Jezekiel 5
1And you, son of man, take you a sword sharper than a barber's razor; you shall procure it for yourself, and shall bring it upon your head, and upon your beard: and you shall take a pair of scales, and shall separate the hair.Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε σεαυτῷ ῥομφαίαν ὀξεῖαν ὑπὲρ ξυρὸν κουρέως, κτήσῃ αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ, καὶ ἐπάξεις αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν πώγωνά σου· καὶ λήψῃ ζυγὸν σταθμίων, καὶ διαστήσεις αὐτούς.
2A fourth part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfillment of the days of the siege: and you shall take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part you shall cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.Τὸ τέταρτον ἐν πυρὶ ἀνακαύσεις ἐν μέσῃ τῇ πόλει κατὰ τὴν πλήρωσιν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ· καὶ λήψῃ τὸ τέταρτον, καὶ κατακαύσεις αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· καὶ τὸ τέταρτον κατακόψεις ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς· καὶ τὸ τέταρτον διασκορπιεῖς τῷ πνεύματι· καὶ μάχαιραν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
3And you shall take thence a few in number, and shall wrap them in the fold of your garment.Καὶ λήψῃ ἐκεῖθεν ὀλίγους ἐν ἀριθμῷ, καὶ συμπεριλήψῃ αὐτοὺς τῇ ἀναβολῇ σου.
4And you shall take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and you shall say to the whole house of Israel,Καὶ ἐκ τούτων λήψῃ ἔτι, καὶ ῥίψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς μέσον τοῦ πυρὸς, καὶ κατακαύσεις αὐτοὺς ἐν πυρί· ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται πῦρ· καὶ ἐρεῖς παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ,
5Thus says the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, αὕτη ἡ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικα αὐτὴν, καὶ τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῆς χώρας.
6And you shall declare my ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes to the sinful one of the countries round about her: because they have rejected my ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.Καὶ ἐρεῖς τὰ δικαιώματά μου τῇ ἀνόμῳ ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ τὰ νόμιμά μου τῶν χωρῶν τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς· διότι τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο, καὶ ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
7Therefore thus says the Lord, Because your occasion for sin has been taken from the nations round about you, and you have not walked in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances, nay, you have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus says the Lord;Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἡ ἀφορμὴ ὑμῶν ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθητε, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐποιήσατε, ἀλλʼ οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν οὐ πεποιήκατε,
8Behold, I am against you, and I will execute judgment in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ποιήσω ἐν μέσῳ σου κρίμα ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν.
9And I will do in you things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all your abominations.Καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ ἃ οὐ πεποίηκα, καὶ ἃ οὐ ποιήσω ὅμοια αὐτοῖς ἔτι κατὰ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου.
10Therefore the fathers shall eat their children in the midst of you, and children shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and I will scatter all that are left of you to every wind.Διατοῦτο πατέρες φάγονται τέκνα ἐν μέσῳ σου, καὶ τέκνα φάγονται πατέρας· καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ κρίματα, καὶ διασκορπιῶ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους σου εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον.
11Therefore, as I live, says the Lord; surely, because you have defiled my holy things with all your abominations, I also will reject you; my eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.Διατοῦτο, ζῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, ἦ μὴν ἀνθʼ ὧν τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐμίανας ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς βδελύγμασί σου, κᾀγὼ ἀπώσομαί σε, οὐ φείσεταί μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς, κᾀγὼ οὐκ ἐλεήσω.
12A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine: and as for another fourth part of you, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of you shall fall by sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.Τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν θανάτῳ ἀναλωθήσεται, καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν λιμῷ συντελεσθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ σου, καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον σκορπιῶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ τὸ τέταρτόν σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται κύκλῳ σου, καὶ μάχαιραν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
13And my wrath and my anger shall be accomplished upon them: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished my anger upon them.Καὶ συντελεσθήσεται ὁ θυμός μου, καὶ ἡ ὀργή μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ, διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα ἐν ζήλῳ μου, ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι με τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
14And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of every one that passes through.Καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς ἔρημον, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας σου κύκλῳ σου ἐνώπιον παντὸς διοδεύοντος.
15And you shall be mourned over and miserable among the nations round about you, when I have executed judgments in you in the vengeance of my wrath. I the Lord have spoken.Καὶ ἔσῃ στενακτὴ καὶ δηλαϊστὴ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τοῖς κύκλῳ σου, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με ἐν σοὶ κρίματα ἐν ἐκδικήσει θυμοῦ μου· ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
16And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of your bread.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποστεῖλαί με βολίδας τοῦ λιμοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ἔκλειψιν, καὶ συντρίψω στήριγμα ἄρτου σου.
17So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I the Lord have spoken.Καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐπὶ σὲ λιμὸν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ, καὶ τιμωρήσομαί σε, καὶ θάνατος καὶ αἷμα διελεύσονται ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν· ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
