Jeremias 34

1Thus said the Lord; Make to yourself bonds and yokes, and put them about your neck,

2Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ποίησον σεαυτῷ δεσμοὺς καὶ κλοιοὺς, καὶ περίθου περὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου.

3and you shall send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.Καὶ ἀποστελεῖς αὐτοὺς πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Μωὰβ, καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Τύρου, καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Σιδῶνος, ἐν χερσὶν ἀγγέλων αὐτῶν τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ πρὸς Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα.

4And you shall commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your lords;Καὶ συντάξεις αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς κυρίους αὐτῶν εἰπεῖν, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς τοὺς κυρίους ὑμῶν,

5I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whoever it shall seem good in my eyes.ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐποίησα τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ μου τῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐπιχείρῳ μου τῷ ὑψηλῷ, καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν ᾧ ἐὰν δόξῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου·

6I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labor for him.Ἔδωκα τὴν γῆν τῷ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος δουλεύειν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐργάζεσθαι αὐτῷ.

8And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, says the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.Καὶ τὸ ἔθνος καὶ ἡ βασιλεία, ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ ἐμβάλωσι τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἐπισκέψομαι αὐτοὺς, εἶπε Κύριος, ἕως ἐκλίπωσιν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

9And listen you not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, You shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:Καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ ἀκούετε τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ τῶν μαντευομένων ὑμῖν, καὶ τῶν ἐνυπνιαζομένων ὑμῖν, καὶ τῶν οἰωνισμάτων ὑμῶν, καὶ τῶν φαρμακῶν ὑμῶν, τῶν λεγόντων, οὐ μὴ ἐργάσησθε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος·

10for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.Ὅτι ψευδῆ αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν, πρὸς τὸ μακρῦναι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν.

11But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.Καὶ τὸ ἔθνος ὃ ἐὰν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐργάσηται αὐτῷ, καὶ καταλείψω αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐργᾶται αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐνοικήσει ἐν αὐτῇ.

12I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into the yoke, and serve the king of Babylon.Καὶ πρὸς Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα ἐλάλησα κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, λέγων, εἰσαγάγετε τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν,

14For they prophesy unrighteous words to you,καὶ ἐργάσασθε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος, ὅτι ἄδικα αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν,

15for I sent them not, says the Lord; and they prophesy in my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and you should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.ὅτι οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτοὺς, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ προφητεύουσι τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐπ ἀδίκῳ, πρὸς τὸ ἀπολέσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ὑμεῖς, καὶ οἱ προφῆται ὑμῶν, οἱ προφητεύοντες ὑμῖν ἐπʼ ἀδίκῳ ψευδῆ.

16I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous words.Ὑμῖν, καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἐλάλησα, λέγων, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, μὴ ἀκούετε τῶν λόγων τῶν προφητῶν, τῶν προφητευόντων ὑμῖν, λεγόντων, ἰδοὺ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου ἐπιστρέψει ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος· ὅτι ἄδικα αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν. Οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς.

17I sent them not.

18If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.Εἰ προφῆταί εἰσι, καὶ εἰ ἔστι λόγος Κυρίου ἐν αὐτοῖς, ἀπαντησάτωσάν μοι, ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος.

19And as for the remaining vessels,Καὶ τῶν ἐπιλοίπων σκευῶν,

20which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,ὧν οὐκ ἔλαβε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, ὅτε ἀπῴκισε τὸν Ἰεχονίαν ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

22they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰσελεύσεται, λέγει Κύριος.
