GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ο λογος, ο γενομενος προς Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου, λεγων,	1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, saying:
2 Ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και λαλησατε προς τους ανδρας Ιουδα και προς τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ?	2 “Listen to the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ. Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις δεν υπακουει εις τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης,	3 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who will not listen to the words of this covenant,
4 την οποιαν προσεταξα εις τους πατερας υμων, καθ' ην ημεραν εξηγαγον αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου, εκ της καμινου της σιδηρας, λεγων, Ακουσατε της φωνης μου και πραττετε αυτα, κατα παντα οσα προσεταξα εις εσας? και θελετε εισθαι λαος μου, και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος υμων?	4 which I commanded to your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, away from the iron furnace, saying: Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you, and then you will be my people and I will be your God.
5 δια να εκπληρωσω τον ορκον, τον οποιον ωμοσα προς τους πατερας υμων, να δωσω εις αυτους γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι, ως εν τη ημερα ταυτη. Τοτε απεκριθην και ειπα, Αμην, Κυριε.	5 So shall I uphold the oath which I swore to your fathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, just as it is this day.” And I answered by saying: “Amen, O Lord.”
6 Και ο Κυριος ειπε προς εμε, Διακηρυξον παντας τους λογους τουτους εν ταις πολεσι του Ιουδα και εν ταις οδοις της Ιερουσαλημ, λεγων, Ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και πραττετε αυτους.	6 And the Lord said to me: “Shout all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Listen to the words of the covenant, and do them.
7 Διοτι ρητως διεμαρτυρηθην προς τους πατερας υμων, καθ' ην ημεραν ανεβιβασα αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου μεχρι της σημερον, εγειρομενος πρωι και διαμαρτυρομενος, λεγων, Ακουσατε της φωνης μου.	7 For when testing, I tested your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, even until this day. Rising early, I tested them, and I said: Listen to my voice.
8 Αλλα δεν ηκουσαν και δεν εκλιναν το ωτιον αυτων, αλλα περιεπατησαν εκαστος εν ταις ορεξεσι της πονηρας αυτων καρδιας? δια τουτο θελω φερει επ' αυτους παντας τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης, την οποιαν προσεταξα να πραττωσι, αλλα δεν επραξαν.	8 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, each one of them walked in the depravity of his own evil heart. And so, I brought over them all the words of this covenant, which I instructed them to do. But they would not do them.”
9 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Συνωμοσια ευρεθη μεταξυ των ανδρων Ιουδα και μεταξυ των κατοικων της Ιερουσαλημ.	9 And the Lord said to me: “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Επεστρεψαν εις τας αδικιας των προπατορων αυτων, οιτινες δεν ηθελησαν να ακουσωσι τους λογους μου? και αυτοι υπηγαν οπισω αλλων θεων, δια να λατρευωσιν αυτους? ο οικος Ισραηλ και ο οικος Ιουδα ηθετησαν την διαθηκην μου, την οποιαν εκαμα προς τους πατερας αυτων.	10 They have returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to listen to my words. And likewise, they have gone after strange gods, so that they may serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have treated as void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, θελω φερει επ' αυτους κακον, εκ του οποιου δεν θελουσι δυνηθη να εξελθωσι? και θελουσι βοησει προς εμε και δεν θελω εισακουσει αυτους.	11 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over them, from which they will not be able to escape. And they will cry out to me, and I will not heed them.
12 Τοτε αι πολεις του Ιουδα και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ θελουσιν υπαγει και θελουσι βοησει προς τους θεους, εις τους οποιους θυμιαζουσι? πλην δεν θελουσι σωσει εαυτους παντελως εν καιρω της ταλαιπωριας αυτων.	12 And the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go forth, and they will cry out to the gods, to whom they offer libations, and they will not save them in the time of their affliction.
13 Διοτι κατα τον αριθμον των πολεων σου ησαν οι θεοι σου, Ιουδα? και κατα τον αριθμον των οδων της Ιερουσαλημ ανηγειρατε βωμους εις τα αισχρα, βωμους δια να θυμιαζητε εις τον Βααλ.	13 For according to the number of your cities, so were your gods, O Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem, so did you establish altars of confusion, altars to offer libations to Baal.
14 Δια τουτο συ μη προσευχου υπερ του λαου τουτου και μη υψωνε φωνην η δεησιν υπερ αυτων? διοτι εγω δεν θελω εισακουσει, οταν κραζωσι προς εμε εν καιρω της ταλαιπωριας αυτων.	14 Therefore, you should not choose to pray for this people, and you should not take up praise and petitioning on their behalf. For I will not heed them in the time of their outcry to me, in the time of their affliction.
15 Τι εχει να καμη η ηγαπημενη μου εν τω οικω μου, αφου επραξεν ασελγειαν με πολλους, και το κρεας το αγιον αφηρεθη απο σου; οταν πραττης το κακον, τοτε ευφραινεσαι.	15 Why has my beloved wrought great wickedness in my house? How can the holy flesh take away from you your wickedness, in which you have gloried?
16 Ο Κυριος εκαλεσε το ονομα σου, Ελαιαν αειθαλη, ωραιαν, καλλικαρπον? μετ' ηχου θορυβου μεγαλου εξηφθη πυρ επ' αυτην και οι κλαδοι αυτης συνεθλασθησαν.	16 The Lord has called your name: a beautiful, fruitful, splendid, and productive olive tree. At the voice of a word, a great fire was kindled in it, and its greenery was burned up.
17 Διοτι ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, οστις σε εφυτευσεν, επροφερε κακον εναντιον σου, δια την κακιαν του οικου Ισραηλ και του οικου Ιουδα, την οποιαν επραξαν καθ' εαυτων, ωστε να με παροργισωσι θυμιαζοντες εις τον Βααλ.	17 And the Lord of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced an evil against you, concerning the evils of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves so as to provoke me, by offering libations to Baal.”
18 Και ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις εμε γνωσιν και εγνωρισα? τοτε εδειξας εις εμε τας πραξεις αυτων.	18 But you, O Lord, have revealed this to me, and I have understood. Then you displayed their efforts to me.
19 Αλλ' εγω ημην ως αρνιον ακακον φερομενον εις σφαγην? και δεν ενοησα οτι συνεβουλευθησαν βουλας εναντιον μου, λεγοντες, Ας καταστρεψωμεν το δενδρον μετα του καρπου αυτου και ας εκκοψωμεν αυτον απο της γης των ζωντων, ωστε το ονομα αυτου να μη μνημονευθη πλεον.	19 And I was like a meek lamb, who is being carried to be a victim. And I did not realize that they had devised plans against me, saying: “Let us place wood upon his bread, and let us eradicate him from the land of the living, and let his name no longer be remembered.”
20 Αλλ' ω Κυριε των δυναμεων, ο κρινων δικαιως, ο δοκιμαζων τους νεφρους και την καρδιαν, ας ιδω την εκδικησιν σου επ' αυτους, διοτι προς σε εφανερωσα την δικην μου.	20 But you, O Lord of hosts, who judges justly, and who tests the temperament and the heart, let me see your vengeance against them. For I have revealed my case to you.
21 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος περι των ανδρων της Αναθωθ, οιτινες ζητουσι την ζωην σου, λεγοντες, Μη προφητευσης εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου, δια να μη αποθανης υπο τας χειρας ημων?	21 “Because of this, thus says the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, and who are saying: ‘You shall not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and you shall not die by our hands.’
22 δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος των δυναμεων? Ιδου, θελω επισκεφθη αυτους? οι νεοι θελουσιν αποθανει εν μαχαιρα? οι υιοι αυτων αι θυγατερες αυτων θελουσι τελευτησει υπο πεινης?	22 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will visit upon them. Their young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 και δεν θελει μεινει υπολοιπον εξ αυτων? διοτι θελω φερει κακον επι τους ανδρας της Αναθωθ, εν τω ενιαυτω της επισκεψεως αυτων.	23 And there will be nothing left of them. For I will lead an evil over the men of Anathoth: the year of their visitation.”
