This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah.

This is what the Lord told me: Make for yourself a harness and a yoke and strap it on your neck

Send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to see Zedekiah king of Judah.

4 and to command [obj] them to(wards) lord their to/for to say thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel thus to say to(wards) lord your

Give them this order from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, to convey to their masters:

5 I to make [obj] [the] land: country/planet [obj] [the] man and [obj] [the] animal which upon face: surface [the] land: country/planet in/on/with strength my [the] great: large and in/on/with arm my [the] to stretch and to give: give her to/for which to smooth in/on/with eye: appearance my

It was by my strength and creative power that I made the earth and the human beings and animals that live there, and I give it to those who are right in my sight.

6 and now I to give: give [obj] all [the] land: country/planet [the] these in/on/with hand: power Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon servant/slave my and also [obj] living thing [the] land: country to give: give to/for him to/for to serve him

Now I have placed my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in charge of all these countries. I have even given him control over the wild animals.

All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time that his own land comes under the control of other nations and powerful kings.

Any nation or kingdom that doesn't serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and doesn't submit to him I will punish that nation by war and famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I let Nebuchadnezzar destroy it completely.

9 and you(m. p.) not to hear: hear to(wards) prophet your and to(wards) to divine your and to(wards) dream your and to(wards) to divine your and to(wards) sorcerer your which they(masc.) to say to(wards) you to/for to say not to serve [obj] king Babylon

Don't you listen to your prophets, your fortune-tellers, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your magicians when they tell you, “You won't serve the king of Babylon.”

10 for deception they(masc.) to prophesy to/for you because to remove [obj] you from upon land: soil your and to banish [obj] you and to perish

They're prophesying a lie to you that will lead to your removal from your country. I will expel you and you will die.

11 and [the] nation which to come (in): bring [obj] neck his in/on/with yoke king Babylon and to serve him and to rest him upon land: soil his utterance LORD and to serve: labour her and to dwell in/on/with her

But a nation that submits to the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and live in it, declares the Lord.

12 and to(wards) Zedekiah king Judah to speak: speak like/as all [the] word [the] these to/for to say to come (in): bring [obj] neck your in/on/with yoke king Babylon and to serve [obj] him and people his and to live

I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah: Submit to the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!

13 to/for what? to die you(m. s.) and people your in/on/with sword in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence like/as as which to speak: speak LORD to(wards) [the] nation which not to serve [obj] king Babylon

Why should you and your people die by war and famine and plague, as the Lord has said he would bring against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?

14 and not to hear: hear to(wards) word [the] prophet [the] to say to(wards) you to/for to say not to serve [obj] king Babylon for deception they(masc.) to prophesy to/for you

Don't listen to messages from prophets who say, “You won't serve the king of Babylon,” for they are prophesying a lie to you.

15 for not to send: depart them utterance LORD and they(masc.) to prophesy in/on/with name my to/for deception because to banish I [obj] you and to perish you(m. p.) and [the] prophet [the] to prophesy to/for you

I didn't send them, declares the Lord, and yet they are giving false prophecies in my name. So I will expel you and you will die—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

16 and to(wards) [the] priest and to(wards) all [the] people [the] this to speak: speak to/for to say thus to say LORD not to hear: hear to(wards) word prophet your [the] to prophesy to/for you to/for to say behold article/utensil house: temple LORD to return: return from Babylon [to] now haste for deception they(masc.) to prophesy to/for you

Then I told the priests and all the people, This is what the Lord says: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Look! The objects from the Lord's Temple will shortly be returned from Babylon.” They are prophesying a lie to you.

17 not to hear: hear to(wards) them to serve [obj] king Babylon and to live to/for what? to be [the] city [the] this desolation

Don't listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be destroyed?

18 and if prophet they(masc.) and if there word LORD with them to fall on please in/on/with LORD Hosts to/for lest to come (in): come [the] article/utensil [the] to remain in/on/with house: temple LORD and house: palace king Judah and in/on/with Jerusalem Babylon [to]

If they are truly prophets and really have the word of the Lord with them, they should be pleading now with the Lord Almighty that what's left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, isn't taken to Babylon.

19 for thus to say LORD Hosts to(wards) [the] pillar and upon [the] sea and upon [the] base and upon remainder [the] article/utensil [the] to remain in/on/with city [the] this

This what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the bases, and the rest of the objects that are left in Jerusalem:

20 which not to take: take them Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon in/on/with to reveal: remove he [obj] (Jeconiah *Qk) son: child Jehoiakim king Judah from Jerusalem Babylon [to] and [obj] all noble Judah and Jerusalem

everything Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take when he took Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, together with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

21 for thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel upon [the] article/utensil [the] to remain house: temple LORD and house: palace king Judah and Jerusalem

Again, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the objects left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:

22 Babylon [to] to come (in): bring and there [to] to be till day to reckon: visit I [obj] them utterance LORD and to ascend: establish them and to return: rescue them to(wards) [the] place [the] this

They will be taken away to Babylon and will stay there until the time I see to them again, declares the Lord. Only then will I bring them back so they will be in Jerusalem again.
