Jeremiah 30

1 ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος· μὴ υἱοὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐν Ἰσραήλ, ἢ παραληψόμενος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς; διατί παρέλαβε Μελχὸλ τὴν Γαλαάδ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἐνοικήσει;

1 CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus says the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? therefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?

2 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀκουτιῶ ἐπὶ Ραββὰθ θόρυβον πολέμων, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ βωμοὶ αὐτῆς ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσονται, καὶ παραλήψεται Ἰσραὴλ τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ.

2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burnt with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.

3 ἀλάλαξον Ἐσεβών, ὅτι ὤλετο Γαΐ· κεκράξατε θυγατέρες Ραββάθ, περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόψασθε, ὅτι Μελχὸλ βαδιεῖται ἐν ἀποικίᾳ, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.

3 Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, you⌃ daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.

4 τί ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις Ἐνακείμ, θύγατερ ἰταμίας, ἡ πεποιθυῖα ἐπὶ θησαυροῖς αὐτῆς, ἡ λέγουσα· τίς εἰσελεύσεται ἐπ' ἐμέ;

4 Why do you⌃ exult in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in [your] treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?

5 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω φόβον ἐπὶ σέ, εἶπε Κύριος, ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς περιοίκου σου, καὶ διασπαρήσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ συνάγων.

5 Behold, I [will] bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you⌃ shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.

6 Τῇ Κηδὰρ τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τῆς αὐλῆς, ἣν ἐπάταξε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος. Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ Κηδὰρ καὶ πλήσατε τοὺς υἱοὺς Κεδέμ·

6 CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus says the Lord; Arise you⌃, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem. (verse 28 in Brenton's English)

7 σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν λήψονται, ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν καὶ καμήλους αὐτῶν λήψονται ἑαυτοῖς· καὶ καλέσατε ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἀπώλειαν κυκλόθεν.

7 They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon you⌃ destruction against them from every side. (verse 29 in Brenton's English)

8 φεύγετε λίαν, βαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν, καθήμενοι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, ὅτι ἐβουλεύσατο ἐφ' ὑμᾶς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βουλὴν καὶ ἐλογίσατο ἐφ' ὑμᾶς λογισμόν.

8 Flee you⌃, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, you⌃ that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you. (verse 30 in Brenton's English)

9 ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἀνάβηθι ἐπ' ἔθνος εὐσταθοῦν, καθήμενον εἰς ἀναψυχήν, οἷς οὐκ εἰσὶ θύραι, οὐ βάλανοι, οὐ μοχλοί, μόνοι καταλύουσι.

9 Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone. (verse 31 in Brenton's English)

10 καὶ ἔσονται κάμηλοι αὐτῶν εἰς προνομὴν καὶ πλῆθος κτηνῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀπώλειαν· καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς παντὶ πνεύματι κεκαρμένους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ἐκ παντὸς πέραν αὐτῶν οἴσω τὴν τροπὴν αὐτῶν, εἶπε Κύριος.

10 And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, says the Lord. (verse 32 in Brenton's English)

11 καὶ ἔσται ἡ αὐλὴ διατριβὴ στρουθῶν καὶ ἄβατος ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐ μὴ καθίσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσῃ ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

11 And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there. (verse 33 in Brenton's English)

12 Τῇ Δαμασκῷ. Κατῃσχύνθη Ἠμὰθ καὶ Ἀρφάδ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἀκοὴν πονηράν· ἐξέστησαν, ἐθυμώθησαν, ἀναπαύσασθαι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται.

12 CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest. (verse 23 in Brenton's English)

13 ἐξελύθη Δαμασκός, ἀπεστράφη εἰς φυγήν, τρόμος ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς.

13 Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her. (verse 24 in Brenton's English)

14 πῶς οὐχὶ ἐγκατέλιπε πόλιν ἐμήν; κώμην ἠγάπησαν·

14 How has she not left my city, they have loved the village? (verse 25 in Brenton's English)

15 διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται νεανίσκοι ἐν πλατείαις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου πεσοῦνται, φησὶ Κύριος·

15 Therefore shall the young men fall in your streets, and all your warriors shall fall, says the Lord. (verse 26 in Brenton's English)

16 καὶ καύσω πῦρ ἐν τείχει Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἄμφοδα υἱοῦ Ἄδερ.

16 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader. (verse 27 in Brenton's English)
