1Ο λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν παρὰ Κυρίου εἰπεῖν·
1Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
2οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐχρημάτισα πρός σε, ἐπὶ βιβλίου.
2But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
3ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν λαοῦ μου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, εἶπε Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῆς.
3Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”
4Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι, οὓς ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα.
4Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
5οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· φωνὴν φόβου ἀκούσεσθε· φόβος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν είρήνη.
5Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
6ἐρωτήσατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν, καὶ περὶ φόβου, ἐν ᾧ καθέξουσιν ὀσφὺν καὶ σωτηρίαν· διότι ἑώρακα πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, ἐστράφησαν πρόσωπα, εἰς ἴκτερον ἐγενήθη.
6Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet:
7ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν τοιαύτη, καὶ χρόνος στενός ἐστι τῷ Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου σωθήσεται.
7“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt.
8ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, εἶπε Κύριος, συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διαρρήξω, καὶ οὐκ ἐργῶνται αὐτοὶ ἔτι ἀλλοτρίοις·
8Then the Chaldeans will return and fight against this city. They will capture it and burn it down.
9καὶ ἐργῶνται τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ βασιλέα αὐτῶν ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς.
9This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, ‘The Chaldeans will go away for good,’ for they will not!

10Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”

11When the Chaldean army withdrew from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
12Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἀνέστησα σύντριμμα, ἀλγηρὰ ἡ πληγή σου·
12Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
13οὐκ ἔστι κρίνων κρίσιν σου, εἰς ἀλγηρὸν ἰατρεύθης, ὠφέλειά σοι οὐκ ἔστι.
13But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
14πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου ἐπελάθοντό σου, οὐ μὴ ἐπερωτήσωσιν· ὅτι πληγὴν ἐχθροῦ ἔπαισά σε, παιδείαν στερεάν· ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἀδικίαν σου ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.
14“That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took him to the officials.

15The officials were angry with Jeremiah, and they beat him and placed him in jail in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
16διὰ τοῦτο πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντές σε βρωθήσονται, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κρέας αὐτῶν πᾶν ἔδονται· ἐπὶ πλῆθος ἀδικιῶν σου ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου, ἐποίησαν ταῦτά σοι· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ διαφοροῦντές σε εἰς διαφόρημα, καὶ πάντας τοὺς προνομεύσαντάς σε δώσω εἰς προνομήν.
16So Jeremiah went into a cell in the dungeon and remained there a long time.
17ὅτι ἀνάξω τὸ ἴαμά σου, ἀπὸ πληγῆς ὀδυνηρᾶς ἰατρεύσω σε, φησὶ Κύριος, ὅτι Ἐσπαρμένη ἐκλήθης· θήρευμα ὑμῶν ἐστιν, ὅτι ζητῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτήν.
17Later, King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
18οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ ἐλεήσω· καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ ναὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ καθεδεῖται.
18Then Jeremiah asked King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?
19καὶ ἐξελεύσονται ἀπ' αὐτῶν ᾄδοντες καὶ φωνὴ παιζόντων· καὶ πλεονάσω αὐτούς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλαττωθῶσι.
19Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?
20καὶ εἰσελεύσονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ὡς τὸ πρότερον, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ὀρθωθήσεται· καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτούς.
20But now please listen, O my lord the king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
21καὶ ἔσονται ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐπ' αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ ἄρχων αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται· καὶ συνάξω αὐτούς, καὶ ἀποστρέψουσι πρός με, ὅτι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος, ὃς ἔδωκε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψαι πρός με; φησὶ Κύριος.
21So King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
23ὅτι ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐξῆλθε θυμώδης, ἐξῆλθεν ὀργὴ στρεφομένη, ἐπ' ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει.

24οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, ἕως ποιήσῃ καὶ ἕως καταστήσῃ ἐγχείρημα καρδίας αὐτοῦ· ἐπ' ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν γνώσεσθε αὐτά.
