Jeremiah 42

THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,

(Μασ. ΛΕ´) Ο λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς ῾Ιερεμίαν παρὰ Κυρίου ἐν ἡμέραις ᾿Ιωακεὶμ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα λέγων·

Go to the house of the Archabin, and thou shalt bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.

βάδισον εἰς οἶκον ᾿Αρχαβεὶν καὶ ἄξεις αὐτοὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, εἰς μίαν τῶν αὐλῶν, καὶ ποτιεῖς αὐτοὺς οἶνον.

So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;

καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν ᾿Ιεζονίαν υἱὸν ῾Ιερεμίου υἱοῦ Χαβασὶν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκίαν ᾿Αρχαβεὶν

and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of [Joanan, the son of] Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who dwells near the house of the princes that are over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.

καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς τὸ παστοφόριον υἱῶν ᾿Ανανίου, υἱοῦ Γοδολίου ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς τοῦ οἴκου τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν ἐπάνω τοῦ οἴκου Μαασαίου υἱοῦ Σελώμ, τοῦ φυλάσσοντος τὴν αὐλήν,

And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink ye wine.

καὶ ἔδωκα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν κεράμιον οἴνου καὶ ποτήρια καὶ εἶπα· πίετε οἶνον.

But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, Ye shall on no account drink wine, [neither] ye, nor your sons for ever:

καὶ εἶπαν· οὐ μὴ πίωμεν οἶνον, ὅτι ᾿Ιωναδὰβ υἱὸς Ῥηχὰβ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν λέγων· οὐ μὴ πίετε οἶνον, ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἕως αἰῶνος.

nor shall ye at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall ye have a vineyard: for ye shall dwell in tents all your days; that ye may live many days upon the land, in which ye sojourn.

καὶ οἰκίας οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομήσητε καὶ σπέρμα οὐ μὴ σπείρητε, καὶ ἀμπελὼν οὐκ ἔσται ὑμῖν, ὅτι ἐν σκηναῖς οἰκήσετε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὑμῶν, ὅπως ἂν ζήσητε ἡμέρας πολλὰς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐφ’ ἧς διατρίβετε ὑμεῖς ἐπ’ αὐτῆς.

And we hearkened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;

καὶ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς ᾿Ιωναδὰβ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν πρὸς τὸ μὴ πιεῖν οἶνον πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἡμῶν, ἡμεῖς καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ἡμῶν,

and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

καὶ πρὸς τὸ μὴ οἰκοδομεῖν οἰκίας τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἀμπελὼν καὶ ἀγρὸς καὶ σπέρμα οὐκ ἐγένετο ἡμῖν,

but we have dwelt in tents, and have hearkened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

καὶ ᾠκήσαμεν ἐν σκηναῖς καὶ ἠκούσαμεν καὶ ἐποιήσαμεν κατὰ πάντα, ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν ᾿Ιωναδὰβ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν.

And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we dwelt there.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ὅτε ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ εἴπαμεν· εἰσέλθατε καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ᾿Ασσυρίων, καὶ ᾠκοῦμεν ἐκεῖ.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

Thus saith the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will ye not receive correction to hearken to my words?

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος· πορεύου καὶ εἰπὸν ἀνθρώπῳ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· οὐ μὴ λάβητε παιδείαν τοῦ ἀκούειν τοὺς λόγους μου;

The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk [it]: but I spoke to you early, and ye hearkened not.

ἔστησαν ῥῆμα υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωναδάβ, υἱοῦ Ῥηχάβ, ὃ ἐνετείλατο τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸ μὴ πιεῖν οἴνον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπίοσαν· καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὄρθρου, καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε.

And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn ye every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but ye inclined not your ears, and hearkened not.

καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς παῖδάς μου τοὺς προφήτας λέγων· ἀποστράφητε ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ βελτίω ποιήσατε τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν καὶ οὐ πορεύσεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ οἰκήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν· καὶ οὐκ ἐκλίνατε τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε.

But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not hearkened to me.

καὶ ἔστησαν υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωναδὰβ υἱοῦ Ῥηχὰβ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν, ὁ δὲ λαὸς οὗτος οὐκ ἤκουσέ μου.

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πάντα τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have hearkened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἐπειδὴ ἤκουσαν υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωναδὰβ υἱοῦ Ῥηχὰβ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ποιεῖν καθότι ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν,

there shall never be wanting a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.

οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἀνὴρ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ιωναδὰβ υἱοῦ Ῥηχὰβ παρεστηκὼς κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς γῆς.
