ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 18

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ιερεμιαν λεγων	1 The word that came from Jeremias to the Lord, saying:
2 αναστηθι και καταβηθι εις οικον του κεραμεως και εκει ακουση τους λογους μου	2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there thou shalt hear my words.
3 και κατεβην εις τον οικον του κεραμεως και ιδου αυτος εποιει εργον επι των λιθων	3 And I went down into the potter's house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel.
4 και διεπεσεν το αγγειον ο αυτος εποιει εν ταις χερσιν αυτου και παλιν αυτος εποιησεν αυτο αγγειον ετερον καθως ηρεσεν ενωπιον αυτου του ποιησαι	4 And the vessel was broken which he was making with clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it.
5 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
6 ει καθως ο κεραμευς ουτος ου δυνησομαι του ποιησαι υμας οικος ισραηλ ιδου ως ο πηλος του κεραμεως υμεις εστε εν ταις χερσιν μου	6 Cannot I do with you as this potter, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 περας λαλησω επι εθνος η επι βασιλειαν του εξαραι αυτους και του απολλυειν	7 I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
8 και επιστραφη το εθνος εκεινο απο παντων των κακων αυτων και μετανοησω περι των κακων ων ελογισαμην του ποιησαι αυτοις	8 If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.
9 και περας λαλησω επι εθνος και επι βασιλειαν του ανοικοδομεισθαι και του καταφυτευεσθαι	9 And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it.
10 και ποιησωσιν τα πονηρα εναντιον μου του μη ακουειν της φωνης μου και μετανοησω περι των αγαθων ων ελαλησα του ποιησαι αυτοις	10 If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.
11 και νυν ειπον προς ανδρας ιουδα και προς τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ ιδου εγω πλασσω εφ' υμας κακα και λογιζομαι εφ' υμας λογισμον αποστραφητω δη εκαστος απο οδου αυτου της πονηρας και καλλιονα ποιησετε τα επιτηδευματα υμων	11 Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.
12 και ειπαν ανδριουμεθα οτι οπισω των αποστροφων ημων πορευσομεθα και εκαστος τα αρεστα της καρδιας αυτου της πονηρας ποιησομεν	12 And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.
13 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ερωτησατε δη εν εθνεσιν τις ηκουσεν τοιαυτα φρικτα α εποιησεν σφοδρα παρθενος ισραηλ	13 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess?
14 μη εκλειψουσιν απο πετρας μαστοι η χιων απο του λιβανου μη εκκλινει υδωρ βιαιως ανεμω φερομενον	14 Shall now the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away?
15 οτι επελαθοντο μου ο λαος μου εις κενον εθυμιασαν και ασθενησουσιν εν ταις οδοις αυτων σχοινους αιωνιους του επιβηναι τριβους ουκ εχοντας οδον εις πορειαν	15 Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden:
16 του ταξαι την γην αυτων εις αφανισμον και συριγμα αιωνιον παντες οι διαπορευομενοι δι' αυτης εκστησονται και κινησουσιν την κεφαλην αυτων	16 That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 ως ανεμον καυσωνα διασπερω αυτους κατα προσωπον εχθρων αυτων δειξω αυτοις ημεραν απωλειας αυτων	17 As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.
18 και ειπαν δευτε λογισωμεθα επι ιερεμιαν λογισμον οτι ουκ απολειται νομος απο ιερεως και βουλη απο συνετου και λογος απο προφητου δευτε και παταξωμεν αυτον εν γλωσση και ακουσομεθα παντας τους λογους αυτου	18 And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words.
19 εισακουσον μου κυριε και εισακουσον της φωνης του δικαιωματος μου	19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.
20 ει ανταποδιδοται αντι αγαθων κακα οτι συνελαλησαν ρηματα κατα της ψυχης μου και την κολασιν αυτων εκρυψαν μοι μνησθητι εστηκοτος μου κατα προσωπον σου του λαλησαι υπερ αυτων αγαθα του αποστρεψαι τον θυμον σου απ' αυτων	20 Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them.
21 δια τουτο δος τους υιους αυτων εις λιμον και αθροισον αυτους εις χειρας μαχαιρας γενεσθωσαν αι γυναικες αυτων ατεκνοι και χηραι και οι ανδρες αυτων γενεσθωσαν ανηρημενοι θανατω και οι νεανισκοι αυτων πεπτωκοτες μαχαιρα εν πολεμω	21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle.
22 γενηθητω κραυγη εν ταις οικιαις αυτων επαξεις επ' αυτους ληστας αφνω οτι ενεχειρησαν λογον εις συλλημψιν μου και παγιδας εκρυψαν επ' εμε	22 Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.
23 και συ κυριε εγνως απασαν την βουλην αυτων επ' εμε εις θανατον μη αθωωσης τας αδικιας αυτων και τας αμαρτιας αυτων απο προσωπου σου μη εξαλειψης γενεσθω η ασθενεια αυτων εναντιον σου εν καιρω θυμου σου ποιησον εν αυτοις	23 But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.
