Jeremiah 33

vayehi devar-Adonai el-yirmeyahu shenit vehu odennu atsur bakhatsar hammattarah lemor

The word of GOD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined in the prison compound, as follows:

koh-amar Adonai osah Adonai yotser otah lahakhinah Adonai shemo

Thus said GOD who is planning it, GOD who is shaping it to bring it about, Whose name is GOD:

qera elay ve'e'enekka ve'aggidah lekha gedolot uvetsurot lo yedatam

Call to Me, and I will answer you, And I will tell you wondrous things, Secrets you have not known.

ki khoh amar Adonai elohe yisra'el al-batte ha'ir hazzot ve'al-batte malkhe yehudah hannetutsim el-hassolelot ve'el-hekharev

For thus said the ETERNAL, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that were torn down for [defense] against the siege mounds and against the sword,

ba'im lehillakhem et-hakkasdim ulemalam et-pigre ha'adam asher-hikketi ve'appi uvakhamati va'asher histarti fanay meha'ir hazzot al kol-ra'atam

and were filled by those who went to fight the Chaldeans—with the corpses of those whom I struck down in My anger and rage, hiding My face from this city because of all their wickedness:

hinni ma'aleh-llah arukhah umarpe urefatim vegilleti lahem ateret shalom ve'emet

I am going to bring her relief and healing. I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of true favor.

vahashivoti et-shevut yehudah ve'et shevut yisra'el uvenitim kevarishonah

And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and I will rebuild them as of old.

vetihartim mikkol-avonam asher khate'u-li vesalakhti (lkhvl) [lekhol-]avonotehem asher khate'u-li va'asher pashe'u vi

And I will purge them of all the sins that they committed against Me, and I will pardon all the sins that they committed against Me, by which they rebelled against Me.

vehayetah li leshem sason lithillah uletiferet lekhol goye ha'arets asher yishme'u et-kol-hattovah asher anokhi oseh otam ufakhadu verogzu al kol-hattovah ve'al kol-hashalom asher anokhi oseh lah

And she shall gain through Me renown, joy, fame, and glory above all the nations on earth, when they hear of all the good fortune I provide for them. They will thrill and quiver because of all the good fortune and all the prosperity that I provide for her.

koh amar Adonai od yishama bammaqom-hazzeh asher attem omerim kharev hu me'en adam ume'en behemah be'are yehudah uvekhutsot yerushalai͏m hanshammot me'en adam ume'en yoshev ume'en behemah

Thus said GOD: Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say is ruined, without humans or animals—in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without humans, without inhabitants, without animals—

qol sason veqol simkhah qol khatan veqol kallah qol omerim hodu et-Adonai tseva'ot ki-tov Adonai ki-le'olam khasdo mevi'im todah bet Adonai ki-ashiv et-shevut-ha'arets kevarishonah amar Adonai

the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride, the voice of those who cry, “Give thanks to GOD of Hosts, for GOD—whose steadfast love is eternal—is good!” as they bring thanksgiving offerings to the House of GOD. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as of old—said GOD.

koh-amar Adonai tseva'ot od yihyeh bammaqom hazzeh hekharev me'en-adam ve'ad-behemah uvekhol-arayw neveh ro'im marbitsim tson

Thus said GOD of Hosts: In this ruined place, without humans or animals, and in all its towns, there shall again be a pasture for shepherds, where they can rest their flocks.

be'are hahar be'are hashefelah uve'are hannegev uve'erets binyamin uvisvive yerushalai͏m uve'are yehudah od ta'avorenah hatson al-yede moneh amar Adonai

In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the Shephelah, and in the towns of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin and in the environs of Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, sheep shall pass again under the hands of one who counts them—said GOD.

hinneh yamim ba'im ne'um-Adonai vahaqimoti et-haddavar hattov asher dibbarti el-bet yisra'el ve'al-bet yehudah

See, days are coming—declares GOD—when I will fulfill the promise that I made concerning the House of Israel and the House of Judah.

bayyamim hahem uva'et hahi atsmiakh ledavid tsemakh tsedaqah ve'asah mishpat utsedaqah ba'arets

In those days and at that time, I will raise up a true branch of David’s line, and he shall do what is just and right in the land.

bayyamim hahem tivvasha yehudah virushalai͏m tishkon lavetakh vezeh asher-yiqra-lah Adonai tsidqenu

In those days Judah shall be delivered and Jerusalem shall dwell secure. And this is what it shall be called: “GOD is our Vindicator.”

ki-khoh amar Adonai lo-yikkaret ledavid ish yoshev al-kisse vet-yisra'el

For thus said GOD: There shall never be an end to those of David’s line who sit upon the throne of the House of Israel.

velakkohanim haleviyyim lo-yikkaret ish millefanay ma'aleh olah umaqtir minkhah ve'oseh zevakh kol-hayyamim

Nor shall there ever be an end to the line of the levitical priests before Me, of those who present burnt offerings and turn the grain offering to smoke and perform sacrifices.

vayehi devar-Adonai el-yirmeyahu lemor

The word of GOD came to Jeremiah:

koh amar Adonai im-taferu et-beriti hayyom ve'et-beriti hallayelah ulevilti heyot yomam-valaylah be'ittam

Thus said GOD: If you could break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night should not come at their proper time,

gam-beriti tufar et-david avdi mihyot-lo ven molekh al-kiso ve'et-haleviyyim hakkohanim mesharetay

only then could My covenant with My servant David be broken—so that he would not have a descendant reigning upon his throne—or with My ministrants, the levitical priests.

asher lo-yissafer tseva hashamayim velo yimmad khol hayyam ken arbeh et-zera david avdi ve'et-haleviyyim mesharete oti

Like the host of heaven that cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea that cannot be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of My servant David, and of the Levites who minister to Me.

vayehi devar-Adonai el-yirmeyahu lemor

The word of GOD came to Jeremiah:

halo ra'ita mah-ha'am hazzeh dibberu lemor shete hammishpakhot asher bakhar Adonai bahem vayyimasem ve'et-ammi yinatsun mihyot od goy lifnehem

You see what this people said: “The two families that GOD chose have now been rejected.” Thus they despise My people, and regard them as no longer a nation.

koh amar Adonai im-lo veriti yomam valayelah khuqqot shamayim va'arets lo-sameti

Thus said GOD: As surely as I have established My covenant with day and night—the laws of heaven and earth—

gam-zera ya'aqov vedavid avdi emas miqqakhat mizzaro moshelim el-zera avraham yiskhaq veya'aqov ki-[ashiv] (shvv) et-shevutam verikhamtim

so I will never reject the offspring of Jacob and My servant David; I will never fail to take from his offspring rulers for the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore their fortunes and take them back in love.
