Jeremiah 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 At that time, says the LORD, the bones of the kings and princes of Judah, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the citizens of Jerusalem will be emptied out of 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 spread out before the sun and the moon and the whole army of heaven, which they loved and served, which they followed, consulted, and worshiped. They will not be gathered up for burial, but will lie like dung upon the ground.	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 Death will be preferred to life by all the survivors of this wicked race who remain in any of the places to which I banish them, 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 Tell them: Thus says the LORD: When someone falls, does he not rise again? if he goes astray, does he not turn back?	4 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος μη ο πιπτων ουκ ανισταται η ο αποστρεφων ουκ επιστρεφει
5 Why do these people rebel with obstinate resistance? Why do they cling to deceptive idols, refuse to turn back?	5 δια τι απεστρεψεν ο λαος μου ουτος αποστροφην αναιδη και κατεκρατηθησαν εν τη προαιρεσει αυτων και ουκ ηθελησαν του επιστρεψαι
6 I listen closely: they speak what is not true; No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done!" Everyone keeps on running his course, like a steed dashing 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 Even the stork in the air knows it seasons; Turtledove, swallow and thrush observe their time of return, But my people do not know the ordinance 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, we have the law of the LORD"? Why, that has been changed into falsehood by the lying pen of the scribes!	8 πως ερειτε οτι σοφοι εσμεν ημεις και νομος κυριου εστιν μεθ' ημων εις ματην εγενηθη σχοινος ψευδης γραμματευσιν
9 The wise are confounded, dismayed and ensnared; Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, of what avail is their wisdom?	9 ησχυνθησαν σοφοι και επτοηθησαν και εαλωσαν οτι τον λογον κυριου απεδοκιμασαν σοφια τις εστιν εν αυτοις
10 Therefore, I will give their wives to strangers, their fields to spoilers. Small and great alike, all are greedy for gain, prophet and priest, all practice fraud.	10 δια τουτο δωσω τας γυναικας αυτων ετεροις και τους αγρους αυτων τοις κληρονομοις
11 They would repair, as though it were nought, the injury to the daughter of my people: "Peace, peace!" they say, though there is no peace.	11 -
12 They are odious; they have done abominable things, yet they are not at all ashamed, they know not how to blush. Hence they shall be among those who fall; in their time of punishment they shall go down, says the LORD.	12 -
13 I will gather them all in, says the LORD: no grapes on the vine, No figs on the fig trees, foliage withered!	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 do we remain here? Let us form ranks and enter the walled cities, to perish there; For the LORD has wrought our destruction, he has given us poison to drink, because 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 wait for peace to no avail; for a time of healing, but terror comes instead.	15 συνηχθημεν εις ειρηνην και ουκ ην αγαθα εις καιρον ιασεως και ιδου σπουδη
16 From Dan is heard the snorting of his steeds; The neighing of his stallions shakes the whole land. They come devouring the land and all it contains, the city and those who dwell in it.	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 Yes, I will send against you poisonous snakes, Against which no charm will work when they bite you, says the LORD.	17 διοτι ιδου εγω εξαποστελλω εις υμας οφεις θανατουντας οις ουκ εστιν επασαι και δηξονται υμας
18 My grief is incurable, my heart within me is faint.	18 ανιατα μετ' οδυνης καρδιας υμων απορουμενης
19 Listen! the cry of the daughter of my people, far and wide in the land! Is the LORD no longer in Zion, is her King no longer in her midst? (Why do they provoke me with their idols, with their foreign nonentities?)	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, the summer is at an end, and yet we are not safe!"	20 διηλθεν θερος παρηλθεν αμητος και ημεις ου διεσωθημεν
21 I am broken by the ruin of the daughter of my people. I am disconsolate; horror has seized me.	21 επι συντριμματι θυγατρος λαου μου εσκοτωθην απορια κατισχυσαν με ωδινες ως τικτουσης
22 Is there no balm in Gilead, no physician there? Why grows not new flesh over the wound of the daughter of my people?	22 μη ρητινη ουκ εστιν εν γαλααδ η ιατρος ουκ εστιν εκει δια τι ουκ ανεβη ιασις θυγατρος λαου μου
23 Oh, that my head were a spring of water, my eyes a fountain of tears, That I might weep day and night over the slain of the daughter of my people!	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
