by Septuagint
[5] λέγων Ἀποστράφητε ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν, καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ἀπ’ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος·
[5] Turn ye every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever.
[6] μὴ πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῦ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς, ὅπως μὴ παροργίζητέ με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν τοῦ κακῶσαι ὑμᾶς.
[6] Go ye not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that ye provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.
[7] καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου.
[7] But ye hearkened not to me.
[8] διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε τοῖς λόγοις μου,
[8] Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since ye believed not my words,
[9] ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω καὶ λήμψομαι τὴν πατριὰν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἄξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξερημώσω αὐτοὺς καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συριγμὸν καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν αἰώνιον·
[9] behold I will send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.
[10] καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀπ’ αὐτῶν φωνὴν χαρᾶς καὶ φωνὴν εὐφροσύνης, φωνὴν νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴν νύμφης, ὀσμὴν μύρου καὶ φῶς λύχνου.
[10] And I will destroy from among them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
[11] καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ δουλεύσουσιν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη.
[11] And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.
[12] καὶ ἐν τῷ πληρωθῆναι τὰ ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη ἐκδικήσω τὸ ἔθνος ἐκεῖνο, φησὶν κύριος, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν αἰώνιον·
[12] And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.
[13] καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην πάντας τοὺς λόγους μου, οὓς ἐλάλησα κατ’ αὐτῆς, πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.
[13] And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, even all things that are written in this book.
[14] Ἃ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ιερεμιας ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ Αιλαμ.
[14] THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF ÆLAM.
[15] Τάδε λέγει κύριος Συντριβήτω τὸ τόξον Αιλαμ, ἀρχὴ δυναστείας αὐτῶν.
[15] Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Ælam is broken, even the chief of their power.
[16] καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ Αιλαμ τέσσαρας ἀνέμους ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἄκρων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀνέμοις τούτοις, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἔθνος, ὃ οὐχ ἥξει ἐκεῖ οἱ ἐξωσμένοι Αιλαμ.
[16] And I will bring upon Ælam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation to which they shall not come — even the outcasts of Ælam.
[17] καὶ πτοήσω αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς κακὰ κατὰ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου καὶ ἐπαποστελῶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν τὴν μάχαιράν μου ἕως τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς.
[17] And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.
[18] καὶ θήσω τὸν θρόνον μου ἐν Αιλαμ καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐκεῖθεν βασιλέα καὶ μεγιστᾶνας.
[18] And I will set my throne in Ælam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
[19] καὶ ἔσται ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Αιλαμ, λέγει κύριος. –
[19] But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Ælam, saith the Lord.
CHAPTER 26
[1] In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Ælam.
[20] ἐν ἀρχῇ βασιλεύοντος Σεδεκιου τοῦ βασιλέως ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος οὗτος περὶ Αιλαμ.
[2] FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
[2] Τῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐπὶ δύναμιν Φαραω Νεχαω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου, ὃς ἦν ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ Εὐφράτῃ ἐν Χαρχαμις, ὃν ἐπάταξε Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ Ιωακιμ βασιλέως Ιουδα.
[3] Take up arms and spears, and draw nigh to battle;
[3] Ἀναλάβετε ὅπλα καὶ ἀσπίδας καὶ προσαγάγετε εἰς πόλεμον·
[4] and harness the horses: mount, ye horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breast-plates.
[4] ἐπισάξατε τοὺς ἵππους ἐπίβητε, οἱ ἱππεῖς, καὶ κατάστητε ἐν ταῖς περικεφαλαίαις ὑμῶν· προβάλετε τὰ δόρατα καὶ ἐνδύσασθε τοὺς θώρακας ὑμῶν.
[5] Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord.
[5] τί ὅτι αὐτοὶ πτοοῦνται καὶ ἀποχωροῦσιν ὀπίσω; διότι οἱ ἰσχυροὶ αὐτῶν κοπήσονται. φυγῇ ἔφυγον καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψαν περιεχόμενοι κυκλόθεν, λέγει κύριος.
[6] Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the forces at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
[6] μὴ φευγέτω ὁ κοῦφος, καὶ μὴ ἀνασῳζέσθω ὁ ἰσχυρός· ἐπὶ βορρᾶν τὰ παρὰ τὸν Εὐφράτην ἠσθένησαν πεπτώκασιν.
[7] Who is this that shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll their waves?
[7] τίς οὗτος ὡς ποταμὸς ἀναβήσεται καὶ ὡς ποταμοὶ κυμαίνουσιν ὕδωρ;
[8] The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the
earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
[8] ὕδατα Αἰγύπτου ὡσεὶ ποταμὸς ἀναβήσεται καὶ εἶπεν Ἀναβήσομαι καὶ κατακαλύψω γῆν καὶ ἀπολῶ κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ.
[9] Mount ye the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, ye warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, ye Lydians, bend the bow.
[9] ἐπίβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους, παρασκευάσατε τὰ ἅρματα· ἐξέλθατε, οἱ μαχηταὶ Αἰθιόπων καὶ Λίβυες καθωπλισμένοι ὅπλοις· καὶ Λυδοί, ἀνάβητε ἐντείνατε τόξον.
[10] And that day shall be to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord has a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
[10] καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡμέρα ἐκδικήσεως τοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἡ μάχαιρα κυρίου καὶ ἐμπλησθήσεται καὶ μεθυσθήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῶν, ὅτι θυσία τῷ κυρίῳ σαβαωθ ἀπὸ γῆς βορρᾶ ἐπὶ ποταμῷ Εὐφράτῃ.
[11] Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain hast thou multiplied thy medicines; there is no help in thee.
[11] ἀνάβηθι, Γαλααδ, καὶ λαβὲ ῥητίνην τῇ παρθένῳ θυγατρὶ Αἰγύπτου· εἰς κενὸν ἐπλήθυνας ἰάματά σου, ὠφέλεια οὐκ ἔστιν σοί.
[12] The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, and both are fallen together.
[12] ἤκουσαν ἔθνη φωνήν σου, καὶ τῆς κραυγῆς σου ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ, ὅτι μαχητὴς πρὸς μαχητὴν ἠσθένησεν, ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἔπεσαν ἀμφότεροι.
[13] THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremiah, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt.
[13] Ἃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ιερεμιου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν Ναβουχοδονοσορ τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος τοῦ κόψαι τὴν γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
[14] Proclaim it at Magdol, and declare it at Memphis: say ye, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured thy yew-tree.
[14] Ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Μάγδωλον καὶ παραγγείλατε εἰς Μέμφιν, εἴπατε Ἐπίστηθι καὶ ἑτοίμασον, ὅτι κατέφαγεν μάχαιρα τὴν σμίλακά σου.
[15] Wherefore has Apis fled from thee? thy choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
[15] διὰ τί ἔφυγεν ὁ Ἆπις; ὁ μόσχος ὁ ἐκλεκτός σου οὐκ ἔμεινεν, ὅτι κύριος παρέλυσεν αὐτόν.
[16] And thy multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbour, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
[16] καὶ τὸ πλῆθός σου ἠσθένησεν καὶ ἔπεσεν, καὶ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐλάλει Ἀναστῶμεν καὶ ἀναστρέψωμεν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας Ἑλληνικῆς.
[17] Call ye the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
[17] καλέσατε τὸ ὄνομα Φαραω Νεχαω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου Σαων – εσβι – εμωηδ.
[18] As I live, saith the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
[18] ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός, ὅτι ὡς τὸ Ἰταβύριον ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ ὡς ὁ Κάρμηλος ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἥξει.
[19] O daughter of Egypt dwelling at home, prepare thee stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
[19] σκεύη ἀποικισμοῦ ποίησον σεαυτῇ, κατοικοῦσα θύγατερ Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι Μέμφις εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται καὶ κληθήσεται οὐαὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ὑπάρχειν κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ.
[20] Egypt is a fair heifer, but destruction from the north is come upon her.
[20] δάμαλις κεκαλλωπισμένη Αἴγυπτος, ἀπόσπασμα ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἦλθεν ἐπ’ αὐτήν.
[21] Also her hired soldiers in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
[21] καὶ οἱ μισθωτοὶ αὐτῆς ἐν αὐτῇ ὥσπερ μόσχοι σιτευτοὶ τρεφόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ, διότι καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀπεστράφησαν καὶ ἔφυγον ὁμοθυμαδόν, οὐκ ἔστησαν, ὅτι ἡμέρα ἀπωλείας ἦλθεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς καὶ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεως αὐτῶν.
[22] Their voice is as that of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
[22] φωνὴ ὡς ὄφεως συρίζοντος, ὅτι ἐν ἄμμῳ πορεύσονται· ἐν ἀξίναις ἥξουσιν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ὡς κόπτοντες ξύλα.
[23] They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, for their number cannot at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
[23] ἐκκόψουσιν τὸν δρυμὸν αὐτῆς, λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός, ὅτι οὐ μὴ εἰκασθῇ, ὅτι πληθύνει ὑπὲρ ἀκρίδα καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς ἀριθμός.
[24] The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
[24] κατῃσχύνθη θυγάτηρ Αἰγύπτου, παρεδόθη εἰς χεῖρας λαοῦ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ.
[25] Behold, I will avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
[25] ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ τὸν Αμων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς ἐπὶ Φαραω καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.
[26] But fear not thou, my servant Jacob, neither be thou alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from their captivity;
[27] σὺ δὲ μὴ φοβηθῇς, δοῦλός μου Ιακωβ, μηδὲ πτοηθῇς, Ισραηλ, διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ σῴζων σε μακρόθεν καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀναστρέψει Ιακωβ καὶ ἡσυχάσει καὶ ὑπνώσει, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ παρενοχλῶν αὐτόν.
[27] and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
[28] μὴ φοβοῦ, παῖς μου Ιακωβ, λέγει κύριος, ὅτι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι· ὅτι ποιήσω συντέλειαν ἐν παντὶ ἔθνει, εἰς οὓς ἐξῶσά σε ἐκεῖ, σὲ δὲ οὐ μὴ ποιήσω ἐκλιπεῖν· καὶ παιδεύσω σε εἰς κρίμα καὶ ἀθῷον οὐκ ἀθῳώσω σε.
[28] Fear not thou, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: she that was without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust thee forth; but I will not cau
se thee to fail: yet will I chastise thee in the way of judgment, and will not hold thee entirely guiltless.
CHAPTER 27
[1] Λόγος κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα.
[1] THE WORD OF THE LORD WHICH HE SPOKE AGAINST BABYLON.
[2] Ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε καὶ μὴ κρύψητε, εἴπατε Ἑάλωκεν Βαβυλών, κατῃσχύνθη Βῆλος ἡ ἀπτόητος, ἡ τρυφερὰ παρεδόθη Μαρωδαχ.
[2] Proclaim ye among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress them not: say ye, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Maerodach is delivered up.
[3] ὅτι ἀνέβη ἐπ’ αὐτὴν ἔθνος ἀπὸ βορρᾶ· οὗτος θήσει τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἕως κτήνους.
[3] For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast.
[4] ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἥξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ιουδα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· βαδίζοντες καὶ κλαίοντες πορεύσονται τὸν κύριον θεὸν αὐτῶν ζητοῦντες.
[4] In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
[5] ἕως Σιων ἐρωτήσουσιν τὴν ὁδόν, ὧδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσιν· καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν, διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
