2 και επαταξεν αυτον και ενεβαλεν αυτον εις τον καταρρακτην ος ην εν πυλη οικου αποτεταγμενου του υπερωου ος ην εν οικω κυριου	2 Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah and then put him in the stocks, in the Upper Benjamin Gateleading into the Temple of Yahweh.
3 και εξηγαγεν πασχωρ τον ιερεμιαν εκ του καταρρακτου και ειπεν αυτω ιερεμιας ουχι πασχωρ εκαλεσεν κυριος το ονομα σου αλλ' η μετοικον	3 Next day, Pashhur had Jeremiah taken out of the stocks; Jeremiah then said to him, 'Not Pashhur butTerror-on-every-Side is Yahweh's name for you.
4 διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω διδωμι σε εις μετοικιαν συν πασι τοις φιλοις σου και πεσουνται εν μαχαιρα εχθρων αυτων και οι οφθαλμοι σου οψονται και σε και παντα ιουδαν δωσω εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και μετοικιουσιν αυτους και κατακοψουσιν αυτους εν μαχαιραις	4 For Yahweh says this, "I am going to hand you over to terror, you and al your friends; they wil fal bythe sword of their enemies, your own eyes wil see it. The whole of Judah, too, I shal hand over to the king ofBabylon; he will carry them off captive to Babylon and put them to the sword.
5 και δωσω την πασαν ισχυν της πολεως ταυτης και παντας τους πονους αυτης και παντας τους θησαυρους του βασιλεως ιουδα εις χειρας εχθρων αυτου και αξουσιν αυτους εις βαβυλωνα	5 And al the wealth of this city, all its stores, al its valuables, al the treasures of the kings of Judah, Ishall hand over to their enemies who wil plunder them, round them up and carry them off to Babylon.
6 και συ και παντες οι κατοικουντες εν τω οικω σου πορευσεσθε εν αιχμαλωσια και εν βαβυλωνι αποθανη και εκει ταφηση συ και παντες οι φιλοι σου οις επροφητευσας αυτοις ψευδη	6 As for you, Pashhur, and your whole household, you will go into captivity; you will go to Babylon; thereyou wil die, and there be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies."

7 ηπατησας με κυριε και ηπατηθην εκρατησας και ηδυνασθης εγενομην εις γελωτα πασαν ημεραν διετελεσα μυκτηριζομενος	7 You have seduced me, Yahweh, and I have let myself be seduced; you have overpowered me: youwere the stronger. I am a laughing-stock al day long, they al make fun of me.
8 οτι πικρω λογω μου γελασομαι αθεσιαν και ταλαιπωριαν επικαλεσομαι οτι εγενηθη λογος κυριου εις ονειδισμον εμοι και εις χλευασμον πασαν ημεραν μου	8 For whenever I speak, I have to howl and proclaim, 'Violence and ruin!' For me, Yahweh's word hasbeen the cause of insult and derision al day long.
9 και ειπα ου μη ονομασω το ονομα κυριου και ου μη λαλησω ετι επι τω ονοματι αυτου και εγενετο ως πυρ καιομενον φλεγον εν τοις οστεοις μου και παρειμαι παντοθεν και ου δυναμαι φερειν	9 I would say to myself, 'I will not think about him, I wil not speak in his name any more,' but then thereseemed to be a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones. The effort to restrain it wearied me, I could notdo it.
10 οτι ηκουσα ψογον πολλων συναθροιζομενων κυκλοθεν επισυστητε και επισυστωμεν αυτω παντες ανδρες φιλοι αυτου τηρησατε την επινοιαν αυτου ει απατηθησεται και δυνησομεθα αυτω και λημψομεθα την εκδικησιν ημων εξ αυτου	10 I heard so many disparaging me, 'Terror on every side! Denounce him! Let us denounce him!' Althose who were on good terms with me watched for my downfal , 'Perhaps he wil be seduced into error. Thenwe shal get the better of him and take our revenge!'
11 και κυριος μετ' εμου καθως μαχητης ισχυων δια τουτο εδιωξαν και νοησαι ουκ ηδυναντο ησχυνθησαν σφοδρα οτι ουκ ενοησαν ατιμιας αυτων αι δι' αιωνος ουκ επιλησθησονται	11 But Yahweh is at my side like a mighty hero; my opponents wil stumble, vanquished, confounded bytheir failure; everlasting, unforgettable disgrace wil be theirs.
12 κυριε δοκιμαζων δικαια συνιων νεφρους και καρδιας ιδοιμι την παρα σου εκδικησιν εν αυτοις οτι προς σε απεκαλυψα τα απολογηματα μου	12 Yahweh Sabaoth, you who test the upright, observer of motives and thoughts, I shall see yourvengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 ασατε τω κυριω αινεσατε αυτω οτι εξειλατο ψυχην πενητος εκ χειρος πονηρευομενων	13 Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of one in need from the clutches of evildoers.

17 οτι ουκ απεκτεινεν με εν μητρα μητρος και εγενετο μοι η μητηρ μου ταφος μου και η μητρα συλλημψεως αιωνιας	17 for not kil ing me in the womb; my mother would have been my grave and her womb pregnant forever.
18 ινα τι τουτο εξηλθον εκ μητρας του βλεπειν κοπους και πονους και διετελεσαν εν αισχυνη αι ημεραι μου	18 Why ever did I come out of the womb to see toil and sorrow and end my days in shame?
