Jezekiel 23

1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

2Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, δύο γυναῖκες ἦσαν θυγατέρες μητρὸς μιᾶς,

3and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν τῇ νεότητι αὐτῶν, ἐκεῖ ἔπεσον οἱ μαστοὶ αὐτῶν, ἐκεῖ διεπαρθενεύθησαν.

4And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and as for their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.Καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἦν Ὀολὰ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα, καὶ Ὀολιβὰ ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐγένοντό μοι, καὶ ἔτεκον υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, Σαμάρεια ἦν Ὀολὰ, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἦν Ὀολιβά.

5And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,Καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ Ὀολὰ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐπέθετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐραστὰς αὐτῆς, ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἀσσυρίους τοὺς ἐγγίζοντας αὐτῇ,

6clothed with purple, princes and captains; they were young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.ἐνδεδυκότας ὑακίνθινα, ἡγουμένους καὶ στρατηγούς· νεανίσκοι καὶ ἐπίλεκτοι, πάντες ἱππεῖς ἱππαζόμενοι ἐφʼ ἵππων.

7And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all their devices.Καὶ ἔδωκε τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἐπίλεκτοι υἱοὶ Ἀσσυρίων πάντες· καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας οὓς ἐπέθετο, ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτοῖς ἐμιαίνετο.

8And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.Καὶ τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν, ὅτι μετʼ αὐτῆς ἐκοιμῶντο ἐν νεότητι αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτοὶ διεπαρθένευσαν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐξέχεαν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.

9Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.Διατοῦτο παρέδωκα αὐτὴν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, εἰς χεῖρας υἱῶν Ἀσσυρίων, ἐφʼ οὓς ἐπετίθετο.

10They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.Αὐτοὶ ἀπεκάλυψαν τὴν αἰσχύνην αὐτῆς, υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῆς ἔλαβον, καὶ αὐτὴν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀπέκτειναν· καὶ ἐγένετο λάλημα εἰς γυναῖκας, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐκδικήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς τὰς θυγατέρας.

11And her sister Ooliba saw it, and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.Καὶ εἶδεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς Ὀολιβὰ, καὶ διέφθειρε τὴν ἐπίθεσιν αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ ἐπί θεσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὴν πορνείαν τῆς τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.

12She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; they were all choice young men.Ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἐπέθετο, ἡγουμένους καὶ στρατηγοὺς, τοὺς ἐγγὺς αὐτῆς, ἐνδεδυκότας εὐπάρυφα, ἱππεῖς ἱππαζομένους ἐφʼ ἵππων· νεανίσκοι ἐπίλεκτοι πάντες·

13And I saw that they were defiled, that the two had one way.Καὶ ἴδον ὅτι μεμίανται ὁδὸς μία τῶν δύο.

14And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,Καὶ προσέθετο πρὸς τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶδεν ἄνδρας ἐζωγραφημένους ἐπὶ τοῦ τοίχου, εἰκόνας Χαλδαίων ἐζωγραφημένους ἐν γραφίδι,

15having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed attire upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.ἐζωσμένους ποικίλματα ἐπὶ τὰς ὀσφύας αὐτῶν, παραβαπτὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν αὐτῶν, ὄψις τρισσὴ πάντων, ὁμοίωμα υἱῶν Χαλδαίων, γῆς πατρίδος αὐτοῦ·

16And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.Καὶ ἐπέθετο ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τῇ ὁράσει ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων.

17And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.Καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς αὐτὴν υἱοὶ Βαβυλῶνος, εἰς κοίτην καταλυόντων, καὶ ἐμίαινον αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐμιάνθη ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.

18And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.Καὶ ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψεν αἰσχύνην αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.

19And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt,Καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὴν πορνείαν σου, τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι ἡμέραν νεότητός σου, ἐν αἷς ἐπόρνευσας ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ,

20and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members as the members of horses.καὶ ἐπέθου ἐπὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους, ὧν ὡς ὄνων αἱ σάρκες αὐτῶν, καὶ αἰδοῖα ἵππων τὰ αἰδοῖα αὐτῶν,

21And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, the things which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.καὶ ἐπεσκέψω τὴν ἀνομίαν νεότητός σου, ἃ ἐποίεις ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν τῷ καταλύματί σου, οὗ οἱ μαστοὶ νεότητός σου.

22Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,Διατοῦτο, Ὀολιβὰ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω τοὺς ἐραστάς σου ἐπὶ σὲ, ἀφʼ ὧν ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή σου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν,

23the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.υἱοὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πάντας τοὺς Χαλδαίους, Φακοὺκ, καὶ Σουὲ, καὶ Ὑχουὲ, καὶ πάντας υἱοὺς Ἀσσυρίων μετʼ αὐτῶν, νεανίσκους ἐπιλέκτους, ἡγεμόνας καὶ στρατηγοὺς, πάντας τρισσοὺς καὶ ὀνομαστὺος, ἱππεύοντας ἐφʼ ἵππων.

24And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and the enemy shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgments.Καὶ πάντες ἥξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, ἅρματα καὶ τροχοὶ μετʼ ὄχλου λαῶν, θυρεοὶ καὶ πέλται, καὶ βαλεῖ φυλακὴν ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ·

25And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour.καὶ δώσω πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν κρίμα, καὶ ἐκδικήσουσί σε ἐν τοῖς κρίμασιν αὐτῶν. Καὶ δώσω τὸν ζῆλόν μου ἐν σοὶ, καὶ ποιήσουσι μετὰ σου ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ· μυκτῆρά σου καὶ ὦτά σου ἀφελοῦσι, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καταβαλοῦσιν· αὐτοὶ υἱούς σου καὶ θυγατέρας σου λήψονται, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου πῦρ καταφάγεται.

26And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take away your ornaments.Καὶ ἐκδύσουσί σε τὸν ἱματισμόν σου, καὶ λήψονται τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου.

27So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὰς ἀσεβείας σου ἐκ σοῦ, καὶ τὴν πορνείαν σου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἄρῃς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ Αἰγύπτου οὐ μὴ μνησθῇς οὐκέτι.

28Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμί σε εἰς χεῖρας ὧν μισεῖς, ἀφʼ ὧν ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή σου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.

29And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all the fruits of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornicationΚαὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ ἑν μίσει, καὶ λήψονται πάντας τοὺς πόνους σου καὶ τοὺς μόχθους σου, καὶ ἔσῃ γυμνὴ καὶ αἰσχύνουσα, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται αἰσχύνη πορνείας σου· καὶ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου

30brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices.ἐποίησε ταῦτά σοι, ἐν τῷ ἐκπορνεῦσαί σε ὀπίσω ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐμιαίνου ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτῶν.

31You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.Ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου ἐπορεύθης· καὶ δώσω τὸ ποτήριον αὐτὴς εἰς χεῖράς σου.

32Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, τὸ ποτήριον τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου πίεσαι, τὸ βαθὺ καὶ τὸ πλατὺ, καὶ τὸ πλεονάζον τοῦ συντελέσαι μέθην.

33And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,Καὶ ἐκλύσεως πλησθήσῃ, καὶ τὸ ποτήριον ἀφανισμοῦ, ποτήριον ἀδελφῆς σου Σαμαρείας, πίεσαι αὐτό·

34drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken it, says the Lord.καὶ τὰς ἑορτὰς καὶ τὰς νουμηνίας αὐτῆς ἀποστρέψω· διότι ἐγὼ λελάληκα, λέγει Κύριος.

35Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you the reward of your ungodliness and your fornication.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐπελάθον μου, καὶ ἀπέῤῥιψάς με ὀπίσω τοῦ σώματός σου, καὶ σὺ λάβε τὴν ἀσέβειάν σου καὶ τὴν πορνείαν σου.

36And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐ κρινεῖς τὴν Ὀολὰν καὶ τὴν Ὀολιβὰν, καὶ ἀναγγελεῖς αὐταῖς τὰς ὀνομίας αὐτῶν;

37For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.Ὅτι ἐμοιχῶντο, καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν ἐμοιχῶντο, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐγέννησάν μοι, διήγαγον αὐτοῖς διʼ ἐμπύρων.

38So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.Ἕως καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησάν μοι, τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐμίαινον, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν,

39And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;καὶ ἐν τῷ σφάζειν αὐτοὺς τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου, τοῦ βεβηλοῦν αὐτά· καὶ ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίουν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου,

40and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments,καὶ ὅτι τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς ἐρχομένοις μακρόθεν, οἷς ἀγγέλους ἐξαπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἅμα τῷ ἔρχεσθαι αὐτοὺς, εὐθὺς ἐλούου, καὶ ἐστιβίζου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, καὶ ἐκόσμου κόσμῳ,

41and sat on a prepared bed, and before it there was a table set out, and as for my incense and my oil, they rejoiced in them,καὶ ἐκάθου ἐπὶ κλίνης ἐστρωμένης, καὶ τράπεζα κεκοσμημένη πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου εὐφραίνοντο ἐν αὐτοῖς,

42and they raised a sound of music, and that with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;καὶ φωνὴν ἁρμονίας ἀνεκρούοντο, καὶ πρὸς ἄνδρας ἐκ πλήθους ἀνθρώπων ἥκοντας ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου· καὶ ἐδίδοσαν ψέλλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.

43Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring after the manner of a harlot?Καὶ εἶπα, οὐκ ἐν τούτοις μοιχεύουσι; καὶ ἔργα πόρνης καὶ αὐτὴ ἐξεπόρνευσε;

44And they went in to her, as men go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.Καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτὴν, ὃν τρόπον εἰσπορεύονται πρὸς γυναῖκα πόρνην, οὕτως εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς Ὀολὰν, καὶ πρὸς Ὀολιβὰν, τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἀνομίαν.

45And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.Καὶ ἄνδρες δίκαιοι αὐτοὶ καὶ ἐκδικήσουσιν αὐτὰς ἐκδικήσει μοιχαλίδος, καὶ ἐκδικήσει αἵματος, ὅτι μοιχαλίδες εἰσὶ, καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν.

46Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀνάγαγε ἐπʼ αὐτὰς ὄχλον, καὶ δὸς ἐν αὐταῖς ταραχὴν καὶ διαρπαγὴν,

47And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.καὶ λιθοβόλησον ἐπʼ αὐτὰς λίθοις ὄχλων, καὶ κατακέντει αὐτὰς ἐν τοῖς ξίφεσιν αὐτῶν· υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοὺσι, καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἐμπρήσουσι.

48And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.Καὶ ἀποστρέψω ἀσεβείαν ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ παιδευθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσι κατὰ τὰς ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν.

49And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ δοθήσεται ἡ ἀσέβεια ὑμῶν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων ὑμῶν λήψεσθε, καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
