Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Τότε εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, βάδισον, καὶ κτῆσαι βικὸν πεπλασμένον ὀστράκινον, καὶ ἄξεις ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερέων,
1 Thus said Yahweh, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests;
2 καὶ ἐξελεύσῃ εἰς τὸ πολυάνδριον υἱῶν τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων πύλης τῆς Χαρσείθ· καὶ ἀνάγνωθι ἐκεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω πρὸς σὲ,
2 and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you.
3 καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον κακὰ, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος αὐτὰ ἠχήσει τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ·
3 Say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
4 Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ἀπηλλοτρίωσαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐν αὐτῷ θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, οἷς οὐκ ᾔδεισαν αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν· καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰούδα ἔπλησαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον αἱμάτων ἀθώων,
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah—and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
5 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ὑψηλὰ τῇ Βάαλ, τοῦ κατακαίειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ, ἃ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην, οὐδὲ διενοήθην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter into my mind.
6 Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἔτι Διάπτωσις καὶ Πολυάνδριον υἱοῦ Ἐννὼμ, ἀλλʼ ἢ Πολυάνδριον τῆς σφαγῆς.
6 Therefore, behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’.
7 Καὶ σφάξω τὴν βουλὴν Ἰούδα, καὶ τὴν βουλὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ καταβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν χερσὶ τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν· καὶ δώσω τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς·
7 “‘“I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
8 Καὶ κατάξω τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ εἰς συρισμόν· πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπʼ αὐτῆς σκυθρωπάσει, καὶ συριεῖ ὑπὲρ πάσης τῆς πληγῆς αὐτῆς.
8 I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
9 Καὶ ἔδονται τὰς σάρκας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς σάρκας τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῶν· καὶ ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἔδονται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ ἐν τῇ πολιορκίᾳ ᾗ πολιορκήσουσιν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν.
9 I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’
10 Καὶ συντρίψεις τὸν βικὸν κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ἐκπορευομένων μετὰ σοῦ,
10 “Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go with you,
11 καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὕτως συντρίψω τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καθὼς συντρίβεται ἄγγος ὀστράκινον, ὃ οὐ δυνήσεται ἰαθῆναι ἔτι.
11 and shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
12 Οὕτως ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος, τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ, τοῦ δοθῆναι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, ὡς τὴν διαπίπτουσαν.
12 This is what I will do to this place,” says Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth.
13 Καὶ οἶκοι Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἶκοι βασιλέων Ἰούδα ἔσονται καθὼς ὁ τόπος ὁ διαπίπτων, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν αὐτῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς οἰκίαις, ἐν αἷς ἐθυμίασαν ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων αὐτῶν πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔσπεισαν σπονδὰς θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις.
13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.”’”
14 Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱερεμίας ἀπὸ τῆς διαπτώσεως, οὗ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκεῖ, τοῦ προφητεῦσαι· καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν,
14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Yahweh’s house, and said to all the people:
15 τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς, ἅπαντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, ὅτι ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν, τοῦ μὴ εἰσακούειν τῶν ἐντολῶν μου.
15 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”
