Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh.
λόγος κυρίου ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα
2 This is what Yahweh said to me, “Make fetters and a yoke for yourself. Place them on your neck.
ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε καὶ μὴ κρύψητε εἴπατε ἑάλωκεν Βαβυλών κατῃσχύνθη Βῆλος ἡ ἀπτόητος ἡ τρυφερὰ παρεδόθη Μαρωδαχ
3 Then send them out to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the people of Ammon, the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon. Send them by the hand of those kings' ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
ὅτι ἀνέβη ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἔθνος ἀπὸ βορρᾶ οὗτος θήσει τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀφανισμόν καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἕως κτήνους
4 Give commands to them for their masters and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: This is what you must say to your masters,
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἥξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό βαδίζοντες καὶ κλαίοντες πορεύσονται τὸν κύριον θεὸν αὐτῶν ζητοῦντες
5 “I myself made the earth by my great strength and my raised arm. I also made the people and animals on the earth, and I give it to anyone who is right in my eyes.
ἕως Σιων ἐρωτήσουσιν τὴν ὁδόν ὧδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσιν καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται
6 So now, I myself am giving all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, my servant. Also, I am giving the living things in the fields to him to serve him.
πρόβατα ἀπολωλότα ἐγενήθη ὁ λαός μου οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν ἐξῶσαν αὐτούς ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ἀπεπλάνησαν αὐτούς ἐξ ὄρους ἐπὶ βουνὸν ᾤχοντο ἐπελάθοντο κοίτης αὐτῶν
7 For all the nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his land comes. Then many nations and great kings will subdue him.
πάντες οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτοὺς κατανάλισκον αὐτούς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν εἶπαν μὴ ἀνῶμεν αὐτούς ἀνθ’ ὧν ἥμαρτον τῷ κυρίῳ νομῇ δικαιοσύνης τῷ συναγαγόντι τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν
8 So the nation and the kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon—I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with the plague—this is Yahweh's declaration—until I have destroyed it by his hand.
ἀπαλλοτριώθητε ἐκ μέσου Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐξέλθατε καὶ γένεσθε ὥσπερ δράκοντες κατὰ πρόσωπον προβάτων
9 So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your seers, your soothsayers, and sorcerers, who have been speaking to you and saying, 'Do not serve the king of Babylon.'
ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν ἐκ γῆς βορρᾶ καὶ παρατάξονται αὐτῇ ἐκεῖθεν ἁλώσεται ὡς βολὶς μαχητοῦ συνετοῦ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει κενή
10 For they are prophesying deceit to you in order to send you far away from your lands, for I will drive you away, and you will die.
καὶ ἔσται ἡ Χαλδαία εἰς προνομήν πάντες οἱ προνομεύοντες αὐτὴν ἐμπλησθήσονται
11 But the nation that places its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will allow it to rest in its land—this is Yahweh's declaration—and they will cultivate it and make their homes in it.”'”
ὅτι ηὐφραίνεσθε καὶ κατεκαυχᾶσθε διαρπάζοντες τὴν κληρονομίαν μου διότι ἐσκιρτᾶτε ὡς βοΐδια ἐν βοτάνῃ καὶ ἐκερατίζετε ὡς ταῦροι
12 So I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah and gave him this message, “Place your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people, and you will live.
ᾐσχύνθη ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν σφόδρα μήτηρ ἐπ’ ἀγαθὰ ἐσχάτη ἐθνῶν ἔρημος
13 Why will you die—you and your people—by the sword, famine, and plague, just as I have declared about the nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon?
ἀπὸ ὀργῆς κυρίου οὐ κατοικηθήσεται καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν πᾶσα καὶ πᾶς ὁ διοδεύων διὰ Βαβυλῶνος σκυθρωπάσει καὶ συριοῦσιν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν πληγὴν αὐτῆς
14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you and say, 'Do not serve the king of Babylon,' for they are prophesying lies to you.
παρατάξασθε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα κύκλῳ πάντες τείνοντες τόξον τοξεύσατε ἐπ’ αὐτήν μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ τοῖς τοξεύμασιν ὑμῶν
15 'For I have not sent them out—this is Yahweh's declaration—for they are prophesying deceit in my name so that I will drive you out and you will perish, both you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.'”
κατακροτήσατε ἐπ’ αὐτήν παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῆς ἔπεσαν αἱ ἐπάλξεις αὐτῆς καὶ κατεσκάφη τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐκδίκησις παρὰ θεοῦ ἐστιν ἐκδικεῖτε ἐπ’ αὐτήν καθὼς ἐποίησεν ποιήσατε αὐτῇ
16 I proclaimed this to the priests and all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you and say, 'Look! The objects belonging to Yahweh's house are being returned from Babylon now!' They are prophesying lies to you.
ἐξολεθρεύσατε σπέρμα ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος κατέχοντα δρέπανον ἐν καιρῷ θερισμοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας Ἑλληνικῆς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψουσιν καὶ ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ φεύξεται
17 Do not listen to them. You should serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a ruin?
πρόβατον πλανώμενον Ισραηλ λέοντες ἐξῶσαν αὐτόν ὁ πρῶτος ἔφαγεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ασσουρ καὶ οὗτος ὕστερον τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος
18 If they are prophets, and if the word of Yahweh has truly come to them, let them beg Yahweh of hosts not to send to Babylon the objects that remain in his house, the house of the king of Judah, and Jerusalem.
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἐξεδίκησα ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ασσουρ
19 Yahweh of hosts says this about the pillars, the large basin known as “The Sea” and its base, and the rest of the objects that remain in this city—
καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω τὸν Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ νεμήσεται ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ καὶ ἐν ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ ἐν τῷ Γαλααδ καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ
20 the objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ζητήσουσιν τὴν ἀδικίαν Ισραηλ καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας Ιουδα καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῶσιν ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι τοῖς ὑπολελειμμένοις ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς λέγει κύριος
21 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this about the objects that remain in the house of Yahweh, the house of the king of Judah, and Jerusalem,
πικρῶς ἐπίβηθι ἐπ’ αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπ’ αὐτήν ἐκδίκησον μάχαιρα καὶ ἀφάνισον λέγει κύριος καὶ ποίει κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐντέλλομαί σοι
22 'They will be brought to Babylon, and they will remain there until the day I have set to come for them—this is Yahweh's declaration—then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.'”
φωνὴ πολέμου καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων
πῶς συνεκλάσθη καὶ συνετρίβη ἡ σφῦρα πάσης τῆς γῆς πῶς ἐγενήθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν Βαβυλὼν ἐν ἔθνεσιν
ἐπιθήσονταί σοι καὶ ἁλώσῃ ὦ Βαβυλών καὶ οὐ γνώσῃ εὑρέθης καὶ ἐλήμφθης ὅτι τῷ κυρίῳ ἀντέστης
ἤνοιξεν κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν τὰ σκεύη ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἔργον τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων
ὅτι ἐληλύθασιν οἱ καιροὶ αὐτῆς ἀνοίξατε τὰς ἀποθήκας αὐτῆς ἐρευνήσατε αὐτὴν ὡς σπήλαιον καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσατε αὐτήν μὴ γενέσθω αὐτῆς κατάλειμμα
ἀναξηράνατε αὐτῆς πάντας τοὺς καρπούς καὶ καταβήτωσαν εἰς σφαγήν οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτῶν καὶ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεως αὐτῶν
καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς τὸν λόγον τοῦτον τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἤκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου οὐδὲ ἐδέξατο παιδείαν ἐξέλιπεν ἡ πίστις ἐκ στόματος αὐτῶν φωνὴ φευγόντων καὶ ἀνασῳζομένων ἐκ γῆς Βαβυλῶνος τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι εἰς Σιων τὴν ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν
παραγγείλατε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα πολλοῖς παντὶ ἐντείνοντι τόξον παρεμβάλετε ἐπ’ αὐτὴν κυκλόθεν μὴ ἔστω αὐτῆς ἀνασῳζόμενος ἀνταπόδοτε αὐτῇ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν ποιήσατε αὐτῇ ὅτι πρὸς τὸν κύριον ἀντέστη θεὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ
διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ αὐτῆς ῥιφήσονται εἶπεν κύριος
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν ὑβρίστριαν λέγει κύριος ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα σου καὶ ὁ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεώς σου
καὶ ἀσθενήσει ἡ ὕβρις σου καὶ πεσεῖται καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀνιστῶν αὐτήν καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ αὐτῆς καὶ καταφάγεται πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς
τάδε λέγει κύριος καταδεδυνάστευνται οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα ἅμα πάντες οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύσαντες αὐτοὺς κατεδυνάστευσαν αὐτούς ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐξαποστεῖλαι αὐτούς
καὶ ὁ λυτρούμενος αὐτοὺς ἰσχυρός κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ κρίσιν κρινεῖ πρὸς τοὺς ἀντιδίκους αὐτοῦ ὅπως ἐξάρῃ τὴν γῆν καὶ παροξυνεῖ τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Βαβυλῶνα
μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς συνετοὺς αὐτῆς
μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς μαχητὰς αὐτῆς καὶ παραλυθήσονται
μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτῶν μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς μαχητὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν σύμμικτον τὸν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔσονται ὡσεὶ γυναῖκες μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς αὐτῆς καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται
ἐπὶ τῷ ὕδατι αὐτῆς ἐπεποίθει καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ὅτι γῆ τῶν γλυπτῶν ἐστιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς νήσοις οὗ κατεκαυχῶντο
διὰ τοῦτο κατοικήσουσιν ἰνδάλματα ἐν ταῖς νήσοις καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ θυγατέρες σειρήνων οὐ μὴ κατοικηθῇ οὐκέτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
καθὼς κατέστρεψεν ὁ θεὸς Σοδομα καὶ Γομορρα καὶ τὰς ὁμορούσας αὐταῖς εἶπεν κύριος οὐ μὴ κατοικήσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος καὶ οὐ μὴ παροικήσῃ ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου
ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἔρχεται ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἔθνος μέγα καὶ βασιλεῖς πολλοὶ ἐξεγερθήσονται ἀπ’ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς
τόξον καὶ ἐγχειρίδιον ἔχοντες ἰταμός ἐστιν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃ φωνὴ αὐτῶν ὡς θάλασσα ἠχήσει ἐφ’ ἵπποις ἱππάσονται παρεσκευασμένοι ὥσπερ πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς σέ θύγατερ Βαβυλῶνος
ἤκουσεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν καὶ παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ θλῖψις κατεκράτησεν αὐτοῦ ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης
ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ λέων ἀναβήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ Ιορδάνου εἰς τόπον Αιθαμ ὅτι ταχέως ἐκδιώξω αὐτοὺς ἀπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα νεανίσκον ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἐπιστήσω ὅτι τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ τίς οὗτος ποιμήν ὃς στήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου
διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε τὴν βουλὴν κυρίου ἣν βεβούλευται ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα καὶ λογισμοὺς αὐτοῦ οὓς ἐλογίσατο ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Χαλδαίους ἐὰν μὴ διαφθαρῇ τὰ ἀρνία τῶν προβάτων αὐτῶν ἐὰν μὴ ἀφανισθῇ νομὴ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν
ὅτι ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἁλώσεως Βαβυλῶνος σεισθήσεται ἡ γῆ καὶ κραυγὴ ἐν ἔθνεσιν ἀκουσθήσεται
