Jeremias 19

1Then said the Lord to me, Go and get an earthen bottle, the work of the potter, and you shall bring some of the elders of the people, and of the priests;Τότε εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, βάδισον, καὶ κτῆσαι βικὸν πεπλασμένον ὀστράκινον, καὶ ἄξεις ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερέων,

2and you shall go forth to the burial-place of the sons of their children, which is at the entrance of the gate of Charsith; and do you read there all these words which I shall speak to you:καὶ ἐξελεύσῃ εἰς τὸ πολυάνδριον υἱῶν τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων πύλης τῆς Χαρσείθ· καὶ ἀνάγνωθι ἐκεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω πρὸς σὲ,

3and you shall say to them, Hear you the word of the Lord, you kings of Juda, and men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and they that enter in by these gates; thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, so that the ears of every one that hears it shall tingle.καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον κακὰ, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος αὐτὰ ἠχήσει τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ·

4Because they forsook me, and profaned this place, and burnt incense in it to strange gods, which they and their fathers knew not; and the kings of Juda have filled this place with innocent blood,Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ἀπηλλοτρίωσαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐν αὐτῷ θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, οἷς οὐκ ᾔδεισαν αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν· καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα ἔπλησαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον αἱμάτων ἀθώων,

5and built high places for Baal, to burn their children in the fire, which things I commanded not, neither did I design them in my heart:καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ὑψηλὰ τῇ Βάαλ, τοῦ κατακαίειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ, ἃ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην, οὐδὲ διενοήθην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.

6Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when this place shall no more be called, The fall and burial-place of the son of Ennom, but, The burial-place of slaughter.Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἔτι Διάπτωσις καὶ Πολυάνδριον υἱοῦ Ἐννὼμ, ἀλλʼ ἢ Πολυάνδριον τῆς σφαγῆς.

7And I will destroy the counsel of Juda and the counsel of Jerusalem in this place; and I will cast them down with the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the sky and to the wild beasts of the earth.Καὶ σφάξω τὴν βουλὴν Ἰούδα, καὶ τὴν βουλὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ καταβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν χερσὶ τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν· καὶ δώσω τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς·

8And I will bring this city to desolation and make it a hissing; every one that passes by it shall scowl, and hiss because of all her plague.Καὶ κατάξω τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ εἰς συρισμόν· πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπʼ αὐτῆς σκυθρωπάσει, καὶ συριεῖ ὑπὲρ πάσης τῆς πληγῆς αὐτῆς.

9And they shall eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his neighbor in the blockade, and in the siege wherewith their enemies shall besiege them.Καὶ ἔδονται τὰς σάρκας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς σάρκας τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῶν· καὶ ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἔδονται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ ἐν τῇ πολιορκίᾳ ᾗ πολιορκήσουσιν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν.

10And you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men that go forth with you,Καὶ συντρίψεις τὸν βικὸν κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ἐκπορευομένων μετὰ σοῦ,

11and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, Thus will I break in pieces this people, and this city, even as an earthen vessel is broken in pieces which can’t be mended again.καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὕτως συντρίψω τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καθὼς συντρίβεται ἄγγος ὀστράκινον, ὃ οὐ δυνήσεται ἰαθῆναι ἔτι.

12Thus will I do, says the Lord, to this place, and to the inhabitants of it, that this city may be given up, as one that is falling to ruin.Οὕτως ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος, τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ, τοῦ δοθῆναι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, ὡς τὴν διαπίπτουσαν.

13And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Juda shall be as a ruinous place, because of their uncleannesses in all the houses, wherein they burnt incense upon their roofs to all the host of heaven, and poured drink-offerings to strange gods.Καὶ οἶκοι Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἶκοι βασιλέων Ἰούδα ἔσονται καθὼς ὁ τόπος ὁ διαπίπτων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν αὐτῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς οἰκίαις, ἐν αἷς ἐθυμίασαν ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων αὐτῶν πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔσπεισαν σπονδὰς θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις.

14And Jeremias came from the place of the Fall, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house: and said to all the people, Thus says the Lord;Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱερεμίας ἀπὸ τῆς διαπτώσεως, οὗ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκεῖ, τοῦ προφητεῦσαι· καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν,

15Behold I bring upon this city, and upon all the cities belonging to it, and upon the villages of it, all the evils which I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their neck, that they might not listen to my commands.τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, ἅπαντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, ὅτι ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν, τοῦ μὴ εἰσακούειν τῶν ἐντολῶν μου.
