Jeremiah 40
Commentary from 2 fathers
Thus saith the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ποιῶν γῆν καὶ πλάσσων αὐτὴν τοῦ ἀνορθῶσαι αὐτήν, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ·
И҆ взѧ̀ є҆го̀ а҆рхїмагі́ръ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ тво́й согл҃алъ є҆́сть ѕла̑ѧ сїѧ̑ на мѣ́сто сїѐ:
Cry to me, and I will answer thee, and I will declare to thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
κέκραξον πρός με, καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαί σοι καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρά, ἃ οὐκ ἔγνως αὐτά.
и҆ приведѐ, и҆ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ, занѐ согрѣши́сте є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ не послꙋ́шасте гла́са є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бы́сть ва́мъ глаго́лъ се́й.
And here it is clear that God chose Israel from the beginning as a kindness to the other nations. For the miracles that took place because of them amazed all and clearly taught that their God alone was the true God. And again their misfortunes accused them of their wickedness and proclaimed the righteous verdict of God. Thus, for example, Nebuzaradan said that the Jews deservedly suffered punishment and God had acted justly.
On Jeremiah 8:40
For thus saith the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,
ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ περὶ οἴκων τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ περὶ οἴκων βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα τῶν καθῃρημένων εἰς χάρακας καὶ προμαχῶνας
И҆ сѐ, нн҃ѣ разрѣши́хъ тѧ̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́зъ, ꙗ҆̀же на рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю: а҆́ще тѝ є҆́сть добро̀ и҆тѝ со мно́ю въ вавѷлѡ́нъ, поидѝ, и҆ положꙋ̀ ѻ҆́чи моѝ на тѧ̀: а҆́ще же нѝ, ѡ҆ста́ни здѣ̀: сѐ, всѧ̀ землѧ̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ є҆́сть: что̀ и҆зво́лиши, и҆ а҆́може восхо́щеши и҆тѝ, та́мѡ и҆дѝ:
to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I smote in mine anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:
τοῦ μάχεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ πληρῶσαι αὐτὴν τῶν νεκρῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὓς ἐπάταξα ἐν ὀργῇ μου καὶ ἐν θυμῷ μου, καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ’ αὐτῶν περὶ πασῶν τῶν πονηριῶν αὐτῶν·
и҆ возврати́сѧ ко годолі́и, сы́нꙋ а҆хїка́мовꙋ, сы́нꙋ сафа́ню, є҆го́же поста́ви ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй въ землѝ і҆ꙋ́динѣ, и҆ живѝ съ ни́мъ средѣ̀ люді́й, во всѣ́хъ благи́хъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, є҆́же ходи́ти, и҆ ходѝ. И҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆рхїмагі́ръ пи́щꙋ и҆ да́ры и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ є҆го̀.
Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show [myself] to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀνάγω αὐτῇ συνούλωσιν καὶ ἴαμα καὶ φανερώσω αὐτοῖς εἰσακούειν καὶ ἰατρεύσω αὐτὴν καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς εἰρήνην καὶ πίστιν.
И҆ прїи́де і҆еремі́а ко годолі́и сы́нꙋ а҆хїка́мовꙋ въ массифа́ѳъ и҆ сѣ́де средѣ̀ люді́й свои́хъ ѡ҆ста́вшихсѧ на землѝ.
And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.
καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καθὼς τὸ πρότερον.
И҆ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шаша всѝ воевѡ́ды си́лы ꙗ҆́же на селѣ̀, ті́и и҆ си̑лы и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ поста́вилъ є҆́сть ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй годолі́ю сы́на а҆хїка́мова (властели́на) над̾ земле́ю, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ предадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ мꙋ́жы и҆ жєны̀ и҆ дѣ́ти, и҆ ѿ ᲂу҆бо́гихъ землѝ, и҆̀же не преведе́ни бы́ша въ вавѷлѡ́нъ:
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.
καὶ καθαριῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν, ὧν ἡμάρτοσάν μοι, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν, ὧν ἥμαρτόν μοι καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ.
прїидо́ша ко годолі́и въ массифа́ѳъ і҆сма́илъ сы́нъ наѳані́инъ и҆ і҆ѡана́нъ, и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ карі́евъ и҆ саре́а сы́нъ ѳанаеме́ѳовъ, и҆ сы́нове ѡ҆фѝ, и҆̀же бѣ́ша и҆з̾ нетѡфа́ѳы, и҆ і҆езоні́а сы́нъ маха́ѳы, ті́и и҆ мꙋ́жїе и҆́хъ.
And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.
καὶ ἔσται εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ αἴνεσιν καὶ εἰς μεγαλειότητα παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς, οἵτινες ἀκούσονται πάντα τὰ ἀγαθά, ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω, καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ πικρανθήσονται περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ περὶ πάσης τῆς εἰρήνης, ἧς ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς. -
И҆ клѧ́тсѧ и҆̀мъ годолі́а и҆ мꙋжє́мъ и҆́хъ, глаго́лѧ: не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ѿ лица̀ ѻ҆́трѡкъ халде́йскихъ: всели́тесѧ на землѝ и҆ слꙋжи́те царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскꙋ, и҆ лꙋ́чше ва́мъ бꙋ́детъ:
Thus saith the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which ye say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for want of men and cattle,
Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ἔτι ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ ὑμεῖς λέγετε· ἔρημός ἐστιν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτηνῶν, ἐν πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη,
и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ сѣжꙋ̀ въ массифа́ѳѣ, ста́ти проти́вꙋ лицꙋ̀ халде́йскꙋ, и҆̀же а҆́ще прїи́дꙋтъ на ва́съ: вы́ же собери́те вїно̀ и҆ ѻ҆во́щь, и҆ собери́те ма́сло, и҆ влі́йте въ сосꙋ́ды своѧ̑, и҆ всели́тесѧ во гра́ды, ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆держа́сте.
the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy [endures] forever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.
φωνὴ εὐφροσύνης καὶ φωνὴ χαρμοσύνης, φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴ νύμφης, φωνὴ λεγόντων· ἐξομολογεῖσθε Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι, ὅτι χρηστὸς Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσοίσουσι δῶρα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, ὅτι ἀποστρέψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης κατὰ τὸ πρότερον, εἶπε Κύριος·
И҆ всѝ і҆ꙋде́є, и҆̀же въ землѝ мѡа́вли и҆ въ сынѣ́хъ а҆ммѡ́нихъ, и҆ и҆̀же во і҆дꙋме́и и҆ и҆̀же во все́й землѝ, ᲂу҆слы́шаша, ꙗ҆́кѡ да́лъ є҆́сть ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй ѡ҆ста́нокъ во і҆ꙋ́дѣ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ поста́вилъ є҆́сть над̾ ни́ми годолі́ю сы́на а҆хїка́мова, сы́на сафа́нова.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for want of man and beast, in all the cities hereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων· ἔτι ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ τῷ ἐρήμῳ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταλύματα ποιμένων κοιταζόντων πρόβατα·
И҆ прїидо́ша всѝ і҆ꙋде́є ѿ всѣ́хъ мѣ́стъ, въ нѧ́же бѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆бѣ́гли, и҆ прїидо́ша ко годолі́и въ зе́млю і҆ꙋ́динꙋ въ массифа́ѳъ, и҆ собра́ша вїно̀ и҆ ѻ҆во́щь и҆ ма́сло мно́го ѕѣлѡ̀.
In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the [cities] round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers [them], saith the Lord.
ἐν πόλεσι τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς Σεφηλὰ καὶ ἐν πόλεσι τῆς Ναγὲβ καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κύκλῳ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα ἔτι παρελεύσεται πρόβατα ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀριθμοῦντος, εἶπε Κύριος.
І҆ѡана́нъ же сы́нъ карі́евъ и҆ всѝ воевѡ́ды си́лы, и҆̀же на се́лѣхъ, прїидо́ша ко годолі́и въ массифа́ѳъ
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,
(Μασ. ΛΓ´) ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς ῾Ιερεμίαν δεύτερον, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἔτι δεδεμένος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων·
Сло́во бы́вшее ко і҆еремі́и ѿ гдⷭ҇а, повнегда̀ ѿпꙋстѝ є҆го̀ навꙋзарда́нъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ и҆з̾ ра́мы, є҆гда̀ взѧ̀ є҆го̀ свѧ́занаго пꙋ̑ты ѿ среды̀, ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма и҆ ѿ і҆ꙋ́ды преселе́нїѧ, ведо́мыхъ въ вавѷлѡ́нъ.
