Jeremiah 31

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 “In that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”	1 Εν τω αυτω καιρω, λεγει Κυριος, θελω εισθαι ο Θεος πασων των οικογενειων του Ισραηλ και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου.
2 Thus says the Lord: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.”	2 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ο λαος ο εναπολειφθεις απο της μαχαιρας ευρηκε χαριν εν τη ερημω? ο Ισραηλ υπηγε να ευρη αναπαυσιν.
3 The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Therefore, showing pity, I have drawn you.	3 Ο Κυριος εφανη παλαιοθεν εις εμε, λεγων, Ναι, σε ηγαπησα αγαπησιν η αιωνιον? δια τουτο σε ειλκυσα με ελεος.
4 And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play.	4 Παλιν θελω σε οικοδομησει και θελεις οικοδομηθη, παρθενε του Ισραηλ? θελεις ευπρεπισθη παλιν με τα τυμπανα σου και θελεις εξερχεσθαι εις τους χορους των αγαλλομενων.
5 Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives.	5 Θελεις φυτευσει παλιν αμπελωνας επι των ορεων της Σαμαρειας? οι φυτευται θελουσι φυτευσει και θελουσι τρωγει τον καρπον.
6 For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!’ ”	6 Διοτι θελει εισθαι ημερα, καθ' ην οι φυλακες επι του ορους Εφραιμ θελουσι φωναζει, Σηκωθητε και ας αναβωμεν εις την Σιων προς Κυριον τον Θεον ημων.
7 For thus says the Lord: “Exult in the joy of Jacob, and neigh before the head of the Gentiles. Shout, and sing, and say: ‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’	7 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ψαλλετε εν αγαλλιασει δια τον Ιακωβ και αλαλαξατε δια την κεφαλην των εθνων? κηρυξατε, αινεσατε και ειπατε, Σωσον, Κυριε, τον λαον σου το υπολοιπον του Ισραηλ.
8 Behold, I will lead them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, she who is with child, together with she who is giving birth: a great assembly returning to this place.	8 Ιδου εγω θελω φερει αυτους εκ της γης του βορρα, και θελω συναξει αυτους απο των εσχατων της γης, και μετ' αυτων τον τυφλον και τον χωλον, την εγκυον και την γεννωσαν ομου? συναθροισμα μεγα θελει επιστρεψει ενταυθα.
9 They will approach with weeping. And I will lead them back with mercy. And I will lead them through the torrents of water, by an upright way, and they will not stumble in it. For I have become Father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”	9 Μετα κλαυθμου θελουσιν ελθει και μετα δεησεων θελω επαναφερει αυτους? θελω οδηγησει αυτους παρα ποταμους υδατων δι' ευθειας οδου, καθ' ην δεν θελουσι προσκοψει? διοτι ειμαι πατηρ εις τον Ισραηλ και ο Εφραιμ ειναι ο πρωτοτοκος μου.
10 Listen to the word of the Lord, O Gentiles, and announce it amid the islands that are far away, and say: “Whoever has scattered Israel will gather him, and he will guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.”	10 Ακουσατε, εθνη, τον λογον του Κυριου, και αναγγειλατε εις τας νησους τας μακραν και ειπατε, Ο διασκορπισας τον Ισραηλ θελει συναξει αυτον και θελει φυλαξει αυτον ως ο βοσκος το ποιμνιον αυτου.
11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and he has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.	11 Διοτι ο Κυριος εξηγορασε τον Ιακωβ και ελυτρωσεν αυτον εκ χειρος του δυνατωτερου αυτου.
12 And they will arrive and give praise on Mount Zion. And they will flow together, to the good things of the Lord, over grain, and wine, and oil, and the offspring of cattle and herds. And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer be hungry.	12 Και θελουσιν ελθει και ψαλλει επι του υψους της Σιων, και θελουσι συρρευσει εις τα αγαθα του Κυριου, εις σιτον και εις οινον και εις ελαιον και εις τα γεννηματα των προβατων και των βοων, και η ψυχη αυτων θελει εισθαι ως παραδεισος περιποτιζομενος? και παντελως δεν θελουσι λυπηθη πλεον.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice with singing, the young and the old together, and I will turn their mourning into gladness, and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.	13 Τοτε θελει χαρη η παρθενος εν τω χορω, και οι νεοι και οι γεροντες ομου? και θελω στρεψει το πενθος αυτων εις χαραν και θελω παρηγορησει αυτους και ευφρανει αυτους μετα την θλιψιν αυτων.
14 And I will inebriate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be filled with my good things, says the Lord.”	14 Και θελω χορτασει την ψυχην των ιερεων απο παχυτητος, και ο λαος μου θελει χορτασθη απο των αγαθων μου, λεγει Κυριος.
15 Thus says the Lord: “A voice has been heard on high: of lamentation, mourning, and weeping; of Rachel crying for her sons and refusing to be consoled over them, because they are not.”	15 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Φωνη ηκουσθη εν Ραμα, θρηνος, κλαυθμος, οδυρμος? η Ραχηλ, κλαιουσα τα τεκνα αυτης, δεν ηθελε να παρηγορηθη δια τα τεκνα αυτης, διοτι δεν υπαρχουσιν.
16 Thus says the Lord: “Let your voice cease from crying and your eyes from tears. For there is a reward for your work, says the Lord. And they will return from the land of the enemy.	16 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Παυσον την φωνην σου απο κλαυθμου και τους οφθαλμους σου απο δακρυων? διοτι το εργον σου θελει ανταμειφθη, λεγει Κυριος? και θελουσιν επιστρεψει εκ της γης του εχθρου.
17 And there is hope for your very end, says the Lord. And the sons will return to their own borders.	17 Και ειναι ελπις εις τα εσχατα σου, λεγει Κυριος, και τα τεκνα σου θελουσιν επιστρεψει εις τα ορια αυτων.
18 Listening, I heard Ephraim going into captivity: ‘You have chastised me, and I was instructed, like a young untamed bull. Convert me, and I shall be converted. For you are the Lord my God.	18 Ηκουσα τωοντι τον Εφραιμ λεγοντα εν οδυρμοις, Με επαιδευσας, και επαιδευθην ως μοσχος αδαμαστος? επιστρεψον με και θελω επιστρεψει? διοτι συ εισαι Κυριος ο Θεος μου?
19 For after you converted me, I did penance. And after you revealed to me, I struck my thigh. I am confounded and ashamed. For I have endured the disgrace of my youth.’	19 βεβαιως αφου επεστρεψα, μετενοησα, και αφου εδιδαχθην, εκτυπησα επι τον μηρον μου? ησχυνθην και μαλιστα ηρυθριασα, διοτι εβαστασα το ονειδος της νεοτητος μου.
20 Certainly, Ephraim is an honorable son to me; surely, he is a tender child. For I will still remember him, as in the time when I first spoke about him. Because my heart is stirred up over him, surely I will take pity on him, says the Lord.	20 Ο Εφραιμ ειναι υιος αγαπητος εις εμε; παιδιον φιλτατον; διοτι αφου ελαλησα εναντιον αυτου, παντοτε ενθυμουμαι αυτον, δια τουτο τα σπλαγχνα μου ηχουσι δι' αυτον? θελω βεβαιως σπλαγχνισθη αυτον, λεγει Κυριος.
21 Establish a watchtower for yourself. Place yourself in bitterness. Direct your heart into the upright way, in which you used to walk. Return, return, O virgin of Israel, to these your cities!	21 Στησον σημεια της οδου, καμε εις σεαυτον σωρους υψηλους? προσηλωσον την καρδιαν σου εις την λεωφορον, εις την οδον δι' ης υπηγες? επιστρεψον, παρθενε του Ισραηλ, επιστρεψον εις αυτας τας πολεις σου.
22 How long will you be absorbed in delights, O wandering daughter? For the Lord has created something new upon the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”	22 Εως ποτε θελεις περιφερεσθαι, θυγατηρ αποστατρια; διοτι ο Κυριος εποιησε νεον πραγμα εν τη γη? Γυνη θελει περικυκλωσει ανδρα.
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Still they will speak this word in the land of Judah, and in its cities, when I will convert their captivity: ‘May the Lord bless you, the beauty of justice, the holy mountain.’	23 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ετι θελουσι λεγει τον λογον τουτον εν τη γη του Ιουδα και εν ταις πολεσιν αυτου, οταν επιστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν αυτων, Ο Κυριος να σε ευλογηση, κατοικια δικαιοσυνης, ορος αγιοτητος.
24 And they will live in it: Judah together with all its cities, the farmer and those who drive the flocks.	24 Και θελουσι κατοικησει εν αυτη ο Ιουδας και πασαι αι πολεις αυτου ομου, οι γεωργοι και οι εξερχομενοι μετα των ποιμνιων?
25 For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.	25 διοτι εχορτασα την εκλελυμενην ψυχην και ενεπλησα πασαν τεθλιμμενην ψυχην.
26 Over this, I was awakened, as if from a deep sleep. And I saw, and my sleep became sweet to me.	26 Δια τουτο εξυπνησα και εθεωρησα, και ο υπνος μου εσταθη γλυκυς εις εμε.
27 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and with the offspring of cattle.	27 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω σπειρει τον οικον Ισραηλ και τον οικον Ιουδα με σπερμα ανθρωπου και με σπερμα κτηνους.
28 And just as I have watched over them, so that I may root up, and tear down, and scatter, and destroy, and afflict, so will I watch over them, so that I may build and plant them, says the Lord.	28 Και καθως εγρηγορουν επ' αυτους δια να εκριζονω και να κατασκαπτω και να κατεδαφιζω και να καταστρεφω και να καταθλιβω, ουτω θελω γρηγορησει επ' αυτους δια να ανοικοδομω και να φυτευω, λεγει Κυριος.
29 In those days, they will no longer say: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’	29 Εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις δεν θελουσι λεγει πλεον, Οι πατερες εφαγον ομφακα και οι οδοντες των τεκνων ημωδιασαν?
30 Instead, each one will die for his own iniquity. Each man who will have eaten a bitter grape, his own teeth will be affected.	30 αλλ' εκαστος θελει αποθνησκει δια την ανομιαν αυτου? πας ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τον ομφακα, τουτου οι οδοντες θελουσιν αιμωδιασει.
31 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will form a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,	31 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω καμει προς τον οικον Ισραηλ και προς τον οικον Ιουδα διαθηκην νεαν?
32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, so as to lead them away from the land of Egypt, the covenant which they nullified, though I was the ruler over them, says the Lord.	32 ουχι κατα την διαθηκην, την οποιαν εκαμον προς τους πατερας αυτων, καθ' ην ημεραν επιασα αυτους απο της χειρος δια να εξαγαγω αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου? διοτι αυτοι παρεβησαν την διαθηκην μου και εγω απεστραφην αυτους, λεγει Κυριος?
33 But this will be the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord: I will give my law to their inner most being, and I will write it upon their heart. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.	33 αλλ' αυτη θελει εισθαι η διαθηκη, την οποιαν θελω καμει προς τον οικον Ισραηλ? μετα τας ημερας εκεινας, λεγει Κυριος, θελω θεσει τον νομον μου εις τα ενδομυχα αυτων και θελω γραψει αυτον εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων? και θελω εισθαι Θεος αυτων και αυτοι θελουσιν εισθαι λαος μου.
34 And they will no longer teach, a man his neighbor, and a man his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all will know me, from the littlest of them even to the greatest, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will no longer remember their sin.	34 Και δεν θελουσι διδασκει πλεον εκαστος τον πλησιον αυτου και εκαστος τον αδελφον αυτου, λεγων, Γνωρισατε τον Κυριον? διοτι παντες ουτοι θελουσι με γνωριζει απο μικρου αυτων εως μεγαλου αυτων, λεγει Κυριος? διοτι θελω συγχωρησει την ανομιαν αυτων και την αμαρτιαν αυτων δεν θελω ενθυμεισθαι πλεον.
35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun as the light of the day, who puts the moon and the stars in order as the light of the night, who stirs up the sea and makes its waves roar: the Lord of hosts is his name.	35 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος, ο διδους τον ηλιον εις φως της ημερας, τας διαταξεις της σεληνης και των αστερων εις φως της νυκτος, ο ταραττων την θαλασσαν, και τα κυματα αυτης βομβουσι? Κυριος των δυναμεων το ονομα αυτου?
36 If these laws fail in my sight, says the Lord, then the offspring of Israel will also fail, so that they will not be a people in my sight for all time.”	36 Εαν αι διαταξεις αυται εκλειψωσιν απ' εμπροσθεν μου, λεγει Κυριος, τοτε και το σπερμα του Ισραηλ θελει παυσει απο του να ηναι εθνος ενωπιον μου πασας τας ημερας.
37 Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above are able to be measured, and if the foundations of the earth beneath can be examined, I also will cast aside all the offspring of Israel, because of all that they have done, says the Lord.	37 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Εαν ο ουρανος ανω δυναται να μετρηθη και τα θεμελια της γης κατω να εξιχνιασθωσι, τοτε και εγω θελω απορριψει παν το σπερμα του Ισραηλ δια παντα οσα επραξαν, λεγει Κυριος.
38 Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when a city will be built for the Lord from the tower of Hananel, even to the Gate of the Corner;	38 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και η πολις θελει οικοδομηθη εις τον Κυριον απο του πυργου Ανανεηλ εως της πυλης της γωνιας.
39 and the measuring line will go on even further in his sight, over the hill of Gareb, and it will encircle Goah	39 Και σχοινιον διαμετρησεως θελει εξελθει ετι απεναντι αυτης επι τον λοφον Γαρηβ και θελει περιελθει εως Γοαθ.
40 and the entire Valley of dead bodies and ashes, and the entire region of death, even to the torrent of Kedron, and to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east. All this will be the holy place of the Lord. It will not be rooted up, and it will not be torn down, anymore, forever.”	40 Και πασα η κοιλας των πτωματων και της στακτης και παντες οι αγροι εως του χειμαρρου Κεδρων, εως της γωνιας της πυλης των ιππων προς ανατολας, θελουσιν εισθαι αγιοι εις τον Κυριον? δεν θελει πλεον εκριζωθη ουδε καταστραφη εις τον αιωνα.
