Ezekiel 28
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
1Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2'Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God —
2Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν τῷ ἄρχοντι Τύρου, τάδε λέλει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ οὗ ὑψώθη σου ἡ καρδία, καὶ εἶπας, Θεός εἰμι ἐγὼ, κατοικίαν Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκας τὴν καρδίαν σου ὡς καρδίαν Θεοῦ.
3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! there is no secret that they can hide from thee!
3Μὴ σοφώτερος εἶ σὺ τοῦ Δανιήλ; ἢ σοφοὶ οὐκ ἐπαίδευσάν σε τῇ ἐπιστήμῃ αὐτῶν;
4By thy wisdom and by thy discernment thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
4Μὴ ἐν τῇ ἐπιστήμῃ σου ἢ τῇ φρονήσει σου ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ δύναμιν, καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς σου;
5In thy great wisdom by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches —
5Ἐν τῇ πολλῇ ἐπιστήμῃ σου καὶ ἐμπορίᾳ σου ἐπλήθυνας δύναμίν σου, ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία σου ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου.
6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God;
6Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐπειδὴ δέδωκας τὴν καρδίαν σου ὡς καρδίαν Θεοῦ,
7Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
7ἀντὶ τούτου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ἀλλοτρίους λοιμοὺς ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐκκενώσουσι τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλος τῆς ἐπιστήμης σου, καὶ στρώσουσιν τὸ κάλλος σου εἰς ἀπώλειαν,
8They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.
8καὶ καταβιβάσουσί σε, καὶ ἀποθανῇ θανάτῳ τραυματιῶν ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης.
9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee: I am God? But thou art man, and not God, in the hand of them that defile thee.
9Μὴ λέγων ἐρεῖς, Θεός εἰμι ἐγὼ, ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀναιρούντων σε; σὺ δὲ εἶ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ οὐ Θεός.
10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken, saith the Lord GOD.'
10Ἐν πλήθει ἀπεριτμήτων ἀπολῇ ἐν χερσὶν ἀλλοτρίων, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, λέγει Κύριος.
11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
11Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
12'Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say unto him: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou seal most accurate, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty,
12υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα Τύρου, καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, σὺ ἀποσφράγισμα ὁμοιώσεως,
13thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
13καὶ στέφανος κάλλους ἐν τῇ τρυφῇ τοῦ παραδείσου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐγενήθης· πᾶντα λίθον χρηστὸν ἐνδέδεσαι, σάρδιον καὶ τοπάζιον, καὶ σμάραγδον καὶ ἄνθρακα, καὶ σάπφειρον καὶ ἴασπιν, καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, καὶ λιγύριον καὶ ἀχάτην, καὶ ἀμέθυστον καὶ χρυσόλιθον, καὶ βηρύλλιον καὶ ὀνύχιον, καὶ χρυσίου ἐνέπλήσας τοὺς θησαυρούς σου καὶ τὰς ἀποθήκας σου ἐν σοί.
14Thou wast the far-covering cherub; and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
14Ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐκτίσθης σὺ μετὰ τοῦ χερούβ, ἔθηκά σε ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ Θεοῦ, ἐγενήθης ἐν μέσῳ λίθων πυρίνων.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
15Ἐγενήθης σὺ ἄμωμος ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις σου, ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας σὺ ἐκτίσθης ἕως εὑρέθη τὰ ἀδικήματα ἐν σοί.
16By the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
16Ἀπὸ πλήθους τῆς ἐμπορίας σου ἔπλησας τὰ ταμεῖά σου ἀνομίας, καὶ ἥμαρτες, καὶ ἐτραυματίσθης ἀπὸ ὄρους τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἤγαγέ σε τὸ χεροὺβ ἐκ μέσου λίθων πυρίνων.
17Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may gaze upon thee.
17Ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία σου ἐπὶ τῷ κάλλει σου, διεφθάρη ἡ ἐπιστήμη σου μετὰ τοῦ κάλλους σου· διὰ πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν σου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἔῤῥιψά σε, ἐναντίον βασιλέων ἔδωκά σε παραδειγματισθῆναι.
18By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
18Διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου καὶ τῶν ἀδικιῶν τῆς ἐμπορίας σου, ἐβεβήλωσα τὰ ἱερά σου, καὶ ἐξάξω πῦρ ἐκ μέσου σου, τοῦτο καταφάγεταί σε· καὶ δώσω σε σποδὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σου ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν ὁρώντων σε.
19All they that know thee among the peoples shall be appalled at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.'
19Καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐπιστάμενοί σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι στενάξουσιν ἐπὶ σέ· ἀπώλεια ἐγένου, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξεις ἔτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
20And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
20Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
21'Son of man, set thy face toward Zidon, and prophesy against it,
21υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Σιδῶνα, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπʼ αὐτὴν,
22and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
22καὶ εἰπὸν, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ Σιδὼν, καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι ἐν σοί, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με ἐν σοὶ κρίματα, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν σοί.
23For I will send into her pestilence and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
23Αἷμα καὶ θάνατος ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις σου, καὶ πεσοῦνται τετραυματισμέμοι μαχαίραις ἐν σοὶ περικύκλῳ σου, καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
24And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a piercing thorn of any that are round about them, that did have them in disdain; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
24Καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται οὐκέτι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ σκόλοψ πικρίας καὶ ἄκανθα ὀδύνης ἀπὸ τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν, τῶν ἀτιμασάντων αὐτοὺς, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
25Thus saith the Lord GOD: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
25Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ συνάξω τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν λαῶν καὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν·
26And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell safely; when I have executed judgments upon all those that have them in disdain round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'
26Καὶ κατοικήσουσι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, ἣν δέδωκα τῷ δούλῳ μου Ἰακὼβ, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἐν ἐλπίδι, καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν οἰκίας, καὶ φυτεύσουσιν ἀμπελῶνας, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν ἐλπίδι, ὅταν ποιήσω κρίμα ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἀτιμάσασιν αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
