ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ - Geremia - Jeremiah 50

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ο λογος, τον οποιον ελαλησε Κυριος κατα της Βαβυλωνος, κατα της γης των Χαλδαιων, δια Ιερεμιου του προφητου.	1 The word that the Lord has spoken about Babylon and about the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Αναγγειλατε εν τοις εθνεσι και κηρυξατε και υψωσατε σημαιαν? κηρυξατε, μη κρυψητε? ειπατε, Εκυριευθη η Βαβυλων, κατησχυνθη ο Βηλ, συνετριβη ο Μερωδαχ? κατησχυνθησαν τα ειδωλα αυτης, συνετριβησαν τα βδελυγματα αυτης.	2 “Announce it among the Gentiles, and make it known. Lift up a sign. Proclaim it and do not conceal it. Say this: ‘Babylon has been captured. Bel has been confounded. Merodach has been conquered. Their graven things have been confounded. Their idols have not survived.’
3 Διοτι απο βορρα αναβαινει εθνος εναντιον αυτης, το οποιον θελει καταστησει την γην αυτης ερημον, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο κατοικων εν αυτη? απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους θελουσι μετατοπισθη, θελουσι φυγει.	3 For a nation has ascended against her from the north, which will set her land in desolation. And there will be no one who may live within it, from man even to beast. For they have been removed and have gone away.
4 Εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, λεγει Κυριος, θελουσιν ελθει οι υιοι Ισραηλ, αυτοι και οι υιοι Ιουδα ομου, βαδιζοντες και κλαιοντες? θελουσιν υπαγει και ζητησει Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων.	4 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the sons of Israel will advance, they and the sons of Judah together. Weeping as they walk, they will hurry on, and they will seek the Lord their God.
5 Θελουσιν ερωτησει περι της οδου της Σιων με τα προσωπα αυτων προς εκει, λεγοντες, Ελθετε και ας ενωθωμεν μετα του Κυριου εν διαθηκη αιωνιω, ητις δεν θελει λησμονηθη.	5 They will ask the way to Zion; their faces will be set toward this place. They will arrive and will be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which nothing will wipe away into oblivion.
6 Ο λαος μου εγεινε προβατα απολωλοτα? οι ποιμενες αυτων παρετρεψαν αυτους, περιεπλανησαν αυτους εις τα ορη? υπηγαν απο ορους εις βουνον, ελησμονησαν την μανδραν αυτων.	6 My people have become a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray and have caused them to wander in the mountains. They have crossed from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
7 Παντες οι ευρισκοντες αυτους κατετρωγον αυτους, και οι εχθροι αυτων ειπον, Δεν πταιομεν, διοτι ημαρτησαν εις Κυριον, την κατοικιαν της δικαιοσυνης? ναι, εις Κυριον, την ελπιδα των πατερων αυτων.	7 All whom they have found, they have devoured. And their enemies have said: ‘We have not sinned. For it is they who have sinned against the Lord, the beauty of justice, and against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.’
8 Φυγετε εκ μεσου της Βαβυλωνος και εξελθετε εκ της γης των Χαλδαιων και γεινετε ως κριοι εμπροσθεν ποιμνιων.	8 Withdraw from the midst of Babylon, and go forth from the land of the Chaldeans. And be like young goats before the flock.
9 Διοτι ιδου, εγω θελω εγειρει και αναβιβασει επι Βαβυλωνα συναγωγην εθνων μεγαλων εκ γης βορρα, και θελουσι παραταχθη εναντιον αυτης? εκειθεν θελει αλωθη? τα βελη αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι ως εμπειρου ισχυρου? δεν θελουσιν επιστρεψει κενα.	9 For behold, I am raising up, and I will lead against Babylon, a congregation of great nations from the land of the north. And they will be prepared against her, and from there she will be taken. Their arrows, like those of a strong man, a killer, will not return empty.
10 Και η Χαλδαια θελει εισθαι λαφυρον? παντες οι λεηλατουντες αυτην θελουσι χορτασθη, λεγει Κυριος.	10 And Chaldea will become a prey. All who lay waste to her will be filled, says the Lord.
11 Επειδη ηυφραινεσθε και εκαυχαθε, φθορεις της κληρονομιας μου, επειδη εσκιρτατε ως δαμαλις επι χλοης και εχρεμετιζετε ως ρωμαλεοι ιπποι,	11 For you exult and you speak great things, plundering my inheritance. For you have spread out like calves upon the grass, and you have bellowed like bulls.
12 η μητηρ σας κατησχυνθη σφοδρα? η γεννητρια σας ενετραπη? ιδου, αυτη θελει εισθαι η εσχατη των εθνων, ερημος, γη ξηρα και αβατος.	12 Your mother has been exceedingly shamed, and she who bore you has become equal to the dust. Behold, she will be the last among the nations, a desert, impassable and dry.
13 Εξ αιτιας της οργης του Κυριου δεν θελει κατοικηθη, αλλα θελει ερημωθη απασα? πας ο διαβαινων δια της Βαβυλωνος θελει εκθαμβηθη και συριξει επι πασαις ταις πληγαις αυτης.	13 By the wrath of the Lord, it will not be inhabited. Instead, it will be entirely desolate. Every one who passes by Babylon will be stupefied and will hiss over all her wounds.
14 Παραταχθητε εναντιον της Βαβυλωνος κυκλω? παντες οι εντεινοντες τοξον, τοξευσατε κατ' αυτης, μη φειδεσθε βελων? διοτι ημαρτησεν εις Κυριον.	14 Prepare yourselves against Babylon, on every side, all you who bend the bow. Make war against her! You should not spare the arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord.
15 Αλαλαξατε επ' αυτη κυκλω? παρεδωκεν εαυτην? επεσαν τα θεμελια αυτης, κατηδαφισθησαν τα τειχη αυτης? διοτι τουτο ειναι η εκδικησις του Κυριου? εκδικηθητε αυτην? καθως αυτη εκαμε, καμετε εις αυτην.	15 Cry out against her! For where she has put forth a hand, her foundations have fallen, her walls have been destroyed. For it is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance against her! Just as she has done, do so to her.
16 Εκκοψατε απο Βαβυλωνος τον σπειροντα και τον κρατουντα δρεπανον εν καιρω θερισμου? απο προσωπου της εξολοθρευτικης μαχαιρας θελουσιν επιστρεψει εκαστος εις τον λαον αυτου, και θελουσι φυγει εκαστος εις την γην αυτου.	16 Destroy the founder from Babylon, and the one who holds the sickle in the time of harvest. Before the face of the sword of the dove, each one will turn back to his people, and every one will flee to his own land.
17 Ο Ισραηλ ειναι προβατον πλανωμενον? λεοντες εκυνηγησαν αυτο? πρωτος ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας κατεφαγεν αυτον? και υστερον ουτος ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ, ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, κατεσυντριψε τα οστα αυτου.	17 Israel is a scattered flock. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him. And last, this Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has taken away his bones.
18 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Ιδου, εγω θελω τιμωρησει τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος και την γην αυτου, καθως ετιμωρησα τον βασιλεα της Ασσυριας.	18 Because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, just as I have visited the king of Assyria.
19 Και θελω αποκαταστησει τον Ισραηλ εν τη κατοικια αυτου, και θελει βοσκεσθαι τον Καρμηλον και την Βασαν, και η ψυχη αυτου θελει χορτασθη επι το ορος Εφραιμ και Γαλααδ.	19 And I will lead back Israel to his habitation. And he will pasture on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul will be satiated at mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 Εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, λεγει Κυριος, η ανομια του Ισραηλ θελει ζητηθη και δεν θελει υπαρχει, και αι αμαρτιαι του Ιουδα και δεν θελουσιν ευρεθη? διοτι θελω συγχωρησει οσους αφησω υπολοιπον.	20 In those days and at that time, says the Lord, the iniquity of Israel will be sought, and there will be none. And the sin of Judah will be sought, and none will be found. For I will be forgiving to them, whom I will leave behind.
21 Αναβα επι την γην των καταδυναστων, επ' αυτην και επι τους κατοικους της Φεκωδ? αφανισον και εξολοθρευσον κατοπιν αυτων, λεγει Κυριος, και καμε κατα παντα οσα προσεταξα εις σε.	21 Ascend against the land of the rulers, and visit against its inhabitants! Scatter and destroy whatever has been left behind them, says the Lord, and act according to all that I have instructed you.
22 Φωνη πολεμου εν τη γη και συντριμμα μεγα.	22 A voice of war in the land, and great destruction!
23 Πως συνεθλασθη και συνετριβη η σφυρα πασης της γης? πως εγεινεν η Βαβυλων εις θαμβος μεταξυ των εθνων.	23 How has the mallet of the entire earth been broken and crushed? How has Babylon been turned into a desert among the nations?
24 Εστησα παγιδα εις σε, μαλιστα και επιασθης, Βαβυλων, και συ δεν εγνωρισας? ευρεθης μαλιστα και συνεληφθης, διοτι εις τον Κυριον αντεσταθης.	24 I have ensnared you, and you have been captured, O Babylon, and you did not realize it. You have been discovered and seized, because you provoked the Lord.
25 Ο Κυριος ηνοιξε την οπλοθηκην αυτου και εξηγαγε το οπλα της οργης αυτου? διοτι το εργον τουτο εχει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων εν τη γη των Χαλδαιων.	25 The Lord has opened his storehouse, and he has brought forth the instruments of his wrath. For there is work for the Lord, the God of hosts, within the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Ελθετε επ' αυτην απο των περατων? ανοιξατε τας αποθηκας αυτης? καταστησατε αυτην ως σωρους και εξολοθρευσατε αυτην? ας μη μεινη εξ αυτης υπολοιπον.	26 Advance against her from the furthest regions! Open, so that those who will trample her may go out! Take stones from the road, and gather them into piles, and destroy her. And let there be nothing left of her.
27 Σφαξατε παντας τους μοσχους αυτης? ας καταβωσιν εις σφαγην? ουαι εις αυτους? διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα αυτων, ο καιρος της επισκεψεως αυτων.	27 Scatter all her strong ones. Let them descend to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has arrived, the time of their visitation.
28 Φωνη φευγοντων και διασωζομενων απο της γης Βαβυλωνος, δια να αναγγειλη εν Σιων την εκδικησιν Κυριου του Θεου ημων, την εκδικησιν του ναου αυτου.	28 It is the voice of those who are fleeing and of those who have escaped from the land of Babylon: to announce in Zion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his Temple.
29 Συγκαλεσατε τους τοξοτας επι Βαβυλωνα? παντες οι εντεινοντες τοξον, στρατοπεδευσατε κατ' αυτης κυκλω? μηδεις εξ αυτης ας μη διασωθη? ανταποδοτε εις αυτην κατα το εργον αυτης? κατα παντα οσα εκαμε, καμετε εις αυτην? διοτι υπερηφανευθη κατα του Κυριου, κατα του Αγιου του Ισραηλ.	29 Announce it to the many in Babylon, to all who bend the bow. Stand together against her all around, and let no one escape. Repay her according to her work. In accord with all that she has done, do to her. For she has raised herself up against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Δια τουτο οι νεοι αυτης θελουσι πεσει εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης, και παντες οι ανδρες αυτης οι πολεμισται θελουσιν απολεσθη κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν, λεγει Κυριος.	30 For this reason, her young men will fall in her streets. And all her men of war will be silenced, in that day, says the Lord.
31 Ιδου, εγω ειμαι εναντιον σου, ω επηρμενη, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων? διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα σου, ο καιρος της επισκεψεως σου.	31 Behold, I am against you, O proud one, says the Lord, the God of hosts. For your day has arrived, the time of your visitation.
32 Και ο επηρμενος θελει προσκοψει και πεσει, και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο αναστησων αυτον? και θελω αναψει πυρ εν ταις πολεσιν αυτου και ο θελει καταφαγει παντα τα περιξ αυτου.	32 And the proud one will fall and be ruined. And there will be no one who may lift him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour everything around him.”
33 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? οι υιοι Ισραηλ και οι υιοι Ιουδα κατεδυναστευθησαν ομου? και παντες οι αιχμαλωτισαντες αυτους κατεκρατησαν αυτους? ηρνηθησαν να απολυσωσιν αυτους.	33 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “The sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have endured calumny together. All who have seized them are holding them and refusing to release them.
34 Πλην ο Λυτρωτης αυτων ειναι Ισχυρος? Κυριος των δυναμεων το ονομα αυτου? θελει εξαπαντος διαδικασει την δικην αυτων, δια να αναπαυση την γην και να ταραξη τους κατοικους της Βαβυλωνος.	34 Their redeemer is strong. The Lord of hosts is his name. He will defend their case in judgment, so that he may terrify the land and disturb the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Μαχαιρα επι τους Χαλδαιους, λεγει Κυριος, και επι τους κατοικους της Βαβυλωνος και επι τους μεγιστανας αυτης και επι τους σοφους αυτης.	35 A sword is for the Chaldeans, says the Lord, and for the inhabitants of Babylon, and for her leaders, and for her wise ones.
36 Μαχαιρα επι τους ψευδοπροφητας και θελουσι παραφρονησει? μαχαιρα επι τους ισχυρους αυτης και θελουσι τρομαξει.	36 A sword is for her diviners, who will be fooled. A sword is for her strong ones, who will be afraid.
37 Μαχαιρα επι τους ιππους αυτων και επι τας αμαξας αυτων και επι παντα τον συμμικτον λαον τον εν μεσω αυτης, και θελουσιν εισθαι ως γυναικες? μαχαιρα επι τους θησαυρους αυτης και θελουσι διαρπαχθη.	37 A sword is for their horses, and for their chariots, and for all the common people who are in her midst. And they will be like women. A sword is for her storehouses, and they will be plundered.
38 Ξηρασια επι τα υδατα αυτης, και θελουσι ξηρανθη? διοτι ειναι γη των γλυπτων και εμωρανθησαν εν τοις ειδωλοις αυτων.	38 A drought is over her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of graven images, and they glory in portents.
39 Δια τουτο θηρια και αιλουροι θελουσι κατοικησει εκει και στρουθοκαμηλοι θελουσι κατοικησει εν αυτη και δεν θελει κατοικηθη πλεον εις τον αιωνα? και ουδεις θελει κατασκηνωσει εν αυτη εις γενεαν και γενεαν.	39 Because of this, dragons will live there with the fig fauns, and ostriches will live in it. And it will no longer be inhabited, even in perpetuity, nor will it be raised up, even from generation to generation.
40 Καθως κατεστρεψεν ο Θεος τα Σοδομα και τα Γομορρα και τα πλησιοχωρα αυτων, λεγει Κυριος, ουτως ανθρωπος δεν θελει κατοικησει εκει ουδε υιος ανθρωπου θελει παροικησει εν αυτη.	40 Just as the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighboring towns, says the Lord, no man will live there, and a son of man will not tend it.
41 Ιδου, λαος θελει ελθει απο βορρα και εθνος μεγα, και βασιλεις πολλοι θελουσιν εγερθη απο των εσχατων της γης.	41 Behold, a people arrives from the north, and a great nation. And many kings will rise up from the ends of the earth.
42 Τοξον και λογχην θελουσι κρατει? ειναι σκληροι και ανιλεοι? η φωνη αυτων ηχει ως θαλασσα, και επιβαινουσιν επι ιππους, παρατεταγμενοι ως ανδρες εις πολεμον, εναντιον σου, θυγατηρ Βαβυλωνος.	42 They will take up the bow and the shield. They are cruel and merciless. Their voice will sound out, like the sea, and they will ride upon horses, like a man prepared for battle against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Ηκουσεν ο βαιλευς της Βαβυλωνος την φημην αυτων και αι χειρες αυτου παρελυθησαν? στενοχωρια συνελαβεν αυτον, ωδινες ως τικτουσης.	43 The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, and his hands have been weakened. Anguish has overtaken him, like the pains of a woman giving birth.
44 Ιδου, θελει αναβη ως λεων απο του φρυαγματος του Ιορδανου εναντιον της κατοικιας του δυνατου? αλλ' εγω ταχεως θελω εκδιωξει αυτους απ' αυτης? και οστις ειναι ο εκλεκτος σου, τουτον θελω καταστησει επ' αυτην? διοτι τις ομοιος μου; και τις θελει αντισταθη εις εμε; και τις ειναι ο ποιμην εκεινος, οστις θελει σταθη κατα προσωπον μου;	44 Behold, he will ascend like a lion from the arrogance of the Jordan to the robust beauty. For I will cause him to rush upon her suddenly. And who will be the elect one, whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who can endure me? And who is that pastor who can withstand my countenance?”
45 Δια τουτο ακουσατε την βουλην του Κυριου, την οποιαν εβουλευθη κατα της Βαβυλωνος, και τους λογισμους αυτου, τους οποιους ελογισθη κατα της γης των Χαλδαιων? εξαπαντος και τα ελαχιστα του ποιμνιου θελουσι κατασυρει αυτους? εξαπαντος η κατοικια αυτων θελει ερημωθη μετ' αυτων.	45 Because of this, listen to the counsel of the Lord, which he has conceived in his mind against Babylon, and to his thoughts, which he has devised against the land of the Chaldeans: “Certainly the little ones of the flocks will pull them down, unless their habitation will have been destroyed with them.
46 Απο του ηχου της αλωσεως της Βαβυλωνος εσεισθη η γη, και η κραυγη ηκουσθη εν τοις εθνεσι.	46 At the voice of the captivity of Babylon, the earth has been moved, and an outcry has been heard among the nations.”
