Jeremiah 25
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
1Ο λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ τοῦ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα,
2which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
2ὃν ἐλάλησε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ λέγων·
3From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, speaking betimes and often; but ye have not hearkened.
3ἐν τῷ τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει Ἰωσία υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς βασιλέως Ἰούδα καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εἴκοσι καὶ τρία ἔτη καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὀρθρίζων καὶ λέγων
4And the LORD hath sent unto you all His servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often — but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear —
4καὶ ἀπέστελλον πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς δούλους μου τοὺς προφήτας, ὄρθρου ἀποστέλλων, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε καὶ οὐ προσέσχετε τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν,
5saying: 'Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, for ever and ever;
5λέγων· ἀποστράφητε ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν, καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ἀπ' αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος.
6and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke Me not with the work of your hands, and I will do you no hurt.'
6μὴ πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοῦ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς, ὅπως μὴ παροργίζητέ με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν τοῦ κακῶσαι ὑμᾶς·
7Yet ye have not hearkened unto Me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke Me with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
7καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου.
8Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Because ye have not heard My words,
8διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε τοῖς λόγοις μου,
9behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
9ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω καὶ λήψομαι τὴν πατριὰν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἄξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξερημώσω αὐτοὺς καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συριγμὸν καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν αἰώνιον·
10Moreover I will cause to cease from among them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
10καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀπ' αὐτῶν φωνὴν χαρᾶς καὶ φωνὴν εὐφροσύνης, φωνὴν νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴν νύμφης, ὀσμὴν μύρου καὶ φῶς λύχνου.
11And this whole land shall be a desolation, and a waste; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
11καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ δουλεύσουσιν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη.
12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it perpetual desolations.
12καὶ ἐν τῷ πληρωθῆναι τὰ ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, ἐκδικήσω τὸ ἔθνος ἐκεῖνο, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν αἰώνιον·
13And I will bring upon that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
13καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην πάντας τοὺς λόγους μου, οὓς ἐλάλησα κατ' αὐτῆς, πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.
14For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands.
14Τὰ Αἰλάμ. Τάδε λέγει Κύριος· συνετρίβη τὸ τόξον Αἰλάμ, ἀρχὴ δυναστείας αὐτῶν.
15For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
15καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ Αἰλὰμ τέσσαρας ἀνέμους ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἄκρων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἀνέμοις τούτοις, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἔθνος, ὃ οὐχ ἥξει ἐκεῖ, οἱ ἐξωσμένοι Αἰλάμ.
16And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be like madmen, because of the sword that I will send among them. —
16καὶ πτοήσω αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπ' αὐτοὺς κακὰ κατά τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου καὶ ἐπαποστελῶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν τὴν μάχαιράν μου ἕως τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς.
17Then took I the cup of the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
17καὶ θήσω τὸν θρόνον μου ἐν Αἰλὰμ καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐκεῖθεν βασιλέα καὶ μεγιστᾶνας.
18Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them an appalment, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
18καὶ ἔσται ἐπ' ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Αἰλάμ, λέγει Κύριος. Ἐν ἀρχῇ βασιλεύοντος Σεδεκίου βασιλέως ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος οὗτος περὶ Αἰλάμ.
19Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
