1ΤΑΔΕ λέγει Κύριος·
1This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
2ἰδοὺ ὕδατα ἀναβαίνει ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἔσται εἰς χειμάρρουν κατακλύζοντα καὶ κατακλύσει γῆν καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς, πόλιν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ κεκράξονται οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ἀλαλάξουσιν ἅπαντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν.
2(This was after King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
3ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὁρμῆς αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ τῶν ὁπλῶν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ σεισμοῦ τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ, ἤχου τροχῶν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέστρεψαν πατέρες ἐφ' υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἐκλύσεως χειρῶν αὐτῶν
3The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
4ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐπερχομένῃ τοῦ ἀπολέσαι πάντας τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους. καὶ ἀφανιῶ τὴν Τύρον καὶ τὴν Σιδῶνα καὶ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τῆς βοηθείας αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐξολοθρεύσει Κύριος τοὺς καταλοίπους τῶν νήσων.
4This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5ἥκει φαλάκρωμα ἐπὶ Γάζαν, ἀπερρίφη Ἀσκάλων καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι Ἐνακίμ.
5“Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.
6ἕως τίνος κόψεις, ἡ μάχαιρα τοῦ Κυρίου; ἕως τίνος οὐχ ἡσυχάσεις; ἀποκατάστηθι εἰς τὸν κολεόν σου, ἀνάπαυσαι καὶ ἐπάρθητι.
6Take wives and have sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Multiply there; do not decrease.
7πῶς ἡσυχάσει; καὶ Κύριος ἐνετείλατο αὐτῇ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀσκάλωνα καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς παραθαλασσίους, ἐπὶ τὰς καταλοίπους, ἐπεγερθῆναι. Τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ Τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σοφία ἐν Θαιμάν, ἀπώλετο βουλὴ ἐκ συνετῶν, ᾤχετο σοφία αὐτῶν,
7Seek the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you as exiles. Pray to the LORD on its behalf, for if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
8ἠπατήθη ὁ τόπος αὐτῶν. βαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Δαιδάν, ὅτι δύσκολα ἐποίησεν· ἤγαγον ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἐν χρόνῳ, ᾧ ἐπεσκεψάμην ἐπ' αὐτόν.
8For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Do not be deceived by the prophets and diviners among you, and do not listen to the dreams you elicit from them.
9ὅτι τρυγηταὶ ἦλθόν σοι, οἳ οὐ καταλείψουσί σοι κατάλειμμα· ὡς κλέπται ἐν νυκτὶ ἐπιθήσουσι χεῖρα αὐτῶν.
9For they are falsely prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, declares the LORD.”
10ὅτι ἐγὼ κατέσυρα τὸν Ἡσαῦ, ἀνεκάλυψα τά κρυπτὰ αὐτῶν, κρυβῆναι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται· ὤλοντο διά χεῖρα ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ γείτονος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν
10For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
11ὑπολείπεσθαι ὀρφανόν σου, ἵνα ζήσητε· καὶ ἐγὼ ζήσομαι, καὶ αἱ χῆραι ἐπ' ἐμὲ πεποίθασιν.
11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
12ὅτι τάδε εἶπε Κύριος· οἷς οὐκ ἦν νόμος πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον, ἔπιον· καὶ σὺ ἀθῳωμένη οὐ μὴ ἀθῳωθῇς, ὅτι πίνων πίεσαι·
12Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13ὅτι κατ' ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν καὶ εἰς κατάρασιν ἔσῃ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἔσονται ἔρημοι εἰς αἰῶνα.
13You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
14ἀκοὴν ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ ἀγγέλους εἰς ἔθνη ἀπέστειλε· συνάχθητε καὶ παραγένεσθε εἰς αὐτήν, ἀνάστητε εἰς πόλεμον.
14I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
15μικρὸν ἔδωκά σε ἐν ἔθνεσιν, εὐκαταφρόνητον ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
15Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
16ἡ παιγνία σου ἐνεχείρησέ σοι, ἰταμία καρδίας σου κατέλυσε τρυμαλιὰς πετρῶν, συνέλαβεν ἰσχὺν βουνοῦ ὑψηλοῦ· ὅτι ὕψωσεν ὥσπερ ἀετὸς νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ, ἐκεῖθεν καθελῶ σε·
16this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—
17καὶ ἔσται ἡ Ἰδουμαία εἰς ἄβατον, πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπ' αὐτὴν συριεῖ.
17this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.
18ὥσπερ κατεστράφη Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα καὶ αἱ πάροικοι αὐτῆς, εἶπε Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, οὐ μὴ καθίσει ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσει ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.
18I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them.
19ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ λέων ἀναβήσεται ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου εἰς τόπον Αἰθάμ, ὅτι ταχὺ ἐκδιώξω αὐτοὺς ἀπ' αὐτῆς· καὶ τοὺς νεανίσκους ἐπ' αὐτὴν ἐπιστήσατε, ὅτι τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι; καὶ τίς οὗτος ποιμήν, ὃς στήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου;
19I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
20διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε βουλὴν Κυρίου, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ λογισμὸν αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλογίσατο ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Θαιμάν· ἐὰν μὴ συμψηθῶσι τὰ ἐλάχιστα τῶν προβάτων, ἐὰν μὴ ἀβατωθῇ ἐπ' αὐτοὺς κατάλυσις αὐτῶν·
20So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21ὅτι ἀπὸ φωνῆς πτώσεως αὐτῶν ἐφοβήθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ κραυγή σου ἐν θαλάσσῃ ἠκούσθη.
21This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
22ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ ἀετὸς ὄψεται καὶ ἐκτενεῖ τὰς πτέρυγας ἐπ' ὀχυρώματα αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔσται ἡ καρδία τῶν ἰσχυρῶν τῆς Ἰδουμαίας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὡς καρδία γυναικὸς ὠδινούσης.
22Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
