Jeremiah 45
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαφατιας υἱὸς Μαθαν καὶ Γοδολιας υἱὸς Πασχωρ καὶ Ιωαχαλ υἱὸς Σελεμιου τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλει Ιερεμιας ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν λέγων
38:1
Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jucal (note: Jucal is a variant of Jehucal; see Jeremiah 37:3.) son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah heard that Jeremiah had been telling all the people:
οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους ζήσεται καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς εὕρεμα καὶ ζήσεται
38:2
“This is what the LORD says: Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans (note: That is, the Babylonians; also in verses 18, 19, and 23) will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war, and he will live.
ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος παραδιδομένη παραδοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας δυνάμεως βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ συλλήμψεται αὐτήν
38:3
This is what the LORD says: This city will surely be delivered into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”
καὶ εἶπαν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀναιρεθήτω δὴ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκλύει τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν πολεμούντων τῶν καταλειπομένων ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ τὰς χεῖρας παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ λαλῶν πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους ὅτι ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐ χρησμολογεῖ εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἀλλ᾿ ἢ πονηρά
38:4
Then the officials said to the king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by speaking such words to them; this man is not seeking the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύνατο ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς αὐτούς
38:5
“Here he is,” replied King Zedekiah. “He is in your hands, since the king can do nothing to stop you.”
καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν λάκκον Μελχιου υἱοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως ὃς ἦν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς καὶ ἐχάλασαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν λάκκον καὶ ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ ἀλλ᾿ ἢ βόρβορος καὶ ἦν ἐν τῷ βορβόρῳ
38:6
So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the cistern, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
καὶ ἤκουσεν Αβδεμελεχ ὁ Αἰθίοψ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως ὅτι ἔδωκαν Ιερεμιαν εἰς τὸν λάκκον καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Βενιαμιν
38:7
Now Ebed-melech the Cushite (note: Probably from the upper Nile region), a court official (note: Or eunuch) in the royal palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put into the cistern. While the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν
38:8
Ebed-melech went out from the king’s palace and said to the king,
ἐπονηρεύσω ἃ ἐποίησας τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ λιμοῦ ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν ἔτι ἄρτοι ἐν τῇ πόλει
38:9
“My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have dropped him into the cistern, where he will starve to death, for there is no more bread in the city.”
καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Αβδεμελεχ λέγων λαβὲ εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐντεῦθεν τριάκοντα ἀνθρώπους καὶ ἀνάγαγε αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃ
38:10
So the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and pull Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”
καὶ ἔλαβεν Αβδεμελεχ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ βασιλέως τὴν ὑπόγειον καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν παλαιὰ ῥάκη καὶ παλαιὰ σχοινία καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Ιερεμιαν εἰς τὸν λάκκον
38:11
Then Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the king’s palace, to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
καὶ εἶπεν ταῦτα θὲς ὑποκάτω τῶν σχοινίων καὶ ἐποίησεν Ιερεμιας οὕτως
38:12
Ebed-melech the Cushite cried out to Jeremiah, “Put these worn-out rags and clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so,
καὶ εἵλκυσαν αὐτὸν τοῖς σχοινίοις καὶ ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ιερεμιας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς
38:13
and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν ασελισι τὴν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς ἐρωτήσω σε λόγον καὶ μὴ δὴ κρύψῃς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ῥῆμα
38:14
Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance to the house of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” said the king to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ιερεμιας τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐὰν ἀναγγείλω σοι οὐχὶ θανάτῳ με θανατώσεις καὶ ἐὰν συμβουλεύσω σοι οὐ μὴ ἀκούσῃς μου
38:15
“If I tell you,” Jeremiah replied, “you will surely put me to death. And even if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.”
καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς λέγων ζῇ κύριος ὃς ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν τὴν ψυχὴν ταύτην εἰ ἀποκτενῶ σε καὶ εἰ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων
38:16
But King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us this life, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of these men who are seeking your life.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιερεμιας οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἐὰν ἐξελθὼν ἐξέλθῃς πρὸς ἡγεμόνας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη οὐ μὴ κατακαυθῇ ἐν πυρί καὶ ζήσῃ σὺ καὶ ἡ οἰκία σου
38:17
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you indeed surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then you will live, this city will not be burned down, and you and your household will survive.
καὶ ἐὰν μὴ ἐξέλθῃς δοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ καύσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ σωθῇς
38:18
But if you do not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans. They will burn it down, and you yourself will not escape their grasp.’”
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ιερεμια ἐγὼ λόγον ἔχω τῶν Ιουδαίων τῶν πεφευγότων πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους μὴ δώσειν με εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ καταμωκήσονταί μου
38:19
But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, for the Chaldeans may deliver me into their hands to abuse me.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ιερεμιας οὐ μὴ παραδῶσίν σε ἄκουσον τὸν λόγον κυρίου ὃν ἐγὼ λέγω πρὸς σέ καὶ βέλτιον ἔσται σοι καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή σου
38:20
“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the LORD in what I am telling you, that it may go well with you and you may live.
καὶ εἰ μὴ θέλεις σὺ ἐξελθεῖν οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος
38:21
But if you refuse to surrender, this is the word that the LORD has shown me:
καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ καταλειφθεῖσαι ἐν οἰκίᾳ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐξήγοντο πρὸς ἄρχοντας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ αὗται ἔλεγον ἠπάτησάν σε καὶ δυνήσονταί σοι ἄνδρες εἰρηνικοί σου καὶ καταλύσουσιν ἐν ὀλισθήμασιν πόδας σου ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ σοῦ
38:22
All the women who remain in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon, and those women will say: ‘They misled you and overcame you—those trusted friends of yours. Your feet sank into the mire, and they deserted you.’
καὶ τὰς γυναῖκάς σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐξάξουσιν πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ σωθῇς ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος συλλημφθήσῃ καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη κατακαυθήσεται
38:23
All your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans. And you yourself will not escape their grasp, for you will be seized by the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned down.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς ἄνθρωπος μὴ γνώτω ἐκ τῶν λόγων τούτων καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς
38:24
Then Zedekiah warned Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about this conversation, or you will die.
καὶ ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν οἱ ἄρχοντες ὅτι ἐλάλησά σοι καὶ ἔλθωσιν πρὸς σὲ καὶ εἴπωσίν σοι ἀνάγγειλον ἡμῖν τί ἐλάλησέν σοι ὁ βασιλεύς μὴ κρύψῃς ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνέλωμέν σε καὶ τί ἐλάλησεν πρὸς σὲ ὁ βασιλεύς
38:25
If the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what he said to you; do not hide it from us, or we will kill you,’
καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς ῥίπτω ἐγὼ τὸ ἔλεός μου κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀποστρέψαι με εἰς οἰκίαν Ιωναθαν ἀποθανεῖν ἐκεῖ
38:26
then tell them, ‘I was presenting to the king my petition that he not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”
καὶ ἤλθοσαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς Ιερεμιαν καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους οὓς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ἀπεσιώπησαν ὅτι οὐκ ἠκούσθη λόγος κυρίου
38:27
When all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, he relayed to them the exact words the king had commanded him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had overheard the conversation.
καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ιερεμιας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς ἕως χρόνου οὗ συνελήμφθη Ιερουσαλημ
38:28
And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.
