Jezekiel 26
1And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2Son of man, because Sor has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is crushed: the nations are destroyed: she is turned to me: she that was full is made desolate:Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἀνθʼ οὗ εἶπε Σὸρ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, εὖγε συνετρίβη, ἀπόλωλε τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπεστράφη πρὸς μὲ, ἡ πλήρης ἠρήμωται·
3therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea comes up with its waves.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ Σὸρ, καὶ ἀνάξω ἐπὶ σὲ ἔθνη πολλὰ, ὡς ἀναβαίνει ἡ θάλασσα τοῖς κύμασιν αὐτῆς.
4And they shall cast down the walls of Sor, and shall cast down your towers: and I will scrape her dust from off her, and make her a bare rock.Καὶ καταβαλοῦσι τὰ τείχη Σὸρ, καὶ καταβαλοῦσι τοὺς πύργους σου, καὶ λικμήσω τὸν χοῦν αὐτῆς ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν εἰς λεωπετρίαν·
5She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for repairing nets: for I have spoken it, says the Lord: and it shall be a spoil for the nations.Ψυγμὸς σαγηνῶν ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ θαλάσσης, ὅτι ἐγὼ λελάληκα, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἔσται εἰς προνομὴν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
6And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain with the sword, and they shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς ἐν πεδίῳ μαχαίρᾳ ἀναιρεθήσονται, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
7For thus says the Lord; Behold, I will bring up against you, O Sor, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon from the north: he is a king of kings, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and a concourse of very many nations.Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ Σόρ τὸν Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος ἀπὸ τοῦ Βοῤῥᾶ, βασιλεὺς βασιλέων ἐστὶ, μεθʼ ἵππων καὶ ἁρμάτων καὶ ἱππέων καὶ συναγωγῆς ἐθνῶν πολλῶν σφόδρα.
8He shall kill your daughters that are in the field with the sword, and shall set a watch against you, and build forts around you, and carry a rampart round against you, and set up warlike works, and array his spears against you.Οὗτος τὰς θυγατέρας σου τὰς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ μαχαίρᾳ ἀνελεῖ, καὶ δώσει ἐπὶ σὲ προφυλακὴν, καὶ περιοικοδομήσει, καὶ ποιήσει ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ χάρακα, καὶ περίστασιν ὅπλων, καὶ τὰς λόγχας αὐτοῦ ἀπέναντί σου δώσει·
9He shall cast down with his swords your walls and your towers.Τὰ τείχη σου, καὶ τοὺς πύργους σου καταβαλεῖ ἐν ταῖς μαχαίραις αὐτοῦ.
10By reason of your multitude of his horses their dust shall cover you, and by reason of the sound of his horsemen and the wheels of his chariots the walls shall be shaken, when he enters into your gates, as one entering into a city from the plain.Ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ἵππων αὐτοῦ κατακαλύψει σε ὁ κονιορτὸς αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἱππέων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν τροχῶν τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ σεισθήσεται τὰ τείχη σου, εἰσπορευομένου αὐτοῦ τὰς πύλας σου, ὡς εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς πόλιν ἐκ πεδίου.
11With the hoofs of his horses they shall trample all your streets: he shall kill your people with the sword, and shall bring down to the ground the support of your strength.Ἐν ταῖς ὁπλαῖς τῶν ἵππων αὐτοῦ καταπατήσουσί σου πάσας τὰς πλατείας· τὸν λαόν σου μαχαίρᾳ ἀνελεῖ, καὶ τὴν ὑπόστασιν τῆς ἰσχύος σου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν κατάξει.
12And he shall prey upon your power, and plunder your substance, and shall cast down your walls, and break down your pleasant houses: and he shall cast your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of your sea.Καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν δύναμίν σου, καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ ὑπάρχοντά σου, καὶ καταβαλεῖ τὰ τείχη σου, καὶ τοὺς οἴκους σου τοὺς ἐπιθυμητοὺς καθελεῖ· καὶ τοὺς λίθους σου, καὶ τὰ ξύλα σου, καὶ τὸν χοῦν σου εἰς μέσον τῆς θαλάσσης σου ἐμβαλεῖ.
13And he shall destroy the multitude of your musicians, and the sound of your lutes shall be heard no more.Καὶ καταλύσει τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μουσικῶν σου, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ τῶν ψαλτηρίων σου οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἔτι.
14And I will make you a bare rock: you shall be a place to spread nets upon; you shall be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, says the Lord.Καὶ δώσω σε λεωπετρίαν, ψυγμὸς σαγηνῶν ἔσῃ, οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομηθῇς ἔτι, ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα, λέγει Κύριος.
15For thus says the Lord God to Sor; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, while the wounded are groaning, while they have drawn a sword in the midst of you?Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος τῇ Σὸρ, οὐκ ἀπὸ φωνῆς τῆς πτώσεώς σου, ἐν τῷ στενάξαι τραυματίας, ἐν τῷ σπᾶσαι μάχαιραν ἐν μέσῳ σου, σεισθήσονται αἱ νῆσαι;
16And all the princes of the nations of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and shall take off their crowns from their heads, and shall take off their embroidered raiment: they shall be utterly amazed; they shall sit upon the ground, and fear their own destruction, and shall groan over you.Καὶ καταβήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν θρόνων αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀφελοῦνται τὰς μίτρας ἀπὸ τῶν κεφαλῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν τὸν ποικίλον αὐτῶν ἐκδύσονται· ἐκστάσει ἐκστήσονται, ἐπὶ γῆν καθεδοῦνται, καὶ φοβηθήσονται τὴν ἀπώλειαν αὐτῶν, καὶ στενάξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ,
17And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and shall say to you, How are you destroyed from out of the sea, the renowned city, that brought her terror upon all her inhabitants.καὶ λήψονται ἐπὶ σὲ θρῆνον, καὶ ἐροῦσί σοι, πῶς κατελύθης ἐκ θαλάσσης ἡ πόλις ἡ ἐπαινετὴ, ἡ δοῦσα τὸν φόβον αὐτῆς πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν;
18And the isles shall be alarmed at the day of your fall.Καὶ φοβηθήσονται αἱ νῆσοι ἀπὸ ἡμέρας πτώσεώς σου.
19For thus says the Lord God; When I shall make the city desolate, as the cities that shall not be inhabited, when I have brought the deep up upon you,Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ὅταν δῶ πόλιν ἠρημωμένην ὡς τὰς πόλεις τὰς μὴ κατοικισθησομένας, ἐν τῷ ἀναγαγεῖν με ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν ἄβυσσον, καὶ κατακαλύψει σε ὕδωρ πολὺ,
20and great waters shall cover you; and I shall bring you down to them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause you to dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them that go down to the pit, that you may not be inhabited, nor stand upon the land of life;καὶ καταβιβάσω σε πρὸς τοὺς καταβαίνοντας εἰς βόθρον πρὸς λαὸν αἰῶνος, καὶ κατοικιῶ σε εἰς βάθη τῆς γῆς ὡς ἔρημον αἰώνιον μετὰ καταβαινόντων εἰς βόθρον, ὅπως μὴ κατοικηθῇς, μηδὲ ἀναστῇς ἐπὶ γῆς ζωῆς,
21I will make you a destruction, and you shall be no more for ever, says the Lord God.ἀπώλειάν σε δώσω, καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρξεις ἔτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
