ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 44

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ο λογος ο γενομενος προς τον Ιερεμιαν περι παντων των Ιουδαιων των κατοικουντων εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, των κατοικουντων εν Μιγδωλ και εν Ταφνης και εν Νωφ και εν τη γη Παθρως, λεγων,	1 The word that came through Jeremiah to all the Jews who were living in the land of Egypt, living at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, saying:
2 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? σεις ειδετε παντα τα κακα τα οποια επεφερα επι την Ιερουσαλημ και επι πασας τας πολεις του Ιουδα, και ιδου, αυται ερημοι την σημερον και δεν υπαρχει ο κατοικων εν αυταις,	2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You yourselves have seen all this evil that I have led over Jerusalem and over all the cities of Judah. And behold, they are desolate to this day, and there is no inhabitant in them,
3 εξ αιτιας της κακιας αυτων, την οποιαν επραξαν δια να με παροργισωσιν, υπαγοντες να θυμιαζωσι και να λατρευωσιν αλλους θεους, τους οποιους δεν εγνωρισαν αυτοι, σεις, ουδε οι πατερες σας.	3 because of the wickedness which they have done, so that they provoked me to wrath, and because they went to offer sacrifice and worship to strange gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.
4 Και απεστειλα προς εσας παντας τους δουλους μου τους προφητας, εγειρομενος πρωι και αποστελλων, λεγων, Μη πραττετε το βδελυρον τουτο πραγμα, το οποιον μισω.	4 And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising in the night, and sending, and saying: ‘Do not choose to do this abominable word, which I hate.’
5 Αλλα δεν ηκουσαν ουδε εκλιναν το ωτιον αυτων δια να επιστρεψωσιν απο της κακιας αυτων, ωστε να μη θυμιαζωσιν εις αλλους θεους.	5 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear, so that they would convert from their evil, and so that they would not sacrifice to strange gods.
6 Δια τουτο εξεχυθη η οργη μου και ο θυμος μου και εξεκαυθη εν ταις πολεσι του Ιουδα και εν ταις πλατειαις της Ιερουσαλημ? και εγειναν ερημοι, αβατοι, ως την ημεραν ταυτην.	6 And so my indignation and my fury was fanned and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. And they have been turned into desolation and devastation, just as it is this day.
7 Και τωρα ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Δια τι σεις πραττετε το μεγα τουτο κακον εναντιον των ψυχων σας, ωστε να αφανισητε αφ' υμων ανδρα και γυναικα, νηπιον και θηλαζον, εκ μεσου του Ιουδα, δια να μη μεινη εις εσας υπολοιπον?	7 And now, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, so that, among you, man and woman, child and infant would pass away from the midst of Judah, and so that no remnant at all would be left behind of you?
8 παροργιζοντες με δια των εργων των χειρων σας, θυμιαζοντες εις αλλους θεους εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, οπου ηλθετε να παροικησητε εκει, ωστε να αφανισητε εαυτους και να γεινητε καταρα και ονειδος μεταξυ παντων των εθνων της γης.	8 For you have provoked me by the works of your hands, by sacrificing to strange gods in the land of Egypt, into which you have entered in order to live there, and so that you would perish and become a curse and a disgrace before all the nations of the earth.
9 Μηπως ελησμονησατε τας κακιας των πατερων σας και τας κακιας των βασιλεων του Ιουδα και τας κακιας των γυναικων αυτων και τας κακιας σας και τας κακιας των γυναικων σας, τας οποιας επραξαν εν τη γη του Ιουδα και εν ταις πλατειαις της Ιερουσαλημ;	9 How could you have forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Judah, and the evils of their wives, and your own evils, and the evils of your own wives, which they have done in the land of Judah and in the regions of Jerusalem?
10 Δεν εταπεινωθησαν εως της ημερας ταυτης ουδε εφοβηθησαν ουδε περιεπατησαν εν τω νομω μου και εν τοις διαταγμασι μου, τα οποια εθεσα ενωπιον σας και ενωπιον των πατερων σας.	10 They have not been cleansed, even to this day. And they have not feared, and they have not walked in the law of the Lord and in my precepts, which I have given before you and before your fathers.
11 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ιδου, εγω θελω στησει το προσωπον μου εναντιον υμων εις κακον, και δια να εξολοθρευσω παντα τον Ιουδαν.	11 For this reason, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face upon you for evil. And I will disperse all of Judah.
12 Και θελω λαβει τους υπολοιπους του Ιουδα, οιτινες εστησαν το προσωπον αυτων εις το να υπαγωσιν εις την γην της Αιγυπτου, δια να παροικησωσιν εκει, και θελουσι καταναλωθη παντες εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου? θελουσι πεσει εν μαχαιρα, θελουσι καταναλωθη εν πεινη? απο μικρου εως μεγαλου εν μαχαιρα και εν πεινη θελουσιν αποθανει? και θελουσιν εισθαι εις βδελυγμα, εις θαμβος και εις καταραν και εις ονειδος.	12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, who had set their faces so that they would enter into the land of Egypt and live there, and they will all be consumed in the land of Egypt. They will fall by the sword and by famine. And they will be consumed, from the least, even to the greatest. By sword and by famine shall they die. And they will be an oath, and a wonder, and a curse, and a disgrace.
13 Διοτι θελω επισκεφθη τους κατοικουντας εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, ως επεσκεφθην την Ιερουσαλημ, εν μαχαιρα, εν πεινη και εν λοιμω.	13 And I will visit against those who are living in the land of Egypt, just as I have visited against Jerusalem: with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
14 Και ουδεις εκ των υπολοιπων του Ιουδα, των απελθοντων εις την γην της Αιγυπτου δια να παροικησωσιν εκει, θελει εκφυγει η διασωθη, δια να επιστρεψη εις την γην του Ιουδα, εις την οποιαν αυτοι εχουσι προσηλωμενην την ψυχην αυτων, δια να επιστρεψωσι να κατοικησωσιν εκει? διοτι δεν θελουσιν επιστρεψει, ειμη οι διασεσωσμενοι.	14 And there will be no one who escapes, of those who remain among the remnant of the Jews, those who have gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt. And they wish to be returned to the land of Judah, for they lift up their souls so that they might return and live there. But there will be no one who may return, except those who will flee.”
15 Και παντες οι ανδρες οι γνωριζοντες οτι αι γυναικες αυτων εθυμιαζον εις αλλους θεους, και πασαι αι γυναικες αι παρεστωσαι, συναξις μεγαλη, και πας ο λαος οι κατοικουντες εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, εν Παθρως, απεκριθησαν προς τον Ιερεμιαν, λεγοντες,	15 Then all the men, knowing that their wives were sacrificing to strange gods, and all of the women, a great multitude of whom were standing there, and all of the people who were living in the land of Egypt at Pathros, responded to Jeremiah, by saying:
16 Περι του λογου, τον οποιον ελαλησας προς ημας εν ονοματι Κυριου, δεν θελομεν σου ακουσει?	16 “Concerning the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not heed you.
17 αλλα θελομεν εξαπαντος καμνει παν πραγμα εξερχομενον εκ του στοματος ημων, δια να θυμιαζωμεν εις την βασιλισσαν του ουρανου και να καμνωμεν σπονδας εις αυτην, καθως εκαμνομεν, ημεις και οι πατερες ημων, οι βασιλεις ημων και οι αρχοντες ημων, εν ταις πολεσι του Ιουδα και εν ταις πλατειαις της Ιερουσαλημ? και εχορταινομεν αρτον και διεκειμεθα καλως και κακον δεν εβλεπομεν.	17 But we will continue to do every word which proceeds from our own mouth, so that we sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and we pour out libations to her, just as we and our fathers have done, our kings and our leaders, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
18 Αλλ' αφ' οτου επαυσαμεν θυμιαζοντες εις την βασιλισσαν του ουρανου και καμνοντες σπονδας εις αυτην, ωστε εστερηθημεν παντων και κατηναλωθημεν εν μαχαιρα και εν πεινη.	18 But since the time that we ceased to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out libations to her, we have been in need of all things, and we have been consumed by the sword and by famine.
19 Και οτε ημεις εθυμιαζομεν εις την βασιλισσαν του ουρανου και εκαμνομεν σπονδας εις αυτην, μηπως ανευ των ανδρων ημων εκαμνομεν εις αυτην πεμματα δια να προσκυνωμεν αυτην και εκαμνομεν εις αυτην σπονδας;	19 But when we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven and pour out libations to her, do we make cakes for her worship and offer libations to her without our husbands?”
20 Και ειπεν ο Ιερεμιας προς παντα τον λαον, προς ανδρας τε και γυναικας και προς παντα τον λαον, τους αποκριθεντας προς αυτον ουτω, λεγων,	20 And Jeremiah spoke to all the people, facing the men, and facing the women, and facing all the people who had responded this word to him, saying:
21 Μηπως το θυμιαμα, το οποιον εθυμιαζετε εν ταις πολεσι του Ιουδα και εν ταις πλατειαις της Ιερουσαλημ, σεις και οι πατερες σας, οι βασιλεις σας και οι αρχοντες σας και ο λαος του τοπου, δεν ενεθυμηθη αυτο ο Κυριος και δεν ανεβη εις την καρδιαν αυτου;	21 “Was this not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your leaders, and the people of the land, which has been called to mind by the Lord and which has entered into his heart?
22 Ωστε ο Κυριος δεν ηδυνηθη πλεον να υποφερη, εξ αιτιας της κακιας των εργων σας, εξ αιτιας των βδελυγματων, τα οποια επραττετε? οθεν η γη σας κατεσταθη ερημωσις και θαμβος και καταρα, ανευ κατοικου, ως την ημεραν ταυτην.	22 And the Lord could no longer bear this, because of the evil of your intentions, and because of the abominations that you have done. And so, your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, and it is without an inhabitant, even to this day.
23 Επειδη εθυμιαζετε και επειδη ημαρτανετε εις τον Κυριον και δεν υπηκουσατε εις την φωνην του Κυριου ουδε περιεπατησατε εν τω νομω αυτου και εν τοις διαταγμασιν αυτου και εν τοις μαρτυριοις αυτου, δια τουτο συνεβη εις εσας το κακον τουτο, ως την ημεραν ταυτην.	23 This is because you have sacrificed to idols, and you have sinned against the Lord. And you have not heeded the voice of the Lord, and you have not walked in his law, and in his precepts, and in his testimonies. It is for this reason that these evils have happened to you, just as it is today.”
24 Και ειπεν ο Ιερεμιας προς παντα τον λαον και προς πασας τας γυναικας, Ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου, πας ο Ιουδας, ο εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου?	24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women: “Listen to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
25 ουτως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Σεις και αι γυναικες σας και ελαλησατε δια του στοματος σας και εξετελεσατε δια της χειρος σας, λεγοντες, Θελομεν εξαπαντος εκπληρωσει τας ευχας ημων, τας οποιας ηυχηθημεν, να θυμιαζωμεν εις την βασιλισσαν του ουρανου και να καμνωμεν σπονδας εις αυτην? εξαπαντος λοιπον θελετε εκπληρωσει τας ευχας σας και εξαπαντος θελετε εκτελεσει τας ευχας σας.	25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken it with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hands, saying: ‘Let us perform our vows that we have made, so that we may offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out libations to her.’ You have fulfilled your vows and accomplished their works.
26 Δια τουτο ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου, πας ο Ιουδας, οι κατοικουντες εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου? Ιδου, ωμοσα εις το ονομα μου το μεγα, λεγει Κυριος, οτι το ονομα μου δεν θελει ονομασθη πλεον εν τω στοματι ουδενος ανδρος του Ιουδα, καθ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου, ωστε να λεγη, Ζη Κυριος ο Θεος.	26 Because of this, listen to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah, who live in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, that my name will never again be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in the land of Egypt, saying: ‘As the Lord God lives.’
27 Ιδου, εγω θελω επαγρυπνει επ' αυτους εις κακον και ουχι εις καλον? και παντες οι ανδρες του Ιουδα οι εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου θελουσι καταναλωθη εν μαχαιρα και εν πεινη, εωσου εκλειψωσιν.	27 Behold, I will be vigilant over them for harm, and not for good. And all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be consumed, by the sword and by famine, until they are thoroughly consumed.
28 Οι δε διασεσωσμενοι απο της μαχαιρας, ολιγοι τον αριθμον, θελουσιν επιστρεψει εκ γης Αιγυπτου εις γην Ιουδα? και παντες οι υπολοιποι του Ιουδα, οι απελθοντες εις την γην της Αιγυπτου δια να παροικησωσιν εκει, θελουσι γνωρισει τινος λογος θελει πληρωθη, ο εμος, η αυτων.	28 And a few men, who will flee from the sword, will return from the land of Egypt into the land of Judah. And all the remnant of Judah, who had entered into the land of Egypt so as to live there, will know whose word will be completed, mine or theirs.
29 Και τουτο θελει εισθαι σημειον εις σας, λεγει Κυριος, οτι εγω θελω σας τιμωρησει εν τω τοπω τουτω, δια να γνωρισητε οτι οι λογοι μου θελουσιν εξαπαντος πληρωθη εναντιον σας εις κακον?	29 And this will be a sign to you, says the Lord, that I will visit against you in this place, so that truly you may know that my words will be completed against you for harm.”
30 ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, εγω θελω παραδωσει τον Φαραω-ουαφρη, βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου, εις την χειρα των εχθρων αυτου και εις την χειρα των ζητουντων την ψυχην αυτου, καθως παρεδωκα τον Σεδεκιαν βασιλεα του Ιουδα εις την χειρα του Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, του εχθρου αυτου και ζητουντος την ψυχην αυτου.	30 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who are seeking his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah, the king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, his enemy and the one who was seeking his life.”
