Ezekiel 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying:
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
2'Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
2υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν σὺ κατοικεῖς, οἵ ἔχουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βλέπειν καὶ οὐ βλέπουσι καὶ ὦτα ἔχουσι τοῦ ἀκούειν καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
3Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for exile, and remove as though for exile by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will perceive, for they are a rebellious house.
3καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, ὅπως ἴδωσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
4And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for exile; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
4καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος·
5Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
5ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δι᾿ αὐτοῦ·
6In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the darkness; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.'
6ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀναληφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ, τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν, διότι τέρας δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
7And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for exile, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I carried out in the darkness, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
7καὶ ἐποίησα οὕτως κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατό μοι, καὶ σκεύη ἐξήνεγκα ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας καὶ ἑσπέρας διώρυξα ἐμαυτῷ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξῆλθον, ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀνελήφθην ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
8And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying:
8Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου τὸ πρωΐ πρός με λέγων·
9'Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee: What doest thou?
9υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐκ εἶπαν πρός σὲ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων· τί σὺ ποιεῖς;
10Say thou unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Concerning the prince, even this burden, in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are,
10εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ὁ ἄρχων καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ παντὶ οἴκω Ἰσραήλ, οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
11say: I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them — they shall go into exile, into captivity.
11εἰπόν, ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα, οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder, and go forth in the darkness; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
12καὶ ὁ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀρθήσεται καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσεται διὰ τοῦ τοίχου, καὶ διορύξει τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν δι᾿ αὐτοῦ· τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ συγκαλύψει, ὅπως μὴ ὁραθῇ ὀφθαλμῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν γῆν οὐκ ὄψεται.
13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
13καὶ ἐκπετάσω τὸ δίκτυόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ συλληφθήσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ μου, καὶ ἄξω αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων, καὶ αὐτὴν οὐκ ὄψεται καὶ ἐκεῖ τελευτήσει.
14And I will disperse toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
14καὶ πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ τοὺς βοηθοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀντιλαμβανομένους αὐτοῦ διασπερῶ εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον καὶ ρομφαίαν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν·
15And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
15καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
16καὶ ὑπολείψομαι ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρας ἀριθμῷ ἐκ ρομφαίας καὶ ἐκ λιμοῦ καὶ ἐκ θανάτου, ὅπως ἐκδιηγῶνται πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ εἰσήλθοσαν ἐκεῖ· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
17Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
17Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
18'Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;
18υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὸν ἄρτον σου μετὰ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι
19and say unto the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel. They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with appalment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
19καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτῶν μετὰ ἐνδείας φάγονται καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀφανισμοῦ πίονται, ὅπως ἀφανισθῇ ἡ γῆ σὺν πληρώματι αὐτῆς, ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ γὰρ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ·
20And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
20καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται, καὶ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
21And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
21Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
22'Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
22υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τίς ἡ παραβολὴ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες· μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι, ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις;
23Tell them therefore: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them: The days are at hand, and the word of every vision.
23διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς· ἠγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως·
24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor smooth divination within the house of Israel.
24ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
25For I am the LORD; I will speak, what word soever it be that I shall speak, and it shall be performed; it shall be no more delayed; for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.'
25διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λαλήσω τοὺς λόγους μου, λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ μηκύνω ἔτι· ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων, λαλήσω λόγον καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος.
26Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
26Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
27'Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say: The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
27υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὁ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν· ἡ ὅρασις, ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ, εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς, καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει.
28Therefore say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of My words be delayed any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD.'
28διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος.
