Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, λέγων·
2“Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
2υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, γράψον σεαυτῷ εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ἀφ' ἧς ἀπηρείσατο βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς σήμερον,
3Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
3καὶ εἰπὸν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα παραβολὴν καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα καὶ ἔγχεον εἰς αὐτὸν ὕδωρ
4Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
4καὶ ἔμβαλε εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ διχοτομήματα, πᾶν διχοτόμημα καλόν, σκέλος καὶ ὦμον ἐκσεσαρκισμένα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστῶν
5Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
5ἐξ ἐπιλέκτων κτηνῶν εἰλημμένων καὶ ὑπόκαιε τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν· ἔζεσεν ἔζεσε, καὶ ἥψηται τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.
6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
6διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων, λέβης ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἰὸς ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ ἰὸς οὐκ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτῆς· κατὰ μέλος αὐτῆς ἐξήνεγκεν, οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν κλῆρος.
7For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
7ὅτι αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐστιν, ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν τέταχα αὐτό. οὐκ ἐκκέχυκα αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ καλύψαι ἐπ' αὐτὸ γῆν·
8In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
8τοῦ ἀναβῆναι θυμὸν εἰς ἐκδίκησιν ἐκδικηθῆναι δέδωκα τὸ αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν τοῦ μὴ καλύψαι αὐτό.
9Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
9διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κἀγὼ μεγαλυνῶ τὸν δαλὸν
10Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
10καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ ξύλα καὶ ἀνακαύσω τὸ πῦρ, ὅπως τακῇ τὰ κρέα καὶ ἐλαττωθῇ ὁ ζωμὸς
11Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
11καὶ στῇ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνθρακας, ὅπως προσκαυθῇ καὶ θερμανθῇ ὁ χαλκὸς αὐτῆς καὶ τακῇ ἐν μέσῳ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκλίπῃ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς,
12It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
12καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτῆς πολὺς ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς, καταισχυνθήσεται ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς,
13Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
13ἀνθ' ὧν ἐμιαίνου σύ. καὶ τί ἐὰν μὴ καθαρισθῇς ἔτι, ἕως οὗ ἐμπλήσω τὸν θυμόν μου;
14I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
14ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα, καὶ ἥξει, καὶ ποιήσω, οὐ διαστελῶ οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω· κατὰ τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε, λέγει Κύριος. διὰ τοῦτο ἐγὼ κρινῶ σε κατὰ τὰ αἵματά σου καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε, ἡ ἀκάθαρτος, ἡ ὀνομαστὴ καὶ πολλὴ τοῦ παραπικραίνειν.
15Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
15Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
16“Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow.
16υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐκ σοῦ τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἐν παρατάξει· οὐ μὴ κοπῇς οὐδ' οὐ μὴ κλαυσθῇς.
17Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
17στεναγμὸς αἵματος, ὀσφύος, πένθους ἐστίν· οὐκ ἔσται τὸ τρίχωμά σου συμπεπλεγμένον ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματά σου ἐν τοῖς ποσί σου, οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇς ἐν χείλεσιν αὐτῶν καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ μὴ φάγῃς.
18So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.
18καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τὸ πρωΐ, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατό μοι, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἡ γυνή μου ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐποίησα τὸ πρωΐ ὃν τρόπον ἐπετάγη μοι.
19Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
19καὶ εἶπε πρός με ὁ λαός· οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖς ἡμῖν τί ἐστι ταῦτα, ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς;
20So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
20καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς· λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρός με λέγων·
21Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
21εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ βεβηλῶ τὰ ἅγιά μου, φρύαγμα ἰσχύος ὑμῶν, ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ὑπὲρ ὧν φείδονται αἱ ψυχαὶ ὑμῶν· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, οὓς ἐγκατελίπετε, ἐν ρομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται.
22Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.
22καὶ ποιήσετε ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα· ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτῶν οὐ παρακληθήσεσθε καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ φάγεσθε,
23Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves.
23καὶ αἱ κόμαι ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν· οὔτε μὴ κόψησθε οὔτε μὴ κλαύσητε, καὶ ἐντακήσεσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις ὑμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσετε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.
24‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
24καὶ ἔσται Ἰεζεκιὴλ ὑμῖν εἰς τέρας· κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησα, ποιήσετε, ὅταν ἔλθῃ ταῦτα· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
25And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,
25Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐχὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ὅταν λαμβάνων τὴν ἰσχὺν παρ' αὐτῶν, τὴν ἔπαρσιν τῆς καυχήσεως αὐτῶν, τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἔπαρσιν ψυχῆς αὐτῶν, υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν,
26on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
26ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἥξει ὁ ἀνασῳζόμενος πρὸς σὲ τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαί σοι εἰς τὰ ὦτα;
27On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
27ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ διανοιχθήσεται τὸ στόμα σου πρὸς τὸν ἀνασῳζόμενον καὶ λαλήσεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποκωφωθῇς οὐκέτι· καὶ ἔσῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς τέρας, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
