Jeremiah 7
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
2 “Go to the entrance of my temple, and give this message to the people: You people of Judah who worship here, listen to this message from Yahweh!
Stand in [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh and you will proclaim there the word this and you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who come in the gates these to bow down to Yahweh.
3 The Commander of the armies of angels says to you, ['If you] stop doing evil things and start doing what is right, I will allow you to remain living in your land.'
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel make good ways your and deeds your so let me cause to dwell you in the place this.
4 [But some people] are repeatedly saying to you, ‘The temple of Yahweh is here, [so we will be safe]; [he will not allow us and the temple to be destroyed].’ But do not pay attention to what they say, because they are deceiving you.
May not you trust for yourselves to words of deception saying [the] temple of Yahweh [the] temple of Yahweh [are] [the] temple of Yahweh they.
5 [I will act mercifully to you only] if you change your behavior and stop doing evil things, and if you [start to] act fairly/justly toward others,
That except certainly you will make good ways your and deeds your certainly [if] you will do justice between everyone and between neighbor his.
6 and if you stop oppressing foreigners [who live in your country], and orphans and widows, and if you stop murdering people, and if you stop worshiping (foreign gods/idols). However, if you continue to do those things, you will be destroyed.
[the] sojourner [the] fatherless And [the] widow not you must oppress and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this and after gods other not you must walk for harm of you.
7 If you do what I have told you, I will allow you to stay in this land that I promised to your ancestors that it would belong to them [and their descendants] forever.
And I will cause to dwell you in the place this in the land which I gave to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
8 [People are repeatedly] telling you, [‘The temple is here, so we are safe]’, and you are trusting/believing [that what they are saying is true], but it is a lie. [Those people are deceiving you, and what they say is] worthless.
Here! you [are] relying for yourselves on words of deception to not to profit.
9 You think that [RHQ] you can steal things, murder people, commit adultery, tell lies in court, and worship Baal and all those other gods that you did not know about previously,
¿ Will you steal - will you murder? and will you commit adultery? and will you swear? to falsehood and will you make smoke? to Baal and will you walk? after gods other which not you have known.
10 and then come here and stand in front of this temple, which is my temple, and say ‘Nothing bad will happen to us!’, while you continue to do all those abominable things.
And you will come and you will stand before me in the house this which it is called name my on it and you will say we are delivered so as to do all the abominations these.
11 Do you realize that you are causing this temple, which is my temple, to become like [MET] a den where bandits hide [RHQ]? Do you not know that I see [all the evil things that you people do there]?
¿ A den of robbers has it become the house this which it is called name my on it in eyes your also I here! I have seen [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 [Long ago] I put my Sacred Tent at Shiloh [city], to be a place where people would worship me [MTY]. Think about how I [destroyed it] because my people, the Israeli people, did [many] wicked things there.
That go please to place my which [was] in Shiloh where I caused to dwell name my there at the former [time] and see [that] which I did to it because of [the] wickedness of people my Israel.
13 And while you were continually doing those wicked things, I told you about it many times, but you refused to listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer [me].
And therefore because did you all the deeds these [the] utterance of Yahweh and I spoke to you rising early and speaking and not you listened and I called you and not you answered.
14 Therefore, just like I destroyed Shiloh, I will [now] destroy this temple that was built for people to worship me [MTY], this temple that you trust in, that is in this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.
And I will do to the house - which it is called name my on it which you [are] trusting in it and to the place which I gave to you and to ancestors your just as I did to Shiloh.
15 And I will expel you from this land and send you [to other countries] far away from me, just like I did to your relatives, the people of Israel.”
And I will cast out you from on face my just as I cast out all relatives your all [the] offspring of Ephraim.
16 [Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], do not pray for these people [any longer]. Do not cry for them or plead for [me to help] them, because I will not pay any attention to you.
And you may not you pray - for the people this and may not you lift up for them a cry of entreaty and a prayer and may not you entreat me for not I [will be] hearing you.
17 Do you see [the wicked things] that they are doing in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah?
¿ [are] not You seeing what? [are] they doing in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
18 The children gather firewood and their fathers use it to make fires [on the altars to burn sacrifices]. The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to [their goddess Astarte who is called] the Queen of Heaven. And [on their altars] they pour out offerings of wine to [their] other idols. All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!
The children [are] gathering wood and the fathers [are] kindling the fire and the women [are] kneading dough to make cakes for [the] queen of the heavens and they are pouring out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
19 But I am not [RHQ] the one whom they are hurting; they are really [RHQ] hurting themselves [by doing these things for which they should be] very ashamed!”
¿ Me [are] they provoking [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not themselves for [the] sake of [the] shame of faces their.
20 So Yahweh the Lord says this: “Because I am extremely angry with [what happens at] this place, I will punish these people severely [MTY]; my being very angry will be [like] [MET] a fire that will not be extinguished, and I will destroy the people, [their] animals, [their] fruit trees, and [their] crops.”
Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! anger my and rage my [are] about to be poured out against the place this on humankind and on the animal[s] and on [the] tree[s] of the field and on [the] fruit of the ground and it will burn and not it will be quenched.
21 Therefore, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Take away [IRO] your offerings that you bring to burn completely on your altars and your [other] sacrifices; [don’t give them to me]; eat them [yourselves]!
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel burnt offerings your add to sacrifices your and eat meat.
22 When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not offerings to be completely burned on the altar or [other] sacrifices that I wanted from them.
For not I spoke with ancestors your and not I commanded them on [the] day (brought out I *QK) them from [the] land of Egypt on matters of burnt offering and sacrifice.
23 What I told them was, ‘Obey me; [if you do that], I will be your God and you will be my people. If you do the things that I want you to do, everything will go well for you.’
That except the matter this I commanded them saying listen to voice my and I will become for you God and you you will become for me a people and you will walk in every way which I will command you so that it may go well for you.
24 But your ancestors would not pay any attention [DOU] to me. They continued to do [the evil things] that they wanted to do, everything that in their stubborn inner beings they desired to do. Instead of coming closer to me, they went further away from me.
And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked in counsels in [the] stubbornness of heart their evil and they were backwards and not forwards.
25 From the day that your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets to you.
From the day when they came out ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt until the day this and I sent to you all servants my the prophets day rising early and sending.
26 But you, [my people], have not listened to me or paid attention to what I said; you have been stubborn, and you have done more sinful things than your ancestors did.”
And not they listened to me and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their they did evil more than ancestors their.
27 [Then Yahweh said to me], “When you tell all this to my people, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
And you will say to them all the words these and not they will listen to you and you will call to them and not they will answer you.
28 Say to them, ‘You people [of Judah] have not obeyed Yahweh, your God; you have not accepted it when he tried to correct you. No one among you is truthful; you do not say anything that is true; [you speak only lies].’
And you will say to them this [is] the nation which not they listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God its and not they accepted correction it has perished faithfulness and it has been cut off from mouth their.
29 [So, tell them to] cut off their hair [to show that they are mourning]; tell them to go up into the hills and sing a sad funeral song, because I have completely rejected [DOU] this generation [of people] who have made me angry.”
Cut off hair your and throw [it] away and take up on bare heights a lamentation for he has rejected Yahweh and he has abandoned [the] generation of fury his.
30 Yahweh says this: “The people of Judah have done many things that I say are evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in my temple, causing it to become an unacceptable [place to worship me].
For they have done [the] people of Judah the evil in eyes my [the] utterance of Yahweh they have put detestable things their in the house which it is called name my on it to make unclean it.
31 They have built altars at Topheth in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and they sacrifice their sons and daughters on those altars. I never commanded them to do that; I never even thought that anyone would do that.
And they have built [the] high places of Topheth which [is] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to burn sons their and daughters their in the fire which not I commanded and not it came up on heart my.
32 So they should beware! There will be a time when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the Hinnom Valley; instead, it will be called the Valley of Slaughter. There will be a huge number of people who will be buried there, with the result that there will be no space to bury more bodies.
Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter and people will bury in Topheth from not room.
33 The corpses of my people that are [not buried and are] left on the ground will be eaten by vultures and wild animals, and there will be no one to shoo/chase them away.
And it will become [the] corpse[s] of the people this food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
34 There will be no one singing and laughing any more in the streets of Jerusalem; there will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides in Judah, because the land will be completely destroyed.”
And I will cause to cease - from [the] cities of Judah and from [the] streets of Jerusalem [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride for a desolation it will become the land.
