Jeremiah 32

Ἱερεμίας

1 ΟΥΤΩΣ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· λαβὲ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ ἀκράτου τούτου ἐκ χειρός μου καὶ ποτιεῖς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, πρὸς ἃ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω σε πρὸς αὐτούς,

Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from my hand, and you shall cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send you. (verse 15 in Brenton's English)

2 καὶ πίονται καὶ ἐξεμοῦνται καὶ ἐκμανήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς μαχαίρας, ἧς ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν.

And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send amongst them. (verse 16 in Brenton's English)

3 καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ ποτήριον ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου καὶ ἐπότισα τὰ ἔθνη, πρὸς ἃ ἀπέστειλέ με Κύριος ἐπ' αὐτά,

So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink: (verse 17 in Brenton's English)

4 τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα καὶ βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα καὶ ἄρχοντας αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεῖναι αὐτὰς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καὶ εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς συριγμὸν

Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing; (verse 18 in Brenton's English)

5 καὶ τὸν Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτοῦ

and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people; (verse 19 in Brenton's English)

6 καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς συμμείκτους καὶ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἀλλοφύλων, τὴν Ἀσκάλωνα καὶ τὴν Γάζαν καὶ τὴν Ἀκκάρων καὶ τὸ ἐπίλοιπον Ἀζώτου

and all the mingled [people], and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus, (verse 20 in Brenton's English)

7 καὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν καὶ τὴν Μωαβῖτιν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν

and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, (verse 21 in Brenton's English)

8 καὶ βασιλεῖς Τύρου καὶ βασιλεῖς Σιδῶνος καὶ βασιλεῖς τοὺς ἐν τῷ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης

and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the [country] beyond the sea, (verse 22 in Brenton's English)

9 καὶ τὴν Δαιδὰν καὶ τὴν Θαιμὰν καὶ τὴν Ρῶς καὶ πᾶν περικεκαρμένον κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ

and Daedan, and Thaeman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face, (verse 23 in Brenton's English)

10 καὶ πάντας τοὺς συμμείκτους τοὺς καταλύοντας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

and all the mingled [people] lodging in the wilderness, (verse 24 in Brenton's English)

11 καὶ πάντας βασιλεῖς Αἰλὰμ καὶ πάντας βασιλεῖς Περσῶν

and all the kings of Aelam, and all the kings of the Persians, (verse 25 in Brenton's English)

12 καὶ πάντας βασιλεῖς ἀπὸ ἀπηλιώτου τοὺς πόρρω καὶ τοὺς ἐγγύς, ἕκαστον πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάσας βασιλείας τὰς ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.

and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdoms which are on the face of the earth. (verse 26 in Brenton's English)

13 καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· πίετε καὶ μεθύσθητε καὶ ἐξεμέσετε καὶ πεσεῖσθε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς μαχαίρας, ἧς ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ἀνὰ μέσον ὑμῶν.

And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink you⌃, be you⌃ drunken; and you⌃ shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send amongst you. (verse 27 in Brenton's English)

14 καὶ ἔσται ὅταν μὴ βούλωνται δέξασθαι τὸ ποτήριον ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ὥστε πιεῖν, καὶ ἐρεῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· πιόντες πίεσθε·

And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of your hand, to drink it, that you shall say, Thus said the Lord; You⌃ shall surely drink. (verse 28 in Brenton's English)

15 ὅτι ἐν πόλει, ἐν ᾗ ὠνομάσθη τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ' αὐτήν, ἐγὼ ἄρχομαι κακῶσαι, καὶ ὑμεῖς καθάρσει οὐ μὴ καθαρισθῆτε, ὅτι μάχαιραν ἐγὼ καλῶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

For I am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and you⌃ shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth. (verse 29 in Brenton's English)

16 καὶ σὺ προφητεύσεις ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ ἐρεῖς· Κύριος ἀφ' ὑψηλοῦ χρηματιεῖ, ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ δώσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ, λόγον χρηματιεῖ ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ αἰδὰδ ὥσπερ τρυγῶντες ἀποκριθήσονται· καὶ ἐπὶ καθημένους τὴν γῆν ἥκει ὄλεθρος

And you shall prophesy against them these words, and shall say, The Lord shall speak from on high, from his sanctuary he will utter his voice; he will pronounce a declaration on his place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes: and destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth, (verse 30 in Brenton's English)

17 ἐπὶ μέρος τῆς γῆς, ὅτι κρίσις τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, κρίνεται αὐτὸς πρὸς πᾶσαν σάρκα, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ἐδόθησαν εἰς μάχαιραν, λέγει Κύριος.

[even] upon [the extreme] part of the earth; for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, says the Lord. (verse 31 in Brenton's English)

18 οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ κακὰ ἔρχεται ἀπὸ ἔθνους ἐπὶ ἔθνος, καὶ λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἐκπορεύεται ἀπ' ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth. (verse 32 in Brenton's English)

19 καὶ ἔσονται τραυματίαι ὑπὸ Κυρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ Κυρίου, ἐκ μέρους τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἕως εἰς μέρος τῆς γῆς· οὐ μὴ κατορυγῶσιν, εἰς κόπρια ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς ἔσονται.

And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth. (verse 33 in Brenton's English)

20 ἀλαλάξατε, ποιμένες, καὶ κεκράξατε· καὶ κόπτεσθε οἱ κριοὶ τῶν προβάτων, ὅτι ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ὑμῶν εἰς σφαγήν, καὶ πεσεῖσθε ὥσπερ οἱ κριοὶ οἱ ἐκλεκτοί·

Howl, you⌃ shepherds, and cry; and lament, you⌃ rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter, and you⌃ shall fall as the choice rams. (verse 34 in Brenton's English)

21 καὶ ἀπολεῖται φυγὴ ἀπὸ τῶν ποιμένων καὶ σωτηρία ἀπὸ τῶν κριῶν τῶν προβάτων.

And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock. (verse 35 in Brenton's English)

22 φωνὴ κραυγῆς τῶν ποιμένων καὶ ἀλαλαγμὸς τῶν προβάτων καὶ τῶν κριῶν, ὅτι ὠλόθρευσε Κύριος τὰ βοσκήματα αὐτῶν,

A voice of the crying of the shepherds, and a moaning of the sheep and the rams: for the Lord has destroyed their pastures. (verse 36 in Brenton's English)

23 καὶ παύσεται τὰ κατάλοιπα τῆς εἰρήνης ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀργῆς θυμοῦ μου.

And the peaceful abodes that remain shall be destroyed before the fierceness of my anger. (verse 37 in Brenton's English)

24 ἐγκατέλιπεν ὥσπερ λέων κατάλειμμα αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν εἰς ἄβατον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς μαχαίρας τῆς μεγάλης.

He has forsaken his lair, as a lion: for their land is become desolate before the great sword. (verse 38 in Brenton's English)
