ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 18

LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ιερεμιαν λεγων	1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 αναστηθι και καταβηθι εις οικον του κεραμεως και εκει ακουση τους λογους μου	2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 και κατεβην εις τον οικον του κεραμεως και ιδου αυτος εποιει εργον επι των λιθων	3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 και διεπεσεν το αγγειον ο αυτος εποιει εν ταις χερσιν αυτου και παλιν αυτος εποιησεν αυτο αγγειον ετερον καθως ηρεσεν ενωπιον αυτου του ποιησαι	4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 ει καθως ο κεραμευς ουτος ου δυνησομαι του ποιησαι υμας οικος ισραηλ ιδου ως ο πηλος του κεραμεως υμεις εστε εν ταις χερσιν μου	6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
7 περας λαλησω επι εθνος η επι βασιλειαν του εξαραι αυτους και του απολλυειν	7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 και επιστραφη το εθνος εκεινο απο παντων των κακων αυτων και μετανοησω περι των κακων ων ελογισαμην του ποιησαι αυτοις	8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 και περας λαλησω επι εθνος και επι βασιλειαν του ανοικοδομεισθαι και του καταφυτευεσθαι	9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 και ποιησωσιν τα πονηρα εναντιον μου του μη ακουειν της φωνης μου και μετανοησω περι των αγαθων ων ελαλησα του ποιησαι αυτοις	10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11 και νυν ειπον προς ανδρας ιουδα και προς τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ ιδου εγω πλασσω εφ' υμας κακα και λογιζομαι εφ' υμας λογισμον αποστραφητω δη εκαστος απο οδου αυτου της πονηρας και καλλιονα ποιησετε τα επιτηδευματα υμων	11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
12 και ειπαν ανδριουμεθα οτι οπισω των αποστροφων ημων πορευσομεθα και εκαστος τα αρεστα της καρδιας αυτου της πονηρας ποιησομεν	12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
13 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ερωτησατε δη εν εθνεσιν τις ηκουσεν τοιαυτα φρικτα α εποιησεν σφοδρα παρθενος ισραηλ	13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
14 μη εκλειψουσιν απο πετρας μαστοι η χιων απο του λιβανου μη εκκλινει υδωρ βιαιως ανεμω φερομενον	14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
15 οτι επελαθοντο μου ο λαος μου εις κενον εθυμιασαν και ασθενησουσιν εν ταις οδοις αυτων σχοινους αιωνιους του επιβηναι τριβους ουκ εχοντας οδον εις πορειαν	15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
16 του ταξαι την γην αυτων εις αφανισμον και συριγμα αιωνιον παντες οι διαπορευομενοι δι' αυτης εκστησονται και κινησουσιν την κεφαλην αυτων	16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
17 ως ανεμον καυσωνα διασπερω αυτους κατα προσωπον εχθρων αυτων δειξω αυτοις ημεραν απωλειας αυτων	17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18 και ειπαν δευτε λογισωμεθα επι ιερεμιαν λογισμον οτι ουκ απολειται νομος απο ιερεως και βουλη απο συνετου και λογος απο προφητου δευτε και παταξωμεν αυτον εν γλωσση και ακουσομεθα παντας τους λογους αυτου	18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
19 εισακουσον μου κυριε και εισακουσον της φωνης του δικαιωματος μου	19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 ει ανταποδιδοται αντι αγαθων κακα οτι συνελαλησαν ρηματα κατα της ψυχης μου και την κολασιν αυτων εκρυψαν μοι μνησθητι εστηκοτος μου κατα προσωπον σου του λαλησαι υπερ αυτων αγαθα του αποστρεψαι τον θυμον σου απ' αυτων	20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 δια τουτο δος τους υιους αυτων εις λιμον και αθροισον αυτους εις χειρας μαχαιρας γενεσθωσαν αι γυναικες αυτων ατεκνοι και χηραι και οι ανδρες αυτων γενεσθωσαν ανηρημενοι θανατω και οι νεανισκοι αυτων πεπτωκοτες μαχαιρα εν πολεμω	21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 γενηθητω κραυγη εν ταις οικιαις αυτων επαξεις επ' αυτους ληστας αφνω οτι ενεχειρησαν λογον εις συλλημψιν μου και παγιδας εκρυψαν επ' εμε	22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 και συ κυριε εγνως απασαν την βουλην αυτων επ' εμε εις θανατον μη αθωωσης τας αδικιας αυτων και τας αμαρτιας αυτων απο προσωπου σου μη εξαλειψης γενεσθω η ασθενεια αυτων εναντιον σου εν καιρω θυμου σου ποιησον εν αυτοις	23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
