ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 5

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 περιδραμετε εν ταις οδοις ιερουσαλημ και ιδετε και γνωτε και ζητησατε εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης εαν ευρητε ανδρα ει εστιν ποιων κριμα και ζητων πιστιν και ιλεως εσομαι αυτοις λεγει κυριος	1 Go about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and consider, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can fins a man that executeth judgement, and seeketh faith: and I will be merciful unto it.
2 ζη κυριος λεγουσιν δια τουτο ουκ επι ψευδεσιν ομνυουσιν	2 And though they say: The Lord liveth; this also they will swear falsely.
3 κυριε οι οφθαλμοι σου εις πιστιν εμαστιγωσας αυτους και ουκ επονεσαν συνετελεσας αυτους και ουκ ηθελησαν δεξασθαι παιδειαν εστερεωσαν τα προσωπα αυτων υπερ πετραν και ουκ ηθελησαν επιστραφηναι	3 O Lord, thy eyes are upon truth: thou hast struck them, and they have not grieved: thou hast bruised them, and they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than the rock, and they have refused to return.
4 και εγω ειπα ισως πτωχοι εισιν διοτι ουκ εδυνασθησαν οτι ουκ εγνωσαν οδον κυριου και κρισιν θεου	4 But I said: Perhaps these are poor and foolish, that know not the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God.
5 πορευσομαι προς τους αδρους και λαλησω αυτοις οτι αυτοι επεγνωσαν οδον κυριου και κρισιν θεου και ιδου ομοθυμαδον συνετριψαν ζυγον διερρηξαν δεσμους	5 I will go therefore to the great men, and I will speak to them: for they known the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God: and behold these have together broken the yoke more, and have burst the bonds.
6 δια τουτο επαισεν αυτους λεων εκ του δρυμου και λυκος εως των οικιων ωλεθρευσεν αυτους και παρδαλις εγρηγορησεν επι τας πολεις αυτων παντες οι εκπορευομενοι απ' αυτων θηρευθησονται οτι επληθυναν ασεβειας αυτων ισχυσαν εν ταις αποστροφαις αυτων	6 Wherefore a lion out of the wood hath slain them, a wolf in the evening, hath spoiled them, a leopard watcheth for their cities: every one that shall go out thence shall be taken, because their transgressions are multiplied, their rebellions are strengthened.
7 ποια τουτων ιλεως γενωμαι σοι οι υιοι σου εγκατελιπον με και ωμνυον εν τοις ουκ ουσιν θεοις και εχορτασα αυτους και εμοιχωντο και εν οικοις πορνων κατελυον	7 How can I be merciful to thee? thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not gods: I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and rioted in the harlot's house.
8 ιπποι θηλυμανεις εγενηθησαν εκαστος επι την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου εχρεμετιζον	8 They are become as amorous horses and stallions, every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.
9 μη επι τουτοις ουκ επισκεψομαι λεγει κυριος η εν εθνει τοιουτω ουκ εκδικησει η ψυχη μου	9 Shall I not visit for these things, sayeth the Lord? and shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?
10 αναβητε επι τους προμαχωνας αυτης και κατασκαψατε συντελειαν δε μη ποιησητε υπολιπεσθε τα υποστηριγματα αυτης οτι του κυριου εισιν	10 Scale down the walls thereof, and throw them down, but do not utterly destroy: take away the branches thereof, because they are not the Lord's.
11 οτι αθετων ηθετησεν εις εμε λεγει κυριος οικος ισραηλ και οικος ιουδα	11 For the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have greatly transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
12 εψευσαντο τω κυριω εαυτων και ειπαν ουκ εστιν ταυτα ουχ ηξει εφ' ημας κακα και μαχαιραν και λιμον ουκ οψομεθα	12 They have denied the Lord, and said, It is not he: and the evil shall not come upon us: we shall not see the sword and famine.
13 οι προφηται ημων ησαν εις ανεμον και λογος κυριου ουχ υπηρχεν εν αυτοις ουτως εσται αυτοις	13 The prophets have spoken in the wind, and there was no word of God in them: these things therefore shall befall them.
14 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ανθ' ων ελαλησατε το ρημα τουτο ιδου εγω δεδωκα τους λογους μου εις το στομα σου πυρ και τον λαον τουτον ξυλα και καταφαγεται αυτους	14 Thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: Because you have spoken this word, behold I will make my words in thy mouth as fire, and this people as wood, and it shall devour them.
15 ιδου εγω επαγω εφ' υμας εθνος πορρωθεν οικος ισραηλ λεγει κυριος εθνος ου ουκ ακουση της φωνης της γλωσσης αυτου	15 Behold I will bring upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: a strong nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou shalt not know, nor understand what they say.
16 παντες ισχυροι	16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.
17 και κατεδονται τον θερισμον υμων και τους αρτους υμων και κατεδονται τους υιους υμων και τας θυγατερας υμων και κατεδονται τα προβατα υμων και τους μοσχους υμων και κατεδονται τους αμπελωνας υμων και τους συκωνας υμων και τους ελαιωνας υμων και αλοησουσιν τας πολεις τας οχυρας υμων εφ' αις υμεις πεποιθατε επ' αυταις εν ρομφαια	17 And they shall eat up thy corn, and thy bread: they shall devour thy sons, and thy daughters: they shall eat up thy flocks, and thy herds: they shall eat thy vineyards, and thy figs: and with the sword they shall destroy thy strong cities, wherein thou trustest.
18 και εσται εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις λεγει κυριος ο θεος σου ου μη ποιησω υμας εις συντελειαν	18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not bring you to utter destruction.
19 και εσται οταν ειπητε τινος ενεκεν εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων ημιν απαντα ταυτα και ερεις αυτοις ανθ' ων εδουλευσατε θεοις αλλοτριοις εν τη γη υμων ουτως δουλευσετε αλλοτριοις εν γη ουχ υμων	19 And if you shall say: why hath the Lord our God done all these things to us? thou shalt say to them: As you have forsaken me, and served a strange god in your own land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not your own.
20 αναγγειλατε ταυτα εις τον οικον ιακωβ και ακουσθητω εν τω ιουδα	20 Declare ye this to the house of Jacob, and publish it in Juda, saying:
21 ακουσατε δη ταυτα λαος μωρος και ακαρδιος οφθαλμοι αυτοις και ου βλεπουσιν ωτα αυτοις και ουκ ακουουσιν	21 Hear, O foolish people, and without understanding: who have eyes, and see not: and ears, and hear not.
22 μη εμε ου φοβηθησεσθε λεγει κυριος η απο προσωπου μου ουκ ευλαβηθησεσθε τον ταξαντα αμμον οριον τη θαλασση προσταγμα αιωνιον και ουχ υπερβησεται αυτο και ταραχθησεται και ου δυνησεται και ηχησουσιν τα κυματα αυτης και ουχ υπερβησεται αυτο	22 Will not you then fear me, saith the Lord: and will you not repent at my presence? I have set the sand a bound for the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it shall not pass over: and the waves thereof shall toss themselves, and shall not prevail: they shall swell, and shall not pass over it.
23 τω δε λαω τουτω εγενηθη καρδια ανηκοος και απειθης και εξεκλιναν και απηλθοσαν	23 But the heart of this people is become hard of belief and provoking, they are revolted and gone away.
24 και ουκ ειπον εν τη καρδια αυτων φοβηθωμεν δη κυριον τον θεον ημων τον διδοντα ημιν υετον προιμον και οψιμον κατα καιρον πληρωσεως προσταγματος θερισμου και εφυλαξεν ημιν	24 And they have not said in their heart: let us fear the Lord our God, who giveth us the early and the latter rain in due season: who preserveth for us the fullness of the yearly harvest.
25 αι ανομιαι υμων εξεκλιναν ταυτα και αι αμαρτιαι υμων απεστησαν τα αγαθα αφ' υμων	25 Your iniquities have turned these things away, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26 οτι ευρεθησαν εν τω λαω μου ασεβεις και παγιδας εστησαν διαφθειραι ανδρας και συνελαμβανοσαν	26 For among my people are found wicked men, that lie in wait as fowlers, setting snares and traps to catch men.
27 ως παγις εφεσταμενη πληρης πετεινων ουτως οι οικοι αυτων πληρεις δολου δια τουτο εμεγαλυνθησαν και επλουτησαν	27 As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched.
28 και παρεβησαν κρισιν ουκ εκριναν κρισιν ορφανου και κρισιν χηρας ουκ εκρινοσαν	28 They are grown gross and fat: andhave most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, they have not judged the judgement of the poor.
29 μη επι τουτοις ουκ επισκεψομαι λεγει κυριος η εν εθνει τω τοιουτω ουκ εκδικησει η ψυχη μου	29 Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?
30 εκστασις και φρικτα εγενηθη επι της γης	30 Astonishing and wonderful things have been done in the land.
31 οι προφηται προφητευουσιν αδικα και οι ιερεις επεκροτησαν ταις χερσιν αυτων και ο λαος μου ηγαπησεν ουτως και τι ποιησετε εις τα μετα ταυτα	31 The prophets prophesied falsehood, and the priests clapped their hands: and my people loved such things: what then shall be done in the end thereof?
