1The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
1ΤΟ ρῆμα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Ἱερεμίαν τὸν τοῦ Χελκίου ἐκ τῶν ἱερέων, ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ἀναθὼθ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμείν·
2The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
2ὡς ἐγενήθη λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἰωσία υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἔτους τρισκαιδεκάτου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ·
3It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
3καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἰωακεὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἕως ἑνδεκάτου ἔτους τοῦ Σεδεκία υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἕως τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνί.
4Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
4Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με·
5“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
5πρὸ τοῦ με πλάσαι σε ἐν κοιλίᾳ ἐπίσταμαί σε καὶ πρὸ τοῦ σε ἐξελθεῖν ἐκ μήτρας ἡγίακά σε, προφήτην εἰς ἔθνη τέθεικά σε.
6Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
6καὶ εἶπα· ὦ δέσποτα Κύριε, ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἐπίσταμαι λαλεῖν, ὅτι νεώτερος ἐγώ εἰμι.
7But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
7καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· μὴ λέγε ὅτι νεώτερος ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι πρὸς πάντας, οὓς ἐὰν ἐξαποστείλω σε, πορεύσῃ, καὶ κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαί σοι, λαλήσεις·
8Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
8μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, λέγει Κύριος.
9Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
9καὶ ἐξέτεινε Κύριος τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ πρός με καὶ ἥψατο τοῦ στόματός μου, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου·
10Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
10ἰδοὺ καθέστακά σε σήμερον ἐπὶ ἔθνη καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλείας ἐκριζοῦν καὶ κατασκάπτειν καὶ ἀπολλύειν καὶ ἀνοικοδομεῖν καὶ καταφυτεύειν.
11Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
11Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· τί σὺ ὁρᾷς Ἱερεμία; καὶ εἶπε· βακτηρίαν καρυΐνην.
12Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
12καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· καλῶς ἑώρακας, διότι ἐγρήγορα ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τοὺς λόγους μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς.
13The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
13καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρός με λέγων· τί σὺ ὁρᾷς; καὶ εἶπα· λέβητα ὑποκαιόμενον, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου βορρᾶ.
14Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
14καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἀπὸ προσώπου βορρᾶ ἐκκαυθήσεται τὰ κακὰ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν.
15For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
15διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συγκαλῶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἥξουσι καὶ θήσουσιν ἕκαστος τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῶν πυλῶν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ τείχη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα.
16I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
16καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ κρίσεως περὶ πάσης τῆς κακίας αὐτῶν, ὡς ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἔθυσαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις καὶ προσεκύνησαν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
17“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
17καὶ σὺ περίζωσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ ἀνάστηθι καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτοὺς πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι· μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, μηδὲ πτοηθῇς ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, ὅτι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, λέγει Κύριος.
18For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
18ἰδοὺ τέθεικά σε ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὡς πόλιν ὀχυρὰν καὶ ὡς τεῖχος χαλκοῦν, ὀχυρὸν πᾶσι τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς,
19They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
19καὶ πολεμήσουσί σε καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται πρός σε, διότι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, εἶπε Κύριος.
