ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 3

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Λεγουσιν, Εαν τις αποβαλη την γυναικα αυτου και αναχωρηση απο αυτου και γεινη αλλου ανδρος, θελει επιστρεψει παλιν εκεινος προς αυτην; η γη εκεινη δεν θελει ολως μιανθη; συ επορνευσας μεν μετα πολλων εραστων? επιστρεψον δε παλιν προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.	1 “It is commonly said: ‘If a man has divorced his wife, and she departs from him, she will marry another man.’ So why would he return to her again? Is not that woman polluted and defiled? But you have fornicated yourself with many lovers. Even so, return to me, says the Lord, and I will accept you.
2 Σηκωσον τους οφθαλμους σου προς τους υψηλους τοπους, και ιδε που δεν εσελγησας. Εν ταις οδοις εκαθησας δι' αυτους, ως ο Αραψ εν τη ερημω, και εμιανας την γην με τας πορνειας σου και με την κακιαν σου.	2 Lift your eyes straight up, and see where you did not debase yourself. You were sitting in the roadways, waiting for them, like a robber in the wilderness. And you have polluted the land by your fornications and by your wickedness.
3 Δια τουτο εκρατηθησαν αι βροχαι, και δεν εγεινε βροχη οψιμος? και συ ειχες το μετωπον της πορνης, απεβαλες πασαν εντροπην.	3 For this reason, the rain showers were withheld, and there were no late season rains. You made your face like that of a promiscuous woman; you were not willing to blush.
4 Δεν θελεις κραζει απο του νυν προς εμε, Πατερ μου, συ εισαι ο οδηγος της νεοτητος μου;	4 Therefore, at least from this moment on, call out to me: ‘You are my father, the guide of my virginity.’
5 Θελει διατηρει την οργην αυτου διαπαντος; θελει φυλαττει αυτην εως τελους; ιδου, ελαλησας και επραξας τα κακα, οσον ηδυνηθης.	5 Why should you be angry unceasingly? And will you continue in this to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil, for you were able to do so.”
6 Ο Κυριος ειπεν ετι προς εμε εν ταις ημεραις Ιωσιου του βασιλεως, Ειδες εκεινα, τα οποια Ισραηλ η αποστατις επραξεν; υπηγεν επι παν υψηλον ορος και υποκατω παντος πρασινου δενδρου και επορνευσεν εκει.	6 And, in the days of king Josiah, the Lord said to me: “Have you not seen what the apostate Israel has done? She has brought herself up to every lofty mountain, and she has lain down under every leafy tree, and she has committed fornication there.
7 Και αφου επραξε παντα ταυτα, ειπα, Επιστρεψον προς εμε? και δεν επεστρεψε. Και ειδε τουτο Ιουδας η απιστος αυτης αδελφη.	7 And when she had done all these things, I said: ‘Return to me.’ But she did not return. And her deceitful sister Judah saw this:
8 Και ειδον οτι ενω επειδη Ισραηλ η αποστατις εμοιχευσεν εγω απεπεμψα αυτην και εδωκα εις αυτην το γραμμα του διαζυγιου αυτης, Ιουδας η απιστος αυτης αδελφη δεν εφοβηθη αλλ' υπηγε και επορνευσε και αυτη.	8 that because the apostate Israel had committed adultery, I had dismissed her and had given her a bill of divorce. Yet her deceitful sister Judah was not afraid. But she, too, went and committed fornication herself.
9 Και με την διαφημισιν της πορνειας αυτης εμιανε τον τοπον και εμοιχευσε μετα των λιθων και μετα των ξυλων.	9 And by the act of her fornication, she defiled the land. For she committed adultery with that which is stone and wood.
10 Και εν πασι τουτοις Ιουδας η απιστος αυτης αδελφη δεν επεστρεψε προς εμε εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτης αλλα ψευδως, λεγει Κυριος.	10 And after all these things, her deceitful sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but with lies, says the Lord.”
11 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Ισραηλ η αποστατις εδικαιωσεν εαυτην περισσοτερον παρα Ιουδας η απιστος.	11 And the Lord said to me: “The apostate Israel has justified her own soul by comparing herself to the deceitful Judah.
12 Υπαγε και διακηρυξον τους λογους τουτους προς τον βορραν και ειπε, Επιστρεψον, Ισραηλ η αποστατις, λεγει Κυριος, και δεν θελω καμει να πεση η οργη μου εφ' υμας? διοτι ελεημων ειμαι, λεγει Κυριος? δεν θελω φυλαττει την οργην διαπαντος.	12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and you shall say: Return, O apostate Israel, says the Lord. For I will not avert my face from you. For I am holy, says the Lord, and I will not be angry forever.
13 Μονον γνωρισον την ανομιαν σου, οτι ημαρτησας εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου, και διηρεσας τας οδους σου εις τους ξενους υποκατω παντος πρασινου δενδρου, και δεν υπηκουσατε εις την φωνην μου, λεγει Κυριος.	13 So then, truly acknowledge your iniquity, that you have betrayed the Lord your God, and that you have spread your ways to strangers, under every leafy tree, and that you have not listened to my voice, says the Lord.
14 Επιστρεψατε, υιοι αποσταται, λεγει Κυριος, αν και εγω σας απεστραφην? και θελω σας λαβει ενα εκ πολεως και δυο εκ συγγενειας και θελω σας εισαξει εις την Σιων?	14 Convert, O rebellious sons, says the Lord. For I am your leader. And so, I will take you, one from a city, and two from a family, and I will lead you into Zion.
15 και θελω σας δωσει ποιμενας κατα την καρδιαν μου και θελουσι σας ποιμανει εν γνωσει και συνεσει.	15 And I will give you pastors according to my own heart. And they will feed you with knowledge and doctrine.
16 Και οταν πληθυνθητε και αυξηνθητε επι της γης, εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις, λεγει Κυριος, δεν θελουσι προφερει πλεον, Η κιβωτος της διαθηκης του Κυριου, ουδε θελει αναβη επι καρδιαν αυτων, ουδε θελουσιν ενθυμηθη αυτην, ουδε θελουσιν επισκεφθη, ουδε θελει κατασκευασθη πλεον.	16 And when you have been multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will no longer say: ‘The Ark of the covenant of the Lord!’ And it will not enter into the heart, and they will not call it to mind. It will neither be visited, nor made use of, any longer.
17 Εν εκεινω τω καιρω θελουσιν ονομασει την Ιερουσαλημ? θρονον του Κυριου? και παντα τα εθνη θελουσι συναχθη προς αυτην εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου, προς την Ιερουσαλημ? και δεν θελουσι περιπατησει πλεον οπισω της ορεξεως της πονηρας αυτων καρδιας.	17 In that time, Jerusalem will be called: ‘The Throne of the Lord.’ And all the nations will be gathered to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem. And they will not walk after the depravity of their own most wicked heart.
18 Εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ο οικος Ιουδα θελει περιπατησει μετα του οικου Ισραηλ, και θελουσιν ελθει ομου απο της γης του βορρα, εις την γην την οποιαν εκληροδοτησα εις τους πατερας σας.	18 In those days, the house of Judah will go to the house of Israel, and they will come from the land of the north, at the same time, to the land that I gave to your fathers.
19 Αλλ' εγω ειπα, Πως θελω σε καταταξει μεταξυ των τεκνων και δωσει εις σε γην επιθυμητην, ενδοξον κληρονομιαν των δυναμεων των εθνων; Και ειπα, Συ θελεις με κραξει, Πατερ μου? και δεν θελεις αποστρεψει απο οπισθεν μου.	19 But I said: How shall I place you among the sons, and distribute to you a desirable land, the preeminent inheritance of the host of the Gentiles? And I said: You will call me Father, and you will not cease to walk after me.
20 Βεβαιως καθως γυνη αθετει εις τον ανδρα αυτης, ουτως ηθετησατε εις εμε, οικος Ισραηλ, λεγει Κυριος.	20 But, in the same way that a woman spurns her lover, so also has the house of Israel spurned me, says the Lord.”
21 Φωνη ηκουσθη επι των υψηλων τοπων, κλαυθμος και δεησεις των υιων Ισραηλ? διοτι διεστρεψαν την οδον αυτων, ελησμονησαν Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων.	21 A voice has been heard in the highways, the weeping and wailing of the sons of Israel. For they have made their own ways sinful; they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 Επιστρεψατε, υιοι αποσταται, και θελω ιατρευσει τας αποστασιας σας. Ιδου, ημεις ερχομεθα προς σε? διοτι συ εισαι Κυριος ο Θεος ημων.	22 “Convert, O rebellious sons! And I will heal your rebelliousness.” “Behold, we are returning to you. For you are the Lord our God!
23 Τωοντι εις ματην ελπιζεται σωτηρια εκ των λοφων και εκ του πληθους των ορεων? μονον εν Κυριω τω Θεω ημων ειναι η σωτηρια του Ισραηλ.	23 Truly, the hills were liars, with the multitude of the mountains. Truly, the salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.
24 Διοτι η αισχυνη κατεφαγε τον κοπον των πατερων ημων εκ της νεοτητος ημων? τα ποιμνια αυτων και τας αγελας αυτων, τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων.	24 Confusion has devoured the labor of our fathers, from our youth, with their flocks and their herds, with their sons and their daughters.
25 Εν τη αισχυνη ημων κατακειμεθα, και η ατιμια ημων καλυπτει ημας? διοτι ημαρτησαμεν εις Κυριον τον Θεον ημων, ημεις και οι πατερες ημων, εκ της νεοτητος ημων εως της ημερας ταυτης, και δεν υπηκουσαμεν εις την φωνην Κυριου του Θεου ημων.	25 We will sleep in our confusion, and our disgrace will cover us. For we have sinned against the Lord our God: we and our fathers, from our youth, even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.”
