Jeremiah 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.	1 Οι λογοι του Ιερεμιου υιου του Χελκιου, εκ των ιερεων των εν Αναθωθ εν γη Βενιαμιν?
2 The word of the Lord, which came to him in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,	2 προς τον οποιον εγεινε λογος Κυριου εν ταις ημεραις του Ιωσιου υιου του Αμων βασιλεως Ιουδα, κατα το δεκατον τριτον ετος της βασιλειας αυτου.
3 and which came to him in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, even until the transmigration of Jerusalem in the fifth month.	3 Εγεινε και εν ταις ημεραις του Ιωακειμ, υιου του Ιωσιου βασιλεως Ιουδα, μεχρι του τελους του ενδεκατου ετους του Σεδεκιου, υιου του Ιωσιου βασιλεως Ιουδα, μεχρι της αιχμαλωσιας της Ιερουσαλημ, κατα τον πεμπτον μηνα.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:	4 Και λογος Κυριου εγεινε προς εμε λεγων,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. And before you went forth from the womb, I sanctified you. And I made you a prophet to the nations.”	5 Πριν σε μορφωσω εν τη κοιλια, σε εγνωρισα? και πριν εξελθης εκ της μητρας, σε ηγιασα? προφητην εις τα εθνη σε κατεστησα.
6 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am a boy.”	6 Και εγω ειπα, Ω, Κυριε Θεε, ιδου, δεν εξευρω να λαλησω διοτι ειμαι παιδιον.
7 And the Lord said to me: “Do not choose to say, ‘I am a boy.’ For you shall go forth to everyone to whom I will send you. And you shall speak all that I will command you.	7 Ο δε Κυριος ειπε προς εμε, Μη λεγε, ειμαι παιδιον? διοτι θελεις υπαγει προς παντας, προς τους οποιους θελω σε εξαποστειλει? και παντα οσα σε προσταξω, θελεις ειπει.
8 You should not be afraid before their face. For I am with you, so that I may deliver you,” says the Lord.	8 Μη φοβηθης απο προσωπου αυτων? διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου δια να σε ελευθερονω, λεγει Κυριος.
9 And the Lord put forth his hand, and he touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have placed my words in your mouth.	9 Και εξετεινε Κυριος την χειρα αυτου και ηγγισε το στομα μου? και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Ιδου, εθεσα τους λογους μου εν τω στοματι σου.
10 Behold, today I have appointed you over nations and over kingdoms, so that you may root up, and pull down, and destroy, and scatter, and so that you may build and plant.”	10 Ιδε, σε κατεστησα σημερον επι τα εθνη και επι τας βασιλειας, δια να εκριζονης και να κατασκαπτης και να καταστρεφης και να κατεδαφιζης, να ανοικοδομης και να καταφυτευης.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a staff, keeping watch.”	11 Λογος Κυριου εγεινεν ετι προς εμε λεγων, Τι βλεπεις συ, Ιερεμια; Και ειπα, Βλεπω βακτηριαν αμυγδαλινην.
12 And the Lord said to me: “You have seen well. For I will keep watch over my word, so that I may accomplish it.”	12 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Καλως ειδες? διοτι εγω θελω ταχυνει να εκπληρωσω τον λογον μου.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a cooking pot upon a fire, and its face is before the face of the north.”	13 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε εκ δευτερου λεγων, Τι βλεπεις συ; Και ειπα, Βλεπω λεβητα αναβραζοντα? και το προσωπον αυτου ειναι προς βορραν.
14 And the Lord said to me: “From the north, an evil will spread over all the inhabitants of the earth.	14 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Απο βορρα θελει εκχυθη το κακον επι παντας τους κατοικους της γης.
15 For behold, I will call together all the close associates of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord. And they will arrive, and each one of them will place his throne at the entrance to the gates of Jerusalem, and over all its surrounding walls, and over all the cities of Judah.	15 Διοτι ιδου, εγω θελω καλεσει πασας τας οικογενειας των βασιλειων του βορρα, λεγει Κυριος? και θελουσιν ελθει και θελουσι θεσει εκαστος τον θρονον αυτου εν τη εισοδω των πυλων της Ιερουσαλημ και επι παντα τα τειχη αυτης κυκλω και επι πασας τας πολεις του Ιουδα.
16 And I will speak my judgments with them, concerning all the wickedness of those who have forsaken me, and who have offered libations to strange gods, and who have adored the work of their own hands.	16 Και θελω προφερει τας κρισεις μου εναντιον αυτων περι πασης της κακιας αυτων? διοτι με εγκατελιπον και εθυμιασαν εις θεους αλλοτριους και προσεκυνησαν τα εργα των χειρων αυτων.
17 Therefore, you should gird your waist, and rise up, and speak to them everything that I instruct you. You should not have dread before their face. For I will cause you to be unafraid of their countenance.	17 Συ λοιπον περιζωσον την οσφυν σου και σηκωθητι και ειπε προς αυτους παντα οσα εγω σε προσταξω? μη φοβηθης απο προσωπου αυτων, μηποτε ταχα σε αφησω να πεσης εις αμηχανιαν εμπροσθεν αυτων.
18 For certainly, this day, I have made you like a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and a brass wall, over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its leaders, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.	18 Διοτι, ιδου, εγω σε εθεσα σημερον ως πολιν οχυραν και ως στηλην σιδηραν και ως τειχη χαλκινα εναντιον πασης της γης, εναντιον των βασιλεων του Ιουδα, εναντιον των αρχοντων αυτου, εναντιον των ιερεων αυτου και εναντιον του λαου της γης?
19 And they will make war against you, but they will not prevail. For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may free you.”	19 και θελουσι σε πολεμησει αλλα δεν θελουσιν υπερισχυσει εναντιον σου? διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου δια να σε ελευθερονω, λεγει Κυριος.
