Jeremiah 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The following message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:	1 -
2 Stand at the gate of the house of the LORD, and there proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD!	2 ακουσατε λογον κυριου πασα η ιουδαια
3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Reform your ways and your deeds, so that I may remain with you in this place.	3 ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ διορθωσατε τας οδους υμων και τα επιτηδευματα υμων και κατοικιω υμας εν τω τοπω τουτω
4 Put not your trust in the deceitful words: "This is the temple of the LORD! The temple of the LORD! The temple of the LORD!"	4 μη πεποιθατε εφ' εαυτοις επι λογοις ψευδεσιν οτι το παραπαν ουκ ωφελησουσιν υμας λεγοντες ναος κυριου ναος κυριου εστιν
5 Only if you thoroughly reform your ways and your deeds; if each of you deals justly with his neighbor;	5 οτι εαν διορθουντες διορθωσητε τας οδους υμων και τα επιτηδευματα υμων και ποιουντες ποιησητε κρισιν ανα μεσον ανδρος και ανα μεσον του πλησιον αυτου
6 if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place, or follow strange gods to your own harm,	6 και προσηλυτον και ορφανον και χηραν μη καταδυναστευσητε και αιμα αθωον μη εκχεητε εν τω τοπω τουτω και οπισω θεων αλλοτριων μη πορευησθε εις κακον υμιν
7 will I remain with you in this place, in the land which I gave your fathers long ago and forever.	7 και κατοικιω υμας εν τω τοπω τουτω εν γη η εδωκα τοις πατρασιν υμων εξ αιωνος και εως αιωνος
8 But here you are, putting your trust in deceitful words to your own loss!	8 ει δε υμεις πεποιθατε επι λογοις ψευδεσιν οθεν ουκ ωφεληθησεσθε
9 Are you to steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, go after strange gods that you know not,	9 και φονευετε και μοιχασθε και κλεπτετε και ομνυετε επ' αδικω και εθυμιατε τη βααλ και επορευεσθε οπισω θεων αλλοτριων ων ουκ οιδατε του κακως ειναι υμιν
10 and yet come to stand before me in this house which bears my name, and say: "We are safe; we can commit all these abominations again"?	10 και ηλθετε και εστητε ενωπιον εμου εν τω οικω ου επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ' αυτω και ειπατε απεσχημεθα του μη ποιειν παντα τα βδελυγματα ταυτα
11 Has this house which bears my name become in your eyes a den of thieves? I too see what is being done, says the LORD.	11 μη σπηλαιον ληστων ο οικος μου ου επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ' αυτω εκει ενωπιον υμων και εγω ιδου εωρακα λεγει κυριος
12 You may go to Shiloh, which I made the dwelling place of my name in the beginning. See what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.	12 οτι πορευθητε εις τον τοπον μου τον εν σηλωμ ου κατεσκηνωσα το ονομα μου εκει εμπροσθεν και ιδετε α εποιησα αυτω απο προσωπου κακιας λαου μου ισραηλ
13 And now, because you have committed all these misdeeds, says the LORD, because you did not listen, though I spoke to you untiringly; because you did not answer, though I called you,	13 και νυν ανθ' ων εποιησατε παντα τα εργα ταυτα και ελαλησα προς υμας και ουκ ηκουσατε μου και εκαλεσα υμας και ουκ απεκριθητε
14 I will do to this house named after me, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, just as I did to Shiloh.	14 και ποιησω τω οικω τουτω ω επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ' αυτω εφ' ω υμεις πεποιθατε επ' αυτω και τω τοπω ω εδωκα υμιν και τοις πατρασιν υμων καθως εποιησα τη σηλωμ
15 I will cast you away from me, as I cast away all your brethren, all the offspring of Ephraim.	15 και απορριψω υμας απο προσωπου μου καθως απερριψα τους αδελφους υμων παν το σπερμα εφραιμ
16 You, now, do not intercede for this people; raise not in their behalf a pleading prayer! Do not urge me, for I will not listen to you.	16 και συ μη προσευχου περι του λαου τουτου και μη αξιου του ελεηθηναι αυτους και μη ευχου και μη προσελθης μοι περι αυτων οτι ουκ εισακουσομαι
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem?	17 η ουχ ορας τι αυτοι ποιουσιν εν ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και εν ταις οδοις ιερουσαλημ
18 The children gather wood, their fathers light the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven, while libations are poured out to strange gods in order to hurt me.	18 οι υιοι αυτων συλλεγουσιν ξυλα και οι πατερες αυτων καιουσι πυρ και αι γυναικες αυτων τριβουσιν σταις του ποιησαι χαυωνας τη στρατια του ουρανου και εσπεισαν σπονδας θεοις αλλοτριοις ινα παροργισωσιν με
19 Is it I whom they hurt, says the LORD; is it not rather themselves, to their own confusion?	19 μη εμε αυτοι παροργιζουσιν λεγει κυριος ουχι εαυτους οπως καταισχυνθη τα προσωπα αυτων
20 See now, says the Lord GOD, my anger and my wrath will pour out upon this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruits of the earth; it will burn without being quenched.	20 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου οργη και θυμος μου χειται επι τον τοπον τουτον και επι τους ανθρωπους και επι τα κτηνη και επι παν ξυλον του αγρου αυτων και επι παντα τα γενηματα της γης και καυθησεται και ου σβεσθησεται
21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Heap your holocausts upon your sacrifices; eat up the flesh!	21 ταδε λεγει κυριος τα ολοκαυτωματα υμων συναγαγετε μετα των θυσιων υμων και φαγετε κρεα
22 In speaking to your fathers on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I gave them no command concerning holocaust or sacrifice.	22 οτι ουκ ελαλησα προς τους πατερας υμων και ουκ ενετειλαμην αυτοις εν ημερα η ανηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου περι ολοκαυτωματων και θυσιας
23 This rather is what I commanded them: Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.	23 αλλ' η το ρημα τουτο ενετειλαμην αυτοις λεγων ακουσατε της φωνης μου και εσομαι υμιν εις θεον και υμεις εσεσθε μοι εις λαον και πορευεσθε εν πασαις ταις οδοις μου αις αν εντειλωμαι υμιν οπως αν ευ η υμιν
24 But they obeyed not, nor did they pay heed. They walked in the hardness of their evil hearts and turned their backs, not their faces, to me.	24 και ουκ ηκουσαν μου και ου προσεσχεν το ους αυτων αλλ' επορευθησαν εν τοις ενθυμημασιν της καρδιας αυτων της κακης και εγενηθησαν εις τα οπισθεν και ουκ εις τα εμπροσθεν
25 From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day, I have sent you untiringly all my servants the prophets.	25 αφ' ης ημερας εξηλθοσαν οι πατερες αυτων εκ γης αιγυπτου και εως της ημερας ταυτης και εξαπεστειλα προς υμας παντας τους δουλους μου τους προφητας ημερας και ορθρου και απεστειλα
26 Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed; they have stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers.	26 και ουκ ηκουσαν μου και ου προσεσχεν το ους αυτων και εσκληρυναν τον τραχηλον αυτων υπερ τους πατερας αυτων
27 When you speak all these words to them, they will not listen to you either; when you call to them, they will not answer you.	27 ,27-28 και ερεις αυτοις τον λογον τουτον τουτο το εθνος ο ουκ ηκουσεν της φωνης κυριου ουδε εδεξατο παιδειαν εξελιπεν η πιστις εκ στοματος αυτων
28 Say to them: This is the nation which does not listen to the voice of the LORD, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech.	28 ,27-28
29 Cut off your dedicated hair and throw it away! on the heights intone an elegy; For the LORD has rejected and cast off the generation that draws down his wrath.	29 κειραι την κεφαλην σου και απορριπτε και αναλαβε επι χειλεων θρηνον οτι απεδοκιμασεν κυριος και απωσατο την γενεαν την ποιουσαν ταυτα
30 The people of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the LORD. They have defiled the house which bears my name by setting up in it their abominable idols.	30 οτι εποιησαν οι υιοι ιουδα το πονηρον εναντιον εμου λεγει κυριος εταξαν τα βδελυγματα αυτων εν τω οικω ου επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ' αυτον του μιαναι αυτον
31 In the Valley of Ben-hinnom they have built the high place of Topheth to immolate in fire their sons and their daughters, such a thing as I never commanded or had in mind.	31 και ωκοδομησαν τον βωμον του ταφεθ ος εστιν εν φαραγγι υιου εννομ του κατακαιειν τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων εν πυρι ο ουκ ενετειλαμην αυτοις και ου διενοηθην εν τη καρδια μου
32 Therefore, beware! days will come, says the LORD, when Topheth and the Valley of Ben-hinnom will no longer be called such, but rather the Valley of Slaughter. For lack of space, Topheth will be a burial place.	32 δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και ουκ ερουσιν ετι βωμος του ταφεθ και φαραγξ υιου εννομ αλλ' η φαραγξ των ανηρημενων και θαψουσιν εν τω ταφεθ δια το μη υπαρχειν τοπον
33 The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the field, which no one will drive away.	33 και εσονται οι νεκροι του λαου τουτου εις βρωσιν τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και τοις θηριοις της γης και ουκ εσται ο αποσοβων
34 In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem I will silence the cry of joy, the cry of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will be turned to rubble.	34 και καταλυσω εκ πολεων ιουδα και εκ διοδων ιερουσαλημ φωνην ευφραινομενων και φωνην χαιροντων φωνην νυμφιου και φωνην νυμφης οτι εις ερημωσιν εσται πασα η γη
