1 Και εβασιλευσε Σεδεκιας ο βασιλευς, ο υιος του Ιωσιου, αντι Χονιου υιου του Ιωακειμ, τον οποιον Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος κατεστησε βασιλεα εν τη γη Ιουδα.1 And then king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, reigned in place of Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, appointed him as king in the land of Judah.
2 Και δεν ηκουσεν αυτος και οι δουλοι αυτου και ο λαος του τοπου τους λογους του Κυριου, τους οποιους ελαλησε δια Ιερεμιου του προφητου.2 And neither he himself, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, obeyed the words of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah, the prophet.
3 Και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς Σεδεκιας τον Ιεουχαλ υιον του Σελεμιου και τον Σοφονιαν υιον του Μαασιου, τον ιερεα, προς Ιερεμιαν τον προφητην, λεγων, Δεηθητι, παρακαλω, υπερ ημων προς Κυριον τον Θεον ημων.3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray to the Lord our God for us.”
4 Ο δε Ιερεμιας εισηρχετο και εξηρχετο μεταξυ του λαου, και δεν ειχον βαλει αυτον εις φυλακην.4 Now Jeremiah was walking freely in the midst of the people. For they had not yet sent him into the custody of the prison. And then the army of Pharaoh went forth from Egypt. And hearing this, the Chaldeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, withdrew from Jerusalem.
5 Και εξηλθε το στρατευμα του Φαραω εκ της Αιγυπτου? και οτε οι Χαλδαιοι οι πολιορκουντες την Ιερουσαλημ ηκουσαν την φημην αυτων, ανεχωρησαν απο Ιερουσαλημ.5 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
6 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς Ιερεμιαν τον προφητην, λεγων,6 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: So shall you say to the king of Judah, who sent you to question me: Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which has gone forth in assistance to you, will return to their own land, into Egypt.
7 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ουτω θελετε ειπει προς τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα, οστις απεστειλεν υμας προς εμε δια να με ερωτησητε? Ιδου, το στρατευμα του Φαραω το εξελθον εις βοηθειαν υμων θελει επιστρεψει εις την γην αυτου, την Αιγυπτον?7 And the Chaldeans will return and will make war against this city. And they will seize it and burn it with fire.
8 και οι Χαλδαιοι θελουσιν επαναστρεψει και πολεμησει κατα της πολεως ταυτης και θελουσι κυριευσει αυτην και κατακαυσει αυτην εν πυρι.8 Thus says the Lord: Do not be willing to deceive your own souls, saying: ‘The Chaldeans will certainly withdraw and go away from us.’ For they will not go away.
9 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Μη πλανασθε, λεγοντες, οι Χαλδαιοι εξαπαντος θελουσιν απελθει αφ' ημων? επειδη δεν θελουσιν απελθει.9 But even if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and if there were left behind from among them only a few wounded men, they would rise up, each one from his tent, and they would burn this city with fire.”
10 Διοτι και αν παταξητε απαν το στρατευμα των Χαλδαιων, το οποιον σας πολεμει, και εναπολειφθωσι πεπληγωμενοι τινες μεταξυ αυτων, ουτοι θελουσι σηκωθη εκαστος εκ της σκηνης αυτου και κατακαυσει την πολιν ταυτην εν πυρι.10 Therefore, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army,
11 Και οτε το στρατευμα των Χαλδαιων απηλθεν απο Ιερουσαλημ δια τον φοβον του στρατευματος του Φαραω,11 Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin, and to distribute a possession there, in the sight of the citizens.
12 τοτε εξηλθεν ο Ιερεμιας εξ Ιερουσαλημ, δια να υπαγη εις την γην Βενιαμιν, ωστε να υπεκφυγη εκειθεν μεταξυ του λαου.12 And when he had arrived at the gate of Benjamin, the keeper of the gate, whose turn it was to be there, was named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he apprehended Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.”
13 Και οτε αυτος ηλθεν εις την πυλην Βενιαμιν, ο αρχηγος της φρουρας ευρισκετο εκει, του οποιου το ονομα ητο Ιρειας υιος του Σελεμιου, υιου του Ανανιου? και επιασε τον Ιερεμιαν τον προφητην, λεγων, Συ προσφευγεις προς τους Χαλδαιους.13 And Jeremiah responded: “That is false. I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans.” But he did not listen to him. And so Irijah took Jeremiah, and he brought him to the leaders.
14 Και ειπεν ο Ιερεμιας, Ψευδος ειναι? εγω δεν προσφευγω προς τους Χαλδαιους. Πλην δεν ηκουσεν αυτον? και επιασεν ο Ιρειας τον Ιερεμιαν και εφερεν αυτον προς τους αρχοντας.14 Therefore, the leaders were angry with Jeremiah, and so they beat him and sent him to the prison that was in the house of Jonathan, the scribe. For he was the chief over the prison.
15 Και ωργισθησαν οι αρχοντες κατα του Ιερεμιου και επαταξαν αυτον και εφυλακισαν αυτον εν τη οικια Ιωναθαν τον γραμματεως, διοτι ταυτην ειχον καμει δεσμωτηριον.15 And so Jeremiah went into the house of the prison and into a dungeon. And Jeremiah sat there for many days.
16 Οτε δε ο Ιερεμιας εισηλθεν εις τον λακκον και εις τας κρυπτας και εκαθησεν ο Ιερεμιας εκει πολλας ημερας,16 Then Zedekiah the king, sending, took him out and questioned him secretly in his house, and he said: “Do you think that there is any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said: “There is.” And he said: “You will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.”
17 τοτε απεστειλε Σεδεκιας ο βασιλευς και ελαβεν αυτον, και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο βασιλευς κρυφιως εν τη οικια αυτου και ειπεν, Ειναι λογος παρα Κυριου; Και ο Ιερεμιας ειπεν, ειναι? και ειπεν, εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος θελεις παραδοθη.17 And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah: “How have I sinned against you, or your servants, or your people, such that you would cast me into a house of imprisonment?
18 Και ειπεν ο Ιερεμιας προς τον βασιλεα Σεδεκιαν, Τι ημαρτησα εις σε η εις τους δουλους σου η εις τον λαον τουτον, και με εβαλετε εις το δεσμωτηριον;18 Where are your prophets, who were prophesying to you, and who were saying: ‘The king of Babylon will not overwhelm you and this land?’
19 και που ειναι οι προφηται σας οι προφητευσαντες εις εσας, λεγοντες, Ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος δεν θελει ελθει εφ' υμας και επι την γην ταυτην;19 Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king. Let my petition prevail in your sight. And do not send me back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
20 δια τουτο ακουσον τωρα, παρακαλω, κυριε μου βασιλευ? ας γεινη δεκτη, παρακαλω, η δεησις μου ενωπιον σου? και μη με επαναστρεψης εις την οικιαν Ιωναθαν του γραμματεως, δια να μη αποθανω εκει.20 Then king Zedekiah instructed that Jeremiah be confined to the vestibule of the prison, and that they should give him a twist of bread daily, along with stew, until all the bread in the city had been consumed. And Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison.
21 Τοτε προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς Σεδεκιας και εφυλαττον τον Ιερεμιαν εν τη αυλη της φυλακης, και εδιδον εις αυτον καθ' ημεραν ολιγον αρτον εκ των αρτοπωλειων, εωσου εξελιπεν ολος ο αρτος της πολεως. Και εμεινεν ο Ιερεμιας εν τη αυλη της φυλακης.
