Jeremiah 30

haddavar asher hayah el-yirmeyahu me'et Adonai lemor

The word that came to Jeremiah from GOD:

koh-amar Adonai elohe yisra'el lemor ketov-lekha et kol-haddevarim asher-dibbarti elekha el-sefer

Thus said the ETERNAL, the God of Israel: Write down in a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you.

ki hinneh yamim ba'im ne'um-Adonai veshavti et-shevut ammi yisra'el vihudah amar Adonai vahashivotim el-ha'arets asher-natatti la'avotam vireshuha

For days are coming—declares GOD—when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah, said GOD; and I will bring them back to the land that I gave their ancestors, and they shall possess it.

ve'elleh haddevarim asher dibber Adonai el-yisra'el ve'el-yehudah

And these are the words that GOD spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

ki-khoh amar Adonai qol kharadah shama'enu pakhad ve'en shalom

Thus said GOD: We have heard cries of panic, Terror without relief.

sha'alu-na ure'u im-yoled zakhar maddua ra'iti khol-gever yadayw al-khalatsayw kayyoledah venehefkhu khol-panim leyeraqon

Ask and see: Surely males do not bear young! Why then do I see every man With his hands on his loins Like a woman in labor? Why have all faces turned pale?

hoy ki gadol hayyom hahu me'ayin kamohu ve'et-tsarah hi leya'aqov umimmennah yivvashea

Ah, that day is awesome; There is none like it! It is a time of trouble for Jacob, But he shall be delivered from it.

vehayah vayyom hahu ne'um Adonai tseva'ot eshbor ullo me'al tsavvarekha umoserotekha anatteq velo-ya'avdu-vo od zarim

In that day—declares GOD of Hosts—I will break the yoke from off your neck and I will rip off your bonds. Strangers shall no longer make slaves of them;

ve'avedu et Adonai elohehem ve'et david malkam asher aqim lahem

instead, they shall serve the ETERNAL their God and David, the king whom I will raise up for them.

ve'attah al-tira avdi ya'aqov ne'um-Adonai ve'al-tekhat yisra'el ki hinni moshi'akha merakhoq ve'et-zarakha me'erets shivyam veshav ya'aqov veshaqat vesha'anan ve'en makharid

But you, Have no fear, My servant Jacob —declares GOD— Be not dismayed, O Israel! I will deliver you from far away, Your folk from their land of captivity. And Jacob shall again have calm And quiet with none to trouble him;

ki-ittekha ani ne'um-Adonai lehoshi'ekha ki e'eseh khalah bekhol-haggoyim asher hafitsotikha sham akh otekha lo-e'eseh khalah veyissartikha lammishpat venaqqeh lo anaqqekka

For I am with you to deliver you —declares GOD. I will make an end of all the nations Among which I have dispersed you; But I will not make an end of you! I will not leave you unpunished, But will chastise you in measure.

ki khoh amar Adonai anush leshivrekh nakhlah makkatekh

For thus said GOD: Your injury is incurable, Your wound severe;

en-dan dinekh lemazor refu'ot te'alah en lakh

No one pleads for the healing of your sickness, There is no remedy, no recovery for you.

kol-me'ahavayikh shekhekhukh otakh lo yidroshu ki makkat oyev hikkitikh musar akhzari al rov avonekh atsemu khattotayikh

All your lovers have forgotten you, They do not seek you out; For I have struck you as an enemy strikes, With cruel chastisement, Because your iniquity was so great And your sins so many.

mah-ttizaq al-shivrekh anush makhovekh al rov avonekh atsemu khattotayikh asiti elleh lakh

Why cry out over your injury, That your wound is incurable? I did these things to you Because your iniquity was so great And your sins so many.

lakhen kol-okhelayikh ye'akhelu vekhol-tsarayikh kullam bashevi yelekhu vehayu shosayikh limshissah vekhol-bozezayikh etten lavaz

Assuredly, All who wanted to devour you shall be devoured, And every one of your foes shall go into captivity; Those who despoiled you shall be despoiled, And all who pillaged you I will give up to pillage.

ki a'aleh arukhah lakh umimmakkotayikh erpa'ekh ne'um-Adonai ki niddakhah qare'u lakh tsiyyon hi doresh en lah

But I will bring healing to you And cure you of your wounds —declares GOD. Though they called you “Outcast, That Zion whom no one seeks out,”

koh amar Adonai hinni-shav shevut ohole ya'aqov umishkenotayw arakhem venivnetah ir al-tillah ve'armon al-mishpato yeshev

Thus said GOD: I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents And have compassion upon his dwellings. The city shall be rebuilt on its mound, And the fortress in its proper place.

veyatsa mehem todah veqol mesakhaqim vehirbitim velo yimatu vehikhbadtim velo yitsaru

From them shall issue thanksgiving And the sound of dancers. I will multiply them, And they shall not be few; I will make them honored, And they shall not be humbled.

vehayu vanayw keqedem va'adato lefanay tikkon ufaqadti al kol-lokhatsayw

His children shall be as of old, And his community shall be established by My grace; And I will deal with all his oppressors.

vehayah addiro mimmennu umoshelo miqqirbo yetse vehiqravtiv veniggash elay ki mi hu-zeh arav et-libbo lageshet elay ne'um-Adonai

His chieftain shall be one of his own, His ruler shall come from his midst; I will bring him near, that he may approach Me —declares GOD— For who would otherwise dare approach Me?

vihyitem li le'am ve'anokhi ehyeh lakhem lelohim

You shall be My people, And I will be your God.

hinneh sa'arat Adonai khemah yatse'ah sa'ar mitgorer al rosh resha'im yakhul

Lo, GOD’s storm goes forth in fury, A raging tempest; It shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.

lo yashuv kharon af-Adonai ad-asoto ve'ad-haqimo mezimmot libbo be'akharit hayyamim titbonenu vah

The anger of GOD shall not turn back Till it has fulfilled and completed God’s purposes. In the days to come You shall perceive it.
