Jeremiah

1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

1 καὶ ἤκουσεν Πασχὼρ υἱὸς Ἐμμὴρ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ οὗτος ἦν καθεσταμένος ἡγούμενος οἴκου κυρίου, τοῦ Ἱερεμίου προφητεύοντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους.	1 Καὶ ἤκουσε Πασχὼρ ὁ υἱὸς Ἐμμὴρ ὁ ἱερεύς – καὶ οὗτος ἦν καθεσταμένος ἡγούμενος οἴκου Κυρίου – τοῦ Ἱερεμίου προφητεύοντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.	1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.

2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of Yahweh.

2 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν καταρράκτην, ὃς ἦν ἐν πύλῃ οἴκου ἀποτεταγμένου τοῦ ὑπερῴου, ὃς ἦν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου.	2 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν καταρράκτην, ὃς ἦν ἐν πύλῃ οἴκου ἀποτεταγμένου τοῦ ὑπερῴου, ὃς ἦν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
2 And he smote him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.	2 And he smote him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.

3 And it happened on the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, Yahweh hasn’t called your name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

3 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν Πασχὼρ τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐκ τοῦ καταρράκτου, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἱερεμίας οὐχὶ Πασχὼρ ἐκάλεσεν κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου, ἀλλ’ ἢ μέτοικον·	3 καὶ ἐξήγαγε Πασχὼρ τὸν Ἱερεμίαν ἐκ τοῦ καταρράκτου, καὶ εἶπε αὐτῷ Ἱερεμίας· οὐχὶ Πασχὼρ ἐκάλεσε Κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου, ἀλλ’ ἢ Μέτοικον.
3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon; and Jeremias said to him, The Lord hasn’t called your name Paschor, but Exile.	3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon; and Jeremias said to him, The Lord hasn’t called your name Paschor, but Exile.

4 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

4 διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σὲ εἰς μετοικίαν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς φίλοις σου, καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί, σου ὄψονται καὶ σὲ καὶ πάντα Ἰούδαν δώσω εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ μετοικιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν μαχαίραις·	4 διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σε εἰς μετοικίαν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς φίλοις σου, καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται, καὶ σὲ καὶ πάντα Ἰούδαν δώσω εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ μετοικιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατακόψουσιν ἐν μαχαίραις.
4 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I will give you up to captivity with all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give you and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.	4 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I will give you up to captivity with all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give you and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.

5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the precious things of it, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

5 καὶ δώσω τὴν πᾶσαν ἰσχὺν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄξουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.	5 καὶ δώσω τὴν πᾶσαν ἰσχὺν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄξουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.	5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.

6 And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and shall be buried there, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

6 καὶ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου πορεύσεσθε ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ, καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ἀποθανῇ καὶ ἐκεῖ ταφήσῃ, σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου, οἷς ἐπροφήτευσας αὐτοῖς ψευδῆ.	6 καὶ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου πορεύσεσθε ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ, καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ἀποθανῇ καὶ ἐκεῖ ταφήσῃ, σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου, οἷς ἐπροφήτευσας αὐτοῖς ψευδῆ.
6 And you and all the dwellers in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall die in Babylon, and there you and all your friends shall be buried, to whom you have prophesied lies.	6 And you and all the dwellers in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall die in Babylon, and there you and all your friends shall be buried, to whom you have prophesied lies.

7 Oh Yahweh, you have deceived me, and I was deceived: you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in derision daily, everyone mocks me.

7 ἠπάτησάς με, κύριε, καὶ ἠπατήθην, ἐκράτησας καὶ ἠδυνάσθης· ἐγενόμην εἰς γέλωτα, πᾶσαν ἡμέραν διετέλεσα μυκτηριζόμενος·	7 Ἠπάτησάς με, Κύριε, καὶ ἠπατήθην, ἐκράτησας καὶ ἠδυνάσθης· ἐγενόμην εἰς γέλωτα, πᾶσαν ἡμέραν διετέλεσα μυκτηριζόμενος·
7 You have deceived me, Oh Lord, and I have been deceived: you have been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock, I am continually mocked every day.	7 You have deceived me, Oh Lord, and I have been deceived: you have been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock, I am continually mocked every day.

8 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of Yahweh was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.

8 ὅτι πικρῷ λόγῳ μου γελάσομαι, ἀθεσίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπικαλέσομαι, ὅτι ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἰς χλευασμὸν πᾶσαν ἡμέραν μου.	8 ὅτι πικρῷ λόγῳ μου γελάσομαι, ἀθεσίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπικαλέσομαι, ὅτι ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἰς χλευασμὸν πᾶσαν ἡμέραν μου.
8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call on rebellion and misery; for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.	8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call on rebellion and misery; for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.

9 Then I said, I won’t make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I couldn’t stay.

9 καὶ εἶπα οὐ μὴ ὀνομάσω τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ λαλήσω ἔτι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον φλέγον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου, καὶ παρεῖμαι πάντοθεν καὶ οὐ δύναμαι φέρειν.	9 καὶ εἶπα· οὐ μὴ ὀνομάσω τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ λαλήσω ἔτι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον φλέγον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου, καὶ παρεῖμαι πάντοθεν καὶ οὐ δύναμαι φέρειν.
9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and cannot bear up.	9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and cannot bear up.

10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

10 ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν συναθροιζομένων κυκλόθεν ἐπισύστητε καὶ ἐπισυστῶμεν αὐτῷ, πάντες ἄνδρες φίλοι αὐτοῦ· τηρήσατε τὴν ἐπίνοιαν αὐτοῦ, εἰ ἀπατηθήσεται καὶ δυνησόμεθα αὐτῷ καὶ λημψόμεθα τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ἡμῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.	10 ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν συναθροιζομένων κυκλόθεν· ἐπισύστητε καὶ ἐπισυστῶμεν αὐτῷ, πάντες ἄνδρες φίλοι αὐτοῦ· τηρήσατε τὴν ἐπίνοιαν αὐτοῦ, εἰ ἀπατηθήσεται καὶ δυνησόμεθα αὐτῷ καὶ ληψόμεθα τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ἡμῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, saying, Conspire you, and let’s conspire together against him, even all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.	10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, saying, Conspire you, and let’s conspire together against him, even all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.

11 But Yahweh is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

11 καὶ κύριος μετ’ ἐμοῦ καθὼς μαχητὴς ἰσχύων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωξαν καὶ νοῆσαι οὐκ ἠδύναντο· ᾐσχύνθησαν σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἀτιμίας αὐτῶν, αἳ δι’ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσονται.	11 ὁ δὲ Κύριος μετ’ ἐμοῦ καθὼς μαχητὴς ἰσχύων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωξαν καὶ νοῆσαι οὐκ ἠδύναντο· ᾐσχύνθησαν σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἀτιμίας αὐτῶν, αἳ δι’ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσονται.
11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war; therefore they persecuted me, but couldn’t perceive anything against me; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.	11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war; therefore they persecuted me, but couldn’t perceive anything against me; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.

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

12 κύριε δοκιμάζων δίκαια συνίων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σου ἐκδίκησιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὰ ἀπολογήματά μου.	12 Κύριε, δοκιμάζων δίκαια, συνίων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐκδίκησιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὰ ἀπολογήματά μου. –
12 Oh Lord, that prove just deeds, understanding the insides and hearts, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.	12 Oh Lord, that prove just deeds, understanding the insides and hearts, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.

13 Sing to Yahweh, praise you Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

13 ᾄσατε τῷ κυρίῳ, αἰνέσατε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἐξείλατο ψυχὴν πένητος ἐκ χειρὸς πονηρευομένων.	13 ᾌσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ, αἰνέσατε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἐξείλατο ψυχὴν πένητος ἐκ χειρὸς πονηρευομένων. –
13 Sing you to the Lord, sing praise to him; for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.	13 Sing you to the Lord, sing praise to him; for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.

14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: don’t let the day in which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.

14 ἐπικατάρατος ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἐτέχθην ἐν αὐτῇ· ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἔτεκέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου, μὴ ἔστω ἐπευκτή.	14 Ἐπικατάρατος ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἐτέχθην ἐν αὐτῇ· ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἔτεκέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου, μὴ ἔστω ἐπευκτή.
14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: the day in which my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.	14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: the day in which my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born to you; making him very glad.

15 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εὐαγγελισάμενος τῷ πατρί μου λέγων ἐτέχθη σοί ἄρσεν, εὐφραινόμενος.	15 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εὐαγγελισάμενος τῷ πατρί μου λέγων· ἐτέχθη σοι ἄρσην, εὐφραινόμενος.
15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to you.	15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to you.

16 And let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

16 ἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὡς αἱ πόλεις, ἃς κατέστρεψεν κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη, ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τὸ πρωῒ καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας,	16 ἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὡς αἱ πόλεις, ἃς κατέστρεψε Κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη· ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τῷ πρωῒ καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας,
16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;	16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;

17 Because he killed me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

17 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπέκτεινέν με ἐν μήτρᾳ μητρὸς καὶ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ μήτηρ μου τάφος μου καὶ ἡ μήτρα συλλήμψεως αἰωνίας.	17 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπέκτεινέ με ἐν μήτρᾳ μητρὸς καὶ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ μήτηρ μου τάφος μου καὶ ἡ μήτρα συλλήψεως αἰωνίας.
17 because he killed me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.	17 because he killed me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.

18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

18 ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἐξῆλθον ἐκ μήτρας τοῦ βλέπειν κόπους καὶ πόνους, καὶ διετέλεσαν ἐν αἰσχύνῃ αἱ ἡμέραι μου;	18 ἱνατί τοῦτο ἐξῆλθον ἐκ μήτρας τοῦ βλέπειν κόπους καὶ πόνους, καὶ διετέλεσαν ἐν αἰσχύνῃ αἱ ἡμέραι μου;
18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?	18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
