Ἱερεμίας 42
1 ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ιερεμιαν παρὰ κυρίου ἐν ἡμέραις Ιωακιμ βασιλέως Ιουδα λέγων
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
2 βάδισον εἰς οἶκον Αρχαβιν καὶ ἄξεις αὐτοὺς εἰς οἶκον κυρίου εἰς μίαν τῶν αὐλῶν καὶ ποτιεῖς αὐτοὺς οἶνον
and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:
3 καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν Ιεζονιαν υἱὸν Ιερεμιν υἱοῦ Χαβασιν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκίαν Αρχαβιν
that the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
4 καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς οἶκον κυρίου εἰς τὸ παστοφόριον υἱῶν Ανανιου υἱοῦ Γοδολιου ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς τοῦ οἴκου τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν ἐπάνω τοῦ οἴκου Μαασαιου υἱοῦ Σελωμ τοῦ φυλάσσοντος τὴν αὐλήν
Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5 καὶ ἔδωκα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν κεράμιον οἴνου καὶ ποτήρια καὶ εἶπα πίετε οἶνον
Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we do not even according to all the word wherewith the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
6 καὶ εἶπαν οὐ μὴ πίωμεν οἶνον ὅτι Ιωναδαβ υἱὸς Ρηχαβ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν λέγων οὐ μὴ πίητε οἶνον ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἕως αἰῶνος
Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.
7 καὶ οἰκίαν οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομήσητε καὶ σπέρμα οὐ μὴ σπείρητε καὶ ἀμπελὼν οὐκ ἔσται ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐν σκηναῖς οἰκήσετε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὑμῶν ὅπως ἂν ζήσητε ἡμέρας πολλὰς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐφ’ ἧς διατρίβετε ὑμεῖς ἐπ’ αὐτῆς
And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
8 καὶ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς Ιωναδαβ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν πρὸς τὸ μὴ πιεῖν οἶνον πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ἡμῶν
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 καὶ πρὸς τὸ μὴ οἰκοδομεῖν οἰκίας τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀμπελὼν καὶ ἀγρὸς καὶ σπέρμα οὐκ ἐγένετο ἡμῖν
and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:
10 καὶ ᾠκήσαμεν ἐν σκηναῖς καὶ ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἐποιήσαμεν κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν Ιωναδαβ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονοσορ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἴπαμεν εἰσέλθατε καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ᾠκοῦμεν ἐκεῖ
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
And I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 οὕτως λέγει κύριος πορεύου καὶ εἰπὸν ἀνθρώπῳ Ιουδα καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ιερουσαλημ οὐ μὴ λάβητε παιδείαν τοῦ ἀκούειν τοὺς λόγους μου
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land; so that ye obey not the voice of the LORD your God;
14 ἔστησαν ῥῆμα υἱοὶ Ιωναδαβ υἱοῦ Ρηχαβ ὃ ἐνετείλατο τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸ μὴ πιεῖν οἶνον καὶ οὐκ ἐπίοσαν καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὄρθρου καὶ ἐλάλησα καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε
saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
15 καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς παῖδάς μου τοὺς προφήτας λέγων ἀποστράφητε ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ βελτίω ποιήσατε τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ πορεύσεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς καὶ οἰκήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐκλίνατε τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε
now therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah: thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 καὶ ἔστησαν υἱοὶ Ιωναδαβ υἱοῦ Ρηχαβ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ὁ δὲ λαὸς οὗτος οὐκ ἤκουσάν μου
then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feel shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ πάντα τὰ κακά ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπ’ αὐτούς
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἐπειδὴ ἤκουσαν υἱοὶ Ιωναδαβ υἱοῦ Ρηχαβ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ποιεῖν καθότι ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
19 οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἀνὴρ τῶν υἱῶν Ιωναδαβ υἱοῦ Ρηχαβ παρεστηκὼς κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς γῆς
The LORD hath spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have testified unto you this day.
For ye have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it:
and I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
