Jeremiah

1 Yahweh showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of Yahweh, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

1 ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος δύο καλάθους σύκων κειμένους κατὰ πρόσωπον ναοῦ κυρίου μετὰ τὸ ἀποικίσαι Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Ἰεχονίαν υἱὸν Ἰωακὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς τεχνίτας καὶ τοὺς δεσμώτας καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα·	1 Ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος δύο καλάθους σύκων κειμένους κατὰ πρόσωπον ναοῦ Κυρίου μετὰ τὸ ἀποικίσαι Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Ἰεχονίαν υἱὸν Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς τεχνίτας καὶ τοὺς δεσμώτας καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα·
1 The Lord showed me two baskets of figs, lying in front of the temple of the Lord, after Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda, and the princes, and the artificers, and the prisoners, and the rich men out of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.	1 The Lord showed me two baskets of figs, lying in front of the temple of the Lord, after Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda, and the princes, and the artificers, and the prisoners, and the rich men out of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very naughty figs, which couldn’t be eaten, they were so bad.

2 ὁ κάλαθος ὁ εἷς σύκων χρηστῶν σφόδρα ὡς τὰ σῦκα τὰ πρόιμα, καὶ ὁ κάλαθος ὁ ἕτερος σύκων πονηρῶν σφόδρα, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.	2 ὁ κάλαθος ὁ εἷς σύκων χρηστῶν σφόδρα, ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ πρώϊμα, καὶ ὁ κάλαθος ὁ ἕτερος σύκων πονηρῶν σφόδρα, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.
2 The one basket was full of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was full of very bad figs, which couldn’t be eaten, for their badness.	2 The one basket was full of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was full of very bad figs, which couldn’t be eaten, for their badness.

3 Then said Yahweh to me, What see you, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

3 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με τί σὺ ὁρᾷς, Ἰερεμία; καὶ εἶπα σῦκα· τὰ χρηστὰ χρηστὰ λίαν, καὶ τὰ πονηρὰ πονηρὰ λίαν, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.	3 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· τί σὺ ὁρᾷς, Ἱερεμία; καὶ εἶπα· σύκα· τὰ χρηστὰ χρηστὰ λίαν, καὶ τὰ πονηρὰ πονηρὰ λίαν, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.
3 And the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremias? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for their badness.	3 And the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremias? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for their badness.

4 Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

4 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων	4 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,	4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

5 Thus says Yahweh, Elohim of Israēl; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

5 τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ὡς τὰ σῦκα τὰ χρηστὰ ταῦτα, οὕτως ἐπιγνώσομαι τοὺς ἀποικισθέντας Ἰούδα, οὓς ἐξαπέσταλκα ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων εἰς ἀγαθά.	5 τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ χρηστὰ ταῦτα, οὕτως ἐπιγνώσομαι τοὺς ἀποικισθέντας Ἰούδα, οὓς ἐξαπέσταλκα ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων εἰς ἀγαθά.
5 Thus says the Lord, Elohim of Israēl; As these good figs, so will I acknowledge the Joudeans that have been carried away captive, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.	5 Thus says the Lord, Elohim of Israēl; As these good figs, so will I acknowledge the Joudeans that have been carried away captive, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.

6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

6 καὶ στηριῶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀγαθὰ καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην εἰς ἀγαθὰ καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ καθελῶ καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκτίλω·	6 καὶ στηριῶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀγαθὰ καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην εἰς ἀγαθὰ καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ καθελῶ καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκτίλω.
6 And I will fix my eyes on them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good; and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.	6 And I will fix my eyes on them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good; and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

7 καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν τοῦ εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς ἐμὲ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν, ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν.	7 καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν τοῦ εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς ἐμέ, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν, ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God; for they shall turn to me with all their heart.	7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God; for they shall turn to me with all their heart.

8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus says Yahweh, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.

8 καὶ ὡς τὰ σῦκα τὰ πονηρά, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν, τάδε λέγει κύριος, οὕτως παραδώσω τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοὺς ὑπολελειμμένους ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ·	8 καὶ ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ πονηρά, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσονται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὕτως παραδώσω τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοὺς ὑπολελειμμένους ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, for their badness; thus says the Lord, So will I deliver Sedekias king of Juda, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, those who are left in this land, and the dwellers in Egypt.	8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, for their badness; thus says the Lord, So will I deliver Sedekias king of Juda, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, those who are left in this land, and the dwellers in Egypt.

9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places to which I shall drive them.

9 καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς διασκορπισμὸν εἰς πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν καὶ εἰς παραβολὴν καὶ εἰς μῖσος καὶ εἰς κατάραν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, οὗ ἐξῶσα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ·	9 καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς διασκορπισμὸν εἰς πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν καὶ εἰς παραβολὴν καὶ εἰς μῖσος καὶ εἰς κατάραν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, οὗ ἐξῶσα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
9 And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an object of hatred, and a curse, in every place to which I have driven them out.	9 And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an object of hatred, and a curse, in every place to which I have driven them out.

10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

10 καὶ ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς τὸν λιμὸν καὶ τὸν θάνατον καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν, ἕως ἄν ἐκλίπωσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς.	10 καὶ ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς τὸν λιμὸν καὶ τὸν θάνατον καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν, ἕως ἄν ἐκλείπωσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς.
10 And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I gave them.	10 And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I gave them.
