and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ Ἰεχονίαν, καὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν Ἰούδα, ὅτι συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Jeremiah
Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας πρὸς Ἀνανίαν κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἱερέων τῶν ἑστηκότων ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου,
and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm thy word which thou dost prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας, ἀληθῶς οὕτω ποιήσαι Κύριος, στήσαι τὸν λόγον σου ὃν σὺ προφητεύεις, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον.
Nevertheless hear ye the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Greek · SeptuagintΠλὴν ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, ὃν ἐγὼ λέγω εἰς τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ.
The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ προφῆται οἱ γεγονότες πρότεροί μου καὶ πρότεροι ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν ἐπὶ γῆς πολλῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλείας μεγάλας εἰς πόλεμον.
[As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ προφήτης ὁ προφητεύσας εἰς εἰρήνην, ἐλθόντος τοῦ λόγου, γνώσονται τὸν προφήτην ὃν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς Κύριος ἐν πίστει.
Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀνανίας ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τοὺς κλοιοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου Ἱερεμίου, καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτούς.
And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἀνανίας κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, λέγων, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, οὕτως συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἀπὸ τραχήλων πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν· καὶ ᾤχετο Ἱερεμίας εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, μετὰ τὸ συντρίψαι Ἀνανίαν τοὺς κλοιοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ, λέγων,
Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
Greek · SeptuagintΒάδιζε, καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς Ἀνανίαν, λέγων, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, κλοιοὺς ξυλίνους συνέτριψας, καὶ ποιήσω ἀντʼ αὐτῶν κλοιοὺς σιδηροῦς·
For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ζυγὸν σιδηροῦν ἔθηκα ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, ἐργάζεσθαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος.
And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent thee; and thou hast caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας τῷ Ἀνανίᾳ, οὐκ ἀπέσταλκέ σε Κύριος, καὶ πεποιθέναι ἐποίησας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐπʼ ἀδίκῳ.
Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast thee off from the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω σε ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, τούτῳ τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἀποθανῇ.
So he died in the seventh month.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ.
And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι τῆς βίβλου οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Ἱερεμίας ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἀποικίας, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ψευδοπροφήτας, ἐπιστολὴν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα τῇ ἀποικίᾳ, καὶ πρὸς ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν,
(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem;)
Greek · Septuagintὕστερον ἐξελθόντος Ἰεχονίου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τῆς βασιλίσσης, καὶ τῶν εὐνούχων, καὶ παντὸς ἐλευθέρου, καὶ δεσμώτου, καὶ τεχνίτου ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying,
Greek · Septuagintἐν χειρὶ Ἐλεασὰν υἱοῦ Σαφὰν, καὶ Γαμαρίου υἱοῦ Χελκίου, ὃν ἀπέστειλε Σεδεκίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, λέγων,
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν ἣν ἀπῴκισα ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
Build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;
Greek · Septuagintοἰκοδομήσατε οἴκους, καὶ κατοικήσατε, καὶ φυτεύσατε παραδείσους, καὶ φάγετε τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῶν,
and take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ λάβετε γυναῖκας, καὶ τεκνοποιήσατε υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ λάβετε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν δότε ἀνδράσι, καὶ πληθύνεσθε, καὶ μὴ σμικρυνθῆτε·
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and ye shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace ye shall [have] peace.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ζητήσατε εἰς εἰρήνην τῆς γῆς, εἰς ἣν ἀπῴκισα ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ· καὶ προσεύξεσθε περὶ αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον, ὅτι ἐν εἰρήνῃ αὐτῆς εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.
For thus saith the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and hearken not to your dreams which ye dream.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, μὴ ἀναπειθέτωσαν ὑμᾶς οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ μὴ ἀναπειθέτωσαν ὑμᾶς οἱ μάντεις ὑμῶν, καὶ μὴ ἀκούετε εἰς τὰ ἐνύπνια ὑμῶν, ἃ ὑμεῖς ἐνυπνιάζεσθε,
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι ἄδικα αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς.
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὅταν μέλλῃ πληροῦσθαι Βαβυλῶνι ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, ἐπισκέψομαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐπιστήσω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν λαὸν ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον.
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ λογιοῦμαι ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς λογισμὸν εἰρήνης, καὶ οὐ κακὰ, τοῦ δοῦναι ὑμῖν ταῦτα.
And do ye pray to me, and I will hearken to you: and do ye earnestly seek me, and ye shall find me;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσεύξασθε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν.
for ye shall seek me with your whole heart.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκζητήσατέ με, καὶ εὑρήσετέ με· ὅτι ζητήσετέ με ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν,
And I will appear to you:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπιφανοῦμαι ὑμῖν·
whereas ye said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon:
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι εἴπατε, κατέστησεν ἡμῖν Κύριος προφήτας ἐν Βαβυλῶνι·
Thus saith the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall smite them in your sight.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἀχιὰβ, καὶ ἐπὶ Σεδεκίαν, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πατάξει αὐτοὺς κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν.
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to thee as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ λήψονται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν κατάραν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀποικίᾳ Ἰούδα ἐν Βαβυλῶνι, λέγοντες, ποιήσαι σε Κύριος, ὡς Σεδεκίαν ἐποίησε, καὶ ὡς Ἀχιὰβ, οὓς ἀπετηγάνισε βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν πυρὶ,
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens, and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, saith the Lord.
Greek · Septuagintδιʼ ἣν ἐποίησαν ἀνομίαν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο τὰς γυναῖκας τῶν πολιτῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ λόγον ἐχρημάτισαν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ὃν οὐ συνέταξα αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐγὼ μάρτυς, φησὶ Κύριος.
And to Samæas the Ælamite thou shalt say,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πρὸς Σαμαίαν τὸν Αἰλαμίτην ἐρεῖς,
I sent thee not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasæas say thou,
Greek · Septuagintοὐκ ἀπέστειλά σε τῷ ὀνόματί μου· καὶ πρὸς Σοφονίαν υἱὸν Μαασαίου τὸν ἱερέα εἰπὲ,
The Lord has made thee priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and thou shalt put them in prison, and into the dungeon.
Greek · SeptuagintΚύριος ἔδωκέ σε ἱερέα ἀντὶ Ἰωδαὲ τοῦ ἱερέως, γενέσθαι ἐπιστάτην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ προφητεύοντι, καὶ παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ μαινομένῳ, καὶ δώσεις αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ἀπόκλεισμα, καὶ εἰς τὸν καταράκτην.
And now wherefore have ye reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν διατί συνελοιδορήσατε Ἱερεμίαν τὸν ἐξ Ἀναθὼθ, τὸν προφητεύσαντα ὑμῖν;
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ διατοῦτο ἀπέστειλεν; ὅτι διὰ τοῦ μηνὸς τούτου ἀπέστειλε πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, λέγων, μακράν ἐστιν, οἰκοδομήσατε οἰκίας, καὶ κατοικήσατε, καὶ φυτεύσατε κήπους, καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.
And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέγνω Σοφονίας τὸ βιβλίον εἰς τὰ ὦτα Ἱερεμίου.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν, λέγων,
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Samæas the Ælamite, Since Samæas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,
Greek · Septuagintἀπόστειλον πρὸς τὴν ἀποικίαν, λέγων, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ἐπὶ Σαμαίαν τὸν Αἰλαμίτην, ἐπειδὴ ἐπροφήτευσεν ὑμῖν Σαμαίας, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτὸν, καὶ πεποιθέναι ἐποίησεν ὑμᾶς ἐπʼ ἀδίκοις,
therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samæas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].
Greek · Septuagintδιατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπὶ Σαμαίαν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὰ ἀγαθὰ, ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω ὑμῖν, οὐκ ὄψονται.
The Word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintὉ ΛΟΓΟΣ Ὁ ΓΕΝΟΜΕΝΟΣ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ ΠΑΡΑ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ, ΕΙΠΕΙΝ,
Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, Γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐχρημάτισα πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ βιβλίου.
For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν λαοῦ μου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, εἶπε Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῆς.
And these are the Words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Juda:
Greek · SeptuagintΚΑΙ ΟΥΤΟΙ ΟΙ ΛΟΓΟΙ ΟΥΣ ἘΛΑΛΗΣΕ ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ἘΠΙ ἸΣΡΑΗΛ ΚΑΙ ἸΟΥΔΑ.
Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, φωνὴν φόβου ἀκούσεσθε· φόβος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη.
Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
Greek · SeptuagintἘρωτήσατε, καὶ ἴδετε, εἰ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν; καὶ περὶ φόβου, ἐν ᾧ καθέξουσιν ὀσφὺν καὶ σωτηρίαν; διότι ἑώρακα πάντα ἄνθρωπον, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ· ἐστράφησαν πρόσωπα εἰς ἴκτερον.
For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐγενήθη μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι τοιαύτη· καὶ χρόνος στενός ἐστι τῷ Ἰακὼβ,
In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀπὸ τούτου σωθήσεται. Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, εἶπε Κύριος, συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διαῤῥήξω· καὶ οὐκ ἐργῶνται αὐτοὶ ἔτι ἀλλοτρίοις,
but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐργῶνται τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν· καὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ βασιλέα αὐτῶν ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς.
Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke is painful.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἀνέστησα σύντριμμα, ἀλγηρὰ ἡ πληγή σου,
There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for thee.
Greek · Septuagintοὐκ ἔστι κρίνων κρίσιν σου, εἰς ἀλγηρὸν ἰατρεύθης, ὠφέλειά σοι οὐκ ἔστι.
All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee] at all, for I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάντες οἱ φίλοι σου ἐπελάθοντό σου, οὐ μὴ ἐπερωτήσωσιν· ὅτι πληγὴν ἐχθροῦ ἔπαισά σε, παιδείαν στερεάν· ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἀδικίαν σου ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.
Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh. Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to thee. And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντές σε βρωθήσονται, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κρέας αὐτῶν πᾶν ἔδονται. Ἐπὶ πλῆθος ἀδικιῶν σου ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου· ἐποίησαν ταῦτά σοι· Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ διαφοροῦντές σε εἰς διαφόρημα, καὶ πάντας τοὺς προνομεύσαντάς σε δώσω εἰς προνομήν.
For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἀνάξω τὸ ἴαμά σου, ἀπὸ πληγῆς ὀδυνηρᾶς ἰατρεύσω σε, φησὶ Κύριος· ὅτι Ἐσπαρμένη ἐκλήθης, θήρευμα ὑμῶν ἐστιν, ὅτι ζητῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτήν.
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικιαν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ ἐλεήσω· καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ λαὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ καθεδεῖται,
And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐξελεύσονται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ᾄδοντες, φωνὴ παιζόντων· καὶ πλεονάσω αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλαττωθῶσι.
And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσελεύσονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ὡς τὸ πρότερον, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ὀρθωθήσεται· καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς.
And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσονται ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ὁ ἄρχων αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται· καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀποστρέψουσι πρὸς μέ· ὅτι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὃς ἔδωκε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ἀποστρέψαι πρὸς μέ; φησὶ Κύριος·
For the wrathful anger of the Lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐξῆλθε θυμώδης, ἐξῆλθεν ὀργὴ στρεφομένη, ἐπʼ ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days ye shall know these things.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, ἕως ποιήσει, καὶ ἕως καταστήσῃ ἐγχείρημα καρδίας αὐτοῦ· ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν γνώσεσθε αὐτά.
At that time, saith the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τῷ χρόνῳ ἐκείνῳ, εἶπε Κύριος, ἔσομαι εἰς Θεὸν τῷ γένει Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν.
Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, εὗρον θερμὸν ἐν ἐρήμῳ μετὰ ὀλωλότων ἐν μαχαίρᾳ· βαδίσατε, καὶ μὴ ὀλέσητε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ.
The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion.
Greek · SeptuagintΚύριος πόῤῥωθεν ὤφθη αὐτῷ· ἀγάπησιν αἰώνιον ἠγάπησά σε· διατοῦτο εἵλκυσά σε εἰς οἰκτείρημα.
For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οἰκοδομήσω σε, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ παρθένος Ἰσραήλ· ἔπι λήψῃ τύμπανόν σου, καὶ ἐξελεύσῃ μετὰ συναγωγῆς παιζόντων.
For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐφυτεύσατε ἀμπελῶνας ἐν ὄρεσι Σαμαρείας, φυτεύσατε καὶ αἰνέσατε,
For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise ye, and go up to Sion to the Lord your God.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι ἐστὶν ἡμέρα κλήσεως ἀπολογουμένων ἐν ὄρεσιν Ἐφραὶμ, ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἀνάβητε εἰς Σιὼν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ὑμῶν.
For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος τῷ Ἰακὼβ, εὐφράνθητε, καὶ χρεμετίσατε ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν· ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε, καὶ αἰνέσατε· εἴπατε, ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἐγὼ ἄγω αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ἐν ἑορτῇ φασέκ· καὶ τεκνοποιήσει ὄχλον πολὺν, καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ὧδε.
They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν κλαυθμῷ ἐξῆλθον, καὶ ἐν παρακλήσει ἀνάξω αὐτοὺς, αὐλίζων ἐπὶ διώρυγας ὑδάτων ἐν ὁδῷ ὀρθῇ, καὶ οὐ μὴ πλανηθῶσιν ἐν αὐτῇ· ὅτι ἐγενόμην τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς πατέρα, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ πρωτότοκός μου ἐστίν.
Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.
Greek · SeptuagintἈκούσατε λόγους Κυρίου ἔθνη, καὶ ἀναγγείλατε εἰς νήσους τὰς μακρόθεν· εἴπατε, ὁ λικμήσας τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ συνάξει αὐτὸν, καὶ φυλάξει αὐτὸν, ὡς ὁ βόσκων ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ.
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐλυτρώσατο Κύριος τὸν Ἰακὼβ, ἐξείλατο αὐτὸν ἐκ χειρὸς στερεωτέρων αὐτοῦ.
And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Sion, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, [even] to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἥξουσι, καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιὼν, καὶ ἥξουσιν ἐπʼ ἀγαθὰ Κυρίου, ἐπὶ γῆν σίτου καὶ οἴνου, καὶ καρπῶν, καὶ κτηνῶν, καὶ προβάτων· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ὥσπερ ξύλον ἔγκαρπον, καὶ οὐ πεινάσουσιν ἔτι.
Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε χαρήσονται παρθένοι ἐν συναγωγῇ νεανίσκων, καὶ πρεσβύται χαρήσονται, καὶ στρέψω τὸ πένθος αὐτῶν εἰς χαρμονὴν, καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς εὐφραινομένους.
I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΜεγαλυνῶ καὶ μεθύσω τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν ἱερεων υἱῶν Λευὶ, καὶ ὁ λαός μου τῶν ἀγαθῶν μου ἐμπλησθήσεται· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος.
A voice was heard in Rama, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.
Greek · SeptuagintΦωνὴ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ ἠκούσθη θρήνου, καὶ κλαυθμοῦ, καὶ ὀδυρμοῦ· Ῥαχὴλ ἀποκλαιομένη οὐκ ἤθελε παύσασθαι ἐπὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν.
Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for there is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of [thine] enemies.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, διαλειπέτω ἡ φωνή σου ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἀπὸ δακρύων σου, ὅτι ἔστι μισθὸς τοῖς σοῖς ἔργοις, καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ γῆς ἐχθρῶν,
[There shall be] an abiding [home] for thy children.
Greek · Septuagintμόνιμον τοῖς σοῖς τέκνοις.
I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou [art] the Lord my God.
Greek · SeptuagintἈκοὴν ἤκουσα Ἐφραὶμ ὀδυρομένου, ἐπαίδευσάς με, καὶ ἐπαιδεύθην· ἐγὼ ὥσπερ μόσχος οὐκ ἐδιδάχθην· ἐπίστρεψόν με, καὶ ἐπιστρέψω, ὅτι σὺ Κύριος ὁ Θεός μου.
For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ὕστερον αἰχμαλωσίας μου μετενόησα, καὶ ὕστερον τοῦ γνῶναί με, ἐστέναξα ἐφʼ ἡμέρας αἰσχύνης, καὶ ὑπέδειξά σοι, ὅτι ἔλαβον ὀνειδισμὸν ἐκ νεότητός μου.
Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΥἱὸς ἀγαπητὸς Ἐφραὶμ, ἐμοὶ παιδίον ἐντρυφῶν, ὅτι ἀνθʼ ὧν οἱ λόγοι μου ἐν αὐτῷ, μνείᾳ μνησθήσομαι αὐτοῦ· διατοῦτο ἔσπευσα ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ἐλεῶν ἐλεήσω αὐτὸν, φησὶ Κύριος.
Prepare thyself, O Sion; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities.
Greek · SeptuagintΣτῆσον σεαυτὴν Σιὼν, ποίησον τιμωρίαν, δὸς καρδίαν σου εἰς τοὺς ὤμους· ὁδὸν ᾗ ἐπορεύθης, ἀποστράφηθι παρθένος Ἰσραὴλ, ἀποστράφητι εἰς τὰς πόλεις σου πενθοῦσα.
How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.
Greek · SeptuagintἝως πότε ἀποστρέψεις θυγάτηρ ἠτιμωμένη; ὅτι ἔκτισε Κύριος σωτηρίαν εἰς καταφύτευσιν καινὴν, ἐν σωτηρίᾳ περιελεύσονται ἄνθρωποι.
For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἔτι ἐροῦσι τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ, ὅταν ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ, εὐλογημένος Κύριος ἐπὶ δίκαιον ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ·
And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Juda, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ, ἅμα γεωργῷ, καὶ ἀρθήσεται ἐν ποιμνίῳ.
For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐμέθυσα πᾶσαν ψυχὴν διψῶσαν, καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν πεινῶσαν ἐνέπλησα.
Therefore I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο ἐξηγέρθην, καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ὁ ὕπνος μου ἡδύς μοι ἐγενήθη.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ σπερῶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν, σπέρμα ἀνθρώπου καὶ σπέρμα κτήνους.
And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔσται ὥσπερ ἐγρηγόρουν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καθαιρεῖν καὶ κακοῦν, οὕτως γρηγορήσω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ καταφυτεύειν, φησὶ Κύριος.
In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις οὐ μὴ εἴπωσιν, οἱ πατέρες ἔφαγον ὄμφακα, καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες τῶν τέκνων ᾑμωδίασαν.
But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.
Greek · SeptuagintἈλλʼ ἢ ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ τοῦ φαγόντος τὸν ὄμφακα αἱμωδιάσουσιν οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ διαθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα διαθήκην καινὴν,
not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, saith the Lord.
Greek · Septuagintοὐ κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διεθέμην τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπιλαβομένου μου τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν, ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἐνέμειναν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ μου, καὶ ἐγὼ ἠμέλησα αὐτῶν, φησὶ Κύριος.
For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη μου, ἣν διαθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ, μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, φησὶ Κύριος, διδοὺς δώσω νόμους μου εἰς τὴν διάνοιαν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν γράψω αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν.
And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐ μὴ διδάξωσιν ἕκαστος τὸν πολίτην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, λέγων, γνῶθι τὸν Κύριον· ὅτι πάντες εἰδήσουσί με ἀπὸ μικροῦ αὐτῶν ἕως μεγάλου αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι.
Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν ὑψωθῇ ὁ οὐρανὸς εἰς τὸ μετέωρον, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἐὰν ταπεινωθῇ τὸ ἔδαφος τῆς γῆς κάτω, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀποδοκιμῶ τὸ γένος Ἰσραὴλ, φησὶ Κύριος, περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησαν.
Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὁ δοὺς τὸν ἥλιον εἱς φῶς τῆς ἡμέρας, σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας εἰς φῶς τῆς νυκτὸς, καὶ κραυγὴν ἐν θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐβόμβησε τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς, Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ·
if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν παύσωναι οἱ νόμοι οὗτοι ἀπὸ προσώπου μου, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ τὸ γένος Ἰσραὴλ παύσεται γενέσθαι ἔθνος κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Anameel to the gate of the corner.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀπὸ πύργου Ἁναμεὴλ, ἕως πύλης τῆς γωνίας.
And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἡ διαμέτρησις αὐτῆς ἀπέναντι αὐτῶν ἕως βουνῶν Γαρὴβ, καὶ περικυκλωθήσεται κύκλῳ ἐξ ἐκλεκτῶν λίθων,
