Old Testament
1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
1 ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
2 “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
2 υἱὲ 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.
3 “Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for captivity, and go into captivity by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into captivity to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
3 καὶ 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.
4 By day you shall bring out your belongings in their sight, as though going into captivity; and at evening you shall go in their sight, like those who go into captivity.
4 καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος·
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your belongings out through it.
5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δι᾿ αὐτοῦ·
6 In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
6 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀναληφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ, τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν, διότι τέρας δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.
7 καὶ 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. ~
8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
8 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου τὸ πρωΐ πρός με λέγων·
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐκ εἶπαν πρός σὲ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων· τί σὺ ποιεῖς;
10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.” ’
10 εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ὁ ἄρχων καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ παντὶ οἴκω Ἰσραήλ, οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
11 Say, ‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall be carried away into captivity.’
11 εἰπόν, ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα, οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
12 And the prince who is among them shall bear his belongings on his shoulder at twilight and go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it. He shall cover his face, so that he cannot see the ground with his eyes.
12 καὶ 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.
13 I will also spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
13 καὶ 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.
14 I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
14 καὶ πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ τοὺς βοηθοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀντιλαμβανομένους αὐτοῦ διασπερῶ εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον καὶ ρομφαίαν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν·
15 “Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.
15 καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις.
16 But I will spare a few of their men from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the Gentiles wherever they go. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”
16 καὶ 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. ~
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and anxiety.
18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὸν ἄρτον σου μετὰ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι
19 And say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the land of Israel: “They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dread, so that her land may be emptied of all who are in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
19 καὶ 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·
20 Then the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.” ’ ”
20 καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται, καὶ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
21 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
21 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τίς ἡ παραβολὴ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες· μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι, ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις;
23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘ “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
23 διὰ 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·
24 For no more shall there be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
25 For I am the LORD. I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”
25 διότι 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. ~
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
26 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
27 “Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’
27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὁ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν· ἡ ὅρασις, ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ, εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς, καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει.
28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”
28 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος.
