The message which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. (Now Seraiah was quartermaster.)
Наказ, що його дав Єремія Сераї, синові Нерії, сина Махсеї, як той вибирався у Вавилон із Седекією, царем юдейським, на четвертому році його царювання. Серая ж був старший над приміщенням.
So Jeremiah wrote in a single scroll all the calamity which would come upon Babylon, that is, all these words which have been written concerning Babylon.
Єремія списав усе нещастя, що мало впасти на Вавилон, в одній книзі, — все те, що було писано про Вавилон.
Then Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “As soon as you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words aloud,
І сказав Єремія Сераї: «Як прибудеш у Вавилон, гляди, прочитай усі ці слова
and say, ‘You, O LORD, have promised concerning this place to cut it off, so that there will be nothing dwelling in it, whether man or beast, but it will be a perpetual desolation.’
та й промов: Господи! Ти сам вирік про це місце, що воно буде зруйноване так, що на ньому не буде ні людини, ні скотини, і що воно стане вічною пустинею.
“And as soon as you finish reading this scroll, you will tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates,
Отже, як прочитаєш цю книгу, прив'яжи до неї камінь та й укинь її у середину Ефрату
and say, ‘Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
і промов: Отак утоне Вавилон і не вирине більше з того нещастя, що я пошлю на нього.» Досі слова Єремії.
