Jeremiah 48

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.	1 Κατα του Μωαβ. Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ουαι εις την Νεβω? διοτι απωλεσθη? η Κιριαθαιμ κατησχυνθη, εκυριευθη? η Μισγαβ κατησχυνθη και ετρομαξε.
2 There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.	2 δεν θελει εισθαι πλεον καυχημα εις τον Μωαβ? εν Εσεβων κακον εβουλευθησαν εναντιον αυτης? Ελθετε και ας εξαλειψωμεν αυτην απο του να ηναι εθνος? και συ, Μαδμεν, θελεις κατεδαφισθη? μαχαιρα θελει σε καταδιωξει.
3 A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!	3 Φωνη κραυγης απο Οροναιμ, λεηλασια και συντριμμα μεγα.
4 Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.	4 Ο Μωαβ συνετριβη? τα παιδια αυτου εξεπεμψαν κραυγην.
5 For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.	5 Διοτι εις την αναβασιν της Λουειθ θελει υψωθη κλαυθμος επι κλαυθμον, επειδη εις την καταβασιν του Οροναιμ ηκουσαν οι εχθροι κραυγην συντριμματος.
6 Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.	6 Φυγετε, σωσατε την ζωην σας, και γενεσθε ως αγριομυρικη εν τη ερημω.
7 For because you have had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders together.	7 Διοτι, επειδη ηλπισας επι τα οχυρωματα σου και επι τους θησαυρους σου, και συ αυτος θελεις πιασθη? και ο Χεμως θελει εξελθει εις αιχμαλωσιαν, οι ιερεις αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου ομου.
8 And the despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.	8 Και θελει ελθει επι πασαν πολιν ο εξολοθρευτης, και πολις δεν θελει εκφυγει? η κοιλας οτι θελει απολεσθη και η πεδινη θελει αφανισθη, καθως ειπε Κυριος.
9 Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.	9 Δοτε πτερυγας εις τον Μωαβ, δια να πεταξη και να εκφυγη? διοτι αι πολεις αυτου θελουσιν ερημωθη, χωρις να υπαρχη ο κατοικων εν αυταις.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.	10 Επικαταρατος ο ποιων το εργον του Κυριου αμελως? και επικαταρατος ο αποσυρων την μαχαιραν αυτου απο αιματος.
11 Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.	11 Ο Μωαβ εσταθη αταραχος εκ νεοτητος αυτου και ανεπαυετο επι την τρυγιαν αυτου και δεν εξεκενωθη απο αγγειον εις αγγειον ουδε υπηγεν εις αιχμαλωσιαν? δια τουτο η γευσις αυτου εμεινεν εις αυτον, και η οσμη αυτου δεν μετεβληθη.
12 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.	12 Δια τουτο, ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω αποστειλει επ' αυτον μετατοπιστας και θελουσι μετατοπισει αυτον? και θελουσιν εκκενωσει τα αγγεια αυτου και συντριψει τους πιθους αυτου.
13 And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.	13 Και ο Μωαβ θελει αισχυνθη δια τον Χεμως, καθως ησχυνθη ο οικος Ισραηλ δια την Βαιθηλ την ελπιδα αυτων.
14 How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’	14 Πως λεγετε, Ημεις ειμεθα ισχυροι και ανδρες δυνατοι εις πολεμον;
15 Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.	15 Ο Μωαβ ελεηλατηθη, και επυρποληθησαν αι πολεις αυτου, και οι εκλεκτοι νεοι αυτου κατεβησαν εις σφαγην, λεγει ο Βασιλευς, του οποιου το ονομα ειναι ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.
16 The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.	16 Η συμφορα του Μωαβ πλησιαζει να ελθη, και η θλιψις αυτου σπευδει σφοδρα.
17 Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’	17 Παντες οι κυκλω αυτου, θρηνησατε αυτον? και παντες οι γνωριζοντες το ονομα αυτου, ειπατε, Πως συνετριβη η δυνατη ραβδος, η ενδοξος βακτηρια.
18 Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.	18 Θυγατηρ, η κατοικουσα εν Δαιβων, καταβα απο της δοξης και καθησον εν ανυδρω? διοτι ο λεηλατης του Μωαβ αναβαινει επι σε και θελει αφανισει τα οχυρωματα σου.
19 Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’	19 Η κατοικουσα εν Αροηρ, στηθι πλησιον της οδου και παρατηρησον? ερωτησον τον φευγοντα και την διασωζομενην και ειπε, Τι εγεινεν;
20 Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,	20 Ο Μωαβ κατησχυνθη? διοτι συνετριβη? ολολυξον και βοησον. αναγγειλατε εις Αρνων οτι ο Μωαβ ελεηλατηθη,
21 and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,	21 και κρισις ηλθεν επι την γην της πεδινης, επι Ωλων και επι Ιαασα και επι Μηφααθ,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,	22 και επι Δαιβων και επι Νεβω και επι Βαιθ-δεβλαθαιμ,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,	23 και επι Κιριαθαιμ και επι Βαιθ-γαμουλ και επι Βαιθ-μεων,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.	24 και επι Κεριωθ και επι Βοσορρα και επι πασας τας πολεις της γης Μωαβ, τας μακραν και τας εγγυς.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.	25 Το κερας του Μωαβ συνεθλασθη και ο βραχιων αυτου συνετριβη, λεγει Κυριος.
26 Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.	26 Μεθυσατε αυτον? διοτι εμεγαλυνθη κατα του Κυριου? και ο Μωαβ θελει κυλισθη εις τον εμετον αυτου και θελει εισθαι εις γελωτα και αυτος.
27 For Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.	27 Διοτι μηπως ο Ισραηλ δεν εσταθη γελως εις σε; μηπως ευρεθη μεταξυ κλεπτων; διοτι οσακις ομιλεις περι αυτου, σκιρτας υπο χαρας.
28 Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.	28 Κατοικοι του Μωαβ, καταλιπετε τας πολεις και κατοικησατε εν πετρα και γενεσθε ως περιστερα φωλευουσα εις τα πλαγια του στοματος του σπηλαιου.
29 We have listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.	29 Ηκουσαμεν την υπερηφανιαν του Μωαβ, του καθ' υπερβολην υπερηφανου? την υψηλοφροσυνην αυτου και την αλαζονειαν αυτου και την υπερηφανιαν αυτου και την επαρσιν της καρδιας αυτου.
30 I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.	30 Εγω γνωριζω την μανιαν αυτου, λεγει Κυριος, πλην ουχι ουτω? τα ψευδη αυτου δεν θελουσι τελεσφορησει.
31 For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.	31 Δια τουτο θελω ολολυξει δια τον Μωαβ και θελω αναβοησει δια ολον τον Μωαβ? θελουσι θρηνολογησει δια τους ανδρας της Κιρ-ερες.
32 O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.	32 Αμπελε της Σιβμα, θελω κλαυσει δια σε υπερ τον κλαυθμον της Ιαζηρ? τα κληματα σου διεπεραααν την θαλασσαν, εφθασαν εως της θαλασσης της Ιαζηρ? ο λεηλατης επεπεσεν επι το θερος σου και επι τον τρυγητον σου.
33 Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.	33 Και χαρα και αγαλλιασις εξηλειφθη απο της καρποφορου πεδιαδος και απο της γης Μωαβ? και αφηρεσα τον οινον απο των ληνων? ουδεις θελει ληνοπατησει αλαλαζων? αλαλαγμος δεν θελει ακουσθη.
34 From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.	34 Δια την κραυγην της Εσεβων, ητις εφθασεν εως Ελεαλη και εως Ιαας, αυτοι εδωκαν την φωνην αυτων απο Σηγωρ εως Οροναιμ ως δαμαλις τριετης? διοτι και τα υδατα του Νιμρειμ θελουσιν εκλειψει.
35 And I will take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices to his gods.	35 Και θελω παυσει εν τω Μωαβ, λεγει Κυριος, τον προσφεροντα ολοκαυτωμα εις τους υψηλους τοπους και τον θυμιαζοντα εις τους θεους αυτου.
36 Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.	36 Δια τουτο η καρδια μου θελει βομβησει δια τον Μωαβ ως αυλος και η καρδια μου θελει βομβησει ως αυλος δια τους ανδρας της Κιρ-ερες? διοτι τα αποκτηθεντα εις αυτην αγαθα απωλεσθησαν.
37 For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.	37 Διοτι πασα κεφαλη θελει εισθαι φαλακρα και πας πωγων εξυρισμενος? επι πασας τας χειρας θελουσιν εισθαι εντομαι και επι την οσφυν σακκος.
38 Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, says the Lord.	38 Επι παντα τα δωματα του Μωαβ και επι πασας τας πλατειας αυτου θρηνος θελει εισθαι? διοτι συνετριψα τον Μωαβ ως σκευος εν ω δεν υπαρχει χαρις, λεγει Κυριος.
39 How was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”	39 Ολολυξατε, λεγοντες, Πως συνετριβη? πως ο Μωαβ εστρεψε τα νωτα εν καταισχυνη? ουτως ο Μωαβ θελει εισθαι γελως και φρικη εις παντας τους περι αυτον.
40 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.	40 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, θελει πεταξει ως αετος, και θελει απλωσει τας πτερυγας αυτου επι τον Μωαβ.
41 Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.	41 Η Κεριωθ εκυριευθη και τα οχυρωματα επιασθησαν, και αι καρδιαι των ισχυρων του Μωαβ θελουσιν εισθαι κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν ως καρδια γυναικος κοιλοπονουσης.
42 And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.	42 Και ο Μωαβ θελει εξαλειφθη απο του να ηναι λαος, διοτι εμεγαλυνθη κατα του Κυριου.
43 Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.	43 Φοβος και λακκος και παγις θελουσιν εισθαι επι σε, κατοικε του Μωαβ, λεγει Κυριος.
44 Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, says the Lord.	44 Ο εκφυγων απο του φοβου θελει πεσει εις τον λακκον, και ο αναβας εκ του λακκου θελει πιασθη εν τη παγιδι? διοτι θελω φερει επ' αυτον, επι τον Μωαβ, το ετος της επισκεψεως αυτων, λεγει Κυριος.
45 Those fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.	45 Οι φυγοντες εσταθησαν υπο την σκιαν της Εσεβων ητονημενοι? πυρ ομως θελει εξελθει εξ Εσεβων και φλοξ εκ μεσου της Σηων, και θελει καταφαγει το οριον του Μωαβ και την ακροπολιν των θορυβουντων πολεμιστων.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.	46 Ουαι εις σε, Μωαβ? ο λαος του Χεμως απωλεσθη? διοτι οι υιοι σου επιασθησαν αιχμαλωτοι και αι θυγατερες σου αιχμαλωτοι.
47 But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.	47 Αλλ' εγω θελω επιστρεψει την αιχμαλωσιαν του Μωαβ εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις, λεγει Κυριος. Μεχρι τουτου η κρισις του Μωαβ.
