases become food to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the earth: 21 and I give Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and his governors into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul and into the hand of the valiant of the sovereign of Babel, who ascend from you. 22 Behold, I misvah - an oracle of Yah Veh and return them to this city; and they fight against it and capture it and burn it with fire: and I give the cities of Yah Hudah a desolation without a settler. 35 1
THE OBEDIENCE OF THE HOUSE OF THE RECHABIYM
So be the word to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh in the days of Yah Yaqim the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, 2 Go to the house of the Rechabiym and word to them, and bring them into the house of Yah Veh - into one of the chambers and give them wine to drink. 3 And I take Yaazan Yah the son of Yirme Yah the son of Chabatz Tzan Yah and his brothers and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabiym; 4 and I bring them into the house of Yah Veh - into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Yigdal Yah - a man of Elohim, - beside the chamber of the governors above the chamber of Maase Yah the son of Shallum the guard of the threshold: 5 and at the face of the sons of the house of the Rechabiym I give bowls full of wine and cups, and I say to them, Drink wine. 6 And they say, We drink no wine: for Yah Nadab the son of Rechab our father misvahed us, saying, Drink no wine - neither you nor your sons eternally: 7 neither build house nor seed seed nor plant vineyard: have none: and settle all your days in tents; so that you live many days in the face of the soil where you sojourn. 8 Thus we hearkened to the voice of Yah Nadab the son of Rechab our father in all he misvahed us - to drink no wine all our days we, our women, our sons, and our daughters: 9 neither build houses for us to settle in: nor vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 10 and we settle in tents, and hearken and work according to all Yah Nadab our father misvahed us. 11 And so be it, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel ascends into the land, and we say, Come, we go to Yeru Shalem from the face of the valiant of the Kesediym, and from the face of the valiant of the Aramiym: thus we settle at Yeru Shalem. 12 And so be the word of Yah Veh to Yirme Yah, saying, 13 Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: Go and say to the men of Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem, Take you no discipline to hearken to my words? - an oracle of Yah Veh. 14 The words that Yah Nadab the son of Rechab misvahed his sons to not drink wine are raised: for to this day they drink no one, but hearken to the misvah of their father: and I - I worded to you starting early and wording; and you hearkened not to me. 15 I also sent all my servants the prophets to you - starting early, and sending them, saying, Return, I beseech, every man from his evil way and well-prepare your exploits; and go not after other elohim to serve them; and settle in the soil I gave to you and to your fathers: and you neither spread your ear nor hearkened to me. 16 Because the sons of Yah Nadab the son of Rechab raised the misvah their father misvahed them; and this people hearken not to me: 17 so thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, Behold, I bring on Yah Hudah and on all the settlers of Yeru Shalem all the evil I worded against them: because I worded to them, and they heard not; and I called to them, and they answered not. 18 And Yirme Yah says to the house of the Rechabiym, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: Because you hearkened to the misvah of Yah Nadab your father and guarded all his misvoth; and worked according to all he misvahed you: 19 so thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: Yah Nadab the son of Rechab cuts not off a man from standing at my face all days.
