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 Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ὁ γενόμενος παρὰ Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ δεκάτῳ βασιλεῖ Σεδεκίᾳ, οὗτος ἐνιαυτὸς ὀκτωκαιδέκατος τῷ βασιλεῖ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος.
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Καὶ δύναμις βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐχαράκωσεν ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ Ἱερεμίας ἐφυλάσσετο ἐν αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν οἴκῳ βασιλέως,
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
3 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,
3 All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 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·
4 When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
5 Καὶ εἰσελεύσεται Σεδεκίας εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἐκεῖ καθίεται;
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
6 ΚΑΙ Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ἘΓΕΝΗΘΗ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ, ΛΕΓΩΝ,
6 Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 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.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 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,
8 The Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 καὶ ἐκτησάμην τὸν ἀγρὸν Ἀναμεὴλ υἱοῦ ἀδελφοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ἔστησα αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ σίκλους καὶ δέκα ἀργυρίου,
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
10 καὶ ἔγραψα εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ ἐσφραγισάμην, καὶ διεμαρτυράμην μάρτυρας, καὶ ἔστησα τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν ζυγῷ.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ βιβλίον τῆς κτήσεως τὸ ἐσφραγισμένον,
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 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.
12 “Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”
13 Καὶ συνέταξα τῷ Βαροὺχ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, λέγων,
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
14 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.
14 sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.
15 Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἔτι κτιηθήσονται ἀγροὶ, καὶ οἰκίαι, καὶ ἀμπελῶνες ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ.
15 Now Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 Καὶ προσευξάμην πρὸς Κύριον μετὰ τὸ δοῦναί με τὸ βιβλίον τῆς κτήσεως πρὸς Βαροὺχ υἱὸν Νηρίου, λέγων,
16 “Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.
17 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,
17 But I will deliver you in that day,” says Yahweh; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 ποιῶν ἔλεος εἰς χιλιάδας, καὶ ἀποδιδοὺς ἁμαρτίας πατέρων εἰς κόλπους τέκνων αὐτῶν μετʼ αὐτούς· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας, ὁ ἰσχυρὸς,
18 For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says Yahweh.’”
19 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·
