Jeremias 46
1And it came to pass in the ninth month of Sedekias king of Juda, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.Καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐννάτῳ τοῦ Σεδεκία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, παρεγένετο Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
2And in the eleventh year of Sedekiass, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ, ἐννάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐῤῥάγη ἡ πόλις,
3And all the leaders of the king of Babylon went in, and sat in the middle gate, Marganasar, and Samagoth, and Nabusachar, and Nabusaris, Nagargas, Naserrabamath, and the rest of the leaders of the king of Babylon,καὶ εἰσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγούμενοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ Μαργανασὰρ, καὶ Σαμαγὼθ, καὶ Ναβουσάχαρ, καὶ Ναβουσαρεὶς, Ναγαργᾶς, Νασεῤῥαβαμὰθ, καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἡγεμόνες βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.
14and they sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and gave him in charge to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan: and they brought him out, and he sat in the midst of the people.Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐξ αὐλῆς τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Γοδολίαν υἱὸν Ἀχεικὰμ, υἱοῦ Σαφὰν, καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.
15And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in the court of the prison, saying,Καὶ πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, λέγων,
16Go and say to Abdemelech the Ethiopian, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good.πορεύου καὶ εἰπὲ πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά.
17But I will save you in that day, and I will by no means deliver you into the hands of the men before whom you are afraid.Καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,
18For I will surely save you, and you shall by no means fall by the sword; and you shall find your life, because you did trust in me, says the Lord.ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου εἰς εὕρημα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, φησὶ Κύριος.
