1This is the word of the LORD about the nations—the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ τοῦ Σεδεκία βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ παρεγένετο Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
2concerning Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah:
2καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ, ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἐρράγη ἡ πόλις.
3“Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!
3καὶ εἰσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγούμενοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ Ναργαλασὰρ καὶ Σαμαγὼθ καὶ Ναβουσαχὰρ καὶ Ναβουσαρεῖς καὶ Ναγαργασνασὲρ Ραβαμὰγ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἡγεμόνες βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος·
4Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor!

14“Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword devours those around you.’
14καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐξ αὐλῆς τῆς φυλακῆς καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Γοδολίαν υἱὸν Ἀχεικὰμ υἱοῦ Σαφάν· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.
15Why have your warriors been laid low? They cannot stand, for the LORD has thrust them down.
15Καὶ πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων·
16They continue to stumble; indeed, they have fallen over one another. They say, ‘Get up! Let us return to our people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword of the oppressor.’
16πορεύου καὶ εἰπὲ πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά,
17There they will cry out: ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he has let the appointed time pass him by.’
17καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,
18As surely as I live, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, there will come one who is like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.
18ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς. καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου εἰς εὕρημα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπ' ἐμοί, φησὶ Κύριος.
