1Καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐννάτῳ τοῦ Σεδεκία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, παρεγένετο Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
1The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
2Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ, ἐννάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐῤῥάγη ἡ πόλις,
2Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3καὶ εἰσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγούμενοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ Μαργανασὰρ, καὶ Σαμαγὼθ, καὶ Ναβουσάχαρ, καὶ Ναβουσαρεὶς, Ναγαργᾶς, Νασεῤῥαβαμὰθ, καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἡγεμόνες βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.

13The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐξ αὐλῆς τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Γοδολίαν υἱὸν Ἀχεικὰμ, υἱοῦ Σαφὰν, καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.
14Declare ye in Egypt, and announce in Migdol, and announce in Noph and in Tahpanhes; say ye: 'Stand forth, and prepare thee, for the sword hath devoured round about thee.'
15Καὶ πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, λέγων,
15Why is thy strong one overthrown? He stood not, because the LORD did thrust him down.
16πορεύου καὶ εἰπὲ πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά.
16He made many to stumble; yea, they fell one upon another, and said: 'Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.'
17Καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,
17They cried there: 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.'
18ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου εἰς εὕρημα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, φησὶ Κύριος.
18As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
