Jeremiah 34

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:	1 Ο λογος ο γενομενος προς Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου, οτε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος και πασα η δυναμις αυτου και παντα τα βασιλεια της γης τα υποκειμενα υπο την χειρα αυτου και παντες οι λαοι επολεμουν κατα της Ιερουσαλημ και κατα πασων των πολεων αυτης, λεγων,
2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.	2 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Υπαγε και λαλησον προς τον Σεδεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, θελω παραδωσει την πολιν ταυτην εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, και θελει κατακαυσει αυτην εν πυρι?
3 And you will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into Babylon.	3 και συ δεν θελεις εκφυγει εκ της χειρος αυτου, αλλ' εξαπαντος θελεις πιασθη και παραδοθη εις την χειρα αυτου? και οι οφθαλμοι σου θελουσιν ιδει τους οφθαλμους του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, και το στομα αυτου θελει λαλησει εις το στομα σου, και θελεις υπαγει εις την Βαβυλωνα.
4 Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.	4 Ακουσον ομως τον λογον του Κυριου, Σεδεκια βασιλευ του Ιουδα? ουτω λεγει Κυριος περι σου? Δεν θελεις αποθανει δια μαχαιρας?
5 Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says the Lord.”	5 εν ειρηνη θελεις αποθανει, και κατα τας καυσεις τας εις τους πατερας σου, τους προγενεστερους βασιλεις, τους υπαρξαντας προ σου, ουτω θελουσι καμει καυσεις εις σε? και θελουσι κλαυσει, λεγοντες, Ουαι, Κυριε? διοτι εγω ελαλησα τον λογον, λεγει Κυριος.
6 And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.	6 Και ελαλησεν Ιερεμιας ο προφητης προς Σεδεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα παντας τους λογους τουτους εν Ιερουσαλημ?
7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.	7 το δε στρατευμα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος επολεμει κατα της Ιερουσαλημ και κατα πασων των πολεων του Ιουδα των εναπολειφθεισων, κατα της Λαχεις και κατα της Αζηκα? διοτι αυται εναπελειφθησαν εν ταις πολεσιν Ιουδα, πολεις οχυραι.
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming	8 Ο λογος ο γενομενος προς τον Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου, αφου ο βασιλευς Σεδεκιας εκαμε συνθηκην μετα παντος του λαου του εν Ιερουσαλημ, δια να κηρυξη εις αυτους αφεσιν?
9 that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.	9 ωστε να αποπεμψη εκαστος τον δουλον αυτου και εκαστος την δουλην αυτου, Εβραιον η Εβραιαν, ελευθερους, δια να μη εχη μηδεις δουλον Ιουδαιον αδελφον αυτου?
10 Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.	10 και ηκουσαν παντες οι αρχοντες και πας ο λαος, οι εισελθοντες εις την συνθηκην, του να αποπεμψωσιν εκαστος τον δουλον αυτου και εκαστος την δουλην αυτου ελευθερους, ωστε να μη εχωσι πλεον δουλους αυτους? υπηκουσαν λοιπον και απεπεμψαν?
11 But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.	11 μετα ταυτα ομως τους δουλους και τας δουλας, τους οποιους απεπεμψαν ελευθερους, εκαμον να επιστρεψωσι, και καθυπεβαλον αυτους να ηναι δουλοι και δουλαι?
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:	12 και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου, λεγων,
13 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, saying:	13 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Εγω εκαμον διαθηκην προς τους πατερας σας, καθ' ην ημεραν εξηγαγον αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου, εξ οικου δουλειας, λεγων,
14 ‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they incline their ear.	14 Εν τω τελει επτα ετων αποπεμψατε εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου τον Εβραιον, οστις επωληθη εις σε και σε υπηρετησεν εξ ετη? τοτε θελεις αποπεμψει αυτον ελευθερον απο σου? αλλ' οι πατερες σας δεν μου ηκουσαν ουδε εκλιναν το ωτιον αυτων.
15 And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.	15 Και σεις τωρα ειχετε επιστρεψει και καμει το ευθες ενωπιον μου, κηρυττοντες εκαστος αφεσιν εις τον πλησιον αυτου? και ειχετε καμει συνθηκην ενωπιον μου εν τω οικω, εφ' ον εκληθη το ονομα μου?
16 But now you have turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”	16 αλλ' επεστρεψατε και εμιανατε το ονομα μου, και εκαμετε εκαστος τον δουλον αυτου και εκαστος την δουλην αυτου να επιστρεψωσι, τους οποιους ειχετε αποπεμψει ελευθερους κατα την θελησιν αυτων, και καθυπεβαλετε αυτους δια να ηναι εις εσας δουλοι και δουλαι.
17 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.	17 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Σεις δεν μου ηκουσατε, να κηρυξητε αφεσιν εκαστος εις τον αδελφον αυτου και εκαστος εις τον πλησιον αυτου? ιδου λοιπον, λεγει Κυριος, εγω κηρυττω αφεσιν εναντιον σας εις την μαχαιραν, εις τον λοιμον και εις την πειναν? και θελω σας παραδωσει εις διασποραν εν πασι τοις βασιλειοις της γης.
18 And I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:	18 Και θελω παραδωσει τους ανθρωπους τους αθετησαντας την διαθηκην μου, οιτινες δεν εξετελεσαν τους λογους της διαθηκης, την οποιαν εκαμον ενωπιον μου, οτε εσχισαν τον μοσχον εις δυο και επερασαν μεταξυ των τμηματων αυτου,
19 the leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf.	19 τους αρχοντας του Ιουδα και τους αρχοντας της Ιερουσαλημ, τους ευνουχους και τους ιερεις και παντα τον λαον του τοπου, οιτινες επερασαν μεταξυ των τμηματων του μοσχου?
20 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.	20 και θελω παραδωσει αυτους εις την χειρα των εχθρων αυτων και εις την χειρα των ζητουντων την ψυχην αυτων? τα δε πτωματα αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι δια τροφην εις τα πετεινα του ουρανου και εις τα θηρια της γης.
21 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which had withdrawn from you.	21 Και Σεδεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα και τους αρχοντας αυτου θελω παραδωσει εις την χειρα των εχθρων αυτων και εις την χειρα των ζητουντων την ψυχην αυτων και εις την χειρα του στρατευματος του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, οιτινες ανεχωρησαν απο εσας.
22 Behold, I will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no inhabitant.”	22 Ιδου, θελω προσταξει, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω επιστρεψει αυτους εις την πολιν ταυτην? και θελουσι πολεμησει κατ' αυτης και κυριευσει αυτην και κατακαυσει αυτην εν πυρι? και θελω καμει ερημωσιν τας πολεις του Ιουδα, ωστε να μη υπαρχη ο κατοικων.
