Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1In the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the Lord GOD’s hand fell on me there.
1Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἕκτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνὶ, πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγὼ ἐκαθήμην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰούδα ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιόν μου· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ ἐμὲ χεὶρ Κυρίου.
2Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire—from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire, and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
2Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοίωμα ἀνδρὸς, ἀπὸ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως κάτω πῦρ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, ὑπεράνω αὐτοῦ ὡς ὅρασις ἠλέκτρου.
3He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
3Καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁμοίωμα χειρὸς, καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με τῆς κορυφῆς μου, καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα ἀναμέσον τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἤγαγέ με εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν ὁράσει Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης εἰς Βοῤῥᾶν, οὗ ἦν ἡ στήλη τοῦ κτωμένου·
4Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
4Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦν ἐκεῖ δόξα Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν ἣν ἴδον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.
5Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
5Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· καὶ ἀνέβλεψα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολάς,
6He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.”
6Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἑώρακας τί οὗτοι ποιοῦσιν· ἀνομίας μεγάλας ποιοῦσιν ὧδε τοῦ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου· καὶ ἔτι ὄψει ἀνομίας μείζονας.
7He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
7Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς αὐλῆς.
8Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.
8Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ὄρυξον· καὶ ὤρυξα, καὶ ἰδοὺ θύρα.
9He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.”
9Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, εἴσελθε, καὶ ἴδε τὰς ἀνομίας ἃς οὗτοι ποιοῦσιν ὧδε.
10So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
10Καὶ εἰσῆλθον, καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ μάταια βδελύγματα, καὶ πάντα τὰ εἴδωλα οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ διαγεγραμμένα ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κύκλῳ.
11Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
11Καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ Ἰεχονίας ὁ τοῦ Σαφὰν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἱστήκει πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἕκαστος θυμιατήριον αὐτοῦ εἶχεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ, καὶ ἡ ἀτμὶς τοῦ θυμιάματος ἀνέβαινε.
12Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, ‘The LORD doesn’t see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.’”
12Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἑώρακας, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἃ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ ποιοῦσιν, ἕκαστος αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κοιτῶνι τῷ κρυπτῷ αὐτῶν, διότι εἶπαν, οὐχ ὁρᾷ ὁ Κύριος, ἐγκαταλέλοιπε Κύριος τὴν γῆν.
13He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.”
13Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἔτι ὄψει ἀνομίας μείζονας ἃς οὗτοι ποιοῦσι.
14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz.
14Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ γυναῖκες καθήμεναι θρηνοῦσαι τὸν Θαμμούζ.
15Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.”
15Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἑώρακας, καὶ ἔτι ὄψει ἐπιτηδεύματα μείζονα τούτων.
16He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and I saw at the door of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the LORD’s temple and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east.
16Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν οἴκου Κυρίου τὴν ἐσωτέραν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου ἀναμέσον τῶν αἰλὰμ, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, ὡς εἴκοσι ἄνδρες τὰ ὀπίσθια αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀπέναντι, καὶ οὗτοι προσκυνοῦσι τῷ ἡλίῳ.
17Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger. Behold, they put the branch to their nose.
17Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἑώρακας υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου· μη μικρα τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα τοῦ ποιεῖν τὰς ἀνομίας ἃς πεποιήκασιν ὧδε; διότι ἔπλησαν τὴν γῆν ἀνομίας· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ὡς μυκτηρίζοντες.
18Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”
18Καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς μετὰ θυμοῦ· οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω.
