ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 6

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ενισχυσατε υιοι βενιαμιν εκ μεσου της ιερουσαλημ και εν θεκουε σημανατε σαλπιγγι και υπερ βαιθαχαρμα αρατε σημειον οτι κακα εκκεκυφεν απο βορρα και συντριβη μεγαλη γινεται	1 Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.
2 και αφαιρεθησεται το υψος σου θυγατερ σιων	2 I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
3 εις αυτην ηξουσιν ποιμενες και τα ποιμνια αυτων και πηξουσιν επ' αυτην σκηνας κυκλω και ποιμανουσιν εκαστος τη χειρι αυτου	3 The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.
4 παρασκευασασθε επ' αυτην εις πολεμον αναστητε και αναβωμεν επ' αυτην μεσημβριας ουαι ημιν οτι κεκλικεν η ημερα οτι εκλειπουσιν αι σκιαι της εσπερας	4 Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.
5 αναστητε και αναβωμεν εν τη νυκτι και διαφθειρωμεν τα θεμελια αυτης	5 Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
6 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος εκκοψον τα ξυλα αυτης εκχεον επι ιερουσαλημ δυναμιν ω πολις ψευδης ολη καταδυναστεια εν αυτη	6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
7 ως ψυχει λακκος υδωρ ουτως ψυχει κακια αυτης ασεβεια και ταλαιπωρια ακουσθησεται εν αυτη επι προσωπον αυτης δια παντος πονω και μαστιγι	7 As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.
8 παιδευθηση ιερουσαλημ μη αποστη η ψυχη μου απο σου μη ποιησω σε αβατον γην ητις ου κατοικηθησεται	8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
9 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος καλαμασθε καλαμασθε ως αμπελον τα καταλοιπα του ισραηλ επιστρεψατε ως ο τρυγων επι τον καρταλλον αυτου	9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket.
10 προς τινα λαλησω και διαμαρτυρωμαι και ακουσεται ιδου απεριτμητα τα ωτα αυτων και ου δυνανται ακουειν ιδου το ρημα κυριου εγενετο αυτοις εις ονειδισμον ου μη βουληθωσιν αυτο ακουσαι	10 To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it.
11 και τον θυμον μου επλησα και επεσχον και ου συνετελεσα αυτους εκχεω επι νηπια εξωθεν και επι συναγωγην νεανισκων αμα οτι ανηρ και γυνη συλλημφθησονται πρεσβυτερος μετα πληρους ημερων	11 Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.
12 και μεταστραφησονται αι οικιαι αυτων εις ετερους αγροι και αι γυναικες αυτων επι το αυτο οτι εκτενω την χειρα μου επι τους κατοικουντας την γην ταυτην λεγει κυριος	12 And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
13 οτι απο μικρου αυτων και εως μεγαλου παντες συνετελεσαντο ανομα απο ιερεως και εως ψευδοπροφητου παντες εποιησαν ψευδη	13 For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit.
14 και ιωντο το συντριμμα του λαου μου εξουθενουντες και λεγοντες ειρηνη ειρηνη και που εστιν ειρηνη	14 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
15 κατησχυνθησαν οτι εξελιποσαν και ουδ' ως καταισχυνομενοι κατησχυνθησαν και την ατιμιαν αυτων ουκ εγνωσαν δια τουτο πεσουνται εν τη πτωσει αυτων και εν καιρω επισκοπης αυτων απολουνται ειπεν κυριος	15 They were confounded, because they commmitted abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord.
16 ταδε λεγει κυριος στητε επι ταις οδοις και ιδετε και ερωτησατε τριβους κυριου αιωνιους και ιδετε ποια εστιν η οδος η αγαθη και βαδιζετε εν αυτη και ευρησετε αγνισμον ταις ψυχαις υμων και ειπαν ου πορευσομεθα	16 Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk.
17 κατεστακα εφ' υμας σκοπους ακουσατε της φωνης της σαλπιγγος και ειπαν ουκ ακουσομεθα	17 And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
18 δια τουτο ηκουσαν τα εθνη και οι ποιμαινοντες τα ποιμνια αυτων	18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
19 ακουε γη ιδου εγω επαγω επι τον λαον τουτον κακα τον καρπον αποστροφης αυτων οτι των λογων μου ου προσεσχον και τον νομον μου απωσαντο	19 Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law.
20 ινα τι μοι λιβανον εκ σαβα φερετε και κινναμωμον εκ γης μακροθεν τα ολοκαυτωματα υμων ουκ εισιν δεκτα και αι θυσιαι υμων ουχ ηδυναν μοι	20 To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
21 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω διδωμι επι τον λαον τουτον ασθενειαν και ασθενησουσιν εν αυτη πατερες και υιοι αμα γειτων και ο πλησιον αυτου απολουνται	21 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish.
22 ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου λαος ερχεται απο βορρα και εθνη εξεγερθησεται απ' εσχατου της γης	22 Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth.
23 τοξον και ζιβυνην κρατησουσιν ιταμος εστιν και ουκ ελεησει φωνη αυτου ως θαλασσα κυμαινουσα εφ' ιπποις και αρμασιν παραταξεται ως πυρ εις πολεμον προς σε θυγατερ σιων	23 They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.
24 ηκουσαμεν την ακοην αυτων παρελυθησαν αι χειρες ημων θλιψις κατεσχεν ημας ωδινες ως τικτουσης	24 We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
25 μη εκπορευεσθε εις αγρον και εν ταις οδοις μη βαδιζετε οτι ρομφαια των εχθρων παροικει κυκλοθεν	25 Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
26 θυγατερ λαου μου περιζωσαι σακκον καταπασαι εν σποδω πενθος αγαπητου ποιησαι σεαυτη κοπετον οικτρον οτι εξαιφνης ηξει ταλαιπωρια εφ' υμας	26 Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
27 δοκιμαστην δεδωκα σε εν λαοις δεδοκιμασμενοις και γνωση με εν τω δοκιμασαι με την οδον αυτων	27 I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
28 παντες ανηκοοι πορευομενοι σκολιως χαλκος και σιδηρος παντες διεφθαρμενοι εισιν	28 All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
29 εξελιπεν φυσητηρ απο πυρος εξελιπεν μολιβος εις κενον αργυροκοπος αργυροκοπει πονηρια αυτων ουκ ετακη	29 The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.
30 αργυριον αποδεδοκιμασμενον καλεσατε αυτους οτι απεδοκιμασεν αυτους κυριος	30 Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
