1The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ τοῦ Σεδεκία βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ παρεγένετο Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
2Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
2καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ, ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἐρράγη ἡ πόλις.
3“Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
3καὶ εἰσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγούμενοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ Ναργαλασὰρ καὶ Σαμαγὼθ καὶ Ναβουσαχὰρ καὶ Ναβουσαρεῖς καὶ Ναγαργασνασὲρ Ραβαμὰγ καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἡγεμόνες βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος·
4Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

14“Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
14καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐξ αὐλῆς τῆς φυλακῆς καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Γοδολίαν υἱὸν Ἀχεικὰμ υἱοῦ Σαφάν· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.
15Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
15Καὶ πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων·
16He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
16πορεύου καὶ εἰπὲ πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά,
17They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
17καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,
18“As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
18ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς. καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου εἰς εὕρημα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπ' ἐμοί, φησὶ Κύριος.
