Jeremiah 23

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 'Disaster for the shepherds who lose and scatter the sheep of my pasture, Yahweh declares.	1 ω οι ποιμενες οι διασκορπιζοντες και απολλυοντες τα προβατα της νομης μου
2 This, therefore, is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says about the shepherds who shepherd my people,"You have scattered my flock, you have driven them away and have not taken care of them. Right, I shal takecare of you for your misdeeds, Yahweh declares!	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 But the remnant of my flock I myself shal gather from all the countries where I have driven them, andbring them back to their folds; they will be fruitful and increase in numbers.	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 For them I shall raise up shepherds to shepherd them and pasture them. No fear, no terror for themany more; not one shal be lost, Yahweh declares!	4 και αναστησω αυτοις ποιμενας οι ποιμανουσιν αυτους και ου φοβηθησονται ετι ουδε πτοηθησονται λεγει κυριος
5 Look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shal raise an upright Branch for David; he willreign as king and be wise, doing what is just and upright in the country.	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 wil triumph and Israel live in safety. And this is the name he wil be called, 'Yahweh-is-our-Saving-Justice.' "	6 εν ταις ημεραις αυτου σωθησεται ιουδας και ισραηλ κατασκηνωσει πεποιθως και τουτο το ονομα αυτου ο καλεσει αυτον κυριος ιωσεδεκ
7 'So, look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when people wil no longer say, "As Yahweh liveswho brought the Israelites out 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, "As Yahweh lives who led back and brought home the offspring of the House of Israel from theland of the north and all the countries to which he had driven them, to live on their own soil." '	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 On the prophets. My heart is broken within me, I tremble in al my bones; I am like a drunken man, likea man overcome with wine, because of Yahweh and 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 'For the country is ful of adulterers; yes, because of a curse, the country is in mourning and thepasturage in the desert has dried up; they are prompt to do wrong, make no effort to do right.	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 Yes, even prophet and priest are godless, I have detected their wickedness in my own House,Yahweh declares.	11 οτι ιερευς και προφητης εμολυνθησαν και εν τω οικω μου ειδον πονηριας αυτων
12 Because of this, their way wil prove treacherous going for them; in the darkness where they aredriven, there they wil fall. For I shal bring disaster on them, when the year for punishing them comes, Yahwehdeclares.	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 'In the prophets of Samaria I have seen insanity: they prophesied in the name of Baal and led mypeople Israel astray.	13 και εν τοις προφηταις σαμαρειας ειδον ανομηματα επροφητευσαν δια της βααλ και επλανησαν τον λαον μου ισραηλ
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: adultery, persistent lying, suchabetting of the wicked that no one renounces his wickedness. To me they are al like Sodom and its inhabitantsare 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 So this is what Yahweh Sabaoth says about the prophets, "Now I shal give them wormwood to eatand make them drink poisoned water, since from the prophets of Jerusalem godlessness has spread throughoutthe 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 'Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "Do not listen to what those prophets prophesy to you; they are deludingyou, they retail visions of their own, and not what comes from Yahweh's mouth.	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 To those who despise me, they keep saying: Yahweh has spoken: you wil have peace! and to al whofol ow their own stubborn inclinations: No disaster wil touch 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 But who has been present in Yahweh's council and seen, and heard his word? Who has paidattention to his word and listened to it?	18 οτι τις εστη εν υποστηματι κυριου και ειδεν τον λογον αυτου τις ενωτισατο και ηκουσεν
19 Look, Yahweh's hurricane, his wrath, bursts out, a fearsome hurricane, to burst on the heads of thewicked;	19 ιδου σεισμος παρα κυριου και οργη εκπορευεται εις συσσεισμον συστρεφομενη επι τους ασεβεις ηξει
20 Yahweh's anger wil not withdraw until he has performed, has carried out, what he has in mind. In thefinal days, you wil understand this clearly,	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 been present in my council, they could have proclaimed my words to my people and turnedthem from their evil way and from the wickedness of their 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 when near, Yahweh demands, and not a God when far away?	23 θεος εγγιζων εγω ειμι λεγει κυριος και ουχι θεος πορρωθεν
24 Can anyone hide somewhere secret without my seeing him? Yahweh demands. Do I not fil heavenand earth? Yahweh demands.	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 what the prophets say who make their lying prophecies in my name. "I have had adream," they say, "I have had a dream!"	25 ηκουσα α λαλουσιν οι προφηται α προφητευουσιν επι τω ονοματι μου ψευδη λεγοντες ηνυπνιασαμην ενυπνιον
26 How long are there to be those among the prophets who prophesy lies and are in fact prophets oftheir own delusions?	26 εως ποτε εσται εν καρδια των προφητων των προφητευοντων ψευδη και εν τω προφητευειν αυτους τα θεληματα καρδιας αυτων
27 They are doing their best, by means of the dreams that they keep tel ing each other, to make mypeople forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name in favour of 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 had a dream tel it for a dream! And let him who receives a word from me,deliver my word accurately! 'What have straw and wheat in common? Yahweh demands.	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 my word not like fire, Yahweh demands, is it not like a hammer shattering a rock?	29 ουχι οι λογοι μου ωσπερ πυρ φλεγον λεγει κυριος και ως πελυξ κοπτων πετραν
30 'So, then, I have a quarrel with the prophets, Yahweh declares, that steal my words from one another.	30 δια τουτο ιδου εγω προς τους προφητας λεγει κυριος ο θεος τους κλεπτοντας τους λογους μου εκαστος παρα του πλησιον αυτου
31 I have a quarrel with the prophets, Yahweh declares, who wag their tongues to utter prophecies.	31 ιδου εγω προς τους προφητας τους εκβαλλοντας προφητειας γλωσσης και νυσταζοντας νυσταγμον εαυτων
32 I have a quarrel with the prophets who make prophecies out of lying dreams, Yahweh declares, whorecount them, and lead my people astray by their lies and their bragging. I certainly never sent them orcommissioned them, and they serve no good purpose for this people, Yahweh declares.	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 Yahweh's burden?" you mustanswer, "You are the burden, and I shal get rid of you, Yahweh declares!"	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 'As for the prophet, the priest, or anyone else, who says, "Yahweh's burden", I shall punish that man,and his household too.	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 This is what you must say to one another, among yourselves, "What answer has Yahweh given?" or"What has Yahweh said?"	35 οτι ουτως ερειτε εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου και εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου τι απεκριθη κυριος και τι ελαλησεν κυριος
36 But stop using the expression "Yahweh's burden", for what each man says will be his ownresponsibility. And you twist the words of the living God, of Yahweh Sabaoth, our God.	36 και λημμα κυριου μη ονομαζετε ετι οτι το λημμα τω ανθρωπω εσται ο λογος αυτου
37 This is the way to speak to a prophet, "What answer has Yahweh given?" or "What has Yahwehsaid?"	37 και δια τι ελαλησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων
38 But if you say, "Yahweh's burden", then Yahweh says this, "Since you use the expression 'Yahweh'sburden', when I have warned you to stop saying, 'Yahweh's burden',	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 believe me, I shal pick you up and fling you from my presence, you and the city I gave to you and toyour ancestors.	39 δια τουτο ιδου εγω λαμβανω και ρασσω υμας και την πολιν ην εδωκα υμιν και τοις πατρασιν υμων
40 I shal bring down everlasting shame on you, everlasting and unforgettable disgrace." '	40 και δωσω εφ' υμας ονειδισμον αιωνιον και ατιμιαν αιωνιον ητις ουκ επιλησθησεται
