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 δε Πασχώρ, ο υιός του Ιμμήρ ο ιερεύς, ο και προϊστάμενος εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου, ήκουσε τον Ιερεμίαν προφητεύοντα τους λόγους τούτους.
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 Και επάταξεν ο Πασχώρ Ιερεμίαν τον προφήτην και έβαλεν αυτόν εις το δεσμωτήριον το εν τη άνω πύλη του Βενιαμίν, το εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
3 Και την επαύριον εξήγαγεν ο Πασχώρ τον Ιερεμίαν εκ του δεσμωτηρίου. Και ο Ιερεμίας είπε προς αυτόν, Ο Κύριος δεν εκάλεσε το όνομά σου Πασχώρ, αλλά Μαγόρ-μισσαβίβ.
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 Διότι ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Ιδού, θέλω σε κάμει τρόμον εις σεαυτόν και εις πάντας τους φίλους σου· και θέλουσι πέσει διά της μαχαίρας των εχθρών αυτών και οι οφθαλμοί σου θέλουσιν ιδεί τούτο· και θέλω δώσει πάντα τον Ιούδαν εις την χείρα του βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος, και θέλει φέρει αυτούς αιχμαλώτους εις την Βαβυλώνα και θέλει πατάξει αυτούς εν μαχαίρα.
4 For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 Και θέλω δώσει πάσαν την δύναμιν της πόλεως ταύτης και πάντας τους κόπους αυτής και πάντα τα πολύτιμα αυτής και πάντας τους θησαυρούς των βασιλέων Ιούδα θέλω δώσει εις την χείρα των εχθρών αυτών, και θέλουσι λεηλατήσει αυτούς και λάβει αυτούς και φέρει αυτούς εις την Βαβυλώνα.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Και συ, Πασχώρ, και πάντες οι κατοικούντες εν τω οίκω σου, θέλετε υπάγει εις αιχμαλωσίαν· και θέλεις ελθεί εις την Βαβυλώνα, και εκεί θέλεις αποθάνει και εκεί θέλεις ταφή, συ και πάντες οι φίλοι σου, εις τους οποίους προεφήτευσας ψευδώς.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Κύριε, με εδελέασας και εδελεάσθην· υπερίσχυσας κατ' εμού και κατίσχυσας· έγεινα χλευασμός όλην την ημέραν· πάντες με εμπαίζουσι.
7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8 Διότι αφού ήνοιξα στόμα, βοώ, φωνάζω βίαν και αρπαγήν· όθεν ο λόγος του Κυρίου έγεινεν εις εμέ προς ονειδισμόν και προς χλευασμόν όλην την ημέραν.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9 Και είπα, Δεν θέλω αναφέρει περί αυτού ουδέ θέλω λαλήσει πλέον εν τω ονόματι αυτού· όμως ο λόγος αυτού ήτο εν τη καρδία μου ως καιόμενον πυρ περικεκλεισμένον εν τοις οστέοις μου, και απέκαμον χαλινόνων εμαυτόν και δεν ηδυνάμην πλέον.
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10 Διότι ήκουσα ύβριν παρά πολλών· τρόμος πανταχόθεν· Κατηγορήσατε, λέγουσι, και θέλομεν κατηγορήσει αυτόν. Πάντες οι ειρηνεύοντες μετ' εμού παρεφύλαττον το πρόσκομμά μου, λέγοντες, Ίσως δελεασθή, και θέλομεν υπερισχύσει εναντίον αυτού και εκδικηθή κατ' αυτού.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 Αλλ' ο Κύριος είναι μετ' εμού ως ισχυρός πολεμιστής· διά τούτο οι διώκταί μου θέλουσι προσκόψει και δεν θέλουσιν υπερισχύσει· θέλουσι καταισχυνθή σφόδρα· διότι δεν ενόησαν· η αιώνιος αισχύνη αυτών δεν θέλει λησμονηθή.
11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12 Αλλά, Κύριε των δυνάμεων, ο δοκιμάζων τον δίκαιον, ο βλέπων τους νεφρούς και την καρδίαν, ας ίδω την εκδίκησίν σου επ' αυτούς· διότι εις σε εφανέρωσα την κρίσιν μου.
12 But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Ψάλλετε εις τον Κύριον, αινείτε τον Κύριον· διότι ηλευθέρωσε την ψυχήν του πτωχού εκ χειρός πονηρευομένων.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Επικατάρατος η ημέρα, καθ' ην εγεννήθην· η ημέρα καθ' ην η μήτηρ μου με εγέννησεν, ας μη ήναι ευλογημένη.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Επικατάρατος ο άνθρωπος, όστις ευηγγελίσατο προς τον πατέρα μου, λέγων, Εγεννήθη εις σε παιδίον άρσεν, ευφραίνων αυτόν σφόδρα.
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16 Και ας ήναι ο άνθρωπος εκείνος ως αι πόλεις, τας οποίας ο Κύριος κατέστρεψε και δεν μετεμελήθη· και ας ακούση κραυγήν το πρωΐ και αλαλαγμόν εν μεσημβρία.
16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 Διά τι δεν εθανατώθην εκ μήτρας; ή η μήτηρ μου δεν έγεινε τάφος εις εμέ και η μήτρα αυτής δεν με εβάστασεν εις αιώνιον σύλληψιν;
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 διά τι εξήλθον εκ της μήτρας, διά να βλέπω μόχθον και λύπην και να τελειώσωσιν αι ημέραι μου εν αισχύνη;
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
