Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι τῆς βίβλου οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰερεμίας ἐξ Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἀποικίας καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ψευδοπροφήτας, ἐπιστολὴν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα τῇ ἀποικίᾳ, καὶ πρὸς ἅπαντα τὸν λαόν,

ὕστερον ἐξελθόντος Ἰεχονίου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς βασιλίσσης καὶ τῶν εὐνούχων καὶ παντὸς ἐλευθέρου καὶ δεσμώτου καὶ τεχνίτου ἐξ Ἰερουσαλήμ,

ἐν χειρὶ Ἐλεασὰν υἱοῦ Σαφὰν καὶ Γομαρίου υἱοῦ Χελκίου, ὃν ἀπέστειλεν Σεδεκίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, λέγων

Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν ἣν ἀπῴκισα ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλήμ

Οἰκοδομήσατε οἴκους καὶ κατοικήσατε, καὶ φυτεύσατε παραδείσους καὶ φάγετε τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῶν,

καὶ λάβετε γυναῖκας καὶ τεκνοποιήσατε υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ λάβετε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν ἀνδράσιν δότε, καὶ πληθύνεσθε καὶ| μὴ σμικρυνθῆτε,

καὶ ζητήσατε εἰς εἰρήνην τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν ἀπῴκισα ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ, καὶ προσεύξασθε περὶ αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον, ὅτι ἐν εἰρήνῃ ¹² αὐτῆς εἰρήνη ὑμῶν.

ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Μὴ ἀναπειθέτωσαν ³ ὑμᾶς οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ μὴ ἀναπειθέτωσαν ὑμᾶς οἱ μάντεις ὑμῶν, καὶ μὴ ἀκούετε εἰς τὰ ἐνύπνια ὑμῶν ἃ ὑμεῖς ἐνυπνιάζεσθε·

ὅτι ἄδικα αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς.

ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ὅταν μέλλῃ πληροῦσθαι Βαβυλῶνι ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, ἐπισκέψομαι ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπιστήσω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τοῦ τὸν λαὸν ὑμῶν ἀποστρέψαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον,

καὶ λογιοῦμαι ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς λογισμὸν εἰρήνης καὶ οὐ κακά, τοῦ δοῦναι ὑμῖν ταῦτα.

καὶ προσεύξασθε πρὸς μέ, καὶ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν·

καὶ ἐκζητήσατέ με, καὶ εὑρήσετέ με· ὅτι ζητήσετέ με ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν,

καὶ ἐπιφανοῦμαι ὑμῖν.

Ὅτι εἴπατε Κατέστησεν ἡμῖν Κύριος προφήτας ἐν Βαβυλῶνι·

οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἀχιὰβ καὶ ἐπὶ Σεδεκίαν Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πατάξει αὐτοὺς κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς ⁴⁶ ὑμῶν.

καὶ λήμψονται ἀτ᾿ αὐτῶν κατάραν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀποικίᾶ Ἰούδα ἐν Βαβυλῶνι λέγοντες Ποιήσαι σε Κύριος ὡς Σεδεκίαν ἐποίησεν καὶ ὡς Ἀχιάβ, οὕς ἀπετηγάνισεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν πυρί,

δι᾿ ἣν ἐποίησαν ἀνομίαν ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο τὰς γυναῖκας τῶν πολιτῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ λόγον ἐχρημάτισαν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου ὃν οὐ συνέταξζ αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐγὼ μάρτυς, φησὶν Κύριος.

Καί πρὸς Σαμαίαν τὸν Αἰλαμείτην ἐρεῖς

Οὐκ ἀπέστειλά σε τῷ ὀνόματί μου. καὶ πρὸς Σοφονίαν νἱὸν Μαασίου τὸν ἱερέα εἰπέ

Κύριος ἔδωκέν σε εἰς ἱερέα ἀντὶ Ἰωδᾶε τοῦ ἱερέως, γενέσθαι ἐνιστάτην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳω προφητεύοντι καὶ παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ μαινομένῳ, καὶ δώσεις αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ἀπόκλεισμα καὶ εἰς τὸν καταράκτην.

καὶ νῦν διὰ τί συνελοιδορήσατε Ἰερεμίαν τὸν ἐξ Ἀναθὼθ τὸν προφητεύσαντα ὑμῖν;

οὐ διὰ τοῦτο ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα λέγων Μακράν ἐστιν, οἰκοδομήσατε οἰκίας καὶ κατοικήσατε, καὶ φυτεύσατε κήπους καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν;

καὶ ἀνέγνω Σοφονίας τὸ βιβλίον εἰς τὰ ὦτα Ἰερεμίου.

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἰερεμίαν λέγων

Ἀπόστειλον πρὸς τὴν ἀποικίαν λέγων Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος ἐπὶ Σαμαίαν τὸν Αἰλαμείτην Ἐπειδὴ ἐπροφήτευσεν ὑμῖν Σαμαίας καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτόν, καὶ πεποιθέναι ἐποίησεν ὑμᾶς ἐπ᾿ ἀδίκοις,

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπὶ Σαμαίαν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω ὑμῖω. οὐκ ὄψονται.

Ἱερεμίας (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Jeremiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 36 focus

It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

Take a scroll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.

Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can't go into the house of Yahweh:

therefore go you, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in Yahweh's house on the fast-day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.

It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Yahweh has pronounced against this people.

Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in Yahweh's house.

Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.

Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh's house, in the ears of all the people.

When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Yahweh,

he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, behold, all the princes were sitting there, [to wit], Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.

They said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

They asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?

Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.

They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king.

Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and [there was a fire in] the brazier burning before him.

It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.

Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them.

The king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.

Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?

Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn't listen.

Then took Jeremiah another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides to them many like words.
