Jeremias 10

1Hear you the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel.Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ.

2Thus says the Lord, Learn you not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, falling on their faces.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν μὴ μανθάνετε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σημείων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μὴ φοβεῖσθε, ὅτι φοβοῦνται αὐτὰ τοῖς προσώποις αὐτῶν.

3For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image.Ὅτι τὰ νόμιμα τῶν ἐθνῶν μάταια· ξύλον ἐστὶν ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ ἐκκεκομμένον, ἔργον τέκτονος, καὶ χώνευμα,

4They are beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails;ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ κεκαλλωπισμένα, ἐν σφύραις καὶ ἥλοις ἐστερέωσαν αὐτά·

5they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they can’t ride of themselves. Fear them not; for they can’t do any evil, and there is no good in them.Θήσουσιν αὐτὰ, καὶ οὐ κινηθήσονται· ἀργύριον τορευτόν ἐστιν, οὐ πορεύσονται,

9ἀργύριον προσβλητόν ἐστιν. Ἀπὸ Θαρσεὶς ἥξει χρυσίον Μωφὰζ, καὶ χεὶρ χρυσοχόων, ἔργα τεχνιτῶν πάντα, ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐνδύσουσιν αὐτά.

9aΑἰρόμενα ἀρθήσονται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιβήσονται· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτὰ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κακοποιήσωσι, καὶ ἀγαθὸν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς.

11Thus shall you say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky.Οὕτως ἐρεῖτε αὐτοῖς, θεοὶ οἳ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐποίησαν, ἀπολέσθωσαν ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τούτου.

12It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky,Κύριος ὁ ποιήσας τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ, ὁ ἀνορθώσας τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ ἐξέτεινε τὸν οὐρανὸν,

13and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures.καὶ πλῆθος ὕδατος ἐν οὐρανῷ· καὶ ἀνήγαγε νεφέλας ἐξ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησε, καὶ ἐξήγαγε φῶς ἐκ θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ.

14Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.Ἐμωράνθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ γνώσεως, κατῃσχύνθη πᾶς χρυσοχόος ἐπὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐχώνευσεν, οὐκ ἔστι πνεῦμα ἐν αὐτοῖς.

15They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.Μάταιά ἐστιν ἔργα ἐμπεπαιγμένα, ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς αὐτῶν ἀπολοῦνται.

16Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.Οὐκ ἔστι τοιαύτη μερὶς τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ὅτι ὁ πλάσας τὰ πάντα, αὐτὸς κληρονομία αὐτοῦ, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

17He has gathered your substance from without the lodged in choice vessels.Συνήγαγεν ἔξωθεν τὴν ὑπόστασίν σου, κατοικοῦσαν ἐν ἐκλεκτοῖς.

18For thus says the Lord, Behold, I will overthrow the inhabitants of this land with affliction, that your plague may be revealed.Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ σκελίζω τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἐν θλίψει, ὅπως εὑρεθῇ ἡ πληγή σου.

19Alas for your ruin! your plague is grievous: and I said, Surely this is your wound, and it has overtaken you.Οὐαὶ ἐπὶ συντρίμματί σου, ἀλγηρὰ ἡ πληγή σου· κᾀγὼ εἶπα, ὄντως τοῦτο τὸ τραῦμά σου, καὶ κατέλαβέ σε.

20Your tabernacle is in a ruinous state, it has perished; and all your curtains have been torn asunder: my children and my cattle are no more: there is no more any place for my tabernacle, nor place for my curtains.Ἡ σκηνή σου ἐταλαιπώρησεν, ὤλετο· καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ δέῤῥεις σου διεσπάσθησαν· οἱ υἱοί μου καὶ τὰ πρόβατά μου οὐκ εἰσὶν, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι τόπος τῆς σκηνῆς μου, τόπος τῶν δέῤῥεών μου.

21For the shepherds have become foolish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore the whole pasture has failed, and the sheep have been scattered.Ὅτι οἱ ποιμένες ἠφρονεύσαντο, καὶ τὸν Κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν· διατοῦτο οὐκ ἐνόησε πᾶσα ἡ νομὴ, καὶ διεσκορπίσθησαν,

22Behold, there comes a sound of a noise, and a great earthquake from the land of the north, to make the cities of Juda a desolation, and a resting-place for ostriches.φωνὴ ἀκοῆς ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται καὶ σειαμὸς μέγας ἐκ γῆς Βοῤῥᾶ, τοῦ τάξαι τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ κοίτην στρουθῶν.

23I know, O Lord, that man's way is not his own; neither shall a man go, and direct his going.Οἶδα, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐχὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἀνὴρ πορεύσεται καὶ κατορθώσει πορείαν αὐτοῦ.

24Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgment; and not in wrath, lest you make us few.Παίδευσον ἡμᾶς Κύριε, πλὴν ἐν κρίσει καὶ μὴ ἐν θυμῷ, ἵνα μὴ ὀλίγους ἡμᾶς ποιήσῃς.

25Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the families that have not called upon your name: for they have devoured Jacob, and consumed him, and have made his pasture desolate.Ἔκχεον τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ εἰδότα σε, καὶ ἐπὶ γενεὰς αἳ τὸ ὄνομά σου οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο, ὅτι κατέφαγον τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐξανήλωσαν αὐτὸν, καὶ τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ ἠρήμωσαν.
