Jeremiah 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:	1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ιερεμιαν περι της αβροχιας
2 Judah mourns, her gates are lifeless; Her people sink down in mourning: from Jerusalem ascends a cry of anguish.	2 επενθησεν η ιουδαια και αι πυλαι αυτης εκενωθησαν και εσκοτωθησαν επι της γης και η κραυγη της ιερουσαλημ ανεβη
3 The nobles send their servants for water, but when they come to the cisterns They find no water and return with empty jars. Ashamed, despairing, they cover their heads	3 και οι μεγιστανες αυτης απεστειλαν τους νεωτερους αυτων εφ' υδωρ ηλθοσαν επι τα φρεατα και ουχ ευροσαν υδωρ και απεστρεψαν τα αγγεια αυτων κενα
4 because of the stricken soil; Because there is no rain in the land the farmers are ashamed, they cover their heads.	4 και τα εργα της γης εξελιπεν οτι ουκ ην υετος ησχυνθησαν γεωργοι επεκαλυψαν την κεφαλην αυτων
5 Even the hind in the field deserts her offspring because there is no grass.	5 και ελαφοι εν αγρω ετεκον και εγκατελιπον οτι ουκ ην βοτανη
6 The wild asses stand on the bare heights, gasping for breath like jackals; Their eyes grow dim, because there is no vegetation to be seen.	6 ονοι αγριοι εστησαν επι ναπας ειλκυσαν ανεμον εξελιπον οι οφθαλμοι αυτων οτι ουκ ην χορτος απο λαου αδικιας
7 Even though our crimes bear witness against us, take action, O LORD, for the honor of your name-- Even though our rebellions are many, though we have sinned against you.	7 ει αι αμαρτιαι ημων αντεστησαν ημιν κυριε ποιησον ημιν ενεκεν σου οτι πολλαι αι αμαρτιαι ημων εναντιον σου οτι σοι ημαρτομεν
8 O Hope of Israel, O LORD, our savior in time of need! Why should you be a stranger in this land, like a traveler who has stopped but for a night?	8 υπομονη ισραηλ κυριε και σωζεις εν καιρω κακων ινα τι εγενηθης ωσει παροικος επι της γης και ως αυτοχθων εκκλινων εις καταλυμα
9 Why are you like a man dumbfounded, a champion who cannot save? You are in our midst, O LORD, your name we bear: do not forsake us!	9 μη εση ωσπερ ανθρωπος υπνων η ως ανηρ ου δυναμενος σωζειν και συ εν ημιν ει κυριε και το ονομα σου επικεκληται εφ' ημας μη επιλαθη ημων
10 Thus says the LORD of this people: They so love to wander that they do not spare their feet. The LORD has no pleasure in them; now he remembers their guilt, and will punish their sins.	10 ουτως λεγει κυριος τω λαω τουτω ηγαπησαν κινειν ποδας αυτων και ουκ εφεισαντο και ο θεος ουκ ευδοκησεν εν αυτοις νυν μνησθησεται των αδικιων αυτων
11 Then the LORD said to me: Do not intercede for this people.	11 και ειπεν κυριος προς με μη προσευχου περι του λαου τουτου εις αγαθα
12 If they fast, I will not listen to their supplication. If they offer holocausts or cereal offerings, I will not accept them. Rather, I will destroy them with the sword, famine, and pestilence.	12 οτι εαν νηστευσωσιν ουκ εισακουσομαι της δεησεως αυτων και εαν προσενεγκωσιν ολοκαυτωματα και θυσιας ουκ ευδοκησω εν αυτοις οτι εν μαχαιρα και εν λιμω και εν θανατω εγω συντελεσω αυτους
13 Ah! Lord GOD, I replied, it is the prophets who say to them, "You shall not see the sword; famine shall not befall you. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place."	13 και ειπα ω κυριε ιδου οι προφηται αυτων προφητευουσιν και λεγουσιν ουκ οψεσθε μαχαιραν ουδε λιμος εσται εν υμιν οτι αληθειαν και ειρηνην δωσω επι της γης και εν τω τοπω τουτω
14 Lies these prophets utter in my name, the LORD said to me. I did not send them; I gave them no command nor did I speak to them. Lying visions, foolish divination, dreams of their own imagination, they prophesy to you.	14 και ειπεν κυριος προς με ψευδη οι προφηται προφητευουσιν επι τω ονοματι μου ουκ απεστειλα αυτους και ουκ ενετειλαμην αυτοις και ουκ ελαλησα προς αυτους οτι ορασεις ψευδεις και μαντειας και οιωνισματα και προαιρεσεις καρδιας αυτων αυτοι προφητευουσιν υμιν
15 Therefore, thus says the LORD: Concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, though I did not send them; who say, "Sword and famine shall not befall this land": by the sword and famine shall these prophets meet their end.	15 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος περι των προφητων των προφητευοντων επι τω ονοματι μου ψευδη και εγω ουκ απεστειλα αυτους οι λεγουσιν μαχαιρα και λιμος ουκ εσται επι της γης ταυτης εν θανατω νοσερω αποθανουνται και εν λιμω συντελεσθησονται οι προφηται
16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out into the streets of Jerusalem by famine and the sword. No one shall bury them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour out upon them their own wickedness.	16 και ο λαος οις αυτοι προφητευουσιν αυτοις και εσονται ερριμμενοι εν ταις διοδοις ιερουσαλημ απο προσωπου μαχαιρας και του λιμου και ουκ εσται ο θαπτων αυτους και αι γυναικες αυτων και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων και εκχεω επ' αυτους τα κακα αυτων
17 Speak to them this word: Let my eyes stream with tears day and night, without rest, Over the great destruction which overwhelms the virgin daughter of my people, over her incurable wound.	17 και ερεις προς αυτους τον λογον τουτον καταγαγετε επ' οφθαλμους υμων δακρυα ημερας και νυκτος και μη διαλιπετωσαν οτι συντριμματι συνετριβη θυγατηρ λαου μου και πληγη οδυνηρα σφοδρα
18 If I walk out into the field, look! those slain by the sword; If I enter the city, look! those consumed by hunger. Even the prophet and the priest forage in a land they know not.	18 εαν εξελθω εις το πεδιον και ιδου τραυματιαι μαχαιρας και εαν εισελθω εις την πολιν και ιδου πονος λιμου οτι ιερευς και προφητης επορευθησαν εις γην ην ουκ ηδεισαν
19 Have you cast Judah off completely? Is Zion loathsome to you? Why have you struck us a blow that cannot be healed? We wait for peace, to no avail; for a time of healing, but terror comes instead.	19 μη αποδοκιμαζων απεδοκιμασας τον ιουδαν και απο σιων απεστη η ψυχη σου ινα τι επαισας ημας και ουκ εστιν ημιν ιασις υπεμειναμεν εις ειρηνην και ουκ ην αγαθα εις καιρον ιασεως και ιδου ταραχη
20 We recognize, O LORD, our wickedness, the guilt of our fathers; that we have sinned against you.	20 εγνωμεν κυριε αμαρτηματα ημων αδικιας πατερων ημων οτι ημαρτομεν εναντιον σου
21 For your name's sake spurn us not, disgrace not the throne of your glory; remember your covenant with us, and break it not.	21 κοπασον δια το ονομα σου μη απολεσης θρονον δοξης σου μνησθητι μη διασκεδασης την διαθηκην σου την μεθ' ημων
22 Among the nations' idols is there any that gives rain? Or can the mere heavens send showers? Is it not you alone, O LORD, our God, to whom we look? You alone have done all these things.	22 μη εστιν εν ειδωλοις των εθνων υετιζων και ει ο ουρανος δωσει πλησμονην αυτου ουχι συ ει αυτος και υπομενουμεν σε οτι συ εποιησας παντα ταυτα
