Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
1ΚΑΙ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, κατάφαγε τὴν κεφαλίδα ταύτην καὶ πορεύθητι καὶ λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.
2So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
2καὶ διήνοιξε τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ ἐψώμισέ με τὴν κεφαλίδα
3“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
3καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὸ στόμα σου φάγεται, καὶ ἡ κοιλία σου πλησθήσεται τῆς κεφαλίδος ταύτης τῆς δεδομένης εἰς σέ. καὶ ἔφαγον αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ στόματί μου ὡς μέλι γλυκάζον.
4Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
4καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, βάδιζε καὶ εἴσελθε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ λάλησον τοὺς λόγους μου πρὸς αὐτούς·
5For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
5διότι οὐ πρὸς λαὸν βαθύχειλον καὶ βαρύγλωσσον σὺ ἐξαποστέλλῃ, πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
6not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
6οὐδὲ πρὸς λαοὺς πολλοὺς ἀλλοφώνους ἢ ἀλλογλώσσους οὐδὲ στιβαροὺς τῇ γλώσσῃ ὄντας, ὧν οὐκ ἀκούσῃ τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν· καὶ εἰ πρὸς τοιούτους ἐξαπέστειλά σε, οὗτοι ἂν εἰσήκουσάν σου.
7But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
7ὁ δὲ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὐ μὴ θελήσουσιν εἰσακοῦσαί σου, διότι οὐ βούλονται εἰσακούειν μου· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ φιλόνεικοί εἰσι καὶ σκληροκάρδιοι.
8Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
8καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου δυνατὸν κατέναντι τῶν προσώπων αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ νῖκός σου κατισχύσω κατέναντι τοῦ νίκους αὐτῶν,
9I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
9καὶ ἔσται διαπαντὸς κραταιότερον πέτρας. μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπ ᾿ αὐτῶν μηδὲ πτοηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
10“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
10καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς λελάληκα μετὰ σοῦ, λαβὲ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ τοῖς ὠσί σου ἄκουε,
11Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
11καὶ βάδιζε, εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐὰν ἄρα ἀκούσωσιν, ἐὰν ἄρα ἐνδῶσι.
12Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’
12καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα, καὶ ἤκουσα κατόπισθέν μου φωνὴν σεισμοῦ μεγάλου· εὐλογημένη ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
13It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
13καὶ εἶδον φωνὴν τῶν πτερύγων τῶν ζῴων πτερυσσομένων ἑτέρα πρὸς τὴν ἑτέραν, καὶ φωνὴ τῶν τροχῶν ἐχομένη αὐτῶν καὶ φωνὴ τοῦ σεισμοῦ.
14So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
14καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ἐξῇρέ με καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με, καὶ ἐπορεύθην ἐν ὁρμῇ τοῦ πνεύματός μου, καὶ χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐγένετο ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ κραταιά.
15I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
15καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν μετέωρος καὶ περιῆλθον τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβὰρ τοὺς ὄντας ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐκεῖ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἀναστρεφόμενος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
16At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
16Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
17“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
17υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, σκοπὸν δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ στόματός μου λόγον καὶ διαπειλήσῃ αὐτοῖς παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
18If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
18ἐν τῷ λέγειν με τῷ ἀνόμῳ· θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ, καὶ οὐ διεστείλω αὐτῷ οὐδὲ ἐλάλησας τοῦ διαστείλασθαι τῷ ἀνόμῳ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ζῆσαι αὐτόν, ὁ ἄνομος ἐκεῖνος τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἐκζητήσω.
19But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
19καὶ σὺ ἐὰν διαστείλῃ τῷ ἀνόμῳ, καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὁ ἄνομος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ σὺ τὴν ψυχήν σου ρύσῃ.
20Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
20καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέφειν δίκαιον ἀπὸ τῶν δικαιοσυνῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσει παράπτωμα καὶ δώσω τὴν βάσανον εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς ἀποθανεῖται, ὅτι οὐ διεστείλω αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται, διότι οὐ μὴ μνησθῶσιν αἱ δικαιοσύναι αὐτοῦ, ἃς ἐποίησε, καὶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἐκζητήσω.
21But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
21σὺ δὲ ἐὰν διαστείλῃ τῷ δικαίῳ τοῦ μὴ ἁμαρτεῖν, καὶ αὐτὸς μὴ ἁμάρτῃ, ὁ δίκαιος ζωῇ ζήσεται, ὅτι διεστείλω αὐτῷ, καὶ σὺ τὴν σεαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ρύσῃ.
22And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
22Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ χεὶρ Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπε πρός με· ἀνάστηθι, καὶ ἔξελθε εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ ἐκεῖ λαληθήσεται πρός σε.
23So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
23καὶ ἀνέστην καὶ ἐξῆλθον πρὸς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ δόξα Κυρίου εἱστήκει καθὼς ἡ ὅρασις καὶ καθὼς ἡ δόξα Κυρίου, ἣν εἶδον ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Χοβάρ, καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου.
24Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
24καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστησέ με ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, καὶ ἐλάλησε πρός με καὶ εἶπέ μοι· εἴσελθε καὶ ἐγκλείσθητι ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου σου.
25And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
25καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ δέδονται ἐπὶ σὲ δεσμοί, καὶ δήσουσί σε ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν.
26I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
26καὶ τὴν γλῶσσάν σου συνδήσω, καὶ ἀποκωφωθήσῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄνδρα ἐλέγχοντα, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
27But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
27καὶ ἐν τῷ λαλεῖν με πρὸς σὲ ἀνοίξω τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὁ ἀκούων ἀκουέτω, καὶ ὁ ἀπειθῶν ἀπειθήτω, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
