הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־הָיָה אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה בשנת בַּשָּׁנָה הָעֲשִׂרִית לְצִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה הִיא הַשָּׁנָה שְׁמֹנֶה־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לִנְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר
The word that came to Jeremiah from HaShem in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ὁ γενόμενος παρὰ Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ δεκάτῳ βασιλεῖ Σεδεκίᾳ, οὗτος ἐνιαυτὸς ὀκτωκαιδέκατος τῷ βασιλεῖ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah in the tenth year of King Zedekiah, this is the eighteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
2
וְאָז חֵיל מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל צָרִים עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְיִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא הָיָה כָלוּא בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה אֲשֶׁר בֵּית־מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה
Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
Καὶ δύναμις βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐχαράκωσεν ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ Ἱερεμίας ἐφυλάσσετο ἐν αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν οἴκῳ βασιλέως,
And the host of the king of Babylon had made a rampart against Jerusalem: and Jeremiah was kept in the court of the prison, which is in the king’s house;
3
אֲשֶׁר כְּלָאוֹ צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה נִבָּא לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָהּ
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying: 'Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say: Thus saith HaShem: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
ἐν ᾗ κατέκλεισεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σεδεκίας, λέγων, διατί σὺ προφητεύεις, λέγων, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἐν χερσὶ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ λήψεται αὐτὴν,
in which King Zedekiah [had] shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4
וְצִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה לֹא יִמָּלֵט מִיַּד הַכַּשְׂדִּים כִּי הִנָּתֹן יִנָּתֵן בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וְדִבֶּר־פִּיו עִם־פִּיו וְעֵינָיו אֶת־עינו עֵינָיו תִּרְאֶינָה
and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
καὶ Σεδεκίας οὐ μὴ σωθῇ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Χαλδαίων, ὅτι παραδόσει παραδοθήσεται εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ λαλήσει στόμα αὐτοῦ πρὸς στόμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὄψονται·
and Zedekiah shall by no means be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, for he shall certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall look upon his eyes;
5
וּבָבֶל יוֹלִךְ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּהוּ וְשָׁם יִהְיֶה עַד־פָּקְדִי אֹתוֹ נְאֻם־יְהוָה כִּי תִלָּחֲמוּ אֶת־הַכַּשְׂדִּים לֹא תַצְלִיחוּ
and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I remember him, saith HaShem; though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?'
Καὶ εἰσελεύσεται Σεδεκίας εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἐκεῖ καθίεται;
and Zedekiah shall go into Babylon, and dwell there?
6
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ הָיָה דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר
And Jeremiah said: 'The word of HaShem came unto me, saying:
ΚΑΙ Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ἘΓΕΝΗΘΗ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ, ΛΕΓΩΝ,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
7
הִנֵּה חֲנַמְאֵל בֶּן־שַׁלֻּם דֹּדְךָ בָּא אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר קְנֵה לְךָ אֶת־שָׂדִי אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲנָתוֹת כִּי לְךָ מִשְׁפַּט הַגְּאֻלָּה לִקְנוֹת
Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying: Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.'
Ἰδοὺ Ἀναμεὴλ υἱὸς Σαλῶμ ἀδελφοῦ πατρός σου ἔρχεται πρὸς σὲ, λέγων, κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ τὸν ἀγρόν μου τὸν ἐν Ἀναθὼθ, ὅτι σοὶ κρίσις παραλαβεῖν εἰς κτῆσιν.
Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thy father’s brother is coming to thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for thou [hast] the right to take [it] as a purchase.
8
וַיָּבֹא אֵלַי חֲנַמְאֵל בֶּן־דֹּדִי כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֶל־חֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי קְנֵה נָא אֶת־שָׂדִי אֲשֶׁר־בַּעֲנָתוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִין כִּי־לְךָ מִשְׁפַּט הַיְרֻשָּׁה וּלְךָ הַגְּאֻלָּה קְנֵה־לָךְ וָאֵדַע כִּי דְבַר־יְהוָה הוּא
So Hanamel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of HaShem, and said unto me: 'Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself.' Then I knew that this was the word of HaShem.
Καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς μὲ Ἀναμεὴλ υἱὸς Σαλὼμ, ἀδελφοῦ πατρός μου, εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ εἶπε, κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ τὸν ἀγρόν μου τὸν ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν τὸν ἐν Ἀναθὼθ, ὅτι σοὶ κρίμα κτήσασθαι αὐτὸν, καὶ σὺ πρεσβύτερος. καὶ ἔγνων, ὅτι λόγος Κυρίου ἐστὶ,
So Hanamel the son of Shallum my father’s brother came to me into the court of the prison, and said, Buy thee my field that is in the land of Benjamin, in Anathoth: for thou [hast] a right to buy it, and thou art the elder. So I knew that it was the word of the Lord.
9
וָאֶקְנֶה אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה מֵאֵת חֲנַמְאֵל בֶּן־דֹּדִי אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲנָתוֹת וָאֶשְׁקֲלָה־לּוֹ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף שִׁבְעָה שְׁקָלִים וַעֲשָׂרָה הַכָּסֶף
And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
καὶ ἐκτησάμην τὸν ἀγρὸν Ἀναμεὴλ υἱοῦ ἀδελφοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἔστησα αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ σίκλους καὶ δέκα ἀργυρίου,
And I bought the field of Hanamel the son of my father’s brother, and I weighed him seventeen shekels of silver.
10
וָאֶכְתֹּב בַּסֵּפֶר וָאֶחְתֹּם וָאָעֵד עֵדִים וָאֶשְׁקֹל הַכֶּסֶף בְּמֹאזְנָיִם
And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
καὶ ἔγραψα εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ ἐσφραγισάμην, καὶ διεμαρτυράμην μάρτυρας, καὶ ἔστησα τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν ζυγῷ.
And I wrote [it] in a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses, and weighed the money in the balance.
11
וָאֶקַּח אֶת־סֵפֶר הַמִּקְנָה אֶת־הֶחָתוּם הַמִּצְוָה וְהַחֻקִּים וְאֶת־הַגָּלוּי
So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
Καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ βιβλίον τῆς κτήσεως τὸ ἐσφραγισμένον,
And I took the book of the purchase that was sealed;
12
וָאֶתֵּן אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר הַמִּקְנָה אֶל־בָּרוּךְ בֶּן־נֵרִיָּה בֶּן־מַחְסֵיָה לְעֵינֵי חֲנַמְאֵל דֹּדִי וּלְעֵינֵי הָעֵדִים הַכֹּתְבִים בְּסֵפֶר הַמִּקְנָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִים הַיֹּשְׁבִים בַּחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה
and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle 's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.
καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτὸ τῷ Βαροὺχ υἱῷ Νηρίου υἱῷ Μαασαίου, κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς Ἀναμεὴλ υἱοῦ ἀδελφοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν παρεστηκότων καὶ γραφόντων ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῆς κτήσεως, καὶ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων τῶν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς.
and I gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my father’s brother’s son, and in the sight of the men that stood by and wrote in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of the Jews that were in the court of the prison.
13
ו͏ָאֲצַוֶּה אֶת בָּרוּךְ לְעֵינֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר
And I charged Baruch before them, saying:
Καὶ συνέταξα τῷ Βαροὺχ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, λέγων,
And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, Thus saith the Lord Almighty;
14
כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָקוֹחַ אֶת־הַסְּפָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֵת סֵפֶר הַמִּקְנָה הַזֶּה וְאֵת הֶחָתוּם וְאֵת סֵפֶר הַגָּלוּי הַזֶּה וּנְתַתָּם בִּכְלִי־חָרֶשׂ לְמַעַן יַעַמְדוּ יָמִים רַבִּים
'Thus saith HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.
Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, λάβε τὸ βιβλίον τῆς κτήσεως τοῦτο, καὶ τὸ βιβλίον τὸ ἀνεγνωσμένον, καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ εἰς ἀγγεῖον ὀστράκινον, ἵνα διαμείνῃ ἡμέρας πλείους.
Take this book of the purchase, and the book that has been read; and thou shalt put it into an earthen vessel, that it may remain many days.
15
כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד יִקָּנוּ בָתִּים וְשָׂדוֹת וּכְרָמִים בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת
For thus saith HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.'
Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἔτι κτιηθήσονται ἀγροὶ, καὶ οἰκίαι, καὶ ἀμπελῶνες ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ.
For thus saith the Lord; There shall yet be bought fields and houses and vineyards in this land.
16
וָאֶתְפַּלֵּל אֶל־יְהוָה אַחֲרֵי תִתִּי אֶת־סֵפֶר הַמִּקְנָה אֶל־בָּרוּךְ בֶּן־נֵרִיָּה לֵאמֹר
Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto HaShem, saying:
Καὶ προσευξάμην πρὸς Κύριον μετὰ τὸ δοῦναί με τὸ βιβλίον τῆς κτήσεως πρὸς Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου, λέγων,
And I prayed to the Lord after I had given the book of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, saying,
17
אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנֵּה אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ בְּכֹחֲךָ הַגָּדוֹל וּבִזְרֹעֲךָ הַנְּטוּיָה לֹא־יִפָּלֵא מִמְּךָ כָּל־דָּבָר
'Ah L-rd GOD! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and by Thy outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for Thee;
Ὁ ὢν Κύριε, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ τῷ μετεώρῳ, οὐ μὴ ἀποκρυβῇ ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐθὲν,
O [ever] living Lord! thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power, and with thy high and lofty arm: nothing can be hidden from thee.
18
עֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד לַאֲלָפִים וּמְשַׁלֵּם עֲוֺן אָבוֹת אֶל־חֵיק בְּנֵיהֶם אַחֲרֵיהֶם הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁמוֹ
who showest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty G-d, HaShem of hosts is His name;
ποιῶν ἔλεος εἰς χιλιάδας, καὶ ἀποδιδοὺς ἁμαρτίας πατέρων εἰς κόλπους τέκνων αὐτῶν μετʼ αὐτούς· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας, ὁ ἰσχυρὸς,
Granting mercy to thousands, and recompensing the sins of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them: the great, the strong God;
19
גְּדֹל הָעֵצָה וְרַב הָעֲלִילִיָּה אֲשֶׁר־עֵינֶיךָ פְקֻחוֹת עַל־כָּל־דַּרְכֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם לָתֵת לְאִישׁ כִּדְרָכָיו וְכִפְרִי מַעֲלָלָיו
great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
Κύριος μεγάλης βουλῆς, καὶ δυνατὸς τοῖς ἔργοις, ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας ὁ παντοκράτωρ, καὶ μεγαλώνυμος Κύριος· οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς τῶν υἱῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, δοῦναι ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ·
the Lord of great counsel, and mighty in deeds, the great Almighty God, and Lord of great name: thine eyes are upon the ways of the children of men, to give to every one according to his way:
20
אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתָּ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ־מִצְרַיִם עַד־הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּבְיִשְׂרָאֵל וּבָאָדָם וַתַּעֲשֶׂה־לְּךָ שֵׁם כַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה
who didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel and among other men; and madest Thee a name, as at this day;
Ὃς ἐποίησας σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, καὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς γηγενέσι· καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα, ὡς ἡμέρα αὕτη,
who hast wrought signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and thou didst make for thyself a name, as at this day;
21
וַתֹּצֵא אֶת־עַמְּךָ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם בְּאֹתוֹת וּבְמוֹפְתִים וּבְיָד חֲזָקָה וּבְאֶזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְמוֹרָא גָּדוֹל
and didst bring forth Thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
καὶ ἐξήγαγες τὸν λαόν σου Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν σημείοις καὶ ἐν τέρασιν, ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ,
and thou didst bring out thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights;
22
וַתִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבוֹתָם לָתֵת לָהֶם אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָשׁ
and gavest them this land, which Thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, καὶ ἐν ὁράμασι μεγάλοις, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ἣν ὤμοσας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.
and thou gavest them this land, which thou didst swear [to give] to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23
וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיִּרְשׁוּ אֹתָהּ וְלֹא־שָׁמְעוּ בְקוֹלֶךָ ובתרותך וּבְתוֹרָתְךָ לֹא־הָלָכוּ אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָה לָהֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת לֹא עָשׂוּ וַתַּקְרֵא אֹתָם אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת
and they came in, and possessed it; but they hearkened not to Thy voice, neither walked in Thy law; they have done nothing of all that Thou commandedst them to do; therefore Thou hast caused all this evil to befall them;
Καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς σου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί σου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν· ἅπαντα ἃ ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἐποὶησαν συμβῆναι αὐτοῖς πάντα τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα.
and they went in, and took it; but they hearkened not to thy voice, and walked not in thine ordinances; they did none of the things which thou didst command them, and they caused all these calamities to happen to them.
24
הִנֵּה הַסֹּלְלוֹת בָּאוּ הָעִיר לְלָכְדָהּ וְהָעִיר נִתְּנָה בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַנִּלְחָמִים עָלֶיהָ מִפְּנֵי הַחֶרֶב וְהָרָעָב וְהַדָּבֶר וַאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ הָיָה וְהִנְּךָ רֹאֶה
behold the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what Thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, Thou seest it.
Ἰδοὺ ὄχλος ἥκει εἰς τὴν πόλιν συλλαβεῖν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἡ πόλις ἐδόθη εἰς χεῖρας Χαλδαίων τῶν πολεμούντων αὐτὴν ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας, καὶ τοῦ λιμοῦ ὡς ἐλάλησας, οὕτως ἐγένετο.
Behold, a multitude is come against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans that fight against it, by the power of the sword, and the famine: as thou hast spoken, so has it happened.
25
וְאַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ אֵלַי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה קְנֵה־לְךָ הַשָּׂדֶה בַּכֶּסֶף וְהָעֵד עֵדִים וְהָעִיר נִתְּנָה בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים
Yet Thou hast said unto me, O L-rd GOD: Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'
Καὶ σὺ λέγεις πρὸς μέ κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ τὸν ἀγρὸν ἀργυρίου· καὶ ἔγραψα βιβλίον, καὶ ἐσφραγισάμην, καὶ ἐπεμαρτυράμην μάρτυρας, καὶ ἡ πόλις ἐδόθη εἰς χεῖρας Χαλδαίων.
And thou sayest to me, Buy thee the field for money; and I wrote a book, and sealed [it], and took the testimony of witnesses: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
26
וַיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ לֵאמֹר
Then came the word of HaShem unto Jeremiah, saying:
Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27
הִנֵּה אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי כָּל־בָּשָׂר הֲמִמֶּנִּי יִפָּלֵא כָּל־דָּבָר
'Behold, I am HaShem, the G-d of all flesh; is there any thing too hard for Me?
Ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πάσης σαρκός, μὴ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κρυβήσεταί τι;
I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall anything be hidden from me!
28
לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי נֹתֵן אֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים וּבְיַד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל וּלְכָדָהּ
Therefore thus saith HaShem: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Διατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, δοθεῖσα παραδοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ λήψεται αὐτὴν,
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29
וּבָאוּ הַכַּשְׂדִּים הַנִּלְחָמִים עַל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְהִצִּיתוּ אֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת בָּאֵשׁ וּשְׂרָפוּהָ וְאֵת הַבָּתִּים אֲשֶׁר קִטְּרוּ עַל־גַּגּוֹתֵיהֶם לַבַּעַל וְהִסִּכוּ נְסָכִים לֵאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְמַעַן הַכְעִסֵנִי
and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke Me.
καὶ ἥξουσιν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι πολεμοῦντες ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ καύσουσι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἐν πυρί, καὶ κατακαύσουσι τὰς οἰκίας ἐν αἷς ἐθυμιῶσαν ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων αὐτῶν τῇ Βάαλ, καὶ ἔσπενδον σπονδὰς θεοῖς ἑτέροις, πρὸς τὸ παραπικράναι με·
and the Chaldeans shall come to war against this city, and they shall burn this city with fire, and shall burn down the houses wherein they burned incense on the roofs thereof to Baal, and poured drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me.
30
כִּי־הָיוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְנֵי יְהוּדָה אַךְ עֹשִׂים הָרַע בְּעֵינַי מִנְּעֻרֹתֵיהֶם כִּי בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אַךְ מַכְעִסִים אֹתִי בְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָה
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done that which was evil in My sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked Me with the work of their hands, saith HaShem.
Ὅτι ἦσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα μόνοι ποιοῦντες τὸ πονηρὸν κατʼ ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐκ νεὁτητος αὐτῶν·
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah alone did evil in my sight from their youth.
31
כִּי עַל־אַפִּי וְעַל־חֲמָתִי הָיְתָה לִּי הָעִיר הַזֹּאת לְמִן־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ אוֹתָהּ וְעַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לַהֲסִירָהּ מֵעַל פָּנָי
For this city hath been to Me a provocation of Mine anger and of My fury from the day that they built it even unto this day, that I should remove it from before My face;
Ὅτι ἐπὶ τὴν ὀργήν μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἦν ἡ πόλις αὕτη, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ᾠκοδόμησαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ἀπαλλάξαι αὐτὴν ἀπὸ προσώπου μου,
For this city was [obnoxious] to my anger and my wrath, from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from my presence,
32
עַל כָּל־רָעַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְנֵי יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לְהַכְעִסֵנִי הֵמָּה מַלְכֵיהֶם שָׂרֵיהֶם כֹּהֲנֵיהֶם וּנְבִיאֵיהֶם וְאִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם
because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
διὰ πάσας τὰς πονηρίας τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, ὧν ἐποίησαν πικράναι με, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῶν, ἄνδρες Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and Judah, which they wrought to provoke me, they and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Judah, and the dwellers in Jerusalem.
33
וַיִּפְנוּ אֵלַי עֹרֶף וְלֹא פָנִים וְלַמֵּד אֹתָם הַשְׁכֵּם וְלַמֵּד וְאֵינָם שֹׁמְעִים לָקַחַת מוּסָר
And they have turned unto Me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, teaching them betimes and often, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν πρὸς μὲ νῶτον, καὶ οὐ πρόσωπον· καὶ ἐδίδαξα αὐτοὺς ὄρθρου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν ἔτι λαβεῖν παιδείαν.
And they turned the back to me, and not the face: whereas I taught them early in the morning, but they hearkened no more to receive instruction.
34
וַיָּשִׂימוּ שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶם בַּבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָא־שְׁמִי עָלָיו לְטַמְּאוֹ
But they set their abominations in the house whereupon My name is called, to defile it.
Καὶ ἔθηκαν τὰ μιάσματα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, οὗ ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ἐν ἀκαθαρσίαις αὐτῶν.
And they set their pollutions in the house, on which my name was called, by their uncleannesses.
35
וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת־בָּמוֹת הַבַּעַל אֲשֶׁר בְּגֵיא בֶן־הִנֹּם לְהַעֲבִיר אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶם לַמֹּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־צִוִּיתִים וְלֹא עָלְתָה עַל־לִבִּי לַעֲשׂוֹת הַתּוֹעֵבָה הַזֹּאת לְמַעַן החטי הַחֲטִיא אֶת־יְהוּדָה
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to set apart their sons and their daughters unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into My mind, that they should do this abomination; to cause Judah to sin.
Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τοὺς βωμοὺς τῇ Βάαλ τοὺς ἐν φάραγγι υἱοὺ Ἑννὸμ, τοῦ ἀναφέρειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν τῷ Μολὸχ βασιλεῖ, ἃ οὐ συνέταξα αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ καρδίαν μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ βδέλυγμα τοῦτο, πρὸς τὸ ἐφαμαρτεῖν τὸν Ἰούδαν.
And they built to Baal the altars that are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer their sons and their daughters to King Molech; which things I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36
וְעַתָּה לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים נִתְּנָה בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל בַּחֶרֶב וּבָרָעָב וּבַדָּבֶר
And now therefore thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say: It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Καὶ νῦν οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν, ἣν σὺ λέγεις, παραδοθήσεται εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐν μαχαίρᾳ, καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ἐν ἀποστολῇ·
And now thus has the Lord God of Israel said concerning this city, of which thou sayest, It shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and banishment.
37
הִנְנִי מְקַבְּצָם מִכָּל־הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר הִדַּחְתִּים שָׁם בְּאַפִּי וּבַחֲמָתִי וּבְקֶצֶף גָּדוֹל וַהֲשִׁבֹתִים אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְהֹשַׁבְתִּים לָבֶטַח
Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them back unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely;
Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συνάγω αὐτοὺς ἐκ πάσης τῆς γῆς, οὗ διέσπειρα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐν ὀργῇ μου, καὶ τῷ θυμῷ μου, καὶ ἐν παροξυσμῷ μεγάλῳ· καὶ ἐπιστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ καθιῶ αὐτοὺς πεποιθότας·
Behold, I [will] gather them out of every land, where I have scattered them in my anger, and my wrath, and great fury; and I will bring them back into this place, and will cause them to dwell safely:
38
וְהָיוּ לִי לְעָם וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים
and they shall be My people, and I will be their G-d;
Καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαὸν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν.
and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
39
וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד וְדֶרֶךְ אֶחָד לְיִרְאָה אוֹתִי כָּל־הַיָּמִים לְטוֹב לָהֶם וְלִבְנֵיהֶם אַחֲרֵיהֶם
and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me for ever; for the good of them, and of their children after them;
Καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς ὁδὸν ἑτέραν καὶ καρδίαν ἑτέραν, φοβηθῆναί με πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ εἰς ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν μετʼ αὐτούς.
And I will give them another way, and another heart, to fear me continually, and [that] for good to them and their children after them.
40
וְכָרַתִּי לָהֶם בְּרִית עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־אָשׁוּב מֵאַחֲרֵיהֶם לְהֵיטִיבִי אוֹתָם וְאֶת־יִרְאָתִי אֶתֵּן בִּלְבָבָם לְבִלְתִּי סוּר מֵעָלָי
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.
Καὶ διαθήσομαι αὐτοῖς διαθήκην αἰωνίαν, ἣν οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψω ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν· καὶ τὸν φόβον μου δώσω εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν, πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀποστῆναι αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put my fear into their heart, that they may not depart from me.
41
וְשַׂשְׂתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם לְהֵטִיב אוֹתָם וּנְטַעְתִּים בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת בֶּאֱמֶת בְּכָל־לִבִּי וּבְכָל־נַפְשִׁי
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth with My whole heart and with My whole soul.
Καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι τοῦ ἀγαθῶσαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ φυτεύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ ἐν πίστει, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ μου, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ψυχῇ.
And I will visit [them] to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, and with all my heart, and with all [my] soul.
42
כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵבֵאתִי אֶל־הָעָם הַזֶּה אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת כֵּן אָנֹכִי מֵבִיא עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־כָּל־הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי דֹּבֵר עֲלֵיהֶם
For thus saith HaShem: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, καθὰ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον πάντα τὰ κακὰ τὰ μεγάλα ταῦτα, οὕτως ἐγὼ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ, ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
For thus saith the Lord; As I have brought upon this people all these great evils, so will I bring upon them all the good things which I pronounced upon them.
43
וְנִקְנָה הַשָּׂדֶה בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם אֹמְרִים שְׁמָמָה הִיא מֵאֵין אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה נִתְּנָה בְּיַד הַכַּשְׂדִּים
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say: It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Καὶ κτηθήσονται ἔτι ἀγροὶ ἐν τῇ γῇ, ᾗ σὺ λέγεις, ἄβατος ἔσται ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτήνους, καὶ παρεδόθησαν εἰς χεῖρας Χαλδαίων.
And there shall yet be fields bought in the land, of which thou sayest, It shall be destitute of man and beast; and they are delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.
44
שָׂדוֹת בַּכֶּסֶף יִקְנוּ וְכָתוֹב בַּסֵּפֶר וְחָתוֹם וְהָעֵד עֵדִים בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן וּבִסְבִיבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם וּבְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְעָרֵי הָהָר וּבְעָרֵי הַשְּׁפֵלָה וּבְעָרֵי הַנֶּגֶב כִּי־אָשִׁיב אֶת־שְׁבוּתָם נְאֻם־יְהוָה
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the Lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to return, saith HaShem.'
Καὶ κτήσονται ἀγροὺς ἐν ἀργυρίῳ· καὶ γράψεις βιβλίον καὶ σφραγιῇ, καὶ διαμαρτύρῃ μάρτυρας ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ κύκλῳ τῆς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τοῦ ὄρους, καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς σεφηλὰ, καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς ναγὲβ, ὅτι ἀποστρέψω τὰς ἀποικίας αὐτῶν.
And they shall buy fields for money, and thou shalt write a book, and seal [it], and shalt take the testimony of witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south: for I will turn their captivity.
