2 Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

2 ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης. καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς ἄνδρας Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλήμ·	2 ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης. καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς ἄνδρας Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ·
2 Hear the words of this covenant, and you shall speak to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem;	2 Hear the words of this covenant, and you shall speak to the men of Juda, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem;

3 And say to them, Thus says Yahweh Elohim of Israēl; Cursed be the man who doesn’t obey the words of this covenant,

3 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἀκούσεται τῶν λόγων τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης,	3 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἀκούσεται τῶν λόγων τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης,
3 and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israēl, Cursed is the man, who shall not listen to the words of this covenant,	3 and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israēl, Cursed is the man, who shall not listen to the words of this covenant,

4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

4 ἧς ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐκ καμίνου τῆς σιδηρᾶς λέγων ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ποιήσατε πάντα, ὅσα ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς λαόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς θεόν,	4 ἧς ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐκ καμίνου τῆς σιδηρᾶς, λέγων· ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ ποιήσατε πάντας, ὅσα ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς λαόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς Θεόν,
4 which I commanded your fathers, in the day in which I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God;	4 which I commanded your fathers, in the day in which I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God;

5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, Oh Yahweh.

5 ὅπως στήσω τὸν ὅρκον μου, ὃν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι καθὼς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη. καὶ ἀπεκρίθην καὶ εἶπα γένοιτο, κύριε.	5 ὅπως στήσω τὸν ὅρκον μου, ὃν ὠμόσαμεν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι καθὼς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη. καὶ ἀπεκρίθην καὶ εἶπα· γένοιτο, Κύριε.
5 that I may confirm my oath, which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, Oh Lord.	5 that I may confirm my oath, which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, Oh Lord.

6 Then Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

6 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με ἀνάγνωθι τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ λέγων ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης καὶ ποιήσατε αὐτούς.	6 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἀνάγνωθι τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ λέγων· ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης καὶ ποιήσατε αὐτούς.
6 And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.	6 And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

8 Yet they didn’t obey, nor inclined their ear, but walked everyone in the imagination of their evil heart; therefore I will bring on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

7 καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησαν.	7 καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησαν.
But they did them not.	But they did them not.

9 And Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

9 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με εὑρέθη σύνδεσμος ἐν ἀνδράσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλήμ·	9 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· εὑρέθη σύνδεσμος ἐν ἀνδράσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ·
9 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the dwellers in Jerusalem.	9 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the dwellers in Jerusalem.

10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israēl and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

10 ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπὶ τὰς ἀδικίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν τῶν πρότερον, οἳ οὐκ ἤθελον εἰσακοῦσαι τῶν λόγων μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ βαδίζουσιν ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ διεσκέδασαν οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἶκος Ἰούδα τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.	10 ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπὶ τὰς ἀδικίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν τῶν πρότερον, οἳ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν εἰσακοῦσαι τῶν λόγων μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ διεσκέδασεν οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἶκος Ἰούδα τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.
10 They are turned aside to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not listen to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them; and the house of Israēl and the house of Juda have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.	10 They are turned aside to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not listen to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them; and the house of Israēl and the house of Juda have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.

11 Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I won’t listen to them.

11 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον κακά, ἐξ ὧν οὐ δυνήσονται ἐξελθεῖν ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ κεκράξονται πρός με, καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτῶν.	11 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον κακά, ἐξ ὧν οὐ δυνήσονται ἐξελθεῖν ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ κεκράξονται πρός με, καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι αὐτῶν.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evils on this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I won’t listen to them.	11 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I bring evils on this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I won’t listen to them.

12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

12 καὶ πορεύσονται πόλεις Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κεκράξονται πρὸς τοὺς θεούς, οἷς αὐτοὶ θυμιῶσιν αὐτοῖς· μὴ σώσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν καιρῷ τῶν κακῶν αὐτῶν;	12 καὶ πορεύσονται πόλεις Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κεκράξονται πρὸς τοὺς θεούς, οἷς αὐτοὶ θυμιῶσιν αὐτοῖς, οἳ μὴ σώσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῶν κακῶν αὐτῶν.
12 And the cities of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles.	12 And the cities of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles.

13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, Oh Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.

13 ὅτι κατ’ ἀριθμὸν τῶν πόλεών σου ἦσαν θεοί σου, Ἰούδα, καὶ κατ’ ἀριθμὸν ἐξόδων τῆς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐτάξατε βωμοὺς θυμιᾶν τῇ Βάαλ.	13 ὅτι κατ’ ἀριθμὸν τῶν πόλεών σου ἦσαν θεοί σου, Ἰούδα, καὶ κατ’ ἀριθμὸν ἐξόδων τῆς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐτάξατε βωμοὺς θυμιᾶν τῇ Βάαλ.
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, Oh Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to burn incense to Baal.	13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, Oh Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to burn incense to Baal.

14 Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I won’t hear them in the time that they cry to me for their trouble.

14 καὶ σὺ μὴ προσεύχου περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου καὶ μὴ ἀξίου περὶ αὐτῶν ἐν δεήσει καὶ προσευχῇ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ἐν ᾧ ἐπικαλοῦνταί με, ἐν καιρῷ κακώσεως αὐτῶν.	14 καὶ σὺ μὴ προσεύχου περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου καὶ μὴ ἀξίου περὶ αὐτῶν ἐν δεήσει καὶ προσευχῇ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ἐν ᾧ ἐπικαλοῦνταί με, ἐν καιρῷ κακώσεως αὐτῶν.
14 And you, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer; for I won’t hear in the day in which they call on me, in the day of their affliction.	14 And you, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer; for I won’t hear in the day in which they call on me, in the day of their affliction.

15 What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.

15 τί ἡ ἠγαπημένη ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου ἐποίησεν βδέλυγμα; μὴ εὐχαὶ καὶ κρέα ἅγια ἀφελοῦσιν ἀπὸ σου τὰς κακίας σου, ἢ τούτοις διαφεύξῃ;	15 τί ἡ ἠγαπημένη ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου ἐποίησε βδέλυγμα; μὴ εὐχαὶ καὶ κρέα ἅγια ἀφελοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ τὰς κακίας σου, ἢ τούτοις διαφεύξῃ;
15 Why has my beloved wrought abomination in my house? Will prayers and holy offerings take away your wickedness from you, or you shall escape by these things?	15 Why has my beloved wrought abomination in my house? Will prayers and holy offerings take away your wickedness from you, or you shall escape by these things?

16 Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and of good fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.

16 ἐλαίαν ὡραίαν εὔσκιον τῷ εἴδει ἐκάλεσεν κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου· εἰς φωνὴν περιτομῆς αὐτῆς ἀνήφθη πῦρ ἐπ’ αὐτήν, μεγάλη ἡ θλῖψις ἐπὶ σέ, ἠχρεώθησαν οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς.	16 ἐλαίαν ὡραίαν, εὔσκιον τῷ εἴδει ἐκάλεσε Κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου· εἰς φωνὴν περιτομῆς αὐτῆς ἀνήφθη πῦρ ἐπ’ αὐτήν, μεγάλη ἡ θλῖψις ἐπὶ σέ, ἠχρεώθησαν οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς.
16 The Lord called your name a fair olive tree, of a good shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction coming on you: her branches are become good for nothing.	16 The Lord called your name a fair olive tree, of a good shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction coming on you: her branches are become good for nothing.

17 For Yahweh of armies, that planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israēl and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.

17 καὶ κύριος ὁ καταφυτεύσας σὲ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κακίας οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἴκου Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς τοῦ παροργίσαι με ἐν τῷ θυμιᾶν αὐτοὺς τῇ Βάαλ.	17 καὶ Κύριος ὁ καταφυτεύσας σε ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κακίας οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἴκου Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς τοῦ παροργίσαι με ἐν τῷ θυμιᾶν αὐτοὺς τῇ Βάαλ.
17 And the Lord that planted you have pronounced evils against you, because of the iniquity of the house of Israēl and the house of Juda, whatever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal.	17 And the Lord that planted you have pronounced evils against you, because of the iniquity of the house of Israēl and the house of Juda, whatever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal.

18 And Yahweh has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.

18 κύριε, γνώρισόν μοι, καὶ γνώσομαι· τότε εἶδον τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν.	18 Κύριε, γνώρισόν μοι, καὶ γνώσομαι· τότε εἶδον τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν.
18 Oh Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices.	18 Oh Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices.

19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I didn’t know that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let’s destroy the tree with the fruit of it, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

19 ἐγὼ δὲ ὡς ἀρνίον ἄκακον ἀγόμενον τοῦ θύεσθαι οὐκ ἔγνων· ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐλογίσαντο λογισμὸν πονηρὸν λέγοντες δεῦτε καὶ ἐμβάλωμεν ξύλον εἰς τὸν ἄρτον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκτρίψωμεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ γῆς ζώντων, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ ἔτι.	19 ἐγὼ δὲ ὡς ἀρνίον ἄκακον ἀγόμενον τοῦ θύεσθαι οὐκ ἔγνων· ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐλογίσαντο λογισμὸν πονηρὸν λέγοντες· δεῦτε καὶ ἐμβάλωμεν ξύλον εἰς τὸν ἄρτον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκτρίψωμεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ γῆς ζώντων, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ οὐκέτι.
19 But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, didn’t know: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let’s put wood into his bread, and let’s utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more.	19 But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, didn’t know: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let’s put wood into his bread, and let’s utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more.

20 But, Oh Yahweh of armies, that judges righteously, that try the insides and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

20 κύριε κρίνων δίκαια δοκιμάζων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σου ἐκδίκησιν ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὸ δικαίωμά μου.	20 Κύριε κρίνων δίκαια, δοκιμάζων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐκδίκησιν ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὸ δικαίωμά μου.
20 Oh Lord, that judges righteously, trying the insides and hearts, let me see your vengeance taken on them, for to you I have declared my cause.	20 Oh Lord, that judges righteously, trying the insides and hearts, let me see your vengeance taken on them, for to you I have declared my cause.

21 Therefore thus says Yahweh of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of Yahweh, that you die not by our hand.

21 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας Ἀναθὼθ τοὺς ζητοῦντας τὴν ψυχήν μου τοὺς λέγοντας οὐ μὴ προφητεύσῃς ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου· εἰ δὲ μή, ἀποθανῇ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ἡμῶν.	21 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας Ἀναθὼθ τοὺς ζητοῦντας τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοὺς λέγοντας· οὐ μὴ προφητεύσεις ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, εἰ δὲ μή, ἀποθάνῃ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ἡμῶν.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, You shall not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if you do, you shall die by our hands.	21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, You shall not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if you do, you shall die by our hands.

22 Therefore thus says Yahweh of armies, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.

22 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπ’ αὐτούς· οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῶν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν τελευτήσουσιν ἐν λιμῷ,	22 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπ’ αὐτούς· οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῶν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν τελευτήσουσιν ἐν λιμῷ,
22 behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine.	22 behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine.

23 And there shall be no remnant of them; for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

23 καὶ ἐγκατάλειμμα οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπάξω κακὰ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἀναθὼθ ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν.	23 καὶ ἐγκατάλειμμα οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπάξω κακὰ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἀναθώθ, ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν.
23 and there shall be no remnant left of them; for I will bring evil on the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation.	23 and there shall be no remnant left of them; for I will bring evil on the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation.
