Jeremias 44

1And Sedekias the son of Josias reigned instead of Joakim, whom Nabuchodonosor appointed to reign over Juda.Καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Ἰωσεία ἀντὶ Ἰωακείμ, ὃν ἐβασίλευσε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεύειν τοῦ Ἰούδα.

2And he and his servants and the people of the land listened not to the words of the Lord, which he spoke by Jeremias.Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τοῦς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἱερεμίου.

3And king Sedekias sent Joachal son of Selemias and Sophonias the priest son of Maasaeas to Jeremias, saying, Pray now for us to the Lord.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σεδεκίας τὸν Ἰωάχαλ υἱὸν Σελεμίου, καὶ τὸν Σοφονίαν υἱὸν Μαασαίου τὸν ἱερέα πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν λέγων, πρόσευξαι δὴ περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον.

4Now Jeremias came and went through the midst of the city: for they had not put him into the house of the prison.Καὶ Ἱερεμίας ἦλθε καὶ διῆλθε διὰ μέσου τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τῆς φυλακῆς.

5And the host of Pharao was come forth out of Egypt; and the Chaldeans heard the report of them, and they went up from Jerusalem.Καὶ δύναμις Φαραὼ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ.

6And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, λέγων,

7Thus said the Lord; Thus shall you say to the king of Juda who sent to you, to seek me; Behold, the army of Pharao which is come forth to help you: they shall return to the land of Egypt:οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, οὕτως ἐρεῖς πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα πρὸς σὲ, τοῦ ἐκζητῆσαί με, ἰδοὺ δύναμις· Φαραὼ ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ὑμῖν εἰς βοήθειαν· ἀποστρέψουσιν εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου,

8and the Chaldeans themselves shall turn again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.καὶ ἀναστρέψουσιν αὐτοὶ οἱ Χαλδαῖοι, καὶ πολεμήσουσιν ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ συλλήψονται αὐτὴν, καὶ καύσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί.

9For thus says the Lord; Suppose not in your hearts, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly depart from us: for they shall not depart.Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, μὴ ὑπολάβητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν, λέγοντες, ἀποτρέχοντες ἀπελεύσονται ἀφʼ ἡμῶν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι· ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἀπέλθωσι.

10And though you should strike the whole host of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left a few wounded men, these should rise up each in his place, and burn this city with fire.Καὶ ἐὰν πατάξητε πᾶσαν δύναμιν τῶν Χαλδαίων τοὺς πολεμοῦντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ καταλειφθῶσί τινες ἐκκεκεντημένοι, ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ οὗτοι ἀναστήσονται, καὶ καύσουσι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἐν πυρί.

11And it came to pass, when the host of the Chaldeans had gone up from Jerusalem for fear of the host of Pharao,Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἀνέβη ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως Φαραὼ,

12that Jeremias went forth from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to buy thence a property in the midst of the people.ἐξῆλθεν Ἱερεμίας ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Βενιαμεὶν, τοῦ ἀγοράσαι ἐκεῖθεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ·

13And he was in the gate of Benjamin, and there was there a man with whom he lodged, Saruia the son of Selemias, the son of Ananias; and he caught Jeremias, saying, You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτὸς ἐν πύλῃ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος παρʼ ᾧ κατέλυε, Σαρουΐα υἱὸς Σελεμίου, υἱοῦ Ἀνανίου, καὶ συνέλαβε τὸν Ἱερεμίαν, λέγων, πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους σὺ φεύγεις.

14And he said, It is false; I do not flee to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Saruia caught Jeremias, and brought him to the princes.Καὶ εἶπε, ψεῦδος, οὐκ εἰς τοὺς Χαλδαίους ἐγὼ φεύγω· καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνέλαβε Σαρουΐα τὸν Ἱερεμίαν, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας.

15And the princes were very angry with Jeremias, and struck him, and sent him into the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made this a prison.Καὶ ἐπικράνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐπὶ Ἱερεμίαν, καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ γραμματέως, ὅτι ταύτην ἐποίησαν εἰς οἰκίαν φυλακῆς.

16So Jeremias came into the dungeon, and into the cells, and he remained there many days.Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱερεμίας εἰς οἰκίαν τοῦ λάκκου, καὶ εἰς τὴν χερὲθ, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας πολλάς.

17Then Sedekias sent, and called him; and the king asked him secretly, saying, Is there a word from the Lord? and he said, There is: you shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σεδεκίας, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς κρυφαίως εἰπεῖν, εἰ ἔστιν ὁ λόγος παρὰ Κυρίου; καὶ εἶπεν, ἔστιν· εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος παραδοθήσῃ.

18And Jeremias said to the king, Wherein have I wronged you, or your servants, or this people, that you put me in prison?Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας τῷ βασιλεῖ, τί ἠδίκησά σε, καὶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου, καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, ὅτι σὺ δίδως με εἰς οἰκίαν φυλακῆς;

19And where are your prophets who prophesied to you saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against this land?Καὶ ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ προφῆται ὑμῶν οἱ προφητεύσαντες ὑμῖν, λέγοντες, ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην;

20Now therefore, my lord the king, let my supplication come before your face: and why do you send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe? and let me not on any account die there.Καὶ νῦν, Κύριε βασιλεῦ, πεσέτω τὸ ἔλεός μου κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου· καὶ τί ἀποστρέφεις με εἰς οἰκίαν Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ γραμματέως; καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνω ἐκεῖ.

21Then the king commanded, and they cast him into the prison, and gave him a loaf a day out of the place where they bake, until the bread failed out of the city. So Jeremias continued in the court of the prison.Καὶ συνέταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἐνεβάλοσαν αὐτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ ἐδίδοσαν αὐτῷ ἄρτον ἕνα τῆς ἡμέρας, ἔξωθεν οὗ πέσσουσιν, ἕως ἐξέλιπον οἱ ἄρτοι ἐκ τῆς πόλεως· καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἱερεμίας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς.
