Jeremiah 32

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.	1 Ο λογος ο γενομενος προς τον Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου εν τω δεκατω ετει του Σεδεκιου βασιλεως του Ιουδα, το οποιον ητο το δεκατον ογδοον ετος του Ναβουχοδονοσορ.
2 It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.	2 Και τοτε το στρατευμα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος επολιορκει την Ιερουσαλημ? και ο Ιερεμιας ο προφητης ητο κεκλεισμενος εν τη αυλη της φυλακης, της εν τω οικω του βασιλεως του Ιουδα.
3 For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it?	3 Διοτι Σεδεκιας ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα ειχε κλεισει αυτον, λεγων, Δια τι συ προφητευεις λεγων, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος, Ιδου, εγω θελω παραδωσει την πολιν ταυτην εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος και θελει κυριευσει αυτην?
4 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.	4 και Σεδεκιας ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα δεν θελει εκφυγει εκ της χειρος των Χαλδαιων, αλλα θελει βεβαιως παραδοθη εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος και θελει λαλησει μετ' αυτου στομα προς στομα και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου θελουσιν ιδει τους οφθαλμους αυτου?
5 And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’ ”	5 και θελει φερει τον Σεδεκιαν εις την Βαβυλωνα και εκει θελει εισθαι, εωσου επισκεφθω αυτον, λεγει Κυριος? και εαν πολεμησητε τους Χαλδαιους, δεν θελετε ευδοκιμησει.
6 And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:	6 Και ειπεν ο Ιερεμιας, Εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,
7 Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.’	7 Ιδου, Αναμεηλ, ο υιος του Σαλλουμ του θειου σου, θελει ελθει προς σε, λεγων, Αγορασον εις σεαυτον τον αγρον μου τον εν Αναθωθ? διοτι εις σε ανηκει το δικαιωμα εξαγορας δια να αγορασης αυτον.
8 And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.	8 Και ηλθε προς εμε Αναμεηλ, ο υιος του θειου μου, εις την αυλην της φυλακης, κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, και ειπε προς εμε, Αγορασον, παρακαλω, τον αγρον μου τον εν Αναθωθ, τον εν τη γη Βενιαμιν? διοτι εις σε ανηκει το δικαιωμα της κληρονομιας και εις σε η εξαγορα? αγορασον αυτον εις σεαυτον. Τοτε εγνωρισα οτι λογος Κυριου ητο ουτος.
9 And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.	9 Και ηγορασα παρα του Αναμεηλ, υιου του θειου μου, τον αγρον τον εν Αναθωθ και εζυγισα προς αυτον τα χρηματα, δεκαεπτα σικλους αργυριου.
10 And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.	10 Και εγραψα το συμφωνητικον και εσφραγισα και εβαλον μαρτυρας και εζυγισα τα χρηματα εν τη πλαστιγγι.
11 And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.	11 Και ελαβον το συμφωνητικον της αγορας, το εσφραγισμενον κατα τον νομον και την συνηθειαν και το ανοικτον?
12 And I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.	12 και εδωκα το συμφωνητικον της αγορας εις τον Βαρουχ τον υιον του Νηριου υιου του Μαασιου, εμπροσθεν του Αναμεηλ υιου του θειου μου και εμπροσθεν των μαρτυρων των υπογραψαντων το συμφωνητικον της αγορας, εμπροσθεν παντων των Ιουδαιων των καθημενων εν τη αυλη της φυλακης.
13 And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:	13 Και προσεταξα τον Βαρουχ εμπροσθεν αυτων, λεγων,
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’	14 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Λαβε τα συμφωνητικα ταυτα, το συμφωνητικον τουτο της αγορας και το εσφραγισμενον και το συμφωνητικον τουτο το ανοικτον? και θες αυτα εις αγγειον πηλινον, δια να διαμενωσιν ημερας πολλας.
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’	15 Διοτι ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Οικιαι και αγροι και αμπελοι θελουσιν αποκτηθη παλιν εν ταυτη τη γη.
16 And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:	16 Αφου δε εδωκα το συμφωνητικον, της αγορας εις τον Βαρουχ τον υιον του Νηριου προσηυχηθην εις τον Κυριον, λεγων,
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.	17 Ω Κυριε Θεε? ιδου, συ εκαμες τον ουρανον και την γην εν τη δυναμει σου τη μεγαλη και εν τω βραχιονι σου τω εξηπλωμενω? δεν ειναι ουδεν πραγμα δυσκολον εις σε.
18 You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!	18 Καμνεις ελεος εις χιλιαδας και ανταποδιδεις την ανομιαν των πατερων εις τον κολπον των τεκνων αυτων μετ' αυτους? ο Θεος ο μεγας, ο ισχυρος, Κυριος των δυναμεων το ονομα αυτου,
19 You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.	19 μεγας εν βουλη και δυνατος εν εργοις? διοτι οι οφθαλμοι σου ειναι ανεωγμενοι επι πασας τας οδους των υιων των ανθρωπων, δια να δωσης εις εκαστον κατα τας οδους αυτου και κατα τον καρπον των εργων αυτου?
20 You caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.	20 οστις εκαμες σημεια και τερατα εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, γνωστα εως της ημερας ταυτης, και εν Ισραηλ και εν ανθρωποις? και εκαμες εις σεαυτον ονομα, ως την ημεραν ταυτην.
21 And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.	21 και εξηγαγες τον λαον σου τον Ισραηλ εκ γης Αιγυπτου με σημεια και με τερατα και με κραταιαν χειρα και με βραχιονα εξηπλωμενον και με τρομον μεγαν?
22 And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.	22 και εδωκας εις αυτους την γην ταυτην, την οποιαν ωμοσας προς τους πατερας αυτων να δωσης εις αυτους, γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι?
23 And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to them.	23 και εισηλθον και εκληρονομησαν αυτην? αλλα δεν υπηκουσαν εις την φωνην σου ουδε περιεπατησαν εν τω νομω σου? δεν εκαμον ουδεν εκ παντων οσα προσεταξας εις αυτους να καμωσι? δια τουτο επεφερες επ' αυτους απαν τουτο το κακον.
24 Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.	24 Ιδου, τα χαρακωματα εφθασαν εις την πολιν, δια να κυριευσωσιν αυτην? και η πολις εδοθη εις την χειρα των Χαλδαιων των πολεμουντων κατ' αυτης, εξ αιτιας της μαχαιρας και της πεινης και του λοιμου? και ο, τι ελαλησας, εγεινε? και ιδου, βλεπεις?
25 So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”	25 και συ ειπας προς εμε, Κυριε Θεε, Αγορασον εις σεαυτον τον αγρον δι' αργυριου και παραστησον μαρτυρας? και η πολις εδοθη εις την χειρα των Χαλδαιων.
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:	26 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Ιερεμιαν, λεγων,
27 “Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?	27 Ιδου, εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος πασης σαρκος? ειναι τι πραγμα δυσκολον εις εμε;
28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will capture it.	28 δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, θελω παραδωσει την πολιν ταυτην εις την χειρα των Χαλδαιων και εις την χειρα του Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, και θελει κυριευσει αυτην?
29 And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.	29 και οι Χαλδαιοι οι πολεμουντες κατα της πολεως ταυτης θελουσιν ελθει και βαλει πυρ εις την πολιν ταυτην και κατακαυσει αυτην και τας οικιας, επι τα δωματα των οποιων εθυμιαζον εις τον Βααλ και εκαμνον σπονδας εις αλλους θεους, δια να με παροργισωσι.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.	30 Διοτι οι υιοι Ισραηλ και οι υιοι Ιουδα κακον μονον εκαμνον ενωπιον μου εκ νεοτητος αυτων? διοτι οι υιοι Ισραηλ αλλο δεν εκαμνον, παρα να με παροργιζωσι δια των εργων των χειρων αυτων, λεγει Κυριος.
31 For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,	31 Διοτι η πολις αυτη εσταθη εις εμε ερεθισμος της οργης μου και του θυμου μου, αφ' ης ημερας ωκοδομησαν αυτην εως της ημερας ταυτης, δια να απορριψω αυτην απ' εμπροσθεν μου,
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.	32 ενεκεν πασης της κακιας των υιων Ισραηλ και των υιων Ιουδα, την οποιαν εκαμον δια να με παροργισωσιν, αυτοι, οι βασιλεις αυτων, οι αρχοντες αυτων, οι ιερεις αυτων και οι προφηται αυτων και οι ανδρες Ιουδα και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ.
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.	33 Και εστρεψαν νωτα προς εμε και ουχι προσωπον? και εδιδασκον αυτους εγειρομενος πρωι και διδασκων, πλην δεν ηκουσαν, ωστε να λαβωσι παιδειαν?
34 And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it.	34 αλλ' εθεσαν τα βδελυγματα αυτων εν τω οικω, εφ' ον εκληθη το ονομα μου, δια να μιανωσιν αυτον.
35 And they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.	35 Και ωκοδομησαν τους υψηλους τοπους του Βααλ τους εν τη φαραγγι του υιου Εννομ, δια να διαπερασωσι τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων δια του πυρος εις τον Μολοχ? το οποιον δεν προσεταξα εις αυτους ουδε ανεβη επι την καρδιαν μου, να πραξωσι το βδελυγμα τουτο, ωστε να καμωσι τον Ιουδαν να αμαρτανη.
36 And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:	36 Και τωρα δια ταυτα ουτω λεγει Κυριος, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, περι της πολεως ταυτης, περι ης υμεις λεγετε, Θελει παραδοθη εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος, δια μαχαιρας και δια πεινης και δια λοιμου?
37 Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.	37 ιδου, θελω συναξει αυτους εκ παντων των τοπων, οπου εδιωξα αυτους εν τη οργη μου και εν τω θυμω μου και εν τη μεγαλη αγανακτησει μου? και θελω επιστρεψει αυτους εις τον τοπον τουτον και θελω κατοικισει αυτους εν ασφαλεια?
38 And they will be my people, and I will be their God.	38 και θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων?
39 And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.	39 και θελω δωσει εις αυτους καρδιαν μιαν και οδον μιαν, δια να με φοβωνται πασας τας ημερας, δια το καλον αυτων και των τεκνων αυτων μετ' αυτους?
40 And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.	40 και θελω καμει διαθηκην αιωνιον προς αυτους, οτι δεν θελω αποστρεψει απ' οπισω αυτων, δια να αγαθοποιω αυτους? και θελω δωσει τον φοβον μου εις τας καρδιας αυτων, δια να μη αποστατησωσιν απ' εμου?
41 And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole soul.	41 και θελω ευφραινεσθαι επ' αυτους εις το να αγαθοποιω αυτους, και θελω φυτευσει αυτους εν τη γη ταυτη κατα αληθειαν, εξ ολης μου της καρδιας και εξ ολης μου της ψυχης.
42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.	42 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Καθως επεφερα επι τουτον τον λαον παντα ταυτα τα μεγαλα κακα, ουτω θελω επιφερει επ' αυτους παντα τα αγαθα, τα οποια εγω ελαλησα περι αυτων.
43 And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.	43 Και θελουσιν αποκτηθη αγροι εν τη γη ταυτη, περι της οποιας σεις λεγετε, Ειναι ερημος χωρις ανθρωπου η κτηνους? παρεδοθη εις την χειρα των Χαλδαιων.
44 Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”	44 Θελουσιν αγοραζει αγρους δι' αργυριου και υπογραφει συμφωνητικα και σφραγιζει και θελουσι παριστανει μαρτυρας, εν τη γη Βενιαμιν και εν τοις περιξ Ιερουσαλημ και εν ταις πολεσι του Ιουδα και εν ταις πολεσι της ορεινης και εν ταις πολεσι της πεδινης και εν ταις πολεσι του νοτου? διοτι θελω επιστρεψει την αιχμαλωσιαν αυτων, λεγει Κυριος.
