Jezekiel 32

1And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνὶ, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

2Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao king of Egypt, and say to him, You are become like a lion of the nations, and as a serpent that is in the sea: and you did make assaults with your rivers, and did disturb the water with your feet, and did trample your rivers.υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ, Λέοντι ἐθνῶν ὡμοιώθης σὺ, καὶ ὡς δράκων ὁ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ἐκεράτιζες τοῖς ποταμοῖς σου, καὶ ἐτάρασσες ὕδωρ τοῖς ποσί σου, καὶ κατεπάτεις τοὺς ποταμούς σου.

3Thus says the Lord; I will also cast over you the nets of many nations, and will bring you up with my hook:Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καὶ περιβαλῶ ἐπὶ σὲ δίκτυα λαῶν πολλῶν, καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐν τῷ ἀγκίστρῳ μου,

4and I will stretch you upon the earth: the fields shall be covered with you, and I will cause all the birds of the sky to settle upon you, and I will fill with you all the wild beasts of the earth.καὶ ἐκτενῶ σε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· πεδία πλησθήσεται, καὶ ἐπικαθιῶ ἐπὶ σὲ πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμπλήσω πάντα τὰ θηρία πάσης τῆς γῆς.

5And I will cast your flesh upon the mountains, and will saturate them with your blood.Καὶ δώσω τὰς σάρκας σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἐμπλήσω ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματός σου.

6And the land shall be drenched with your dung, because of your multitude upon the mountains: I will fill the valleys with you.Καὶ ποτισθήσεται ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ τῶν προχωρημάτων σου, ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους σου ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων· φάραγγας ἐμπλήσω ἀπὸ σοῦ,

7And I will veil the heavens when you are extinguished, and will darken the stars thereof; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.καὶ κατακαλύψω ἐν τῷ σβεσθῆναί σε οὐρανὸν, καὶ συσκοτάσω τὰ ἄστρα αὐτοῦ, ἥλιον ἐν νεφέλῃ καλύψω, καὶ σελήνη οὐ μὴ φάνῃ τὸ φῶς αὐτῆς.

8All the bodies that give light in the sky, shall be darkened over you, and I will bring darkness upon the earth, says the Lord God.Πάντα τὰ φαίνοντα φῶς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, συσκοτάσουσιν ἐπὶ σέ· καὶ δώσω σκότος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.

9And I will provoke to anger the heart of many people, when I shall lead you captive among the nations, to a land which you have not known.Καὶ παροργιῶ καρδίαν λαῶν πολλῶν, ἡνίκα ἂν ἄγω αἰχμαλωσίαν σου εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ ἔγνως.

10And many nations shall mourn over you, and their kings shall be utterly amazed, when my sword flies in their faces, as they wait for their own fall from the day of your fall.Καὶ στυγνάσουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ἔθνη πολλὰ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἐκστάσει ἐκστήσονται, ἐν τῷ πετᾶσθαι τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν, προσδεχόμενοι τὴν πτῶσιν αὐτῶν ἀφʼ ἡμέρας πτώσεώς σου.

11For thus says the Lord God; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you,Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ῥομφαία βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἥξει σοι

12with the swords of mighty men; and I will cast down your strength: they are all destroying ones from the nations, and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all her strength shall be crushed.ἐν μαχαίραις γιγάντων, καὶ καταβαλῶ τὴν ἰσχύν σου, λοιμοὶ ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πάντες, καὶ ἀπολοῦσι τὴν ὕβριν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ συντριβήσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς.

13And I will destroy all her cattle from beside the great water; and the foot of man shall not trouble it any more, and the step of cattle shall no more trample it.Καὶ ἀπολῶ πάντα τὰ κτήνη αὐτῆς ἀφʼ ὕδατος πολλοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ταράξῃ αὐτὸ πούς ἀνθρώπου ἔτι, καὶ ἴχνος κτηνῶν οὐ μὴ καταπατήσῃ αὐτό.

14Thus shall their waters then be at rest, and their rivers shall flow like oil, says the Lord,Οὕτως τότε ἡσυχάσει τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ποταμοὶ αὐτῶν ὡς ἔλαιον πορεύσονται, λέγει Κύριος,

15when I shall give up Egypt to destruction, and the land shall be made desolate with the fullness thereof; when I shall scatter all that dwell in it, and they shall know that I am the Lord.ὅταν δῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ ἐρημωθῇ ἡ γῆ σὺν· τῇ πληρώσει αὐτῆς, ὅταν διασπερῶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.

16There is a lamentation, and you shall utter it; and the daughters of the nations shall utter it, even for Egypt, and they shall mourn for it over all the strength thereof, says the Lord God.Θρῆνός ἐστι, καὶ θρηνήσεις αὐτὸν, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν ἐθνῶν θρηνήσουσιν αὐτὸν, ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς θρηνήσουσιν αὐτὴν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.

17And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ πρώτου μηνὸς, πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

18Son of man, lament over the strength of Egypt, for the nations shall bring down her daughters dead to the depth of the earth, to them that go down to the pit.Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, θρήνησον ἐπὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ καταβιβάσουσιν αὐτῆς τὰς θυγατέρας τὰ ἔθνη νεκρὰς εἰς τὸ βάθος τῆς γῆς, πρὸς τοὺς καταβαίνοντας εἰς βόθρον·

20They shall fall with him in the midst of them that are slain with the sword, and all his strength shall perish: the giants also shall say to you,Ἐν μέσῳ μαχαίρας τραυματιῶν πεσοῦνται μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κοιμηθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ·

21Be you in the depth of the pit: to whom are you superior? yes, go down, and lie with the uncircumcised, in the midst of them that are slain with the sword.καὶ ἐροῦσί σοι οἱ γίγαντες, ἐν βάθει βόθρου γίνου, τίνος κρείττων εἶ; καὶ κατάβηθι, καὶ κοιμήθητι μετὰ ἀπεριτμήτων, ἐν μέσῳ τραυματιῶν μαχαίρας.

22There are Assur and all his company: all his slain have been laid there:Ἐκεῖ Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ αὐτοῦ, πάντες τραυματίαι ἐκεῖ ἐδόθησαν, καὶ ἡ ταφὴ αὐτῶν ἐν βάθει βόθρου, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ συναγωγὴ αὐτοῦ περικύκλῳ τοῦ μνήματος αὐτοῦ, πάντες οἱ τραυματίαι οἱ πεπτωκότες μαχαίρᾳ,

23and their burial is in the depth of the pit, and his company are set around about his tomb: all the slain that fell by the sword, who had caused the fear of them to be upon the land of the living.οἱ δόντες τὸν φόβον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς ζωῆς.

24There is Aelam and all his host round about his tomb: all the slain that fell by the sword, and the uncircumcised that go down to the deep of the earth, who caused their fear to be upon the land of the living: and they have received their punishment with them that go down to the pit,Ἐκεῖ Αἰλὰμ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ περικύκλῳ τοῦ μνήματος αὐτοῦ, πάντες οἱ τραυματίαι οἱ πεπτωκότες μαχαίρᾳ, καὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες ἀπερίτμητοι εἰς γῆς βάθος, οἱ δεδωκότες αὐτῶν φόβον ἐπὶ γῆς ζωῆς· καὶ ἐλάβοσαν τὴν βάσανον αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς βόθρον,

25in the midst of the slain.ἐν μέσῳ τραυματιῶν.

26There were laid Mosoch, and Thobel, and all his strength round about his tomb: all his slain men, all the uncircumcised, slain with the sword, who caused their fear to be in the land of the living.Ἐκεῖ ἐδόθησαν Μοσὸχ καὶ Θοβὲλ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ περικύκλῳ τοῦ μνήματος αὐτοῦ, πάντες τραυματίαι αὐτοῦ, πάντες ἀπερίτμητοι τραυματίαι ἀπὸ μαχαίρας, οἱ δεδωκότες τὸν φόβον αὐτῶν ἐπὶ γῆς ζωῆς.

27And they are laid with the giants that fell of old, who went down to Hades with their weapons of war: and they laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities were upon their bones, because they terrified all men during their life.Καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν μετὰ τῶν γιγάντων τῶν πεπτωκότων ἀπʼ αἰῶνος, οἳ κατέβησαν εἰς ᾅδου ἐν ὅπλοις πολεμικοῖς, καὶ ἔθηκαν τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ὑπὸ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αἱ ἀνομῖαι αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐξεφόβησαν πάντας ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν.

28And you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that have been slain by the sword.Καὶ σὺ ἐν μέσῳ ἀπεριτμήτων κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ τετραυματισμένων μαχαίρᾳ.

29There are laid the princes of Assur, who yielded their strength to a wound of the sword: these are laid with the slain, with them that go down to the pit.Ἐκεῖ ἐδόθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἀσσοὺρ, οἱ δόντες τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ εἰς τραῦμα μαχαίρας· οὗτοι μετὰ τραυματιῶν ἐκοιμήθησαν, μετὰ καταβαινόντων εἰς βόθρον.

30There are the princes of the north, even all the captains of Assur, who go down slain to Hades: they lie uncircumcised among the slain with the sword together with their terror and their strength, and they have received their punishment with them that go down to the pit.Ἐκεῖ οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῦ Βοῤῥᾶ πάντες στρατηγοὶ Ἀσσοὺρ, οἱ καταβαίνοντες τραυματίαι, σὺν τῷ φόβῳ αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτῶν ἐκοιμήθησαν ἀπερίτμητοι μετὰ τραυματιῶν μαχαίρας, καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν τὴν βάσανον αὐτῶν μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς βόθρον.

31King Pharao shall see them, and shall be comforted over all their force, says the Lord God.Ἐκείνους ὄψεται βασιλεὺς Φαραὼ, καὶ παρακληθήσεται ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῶν, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.

32For I have caused his fear to be upon the land of the living yet he shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharao, and all his multitude with him, says the Lord God.Ὅτι δέδωκα τὸν φόβον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γῆς ζωῆς, καὶ κοιμηθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ ἀπεριτμήτων μετὰ τραυματιῶν μαχαίρας Φαραὼ, καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
