Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
1ΛΟΓΟΣ Κυρίου ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα.
2This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
2Ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε καὶ μὴ κρύψητε, εἴπατε· ἑάλωκε Βαβυλών, κατῃσχύνθη Βῆλος ἡ ἀπτόητος, ἡ τρυφερὰ παρεδόθη Μαρωδάχ.
3Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
3ὅτι ἀνέβη ἐπ' αὐτὴν ἔθνος ἀπὸ βορρᾶ· οὗτος θήσει τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἕως κτήνους.
4Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
4ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἥξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· βαδίζοντες καὶ κλαίοντες πορεύσονται τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτῶν ζητοῦντες.
5By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
5ἕως Σιὼν ἐρωτήσουσι τὴν ὁδόν, ὧδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσι· καὶ ἥξουσι καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεόν, διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
6So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
6πρόβατα ἀπολωλότα ἐγενήθη ὁ λαός μου, οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν ἔξωσαν αὐτούς, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ἀπεπλάνησαν αὐτούς, ἐξ ὄρους ἐπὶ βουνὸν ᾤχοντο, ἐπελάθοντο κοίτης αὐτῶν.
7All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
7πάντες οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτοὺς ἀνήλισκον αὐτούς, οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν εἶπαν· μὴ ἀνῶμεν αὐτούς· ἀνθ' ὧν ἥμαρτον τῷ Κυρίῳ νομὴ δικαιοσύνης τῷ συναγαγόντι τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.
8As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
8ἀπαλλοτριώθητε ἐκ μέσου Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐξέλθατε καὶ γένεσθε ὥσπερ δράκοντες κατὰ πρόσωπον προβάτων.
9But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
9ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν ἐκ γῆς βορρᾶ, καὶ παρατάξονται αὐτῇ· ἐκεῖθεν ἁλώσεται, ὡς βολὶς μαχητοῦ συνετοῦ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει κενή.
10For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
10καὶ ἔσται ἡ Χαλδαία εἰς προνομήν, πάντες οἱ προνομεύοντες αὐτὴν ἐμπλησθήσονται,
11But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
11ὅτι ηὐφραίνεσθε καὶ κατεκαυχᾶσθε διαρπάζοντες τὴν κληρονομίαν μου, διότι ἐσκιρτᾶτε ὡς βοΐδια ἐν βοτάνῃ καὶ ἐκερατίζετε ὡς ταῦροι.
12And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
12ᾐσχύνθη ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν σφόδρα, ἐνετράπη ἡ τεκοῦσα ὑμᾶς μήτηρ ἐπ' ἀγαθὰ ἐσχάτη ἐθνῶν ἔρημος.
13Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
13ἀπὸ ὀργῆς Κυρίου οὐ κατοικηθήσεται. καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν πᾶσα, καὶ πᾶς ὁ διοδεύων διὰ Βαβυλῶνος σκυθρωπάσει καὶ συριοῦσιν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν πληγὴν αὐτῆς.
14Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
14παρατάξασθε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα κύκλῳ, πάντες τείνοντες τόξον· τοξεύσατε ἐπ' αὐτήν, μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ τοῖς τοξεύμασιν ὑμῶν.
15For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
15κατακρατήσατε αὐτήν· παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῆς, ἔπεσαν αἱ ἐπάλξεις αὐτῆς καὶ κατεσκάφη τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις παρὰ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ἐκδικεῖτε ἐπ' αὐτήν· καθὼς ἐποίησε, ποιήσατε αὐτῇ.
16Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
16ἐξολοθρεύσασθε σπέρμα ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος, κατέχοντα δρέπανον ἐν καιρῷ θερισμοῦ· ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας Ἑλληνικῆς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψουσι καὶ ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ φεύξεται.
17Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
17Πρόβατον πλανώμενον Ἰσραήλ, λέοντες ἔξωσαν αὐτόν· ὁ πρῶτος ἔφαγεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ οὗτος ὕστερον τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος.
18If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
18διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἐξεδίκησα ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσούρ.
19For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
19καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ νεμήσεται ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ καὶ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐν τῷ Γαλαὰδ καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ.
20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
20ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ζητήσουσι τὴν ἀδικίαν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας Ἰούδα, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῶσιν, ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι τοῖς ὑπολελειμμένοις ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, λέγει Κύριος.
21Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
21Πικρῶς ἐπίβηθι ἐπ' αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπ' αὐτήν· ἐκδίκησον, μάχαιρα, καὶ ἀφάνισον, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποίει κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐντέλλομαί σοι.
22‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
22φωνὴ πολέμου καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων.
