Λόγος Κυρίου ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα.

Ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε καὶ μὴ κρύψητε· εἴπατε Ἑάλωκεν Βαβυλών, κατῃσχύνθη Βῆλος ἡ ἀπτόητος, ἡ τρυφερὰ παρεδόθη Μαιωδάκ.

ὅτι ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔθνος ἀπὸ βορρᾶ· οἶτος θήσει τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἕως κτήνους.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἥξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ βαδίζοντες καὶ κλαίοντες πορεύσονται, τὸν κύριον θεὸν αὐτῶν ζητοῦντες.

ἕως Σειὼν ἐρωτήσουσιν τὴν ὁδόν, ὦδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσιν, καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς Κύριον τὸν θεόν· διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.

Πρόβατα ἀπολωλότα ἐγενήθη ὁ λαός μου, οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν ἐξῶσαν αὐτούς, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ἀπεπλάνησαν αὐτούς, ἐξ ὄρους ἐπὶ βουνὸν ᾤχοντο, ἐπελάθοντο κοίτης αὐτῶν.

πάντες οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτοὺς κατανάλισκον αὐτούς· οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν εἶπαν Μὴ ἀνῶμεν αὐτούς, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἥμαρτον τῷ κυρίῳ· νομὴ δικαιοσύνης τῷ συναγαγόντι τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.

ἀπαλλοτριὼθητε ἐκ μέσου Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐξέλθατε, καὶ γένεσθε ὥσπερ δράκοντες κατὰ πρόσωπον προβάτων.

ὅτι ίδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν ἐκ γῆς βορρᾶ, καὶ παρατάξονται αὐτῇ· ἐκεῖθεν ἁλώσεται, ὡς βολὶς ¹² μαχητοῦ συνετοῦ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει κενή.

καὶ ἔσται ἡ Χαλδαία εἰς ³ προνομήν, πάντες οἱ προνομεύοντες αὐτὴν ἐνπλησθήσονται.

ὅτι ηὐφραίνεσθε καὶ κατεκαυχᾶσθε διαρπάζοντες τὴν κληρονομίαν μου, διότι ἐσκιρτᾶτε ὡς βοίδια ἐν βοτάνῃ, καὶ ἐκερατίζετε ὡς ταῦροι.

ᾐσχύνθη ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν σφόδρα. μήτηρ ἐπʼ ἀγαθά, ἐσχάτη ἐθνῶν, ἔρημος,

ἀπὸ ὀργῆς Κυρίου οὐ κατοικηθήσεται· καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν πᾶσα, καὶ πᾶς ὁ διοδεύων διὰ Βαβυλῶνος σκυθρωπάσει, καὶ συριοῦσιν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν πληγὴν αὐτῆς.

παρατάξασθε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα κύκλῳ πάντες τείνοντες τόξον, τοξεύσατε ἐπʼ αὐτήν, μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ τοῖς τοξεύμασιν ὑμῶν,

καὶ κατακρατήσατε αὐτὴν· παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῆς, ἔπεσαν αἱ ἐπάλξεις αὐτῆς, καὶ κατεσκάφη τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς· ὅτι ἐκδίκησις παρὰ θεοῦ ἐστίν, ἐκδικεῖτε ἐπʼ αὐτήν, καθὼς ἐποίησεν ποιήσατε αὐτῇ.

ἐξολεθρεύσατε σπέρμα ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος κατέχοντα δρέπανον ἐν καιρῷ θερισμοῦ, ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας Ἑλληνικῆς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψουσιν, καὶ ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ φεύξεται.

Πρόβατον πλανώμενον Ἰσραήλ, λέοντες ἐξῶσαν αὐτόν· ὁ πρῶτος ἔφαγεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσούρ, καὶ οὕτος ὕστερον τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐπὶ τὸν Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἐξεδίκησα ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσούρ.

καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ νεμήσεται ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ καὶ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφράιμ καὶ ἐν τῷ Γαλαάδ, καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ⁴⁶ ἐκείνῳ ζητήσουσιν τὴν ἀδικίαν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας Ἰούδα, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῶσιν, ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι τοῖς ὑπολελιμμένοις ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, λέγει Κύριος.

Πικρῶς ἐπίβηθι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπʼ αὐτὴν· ἐκδίκησον μάχαιρα καὶ ἀφάνισον, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποίει κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐντέλλομαί σοι.

φωνὴ πολέμου καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη ἐν γῆ Χαλδαίων.

πῶς ἐκλάσθη καὶ συνετρίβη ἡ σφῦρα πάσης τῆς γῆς; πῶς ἐγενήθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν Βαβυλὼν ἐν ἔθνεσιν;

ἐπιβήσονταί σοι, καὶ οὐ γνώσῃ ὡς Βαβυλὼν καὶ ἁλώσῃ· εὑρέθης καὶ ἐλήμφθης, ὅτι τῷ κυρίῳ ἀντέστης.

ἤνοιξεν Κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν τὰ σκεύη ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἔργον τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων,

ὅτι ἐληλύθασιν οἱ καιροὶ αὐτῆς. ἀνοίξατε τὰς ἀποθήκας αὐτῆς, ἐραυνήσατε αὐτὴν ὡς σπήλαιον καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσατε αὐτήν, μὴ γενέσθω αὐτῆς κατάλιμμα·

ἀναξηράνατε αὐτῆς πάντας τοὺς καρπούς, καὶ καταβήτωσαν εἰς σφαγήν. οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτῶν καὶ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεως αὐτῶν.

φωνὴ φευγόντων καὶ ἀνασωζομένων ἐκ γῆς Βαβυλῶνος, τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι εἰς Σειὼν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ Κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

παραγγείλατε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα πολλοῖς, παντὶ ἐντείνοντι τόξον, παρεμβάλετε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν κυκλόθεν· μὴ ἔστω αὐτῆς ἀνασωζόμενος, ἀνταπόδοτε αὐτῇ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν ποιήσατε αὐτῇ, ὅτι πρὸς Κύριον ἀντέστη θεὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ αὐτῆς ῥιφήσονται, εἶπεν Κύριος.

⁷⁸

ἰβοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν ὑβρίστριαν, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα ⁹ σου καὶ ὁ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεώς σου,

καὶ ἀσθενήσει ἡ ὕβρις σου καὶ πεσεῖται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀνιστῶν αὐτήν· καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ αὐτῆς, καὶ καταφάγεται πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Καταδεδυνάστευνται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα, ἄμα πάντες οἵ αἰχμαλωτεύσαντες αὐτοὺς κατεδυνάστευσαν αὐτούς, ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐξαποστεῖλαι αὐτούς.

καὶ ὁ λυτρούμενος αὐτοὺς ἰσχυρός, Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ· κρίσιν κρινεῖ πρὸς τοὺς ἀντιδίκους αὐτοῦ, ὅπως ἐξάρῃ τὴν γῆν καὶ παροξυνεῖ τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Βαβυλῶνα.

μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς συνετοὺς αὐτῆς·

μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς μαχητὰς αὐτῆς, καὶ παραλυθήσονται· μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄρματα αὐτῶν·

μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς μαχητὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν σύμμικτον τὸν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσονται ὡσεὶ γυναῖκες· μάχαιραν ἐπὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται

ἐπὶ τῷ ὕδατι αὐτῆς, καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται, ὅτι γῆ τῶν γλυπτῶν ἐστιν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς νήσοις οὗ κατεκαυχῶντο.

διὰ τοῦτο κατοικήσουσιν ἰνδάλματα ἐν ταῖς νήσοις, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ θυγατέρες σειρήνων· οὐ μὴ κατοικηθῇ οὐκέτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

καθὼς κατέστρεψεν ὁ θεὸς Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα καὶ τὰς ὁμορούσας αὐταῖς, εἶπεν Κύριος, οὐ μὴ κατοικήσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ παροικήσει ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἔρχεται ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ ἔθνος μέγα καὶ βασιλεῖς πολλοὶ ἐξεγερθήσονται ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς,

τόξον καὶ ἐνχειρίδιον ἔχοντες· ¹⁰¹² ἰταμός ἐστιν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃ· φωνὴ αὐτῶν ὡς θάλασσα ἠχήσει, ἐφʼ ἵπποις ἱππάσονται παρασκευασμένοι ὥσπερ πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον, πρὸς σέ, θύγατερ Βαβυλῶνος.

ἤκουσεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ· θλίψις κατεκράτησεν αὐτοῦ, ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης.

ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ λέων ἀναβήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου εἰς Γαιθάν, ὅτι ταχέως ἐκδιώξω αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντα νεανίσκον ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐπιστήσω. ὅτι τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι ; καὶ τίς οὗτος ποιμὴν ὃς στήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου;

διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε τὴν βουλὴν Κυρίου ἣν βεβούλευται ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ λογισμοὺς αὐτοῦ οὓς ἐλογίσατο ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Χαλδαίους· ἐὰν μὴ διαφθαρῇ τὰ ἀρνία τῶν προβάτων αὐτῶν, ἐὰν μὴ ἀφανισθῇ νομὴ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.

ὅτι ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἁλώσεως Βαβυλῶνος σεισθήσεται ἡ γῆ, καὶ κραυγὴ ἐν ἔθνεσιν ἀκουσθήσεται.

Translations (1)

Jeremiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 27 focus

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

Thus says Yahweh to me: Make you bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;

and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

and give them a charge to their masters, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall you tell your masters:

I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.

Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.

All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.

It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says Yahweh, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

But as for you, don't you listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon:

for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, says Yahweh; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Don't listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

For I have not sent them, says Yahweh, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Yahweh's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

Don't listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?

But if they be prophets, and if the word of Yahweh be with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don't go to Babylon.

For thus says Yahweh of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,

which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

yes, thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them, says Yahweh; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
