Jezekiel 6
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπʼ αὐτὰ,
3and you shall say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.καὶ ἐρεῖς, Τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς καὶ ταῖς φάραγξι καὶ ταῖς νάπαις, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ῥομφαίαν, καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται τὰ ὑψηλὰ ὑμῶν.
4And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.Καὶ συντριβήσονται τὰ θυσιαστήρια ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ τεμένη ὑμῶν, καὶ καταβαλῶ τραυματίας ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν,
5And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,καὶ διασκορπιῶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑμῶν κύκλῳ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων ὑμῶν,
6and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ κατοικίᾳ ὑμῶν· αἱ πόλεις ἐξερημωθήσονται, καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀφανισθήσεται, ὅπως ἐξολοθρευθῇ τὰ θυσιαστήρια ὑμῶν, καὶ συντριβήσονται τὰ εἴδωλα ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξαρθῇ τὰ τεμένη ὑμῶν·
7And slain men shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ πεσοῦνται τραυματίαι ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
8When there are some of you escaping from the sword among the Gentiles, and when you are scattered in the countries;Ἐν τῷ γενέσθαι ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀνασωζομένους ἐκ ῥομφαίας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἐν τῷ διασκορπισμῷ ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς χώραις,
9then they of you that escape among the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn an oath against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices;) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.καὶ μνησθήσονταί μου οἱ ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν ἐκεῖ· ὀμώμοκα τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν τῇ ἐκπορνευούσῃ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν τοῖς ἐκπορνεύουσιν ὀπίσω τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν· καὶ κόψονται πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς βδελύγμασιν αὐτῶν·
10And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.Καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
11Thus says the Lord; Clap with your hand, and stamp with your foot and say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κρότησον τῇ χειρὶ καὶ ψόφησον τῷ ποδὶ, καὶ εἰπὸν, εὖγε εὖγε, ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς βδελύγμασιν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ· ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἑν θανάτῳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ πεσοῦνται.
12He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish my anger upon them.Ὁ ἐγγὺς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ μακρὰν ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσει· καὶ ὁ περιεχόμενος ἐν λιμῷ συντελεσθήσεται· καὶ συντελέσω τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
13Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under every shady tree, where they offered a sweet savor to all their idols.Καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος, ἐν τῷ εἶναι τοὺς τραυματίας ὑμῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν κύκλῳ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων ὑμῶν· ἐπὶ πάντα βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ὑποκάτω δένδρου συσκίου, οὗ ἔδωκαν ἐκεῖ ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας πᾶσι τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν.
14And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: and you shall know that I am the Lord.Καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ θήσομαι τὴν γῆν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς ὄλεθρον ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου Δεβλαθὰ ἐκ πάσης τῆς κατοικεσίας αὐτῶν· ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
