ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ 8

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐξοίσουσι τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα, καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἀρχόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἱερέων, καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ προφητῶν, καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐκ τῶν τάφων αὐτῶν,
1At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
2καὶ ψύξουσιν αὐτὰ πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον καὶ τὴν σελήνην, καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς ἀστέρας, καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιὰν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἃ ἠγάπησαν, καὶ οἷς ἐδούλευσαν, καὶ ὧν ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, καὶ ὧν ἀντείχοντο, καὶ οἷς προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς· οὐ κοπήσονται, καὶ οὐ ταφήσονται, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς παράδειγμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπου τῆς γῆς,
2and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3ὅτι εἵλοντο τὸν θάνατον ἢ τὴν ζωὴν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς καταλοίποις τοῖς καταλειφθεῖσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ἐκείνης, ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ οὗ ἐὰν ἐξώσω αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
3And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
4Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, μὴ ὁ πίπτων οὐκ ἀνίσταται; ἢ ὁ ἀποστρέφων οὐκ ἀναστρέφει;
4Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
5Διατί ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ λαός μου οὗτος ἀποστροφὴν ἀναιδῆ, καὶ κατεκρατήθησαν ἐν τῇ προαιρέσει αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι;
5Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6ἐνωτίσασθε δὴ, καὶ ἀκούσατε· οὐχ οὕτω λαλήσουσιν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ μετανοῶν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ, λέγων, τί ἐποίησα; διέλιπεν ὁ τρέχων ἀπὸ τοῦ δρόμου αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἵππος κάθιδρος ἐν χρεμετισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
6I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
7Καὶ ἡ ἀσίδα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἔγνω τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῆς, τρυγὼν καὶ χελιδὼν ἀγροῦ, στρουθία ἐφύλαξαν καιροὺς εἰσόδων ἑαυτῶν, ὁ δὲ λαός μου οὗτος οὐκ ἔγνω τὰ κρίματα Κυρίου.
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
8Πῶς ἐρεῖτε, ὅτι σοφοί ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς, καὶ νόμος Κυρίου μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἐστιν; εἰς μάτην ἐγενήθη σχοῖνος ψευδὴς γραμματεῦσιν.
8How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
9Ἠσχύνθησαν σοφοὶ, καὶ ἐπτοήθησαν καὶ ἑάλωσαν, ὅτι τὸν νόμον Κυρίου ἀπεδοκίμασαν· σοφία τίς ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς;
9The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10Διατοῦτο δώσω τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἑτέροις, καὶ τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτῶν τοῖς κληρονόμοις,
10Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

11And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
no verse 12 in this text
12They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
13καὶ συνάξουσι τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῶν, λέγει Κύριος. Οὐκ ἔστι σταφυλὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀμπέλοις, καὶ οὐκ ἐστι σῦκα ἐν ταῖς συκαῖς, καὶ τὰ φύλλα κατεῤῥύηκεν.
13I will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
14Ἐπὶ τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα; συνάχθητε, καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς, καὶ ἀποῤῥιφῶμεν ἐκεῖ, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἀπέῤῥιψεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐπότισεν ἡμᾶς ὕδωρ χολῆς, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
14'Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15Συνήχθημεν εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀγαθὰ, εἰς καιρὸν ἰάσεως, καὶ ἰδοὺ σπουδή.
15We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!'
16Ἐκ Δὰν ἀκουσόμεθα φωνὴν ὀξύτητος ἵππων αὐτοῦ· ἀπὸ φωνῆς χρεμετισμοῦ ἱππασίας ἵππων αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ γῆ. καὶ ἥξει καὶ καταφάγεται τὴν γῆν, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς, πόλιν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ.
16The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those that dwell therein.
17Διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω εἰς ὑμᾶς ὄφεις θανατοῦντας, οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπᾴσαι, καὶ δήξονται ὑμᾶς
17For, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18ἀνίατα μετʼ ὀδύνης καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπορουμένης.
18Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
19Ἰδοὺ φωνὴ κραυγῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ἀπὸ γῆς μακρόθεν· μὴ Κύριος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν Σιών; ἢ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ; διότι παρώργισάν με ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν ματαίοις ἀλλοτρίοις.
19Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?' — 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?' —
20Διῆλθε θέρος, παρῆλθεν ἀμητὸς, καὶ ἡμεῖς οὐ διεσώθημεν.
20'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
21Ἐπὶ συντρίμματι θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ἐσκοτώθην· ἐν ἀπορίᾳ κατίσχυσάν με ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης.
21For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on me.
22Καὶ μὴ ῥητίνη οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν Γαλαὰδ, ἢ ἰατρὸς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ; διατί οὐκ ἀνέβη ἴασις θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου;
22Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
23Τίς δώσει κεφαλῇ μου ὕδωρ, καὶ ὀφθαλμοῖς μου πηγὴν δακρύων; καὶ κλαύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς, τοὺς τετραυματισμένους θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου.
