Baruch 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Now these are the words of the scroll which Baruch, son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, son of Zedekiah, son of Hasadiah, son of Hilkiah, wrote in Babylon,	1 και ουτοι οι λογοι του βιβλιου ους εγραψεν βαρουχ υιος νηριου υιου μαασαιου υιου σεδεκιου υιου ασαδιου υιου χελκιου εν βαβυλωνι
2 in the fifth year (on the seventh day of the month, at the time when the Chaldeans took Jerusalem and burnt it with fire).	2 εν τω ετει τω πεμπτω εν εβδομη του μηνος εν τω καιρω ω ελαβον οι χαλδαιοι την ιερουσαλημ και ενεπρησαν αυτην εν πυρι
3 And Baruch read the words of this scroll for Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, to hear it, as well as all the people who came to the reading:	3 και ανεγνω βαρουχ τους λογους του βιβλιου τουτου εν ωσιν ιεχονιου υιου ιωακιμ βασιλεως ιουδα και εν ωσι παντος του λαου των ερχομενων προς την βιβλον
4 the nobles, the kings' sons, the elders, and the whole people, small and great alike--all who lived in Babylon by the river Sud.	4 και εν ωσιν των δυνατων και υιων των βασιλεων και εν ωσι των πρεσβυτερων και εν ωσι παντος του λαου απο μικρου εως μεγαλου παντων των κατοικουντων εν βαβυλωνι επι ποταμου σουδ
5 They wept and fasted and prayed before the LORD,	5 και εκλαιον και ενηστευον και ηυχοντο εναντιον κυριου
6 and collected such funds as each could furnish.	6 και συνηγαγον αργυριον καθα εκαστου ηδυνατο η χειρ
7 These they sent to Jerusalem, to Jehoiakim, son of Hilkiah, son of Shallum, the priest, and to the priests and the whole people who were with him in Jerusalem.	7 και απεστειλαν εις ιερουσαλημ προς ιωακιμ υιον χελκιου υιου σαλωμ τον ιερεα και προς τους ιερεις και προς παντα τον λαον τους ευρεθεντας μετ' αυτου εν ιερουσαλημ
8 (This was when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord that had been removed from the temple, to restore them to the land of Judah, on the tenth of Sivan. These silver vessels Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah, had had made	8 εν τω λαβειν αυτον τα σκευη οικου κυριου τα εξενεχθεντα εκ του ναου αποστρεψαι εις γην ιουδα τη δεκατη του σιουαν σκευη αργυρα α εποιησεν σεδεκιας υιος ιωσια βασιλευς ιουδα
9 after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, carried off Jeconiah, and the princes, and the skilled workers, and the nobles, and the people of the land from Jerusalem, as captives, and brought them to Babylon.)	9 μετα το αποικισαι ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεα βαβυλωνος τον ιεχονιαν και τους αρχοντας και τους δεσμωτας και τους δυνατους και τον λαον της γης απο ιερουσαλημ και ηγαγεν αυτον εις βαβυλωνα
10 Their message was: "We send you funds, with which you are to procure holocausts, sin offerings, and frankincense, and to prepare cereal offerings; offer these on the altar of the LORD our God,	10 και ειπαν ιδου απεστειλαμεν προς υμας αργυριον και αγορασατε του αργυριου ολοκαυτωματα και περι αμαρτιας και λιβανον και ποιησατε μαννα και ανοισατε επι το θυσιαστηριον κυριου θεου ημων
11 and pray for the life of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that of Belshazzar, his son, that their lifetimes may equal the duration of the heavens above the earth;	11 και προσευξασθε περι της ζωης ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και εις ζωην βαλτασαρ υιου αυτου ινα ωσιν αι ημεραι αυτων ως αι ημεραι του ουρανου επι της γης
12 and that the LORD may give us strength, and light to our eyes, that we may live under the protective shadow of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that of Belshazzar, his son, and serve them long, finding favor in their sight.	12 και δωσει κυριος ισχυν ημιν και φωτισει τους οφθαλμους ημων και ζησομεθα υπο την σκιαν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και υπο την σκιαν βαλτασαρ υιου αυτου και δουλευσομεν αυτοις ημερας πολλας και ευρησομεν χαριν εναντιον αυτων
13 "Pray for us also to the LORD, our God; for we have sinned against the LORD, our God, and the wrath and anger of the LORD have not yet been withdrawn from us at the present day.	13 και προσευξασθε περι ημων προς κυριον τον θεον ημων οτι ημαρτομεν τω κυριω θεω ημων και ουκ απεστρεψεν ο θυμος κυριου και η οργη αυτου αφ' ημων εως της ημερας ταυτης
14 And read out publicly this scroll which we send you, in the house of the LORD, on the feast day and during the days of assembly:	14 και αναγνωσεσθε το βιβλιον τουτο ο απεστειλαμεν προς υμας εξαγορευσαι εν οικω κυριου εν ημερα εορτης και εν ημεραις καιρου
15 "Justice is with the LORD, our God; and we today are flushed with shame, we men of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem,	15 και ερειτε τω κυριω θεω ημων η δικαιοσυνη ημιν δε αισχυνη των προσωπων ως η ημερα αυτη ανθρωπω ιουδα και τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ
16 that we, with our kings and rulers and priests and prophets, and with our fathers,	16 και τοις βασιλευσιν ημων και τοις αρχουσιν ημων και τοις ιερευσιν ημων και τοις προφηταις ημων και τοις πατρασιν ημων
17 have sinned in the LORD'S sight	17 ων ημαρτομεν εναντι κυριου
18 and disobeyed him. We have neither heeded the voice of the LORD, our God, nor followed the precepts which the LORD set before us.	18 και ηπειθησαμεν αυτω και ουκ ηκουσαμεν της φωνης κυριου θεου ημων πορευεσθαι τοις προσταγμασιν κυριου οις εδωκεν κατα προσωπον ημων
19 From the time the LORD led our fathers out of the land of Egypt until the present day, we have been disobedient to the LORD, our God, and only too ready to disregard his voice.	19 απο της ημερας ης εξηγαγεν κυριος τους πατερας ημων εκ γης αιγυπτου και εως της ημερας ταυτης ημεθα απειθουντες προς κυριον θεον ημων και εσχεδιαζομεν προς το μη ακουειν της φωνης αυτου
20 And the evils and the curse which the LORD enjoined upon Moses, his servant, at the time he led our fathers forth from the land of Egypt to give us the land flowing with milk and honey, cling to us even today.	20 και εκολληθη εις ημας τα κακα και η αρα ην συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση παιδι αυτου εν ημερα η εξηγαγεν τους πατερας ημων εκ γης αιγυπτου δουναι ημιν γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι ως η ημερα αυτη
21 For we did not heed the voice of the LORD, our God, in all the words of the prophets whom he sent us,	21 και ουκ ηκουσαμεν της φωνης κυριου του θεου ημων κατα παντας τους λογους των προφητων ων απεστειλεν προς ημας
22 but each one of us went off after the devices of our own wicked hearts, served other gods, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, our God.	22 και ωχομεθα εκαστος εν διανοια καρδιας αυτου της πονηρας εργαζεσθαι θεοις ετεροις ποιησαι τα κακα κατ' οφθαλμους κυριου θεου ημων
