2 ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και λαλησεις προς ανδρας ιουδα και προς τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ	2 'Hear the terms of this covenant; tel them to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος ουκ ακουσεται των λογων της διαθηκης ταυτης	3 Tel them, "Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: Cursed be anyone who will not listen to the terms of thiscovenant
4 ης ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν υμων εν ημερα η ανηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εκ καμινου της σιδηρας λεγων ακουσατε της φωνης μου και ποιησατε παντα οσα εαν εντειλωμαι υμιν και εσεσθε μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι υμιν εις θεον	4 which I ordained for your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of that iron-foundry. Listen tomy voice, I told them, carry out al my orders, then you wil be my people and I shal be your God,
5 οπως στησω τον ορκον μου ον ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν υμων του δουναι αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι καθως η ημερα αυτη και απεκριθην και ειπα γενοιτο κυριε	5 so that I may fulfil the oath I swore to your ancestors, that I may give them a country flowing with milkand honey, as is the case today." ' I replied, 'So be it, Yahweh!'
6 και ειπεν κυριος προς με αναγνωθι τους λογους τουτους εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εξωθεν ιερουσαλημ λεγων ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και ποιησατε αυτους	6 Then Yahweh said to me, 'Proclaim al these terms in the towns of Judah and in the streets ofJerusalem, saying, "Listen to the terms of this covenant and obey them.
7 -	7 For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly warned them, and have persistently warnedthem until today, saying: Listen to my voice.
8 και ουκ εποιησαν	8 But they did not listen, did not pay attention; instead, each followed his own stubborn and wickedinclinations. And against them, in consequence, I put into action the words of this covenant which I had orderedthem to obey and which they had not obeyed." '
9 και ειπεν κυριος προς με ευρεθη συνδεσμος εν ανδρασιν ιουδα και εν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ	9 Yahweh said to me, 'Plainly there is conspiracy among the people of Judah and the citizens ofJerusalem.
10 επεστραφησαν επι τας αδικιας των πατερων αυτων των προτερον οι ουκ ηθελον εισακουσαι των λογων μου και ιδου αυτοι βαδιζουσιν οπισω θεων αλλοτριων του δουλευειν αυτοις και διεσκεδασαν οικος ισραηλ και οικος ιουδα την διαθηκην μου ην διεθεμην προς τους πατερας αυτων	10 They have reverted to the sins of their ancestors who refused to listen to my words: they too arefol owing other gods and serving them. The House of Israel and the House of Judah have broken my covenantwhich I made with their ancestors.
11 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επαγω επι τον λαον τουτον κακα εξ ων ου δυνησονται εξελθειν εξ αυτων και κεκραξονται προς με και ουκ εισακουσομαι αυτων	11 And so, Yahweh says this, "I shal now bring a disaster on them which they cannot escape; they willcal to me for help, but I shal not listen to them.
12 και πορευσονται πολεις ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και κεκραξονται προς τους θεους οις αυτοι θυμιωσιν αυτοις μη σωσουσιν αυτους εν καιρω των κακων αυτων	12 The towns of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem wil then go and cal for help to the gods to whomthey burn incense, but these will be no help at al to them in their time of distress!
13 οτι κατ' αριθμον των πολεων σου ησαν θεοι σου ιουδα και κατ' αριθμον εξοδων της ιερουσαλημ εταξατε βωμους θυμιαν τη βααλ	13 "For you have as many gods as you have towns, Judah! You have built as many altars to Shame, asmany incense altars to Baal, as Jerusalem has streets!
14 και συ μη προσευχου περι του λαου τουτου και μη αξιου περι αυτων εν δεησει και προσευχη οτι ουκ εισακουσομαι εν τω καιρω εν ω επικαλουνται με εν καιρω κακωσεως αυτων	14 "You, for your part, must not intercede for this people, nor raise either plea or prayer on their behalf, for I wil not listen when their distress forces them to cal to me for help."
15 τι η ηγαπημενη εν τω οικω μου εποιησεν βδελυγμα μη ευχαι και κρεα αγια αφελουσιν απο σου τας κακιας σου η τουτοις διαφευξη	15 'What is my beloved doing in my house? She has achieved her wicked plans. Can vows andconsecrated meat turn disaster from you for you to be so happy?
16 ελαιαν ωραιαν ευσκιον τω ειδει εκαλεσεν κυριος το ονομα σου εις φωνην περιτομης αυτης ανηφθη πυρ επ' αυτην μεγαλη η θλιψις επι σε ηχρεωθησαν οι κλαδοι αυτης	16 "Green olive-tree covered in fine fruit", was Yahweh's name for you. With a shattering noise he hasset fire to it, its branches are broken.'
17 και κυριος ο καταφυτευσας σε ελαλησεν επι σε κακα αντι της κακιας οικου ισραηλ και οικου ιουδα οτι εποιησαν εαυτοις του παροργισαι με εν τω θυμιαν αυτους τη βααλ	17 And Yahweh Sabaoth, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you because of the evil the Houseof Israel and the House of Judah have done, provoking me by burning incense to Baal.
18 κυριε γνωρισον μοι και γνωσομαι τοτε ειδον τα επιτηδευματα αυτων	18 Yahweh informed me and I knew it; you then revealed their scheming to me.
19 εγω δε ως αρνιον ακακον αγομενον του θυεσθαι ουκ εγνων επ' εμε ελογισαντο λογισμον πονηρον λεγοντες δευτε και εμβαλωμεν ξυλον εις τον αρτον αυτου και εκτριψωμεν αυτον απο γης ζωντων και το ονομα αυτου ου μη μνησθη ετι	19 I for my part was like a trustful lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, not knowing the schemes theywere plotting against me, 'Let us destroy the tree in its strength, let us cut him off from the land of the living, sothat his name may no longer be remembered!'
20 κυριε κρινων δικαια δοκιμαζων νεφρους και καρδιας ιδοιμι την παρα σου εκδικησιν εξ αυτων οτι προς σε απεκαλυψα το δικαιωμα μου	20 Yahweh Sabaoth, whose judgement is upright, tester of motives and thoughts, I shal see yourvengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
21 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος επι τους ανδρας αναθωθ τους ζητουντας την ψυχην μου τους λεγοντας ου μη προφητευσης επι τω ονοματι κυριου ει δε μη αποθανη εν ταις χερσιν ημων	21 Against the people of Anathoth who are determined to kil me and say to me, 'Do not prophesy in thename of Yahweh or you will die at our hands!'
22 ιδου εγω επισκεψομαι επ' αυτους οι νεανισκοι αυτων εν μαχαιρα αποθανουνται και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων τελευτησουσιν εν λιμω	22 Yahweh says this, 'I am about to punish them. Their young people will die by the sword, their sonsand daughters by famine.
23 και εγκαταλειμμα ουκ εσται αυτων οτι επαξω κακα επι τους κατοικουντας εν αναθωθ εν ενιαυτω επισκεψεως αυτων	23 Not one wil be left when I bring disaster on the people of Anathoth, when the year for punishing themcomes.'
