Jeremiah 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 “In that time, says the Lord, they will cast out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its leaders, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of those who were living in Jerusalem, from their graves.	1 εν τω καιρω εκεινω λεγει κυριος εξοισουσιν τα οστα των βασιλεων ιουδα και τα οστα των αρχοντων αυτου και τα οστα των ιερεων και τα οστα των προφητων και τα οστα των κατοικουντων ιερουσαλημ εκ των ταφων αυτων
2 And they will spread them out before the sun and the moon and the entire army of the heavens, which they have loved, and served, and followed, and which they have sought and adored. They will not be collected, and they will not be buried. They will be like manure upon the face of the earth.	2 και ψυξουσιν αυτα προς τον ηλιον και την σεληνην και προς παντας τους αστερας και προς πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου α ηγαπησαν και οις εδουλευσαν και ων επορευθησαν οπισω αυτων και ων αντειχοντο και οις προσεκυνησαν αυτοις ου κοπησονται και ου ταφησονται και εσονται εις παραδειγμα επι προσωπου της γης
3 And they will greatly prefer death to life: all those who will have been left from this wicked kindred, in all the forsaken places to which I will cast them out, says the Lord of hosts.	3 οτι ειλοντο τον θανατον η την ζωην και πασιν τοις καταλοιποις τοις καταλειφθεισιν απο της γενεας εκεινης εν παντι τοπω ου εαν εξωσω αυτους εκει
4 And you will say to them: Thus says the Lord: He who falls, will he not rise again? And he who has been turned away, will he not return?	4 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος μη ο πιπτων ουκ ανισταται η ο αποστρεφων ουκ επιστρεφει
5 Then why have this people in Jerusalem turned away with a contentious loathing? They have taken hold of what is false, and they are not willing to return.	5 δια τι απεστρεψεν ο λαος μου ουτος αποστροφην αναιδη και κατεκρατηθησαν εν τη προαιρεσει αυτων και ουκ ηθελησαν του επιστρεψαι
6 I paid close attention and I listened carefully. No one is speaking what is good. There is no one who does penance for his sin, saying: ‘What have I done?’ They have all turned to their own course, like a horse rushing with fury into battle.	6 ενωτισασθε δη και ακουσατε ουχ ουτως λαλησουσιν ουκ εστιν ανθρωπος μετανοων απο της κακιας αυτου λεγων τι εποιησα διελιπεν ο τρεχων απο του δρομου αυτου ως ιππος καθιδρος εν χρεμετισμω αυτου
7 The hawk in the heavens has known her time. The turtledove, and the swallow, and the stork have kept the time of their arrival. But my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.	7 και η ασιδα εν τω ουρανω εγνω τον καιρον αυτης τρυγων και χελιδων αγρου στρουθια εφυλαξαν καιρους εισοδων αυτων ο δε λαος μου ουκ εγνω τα κριματα κυριου
8 How can you say: ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us?’ Truly, the lying pen of the scribes has wrought falsehood.	8 πως ερειτε οτι σοφοι εσμεν ημεις και νομος κυριου εστιν μεθ' ημων εις ματην εγενηθη σχοινος ψευδης γραμματευσιν
9 The wise men have been confounded; they were terrified and captured. For they cast aside the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.	9 ησχυνθησαν σοφοι και επτοηθησαν και εαλωσαν οτι τον λογον κυριου απεδοκιμασαν σοφια τις εστιν εν αυτοις
10 Because of this, I will give their wives to outsiders and their fields to others as an inheritance. For from the least, even to the greatest, they all pursue avarice; from the prophet, even to the priest, they all act with deceit.	10 δια τουτο δωσω τας γυναικας αυτων ετεροις και τους αγρους αυτων τοις κληρονομοις
11 And they healed the destruction of the daughter of my people with disgrace, by saying: ‘Peace, peace,’ though there was no peace.	11 -
12 They have been confounded because they committed abomination. Or rather, they have not been confounded with shame, for they do not know how to blush. For this reason, they will fall among the fallen. In the time of their visitation, they will fall, says the Lord.	12 -
13 When gathering, I will gather them together, says the Lord. There are no grapes on the vine, and there are no figs on the fig tree. The leaves have fallen. And I have given them the things that have passed away.”	13 και συναξουσιν τα γενηματα αυτων λεγει κυριος ουκ εστιν σταφυλη εν ταις αμπελοις και ουκ εστιν συκα εν ταις συκαις και τα φυλλα κατερρυηκεν
14 “Why are we sitting still? Assemble, and let us enter the fortified city, and let us remain silent there. For the Lord our God has brought us to silence, and he has given us the water of gall as a drink. For we have sinned against the Lord.	14 επι τι ημεις καθημεθα συναχθητε και εισελθωμεν εις τας πολεις τας οχυρας και απορριφωμεν οτι ο θεος απερριψεν ημας και εποτισεν ημας υδωρ χολης οτι ημαρτομεν εναντιον αυτου
15 We expected peace, but there was nothing good. We expected a time of health, and behold, dread.”	15 συνηχθημεν εις ειρηνην και ουκ ην αγαθα εις καιρον ιασεως και ιδου σπουδη
16 “From Dan, the snorting of his horses was heard; the entire land was shaken by the voice of the neighing of his fighters. And they arrived and devoured the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants.	16 εκ δαν ακουσομεθα φωνην οξυτητος ιππων αυτου απο φωνης χρεμετισμου ιππασιας ιππων αυτου εσεισθη πασα η γη και ηξει και καταφαγεται την γην και το πληρωμα αυτης πολιν και τους κατοικουντας εν αυτη
17 For behold, I will send among you serpents, king snakes, against which there is no charm, and they will bite you, says the Lord.	17 διοτι ιδου εγω εξαποστελλω εις υμας οφεις θανατουντας οις ουκ εστιν επασαι και δηξονται υμας
18 My sorrow is beyond sorrow; my heart mourns within me.	18 ανιατα μετ' οδυνης καρδιας υμων απορουμενης
19 Behold, the voice of the daughter of my people from a far away land. Is the Lord not with Zion, and is her king not within her? Then why have they provoked me to wrath by their graven images, and by their strange vanities?	19 ιδου φωνη κραυγης θυγατρος λαου μου απο γης μακροθεν μη κυριος ουκ εστιν εν σιων η βασιλευς ουκ εστιν εκει δια τι παρωργισαν με εν τοις γλυπτοις αυτων και εν ματαιοις αλλοτριοις
20 The harvest has passed by, the summer is at an end, and we have not been saved.	20 διηλθεν θερος παρηλθεν αμητος και ημεις ου διεσωθημεν
21 Over the destruction of the daughter of my people, I am contrite and saddened; astonishment has taken hold of me.	21 επι συντριμματι θυγατρος λαου μου εσκοτωθην απορια κατισχυσαν με ωδινες ως τικτουσης
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Or is there no physician there? Then why has the wound of the daughter of my people not been closed?”	22 μη ρητινη ουκ εστιν εν γαλααδ η ιατρος ουκ εστιν εκει δια τι ουκ ανεβη ιασις θυγατρος λαου μου
	23 τις δωσει κεφαλη μου υδωρ και οφθαλμοις μου πηγην δακρυων και κλαυσομαι τον λαον μου τουτον ημερας και νυκτος τους τετραυματισμενους θυγατρος λαου μου
