Jeremiah 50

1 ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἐπαύσατο Ἱερεμίας λέγων πρὸς τὸν λαὸν πάντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος πρὸς αὐτούς, πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους,

1 And it came to pass, when Jeremias ceased speaking to the people all the words of the Lord, [for] which the Lord had sent him to them, [even] all these words,

2 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Μαασαίου καὶ Ἰωανὰν υἱὸς Καρηὲ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ εἴπαντες τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ λέγοντες· ψεύδη, οὐκ ἀπέστειλέ σε Κύριος πρὸς ἡμᾶς λέγων· μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς Αἴγυπτον οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ,

2 that Azarias son of Maasaeas spoke, and Joanan, the son of Caree, and all the men who had spoken to Jeremias, saying, [It is] false: the Lord has not sent you to us, saying, Enter not into Egypt to dwell there:

3 ἀλλ' ἢ Βαροὺχ υἱὸς Νηρίου συμβάλλει σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἵνα δῷς ἡμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων τοῦ θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀποικισθῆναι ἡμᾶς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

3 but Baruch the son of Nerias sets you against us, that you may deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and that we should be carried away captives to Babylon.

4 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἰωανὰν καὶ πάντες ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου κατοικῆσαι ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα.

4 So Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, and all the people, refused to listen to the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Juda.

5 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰωανὰν καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους Ἰούδα, τοὺς ἀποστρέψαντας κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ,

5 And Joanan, and all the leaders of the host, took all the remnant of Juda, who had returned to dwell in the land;

6 τοὺς δυνατοὺς ἄνδρας καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ νήπια, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὰς ψυχάς, ἃς κατέλιπε Ναβουζαρδὰν μετὰ Γοδολίου υἱοῦ Ἀχεικάμ, καὶ Ἱερεμίαν τὸν προφήτην καὶ Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου

6 the mighty men, and the women, and the children that were left, and the daughters of the king, and the souls which Nabuzardan had left with Godolias the son of Achicam and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

7 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Τάφνας.

7 And they came into Egypt: for they listened not to the voice of the Lord: and they entered into Taphnas.

8 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐν Τάφνας λέγων·

8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnas, saying,

9 λαβὲ σεαυτῷ λίθους μεγάλους καὶ κατάκρυψον αὐτοὺς ἐν προθύροις, ἐν πύλῃ τῆς οἰκίας Φαραὼ ἐν Τάφνας, κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνδρῶν Ἰούδα

9 Take you great stones, and hide them in the entrance, at the gate of the house of Pharao in Taphnas, in the sight of the men of Juda:

10 καὶ ἐρεῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω καὶ ἄξω Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ θήσει αὐτοῦ τὸν θρόνον ἐπάνω τῶν λίθων τούτων, ὧν κατέκρυψας, καὶ ἀρεῖ τὰ ὅπλα αὐτοῦ ἐπ' αὐτοὺς

10 and you shall say, Thus has the Lord said; Behold, I [will] send, and will bring Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and he shall place his throne upon these stones which you have hidden, and he shall lift up weapons against them.

11 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται καὶ πατάξει γῆν Αἰγύπτου, οὓς εἰς θάνατον, εἰς θάνατον, καὶ οὓς εἰς ἀποικισμόν, εἰς ἀποικισμόν, καὶ οὓς εἰς ρομφαίαν, εἰς ρομφαίαν.

11 And he shall enter in, and strike the land of Egypt, [delivering] some for death to death; and some for captivity to captivity; and some for the sword to the sword.

12 καὶ καύσει πῦρ ἐν οἰκίαις τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐμπυριεῖ αὐτὰς καὶ ἀποικιεῖ αὐτοὺς καὶ φθειριεῖ γῆν Αἰγύπτου, ὥσπερ φθειρίζει ποιμὴν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν εἰρήνῃ,

12 And he shall kindle a fire in the houses of their gods, and shall burn them, and shall carry them away captives: and shall search the land of Egypt, as a shepherd searches his garment; and he shall go forth in peace.

13 καὶ συντρίψει τοὺς στύλους Ἡλιουπόλεως, τοὺς ἐν Ὤν, καὶ τὰς οἰκίας αὐτῶν κατακαύσει ἐν πυρί.

13 And he shall break to pieces the pillars of Heliopolis that are in On, and shall burn their houses with fire.
