29 and_these are_the _words/messages _of the _letter which he _sent Yirmə^yāh/(Jeremiah) the_prophet from_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) to the _remainder _of the _elders _of the _exile[s] and_near/to the_priests and_near/to the_prophets and_near/to all _of the_people which he _had _taken _into _exile Nəⱱūkadneʦʦar from_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) to_Bāⱱel.
2 After went _out Yəkānə^yāh/(Jeconiah) the_king and_the_queen-mother and_the_court-officials the _officials _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) and_the_craftsman and_the_smith from_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
3 By_the _hand _of Eleasah the _son _of Shāfān and_Gemariah the _son _of Ḩilqiy^yāh whom he _sent Tsidqiy^yāh/(Zedekiah) the _king _of Yəhūdāh to Nəⱱūkadneʦʦar the _king _of Bāⱱel to_Bāⱱel to_say.
4 thus YHWH he _says hosts the _god _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) to/from_all/each/any/every the_exile[s] whom I _sent _into _exile from_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) to_Bāⱱel.
5 Build houses and_dwell and_plant gardens and_eat DOM produce _of_their.
6 Take wives and_father sons and_daughters and_take for_your(pl)_of_sons wives and_DOM daughters _of_your(pl) give to_husbands so_that _they _may _bear sons and_daughters and_increase/multiply there and_do _not diminish.
7 And_seek DOM the _welfare _of the_city where I _have _sent _into _exile you(pl) to_there and_pray for_it to YHWH if/because in_its _of_welfare it _will _belong to/for_you(pl) welfare.
8 if/because thus YHWH he _says hosts the _god _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) not let _them _deceive to/for_you(pl) prophets _of_your(pl) who are_in_your _of_midst and_your(pl)_of_diviners and_do _not listen to dreams _of_your(pl) which you(pl) are_dreaming.
9 If/because with_falsehood they are_prophesying to/for_you(pl) in_my _of_name not I_sent _them the _utterance _of YHWH.
10 if/because thus YHWH he _says if/because to_the_mouth _of (of)_will _be _completed for_Bāⱱel seventy year[s] I _will _give _attention _to you(pl) and_I _will _carry _out on_you(pl) DOM message _of_my (the)_good by_bringing _back you(pl) to the_place (the)_this.
11 If/because I I _know DOM the_plans which I am_planning on_you(pl) the _utterance _of YHWH plans _of well-being and_not for_harm to_give to/for_you(pl) a _future and_a _hope.
12 And_you(pl)_will _call _on DOM_me and_you(pl)_will _come and_you(pl)_will _pray to_me and_I _will _listen to_you(pl).
13 And_you(pl)_will _seek DOM_me and_you(pl)_will _find_me if/because you(pl)_will _seek _me in_all heart _of_your(pl).
14 And_I _will _let _myself _be _found to/for_you(pl) the _utterance _of YHWH and_I _will _turn _back DOM captivity _of_your(pl)[fn] and_I _will _gather you(pl) from_all the_nations and_from_all _of the_places where I _banished you(pl) there the _utterance _of YHWH and_I _will _bring _back you(pl) to the_place where I _sent _into _exile you(pl) from_there.
15 If/because you(pl)_have _said he _has _raised _up to/for_us YHWH prophets (to)_Bāⱱel.
16 if/because thus YHWH he _says concerning the_king who_sits to the _throne _of Dāvid and_near/to all _of the_people which_dwells in_city (the)_this countrymen _of_your(pl) who not they _went _out with_you(pl) in_exile.
17 Thus YHWH he _says hosts here_I am_about _to _send on_them DOM the_drought//sword/knife DOM (the)_famine and_DOM (the)_pestilence and_I _will _make them like_figs (the)_rotten which not they _will _be _eaten from_badness.
18 And_I _will _pursue after_them with_sword with_famine and_with_pestilence and_I_will _make _them mmm[fn] to_all/each/any/every the _kingdoms _of the_earth/land into_a _curse and_into_a _waste and_into_a _hissing and_into_a _reproach in_all the_nations where I_have _banished _them there.
19 Because that not they _listened to words/messages _of_my the _utterance _of YHWH which I _sent to_them DOM servants _of_my the_prophets rising _early and_sending and_not you(pl)_listened the _utterance _of YHWH.
20 And_you(pl) hear the _message _of YHWH Oh _all _of the_exile[s] whom I _sent from_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) to_Bāⱱel.
21 thus YHWH he _says hosts the _god _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) concerning ʼAḩʼāⱱ the _son _of Qōlā^yāh and_near/to Tsidqiy^yāh/(Zedekiah) the _son _of Maˊₐsē^yāh who_are_prophesying to/for_you(pl) in_my _of_name falsehood here_I am_about _to _give DOM_them in_the _hand _of Nəⱱūkadneʦʦar the _king _of Bāⱱel and_he_will _strike _them _down to_your _two’s _of_eyes.
22 And_it _will _be _taken from_them a _curse to_all/each/any/every the _exile[s]_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) who are_in_Bāⱱel to_say may_he _make _you YHWH like_Tsidqiy^yāh and_like_ʼAḩʼāⱱ whom he_roasted _them the _king _of Bāⱱel in_fire.
23 Because that they _did disgraceful _folly in_Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_they _committed _adultery DOM the _wives _of their _neighbours _of_of and_they _spoke a _message in_my _of_name falsehood which not I_commanded _them and_I wwww wwww[fn][fn] and_a _witness the _utterance _of YHWH.
