GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ο λογος, τον οποιον ελαλησε Κυριος κατα της Βαβυλωνος, κατα της γης των Χαλδαιων, δια Ιερεμιου του προφητου.1 The word that the Lord hath spoken against Babylon, and against the land of the Chaldeans in the hand of Jeremias the prophet.
2 Αναγγειλατε εν τοις εθνεσι και κηρυξατε και υψωσατε σημαιαν? κηρυξατε, μη κρυψητε? ειπατε, Εκυριευθη η Βαβυλων, κατησχυνθη ο Βηλ, συνετριβη ο Μερωδαχ? κατησχυνθησαν τα ειδωλα αυτης, συνετριβησαν τα βδελυγματα αυτης.2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish it, lift up a standard: proclaim, and conceal it not: say: Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is overthrown, their graven things are confounded, their idols are overthrown.
3 Διοτι απο βορρα αναβαινει εθνος εναντιον αυτης, το οποιον θελει καταστησει την γην αυτης ερημον, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο κατοικων εν αυτη? απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους θελουσι μετατοπισθη, θελουσι φυγει.3 For a nation is come up against her out of the north, which shall make her land desolate: and there shall be none to dwell therein, from man even to beast:: yea they are removed, and gone away.
4 Εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, λεγει Κυριος, θελουσιν ελθει οι υιοι Ισραηλ, αυτοι και οι υιοι Ιουδα ομου, βαδιζοντες και κλαιοντες? θελουσιν υπαγει και ζητησει Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων.4 In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together: going and weeping they shall make haste, and shall seek the Lord their God.
5 Θελουσιν ερωτησει περι της οδου της Σιων με τα προσωπα αυτων προς εκει, λεγοντες, Ελθετε και ας ενωθωμεν μετα του Κυριου εν διαθηκη αιωνιω, ητις δεν θελει λησμονηθη.5 They shall ask the way to Sion, their faces are hitherward. They shall come, and shall be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which shall never be forgotten.
6 Ο λαος μου εγεινε προβατα απολωλοτα? οι ποιμενες αυτων παρετρεψαν αυτους, περιεπλανησαν αυτους εις τα ορη? υπηγαν απο ορους εις βουνον, ελησμονησαν την μανδραν αυτων.6 My people have been a lost flock, their shepherds have caused them to go astray, and have made them wander in the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
7 Παντες οι ευρισκοντες αυτους κατετρωγον αυτους, και οι εχθροι αυτων ειπον, Δεν πταιομεν, διοτι ημαρτησαν εις Κυριον, την κατοικιαν της δικαιοσυνης? ναι, εις Κυριον, την ελπιδα των πατερων αυτων.7 All that found them, have devoured them: and their enemies said: We have not sinned in so doing: because they have sinned against the Lord the beauty of justice, and against the Lord the hope of their fathers.
8 Φυγετε εκ μεσου της Βαβυλωνος και εξελθετε εκ της γης των Χαλδαιων και γεινετε ως κριοι εμπροσθεν ποιμνιων.8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans: and be ye as kids at the head of the flock.
9 Διοτι ιδου, εγω θελω εγειρει και αναβιβασει επι Βαβυλωνα συναγωγην εθνων μεγαλων εκ γης βορρα, και θελουσι παραταχθη εναντιον αυτης? εκειθεν θελει αλωθη? τα βελη αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι ως εμπειρου ισχυρου? δεν θελουσιν επιστρεψει κενα.9 For behold I raise up, and will bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north: and they shall be prepared against her, and from thence she shall be taken: their arrows, like those of a mighty man, a destroyer, shall not return in vain.
10 Και η Χαλδαια θελει εισθαι λαφυρον? παντες οι λεηλατουντες αυτην θελουσι χορτασθη, λεγει Κυριος.10 And Chaldea shall be made a prey: all that waste her shall be filled, saith the Lord.
11 Επειδη ηυφραινεσθε και εκαυχαθε, φθορεις της κληρονομιας μου, επειδη εσκιρτατε ως δαμαλις επι χλοης και εχρεμετιζετε ως ρωμαλεοι ιπποι,11 Because you rejoice, and speak great things, pillaging my inheritance: because you are spread abroad as calves upon the grass, and have bellowed as bulls.
12 η μητηρ σας κατησχυνθη σφοδρα? η γεννητρια σας ενετραπη? ιδου, αυτη θελει εισθαι η εσχατη των εθνων, ερημος, γη ξηρα και αβατος.12 Your mother is confounded exceedingly, and she that bore you is made even with the dust: behold she shall be the last among the nations, a wilderness unpassable, and dry.
13 Εξ αιτιας της οργης του Κυριου δεν θελει κατοικηθη, αλλα θελει ερημωθη απασα? πας ο διαβαινων δια της Βαβυλωνος θελει εκθαμβηθη και συριξει επι πασαις ταις πληγαις αυτης.13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholly desolate: every one that shall pass by Babylon, shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 Παραταχθητε εναντιον της Βαβυλωνος κυκλω? παντες οι εντεινοντες τοξον, τοξευσατε κατ' αυτης, μη φειδεσθε βελων? διοτι ημαρτησεν εις Κυριον.14 Prepare yourselves against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow: fight against her, spare not arrows: because she hath sinned against the Lord.
15 Αλαλαξατε επ' αυτη κυκλω? παρεδωκεν εαυτην? επεσαν τα θεμελια αυτης, κατηδαφισθησαν τα τειχη αυτης? διοτι τουτο ειναι η εκδικησις του Κυριου? εκδικηθητε αυτην? καθως αυτη εκαμε, καμετε εις αυτην.15 Shout against her, she hath every where given her hand, her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance upon her: as she hath done, so do to her.
16 Εκκοψατε απο Βαβυλωνος τον σπειροντα και τον κρατουντα δρεπανον εν καιρω θερισμου? απο προσωπου της εξολοθρευτικης μαχαιρας θελουσιν επιστρεψει εκαστος εις τον λαον αυτου, και θελουσι φυγει εκαστος εις την γην αυτου.16 Destroy the sower out of Babylon, and him that holdeth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the sword of the dove every man shall return to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
17 Ο Ισραηλ ειναι προβατον πλανωμενον? λεοντες εκυνηγησαν αυτο? πρωτος ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας κατεφαγεν αυτον? και υστερον ουτος ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ, ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, κατεσυντριψε τα οστα αυτου.17 Israel is a scattered flock, the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him: and last this Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ιδου, εγω θελω τιμωρησει τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος και την γην αυτου, καθως ετιμωρησα τον βασιλεα της Ασσυριας.18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, as I have visited the king of Assyria.
19 Και θελω αποκαταστησει τον Ισραηλ εν τη κατοικια αυτου, και θελει βοσκεσθαι τον Καρμηλον και την Βασαν, και η ψυχη αυτου θελει χορτασθη επι το ορος Εφραιμ και Γαλααδ.19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation: and he shall feed on Carmel, and Bason, and his soul shall be satisfied in mount Ephraim, and Galaad.
20 Εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, λεγει Κυριος, η ανομια του Ισραηλ θελει ζητηθη και δεν θελει υπαρχει, και αι αμαρτιαι του Ιουδα και δεν θελουσιν ευρεθη? διοτι θελω συγχωρησει οσους αφησω υπολοιπον.20 In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sin of Juda, and there shall none be found: for I will be merciful to them, whom I shall leave.
21 Αναβα επι την γην των καταδυναστων, επ' αυτην και επι τους κατοικους της Φεκωδ? αφανισον και εξολοθρευσον κατοπιν αυτων, λεγει Κυριος, και καμε κατα παντα οσα προσεταξα εις σε.21 Go up against the land of the rulers, and punish the inhabitants thereof, waste, and destroy all behind them, saith the Lord: and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Φωνη πολεμου εν τη γη και συντριμμα μεγα.22 A noise of war in the land, and a great destruction.
23 Πως συνεθλασθη και συνετριβη η σφυρα πασης της γης? πως εγεινεν η Βαβυλων εις θαμβος μεταξυ των εθνων.23 How is the hammer of the whole earth broken, and destroyed! how is Babylon turned into a desert among the nations!
24 Εστησα παγιδα εις σε, μαλιστα και επιασθης, Βαβυλων, και συ δεν εγνωρισας? ευρεθης μαλιστα και συνεληφθης, διοτι εις τον Κυριον αντεσταθης.24 I have caused thee to fall into a snare, and thou art taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware of it: thou art found and caught, because thou hast provoked the Lord.
25 Ο Κυριος ηνοιξε την οπλοθηκην αυτου και εξηγαγε το οπλα της οργης αυτου? διοτι το εργον τουτο εχει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων εν τη γη των Χαλδαιων.25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his wrath : for the Lord the God of hosts hath a work to be done in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Ελθετε επ' αυτην απο των περατων? ανοιξατε τας αποθηκας αυτης? καταστησατε αυτην ως σωρους και εξολοθρευσατε αυτην? ας μη μεινη εξ αυτης υπολοιπον.26 Come ye against her from the uttermost borders: open that they may go forth that shall tread her down: take the stones out of the way, and make heaps, and destroy her: and let nothing of her be left.
27 Σφαξατε παντας τους μοσχους αυτης? ας καταβωσιν εις σφαγην? ουαι εις αυτους? διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα αυτων, ο καιρος της επισκεψεως αυτων.27 Destroy all her valiant men, let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Φωνη φευγοντων και διασωζομενων απο της γης Βαβυλωνος, δια να αναγγειλη εν Σιων την εκδικησιν Κυριου του Θεου ημων, την εκδικησιν του ναου αυτου.28 The voice of them that flee, and of them that have escaped out of the land of Babylon: to declare in Sion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his temple.
29 Συγκαλεσατε τους τοξοτας επι Βαβυλωνα? παντες οι εντεινοντες τοξον, στρατοπεδευσατε κατ' αυτης κυκλω? μηδεις εξ αυτης ας μη διασωθη? ανταποδοτε εις αυτην κατα το εργον αυτης? κατα παντα οσα εκαμε, καμετε εις αυτην? διοτι υπερηφανευθη κατα του Κυριου, κατα του Αγιου του Ισραηλ.29 Declare to many against Babylon, to all that bend the bow: stand together against her round about, and let nose escape; pay her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do ye to her: for she hath lifted up herself against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Δια τουτο οι νεοι αυτης θελουσι πεσει εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης, και παντες οι ανδρες αυτης οι πολεμισται θελουσιν απολεσθη κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν, λεγει Κυριος.30 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets: and all her men of war shall hold their peace in that day, saith the Lord.
31 Ιδου, εγω ειμαι εναντιον σου, ω επηρμενη, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων? διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα σου, ο καιρος της επισκεψεως σου.31 Behold I come against thee, O proud one, saith the Lord the God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time of thy visitation.
32 Και ο επηρμενος θελει προσκοψει και πεσει, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο αναστησων αυτον? και θελω αναψει πυρ εν ταις πολεσιν αυτου και ο θελει καταφαγει παντα τα περιξ αυτου.32 And the proud one shall fall, he shall fall down, and there shall be none to lift him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? οι υιοι Ισραηλ και οι υιοι Ιουδα κατεδυναστευθησαν ομου? και παντες οι αιχμαλωτισαντες αυτους κατεκρατησαν αυτους? ηρνηθησαν να απολυσωσιν αυτους.33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The children of Israel, and the children of Juda are oppressed together: all that have taken them captives, hold them fast, they will not let them go.
34 Πλην ο Λυτρωτης αυτων ειναι Ισχυρος? Κυριος των δυναμεων το ονομα αυτου? θελει εξαπαντος διαδικασει την δικην αυτων, δια να αναπαυση την γην και να ταραξη τους κατοικους της Βαβυλωνος.34 Their redeemer is strong, the Lord of hosts is his name : he will defend their cause in judgment, to terrify the land, and to disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Μαχαιρα επι τους Χαλδαιους, λεγει Κυριος, και επι τους κατοικους της Βαβυλωνος και επι τους μεγιστανας αυτης και επι τους σοφους αυτης.35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
36 Μαχαιρα επι τους ψευδοπροφητας και θελουσι παραφρονησει? μαχαιρα επι τους ισχυρους αυτης και θελουσι τρομαξει.36 A sword upon her diviners, and they shall be foolish: a sword upon her valiant ones, and they shall be dismayed.
37 Μαχαιρα επι τους ιππους αυτων και επι τας αμαξας αυτων και επι παντα τον συμμικτον λαον τον εν μεσω αυτης, και θελουσιν εισθαι ως γυναικες? μαχαιρα επι τους θησαυρους αυτης και θελουσι διαρπαχθη.37 A sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the people that are in the midst of her: and they shall become as women: a sword upon her treasures, and they shall be made a spoil.
38 Ξηρασια επι τα υδατα αυτης, και θελουσι ξηρανθη? διοτι ειναι γη των γλυπτων και εμωρανθησαν εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων.38 A drought upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: because it is a land of idols, and they glory in monstrous things.
39 Δια τουτο θηρια και αιλουροι θελουσι κατοικησει εκει και στρουθοκαμηλοι θελουσι κατοικησει εν αυτη και δεν θελει κατοικηθη πλεον εις τον αιωνα? και ουδεις θελει κατασκηνωσει εν αυτη εις γενεαν και γενεαν.39 Therefore shall dragons dwell there with the fig fauns: and ostriches shall dwell therein, and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be built up from generation to generation.
40 Καθως κατεστρεψεν ο Θεος τα Σοδομα και τα Γομορρα και τα πλησιοχωρα αυτων, λεγει Κυριος, ουτως ανθρωπος δεν θελει κατοικησει εκει ουδε υιος ανθρωπου θελει παροικησει εν αυτη.40 As the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and their neighbour cities, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the son of man inhabit it.
41 Ιδου, λαος θελει ελθει απο βορρα και εθνος μεγα, και βασιλεις πολλοι θελουσιν εγερθη απο των εσχατων της γης.41 Behold a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall rise from the ends of the earth.
42 Τοξον και λογχην θελουσι κρατει? ειναι σκληροι και ανιλεοι? η φωνη αυτων ηχει ως θαλασσα, και επιβαινουσιν επι ιππους, παρατεταγμενοι ως ανδρες εις πολεμον, εναντιον σου, θυγατηρ Βαβυλωνος.42 They shall take the bow and the shield: they are cruel and unmerciful: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses: like a man prepared for battle against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Ηκουσεν ο βαιλευς της Βαβυλωνος την φημην αυτων και αι χειρες αυτου παρελυθησαν? στενοχωρια συνελαβεν αυτον, ωδινες ως τικτουσης.43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, pangs as a, woman in labour.
44 Ιδου, θελει αναβη ως λεων απο του φρυαγματος του Ιορδανου εναντιον της κατοικιας του δυνατου? αλλ' εγω ταχεως θελω εκδιωξει αυτους απ' αυτης? και οστις ειναι ο εκλεκτος σου, τουτον θελω καταστησει επ' αυτην? διοτι τις ομοιος μου; και τις θελει αντισταθη εις εμε; και τις ειναι ο ποιμην εκεινος, οστις θελει σταθη κατα προσωπον μου;44 Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall bear up against me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
45 Δια τουτο ακουσατε την βουλην του Κυριου, την οποιαν εβουλευθη κατα της Βαβυλωνος, και τους λογισμους αυτου, τους οποιους ελογισθη κατα της γης των Χαλδαιων? εξαπαντος και τα ελαχιστα του ποιμνιου θελουσι κατασυρει αυτους? εξαπαντος η κατοικια αυτων θελει ερημωθη μετ' αυτων.45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken against Babylon: and his thoughts which he hath thought against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the little ones of the flocks shall pull them down, of a truth their habitation shall be destroyed with them.
46 Απο του ηχου της αλωσεως της Βαβυλωνος εσεισθη η γη, και η κραυγη ηκουσθη εν τοις εθνεσι.46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard amongst the nations.
