Jezekiel 14

1And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.Καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς μὲ ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἄνδρες τοῦ λαοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκάθισαν πρὸ προσώπου μου.

2And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸς μὲ λόγος Κυρίου, λέγων,

3Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἱ ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἔθεντο τὰ διανοήματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ἔθηκαν πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· εἰ ἀποκρινόμενος ἀποκριθῶ αὐτοῖς;

4Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him according to the things in which his mind is entangled,Διατοῦτο λάλησον αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἄνθρωπος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ, ὃς ἂν θῇ τὰ διανοήματα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ τάξῃ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλθῃ πρὸς τὸν προφήτην, ἐγὼ Κύριος ἀποκριθήσομαι αὐτῷ ἐν οἷς ἐνέχεται ἡ διάνοια αὐτοῦ,

5that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.ὅπως πλαγιάσῃ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν τὰς ἀπηλλοτριωμένας ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτῶν.

6Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your evil practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.Διατοῦτο εἰπὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἐπιστράφητε καὶ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀσεβειῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν.

7For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, according to the things wherein he is entangled.Διότι ἄνθρωπος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν προσηλύτων τῶν προσηλυτευόντων ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, ὃς ἂν ἀπαλλοτριωθῇ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ θῆται τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ τάξῃ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλθῃ πρὸς τὸν προφήτην τοῦ ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν ἐμοὶ, ἐγὼ Κύριος ἀποκριθήσομαι αὐτῷ, ἐν ᾧ ἐνέχεται ἐν αὐτῷ.

8And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ στηριῶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκεῖνον, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὸν εἰς ἔρημον καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ ἐξαρῶ αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ μου, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

9And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.Καὶ ὁ προφήτης ἐὰν πλανήσῃ καὶ λαλήσῃ, ἐγὼ Κύριος πεπλάνηκα τὸν προφήτην ἐκεῖνον, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀφανιῶ αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ μου Ἰσραήλ.

10And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:Καὶ λήψονται τὴν ἀδικίαν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ ἀδίκημα τοῦ ἐπερωτῶντος, καὶ κατὰ τὸ ἀδίκημα ὁμοίως τῷ προφήτῃ ἔσται·

11that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.Ὅπως μὴ πλανᾶται ἔτι ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἵνα μὴ μιαίνωνται ἔτι ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς παραπτώμασιν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαὸν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, λέγει Κύριος.

12And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

13Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, γῆ ἣ ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ μοι τοῦ παραπεσεῖν παράπτωμα, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ συντρίψω αὐτῆς στήριγμα ἄρτου, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν λιμὸν, καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη.

14And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they alone should be delivered by their righteousness, says the Lord.Καὶ ἐὰν ὦσιν οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, Νῶε καὶ Δανιὴλ καὶ Ἰὼβ, αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν σωθήσονται, λέγει Κύριος.

15If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:Ἐὰν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ τιμωρήσομαι αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διοδεύων ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν θηρίων,

16and if these three men should be in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὦσι, ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, εἰ υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες σωθήσονται, ἀλλʼ ἢ αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται, ἡ δὲ γῆ ἔσται εἰς ὄλεθρον.

17Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:Ἢ καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐὰν ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην, καὶ εἴπω, ῥομφαία διελθάτω διὰ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος,

18though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, οὐ μὴ ῥύσονται υἱοὺς οὐδὲ θυγατέρας, ἀλλʼ ἢ αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται.

19Or if again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:Ἢ καὶ θάνατον ἐπαποστέλλω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην, καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐν αἵματι τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος,

20and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, there shall be left them neither sons nor daughters; only they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.καὶ Νῶε καὶ Δανιὴλ καὶ Ἰὼβ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες ὑπολειφθῶσιν, αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν ῥύσονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν.

21Thus says the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgments, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τὰς τέσσαρας ἐκδικήσεις μου τὰς πονηρὰς, ῥομφαίαν, καὶ λιμὸν, καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ, καὶ θάνατον ἐξαποστείλω ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος·

22yet, behold, there shall be men left in it, the escaped thereof, who shall lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they shall go forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even all the evils which I have brought upon it.Καὶ ἰδοὺ ὑπολελειμμένοι ἐν αὐτῇ, οἱ ἀνασεσωσμένοι αὐτῆς, οἳ ἐξάγουσιν ἐξ αὐτῆς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, ἰδοὺ ἐκπορεύονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ μεταμεληθήσεσθε ἐπὶ τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπʼ αὐτήν.

23And they shall comfort you, because you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, says the Lord.Καὶ παρακαλέσουσιν ὑμᾶς, διότι ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι οὐ μάτην πεποίηκα πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει Κύριος.
