Jeremias 49

1Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,Καὶ προσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ Ἰωάναν, καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Μαασαίου, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου,

2to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before your face, and pray you to the Lord your God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as your eyes see.πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, πεσέτω δὴ τὸ ἔλεος ἡμῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ πρόσευξαι πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου περὶ τῶν καταλοίπων τούτων· ὅτι κατελείφθημεν ὀλίγοι ἀπὸ πολλῶν, καθὼς οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου βλέπουσι.

3And let the Lord your God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.Καὶ ἀναγγειλάτω ἡμῖν Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου τὴν ὁδὸν ᾗ πορευσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ λόγον ὃν ποιήσομεν.

4And Jeremias said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare it to you; I will not hide anything from you.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἱερεμίας, ἤκουσα, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ προσεύξομαι ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ὑμῶν· καὶ ἔσται, ὁ λόγος ὃν ἂν ἀποκριθήσεται Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, ἁναγγελῶ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ κρύψω ἀφʼ ὑμῶν ῥῆμα.

5And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.Καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ, ἔστω Κύριος ἐν ἡμῖν εἰς μάρτυρα δίκαιον καὶ πιστὸν, εἰ μὴ κατὰ πάντα τὸν λόγον, ὃν ἐὰν ἀποστείλῃ Κύριος πρὸς ἡμᾶς, οὕτως ποιήσωμεν.

6And whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, because we shall listen to the voice of the Lord our God.Καὶ ἐὰν ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἐὰν κακὸν, τὴν φωνὴν Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, οὗ ἡμεῖς ἀποστέλλομέν σε πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἀκουσόμεθα, ἵνα βέλτιον ἡμῖν γένηται, ὅτι ἀκουσόμεθα τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

7And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.Καὶ ἐγενήθη μεθʼ ἡμέρας δέκα, ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν.

8And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,Καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν Ἰωάναν, καὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου,

9and he said to them, Thus says the Lord;καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος,

10If you will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull you down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.ἐὰν καθίσαντες καθίσητε ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ, οἰκοδομήσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ μὴ καθελῶ, καὶ φυτεύσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκτιλῶ, ὅτι ἀναπέπαυμαι ἐπὶ τοῖς κακοῖς οἷς ἐποίησα ὑμῖν.

11Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.Μὴ φοβηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, οὗ ὑμεῖς φοβεῖσθε· ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβηθῆτε, φησὶ Κύριος, ὅτι μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ, ἐξαιρεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ σώζειν ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.

12And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.Καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἔλεος, καὶ ἐλεήσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐπιστρέψω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν.

13But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not listen to the voice of the Lord;Καὶ εἰ λέγετε ὑμεῖς, οὐ μὴ καθίσωμεν ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ, πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀκοῦσαι φωνῆς Κυρίου,

14for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:ὅτι εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου εἰσελευσόμεθα, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδωμεν πόλεμον, καὶ φωνὴν σάλπιγγος οὐ μὴ ἀκούσωμεν, καὶ ἐν ἄρτοις οὐ μὴ πεινάσωμεν, καὶ ἐκεῖ οἰκήσομεν·

15then hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord;διατοῦτο ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἐὰν ὑμεῖς δῶτε τὸ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ εἰσέλθητε ἐκεῖ κατοικεῖν,

16If you set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, that the sword which you fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which you have regard, shall overtake you, coming after you in Egypt; and there you shall die.καὶ ἔσται, ἡ ῥομφαία ἣν ὑμεῖς φοβεῖσθε ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς εὑρήσει ὑμᾶς ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς οὗ ὑμεῖς λόγον ἔχετε ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καταλήψεται ὑμᾶς ὀπίσω ὑμῶν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖσθε.

17And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.Καὶ ἔσονται πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀλλογενεῖς, οἱ θέντες τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου ἐνοικεῖν ἐκεῖ, ἐκλείψουσιν ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ, καὶ ἐν τῷ λιμῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς σωζόμενος ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπʼ αὐτούς.

18For thus says the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when you have entered into Egypt: and you shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and you shall no more see this place.Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, καθὼς ἔσταξεν ὁ θυμός μου ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ, οὕτως στάξει ὁ θυμός μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, εἰσελθόντων ὑμῶν εἰς Αἴγυπτον· καὶ ἔσεσθε εἰς ἄβατον, καὶ ὑποχείριοι, καὶ εἰς ἀρὰν, καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε οὐκέτι τὸν τόπον τοῦτον.

19These are the words which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter you not into Egypt: and now know you for a certainty,Ἃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τοὺς καταλοίπους Ἰούδα· μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς Αἴγυπτον· καὶ νῦν γνόντες γνώσεσθε,

20that you have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when you sent me, saying, Pray you for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to you we will do.ὅτι ἐπονηρεύσασθε ἐν ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν, ἀποστείλαντές με, λέγοντες, πρόσευξαι περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐὰν λαλήσει σοι Κύριος ποιήσομεν.

21And you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.Καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, ἧς ἀπέστειλέ με πρὸς ὑμᾶς.

22Now therefore you shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which you desire to go into to dwell there.Καὶ νῦν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἐκλείψετε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ὑμεῖς βούλεσθε εἰσελθεῖν κατοικεῖν ἐκεῖ.
