ParaleipomenaIeremiou /4Baruch Greek, chapter 1
1 1 Ἐγένετο, ἡνίκα ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν Χαλδαίων, ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν λέγων· Ἱερεμία, ὁ ἐκλεκτός μου, ἀνάστα, καὶ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, σὺ καὶ Βαρούχ· ἐπειδὴ ἀπολῶ αὐτὴν διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ. 2 αἱ γὰρ προσευχαὶ ὑμῶν ὡς στῦλος ἑδραῖός ἐστιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὡς τεῖχος ἀδαμάντινον περικυκλοῦν αὐτήν. 3 νῦν οὖν ἀναστάντες ἐξέλθατε πρὸ τοῦ ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων κυκλώσει αὐτή. 4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰερεμίας, λέγων· Παρακαλῶ σε, κύριε, ἐπίστρεψέν μοι τῷ δούλῳ σου λαλῆσαι ἐνώπιόν σου. 5 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος· Λάλει, ὁ ἐκλεκτός μου Ἰερεμίας. 6 καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἰερεμίας, λέγων· Κύριε παντοκράτωρ, παραδίδως τὴν πάλιν τὴν ἐκλεκτὴν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων, ἵνα καυχήσηται ὁ βασιλεὺς μετὰ τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴπῃ ὅτι, Ἴσχυσα ἐπὶ τὴν ἱερὰν πόλιν τοῦ θεοῦ; 7 μή, κύριέ μου· ἀλλ᾽ εἰ θέλημά σού ἐστιν, ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀφανισθήτω. 8 καὶ εἶπε κύριος τῷ Ἰερεμίᾳ· Ἐπειδὴ σὺ ἐκλεκτός μου εἶ, ἀνάστα καὶ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, σὺ καὶ Βαρούχ· ἐπειδὴ ἀπολῶ αὐτὴν διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν αὐτῇ. 9 οὔτε γὰρ ὁ βασιλεύς, οὔτε ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ, δυνήσεται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς αὐτήν, εἰ μὴ ἐγὼ πρῶτος ἀνοίξω τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς. 10 ἀνάστηθι οὖν, καὶ ἄπελθε πρὸς Βαρούχ, καὶ ἀπάγγειλον αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα. 11 καὶ ἀναστάντες ἕκτην ὥραν τῆς νυκτός, ἔλθετε ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη τῆς πόλεως, καὶ δείξω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν μή τι ἐγὼ πρῶτος ἀφανίσω τὴν πόλιν, οὐ δύνανται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς αὐτήν. 12 ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ κύριος, ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰερεμίου.
