Jeremias 41

1The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda,) saying,Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν παρὰ Κυρίου, (καὶ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πᾶν τὸ στρατόπεδον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἀρχῆς αὐτοῦ ἐπολέμουν ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα,) λέγων,

2Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and you shall say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, βάδισον πρὸς Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, παραδόσει παραδοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ συλλήψεται αὐτὴν, καὶ καύσει αὐτὴν ἐν πυρὶ,

3and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall certainly be taken, and shall be given into his hands; and your eyes shall see his eyes, and you shall enter into Babylon.καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ σωθῇς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλήψει συλληφθήσῃ, καὶ εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ δοθήσῃ, καὶ ὀφθαλμοί σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὄψονται, καὶ εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰσελεύσῃ.

4But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus says the Lord,Ἀλλʼ ἄκουσον τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, Σεδεκία βασιλεῦ Ἰούδα· οὕτως λέγει Κύριος,

5You shall die in peace: and as they wept for your fathers that reigned before you, they shall weep also for you, saying, Ah lord! and they shall lament for you down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀποθανῇ· καὶ ὡς ἔκλαυσαν τοὺς πατέρας σου τοὺς βασιλεύσαντας πρότερόν σου, κλαύσονται καὶ σὲ, οὐαὶ Κύριε, καὶ ἕως ᾅδου κόψονταί σε, ὅτι λόγον ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, εἶπε Κύριος.

6And Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἱερεμίας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σεδεκίαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

7And the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left among the cities of Juda.Καὶ ἡ δύναμις βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐπολέμει ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπὶ Λαχὶς, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἄζηκα, ὅτι αὗται κατελείφθησαν ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα πόλεις ὀχυραί.

8The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;Ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν παρὰ Κυρίου, μετὰ τὸ συντελέσαι τὸν βασιλέα Σεδεκίαν διαθήκην πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, τοῦ καλέσαι ἄφεσιν,

9That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.τοῦ ἐξαποστεῖλαι ἕκαστον τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστον τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ, τὸν Ἑβραῖον καὶ τὴν Ἑβραίαν ἐλευθέρους, πρὸς τὸ μὴ δουλεύειν ἄνδρα ἐξ Ἰούδα.

10Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, engaging to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,Καὶ ἐπεστράφησαν πάντες οἱ μεγιστᾶνες, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οἱ εἰσελθόντες ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ, τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαι ἕκαστον τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστον τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ,

11and gave them over to be menservants and maidservants.καὶ ἐῶσαν αὐτοὺς εἰς παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας.

12And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,Καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, λέγων,

13Thus says the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἐγὼ διεθέμην διαθήκην πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐξειλάμην αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐκ οἴκου δουλείας, λέγων,

14When six years are accomplished, you shall set free your brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to you: for he shall serve you six years, and then you shall let him go free: but they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear.ὅταν πληρωθῇ ἓξ ἔτη, ἀποστελεῖς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου τὸν Ἑβραῖον, ὃς πραθήσεταί σοι, καὶ ἐργᾶταί σοι ἓξ ἔτη, καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖς αὐτὸν ἐλεύθερον· καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσάν μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔκλιναν τὸ οὖς αὐτῶν.

15And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbor; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν σήμερον ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου, τοῦ καλέσαι ἄφεσιν ἕκαστον τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνετέλεσαν διαθήκην κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ οὗ ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.

16But you turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom you had sent forth free and at their own disposal, to be to you menservants and maidservants.Καὶ ἐπεστρέψατε, καὶ ἐβεβηλώσατε τὸ ὄνομά μου, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ἕκαστον τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστον τὴν παιδίσκην αὐτοῦ, οὓς ἐξαπεστείλατε ἐλευθέρους τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, τοῦ εἶναι ὑμῖν εἰς παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας.

17Therefore thus said the Lord; You have not listened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion among all the kingdoms of the earth.Διατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου, τοῦ καλέσαι ἄφεσιν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καλῶ ἄφεσιν ὑμῖν εἰς μάχαιραν, καὶ εἰς τὸν θάνατον, καὶ εἰς τὸν λιμὸν, καὶ δώσω ὑμᾶς εἰς διασπορὰν πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς·

18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,Καὶ δώσω τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς παρεληλυθότας τὴν διαθήκην μου, τοὺς μὴ στήσαντας τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν ἐποίησαν κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου, τὸν μόσχον ὃν ἐποίησαν ἐργάζεσθαι αὐτῷ,

19the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα, καὶ τοὺς δυνάστας, καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ τὸν λαόν·

20I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcasses shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.Καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς τοῖς ἐχθροῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσται τὰ θνησιμαῖα αὐτῶν βρῶσις τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς.

21And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon shall come upon them that run away from them.Καὶ τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν δώσω εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ δύναμις βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς ἀποτρέχουσιν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.

22Behold, I will give command, says the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συντάσσω, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἐπιστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ πολεμήσουσιν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ λήψονται αὐτὴν, καὶ κατακαύσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα, καὶ δώσω αὐτὰς ἐρήμους ἀπὸ τῶν κατοικούντων.
