King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Thus saith the LORD ; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
1ΤΑΔΕ λέγει Κύριος· πορεύου καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα καὶ λαλήσεις ἐκεῖ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον
2And say, Hear the word of the LORD , O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
2καὶ ἐρεῖς· ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου, βασιλεῦ Ἰούδα ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυίδ, σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ λαός σου καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις·
3Thus saith the LORD ; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
3τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ποιεῖτε κρίσιν καὶ δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐξαιρεῖσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύετε καὶ μὴ ἀσεβῆτε καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.
4For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
4διότι ἐὰν ποιοῦντες ποιήσητε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, καὶ εἰσελεύσονται ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τοῦ οἴκου τούτου βασιλεῖς καθήμενοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐφ' ἁρμάτων καὶ ἵππων, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν·
5But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD , that this house shall become a desolation.
5ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε τοὺς λόγους τούτους, κατ' ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἔσται ὁ οἶκος οὗτος.
6For thus saith the LORD unto the king’s house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
6ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος κατὰ τοῦ οἴκου βασιλέως Ἰούδα· Γαλαὰδ σύ μοι, ἀρχὴ τοῦ Λιβάνου, ἐὰν μὴ θῶ σε εἰς ἔρημον, πόλεις μὴ κατοικηθησομένας·
7And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
7καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ ὀλοθρεύοντα ἄνδρα καὶ τὸν πέλεκυν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκκόψουσι τὰς ἐκλεκτὰς κέδρους σου καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν εἰς τὸ πῦρ.
8And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?
8καὶ διελεύσονται ἔθνη διὰ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ ἐρεῖ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· διατί ἐποίησε Κύριος οὕτως τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ τῇ μεγάλῃ;
9Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
9καὶ ἐροῦσιν· ἀνθ' ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς.
10¶ Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
10Μὴ κλαίετε τὸν τεθνηκότα μηδὲ θρηνεῖτε αὐτόν· κλαύσατε κλαυμῷ τὸν ἐκπορευόμενον, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει ἔτι, οὐδὲ ὄψεται τὴν γῆν πατρίδος αὐτοῦ.
11For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
11διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ Σελλὴμ υἱὸν Ἰωσία τὸν βασιλεύοντα ἀντὶ Ἰωσίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου· οὐκ ἀναστρέψει ἐκεῖ ἔτι,
12But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
12ἀλλ' ἢ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, οὗ μετῴκισα αὐτόν, ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην οὐκ ὄψεται ἔτι.
13¶ Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
13Ὦ ὁ οἰκοδομῶν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ οὐ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης καὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν κρίματι, παρὰ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐργᾶται δωρεὰν καὶ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ.
14That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
14ᾠκοδόμησας σεαυτῷ οἶκον σύμμετρον, ὑπερῷα ριπιστὰ διεσταλμένα θυρίσι καὶ ἐξυλωμένα ἐν κέδρῳ καὶ κεχρισμένα ἐν μίλτῳ.
15Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
15μὴ βασιλεύσῃς, ὅτι σὺ παροξύνῃ ἐν Ἄχαζ τῷ πατρί σου; οὐ φάγονται καὶ οὐ πίονται· βέλτιον ἦν σὲ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD .
16οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ταπεινῷ οὐδὲ κρίσιν πένητος· οὐ τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ μὴ γνῶναί σε ἐμέ, λέγει Κύριος;
17But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it .
17ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου οὐδὲ ἡ καρδία σου καλή, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν πλεονεξίαν σου καὶ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἀθῷον τοῦ ἐκχέειν αὐτὸ καὶ εἰς ἀδικήματα καὶ εἰς φόνον τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτά.
18Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying , Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying , Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
18διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱὸν Ἰωσία βασιλέα Ἰούδα· οὐαὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον· οὐ μὴ κόψονται αὐτόν· ὦ ἀδελφέ, οὐδὲ μὴ κλαύσονται αὐτόν· οἴμοι Κύριε.
19He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
19ταφὴν ὄνου ταφήσεται, συμψηθεὶς ριφήσεται ἐπέκεινα τῆς πύλης Ἱερουσαλήμ.
20¶ Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
20Ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν Λίβανον καὶ κράξον καὶ εἰς τὴν Βασὰν δὸς τὴν φωνήν σου καὶ βόησον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν πάντες οἱ ἐρασταί σου.
21I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
21ἐλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐν τῇ παραπτώσει σου, καὶ εἶπας· οὐκ ἀκούσομαι· αὕτη ἡ ὁδός σου ἐκ νεότητός σου, οὐκ ἤκουσας τῆς φωνῆς μου.
22The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
22πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας σου ποιμανεῖ ἄνεμος, καὶ οἱ ἐρασταί σου ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐξελεύσονται· ὅτι τότε αἰσχυνθήσῃ καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν φιλούντων σε.
23O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
23κατοικοῦσα ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, ἐννοσσεύουσα ἐν ταῖς κέδροις, καταστενάξεις ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν σοι ὀδύνας ὡς τικτούσης.
24As I live, saith the LORD , though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
24ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν γενόμενος γένηται Ἰεχονίας υἱὸς Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἀποσφράγισμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, ἐκεῖθεν ἐκσπάσω σε
25And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
25καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὧν σὺ εὐλαβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων·
26And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
26καὶ ἀπορρίψω σε καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου τὴν τεκοῦσάν σε εἰς γῆν, οὗ οὐκ ἐτέχθης ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖσθε.
27But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
27εἰς δὲ τὴν γῆν, ἣν αὐτοὶ εὔχονται ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν, οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψωσιν.
28Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
28ἠτιμώθη Ἰεχονίας ὡς σκεῦος, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐξερρίφη καὶ ἐξεβλήθη εἰς γῆν, ἣν οὐκ ᾔδει.
29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD .
29γῆ γῆ ἀκουε λόγον Κυρίου·
30Thus saith the LORD , Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
30γράψον τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον ἐκκήρυκτον ἄνθρωπον, ὅτι οὐ μὴ αὐξηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ ἄρχων ἔτι ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ.
