King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD , when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
1Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ Ὁ ΓΕΝΟΜΕΝΟΣ ΠΑΡΑ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ, ὍΤΕ ἈΠΕΣΤΕΙΛΕ ΠΡΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΝ Ὁ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΣΕΔΕΚΙΑΣ ΤΟΝ ΠΑΣΧΩΡ ΥΙΟΝ ΜΕΓΧΙΟΥ, ΚΑΙ ΣΟΦΟΝΙΑΝ ΥΙΟΝ ΒΑΣΑΙΟΥ ΤΟΝ ἹΕΡΕΑ, ΛΕΓΩΝ,
2Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
2ἐπερώτησον περὶ ἡμῶν τὸν Κύριον· ὅτι βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐφέστηκεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς· εἰ ποιήσει Κύριος κατὰ πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἀφʼ ἡμῶν.
3¶ Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
3Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἱερεμίας, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα,
4Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
4τὰδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεταστρέφω τὰ ὅπλα τὰ πολεμικὰ, ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς πολεμεῖτε ἐν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ἔξωθεν τοῦ τείχους· καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως ταύτης,
5And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
5καὶ πολεμήσω ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ ἐκτεταμένῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι κραταιῷ μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς μεγάλης.
6And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
6Καὶ πατάξω πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἐν θανάτῳ μεγάλῳ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται.
7And afterward, saith the LORD , I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
7Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως λέγει Κύριος, δώσω τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν λαὸν καταλειφθέντα ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ θανάτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μαχαίρας, εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας· οὐ φείσομαι ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ οἰκτειρήσω αὐτούς.
8¶ And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD ; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
8Καὶ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θανάτου.
9He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
9Ὁ καθήμενος ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, ἀποθανεῖται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ· καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος προσχωρῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς, ζήσεται, καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς σκῦλα, καὶ ζήσεται.
10For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD : it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
10Διότι ἐστήρικα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ, καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά· εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος παραδοθήσεται, καὶ κατακαύσει αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί.
11¶ And touching the house of the king of Judah, say , Hear ye the word of the LORD ;
11Ὁ οἶκος βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.
12O house of David, thus saith the LORD ; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it , because of the evil of your doings.
12Οἶκος Δαυὶδ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κρίνατε πρωῒ κρίμα, καὶ κατευθύνατε, καὶ ἐξέλεσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν, ὅπως μὴ ἀναφθῇ ὡς πῦρ ἡ ὀργή μου, καὶ καυθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων.
13Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD ; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
13Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν κοιλάδα σὸρ, τὴν πεδεινὴν, τοὺς λέγοντας, τίς πτοήσει ἡμᾶς; ἢ τίς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς τὸ κατοικητήριον ἡμῶν;
14But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD : and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
14Καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔδεται πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.
