Jezekiel 2
1This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.Αὕτη ἡ ὅρασις ὁμοιώματος δόξης Κυρίου· καὶ ἴδον, καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου, καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν λαλοῦντος· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στῆθι ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου, καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς σέ·
2And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.Καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ πνεῦμα, καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με, καὶ ἐξῇρέ με, καὶ ἔστησέ με ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, καὶ ἤκουον αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς μέ.
3And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐξαποστέλλω ἐγώ σε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, τοὺς παραπικραίνοντάς με, οἵτινες παρεπίκρανάν με, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
4And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.Καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος,
5Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house,) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.ἐὰν ἆρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστὶ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σὺ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
6And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτοὺς, μηδὲ ἐκστῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· διότι παροιστρήσουσι, καὶ ἐπισυστήσονται ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ σκορπίων σὺ κατοικεῖς· τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῇς, καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν μὴ ἐκστῇς, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
7And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.Καὶ λαλήσεις τοὺς λόγους μου πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἐὰν ἆρα ἀκούσωσιν ἢ πτοηθῶσιν, ὅτι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
8And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἄκουε τοῦ λαλοῦντος πρὸς σὲ, μὴ γίνου παραπικραίνων, καθὼς ὁ οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων· χάνε τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ φάγε ὃ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σοι.
9And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.Καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ χεὶρ ἐκτεταμένη πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ κεφαλὶς βιβλίου.
10And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written upon: and there was written in it Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.Καὶ ἀνείλησεν αὐτὴν ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ γεγραμμένα τὰ ἔμπροσθεν καὶ τὰ ὀπίσω· καὶ ἐγέγραπτο θρῆνος καὶ μέλος καὶ οὐαί.
