Jeremias 40

1And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν δεύτερον, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἔτι δεδεμένος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, λέγων,

2Thus says the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ποιῶν γῆν, καὶ πλάσσων αὐτὴν, τοῦ ἀνορθῶσαι αὐτὴν, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ·

3Cry to me, and I will answer you, and I will declare to you great and mighty things, which you know not.Κέκραξον πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαί σοι, καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρὰ, ἃ οὐκ ἔγνως αὐτά.

4For thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος περὶ οἴκων τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, καὶ περὶ οἴκων βασιλεως Ἰούδα τῶν καθῃρημένων εἰς χάρακας καὶ προμαχῶνας,

5to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I struck in my anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:τοῦ μάχεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους, καὶ πληρῶσαι αὐτὴν τῶν νεκρῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὓς ἐπάταξα ἐν ὀργῇ μου, καὶ ἐν θυμῷ μου· καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, περὶ πασῶν τῶν πονηριῶν αὐτῶν.

6Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show myself to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀνάγω αὐτῇ συνούλωσιν καὶ ἴαμα, καὶ φανερώσω αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἰατρεύσω αὐτὴν, καὶ ποιήσω καὶ εἰρήνην καὶ πίστιν.

7And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀποικίαν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καθὼς καὶ τοπρότερον.

8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.Καὶ καθαριῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν, ὧν ἡμάρτοσάν μοι, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν, ὧν ἥμαρτόν μοι, καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.

9And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.Καὶ ἔσται εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ αἴνεσιν, καὶ εἰς μεγαλειότητα παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, οἵτινες ἀκούσονται πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω, καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ πικρανθήσονται περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν, καὶ περὶ πάσης τῆς εἰρήνης ἧς ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς.

10Thus says the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which you say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, the places that have been made desolate for lack of men and cattle,Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἔτι ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ ὑμεῖς λέγετε, ἔρημός ἐστιν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτηνῶν, ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις, παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη·

11the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endures fore ever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.Φωνὴ εὐφροσύνης, καὶ φωνὴ χαρμοσύνης, φωνὴ νυμφίου, καὶ φωνὴ νύμφης, φωνὴ λεγόντων, ἐξομολογεῖσθε Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι, ὅτι χρηστὸς Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσοίσουσι δῶρα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, ὅτι ἀποστρέψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης κατὰ τοπρότερον, εἶπε Κύριος.

12Thus says the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for lack of man and beast, in all the cities thereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων, ἔτι ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ τῷ ἐρήμῳ, παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος, ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταλύματα ποιμένων κοιταζόντων πρόβατα,

13In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the cities round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers them, says the Lord.ἐν πόλεσι τῆς ὀρεινῆς, καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς σεφηλὰ, καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς ναγὲβ, καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς κύκλῳ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα· ἔτι παρελεύσεται πρόβατα ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀριθμοῦντος, εἶπε Κύριος.
