Jeremiah 18

1 The word that came from Jeremias to the Lord, saying:

The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.

2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there thou shalt hear my words.

Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.

3 And I went down into the potter’s house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel.

And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *QK) [was] doing work on the stones.

4 And the vessel was broken which he was making with clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it.

And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

6 Cannot I do with you as this potter, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.

7 I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.

A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.

8 If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.

And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.

9 And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it.

And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.

10 If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.

And it will do (the evil *QK) in eyes my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.

11 Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.

And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.

12 And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.

And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess?

Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.

14 Shall now the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away?

¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.

15 Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden:

For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.

16 That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head.

To make land their into a waste (whistling of *QK) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.

17 As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.

Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.

18 And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words.

And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.

19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.

Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.

20 Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them.

¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.

21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle.

Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.

22 Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.

May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *QK) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.

23 But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.

And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *QK) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
