Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ο λόγος, ο γενόμενος προς Ιερεμίαν παρά Κυρίου, λέγων,
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 Ακούσατε τους λόγους της διαθήκης ταύτης και λαλήσατε προς τους άνδρας Ιούδα και προς τους κατοίκους της Ιερουσαλήμ·
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός του Ισραήλ. Επικατάρατος ο άνθρωπος, όστις δεν υπακούει εις τους λόγους της διαθήκης ταύτης,
3 and say to them, Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4 την οποίαν προσέταξα εις τους πατέρας υμών, καθ' ην ημέραν εξήγαγον αυτούς εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εκ της καμίνου της σιδηράς, λέγων, Ακούσατε της φωνής μου και πράττετε αυτά, κατά πάντα όσα προσέταξα εις εσάς· και θέλετε είσθαι λαός μου, και εγώ θέλω είσθαι Θεός υμών·
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 διά να εκπληρώσω τον όρκον, τον οποίον ώμοσα προς τους πατέρας υμών, να δώσω εις αυτούς γην ρέουσαν γάλα και μέλι, ως εν τη ημέρα ταύτη. Τότε απεκρίθην και είπα, Αμήν, Κύριε.
5 that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, Yahweh.”
6 Και ο Κύριος είπε προς εμέ, Διακήρυξον πάντας τους λόγους τούτους εν ταις πόλεσι του Ιούδα και εν ταις οδοίς της Ιερουσαλήμ, λέγων, Ακούσατε τους λόγους της διαθήκης ταύτης και πράττετε αυτούς.
6 Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Διότι ρητώς διεμαρτυρήθην προς τους πατέρας υμών, καθ' ην ημέραν ανεβίβασα αυτούς εκ γης Αιγύπτου μέχρι της σήμερον, εγειρόμενος πρωΐ και διαμαρτυρόμενος, λέγων, Ακούσατε της φωνής μου.
7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.”
8 Αλλά δεν ήκουσαν και δεν έκλιναν το ωτίον αυτών, αλλά περιεπάτησαν έκαστος εν ταις ορέξεσι της πονηράς αυτών καρδίας· διά τούτο θέλω φέρει επ' αυτούς πάντας τους λόγους της διαθήκης ταύτης, την οποίαν προσέταξα να πράττωσι, αλλά δεν έπραξαν.
8 Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 Και είπε Κύριος προς εμέ, Συνωμοσία ευρέθη μεταξύ των ανδρών Ιούδα και μεταξύ των κατοίκων της Ιερουσαλήμ.
9 Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Επέστρεψαν εις τας αδικίας των προπατόρων αυτών, οίτινες δεν ηθέλησαν να ακούσωσι τους λόγους μου· και αυτοί υπήγαν οπίσω άλλων θεών, διά να λατρεύωσιν αυτούς· ο οίκος Ισραήλ και ο οίκος Ιούδα ηθέτησαν την διαθήκην μου, την οποίαν έκαμα προς τους πατέρας αυτών.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Ιδού, θέλω φέρει επ' αυτούς κακόν, εκ του οποίου δεν θέλουσι δυνηθή να εξέλθωσι· και θέλουσι βοήσει προς εμέ και δεν θέλω εισακούσει αυτούς.
11 Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Τότε αι πόλεις του Ιούδα και οι κάτοικοι της Ιερουσαλήμ θέλουσιν υπάγει και θέλουσι βοήσει προς τους θεούς, εις τους οποίους θυμιάζουσι· πλην δεν θέλουσι σώσει εαυτούς παντελώς εν καιρώ της ταλαιπωρίας αυτών.
12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Διότι κατά τον αριθμόν των πόλεών σου ήσαν οι θεοί σου, Ιούδα· και κατά τον αριθμόν των οδών της Ιερουσαλήμ ανηγείρατε βωμούς εις τα αισχρά, βωμούς διά να θυμιάζητε εις τον Βάαλ.
13 For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
14 Διά τούτο συ μη προσεύχου υπέρ του λαού τούτου και μη ύψωνε φωνήν ή δέησιν υπέρ αυτών· διότι εγώ δεν θέλω εισακούσει, όταν κράζωσι προς εμέ εν καιρώ της ταλαιπωρίας αυτών.
14 “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 Τι έχει να κάμη η ηγαπημένη μου εν τω οίκω μου, αφού έπραξεν ασέλγειαν με πολλούς, και το κρέας το άγιον αφηρέθη από σου; όταν πράττης το κακόν, τότε ευφραίνεσαι.
15 What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
16 Ο Κύριος εκάλεσε το όνομά σου, Ελαίαν αειθαλή, ώραίαν, καλλίκαρπον· μετ' ήχου θορύβου μεγάλου εξήφθη πυρ επ' αυτήν και οι κλάδοι αυτής συνεθλάσθησαν.
16 Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 Διότι ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, όστις σε εφύτευσεν, επρόφερε κακόν εναντίον σου, διά την κακίαν του οίκου Ισραήλ και του οίκου Ιούδα, την οποίαν έπραξαν καθ' εαυτών, ώστε να με παροργίσωσι θυμιάζοντες εις τον Βάαλ.
17 For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 Και ο Κύριος έδωκεν εις εμέ γνώσιν και εγνώρισα· τότε έδειξας εις εμέ τας πράξεις αυτών.
18 Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.
19 Αλλ' εγώ ήμην ως αρνίον άκακον φερόμενον εις σφαγήν· και δεν ενόησα ότι συνεβουλεύθησαν βουλάς εναντίον μου, λέγοντες, Ας καταστρέψωμεν το δένδρον μετά του καρπού αυτού και ας εκκόψωμεν αυτόν από της γης των ζώντων, ώστε το όνομα αυτού να μη μνημονευθή πλέον.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
20 Αλλ' ω Κύριε των δυνάμεων, ο κρίνων δικαίως, ο δοκιμάζων τους νεφρούς και την καρδίαν, ας ίδω την εκδίκησίν σου επ' αυτούς, διότι προς σε εφανέρωσα την δίκην μου.
20 But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
21 Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος περί των ανδρών της Αναθώθ, οίτινες ζητούσι την ζωήν σου, λέγοντες, Μη προφητεύσης εν τω ονόματι του Κυρίου, διά να μη αποθάνης υπό τας χείρας ημών·
21 “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you not die by our hand’—
22 διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος των δυνάμεων· Ιδού, θέλω επισκεφθή αυτούς· οι νέοι θέλουσιν αποθάνει εν μαχαίρα· οι υιοί αυτών αι θυγατέρες αυτών θέλουσι τελευτήσει υπό πείνης·
22 therefore Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 και δεν θέλει μείνει υπόλοιπον εξ αυτών· διότι θέλω φέρει κακόν επί τους άνδρας της Αναθώθ, εν τω ενιαυτώ της επισκέψεως αυτών.
23 There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Hear, for example, what God saith unto this last, "Pray not thou for this people, for I will not hear thee." And why marvellest thou if I hear not thee?
