Jeremias 13

1Thus says the Lord, Go and procure for yourself a linen girdle, and put it about your loins, and let it not be put in water.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, βάδισον καὶ κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ περίζωμα λινοῦν, καὶ περίθου περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι οὐ διελεύσεται.

2So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.Καὶ ἐκτησάμην τὸ περίζωμα κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, καὶ περιέθηκα περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν μου.

3And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

4Take the girdle that is upon your loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.λάβε τὸ περίζωμα τὸ περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἀνάστηθι, καὶ βάδισον ἐπὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ κατάκρυψον αὐτὸ ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ τρυμαλιᾷ τῆς πέτρας.

5So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.Καὶ ἐπορεύθην, καὶ ἔκρυψα αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ Εὐφράτῃ, καθὼς ἐνετείλατό μοι Κύριος.

6And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded you to hide there.Καὶ ἐγένετο μεθʼ ἡμέρας πολλὰς, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἀνάστηθι, βάδισον ἐπὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ λάβε ἐκεῖθεν τὸ περίζωμα, ὃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι τοῦ κατακρύψαι ἐκεῖ.

7So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I had buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.Καὶ ἐπορεύθην ἐπὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην ποταμὸν, καὶ ὤρυξα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ περίζωμα ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ κατώρυξα αὐτὸ ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἰδοὺ διεφθαρμένον ἦν, ὃ οὐ μὴ χρησθῇ εἰς οὐθέν.

8And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus says the Lord,Καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

9Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὕτω φθερῶ τὴν ὕβριν Ἰούδα καὶ τὴν ὕβριν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

10even this great pride of the men that will not listen to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.τὴν πολλὴν ταύτην ὕβριν, τοὺς μὴ βουλομένους ὑπακούειν τῶν λόγων μου, καὶ πορευθέντας ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοῦ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔσονται ὥσπερ τὸ περίζωμα τοῦτο, ὃ οὐ χρησθήσεται εἰς οὐθέν.

11For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not listen to me.Ὅτι καθάπερ κολλᾶται τὸ περίζωμα περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, οὕτως ἐκόλλησα πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ πάντα οἶκον Ἰούδα, τοῦ γενέσθαι μοι εἰς λαὸν ὀνομαστὸν, καὶ εἰς καύχημα, καὶ εἰς δόξαν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου.

12And you shall say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that you shall say to them,Καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, πᾶς ἀσκὸς πληρωθήσεται οἴνου· καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἴπωσι πρὸς σὲ, μὴ γνόντες οὐ γνωσόμεθα, ὅτι πᾶς ἀσκὸς πληρωθήσεται οἴνου;

13Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.Καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πληρῶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν τοὺς καθημένους υἱοὺς τοῦ Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς προφήτας, καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, μεθύσματι·

14And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, says the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity to save them from destruction.Καὶ διασκορπιῶ αὐτοὺς ἄνδρα καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἐπιποθήσω, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐ φείσομαι, καὶ οὐκ οἰκτειρήσω ἀπὸ διαφθορᾶς αὐτῶν.

15Hear you, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.Ἀκούσατε, καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε, καὶ μὴ ἐπαίρεσθε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησε.

16Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.Δότε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν δόξαν πρὸ τοῦ συσκοτάσαι, καὶ πρὸ τοῦ προσκόψαι πόδας ὑμῶν ἐπʼ ὄρη σκοτεινά· καὶ ἀναμενεῖτε εἰς φῶς, καὶ ἐκεῖ σκιὰ θανάτου καὶ τεθήσονται εἰς σκότος.

17But if you will not listen, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.Ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσητε, κεκρυμμένως κλαύσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὕβρεως, καὶ κατάξουσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν δάκρυα, ὅτι συνετρίβη τὸ ποίμνιον Κυρίου.

18Say you to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.Εἴπατε τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ τοῖς δυναστεύουσι, ταπεινώθητε καὶ καθίσατε, ὅτι καθῃρέθη ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν στέφανος δόξης ὑμῶν.

19The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open them: Juda is removed into captivity, they have suffered a complete removal.Πόλεις αἱ πρὸς Νότον, συνεκλείσθησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀνοίγων· ἀποικίσθη Ἰούδας, συνετέλεσαν ἀποικίαν τελείαν.

20Lift up your eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given you, the sheep of your glory?Ἀνάλαβε ὀφθαλμούς σου Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἴδε τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ· ποῦ ἐστι τὸ ποίμνιον ὃ ἐδόθη σοι, πρόβατα δόξης σου;

21What will you say when they shall visit you, for you did teach them lessons for rule against yourself; shall not pangs seize you as a woman in travail?Τί ἐρεῖς ὅταν ἐπισκέπτωνταί σε; καὶ σὺ ἐδίδαξας αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σὲ μαθήματα εἰς ἀρχήν· οὐκ ὠδῖνες καθέξουσί σε καθὼς γυναῖκα τίκτουσαν;

22And if you should say in your heart, Therefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of your iniquity have your skirts been revealed, that your heels might be exposed.Καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, διατί ἀπήντησέ μοι ταῦτα; διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ἀδικίας σου ἀνεκαλύφθη τὰ ὀπίσθιά σου, παραδειγματισθῆναι τὰς πτέρνας σου.

23If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall you be able to do good, having learned evil.Εἰ ἀλλάξεται Αἰθίοψ τὸ δέρμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάρδαλις τὰ ποικίλματα αὐτῆς, καὶ ὑμεῖς δυνήσεσθε εὐποιῆσαι μεμαθηκότες τὰ κακά.

24So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.Καὶ διέσπειρα αὐτοὺς, ὡς φρύγανα φερόμενα ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εἰς ἔρημον.

25Thus is your lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, says the Lord; as you did forget me, and trust in lies,Οὕτως ὁ κλῆρός σου, καὶ μερὶς τοῦ ἀπειθεῖν ὑμᾶς ἐμοὶ, λέγει Κύριος· ὡς ἐπελάθου μου, καὶ ἤλπισας ἐπὶ ψεύδεσι,

26I also will expose your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall be seen;κᾀγὼ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ ἀτιμία σου,

27your adultery also, and your neighing, and the looseness of your fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, for you have not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet shall it be?καὶ ἡ μοιχεία σου, καὶ χρεμετισμός σου, καὶ ἡ ἀπαλλοτρίωσις τῆς πορνείας σου· ἐπὶ τῶν βουνῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς ἑώρακα τὰ βδελύγματά σου· οὐαί σοι Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκαθαρίσθης ὀπίσω μου· ἕως τίνος ἔτι;
