Jeremiah 7: Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:—
2Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.Ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου πᾶσα Ἰουδαία.
3Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you in this place.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, διορθώσατε τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν, καὶ κατοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.
4Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord.Μὴ πεποίθατε ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ λόγοις ψευδέσιν, ὅτι τὸ παράπαν οὐκ ὠφελήσουσιν ὑμᾶς, λέγοντες, ναὸς Κυρίου, ναὸς Κυρίου ἐστίν.
5For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,Ὅτι ἐὰν διορθοῦντες διορθώσητε τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν, καὶ ποιοῦντες ποιήσητε κρίσιν ἀναμέσον ἀνδρὸς, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ,
6If you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύσητε, καὶ αἷμα ἀθῶον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, καὶ ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων μὴ πορεύησθε εἰς κακὸν ὑμῖν,
7I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.καὶ κατοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἐν γῇ ᾗ ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ἐξ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος.
8Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:Εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπὶ λόγοις ψευδέσιν, ὅθεν οὐκ ὠφεληθήσεσθε,
9To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.καὶ φονεύετε, καὶ μοιχᾶσθε, καὶ κλέπτετε, καὶ ὀμνύετε ἐπʼ ἀδίκῳ, καὶ θυμιᾶτε τῇ Βάαλ, καὶ ἐπορεύεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων, ὧν οὐκ οἴδατε, τοῦ κακῶς εἶναι ὑμῖν,
10And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done all these abominations.καὶ ἤλθετε καὶ ἔστητε ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ οὗ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ εἴπατε, ἀπεσχήμεθα τοῦ μὴ ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα ταῦτα.
11Is this house then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord.Μὴ σπήλαιον λῃστῶν ὁ οἶκός μου, οὗ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν; καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα, λέγει Κύριος.
12Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel:Ὅτι πορεύθητε εἰς τὸν τόπον μου τὸν ἐν Σηλὼ, οὗ κατεσκήνωσα τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ ἴδετε ἃ ἐποίησα αὐτῷ ἀπὸ προσώπου κακίας λαοῦ μου Ἰσραήλ.
13And now, because you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:Καὶ νῦν ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐποιήσατε πάντα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα, καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἐκάλεσα ὑμᾶς καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθητε,
14I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.τοίνυν κᾀγὼ ποιήσω τῷ οἴκῳ ᾧ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ἐφʼ ᾧ ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, καθὼς ἐποίησα τῇ Σηλώ.
15And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.Καὶ ἀποῤῥίψω ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ προσώπου μου, καθὼς ἀπέῤῥιψα τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν, πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα Ἐφραΐμ.
16Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand me: for I will not hear thee.Καὶ σὺ μὴ προσεύχου περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, καὶ μὴ ἀξιοῦ τοῦ ἐλεηθῆναι αὐτοὺς, καὶ μὴ εὔχου, καὶ μὴ προσέλθῃς μοι περὶ αὐτῶν, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι.
17Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?Ἢ οὐχ ὁρᾷς, τί αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ἱερουσαλήμ;
18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger.Οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν συλλέγουσι ξύλα, καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν καίουσι πῦρ, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν τρίβουσι σταῖς, τοῦ ποιῆσαι καυῶνας τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἔσπεισαν σπονδὰς θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, ἵνα παροργίσωσί με.
19Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?Μὴ ἐμὲ αὐτοὶ παροργίζουσι; λέγει Κύριος· οὐχὶ ἑαυτοὺς, ὅπως καταισχυνθῇ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν;
20Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ καὶ θυμός μου χεῖται ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ κτήνη, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν ξύλου τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γῆς, καὶ καυθήσεται καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται.
21Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye the flesh.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν συναγάγετε μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ φάγετε κρέα.
22For I spoke not to your fathers, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and sacrifices.Ὅτι οὐκ ἐλάλησα πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, περὶ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυσίας.
23But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.Ἀλλʼ ἢ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς, λέγων, ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς λαὸν, καὶ πορεύεσθε ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου, αἷς ἂν ἐντείλωμαι ὑμῖν, ὅπως ἂν εὖ ᾖ ὑμῖν.
24But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear: but walked in their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked heart: and went backward and not forward,Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσάν μου, καὶ οὐ προσέσχε τὸ οὖς αὐτῶν, ἀλλʼ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασι τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν τῆς κακῆς, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν εἰς τὰ ὄπισθεν· καὶ οὐκ εἰς τὰ ἔμπροσθεν,
25From the day that their fathers came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήλθοσαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς πάντας τοὺς δούλους μου, τοὺς προφήτας, ἡμέρας καὶ ὄρθρου, καὶ ἀπέστειλα,
26And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and have done worse than their fathers.καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου, καὶ οὐ προσέσχε τὸ οὖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν.
27And thou shalt speak to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call them, but they will not answer thee.Καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς τοῦτον τὸν λόγον,
28And thou shalt say to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of their mouth.τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἤκουσε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, οὐδὲ ἐδέξατο παιδείαν, ἐξέλιπεν ἡ πίστις ἐκ στόματος αὐτῶν.
29Cut off thy hair, and cast it away: and take up a lamentation on high: for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath,Κεῖρε τὴν κεφαλήν σου, καὶ ἀπόῤῥιπτε, καὶ ἀνάλαβε ἐπὶ χειλέων θρῆνον, ὅτι ἀπεδοκίμασε Κύριος, καὶ ἀπώσατο τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ποιοῦσαν ταῦτα.
30Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute it;Ὅτι ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον ἐμοῦ, λέγει Κύριος· ἔταξαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, οὗ ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, τοῦ μιάναι αὐτόν.
31And they have built the high places of Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on in my heart.Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τὸν βωμὸν τοῦ Ταφὲθ, ὅς ἐστιν ἐν φάραγγι υἱοῦ Ἐννὸμ, τοῦ κατακαίειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ, ὃ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ διενοήθην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.
32Therefore behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is no place.Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ἔτι, Βωμὸς τοῦ Ταφὲθ καὶ φάραγξ υἱοῦ Ἐννὸμ, ἀλλʼ ἡ φάραγξ τῶν ἀνῃρημένων· καὶ θάψουσιν ἐν τῷ Ταφὲθ, διὰ τὸ μὴ ὑπάρχειν τόπον.
33And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non to drive them away.Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ νεκροὶ τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἀποσοβῶν.
34And I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.Καὶ καταλύσω ἐκ πόλεων Ἰούδα καὶ ἐκ διόδων Ἱερουσαλὴμ φωνὴν εὐφραινομένων, καὶ φωνὴν χαιρόντων, φωνὴν νυμφίου, καὶ φωνὴν νύμφης, ὅτι εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
