LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ιερεμιαν λεγων	1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, saying:
2 ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και λαλησεις προς ανδρας ιουδα και προς τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ	2 “Listen to the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος ουκ ακουσεται των λογων 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 ης ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν υμων εν ημερα η ανηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εκ καμινου της σιδηρας λεγων ακουσατε της φωνης μου και ποιησατε παντα οσα εαν εντειλωμαι υμιν και εσεσθε μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι υμιν εις θεον	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 οπως στησω τον ορκον μου ον ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν υμων του δουναι αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι καθως η ημερα αυτη και απεκριθην και ειπα γενοιτο 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 ειπεν κυριος προς με αναγνωθι τους λογους τουτους εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εξωθεν ιερουσαλημ λεγων ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και ποιησατε 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 -	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 και ουκ εποιησαν	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 ειπεν κυριος προς με ευρεθη συνδεσμος εν ανδρασιν ιουδα και εν τοις κατοικουσιν 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 επεστραφησαν επι τας αδικιας των πατερων αυτων των προτερον οι ουκ ηθελον εισακουσαι των λογων μου και ιδου αυτοι βαδιζουσιν οπισω θεων αλλοτριων του δουλευειν αυτοις και διεσκεδασαν οικος ισραηλ και οικος ιουδα την διαθηκην μου ην διεθεμην 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 ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επαγω επι τον λαον τουτον κακα εξ ων ου δυνησονται εξελθειν εξ αυτων και κεκραξονται προς με και ουκ εισακουσομαι αυτων	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 και πορευσονται πολεις ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και κεκραξονται προς τους θεους οις αυτοι θυμιωσιν αυτοις μη σωσουσιν αυτους εν καιρω των κακων 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 οτι κατ' αριθμον των πολεων σου ησαν θεοι σου ιουδα και κατ' αριθμον εξοδων της ιερουσαλημ εταξατε βωμους θυμιαν τη 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 και συ μη προσευχου περι του λαου τουτου και μη αξιου περι αυτων εν δεησει και προσευχη οτι ουκ εισακουσομαι εν τω καιρω εν ω επικαλουνται με εν καιρω κακωσεως 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 η ηγαπημενη εν τω οικω μου εποιησεν βδελυγμα μη ευχαι και κρεα αγια αφελουσιν απο σου τας κακιας σου η τουτοις διαφευξη	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 ελαιαν ωραιαν ευσκιον τω ειδει εκαλεσεν κυριος το ονομα σου εις φωνην περιτομης αυτης ανηφθη πυρ επ' αυτην μεγαλη η θλιψις επι σε ηχρεωθησαν οι κλαδοι αυτης	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 και κυριος ο καταφυτευσας σε ελαλησεν επι σε κακα αντι της κακιας οικου ισραηλ και οικου ιουδα οτι εποιησαν εαυτοις του παροργισαι με εν τω θυμιαν αυτους τη 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 κυριε γνωρισον μοι και γνωσομαι τοτε ειδον τα επιτηδευματα αυτων	18 But you, O Lord, have revealed this to me, and I have understood. Then you displayed their efforts to me.
19 εγω δε ως αρνιον ακακον αγομενον του θυεσθαι ουκ εγνων επ' εμε ελογισαντο λογισμον πονηρον λεγοντες δευτε και εμβαλωμεν ξυλον εις τον αρτον αυτου και εκτριψωμεν αυτον απο γης ζωντων και το ονομα αυτου ου μη μνησθη ετι	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 κυριε κρινων δικαια δοκιμαζων νεφρους και καρδιας ιδοιμι την παρα σου εκδικησιν εξ αυτων οτι προς σε απεκαλυψα το δικαιωμα 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 ταδε λεγει κυριος επι τους ανδρας αναθωθ τους ζητουντας την ψυχην μου τους λεγοντας ου μη προφητευσης επι τω ονοματι κυριου ει δε μη αποθανη εν ταις χερσιν 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 ιδου εγω επισκεψομαι επ' αυτους οι νεανισκοι αυτων εν μαχαιρα αποθανουνται και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων τελευτησουσιν εν λιμω	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 εγκαταλειμμα ουκ εσται αυτων οτι επαξω κακα επι τους κατοικουντας εν αναθωθ εν ενιαυτω 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.”
