Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, πορεύου καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ λαλήσεις ἐκεῖ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον,
1Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,
2καὶ ἐρεῖς, Ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου βασιλεῦ Ἰούδα, ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ λαός σου, καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις·
2And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates.
3Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ποιεῖτε κρίσιν καὶ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ ἐξαιρεῖσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν, καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύετε, καὶ μὴ ἀσεβεῖτε, καὶ αἷμα ἀθῶον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.
3Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.
4Διότι ἐὰν ποιοῦντες ποιήσητε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, καὶ εἰσελεύσονται ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τοῦ οἴκου τούτου βασιλεῖς καθήμενοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐφʼ ἁρμάτων καὶ ἵππων, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν.
4For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.
5Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε τοὺς λόγους τούτους, κατʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἔσται ὁ οἶκος οὗτος.
5But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
6Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος κατὰ τοῦ οἴκου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, Γαλαὰδ σύ μοι ἀρχὴ τοῦ Λιβάνου, ἐὰν μὴ θῶ σε εἰς ἔρημον, πόλεις μὴ κατοικηθησομένας,
6For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
7καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ ὀλοθρεύοντα ἄνδρα, καὶ τὸν πέλεκυν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκκόψουσι τὰς ἐκλεκτὰς κέδρους σου, καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν εἰς τὸ πῦρ.
7And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.
8Καὶ διελεύσονται ἔθνη διὰ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, καὶ ἐρεῖ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, διατί ἐποίησε Κύριος οὕτως τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ τῇ μεγάλῃ;
8And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
9Καὶ ἐροῦσιν, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς.
9And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.
10Μὴ κλαίετε τὸν τεθνηκότα, μηδὲ θρηνεῖτε αὐτόν· κλαύσατε κλαυθμῷ τὸν ἐκπορευόμενον, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει ἔτι, οὐδὲ ὄψεται τὴν γῆν πατρίδος αὐτοῦ.
10Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
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,
11For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:
12ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ οὗ μετῴκισα αὐτὸν, ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην οὐκ ὄψεται ἔτι.
12But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.
13Ὁ 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.
13Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgement: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.
14Ὠκοδόμησας σεαυτῷ οἶκον σύμμετρον, ὑπερῷα ῥιπιστὰ διεσταλμένα θυρίσι, καὶ ἐξυλωμένα ἐν κέδρῳ, καὶ κεχρισμένα ἐν μίλτῳ.
14Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.
15Μὴ βασιλεύσῃς, ὅτι σὺ παροξυνῇ ἐν Ἄχαζ τῷ πατρί σου; οὐ φάγονται, καὶ οὐ πίονται· βέλτιόν σε ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
15Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?
16Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ταπεινῷ, οὐδὲ κρίσιν πένητος· οὐ τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ μὴ γηῶναί σε ἐμὲ; λέγει Κύριος.
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
17Ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου, οὐδὲ ἡ καρδία σου καλὴ, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν πλεονεξίαν σου, καὶ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἀθῶον τοῦ ἐκχέαι αὐτὸ, καὶ εἰς ἀδικήματα καὶ εἰς φόνον, τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτά.
17But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
18Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱὸν Ἰωσία βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον, οὐ κόψονται αὐτὸν, ὦ ἀδελφὲ, οὐδὲ μὴ κλαύσονται αὐτὸν, οἴμοι Κύριε.
18Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my Lord, or, Alas, the noble one.
19Ταφὴν ὄνου ταφήσεται, συμψησθεὶς ῥιφήσεται ἐπέκεινα τῆς πύλης Ἱερουσαλήμ.
19He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.
20Ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν Λίβανον, καὶ κράξον, καὶ εἰς τὴν Βασὰν δὸς τὴν φωνήν σου, καὶ βόησον εἰς τὸ πέρας τῆς θαλάσσης, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν πάντες οἱ ἐρασταί σου.
20Go up to Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21Ἐλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐν τῇ παραπτώσει σου, καὶ εἶπας, οὐκ ἀκούσομαι· αὕτη ἡ ὁδός σου ἐκ νεότητός σου, οὐκ ἤκουσας τῆς φωνῆς μου.
21I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
22Πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας σου ποιμανεῖ ἄνεμος, καὶ οἱ ἐρασταί σου ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐξελεύσονται, ὅτι τότε αἰσχυνθήσῃ καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν φιλούντων σε.
22The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
23Κατοικοῦσα ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, ἐννοσσεύουσα ἐν ταῖς κέδροις, καταστενάξεις ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν σοι ὀδύνας ὡς τικτούσης.
23Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?
24Ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν γενόμενος γένηται Ἰεχονίας υἱὸς Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἀποσφράγισμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, ἐκεῖθεν ἐκσπάσω σε,
24As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.
25καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὧν σὺ εὐλαβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων,
25And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26καὶ ἀποῤῥίψω σε καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου τὴν τεκοῦσάν σε εἰς γῆν, οὗ οὐκ ἐτέχθης ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖσθε·
26And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:
27Εἰς δὲ τὴν γῆν ἣν αὐτοὶ εὔχονται ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν, οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψωσιν.
27And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.
28Ἠτιμώθη Ἰεχονίας ὡς σκεῦος οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐξεῤῥίφη, καὶ ἐξεβλήθη εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ ᾔδει.
28Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29Γῆ, γῆ ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου,
29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
30γράψον τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον ἐκκήρυκτον ἄνθρωπον, ὅτι οὐ μὴ αὐξηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, ἄρχων ἔτι ἐν τῷ Ἰούδα.
30Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.
