- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ὋΝ ἘΛΑΛΗΣΕΝ ἘΠΙ ΒΑΒΥΛΩΝΑ.
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 Ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε, καὶ μὴ κρύψητε· εἴπατε, ἑάλωκε Βαβυλὼν, κατῃσχύνθη Βῆλος, ἡ ἀπτόητος, ἡ τρυφερὰ παρεδόθη Μαιρωδὰχ,
2 Yahweh says to me: “Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck.
3 ὅτι ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔθνος ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, οὗτος θήσει τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἕως κτήνους.
3 Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ἥξουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ αὐτοὶ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, βαδίζοντες καὶ κλαίοντες πορεύσονται, τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτῶν ζητοῦντες.
4 Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell your masters:
5 Ἕως Σιὼν ἐρωτήσουσι τὴν ὁδὸν, ὧδε γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν δώσουσι, καὶ ἥξουσι, καὶ καταφεύξονται πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεόν· διαθήκη γὰρ αἰώνιος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
5 ‘I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.
6 Πρόβατα ἀπολωλότα ἐγενήθη ὁ λαός μου, οἱ ποιμένες αὐτῶν ἔξωσαν αὐτοὺς, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη ἀπεπλάνησαν αὐτοὺς, ἐξ ὄρους ἐπὶ βουνὸν ᾤχοντο, ἐπελάθοντο κοίτης αὐτῶν.
6 Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him.
7 Πάντες οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτοὺς, ἀνήλισκον αὐτούς· οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν εἶπαν, Μὴ ἀνῶμεν αὐτοὺς, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἥμαρτον τῷ Κυρίῳ· νομὴ δικαιοσύνης τῷ συναγαγόντι τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.
7 All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.
8 Ἀπαλλοτριώθητε ἐκ μέσου Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς Χαλδαίων, καὶ ἐξέλθατε, καὶ γένεσθε ὥσπερ δράκοντες κατὰ πρόσωπον προβάτων.
8 “‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν ἐκ γῆς Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ παρατάξονται αὐτῇ· ἐκεῖθεν ἁλώσεται, ὡς βολὶς μαχητοῦ συνετοῦ οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει κενή.
9 But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon;”
10 Καὶ ἔσται ἡ Χαλδαία εἰς προνομὴν, πάντες οἱ προνομεύοντες αὐτὴν ἐμπλησθήσονται.
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish.
11 Ὅτι ηὐφραίνεσθε, καὶ κατεκαυχᾶσθε, διαρπάζοντες τὴν κληρονομίαν μου, διότι ἐσκιρτᾶτε, ὡς βοΐδια ἐν βοτάνῃ, καὶ ἐκερατίζετε ὡς ταῦροι.
11 But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says Yahweh; ‘and they will till it and dwell in it.’”’”
12 Ἠσχύνθη ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν σφόδρα, ἐνετράπη ἡ τεκοῦσα ὑμᾶς μήτηρ ἐπʼ ἀγαθὰ, ἐσχάτη ἐθνῶν, ἔρημος
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 ἀπὸ ὀργῆς Κυρίου, οὐ κατοικηθήσεται καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν πᾶσα· καὶ πᾶς ὁ διοδεύων διὰ Βαβυλῶνος σκυθρωπάσει, καὶ συριοῦσιν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν πληγὴν αὐτῆς.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Παρατάξασθε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα κύκλῳ πάντες τείνοντες τόξον, τοξεύσατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ τοῖς τοξεύμασιν ὑμῶν,
14 Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 καὶ κατακρατήσατε αὐτήν· παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῆς, ἔπεσαν αἱ ἐπάλξεις αὐτῆς, καὶ κατεσκάφη τὸ τεῖχος αὐτῆς, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις παρὰ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ἐκδικεῖτε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καθὼς ἐποίησε, ποιήσατε αὐτῇ.
15 For I have not sent them,” says Yahweh, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Ἐξολοθρεύσασθε σπέρμα ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος, κατέχοντα δρέπανον ἐν καιρῷ θερισμοῦ· ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας Ἑλληνικῆς, ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψουσι, καὶ ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ φεύξεται.
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Yahweh says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of Yahweh’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Πρόβατον πλανώμενον Ἰσραὴλ, λέοντες ἔξωσαν αὐτόν· ὁ πρῶτος ἔφαγεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ οὗτος ὕστερον τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος.
17 Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?
18 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἐξεδίκησα ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσούρ.
18 But if they are prophets, and if Yahweh’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in Yahweh’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.
19 Καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ νεμήσεται ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ, καὶ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραῒμ, καὶ ἐν τῷ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ.
19 For Yahweh of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ζητήσουσι τὴν ἀδικίαν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξει, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας Ἰούδα, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῶσιν, ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι τοῖς ὑπολελειμμένοις ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—
21 λέγει Κύριος. Πικρῶς ἐπίβηθι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπʼ αὐτήν· ἐκδίκησον μάχαιρα, καὶ ἀφάνισον, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποίει κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐντέλλομαί σοι.
21 yes, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in Yahweh’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
22 Φωνὴ πολέμου καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων.
22 ‘They will be carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says Yahweh; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”
23 Πῶς ἐκλάσθη καὶ συνετρίβη ἡ σφυρὰ πάσης τῆς γῆς; πῶς ἐγενήθη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν Βαβυλὼν ἐν ἔθνεσιν;
23 Not in this translation
24 Ἐπιβήσονταί σοι, καὶ οὐ γνώσῃ, ὡς Βαβυλὼν καὶ ἁλώσῃ· εὑρέθης, καὶ ἐλήφθης, ὅτι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀντέστης.
24 Not in this translation
25 Ἤνοιξε Κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξήνεγκε τὰ σκεύη ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἔργον τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων,
25 Not in this translation
26 ὅτι ἐληλύθασιν οἱ καιροὶ αὐτῆς· ἀνοίξατε τὰς ἀποθήκας αὐτῆς, ἐρευνήσατε αὐτὴν ὡς σπήλαιον, καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσατε αὐτήν· μὴ γενέσθω αὐτῆς κατάλειμμα·
26 Not in this translation
27 Ἀναξηράνατε αὐτῆς πάντας τοὺς καρποὺς, καὶ καταβήτωσαν εἰς σφαγήν· οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτῶν, καὶ καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεως αὐτῶν.

28 Φωνὴ φευγόντων, καὶ ἀνασωζομένων ἐκ γῆς Βαβυλῶνος, τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι εἰς Σιὼν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

29 Παραγγείλατε ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα πολλοῖς, παντὶ ἐντείνοντι τόξον, παρεμβάλλετε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν κυκλόθεν· μὴ ἔστω αὐτῆς ἀνασωζόμενος· ἀνταπόδοτε αὐτῇ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, ποιήσατε αὐτῇ, ὅτι πρὸς Κύριον ἀντέστη Θεὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
29 Not in this translation
30 Διατοῦτο πεσοῦνται οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ αὐτῆς ῥιφήσονται, εἶπε Κύριος.

32 Not in this translation
33 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καταδεδυνάστευνται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα, ἅμα πάντες οἱ αἰχμαλωτεύσαντες αὐτοὺς, κατεδυνάστευσαν αὐτοὺς, ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐξαποστεῖλαι αὐτούς.
33 Not in this translation
34 Καὶ ὁ λυτρούμενος αὐτοὺς ἰσχυρὸς, Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ· κρίσιν κρινεῖ πρὸς τοὺς ἀντιδίκους αὐτοῦ, ὅπως ἐξάρῃ τὴν γῆν· καὶ παροξυνεῖ τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Βαβυλῶνα,
34 Not in this translation

39 Not in this translation
40 Καθὼς κατέστρεψεν ὁ Θεὸς Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, καὶ τὰς ὁμορούσας αὐταῖς, εἶπε Κύριος, οὐ μὴ κατοικήσει ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ παροικήσει ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

42 τόξον καὶ ἐγχειρίδιον ἔχοντες, ἰταμός ἐστι, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσῃ· ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν ὡς θάλασσα ἠχήσει, ἐφʼ ἵπποις ἱππάσονται, παρεσκευασμένοι, ὥσπερ πῦρ, εἰς πόλεμον, πρὸς σὲ, θύγατερ Βαβυλῶνος.
