ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 15

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Και αν ο Μωυσης και ο Σαμουηλ ισταντο ενωπιον μου, η ψυχη μου δεν ηθελεν εισθαι υπερ του λαου τουτου? αποδιωξον αυτους απ' εμπροσθεν μου και ας εξελθωσι.	1 And the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my soul would not be toward this people. Cast them away from my face, and let them depart!
2 Και εαν ειπωσι προς σε, Που θελομεν εξελθει; τοτε θελεις ειπει προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Οσοι ειναι δια τον θανατον, εις θανατον? και οσοι δια την μαχαιραν, εις μαχαιραν? και οσοι δια την πειναν, εις πειναν? και οσοι δια την αιχμαλωσιαν, εις αιχμαλωσιαν.	2 And if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: Those who go to death, shall go to death. And those who go to the sword, shall go to the sword, and those go to famine, shall go to famine, and those who go to captivity, shall go to captivity.
3 Και θελω επιφερει επ' αυτους τεσσαρα ειδη, λεγει Κυριος? την μαχαιραν δια σφαγην, και τους κυνας δια σπαραγμον, και τα πετεινα του ουρανου, και τα θηρια της γης, δια να καταφαγωσι και να αφανισωσι.	3 And I will visit against them in four ways, says the Lord: by the sword, to kill; and by dogs, to tear apart; and by the birds of the air and by the beasts of the earth, to devour and to scatter.
4 Και θελω παραδωσει αυτους εις διασποραν εν πασι τοις βασιλειοις της γης? εξ αιτιας του Μανασση, υιου Εζεκιου βασιλεως του Ιουδα, δι' οσα επραξεν εν Ιερουσαλημ.	4 And I will give them over to the fervor of all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, because of all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 Διοτι τις θελει σε οικτειρει, Ιερουσαλημ; η τις θελει σε συλλυπηθη; η τις θελει στραφη δια να ερωτηση, Πως εχεις;	5 For who will take pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will feel sorrow for you? Or who will go to prayer for the sake of your peace?
6 Συ με εγκατελιπες, λεγει Κυριος, υπηγες εις τα οπισω? δια τουτο θελω εκτεινει την χειρα μου επι σε και θελω σε αφανισει? απεκαμον ελεων.	6 You have abandoned me, says the Lord. You have gone backwards. And so, I will extend my hand over you, and I will destroy you. I have labored to plead with you.
7 Και θελω εκλικμησει αυτους με το λικμητηριον εν ταις πυλαις της γης? θελω ατεκνωσει αυτους, θελω αφανισει τον λαον μου, διοτι δεν επιστρεφουσιν απο των οδων αυτων.	7 And I will scatter them with a winnowing fan at the gates of the land. I have killed and dispersed my people, and yet they have not turned back from their ways.
8 Αι χηραι αυτων επληθυνθησαν ενωπιον μου υπερ την αμμον της θαλασσης? εφερα επ' αυτους, επι τας μητερας των νεων, λεηλατην εν μεσημβρια? επεφερα επ' αυτας εξαιφνης ταραχας και τρομους.	8 Their widows have been multiplied by me, more so than the sand of the sea. I have led them against the mother of a youth like an attacker at midday. I have sent a terror suddenly against the cities.
9 Εκεινη, ητις εγεννησεν επτα, απεκαμε, παρεδωκε το πνευμα? ο ηλιος αυτης εδυσεν, ενω, ητο ετι ημερα? κατησχυνθη και εταραχθη? το δε υπολοιπον αυτων θελω παραδωσει εις την μαχαιραν εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτων, λεγει Κυριος.	9 She who gave birth to seven has become weak. Her life has faded away. Her sun has set while it was still daytime. She has been confounded and shamed. And the remainder of them I will give over to the sword in the sight of their enemies, says the Lord.”
10 Ουαι εις εμε, μητερ μου, διοτι εγεννησας εμε ανδρα εριδος και ανδρα φιλονεικιας μεθ' ολης της γης. Ουτε ετοκισα ουτε με ετοκισαν? και ομως πας τις εξ αυτων με καταραται.	10 “O my mother, woe to me! Why did you conceive me, a man of strife, a man of discord to all the earth? I have not lent money at interest, nor has anyone lent money at interest to me. Yet everyone is cursing me.”
11 Ο Κυριος λεγει, Βεβαιως το υπολοιπον σου θελει εισθαι καλον? βεβαιως θελω μεσιτευσει υπερ σου προς τον εχθρον εν καιρω συμφορας και εν καιρω θλιψεως.	11 The Lord says: “Certainly, it will be well with your remnant. Certainly, I will run to meet you, in the time of affliction and in the time of tribulation, against the enemy.
12 Ο σιδηρος θελει συντριψει τον σιδηρον του βορρα και τον χαλκον;	12 But how can iron be joined with the iron from the north or with brass?
13 Τα υπαρχοντα σου και τους θησαυρους σου θελω παραδωσει εις λεηλασιαν ανευ ανταλλαγματος, και τουτο δια πασας τας αμαρτιας σου και κατα παντα τα ορια σου.	13 Your riches and your treasures I will give over to be freely despoiled, because of all your sins, even throughout all your borders.
14 Και θελω σε περασει μετα των εχθρων σου εις τοπον τον οποιον δεν γνωριζεις? διοτι πυρ εξηφθη εν τω θυμω μου, το οποιον θελει εκκαυθη καθ' υμων.	14 And I will lead in your enemies from a land that you do not know. For a fire has been kindled in my fury; it will burn upon you.”
15 Συ, Κυριε, γνωριζεις? ενθυμηθητι με και επισκεψαι με και εκδικησον με απο των καταδιωκοντων με? μη με αρπασης εν τη μακροθυμια σου? γνωρισον οτι δια σε υπεφερα ονειδισμον.	15 “You know me, O Lord. Remember me, and visit me, and watch over me, because of those who persecute me. In your patience, do not choose to let me endure. You know I have suffered reproach because of you.
16 Καθως ευρεθησαν οι λογοι σου, κατεφαγον αυτους? και ο λογος σου ητο εν εμοι χαρα και αγαλλιασις της καρδιας μου? διοτι το ονομα σου εκληθη επ' εμε, Κυριε Θεε των δυναμεων.	16 I discovered your words and I consumed them. And your word became to me as the gladness and joy of my heart. For your name has been invoked over me, O Lord, the God of hosts.
17 Δεν εκαθησα εν συνεδριω χλευαστων και συνευφρανθην? εκαθησα μονος εξ αιτιας της χειρος σου? διοτι συ με ενεπλησας αδημονιας.	17 I did not sit in the company of mockers, nor did I glorify myself before the presence of your hand. I sat alone, because you filled me with threats.
18 Δια τι ο πονος μου ειναι παντοτεινος και η πληγη μου ανιατος, μη θελουσα να ιατρευθη; θελεις εισθαι διολου εις εμε ως ψευστης και ως υδατα απατηλα;	18 Why has my sorrow become never-ending, and why has my wound become so dire that it refuses to be cured? It has become for me like the deception of untrustworthy waters.”
19 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Εαν επιστρεψης, τοτε θελω σε αποκαταστησει παλιν, και θελεις ιστασθαι ενωπιον μου? και εαν αποχωρισης το τιμιον απο του αχρειου, θελεις εισθαι ως το στομα μου? αυτοι ας επιστρεψωσι προς σε, αλλα συ με επιστρεψης προς αυτους.	19 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “If you will be converted, I will convert you. And you will stand before my face. And you will separate what is precious from what is vile. You will be my mouthpiece. They will be converted to you, but you will not be converted to them.
20 Και θελω σε καμει προς τουτον τον λαον οχυρον χαλκουν τειχος? και θελουσι σε πολεμησει, αλλα δεν θελουσιν υπερισχυσει εναντιον σου, διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου δια να σε σωζω και να σε ελευθερονω, λεγει Κυριος.	20 And I will present you to this people as a strong wall of brass. And they will fight against you, and they will not prevail. For I am with you, so as to save you and to rescue you, says the Lord.
21 Και θελω σε ελευθερωσει εκ της χειρος των πονηρων και θελω σε λυτρωσει εκ της χειρος των καταδυναστευοντων.	21 And I will free you from hand of those who are most wicked, and I will redeem you from the hand of the powerful.”
