Jeremiah 31

1 ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ, ὅτι ὤλετο· ἐλήφθη Καριαθαίμ, ᾐσχύνθη Ἀμὰθ καὶ ἡττήθη.

1 Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.

2 οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωάβ, γαυρίαμα ἐν Ἐσεβών· ἐλογίσαντο ἐπ' αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται, ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα.

2 There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after you shall go a sword;

3 ὅτι φωνὴ κεκραγότων ἐξ Ὠρωναίμ, ὄλεθρος καὶ σύντριμμα μέγα·

3 for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.

4 συνετρίβη Μωάβ, ἀναγγείλατε εἰς Ζογόρα,

4 Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:

5 ὅτι ἐπλήσθη Ἀλὼθ ἐν κλαυθμῷ, ἀναβήσεται κλαίων ἐν ὁδῷ Ὠρωναίμ, κραυγὴν συντρίμματος ἠκούσατε·

5 for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; you⌃ have heard a cry of destruction.

6 φεύγετε καὶ σώσατε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσεσθε ὥσπερ ὄνος ἄγριος ἐν ἐρήμῳ.

6 Flee you⌃, and save your lives, and you⌃ shall be as a wild ass in the desert.

7 ἐπειδὴ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν ὀχυρώμασί σου, καὶ σὺ συλληφθήσῃ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται Χαμὼς ἐν ἀποικίᾳ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.

7 Since you have trusted in your strong-hold, therefore you shall be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.

8 καὶ ἥξει ὄλεθρος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πόλιν, καὶ πόλις οὐ μὴ σωθῇ, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ αὐλών, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ πεδινή, καθὼς εἶπε Κύριος.

8 And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.

9 δότε σημεῖα τῇ Μωάβ, ὅτι ἁφῇ ἀναφθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς εἰς ἄβατον ἔσονται· πόθεν ἔνοικος αὐτῇ;

9 Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?

10 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ποιῶν τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου ἀμελῶς, ἐξαίρων μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἀφ' αἵματος.

10 Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.

11 ἀνεπαύσατο Μωὰβ ἐκ παιδαρίου καὶ πεποιθὼς ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνέχεεν ἐξ ἀγγείου εἰς ἀγγεῖον καὶ εἰς ἀποικισμὸν οὐκ ᾤχετο· διὰ τοῦτο ἔστη γεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὀσμὴ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέλιπε.

11 Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.

12 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστελῶ αὐτῷ κλίνοντας, καὶ κλινοῦσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ λεπτυνοῦσι καὶ τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ συγκόψουσι.

12 Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.

13 καὶ καταισχυνθήσεται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ Χαμώς, ὥσπερ κατῃσχύνθη οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βαιθὴλ ἐλπίδος αὐτῶν πεποιθότες ἐπ' αὐτοῖς.

13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.

14 πῶς ἐρεῖτε· ἰσχυροί ἐσμεν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἰσχύων εἰς τὰ πολεμικά;

14 How will you⌃ say, We are strong, and men strong for war?

15 ὤλετο Μωὰβ πόλις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ νεανίσκοι αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς σφαγήν·

15 Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.

16 ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Μωὰβ ἐλθεῖν, καὶ πονηρία αὐτοῦ ταχεῖα σφόδρα.

16 The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].

17 κινήσατε αὐτῷ, πάντες κυκλόθεν αὐτοῦ, πάντες εἰδότες ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· εἴπατε· πῶς συνετρίβη βακτηρία εὐκλεής, ράβδος μεγαλώματος;

17 Shake [the head] at him, all you⌃ that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say you⌃, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!

18 κατάβηθι ἀπὸ δόξης καὶ κάθισον ἐν ὑγρασίᾳ, καθημένη Δαιβών· ἐκτριβήσεται, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ, ἀνέβη εἰς σὲ λυμαινόμενος ὀχύρωμά σου.

18 Come down from [your] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against you one to ravage your strong-hold.

19 ἐφ' ὁδοῦ στῆθι καὶ ἔπιδε, καθημένη ἐν Ἀροήρ, καὶ ἐρώτησον φεύγοντα καὶ σῳζόμενον καὶ εἰπόν· τί ἐγένετο;

19 Stand by the way, and look, you that dwell in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?

20 κατῃσχύνθη Μωάβ, ὅτι συνετρίβη· ὀλόλυξον καὶ κέκραξον, ἀνάγγειλον ἐν Ἀρνών, ὅτι ὤλετο Μωάβ·

20 Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.

21 καὶ κρίσις ἔρχεται εἰς τὴν γῆν Μεισὼρ ἐπὶ Χελὼν καὶ Ρεφὰς καὶ Μωφὰθ

21 And judgement is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,

22 καὶ ἐπὶ Δαιβὼν καὶ ἐπὶ Ναβαῦ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Δαιβλαθαὶμ

22 and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,

23 καὶ ἐπὶ Καριαθαὶμ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Γαιμὼλ καὶ ἐπ' οἶκον Μαὼν

23 and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,

24 καὶ ἐπὶ Καριὼθ καὶ ἐπὶ Βοσὸρ καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Μωὰβ τὰς πόρρω καὶ τὰς ἐγγύς.

24 and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.

25 κατεάχθη κέρας Μωάβ, καὶ τὸ ἐπίχειρον αὐτοῦ συνετρίβη.

25 The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.

26 μεθύσατε αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη· καὶ ἐπικρούσει Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται εἰς γέλωτα καὶ αὐτός.

26 Make you⌃ him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.

27 καὶ εἰ μὴ εἰς γελοιασμὸν ἦν σοι Ἰσραήλ; ἢ ἐν κλοπαῖς σου εὑρέθη, ὅτι ἐπολέμεις αὐτόν;

27 For surely Israel was to you a laughing stock, and was found amongst your thefts, because you did fight against him.

28 κατέλιπον τὰς πόλεις καὶ ᾤκησαν ἐν πέτραις οἱ κατοικοῦντες Μωάβ, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ περιστεραί νοσσεύουσαι ἐν πέτραις στόματι βοθύνου.

28 The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and lived in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.

29 ἤκουσα ὕβριν Μωάβ, ὕβρισε λίαν ὕβριν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπερηφανίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ.

29 And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.

30 ἐγὼ δὲ ἔγνων ἔργα αὐτοῦ· οὐχὶ τὸ ἱκανὸν αὐτοῦ, οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησε.

30 But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?

31 διὰ τοῦτο ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ὀλολύζετε πάντοθεν, βοήσατε ἐπ' ἄνδρας κειράδας αὐχμοῦ·

31 Therefore howl you⌃ for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you,

32 ὡς κλαυθμὸν Ἰαζὴρ ἀποκλαύσομαί σοι, ἄμπελος Σεβημά, κλήματά σου διῆλθε θάλασσαν, Ἰαζὴρ ἥψαντο· ἐπὶ ὀπώραν σου, ἐπὶ τρυγηταῖς σου ὄλεθρος ἐπέπεσε.

32 O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.

33 συνεψήθη χαρμοσύνη καὶ εὐφροσύνη ἐκ τῆς Μωαβίτιδος καὶ οἶνος ἦν ἐπὶ ληνοῖς σου· πρωΐ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν οὐδὲ δείλης, οὐκ ἐποίησαν αἰδάδ.

33 Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.

34 ἀπὸ κραυγῆς Ἐσεβὼν ἕως Ἐλεαλὴ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Ζογὸρ ἕως Ὠρωναὶμ καὶ Ἀγλάθ-Σαλισία, ὅτι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ Νεβρεὶν εἰς κατάκαυμα ἔσται.

34 From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.

35 καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ἀναβαίνοντα ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν καὶ θυμιῶντα θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.

35 And I will destroy Moab, says the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.

36 διὰ τοῦτο καρδία μου, Μωάβ, ὥσπερ αὐλοὶ βομβήσουσι, καρδία μου ἐπ' ἀνθρώπους κειράδας ὥσπερ αὐλὸς βομβήσει· διὰ τοῦτο ἃ περιεποιήσατο, ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου.

36 Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.

37 πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ξυρηθήσονται, καὶ πᾶς πώγων ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες κόψονται, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσης ὀσφύος σάκκος.

37 They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.

38 καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν δωμάτων Μωὰβ καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ὅτι συνέτριψα τὸν Μωάβ, φησὶ Κύριος, ὡς ἀγγεῖον, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ.

38 And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], says the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.

39 πῶς κατήλλαξε; πῶς ἔστρεψε νῶτον Μωάβ; ᾐσχύνθη καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ εἰς γέλωτα καὶ ἐγκότημα πᾶσι τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.

39 How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.

40 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος·

40 For thus said the Lord;

41 ἐλήφθη Ἀκκαριώθ, καὶ τὰ ὀχυρώματα συνελήφθη·

41 Carioth is taken, and the strongholds have been taken together.

42 καὶ ἀπολεῖται Μωὰβ ἀπὸ ὄχλου, ὅτι ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον ἐμεγαλύνθη.

42 And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.

43 παγὶς καὶ φόβος καὶ βόθυνος ἐπὶ σοί, καθήμενος Μωάβ·

43 A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab.

44 ὁ φεύγων ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ φόβου ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς τὸν βόθυνον, καὶ ὁ ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ βοθύνου συλληφθήσεται ἐν τῇ παγίδι, ὅτι ἐπάξω ταῦτα ἐπὶ Μωὰβ ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῆς.

44 He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
