Jeremias 43

1IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,ἘΝ ΤΩ ἘΝΙΑΥΤΩ ΤΩ ΤΕΤΑΡΤΩ ἸΩΑΚΕΙΜ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

2Take you a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to you against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to you, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.Λάβε σεαυτῷ χαρτίον βιβλίου, καὶ γράψον ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας λαλήσαντός μου πρὸς σὲ ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

3Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and so I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.Ἴσως ἀκούσεται ὁ οἶκος Ἰούδα πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐγὼ λογίζομαι ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς, ἵνα ἀποστρέψωσιν ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν.

4So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἱερεμίας τὸν Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου· καὶ ἔγραψεν ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου πάντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἰς χαρτίον βιβλίου.

5And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I can’t enter into the house of the Lord:Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἱερεμίας τῷ Βαροὺχ, λέγων, ἐγὼ φυλάσσομαι, οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι εἰσελθεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου·

6so you shall read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, you shall read to them.Καὶ ἀναγνώσῃ ἐν τῷ χαρτίῳ τούτῳ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νηστείας, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς Ἰούδα τῶν ἐρχομένων ἐκ πόλεων αὐτῶν, ἀναγνώσῃ αὐτοῖς.

7Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.Ἴσως πεσεῖται ἔλεος αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον Κυρίου, καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς, ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ Κυρίου, ἣν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον.

8And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.Καὶ ἐποίησε Βαροὺχ κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Ἱερεμίας, τοῦ ἀναγνῶναι ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

9And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀγδόῳ τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰωακεὶμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐννάτῳ, ἐξεκκλησίασαν νηστείαν κατὰ πρόσωπον Κυρίου πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἴκος Ἰούδα.

10And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.Καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκε Βαροὺχ ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοὺς λόγους Ἱερεμίου ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν οἴκῳ Γαμαρίου υἱοῦ Σαφὰν τοῦ γραμματέως, ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐπάνω ἐν προθύροις πύλης τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς καινῆς, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ.

11And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.Καὶ ἤκουσε Μιχαίας υἱὸς Γαμαρίου υἱοῦ Σαφὰν ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, ἐκ τοῦ βιβλίου·

12And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.Καὶ κατέβη εἰς οἰκίαν τοῦ βασιλέως, εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐκάθηντο, Ἐλισαμὰ ὁ γραμματεὺς, καὶ Δαλαίας υἱὸς Σελεμίου, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Ἀκχοβὼρ, καὶ Γαμαρίας υἱὸς Σαφὰν, καὶ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Ἀνανίου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες·

13And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.Καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς Μιχαίας πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἤκουσεν ἀναγινώσκοντος Βαροὺχ εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ.

14And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in your hand the roll in which you read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου, τὸν Ἰουδὶν υἱὸν Ναθανίου, υἱοῦ Σελεμίου, υἱοῦ Χουσὶ, λέγοντες, τὸ χαρτίον ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἀναγινώσκεις ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν ὠσὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, λάβε αὐτὸ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου, καὶ ἧκε· καὶ ἔλαβε Βαροὺχ τὸ χαρτίον, καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτούς.

15And they said to him, Read it again in our ears. And Baruch read it.Καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, πάλιν ἀνάγνωθι εἰς τὰ ὦτα ἡμῶν· καὶ ἀνέγνω Βαρούχ.

16And it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, that they took counsel each with his neighbor, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἤκουσαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους, συνεβουλεύσαντο ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπον, ἀναγγέλλοντες ἀναγγείλωμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

17And they asked Baruch, saying, Where did you write all these words?Καὶ τὸν Βαροὺχ ἠρώτησαν, λέγοντες, ποῦ ἔγραψας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους;

18And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his own mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.Καὶ εἶπε Βαροὺχ, ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀνήγγειλέ μοι Ἱερεμίας πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, καὶ ἔγραφον ἐν βιβλίῳ.

19And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, you and Jeremias; let no man know where you are.Καὶ εἶπον τῷ Βαροὺχ, βάδισον, καὶ κατακρύβηθι σὺ καὶ Ἱερεμίας, ἄνθρωπος μὴ γνώτω ποῦ ὑμεῖς.

20And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll to one to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.Καὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν, καὶ τὸ χαρτίον ἔδωκαν φυλάσσειν ἐν οἴκῳ Ἐλισαμά· καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

21And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ἰουδὶν, λαβεῖν τὸ χαρτίον· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸ ἐξ οἴκου Ἐλισαμά· καὶ ἀνέγνω Ἰουδὶν εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάντων τῶν ἀρχόντων, τῶν ἑστηκότων περὶ τὸν βασιλέα.

22Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and there was a fire on the hearth before him.Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάθητο ἐν οἴκῳ χειμερινῷ, καὶ ἐσχάρα πυρὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.

23And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast them into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀναγινώσκοντος Ἰουδὶν τρεῖς σελίδας καὶ τέσσαρας, ἀπέτεμεν αὐτὰς τῷ ξυρῷ τοῦ γραμματέως, καὶ ἔῤῥιπτεν εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας, ἕως ἐξέλιπε πᾶς ὁ χάρτης εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ἐσχάρας.

24And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not the Lord, and tore not their garments.Καὶ οὐκ ἐζήτησαν, καὶ οὐ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀκούοντες πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

25But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.Καὶ Ἐλνάθαν καὶ Γοδολίας ὑπέθεντο τῷ βασιλεῖ, πρὸς τὸ κατακαῦσαι τὸ χαρτίον.

26And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.Καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἱερεμεὴλ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τῷ Σαραίᾳ υἱῷ Ἐσριὴλ, συλλαβεῖν τὸν Βαροὺχ, καὶ τὸν Ἱερεμίαν, καὶ κατεκρύβησαν.

27Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, even all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, μετὰ τὸ κατακαῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸ χαρτίον, πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἔγραψε Βαροὺχ ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου, λέγων,

28Again take you another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.πάλιν λάβε σὺ χαρτίον ἕτερον, καὶ γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους, τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τοῦ χαρτίου, οὓς κατέκαυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωακεὶμ,

29And you shall say, Thus says the Lord; You have burnt this roll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?καὶ ἐρεῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, σὺ κατέκαυσας τὸ χαρτίον τοῦτο, λέγων, διατί ἔγραψας ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, λέγων, εἰσπορευόμενος εἰσπορεύσεται βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσει τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ ἐκλείψει ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπος καὶ κτήνη;

30Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have a man to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.Διατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῷ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, καὶ τὸ θνησιμαῖον αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἐῤῥιμμένον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐν τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός·

31And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they listened not.Καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ γῆν Ἰούδα, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐλάλησα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.

32And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.Καὶ ἔλαβε Βαροὺχ χαρτίον ἕτερον, καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου, οὓς κατέκαυσεν Ἰωακείμ· καὶ ἔτι προσετέθησαν αὐτῷ λόγοι πλείονες, ὡς οὗτοι.
