1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
1The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2διὰ τοῦτο προφήτευσον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ
2“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
3καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ καὶ ἐκσπάσω τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄνομον καὶ ἄδικον·
3Tell the land of Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
4ἀνθ' ὧν ἐξολοθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄδικον καὶ ἄνομον, οὕτως ἐξελεύσεται τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα ἀπὸ ἀπηλιώτου ἕως βορρᾶ·
4Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
5καὶ ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέσπασα τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει οὐκέτι.
5All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
6καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καταστέναξον ἐν συντριβῇ ὀσφύος σου καὶ ἐν ὀδύναις στενάξεις κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
6“Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
7καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἴπωσι πρὸς σέ· ἕνεκα τίνος σὺ στενάζεις; καὶ ἐρεῖς· ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγγελίᾳ, διότι ἔρχεται, καὶ θραυσθήσεται πᾶσα καρδία, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες παραλυθήσονται, καὶ ἐκψύξει πᾶσα σὰρξ καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα, καὶ πάντες μηροὶ μολυνθήσονται ὑγρασίᾳ· ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται καὶ ἔσται λέγει Κύριος.
7It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
8καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με, λέγων·
8The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· εἰπόν· ρομφαία ρομφαία, ὀξύνου καὶ θυμώθητι,
9“Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
10ὅπως σφάξῃς σφάγια, ὀξύνου ὅπως γένῃ εἰς στίλβωσιν, ἑτοίμη εἰς παράλυσιν, σφάζε, ἐξουδένει, ἀπωθοῦ πᾶν ξύλον.
10It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
11καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν ἑτοίμην τοῦ κρατεῖν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· ἐξηκονήθη ἡ ρομφαία, ἐστὶν ἑτοίμη τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν εἰς χεῖρα ἀποκεντοῦντος.
11It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
12ἀνάκραγε καὶ ὀλόλυξον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι αὐτὴ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου, αὐτὴ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἀφηγουμένοις τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· παροικήσουσιν ἐπὶ ρομφαίᾳ, ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου. διὰ τοῦτο κρότησον ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρά σου,
12Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
13ὅτι δεδικαίωται· καὶ τί εἰ καὶ φυλὴ ἀπώσθη; οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
13“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
14καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ κρότησον χεῖρα ἐπὶ χεῖρα καὶ διπλασίασον ρομφαίαν· ἡ τρίτη ρομφαία τραυματιῶν ἐστι, ρομφαία τραυματιῶν ἡ μεγάλη καὶ ἐκστήσει αὐτούς,
14“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
15ὅπως θραυσθῇ ἡ καρδία καὶ πληθυνθῶσιν οἱ ἀσθενοῦντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πύλην αὐτῶν· παραδέδονται εἰς σφάγια ρομφαίας, εὖ γέγονεν εἰς σφαγήν, εὖ γέγονεν εἰς στίλβωσιν.
15I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
16καὶ διαπορεύου, ὀξύνου, ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων, οὗ ἂν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐξεγείρηται.
16Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17καὶ ἐγὼ δὲ κροτήσω χεῖρά μου πρὸς χεῖρά μου καὶ ἀναφήσω τόν θυμόν μου· ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
17I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
18The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
19καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διάταξον σεαυτῷ δύο ὁδοὺς
19“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ρομφαίαν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος· ἐκ χώρας μιᾶς ἐξελεύσονται αἱ δύο, καὶ χεὶρ ἐν ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ πόλεως, ἐπ' ἀρχῆς ὁδοῦ διατάξεις τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ρομφαίαν ἐπὶ Ραββὰθ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.
20You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21διότι στήσεται βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχαίαν ὁδόν, ἐπ' ἀρχῆς τῶν δύο ὁδῶν, τοῦ μαντεύσασθαι μαντείαν, τοῦ ἀναβράσαι ράβδον καὶ ἐπερωτῆσαι ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς καὶ κατασκοπήσασθαι ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.
21For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
22ἐγένετο τὸ μαντεῖον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ βαλεῖν χάρακα, τοῦ διανοῖξαι στόμα ἐν βοῇ, ὑψῶσαι φωνὴν μετὰ κραυγῆς, τοῦ βαλεῖν χάρακα ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς καὶ βαλεῖν χῶμα καὶ οἰκοδομῆσαι βελοστάσεις.
22In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
23καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ὡς μαντευόμενος μαντείαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀναμιμνήσκων ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ μνησθῆναι.
23It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
24διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ' ὧν ἀνεμνήσατε τὰς ἀδικίας ὑμῶν, ἐν τῷ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, τοῦ ὁραθῆναι ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀσεβείαις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ὑμῶν, ἀνθ' ἀνεμνήσατε, ἐν τούτοις ἁλώσεσθε.
24“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
25καὶ σύ, βέβηλε, ἄνομε, ἀφηγούμενε τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οὗ ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας,
25“‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
26τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀφείλου τὴν κίδαριν καὶ ἐπέθου τὸν στέφανον· αὕτη οὐ τοιαύτη ἔσται· ἐταπείνωσας τὸ ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὕψωσας τὸ ταπεινόν.
26the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
27ἀδικίαν ἀδικίαν θήσομαι αὐτήν, οὐδ' αὕτη τοιαύτη ἔσται, ἕως οὗ ἔλθῃ ᾧ καθήκει, καὶ παραδώσω αὐτῷ.
27I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
28Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον, καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν καὶ πρὸς τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐρεῖς· ρομφαία ρομφαία ἐσπασμένη εἰς σφάγια καὶ ἐσπασμένη εἰς συντέλειαν, ἐγείρου ὅπως στίλβῃς
28“You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
29ἐν τῇ ὁράσει σου τῇ ματαίᾳ καὶ ἐν τῷ μαντεύεσθαί σε ψευδῆ, τοῦ παραδοῦναί σε ἐπὶ τραχήλους τραυματιῶν ἀνόμων, ὧν ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας.
29while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30ἀπόστρεφε, μὴ καταλύσῃς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ γεγέννησαι· ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ ἰδίᾳ σου κρινῶ σε
30Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
31καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ σέ ὀργήν μου, ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου ἐμφυσήσω ἐπὶ σέ καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας ἀνδρῶν βαρβάρων τεκταινόντων διαφθοράν.
31I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
32ἐν πυρὶ ἔσῃ κατάβρωμα, τὸ αἷμά σου ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς σου· οὐ μὴ γένηταί σου μνεία, διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
32You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
