Jezekiel 35
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐπίστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπʼ ὄρος Σηεὶρ, καὶ προφήτευσον εἰς αὐτὸ,
3and say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ ὄρος Σηεὶρ, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ δώσω σε εἰς ἔρημον, καὶ ἐρημωθήσῃ,
4And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.καὶ ταῖς πόλεσί σου ἐρημίαν ποιήσω, καὶ σὺ ἔρημος ἔσῃ, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
5Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:Ἀντὶ τοῦ γενέσθαι σε ἐχθρὰν αἰωνίαν, καὶ ἐνεκάθισας τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ δόλῳ, ἐν χειρὶ ἐχθρῶν μαχαίρᾳ ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας, ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων.
6Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.Διατοῦτο ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, εἰ μὴν εἰς αἷμα ἥμαρτες, καὶ αἷμα διώξεταί σε.
7And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:Καὶ δώσω ὄρος Σηεὶρ εἰς ἔρημον, καὶ ἠρημωμένον, καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἀνθρώπους καὶ κτήνη,
8and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.καὶ ἐμπλήσω τῶν τραυματιῶν βουνούς σου καὶ τὰς φάραγγάς σου, καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς πεδίοις σου τετραυματισμένοι μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν σοί.
9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.Ἐρημίαν αἰώνιον θήσομαί σε, καὶ αἱ πόλεις σου οὐ μὴ κατοικηθῶσιν ἔτι, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
10Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:Διὰ τὸ εἰπεῖν σε, τὰ δύο ἔθνη, καὶ αἱ δύο χῶραι ἐμαὶ ἔσονται, καὶ κληρονομήσω αὐτὰς, καὶ Κύριος ἐκεῖ ἐστι·
11therefore, as I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:Διατοῦτο ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποιήσω σοι κατὰ τὴν ἔχθραν σου, καὶ γνωσθήσομαί σοι ἡνίκα ἂν κρινῶ σε,
12and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος· ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς τῶν βλασφημιῶν σου, ὅτι εἶπας, τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ ἔρημα ἡμῖν δέδοται εἰς κατάβρωμα,
13and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard them.καὶ ἐμεγαλοῤῥημόνησας ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τῷ στόματί σου, ἐγὼ ἤκουσα.
14Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐν τῇ εὐφροσύνῃ πάσης τῆς γῆς ἔρημον ποιήσω σε.
15You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.Ἔρημον ἔσῃ ὄρος Σηεὶρ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰδουμαία, καὶ ἐξαναλωθήσεται, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν.
