1ΚΑΙ ἐβασίλευσε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Ἰωσία ἀντὶ Ἰωακείμ, ὃν ἐβασίλευσε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεύειν τοῦ Ἰούδα·
1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἱερεμίου.
2“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. Behold, today they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
3καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σεδεκίας τὸν Ἰωάχαλ υἱὸν Σελεμίου καὶ τὸν Σοφονίαν υἱὸν Μαασαίου τὸν ἱερέα πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν λέγων· πρόσευξαι δὴ περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον.
3because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods that they didn’t know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
4καὶ Ἱερεμίας ἦλθε καὶ διῆλθε διὰ μέσου τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς φυλακῆς.
4However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, “Oh, don’t do this abominable thing that I hate.”
5καὶ δύναμις Φαραὼ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5But they didn’t listen and didn’t incline their ear. They didn’t turn from their wickedness, to stop burning incense to other gods.
6καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν λέγων·
6Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is today.’
7οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· οὕτως ἐρεῖς πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα πρὸς σὲ τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαί με· ἰδοὺ δύναμις Φαραὼ ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ὑμῖν εἰς βοήθειαν ἀποστρέψουσιν εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου,
7“Therefore now the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the middle of Judah, to leave yourselves no one remaining,
8καὶ ἀναστρέψουσιν αὐτοὶ οἱ Χαλδαῖοι, καὶ πολεμήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ συλλήψονται αὐτὴν καὶ καύσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί.
8in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· μὴ ὑπολάβητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν λέγοντες· ἀποτρέχοντες ἀπελεύσονται ἀφ' ἡμῶν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι, ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἀπέλθωσι·
9Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10καὶ ἐὰν πατάξητε πᾶσαν δύναμιν τῶν Χαλδαίων τοὺς πολεμοῦντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ καταλειφθῶσί τινες ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ, οὗτοι ἀναστήσονται καὶ καύσουσι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἐν πυρί.
10They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.’
11Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἀνέβη ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως Φαραώ,
11“Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12ἐξῆλθεν Ἱερεμίας ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Βενιαμὶν τοῦ ἀγοράσαι ἐκεῖθεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.
12I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they will all be consumed. They will fall in the land of Egypt. They will be consumed by the sword and by the famine. They will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine. They will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach.
13καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτὸς ἐν πύλῃ Βενιαμίν, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, παρ' ᾧ κατέλυε, Σαρουΐα υἱὸς Σελεμίου, υἱοῦ Ἀνανίου, καὶ συνέλαβε τὸν Ἱερεμίαν λέγων· πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους σὺ φεύγεις;
13For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
14καὶ εἶπε· ψεῦδος, οὐκ εἰς τοὺς Χαλδαίους ἐγὼ φεύγω. καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτοῦ καὶ συνέλαβε Σαρουΐα τὸν Ἱερεμίαν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας.
14so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, will escape or be left to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there; for no one will return except those who will escape.’”
15καὶ ἐπικράνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐπὶ Ἱερεμίαν καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ γραμματέως, ὅτι ταύτην ἐποίησαν εἰς οἰκίαν φυλακῆς.
15Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱερεμίας εἰς οἰκίαν τοῦ λάκκου καὶ εἰς τὴν χερὲθ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας πολλάς·
16“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you.
17καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σεδεκίας καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς κρυφαίως εἰπεῖν, εἰ ἔστιν ὁ λόγος παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπεν· ἔστιν· εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος παραδοθήσῃ.
17But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
18καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας τῷ βασιλεῖ· τί ἠδίκησά σε καὶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, ὅτι σὺ δίδως με εἰς οἰκίαν φυλακῆς;
18But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of the sky, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.”
19καὶ ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ προφῆται ὑμῶν οἱ προφητεύσαντες ὑμῖν λέγοντες· ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην;
19The women said, “When we burned incense to the queen of the sky and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
20καὶ νῦν, κύριε βασιλεῦ, πεσέτω τὸ ἔλεός μου κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ τί ἀποστρέφεις με εἰς οἰκίαν Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ γραμματέως καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνω ἐκεῖ;
20Then Jeremiah said to all the people—to the men and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
21καὶ συνέταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐνεβάλοσαν αὐτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν τῆς φυλακῆς καὶ ἐδίδοσαν αὐτῷ ἄρτον ἕνα τῆς ἡμέρας ἔξωθεν οὗ πέσσουσιν, ἕως ἐξέλιπον οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκ τῆς πόλεως. καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἱερεμίας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς.
21“The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, didn’t the LORD remember them, and didn’t it come into his mind?
