Sirach

I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be forsaken.

Greek · Septuagintτὴν ψυχήν μου κατεύθυνα εἰς αὐτὴν, καρδίαν ἐκτησάμην μετʼ αὐτῶν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν καθαρισμῷ εὗρον αὐτήν· διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλειφθῶ.

LXX Sirach 51:21

My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἡ κοιλία μου ἐταράχθη ἐκζητῆσαι αὐτήν· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκτησάμην ἀγαθὸν κτῆμα.

LXX Sirach 51:22

The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

Greek · SeptuagintἜδωκε Κύριος γλῶσσάν μοι μισθόν μου, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἰνέσω αὐτόν.

LXX Sirach 51:23

Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.

Greek · SeptuagintἘγγίσατε πρὸς μὲ ἀπαίδευτοι, καὶ αὐλίσθητε ἐν οἴκῳ παιδείας.

LXX Sirach 51:24

Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye of these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?

Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ὑστερεῖτε ἐν τούτοις, καὶ αἱ ψυχαὶ ὑμῶν διψῶσι σφόδρα;

LXX Sirach 51:25

I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.

Greek · SeptuagintἬνοιξα τὸ στὸμα μου, καὶ ἐλάλησα, κτήσασθε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνευ ἀργυριου.

LXX Sirach 51:26

Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.

Greek · SeptuagintΤὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν ὑπόθετε ὑπὸ ζυγὸν, καὶ ἐπιδεξάσθω ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν παιδείαν, ἐγγύς ἐστιν εὑρεῖν αὐτήν.

LXX Sirach 51:27

Behold with your eyes, how that I have had but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.

Greek · SeptuagintἼδετε ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι ὀλίγον ἐκοπίασα, καὶ εὗρον ἐμαυτῷ πολλὴν ἀνάπαυσιν.

LXX Sirach 51:28

Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.

Greek · SeptuagintΜετάσχετε παιδείας ἐν πολλῷ ἀριθμῷ ἀργυρίου, καὶ πολὺν χρυσὸν κτήσασθε ἐν αὐτῇ.

LXX Sirach 51:29

Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.

Greek · SeptuagintΕὐφρανθείη ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ αἰσχυνθείητε ἐν αἰνέσει αὐτοῦ.

LXX Sirach 51:30

Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward.

Greek · SeptuagintἘργάζεσθε τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν πρὸ καιροῦ, καὶ δώσει τὸν μισθὸν ὑμῶν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ.

Baruch

LXX Baruch 1:1

And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,

Greek · SeptuagintΚΑΙ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι τοῦ βιβλίου, οὓς ἔγραψε Βαροὺχ υἱὸς Νηρίου, υἱοῦ Μαασαίου, υἱοῦ Σεδεκίου, υἱοῦ Ἀσαδίου, υἱοῦ Χελκίου ἐν Βαβυλῶνι,

LXX Baruch 1:2

in the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.

Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ, ἐν ἑβδόμῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἔλαβον οἱ Χαλδαῖοι τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐνέπρησαν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί.

LXX Baruch 1:3

And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέγνω Βαροὺχ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τούτου ἐν ὠσὶν Ἰεχονίου υἱοῦ Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τῶν ἐρχομένων πρὸς τὴν βίβλον,

LXX Baruch 1:4

and in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐν ὠσὶ τῶν δυνατῶν, καὶ υἱῶν τῶν βασιλέων, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ ἐν ὠσὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου, πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ἐπὶ ποταμοῦ Σούδ.

LXX Baruch 1:5

Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔκλαιον, καὶ ἐνήστευον, καὶ ηὔχοντο ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

LXX Baruch 1:6

They made also a collection of money according to every man's power:

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ συνήγαγον ἀργύριον, καθὸ ἑκάστου ἠδύνατο ἡ χεὶρ,

LXX Baruch 1:7

and they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀπέστειλαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ πρὸς Ἰωακεὶμ υἱὸν Χελκίου, υἱοῦ Σαλὼμ, τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν, τοὺς εὑρεθέντας μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

LXX Baruch 1:8

at the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of [the month] Sivan, [namely], silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda had made,

Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ λαβεῖν αὐτὸν τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου, τὰ ἐξενεχθέντα ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, ἀποστρέψαι εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, τῇ δεκάτῃ τοῦ Σειουὰλ, σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ, ἃ ἐποίησε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Ἰωσία βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα,

LXX Baruch 1:9

after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.

Greek · Septuagintμετὰ τὸ ἀποικίσαι Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Ἰεχονίαν, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ τοὺς δεσμώτας, καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς, καὶ τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

LXX Baruch 1:10

And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπαν, ἰδοὺ ἀπεστείλαμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀργύριον, καὶ ἀγοράσατε τοῦ ἀργυρίου ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ λίβανον, καὶ ποιήσατε μάννα, καὶ ἀνοίσατε ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν,

LXX Baruch 1:11

and pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ προσεύξασθε περὶ τῆς ζωῆς Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἰς ζωὴν Βαλτάσαρ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ὦσιν αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν ὡς αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

LXX Baruch 1:12

and the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ δώσει Κύριος ἰσχὺν ἡμῖν, καὶ φωτίσει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμῶν, καὶ ζησόμεθα ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν Βαλτάσαρ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ δουλεύσομεν αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας πολλὰς, καὶ εὑρήσομεν χάριν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.

LXX Baruch 1:13

Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσεύξασθε περὶ ἡμῶν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

LXX Baruch 1:14

And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναγνώσεσθε τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο ὃ ἀπεστείλαμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐξαγορεῦσαι ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς, καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις καιροῦ,

LXX Baruch 1:15

And ye shall say, To the Lord our God [belongeth] righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as [it is come to pass] this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐρεῖτε, τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡ δικαιοσύνη, ἡμῖν δὲ αἰσχύνη τῶν προσώπων, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, ἀνθρώπῳ Ἰούδα, καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

LXX Baruch 1:16

and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers:

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῖς προφήταις ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν,

LXX Baruch 1:17

for we have sinned before the Lord,

Greek · Septuagintὧν ἡμάρτομεν ἔναντι Κυρίου,

LXX Baruch 1:18

and disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἠπειθήσαμεν αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, πορεύεσθαι τοῖς προστάγμασι Κυρίου, οἷς ἔδωκε κατὰ πρόσωπον ἡμῶν,

LXX Baruch 1:19

since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

Greek · Septuagintἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐξήγαγε Κύριος τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἤμεθα ἀπειθοῦντες πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐσχεδιάζομεν πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀκούειν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ.

LXX Baruch 1:20

Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as [it is to see] this day.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκολλήθη εἰς ἡμᾶς τὰ κακὰ, καὶ ἡ ἀρὰ ἣν συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐξήγαγε τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, δοῦναι ἡμῖν γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτη.

LXX Baruch 1:21

Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τῶν προφητῶν, ὧν ἀπέστειλε πρὸς ἡμᾶς.

LXX Baruch 1:22

but every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ᾠχόμεθα ἕκαστος ἐν διανοίᾳ καρδίας αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς, ἐργάζεσθαι θεοῖς ἑτέροις ποιῆσαι τὰ κακὰ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

LXX Baruch 2:1

Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔστησε Κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς δικαστὰς ἡμῶν, τοὺς δικάσαντας τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας ἡμῶν,

LXX Baruch 2:2

to bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπὶ ἄνθρωπον Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, τοῦ ἀγαγεῖν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς κακὰ μεγάλα, ἃ οὐκ ἐποιήθη ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καθὰ ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, κατὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ,

LXX Baruch 2:3

that a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

Greek · Septuagintτοῦ φαγεῖν ἡμᾶς, ἄνθρωπον σάρκας υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄνθρωπον σάρκας θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

LXX Baruch 2:4

Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὑποχειρίους πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις ταῖς κύκλῳ ἡμῶν, εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, καὶ ἄβατον ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς τοῖς κύκλῳ, οὗ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖ.

LXX Baruch 2:5

Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγενήθησαν ὑποκάτω καὶ οὐκ ἐπάνω, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀκούειν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ.

LXX Baruch 2:6

To the Lord our God [appertaineth] righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as [appeareth] this day.

Greek · SeptuagintΤῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἡ δικαιοσύνη, ἡμῖν δὲ καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν ἡ αἰσχύνη τῶν προσώπων, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

LXX Baruch 2:7

[For] all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us.

Greek · SeptuagintἋ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα ἃ ἦλθεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς,

LXX Baruch 2:8

Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ οὐκ ἐδεήθημεν τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῶν νοημάτων τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς.

LXX Baruch 2:9

Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγρηγόρησε Κύριος ἐπὶ τοῖς κακοῖς, καὶ ἐπήγαγε Κύριος ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ὅτι δίκαιος ὁ Κύριος ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν.

LXX Baruch 2:10

Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, πορεύεσθαι τοῖς προστάγμασι Κυρίου, οἷς ἔδωκε κατὰ πρόσωπον ἡμῶν·

LXX Baruch 2:11

And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as [appeareth] this day:

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὃς ἐξήγαγες τὸν λαόν σου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ, καὶ ἐν σημείοις, καὶ ἐν τέρασι, καὶ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη,

LXX Baruch 2:12

O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

Greek · Septuagintἡμάρτομεν, ἠσεβήσαμεν, ἠδικήσαμεν, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαιώμασί σου.

LXX Baruch 2:13

Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us.

Greek · SeptuagintἈποστραφήτω ὁ θυμός σου ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, ὅτι κατελείφθημεν ὀλίγοι ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὗ διέσπειρας ἡμᾶς ἐκεῖ.

LXX Baruch 2:14

Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:

Greek · SeptuagintΕἰσάκουσον Κύριε τῆς προσευχῆς ἡμῶν καὶ τῆς δεήσεως ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἕνεκέν σου, καὶ δὸς ἡμῖν χάριν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἀποικισάντων ἡμᾶς,

LXX Baruch 2:15

that all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.

Greek · Septuagintἵνα γνῷ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ὅτι σὺ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπεκλήθη ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ.

LXX Baruch 2:16

O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.

Greek · SeptuagintΚύριε κάτιδε ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἁγίου σου, καὶ ἐννόησον εἰς ἡμᾶς, καὶ κλῖνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου, καὶ ἄκουσον.

LXX Baruch 2:17

Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:

Greek · SeptuagintἌνοιξον ὀφθαλμούς σου, καὶ ἴδε, ὅτι οὐχ οἱ τεθνηκότες ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ, ὧν ἐλήφθη τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν σπλάγχνων αὐτῶν, δώσουσι δόξαν καὶ δικαίωμα τῷ Κυρίῳ·

LXX Baruch 2:18

but the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.

Greek · Septuagintἀλλὰ ἡ ψυχὴ ἡ λυπουμένη ἐπὶ τὸ μέγεθος, ὃ βαδίζει κύπτον καὶ ἀσθενοῦν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ ἐκλείποντες, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ ἡ πεινῶσα, δώσουσί σοι δόξαν, καὶ δικαιοσύνην, Κύριε.

LXX Baruch 2:19

Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings,

Greek · SeptuagintὍτι οὐκ ἐπὶ τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν βασιλέων ἡμῶν ἡμεῖς καταβάλλομεν τὸν ἔλεον κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν·

LXX Baruch 2:20

for thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, [saying],

Greek · Septuagintὅτι ἐνῆκας τὸν θυμόν σου καὶ τὴν ὀργήν σου εἰς ἡμᾶς, καθάπερ ἐλάλησας ἐν χειρὶ τῶν παίδων σου τῶν προφητῶν·

LXX Baruch 2:21

Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.

Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, κλίνατε τὸν ὦμον ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐργάσασθε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ καθίσατε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ἣν δέδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν.

LXX Baruch 2:22

But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσητε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, ἐργάσασθαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος,

LXX Baruch 2:23

I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.

Greek · Septuagintἐκλείψειν ποιήσω ἐκ πόλεων Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ φωνὴν εὐφροσύνης, καὶ φωνὴν χαρμοσύνης, φωνὴν νυμφίου, καὶ φωνὴν νύμφης, καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ εἰς ἄβατον ἀπὸ ἐνοικούντων.

LXX Baruch 2:24

But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their places.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν τῆς φωνῆς σου, ἐργάσασθαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος· καὶ ἔστησας τοὺς λόγους σου, οὓς ἐλάλησας ἐν χερσὶ τῶν παίδων σου τῶν προφητῶν, τοῦ ἐξενεχθῆναι τὰ ὀστᾶ βασιλέων ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν.

LXX Baruch 2:25

And lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἰδού ἐστιν ἐξεῤῥιμμένα τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας, καὶ τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός· καὶ ἀπεθάνοσαν ἐν πόνοις πονηροῖς, ἐν λιμῷ, καὶ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ, καὶ ἐν ἀποστολῇ.

LXX Baruch 2:26

And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as [it is to be seen] this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔθηκας τὸν οἶκον, οὗ ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, διὰ πονηρίαν οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἴκου Ἰούδα.

LXX Baruch 2:27

O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησας εἰς ἡμᾶς, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, κατὰ πᾶσαν ἐπιείκειάν σου, καὶ κατὰ πάντα οἰκτιρμόν σου τὸν μέγαν,

LXX Baruch 2:28

as thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write thy law before the children of Israel, saying,

Greek · Septuagintκαθὰ ἐλάλησας ἐν χειρὶ παιδός σου Μωυσῆ, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐντειλαμένου σου αὐτῷ γράψαι τὸν νόμον σου ἐναντίον υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων.

LXX Baruch 2:29

If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small [number] among the nations, where I will scatter them.

Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν μὴ ἀκούσητε τῆς φωνῆς μου, ἦ μὴν ἡ βόμβησις ἡ μεγάλη ἡ πολλὴ αὕτη ἀποστρέψει εἰς μικρὰν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ·

LXX Baruch 2:30

For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves,

Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἔγνων ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἀκούσωσί μου, ὅτι λαὸς σκληροτράχηλός ἐστι· καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ ἀποικισμοῦ αὐτῶν,

LXX Baruch 2:31

and shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν· καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν καὶ ὦτα ἀκούοντα,

LXX Baruch 2:32

and they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ αἰνέσουσί με ἐν γῇ ἀποικισμοῦ αὐτῶν· καὶ μνησθήσονται τοῦ ὀνόματός μου,

LXX Baruch 2:33

and return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ νώτου αὐτῶν τοῦ σκληροῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ πονηρῶν προσταγμάτων αὐτῶν, ὅτι μνησθήσονται τῆς ὁδοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν τῶν ἁμαρτόντων ἔναντι Κυρίου.

LXX Baruch 2:34

And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, τῷ Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ τῷ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῆς· καὶ πληθυνῶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐ μὴ σμικρυνθῶσι.

LXX Baruch 2:35

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ στήσω αὐτοῖς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, τοῦ εἶναί με αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν· καὶ οὐ κινήσω ἔτι τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς.

LXX Baruch 3:1

O Lord Almighty, God of Israel, the soul in anguish, the troubled spirit, crieth unto thee.

Greek · SeptuagintΚύριε παντοκράτωρ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ψυχὴ ἐν στενοῖς καὶ πνεῦμα ἀκηδιῶν κέκραγε πρὸς σέ.

LXX Baruch 3:2

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; for thou art merciful: and have pity upon us, because we have sinned before thee.

Greek · SeptuagintἌκουσον, Κύριε, καὶ ἐλέησον, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν ἐναντίον σου·

LXX Baruch 3:3

For thou endurest for ever, and we perish utterly.
