Jezekiel 27

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

2And you, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λάβε ἐπὶ Σὸρ θρῆνον,

3and you shall say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus says the Lord to Sor; You have said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.καὶ ἐρεῖς τῇ Σὸρ τῇ κατοικούσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς θαλάσσης, τῷ ἐμπορίῳ τῶν λαῶν, ἀπὸ νήσων πολλῶν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ Σόρ,

4In the heart of the sea your sons have put beauty upon you for Beelim.Σὺ εἶπας, ἐγὼ περιέθηκα ἐμαυτῇ κάλλος μου, ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης τῷ Βεελεὶμ υἱοί σου περιέθηκάν σοι κάλλος.

5Cedar in Senir was employed for you in building: boards of cypress timber were taken out of Libanus, and wood to make you masts of fir.Κέδρος ἐν Σενεὶρ ᾠκοδομήθη σοι, ταινίαι σανίδων κυπαρίσσου ἐκ τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐλήφθησαν, τοῦ ποιῆσαί σοι ἱστοὺς ἐλατίνους,

6They made your oars of wood out of the land of Basan; your sacred utensils they made of ivory, your shady houses of wood from the isles of Chetiim.ἐκ τῆς Βασανίτιδος ἐποίησαν τὰς κώπας σου, τὰ ἱερά σου ἐποίησαν ἐξ ἐλέφαντος, οἴκους ἀλσώδεις ἀπὸ νήσων τῶν Χετιείμ.

7Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt supplied the couch, to put honor upon you, and to clothe you with blue and purple from the isles of Elisai; and they became your coverings.Βύσσος μετὰ ποικιλίας ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐγένετό σοι στρωμνὴ, τοῦ περιθεῖναί σοι δόξαν, καὶ περιβαλεῖν σε ὑάκινθον καὶ πορφύραν ἐκ τῶν νήσων Ἐλεισαὶ, καὶ ἐγένετο περιβόλαιά σου.

8And your princes were the dwellers in Sidon, and the Aradians were your rowers: your wise men, O Sor, who were in you, these were your pilots.Καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντές σου οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιδῶνα, καὶ Ἀράδιοι ἐγένοντο κωπηλάται σου· οἱ σοφοί σου Σὸρ, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν σοὶ, οὗτοι κυβερνῆταί σου.

9The elders of the Biblians, and their wise men, who were in you, these helped your counsel: and all the ships of the sea and their rowers traded for you to the utmost west.Οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Βιβλίων, καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ αὐτῶν, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι ἐνίσχυον τὴν βουλήν σου· καὶ πάντα τὰ πλοῖα τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται αὐτῶν ἐγένοντό σοι ἐπὶ δυσμὰς δυσμῶν.

10Persians and Lydians and Libyans were in your army: your warriors hung in you shields and helmets; these gave you your glory.Πέρσαι, καὶ Λυδοὶ, καὶ Λίβυες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου, ἄνδρες πολεμισταί σου πέλτας καὶ περικεφαλαίας ἐκρέμασαν ἐν σοί, οὗτοι ἔδωκαν τὴν δόξαν σου.

11The sons of the Aradians and your army were upon the walls; there were guards in your towers: they hung their quivers on your battlements round about; these completed your beauty.Υἱοὶ Ἀραδίων καὶ ἡ δύναμίς σου ἐπὶ τῶν τειχέων σου· φύλακες ἐν τοῖς πύργοις σου ἦσαν, τὰς φαρέτρας αὐτῶν ἐκρέμασαν ἐπὶ τῶν ὅρμων σου κύκλῳ, οὗτοι ἐτελείωσάν σου τὸ κάλλος.

12The Carthaginians were your merchants because of the abundance of all your strength; they furnished your market with silver, and gold, and iron, and tin, and lead.Καρχηδόνιοι ἔμποροί σου ἀπὸ πλήθους πάσης ἰσχύος σου, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σίδηρον καὶ κασσίτερον καὶ μόλιβον ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

13Greece, both the whole world, and the adjacent coasts, these traded with you in the persons of men, and they gave as your merchandise vessels of brass.Ἡ Ἑλλὰς, καὶ ἡ σύμπασα, καὶ τὰ παρατείνοντα, οὗτοι ἐνεπορεύοντό σοι ἐν ψυχαῖς ἀνθρώπων, καὶ σκεύη χαλκᾶ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου.

14Out of the house of Thogarma horses and horsemen furnished the market.Ἐξ οἴκου Θογαρμὰ ἵπποι καὶ ἱππεῖς ἔδωκαν ἀγοράν σου.

15The sons of the Rhodians were your merchants; from the islands they multiplied your merchandise, even elephants' teeth: and to them that came in you did return your prices,Υἱοὶ Ῥοδίων ἔμποροί σου, ἀπὸ νήσων ἐπλήθυναν τὴν ἐμπορίαν σου ὀδόντας ἐλεφαντίνους, καὶ τοῖς εἰσαγομένοις ἀντεδίδους τοὺς μισθούς σου,

16even men as your merchandise, from the multitude of your trading population, myrrh and embroidered works from Tharsis: Ramoth also and Chorchor furnished your market.ἀνθρώπους ἐμπορίαν σου ἀπὸ πλήθους τοῦ συμμίκτου σου, στακτὴν καὶ ποικίλματα ἐκ Θαρσὶς, καὶ Ῥαμὸθ, καὶ Χορχὸρ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

17Juda and the children of Israel, these were your merchants; in the sale of corn and ointments and cassia: and they gave the best honey, and oil, and resin, to your trading population.Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου, ἐν πράσει σίτου καὶ μύρων καὶ κασίας, καὶ πρῶτον μέλι καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ ῥητίνην ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸν σύμμικτόν σου.

18The people of Damascus were your merchants by reason of the abundance of all your power; wine out of Chelbon, and wool from Miletus; and they brought wine into your market.Δαμασκὸς ἔμποροί σου, ἐκ πλήθους πάσης δυνάμεώς σου· οἶνος ἐκ Χελβὼν, καὶ ἔρια ἐκ Μιλήτου, καὶ οἶνον εἰς τὴν ἀγοράν σου ἔδωκαν.

19Out of Asel came wrought iron, and there is the sound of wheels among your trading population.Ἐξ Ἀσὴλ σίδηρος εἰργασμένος, καὶ τροχιὰς ἐν τῷ συμμίκτῳ σου ἐστί.

20The people of Daedan were your merchants, with choice cattle for chariots.Δαιδὰν ἔμποροί σου, μετὰ κτηνῶν ἐκλεκτῶν εἰς ἅρματα.

21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, these were your traders with you, bringing camels, and lambs, and rams, in which they trade with you.Ἡ Ἀραβία καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Κηδὰρ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου διὰ χειρός σου, καμήλους καὶ ἀμνοὺς καὶ κριοὺς ἐν οἷς ἐμπορεύονταί σε.

22The merchants of Sabba and Ramma, these were your merchants, with choice spices, and precious stones: and they brought gold to your market.Ἔμποροι Σαββὰ, καὶ Ῥαμμὰ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου, μετὰ πρώτων ἡδυσμάτων, καὶ λίθων χρηστῶν, καὶ χρυσὸν ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀγοράν σου.

23Charra, and Chanaa, these were your merchants: Assur, and Charman, were your merchants:Χαῤῥὰ, καὶ Χαναὰ, οὗτοι ἔμποροί σου·

24bringing for merchandise blue, and choice stores bound with cords, and cypress wood.Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ Χαρμὰν ἔμποροί σου, φέροντες ἐμπορίαν ὑάκινθον, καὶ θησαυροὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς δεδεμένους σχοίνίοις, καὶ κυπαρίσσινα.

25Ships were your merchants, in abundance, with your trading population: and you were filled and very heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.Πλοῖα ἔμποροί σου, ἐν τῷ πλήθει, ἐν τῷ συμμίκτῳ σου· καὶ ἐνεπλήσθης καὶ ἐβαρύνθης σφόδρα ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης.

26Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the south wind has broken you in the heart of the sea.Ἐν ὕδατι πολλῷ ἦγόν σε οἱ κωπηλάται σου, τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ Νότου συνέτριψέ σε ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης.

27Your forces, and your gain, and that of your traders, and your rowers, and your pilots, and your counselors, and they that traffic with you, and all your warriors that are in you: and all your company in the midst of you shall perish in the heart of the sea, in the day of your fall.Ἦσαν δυνάμεις σου, καὶ ὁ μισθός σου, καὶ τῶν συμμίκτων σου, καὶ οἱ κωπηλάται σου, καὶ οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου, καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοί σου, καὶ οἱ σύμμικτοί σου ἐκ τῶν συμμίκτων σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί σου οἱ ἐν σοί· καὶ πᾶσα συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου πεσοῦνται ἐν καρδίᾳ θαλάσσης, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς πτώσεώς σου.

28At the cry of your voice your pilots shall be greatly terrified.Πρὸς τὴν κραυγὴν τῆς φωνῆς σου οἱ κυβερνῆταί σου φόβῳ φοβηθήσονται.

29And all the rowers and the mariners shall come down from the ships, and the pilots of the sea shall stand on the land.Καὶ καταβήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν πλοίων πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται, καὶ οἱ ἐπιβάται, καὶ οἱ πρωρεῖς τῆς θαλάσσης ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν στήσονται.

30And they shall wail over you with their voice, and cry bitterly, and put earth on their heads, and spread ashes under them.Καὶ ἀλαλάξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ τῇ φωνῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ κεκράξονται πικρὸν, καὶ ἐπιθήσουσι γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ σποδὸν στρώσονται.

32And their sons shall take up a lament for you, even a lamentation for Sor, saying,Καὶ λήψονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ σὲ θρῆνον, θρήνημα Σόρ·

33How large a reward have you gained from the sea? you have filled nations out of your abundance; and out of your mixed merchandise you have enriched all the kings of the earth.Πόσον τινὰ εὗρες μισθὸν ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης; Ἐνέπλησας ἔθνη ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ συμμίκτου σου ἐπλούτησας πάντας βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς.

34Now are you broken in the sea, your traders are in the deep water, and all your company in the midst of you: all your rowers have fallen.Νῦν συνετρίβης ἐν θαλάσσῃ, ἐν βάθει ὕδατος ὁ σύμμικτός σου, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἐν μέσῳ σου· ἔπεσον πάντες οἱ κωπηλάται σου.

35All the dwellers in the islands have mourned over you, and their kings have been utterly amazed, and their countenance has wept.Πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς νήσους ἐστύγνασαν ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἐκστάσει ἐξέστησαν, καὶ ἐδάκρυσε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

36Merchants from the nations have hissed at you; you are utterly destroyed, and shall not be any more for ever.Ἔμποροι ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἐσύρισάν σε, ἀπώλεια ἐγένου, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
