Jeremiah 23

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD.	1 ω οι ποιμενες οι διασκορπιζοντες και απολλυοντες τα προβατα της νομης μου
2 Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my sheep and driven them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil deeds.	2 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος επι τους ποιμαινοντας τον λαον μου υμεις διεσκορπισατε τα προβατα μου και εξωσατε αυτα και ουκ επεσκεψασθε αυτα ιδου εγω εκδικω εφ' υμας κατα τα πονηρα επιτηδευματα υμων
3 I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply.	3 και εγω εισδεξομαι τους καταλοιπους του λαου μου απο πασης της γης ου εξωσα αυτους εκει και καταστησω αυτους εις την νομην αυτων και αυξηθησονται και πληθυνθησονται
4 I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble; and none shall be missing, says the LORD.	4 και αναστησω αυτοις ποιμενας οι ποιμανουσιν αυτους και ου φοβηθησονται ετι ουδε πτοηθησονται λεγει κυριος
5 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David; As king he shall reign and govern wisely, he shall do what is just and right in the land.	5 ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και αναστησω τω δαυιδ ανατολην δικαιαν και βασιλευσει βασιλευς και συνησει και ποιησει κριμα και δικαιοσυνην επι της γης
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is the name they give him: "The LORD our justice."	6 εν ταις ημεραις αυτου σωθησεται ιουδας και ισραηλ κατασκηνωσει πεποιθως και τουτο το ονομα αυτου ο καλεσει αυτον κυριος ιωσεδεκ
7 Therefore, the days will come, says the LORD, when they shall no longer say, "As the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt";	7 δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται λεγει κυριος και ουκ ερουσιν ετι ζη κυριος ος ανηγαγεν τον οικον ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου
8 but rather, "As the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Israel up from the land of the north"--and from all the lands to which I banished them; they shall again live on their own land.	8 αλλα ζη κυριος ος συνηγαγεν απαν το σπερμα ισραηλ απο γης βορρα και απο πασων των χωρων ου εξωσεν αυτους εκει και απεκατεστησεν αυτους εις την γην αυτων
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken, my bones all tremble; I am like a man who is drunk, overcome by wine, Because of the LORD, because of his holy words.	9 εν τοις προφηταις συνετριβη η καρδια μου εν εμοι εσαλευθη παντα τα οστα μου εγενηθην ως ανηρ συντετριμμενος και ως ανθρωπος συνεχομενος απο οινου απο προσωπου κυριου και απο προσωπου ευπρεπειας δοξης αυτου
10 With adulterers the land is filled; on their account the land mourns, the pasture ranges are seared. Theirs is an evil course, theirs is unjust power.	10 οτι απο προσωπου τουτων επενθησεν η γη εξηρανθησαν αι νομαι της ερημου και εγενετο ο δρομος αυτων πονηρος και η ισχυς αυτων ουχ ουτως
11 Both prophet and priest are godless! In my very house I find their wickedness, says the LORD.	11 οτι ιερευς και προφητης εμολυνθησαν και εν τω οικω μου ειδον πονηριας αυτων
12 Hence their way shall become for them slippery ground. In the darkness they shall lose their footing, and fall headlong; Evil I will bring upon them: the year of their punishment, says the LORD.	12 δια τουτο γενεσθω η οδος αυτων αυτοις εις ολισθημα εν γνοφω και υποσκελισθησονται και πεσουνται εν αυτη διοτι επαξω επ' αυτους κακα εν ενιαυτω επισκεψεως αυτων φησιν κυριος
13 Among Samaria's prophets I saw unseemly deeds: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray.	13 και εν τοις προφηταις σαμαρειας ειδον ανομηματα επροφητευσαν δια της βααλ και επλανησαν τον λαον μου ισραηλ
14 But among Jerusalem's prophets I saw deeds still more shocking: Adultery, living in lies, siding with the wicked, so that no one turns from evil; To me they are all like Sodom, its citizens like Gomorrah.	14 και εν τοις προφηταις ιερουσαλημ εωρακα φρικτα μοιχωμενους και πορευομενους εν ψευδεσι και αντιλαμβανομενους χειρων πονηρων του μη αποστραφηναι εκαστον απο της οδου αυτου της πονηρας εγενηθησαν μοι παντες ως σοδομα και οι κατοικουντες αυτην ωσπερ γομορρα
15 Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts against the prophets: Behold, I will give them wormwood to eat, and poison to drink; For from Jerusalem's prophets ungodliness has gone forth into the whole land.	15 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω ψωμιω αυτους οδυνην και ποτιω αυτους υδωρ πικρον οτι απο των προφητων ιερουσαλημ εξηλθεν μολυσμος παση τη γη
16 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Listen not to the words of your prophets, who fill you with emptiness; Visions of their own fancy they speak, not from the mouth of the LORD.	16 ουτως λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ μη ακουετε τους λογους των προφητων οτι ματαιουσιν εαυτοις ορασιν απο καρδιας αυτων λαλουσιν και ουκ απο στοματος κυριου
17 They say to those who despise the word of the LORD, "Peace shall be yours"; And to everyone who walks in hardness of heart, "No evil shall overtake you."	17 λεγουσιν τοις απωθουμενοις τον λογον κυριου ειρηνη εσται υμιν και πασιν τοις πορευομενοις τοις θελημασιν αυτων παντι τω πορευομενω πλανη καρδιας αυτου ειπαν ουχ ηξει επι σε κακα
18 Now, who has stood in the council of the LORD, to see him and to hear his word? Who has heeded his word, so as to announce it?	18 οτι τις εστη εν υποστηματι κυριου και ειδεν τον λογον αυτου τις ενωτισατο και ηκουσεν
19 See, the storm of the LORD! His wrath breaks forth In a whirling storm that bursts upon the heads of the wicked.	19 ιδου σεισμος παρα κυριου και οργη εκπορευεται εις συσσεισμον συστρεφομενη επι τους ασεβεις ηξει
20 The anger of the LORD shall not abate until he has done and fulfilled what he has determined in his heart. When the time comes, you shall fully understand.	20 και ουκετι αποστρεψει ο θυμος κυριου εως αν ποιηση αυτο και εως αν αναστηση αυτο απο εγχειρηματος καρδιας αυτου επ' εσχατου των ημερων νοησουσιν αυτα
21 I did not send these prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.	21 ουκ απεστελλον τους προφητας και αυτοι ετρεχον ουκ ελαλησα προς αυτους και αυτοι επροφητευον
22 Had they stood in my council, and did they but proclaim to my people my words, They would have brought them back from evil ways and from their wicked deeds.	22 και ει εστησαν εν τη υποστασει μου και εισηκουσαν των λογων μου και τον λαον μου αν απεστρεφον αυτους απο των πονηρων επιτηδευματων αυτων
23 Am I a God near at hand only, says the LORD, and not a God far off?	23 θεος εγγιζων εγω ειμι λεγει κυριος και ουχι θεος πορρωθεν
24 Can a man hide in secret without my seeing him? says the LORD. Do I not fill both heaven and earth? says the LORD.	24 ει κρυβησεται ανθρωπος εν κρυφαιοις και εγω ουκ οψομαι αυτον μη ουχι τον ουρανον και την γην εγω πληρω λεγει κυριος
25 I have heard the prophets who prophesy lies in my name say, "I had a dream! I had a dream!"	25 ηκουσα α λαλουσιν οι προφηται α προφητευουσιν επι τω ονοματι μου ψευδη λεγοντες ηνυπνιασαμην ενυπνιον
26 How long will this continue? Is my name in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy lies and their own deceitful fancies?	26 εως ποτε εσται εν καρδια των προφητων των προφητευοντων ψευδη και εν τω προφητευειν αυτους τα θεληματα καρδιας αυτων
27 By their dreams which they recount to each other, they think to make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.	27 των λογιζομενων του επιλαθεσθαι του νομου μου εν τοις ενυπνιοις αυτων α διηγουντο εκαστος τω πλησιον αυτου καθαπερ επελαθοντο οι πατερες αυτων του ονοματος μου εν τη βααλ
28 Let the prophet who has a dream recount his dream; let him who has my word speak my word truthfully! What has straw to do with the wheat? says the LORD.	28 ο προφητης εν ω το ενυπνιον εστιν διηγησασθω το ενυπνιον αυτου και εν ω ο λογος μου προς αυτον διηγησασθω τον λογον μου επ' αληθειας τι το αχυρον προς τον σιτον ουτως οι λογοι μου λεγει κυριος
29 Is not my word like fire, says the LORD, like a hammer shattering rocks?	29 ουχι οι λογοι μου ωσπερ πυρ φλεγον λεγει κυριος και ως πελυξ κοπτων πετραν
30 Therefore I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who steal my words from each other.	30 δια τουτο ιδου εγω προς τους προφητας λεγει κυριος ο θεος τους κλεπτοντας τους λογους μου εκαστος παρα του πλησιον αυτου
31 Yes, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who borrow speeches to pronounce oracles.	31 ιδου εγω προς τους προφητας τους εκβαλλοντας προφητειας γλωσσης και νυσταζοντας νυσταγμον εαυτων
32 Yes, I am against the prophets who prophesy lying dreams, says the LORD, and who lead my people astray by recounting their lies and by their empty boasting. From me they have no mission or command, and they do this people no good at all, says the LORD.	32 ιδου εγω προς τους προφητας τους προφητευοντας ενυπνια ψευδη και διηγουντο αυτα και επλανησαν τον λαον μου εν τοις ψευδεσιν αυτων και εν τοις πλανοις αυτων και εγω ουκ απεστειλα αυτους και ουκ ενετειλαμην αυτοις και ωφελειαν ουκ ωφελησουσιν τον λαον τουτον
33 And when this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, "What is the burden of the LORD?" you shall answer, "You are the burden, and I cast you off, says the LORD."	33 και εαν ερωτησωσι σε ο λαος ουτος η ιερευς η προφητης λεγων τι το λημμα κυριου και ερεις αυτοις υμεις εστε το λημμα και ραξω υμας λεγει κυριος
34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else mentions "the burden of the LORD," I will punish that man and his house.	34 και ο προφητης και ο ιερευς και ο λαος οι αν ειπωσιν λημμα κυριου και εκδικησω τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και τον οικον αυτου
35 Thus you shall ask, when speaking to one another, "What answer did the LORD give?" or, "What did the LORD say?"	35 οτι ουτως ερειτε εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου και εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου τι απεκριθη κυριος και τι ελαλησεν κυριος
36 But the burden of the LORD you shall mention no more. For each man his own word becomes the burden so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God.	36 και λημμα κυριου μη ονομαζετε ετι οτι το λημμα τω ανθρωπω εσται ο λογος αυτου
37 Thus shall you ask the prophet, "What answer did the LORD give?" or, "What did the LORD say?"	37 και δια τι ελαλησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων
38 But if you ask about "the burden of the LORD," then thus says the LORD: Because you use this phrase, "the burden of the LORD," though I forbade you to use it,	38 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ανθ' ων ειπατε τον λογον τουτον λημμα κυριου και απεστειλα προς υμας λεγων ουκ ερειτε λημμα κυριου
39 therefore I will lift you on high and cast you from my presence, you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers.	39 δια τουτο ιδου εγω λαμβανω και ρασσω υμας και την πολιν ην εδωκα υμιν και τοις πατρασιν υμων
40 And I will bring upon you eternal reproach, eternal, unforgettable shame.	40 και δωσω εφ' υμας ονειδισμον αιωνιον και ατιμιαν αιωνιον ητις ουκ επιλησθησεται
