Jeremiah 30

Concerning Idumea, thus saith the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thæman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,

ΤΗ ἸΔΟΥΜΑΙΑ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι σοφία ἐν Θαιμὰν, ἀπώλετο βουλὴ ἐκ συνετῶν, ᾤχετο σοφία αὐτῶν, ἠπατήθη ὁ τόπος αὐτῶν·

their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, ye that inhabit Dædam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.

βαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Δαιδὰμ, ὅτι δύσκολα ἐποίησεν· ἤγαγον ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἐν χρόνῳ ᾧ ἐπεσκεψάμην ἐπʼ αὐτόν.

For grape-gatherers are come, who shall not leave thee a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon thy possessions.

Ὅτι τρυγηταὶ ἦλθον, οἳ οὐ καταλείψουσί σοι κατάλειμμα· ὡς κλέπται ἐν νυκτὶ, ἑπιθήσουσι χεῖρα αὐτῶν.

For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished each by the hand of his brother, my neighbour, and it is impossible

Ὅτι ἐγὼ κατέσυρα τὸν Ἡσαῦ, ἀνεκάλυψα τὰ κρυπτὰ αὐτῶν, κρυβῆναι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται, ὤλοντο διὰ χεῖρα ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, γείτονός μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν

for thy fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.

ὑπολείπεσθαι ὀρφανόν σου, ἵνα ζήσηται· καὶ ἐγὼ ζήσομαι, καὶ αἱ χῆραι ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πεποίθασιν·

For thus saith the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk it; and thou shalt by no means be cleared:

Ὅτι τάδε εἶπε Κύριος, οἷς οὐκ ἦν νόμος πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον, ἔπιον· καὶ σὺ ἀθωωμένη οὐ μὴ ἀθωωθῇς,

for by myself I have sworn, saith the Lord, that thou shalt be in the midst of her an impassable land, and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.

ὅτι κατʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, καὶ εἰς κατάρασιν ἔσῃ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἔσονται ἔρημοι εἰς αἰῶνα.

I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, saying, Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise ye up to war.

Ἀκοὴν ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ ἀγγέλους εἰς ἔθνη ἀπέστειλε, συνάχθητε, καὶ παραγένεσθε εἰς αὐτὴν, ἀνάστητε εἰς πόλεμον.

I have made thee small among the nations, utterly contemptible among men.

Μικρὸν ἔδωκά σε ἐν ἔθνεσιν, εὐκαταφρόνητον ἐν ἀνθρώποις.

Thine insolence has risen up against thee, the fierceness of thine heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring thee down.

Ἡ παιγνία σου ἐνεχείρησέ σοι, ἰταμία καρδίας σου κατέλυσε τρυμαλιὰς πετρῶν, συνέλαβεν ἰσχὺν βουνοῦ ὑψηλοῦ· ὅτι ὕψωσεν ὥσπερ ἀετὸς νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ, ἐκεῖθεν καθελῶ σε.

And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.

Καὶ ἔσται ἡ Ἰδουμαία εἰς ἄβατον, πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπʼ αὐτὴν συριεῖ.

As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, saith the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.

Ὥσπερ κατεστράφη Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, καὶ αἱ πάροικοι αὐτῆς, εἶπε Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, οὐ μὴ καθίσει ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσει ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Ætham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do ye set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who is this shepherd, who shall confront me?

Ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ λέων ἀναβήσεται ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου εἰς τόπον Αἰθὰμ, ὅτι ταχὺ ἐκδιώξω αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς νεανίσκους ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐπιστήσατε· ὅτι τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι; καὶ τίς οὗτος ποιμὴν, ὃς στήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου;

Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thæman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.

Διατοῦτο ἀκούσατε βουλὴν Κυρίου, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ λογισμὸν αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλογίσατο ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Θαιμὰν, ἐὰν μὴ συμψησθῶσι τὰ ἐλάχιστα τῶν προβάτων, ἐὰν μὴ ἀβατωθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κατάλυσις αὐτῶν,

For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.

ὅτι ἀπὸ φωνῆς πτώσεως αὐτῶν ἐφοβήθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ κραυγὴ θαλάσσης οὐκ ἠκούσθη.

Behold, he shall look upon her as an eagle, and spread forth his wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ ἀετὸς ὄψεται, καὶ ἐκτενεῖ τὰς πτέρυγας ἐπʼ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔσται ἡ καρδία τῶν ἰσχυρῶν τῆς Ἰδουμαίας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὡς καρδία γυναικὸς ὠδινούσης.

Concerning the sons of Ammon thus saith the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed them? wherefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?

ΤΟΙΣ ΥΙΟΙΣ ἈΜΜΩΝ οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, μὴ υἱοὶ οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, ἢ παραληψόμενος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς; διατί παρέλαβε Μελχὸλ τὴν Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἐνοικήσει;

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.

Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀκουτιῶ ἐπὶ Ῥαββὰθ θόρυβον πολέμων, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἄβατον καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ βωμοὶ αὐτῆς ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσονται, καὶ παραλήψεται Ἰσραὴλ τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ.

Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackclothes, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.

Ἀλάλαξον Ἐσεβὼν, ὅτι ὤλετο Γαΐ· κεκράξατε θυγατέρες Ῥαββὰθ, περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόψασθε, ὅτι Μελχὸλ βαδιεῖται ἐν ἀποικίᾳ, οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἅμα.

Why do ye exult in the plains of the Enakim, thou haughty daughter, that trustest in thy treasures, that sayest, Who shall come in to me?

Τί ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις Ἐνακεὶμ, θύγατερ ἰταμίας, ἡ πεποιθυῖα ἐπὶ θησαυροῖς, ἡ λέγουσα, τίς εἰσελεύσεται ἐπʼ ἐμέ;

Behold, I will bring terror upon thee, saith the Lord, from all the country round about thee; and ye shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.

Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω φόβον ἐπὶ σὲ, εἶπε Κύριος, ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς περιοίκου σου, καὶ διασπαρήσεσθε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ συνάγων.

Concerning Kedar the Queen of the Palace, whom Nabuchodonosor King of Babylon smote, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.

ΤΗ ΚΗΔΑΡ ΤΗ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΑΥΛΗΣ, ἫΝ ἘΠΑΤΑΞΕ ΝΑΒΟΥΧΟΔΟΝΟΣΟΡ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΒΑΒΥΛΩΝΟΣ, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, Ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ Κηδὰρ, καὶ πλήσατε τοὺς υἱοὺς Κεδέμ.

They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon ye destruction against them from every side.

Σκηνὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῶν λήψονται· ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν, καὶ καμήλους αὐτῶν λήψονται ἑαυτοῖς· καὶ καλέσατε ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλειαν κυκλόθεν.

Flee ye, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, ye that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.

Φεύγετε, λίαν ἐμβαθύνατε εἰς κάθισιν, καθήμενοι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, ὅτι ἐβουλεύσατο ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βουλὴν, καὶ ἐλογίσατο λογισμόν.

Rise up, and go up against a nation settled and dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, who dwell alone.

Ἀνάστηθι, καὶ ἀνάβηθι ἐπʼ ἔθνος εὐσταθοῦν, καθήμενον εἰς ἀναψυχὴν, οἷς οὐκ εἰσὶ θύραι, οὐ βάλανοι, οὐ μοχλοὶ, μόνοι καταλύουσι.

And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, saith the Lord.

Καὶ ἔσονται κάμηλοι αὐτῶν εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ πλῆθος κτηνῶν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς παντὶ πνεύματι κεκαρμένους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ἐκ παντὸς πέραν αὐτῶν οἴσω τὴν τροπὴν αὐτῶν, εἶπε Κύριος.

And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.

Καὶ ἔσται ἡ αὐλὴ διατριβὴ στρουθῶν, καὶ ἄβατος ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐ μὴ καθίσῃ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσει ἐκεῖ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

Concerning Damascus. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.

ΤΗ ΔΑΜΑΣΚΩ. Κατῃσχύνθη Ἠμὰθ, καὶ Ἀρφὰθ, ὅτι ἤκουσαν ἀκοὴν πονηρὰν, ἐξέστησαν, ἐθυμώθησαν, ἀναπαύσασθαι οὐ μὴ δύνωνται.

Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.

Ἐξελύθη Δαμασκὸς, ἀπεστράφη εἰς φυγὴν, τρόμος ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς.

How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?

Πῶς οὐχὶ ἐγκατέλιπε πόλιν ἐμὴν, κώμην ἠγάπησαν;

Therefore shall the young men fall in thy streets, and all thy warriors shall fall, saith the Lord.

Διατοῦτο πεσοῦνται νεανίσκοι ἐν πλατείαις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου πεσοῦνται, φησὶ Κύριος·

And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.

Καὶ καύσω πῦρ ἐν τείχει Δαμασκοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἄμφοδα υἱοῦ Ἄδερ.
