Jeremiah 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 “Who will provide water for my head, and a fount of tears for my eyes? And then I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.	1 Ειθε να ητο η κεφαλη μου υδατα και οι οφθαλμοι μου πηγη δακρυων, δια να κλαιω ημεραν και νυκτα τους πεφονευμενους της θυγατρος του λαου μου.
2 Who will provide me, in the wilderness, with a lodging place along the road? And then I will forsake my people, and withdraw from them. For they are all adulterers, a union of transgressors.	2 Ειθε να ειχον εν τη ερημω καταλυμα οδοιπορων, δια να εγκαταλειψω τον λαον μου και να απελθω απ' αυτων? διοτι παντες ειναι μοιχοι, αθροισμα απιστων.
3 And they have bent their tongue, like a bow, to send forth lies and not the truth. They have been strengthened upon the earth. And they have gone from one evil to another. But they have not known me, says the Lord.	3 Ενετειναν και την γλωσσαν αυτων ως τοξον ψευδους? και ισχυσαν επι της γης, ουχι υπερ της αληθειας? διοτι προχωρουσιν απο κακιας εις κακιαν και εμε δεν γνωριζουσι, λεγει Κυριος.
4 Let each one guard himself against his neighbor, and let him have no trust in any brother of his. For every brother will utterly overthrow, and every friend will advance deceitfully.	4 Φυλαττεσθε εκαστος απο του πλησιον αυτου και επ' ουδενα αδελφον μη πεποιθατε? διοτι πας αδελφος θελει παντοτε υποσκελιζει και πας πλησιον θελει περιπατει εν δολιοτητι.
5 And a man will deride his brother, and they will not speak the truth. For they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they have labored to commit iniquity.	5 Και θελουσιν απατα εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου και δεν θελουσι λαλει την αληθειαν? εδιδαξαν την γλωσσαν αυτων να λαλη ψευδη, αποκαμνουσι πραττοντες ανομιαν.
6 Your habitation is in the midst of deceit. In their deceitfulness, they have refused to know me, says the Lord.”	6 Η κατοικια σου ειναι εν μεσω δολιοτητος? εν τη δολιοτητι αρνουνται να με γνωρισωσι, λεγει Κυριος.
7 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will refine them, and I will test them. For what else can I do before the face of the daughter of my people?	7 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Ιδου, θελω βαλει αυτους εν χωνευτηριω και θελω δοκιμασει αυτους? διοτι πως θελω καμει ενεκεν της θυγατρος του λαου μου;
8 Their tongue is a wounding arrow; it has spoken deceit. With his mouth, he speaks peace with his friend, and then he secretly lies in ambush for him.	8 Η γλωσσα αυτων ειναι βελος εξακοντιζομενον? λαλει δολια? εκαστος λαλει ειρηνικα δια του στοματος αυτου προς τον πλησιον αυτου, πλην εν τη καρδια αυτου στηνει ενεδραν κατ' αυτου.
9 Shall I not visit upon them concerning these things, says the Lord? Or shall my soul not take vengeance on a nation of this kind?	9 Δεν θελω επισκεφθη αυτους δια ταυτα; λεγει Κυριος? η ψυχη μου δεν θελει εκδικηθη εναντιον εθνους, τοιουτου;
10 I will take up weeping and lamentation over the mountains, and mourning over the beautiful places in the desert. For they have been scorched because no man is passing through them. And they have not heard the voice of any occupant. From the birds of the air, even to the cattle, they have migrated and withdrawn.	10 Δια τα ορη θελω αναλαβει κλαυθμον και θρηνον και δια τας βοσκας της ερημου οδυρμον, διοτι ηφανισθησαν, ωστε δεν υπαρχει ανθρωπος διαβαινων, ουδε ακουεται φωνη ποιμνιου? απο του πτηνου του ουρανου εως του κτηνους, εφυγον, απηλθον.
11 And I will make Jerusalem into piles of sand and into a lair for serpents. And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, so much so that there will be no inhabitant.	11 Και θελω καταστησει την Ιερουσαλημ εις σωρους, κατοικιαν θωων? και τας πολεις του Ιουδα θελω καμει ερημωσιν, ωστε να μη υπαρχη ο κατοικων.
12 Who is the wise man who understands this, and to whom a word from the mouth of the Lord may be given, so that he may announce this: why the land has perished, and has been scorched like a desert, so much so that no one passes through it?”	12 Τις ειναι ο ανθρωπος ο σοφος, οστις δυναται να εννοηση τουτο; και προς τον οποιον ελαλησε το στομα του Κυριου, δια να αναγγειλη αυτο, δια τι η γη εχαθη, ηφανισθη ως ερημος, ωστε να μη υπαρχη ο διαβαινων;
13 And the Lord said: “It is because they have abandoned my law, which I gave to them, and they have not listened to my voice, and they have not walked by it.	13 Και ειπε Κυριος, διοτι εγκατελιπον τον νομον μου, τον οποιον εθεσα εμπροσθεν αυτων και δεν υπηκουσαν εις την φωνην μου και δεν περιεπατησαν εν αυτω?
14 And they have gone after the depravity of their own heart, and after Baal, which they learned from their fathers.”	14 αλλα περιεπατησαν οπισω της ορεξεως της καρδιας αυτων και οπισω των Βααλειμ, τα οποια οι πατερες αυτων εδιδαξαν αυτους?
15 For this reason, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed this people with absinthe, and I will give them the water of gall to drink.	15 δια τουτο, ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ιδου, εγω θελω θρεψει αυτους, τον λαον τουτον? με αψινθιον και υδωρ χολης θελω ποτισει αυτους?
16 And I will disperse them among nations, which they and their fathers have not known. And I will send the sword after them, until they are consumed.”	16 και θελω διασκορπισει αυτους εν τοις εθνεσι, τα οποια αυτοι και οι πατερες αυτων δεν εγνωρισαν? και θελω αποστειλει την μαχαιραν οπισω αυτων, εωσου αναλωσω αυτους.
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Consider and call upon the women mourners, and let them approach. And send to those women who are wise, and let them hurry.	17 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων. Συλλογισθητε και καλεσατε τας θρηνουσας να ελθωσι? και αποστειλατε δια τας σοφας να ελθωσι?
18 ‘Let them hasten to take up a lamentation over us. Let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run with water.’	18 και ας σπευσωσι και ας αναλαβωσιν οδυρμον περι ημων και ας καταβιβασωσιν οι οφθαλμοι ημων δακρυα και τα βλεφαρα ημων ας ρευσωσιν υδατα.
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard from Zion: ‘How is it that we have been devastated and greatly confounded? Our tabernacles have been thrown down because we have forsaken the land.’ ”	19 Διοτι φωνη θρηνου ηκουσθη απο Σιων, Πως απωλεσθημεν? κατησχυνθημεν σφοδρα, διοτι εγκατελιπομεν την γην, διοτι αι κατοικιαι ημων εξερριψαν ημας.
20 “Therefore, listen, O women, to the word of the Lord! And let your ears take up the word of his mouth. And teach your daughters to lament. And let each one teach her neighbor to mourn:	20 Ακουσατε λοιπον, γυναικες, τον λογον του Κυριου, και ας δεχθη το ωτιον σας τον λογον του στοματος αυτου, και διδαξατε τας θυγατερας σας οδυρμον και εκαστη την πλησιον αυτης θρηνον.
21 ‘For death has climbed through our windows. It has entered our houses to perish the little children from the outdoors, the youths from the streets.’ ”	21 Διοτι θανατος ανεβη δια των θυριδων ημων, εισηλθεν εις τα παλατια ημων, δια να εκκοψη τα νηπια απο των οδων τους νεους απο των πλατειων.
22 “Speak: Thus says the Lord: And the corpses of men will fall like manure over the face of the countryside, and like hay behind the back of the reaper, and there will be no one to gather it.”	22 Ειπε, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Και τα πτωματα των ανθρωπων θελουσι ριφθη ως κοπρια επι προσωπον αγρου και ως δραγμα οπισω θεριστου, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο συναγων.
23 Thus says the Lord: “The wise man should not glory in his wisdom, and the strong man should not glory in his strength, and the rich man should not glory in his riches.	23 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ας μη καυχαται ο σοφος εις την σοφιαν αυτου, και ας μη καυχαται ο δυνατος εις την δυναμιν αυτου, ας μη καυχαται ο πλουσιος εις τον πλουτον αυτου?
24 But he who glories should glory in this: to know me and to know me well. For I am the Lord, who accomplishes mercy and judgment and justice upon the earth. For these things are pleasing to me, says the Lord.	24 αλλ' ο καυχωμενος ας καυχαται εις τουτο, οτι εννοει και γνωριζει εμε, οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο ποιων ελεος, κρισιν και δικαιοσυνην επι της γης? επειδη εις ταυτα ευαρεστουμαι, λεγει Κυριος.
25 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all who are uncircumcised:	25 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω καμει επισκεψιν επι παντας τους περιτετμημενους μετα των απεριτμητων?
26 upon Egypt, and upon Judah, and upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all who have shaved off their hair, living in the desert. For all the nations are uncircumcised in body, but all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”	26 επι την Αιγυπτον και επι τον Ιουδαν και επι τον Εδωμ και επι τους υιους Αμμων και επι τον Μωαβ και επι παντας τους περικειροντας την κομην, τους κατοικουντας εν τη ερημω? διοτι παντα τα εθνη ειναι απεριτμητα και πας ο οικος Ισραηλ απεριτμητος την καρδιαν.
