1 Εν τω καιρω εκεινω, λεγει Κυριος, θελουσιν εκριψει τα οστα των βασιλεων του Ιουδα και τα οστα των αρχοντων αυτου και τα οστα των ιερεων, και τα οστα των προφητων και τα οστα των κατοικων της Ιερουσαλημ, απο των ταφων αυτων?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.
2 και θελουσιν απλωσει αυτα κατεναντι του ηλιου και της σεληνης και κατεναντι πασης της στρατιας του ουρανου, τα οποια ηγαπησαν και τα οποια ελατρευσαν και οπισω των οποιων περιεπατησαν και τα οποια εξεζητησαν και τα οποια προσεκυνησαν? δεν θελουσι συναχθη ουδε ταφη? θελουσιν εισθαι δια κοπριαν επι του προσωπου της γης.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.
3 Και ο θανατος θελει εισθαι προτιμοτερος παρα την ζωην εις απαν το υπολοιπον των εναπολειφθεντων απο εκεινης της πονηρας γενεας, οσοι ηθελον μεινει εν πασι τοις τοποις, οπου ηθελον εξωσει αυτους, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.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.
4 Και θελεις ειπει προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Εαν τις πεση, δεν σηκονεται; εαν τις εκκλινη, δεν θελει επιστρεψει;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?
5 Δια τι ο λαος ουτος της Ιερουσαλημ εστραφη παντοτεινην στροφην; προσηλονονται εις την απατην, αρνουνται να επιστρεψωσιν.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.
6 Ηκροασθην και ηκουσα, αλλα δεν ελαλησαν εν ευθυτητι? δεν υπαρχει ουδεις μετανοων απο της κακιας αυτου, λεγων, Τι επραξα; πας τις εστραφη εις την οδον αυτου, ως ιππος εφορμων εις την μαχην.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.
7 Και αυτος ο πελαργος εν τω ουρανω γνωριζει τους διωρισμενους καιρους αυτου? και η τρυγων και ο γερανος και η χελιδων φυλαττουσι τον καιρον της ελευσεως αυτων? ο δε λαος μου δεν γνωριζει την κρισιν του Κυριου.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.
8 Πως λεγετε, Ειμεθα σοφοι, και ο νομος του Κυριου ειναι μεθ' ημων; ιδου, βεβαιως εις ματην εγεινε τουτο? ο καλαμος των γραμματεων ειναι ψευδης.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.
9 Οι σοφοι κατησχυνθησαν, επτοηθησαν και συνεληφθησαν, διοτι απερριψαν τον λογον του Κυριου? και ποια σοφια ειναι εν αυτοις;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.
10 Δια τουτο θελω δωσει τας γυναικας αυτων εις αλλους, τους αγρους αυτων εις εκεινους οιτινες θελουσι κληρονομησει αυτους? διοτι πας τις απο μικρου εως μεγαλου εδοθη εις πλεονεξιαν? απο προφητου εως ιερεως, πας τις πραττει ψευδος.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.
11 Διοτι ιατρευσαν το συντριμμα της θυγατρος του λαου μου επιπολαιως, λεγοντες, Ειρηνη, ειρηνη? και δεν υπαρχει ειρηνη.11 And they healed the destruction of the daughter of my people with disgrace, by saying: ‘Peace, peace,’ though there was no peace.
12 Μηπως ησχυνθησαν οτι επραξαν βδελυγμα; μαλιστα ουδολως δεν ησχυνθησαν ουδε ηρυθριασαν? δια τουτο θελουσι πεσει μεταξυ των πιπτοντων? εν τω καιρω της επισκεψεως αυτων θελουσιν απολεσθη, ειπε Κυριος.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.
13 Εξαπαντος θελω αναλωσει αυτους, λεγει Κυριος? δεν θελουσιν εισθαι σταφυλαι εν τη αμπελω ουδε συκα εν τη συκεα και το φυλλον θελει μαρανθη? και τα αγαθα, τα οποια εδωκα εις αυτους, θελουσι φυγει απ' αυτων.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.”
14 Δια τι καθημεθα; συναχθητε και ας εισελθωμεν εις τας οχυρας πολεις και ας κατασιωπησωμεν εκει, διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος ημων κατεσιωπησεν ημας και εποτισεν ημας υδωρ χολης, επειδη ημαρτησαμεν εις τον Κυριον.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.
15 Επροσμειναμεν ειρηνην, αλλ' ουδεν αγαθον? καιρον θεραπειας, αλλ' ιδου, ταραχη.15 We expected peace, but there was nothing good. We expected a time of health, and behold, dread.”
16 Το φρυαγμα των ιππων αυτου ηκουσθη απο Δαν? πασα η γη εσεισθη απο του ηχου του χρεμετισμου των ρωμαλεων ιππων αυτου? διοτι ηλθον και κατεφαγον την γην και το πληρωμα αυτης? την πολιν και τους κατοικουντας εν αυτη?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.
17 διοτι, ιδου, εγω εξαποστελλω προς εσας οφεις, βασιλισκους, οιτινες δεν θελουσι γοητευεσθαι αλλα θελουσι σας δαγκανει, λεγει Κυριος.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.
18 Ηθελησα να παρηγορηθω απο της λυπης, αλλ' η καρδια μου ειναι εκλελυμενη εντος μου.18 My sorrow is beyond sorrow; my heart mourns within me.
19 Ιδου, φωνη κραυγης της θυγατρος του λαου μου απο γης μακρας. Δεν ειναι ο Κυριος εν Σιων; ο βασιλευς αυτης δεν ειναι εν αυτη; Δια τι με παρωργισαν με τα γλυπτα αυτων, με ματαιοτητας ξενας;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?
20 Παρηλθεν ο θερισμος, ετελειωσε το θερος, και ημεις δεν εσωθημεν.20 The harvest has passed by, the summer is at an end, and we have not been saved.
21 Δια το συντριμμα της θυγατρος του λαου μου επληγωθην, ειμαι εις πενθος, εκπληξις με κατελαβε.21 Over the destruction of the daughter of my people, I am contrite and saddened; astonishment has taken hold of me.
22 Δεν ειναι βαλσαμον εν Γαλααδ; δεν ειναι εκει ιατρος; δια τι λοιπον η θυγατηρ του λαου μου δεν ανελαβε την υγειαν αυτης;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?”
