Jezekiel 30
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe worth the day!υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον, καὶ εἰπὸν τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ὢ ὢ ἡμέρα,
3For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου, ἡμέρα πέρας ἐθνῶν ἔσται·
4And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt men shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.Καὶ ἥξει μάχαιρα ἐπʼ Αἰγυπτίους, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν γῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ, καὶ συμπεσοῦνται τετραυματισμένοι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ συμπεσεῖται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς.
5Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.Πέρσαι, καὶ Κρῆτες, καὶ Λυδοὶ, καὶ Λίβυες, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐπίμικτοι καὶ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς διαθήκης μου, μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ.
6And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.Καὶ πεσοῦνται τὰ ἀντιστηρίγματα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ καταβήσεται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς ἀπὸ Μαγδωλοῦ ἕως Συήνης, μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει Κύριος.
7And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be desolate in the midst of desolate cities:Καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ χωρῶν ἐρημωμένων, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται,
8and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and when all that help her shall be broken.καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ὅταν δῶ πῦρ ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ συντριβῶσι πάντες οἱ βοηθοῦντες αὐτῇ.
9In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξελεύσονται ἄγγελοι σπεύδοντες ἀφανίσαι τὴν Αἰθιοπίαν, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἥκει.
10Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ ἀπολῶ πλῆθος Αἰγυπτίων διὰ χειρὸς Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος,
11his hand and his people's; they are plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, λοιμοὶ ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπολέσαι γῆν· καὶ ἐκκενώσουσι πάντες τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ γῆ τραυματιῶν,
12And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.καὶ δώσω τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐρήμους, καὶ ἀπολῶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἐν χερσὶν ἀλλοτρίων, ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
13For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ ἀπολῶ μεγιστᾶνας ἀπὸ Μέμφεως, καὶ ἄρχοντας Μέμφεως ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται ἔτι.
14And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.Καὶ ἀπολῶ γῆν Φαθωρῆς, καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπὶ Τάνιν, καὶ ποιήσω ἐκδίκησιν ἐν Διοσπόλει.
15And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.Καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ Σαὶν τὴν ἰσχὺν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸ πλῆθος Μέμφεως,
16And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ταραχῇ ταραχθήσεται ἡ Συήνη, καὶ ἐν Διοσπόλει ἔσται ἔκρηγμα, καὶ διαχυθήσεται ὕδατα.
17The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.Νεανίσκοι Ἡλιουπόλεως καὶ Βουβάστου ἐν μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
18And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.καὶ ἐν Τάφναις συσκοτάσει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν τῷ συντρίψαι με ἐκεῖ τὰ σκῆπτρα Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἐκεῖ ἡ ὕβρις ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, καὶ ταύτην νεφέλη καλύψει, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς αἰχμάλωτοι ἀρθήσονται.
19And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ ποιήσω κρίμα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰμι Κύριος.
20And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ, ἑβδόμῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
21Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, or to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τοὺς βραχίονας Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου συνέτριψα, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ κατεδεήθη τοῦ δοθῆναι ἴασιν, τοῦ δοθῆναι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν μάλαγμα, τοῦ δοθῆναι ἰσχὺν ἐπιλαβέσθαι μαχαίρας.
22Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ συντρίψω τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἰσχυροὺς, καὶ τοὺς τεταμένους, καὶ καταβαλῶ τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ,
23And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας.
24And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.Καὶ κατισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ δώσω τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάξει αὐτὴν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς, καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς.
25Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.Καὶ ἐνισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, οἱ δὲ βραχίονες Φαραὼ πεσοῦνται· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ δοῦναι τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκτενεῖ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
26And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
