Jezekiel 7
1Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπόν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, Τῇ γῇ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ πέρας ἥκει, τὸ πέρας ἥκει ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας πτέρυγας τῆς γῆς.
3The end is come on you,Ἥκει τὸ πέρας
4the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.ἐπὶ σὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν· ἥκει ὁ καιρὸς, ἤγγικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, οὐ μετὰ θορύβων, οὐδὲ μετὰ ὠδίνων.
5Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.Νῦν ἐγγύθεν ἐκχεῶ τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ συντελέσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐν σοὶ, καὶ κρινῶ σε ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου, καὶ δώσω ἐπὶ σὲ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου,
6My eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike you.οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω· διότι τὰς ὁδούς σου ἐπὶ σὲ δώσω, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματά σου ἐν μέσῳ σου ἔσονται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ, διότι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ τύπτων.
7Now the end is come to you, and I will send judgment upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.Νῦν τὸ πέρας πρὸς σὲ, καὶ ἀποστελῶ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου, καὶ δώσω ἐπὶ σὲ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου,
8My eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω· διότι τὴν ὁδόν σου ἐπὶ σὲ δώσω, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματά σου ἐν μέσῳ σου ἔσται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
9For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ τὸ πέρας ἥκει.
10Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,Ἰδοὺ ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου· εἰ καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος ἤνθηκεν, ἡ ὕβρις ἐξανέστηκε,
11pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and that not with tumult, nor with haste.καὶ συντρίψει στήριγμα ἀνόμου, καὶ οὐ μετὰ θορύβου, οὐδὲ μετὰ σπουδῆς.
12The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.Ἥκει ὁ καιρὸς, ἰδοὺ ἡ ἡμέρα· ὁ κτώμενος μὴ χαιρέτω, καὶ ὁ πωλῶν μὴ θρηνείτω·
13For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye of hope to his life.Διότι ὁ κτώμενος πρὸς τὸν πωλοῦντα οὐκέτι μὴ ἐπιστρέψει, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν ὀφθαλμῷ ζωῆς αὐτοῦ οὐ κρατήσει.
14Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.Σαλπίσατε ἐν σάλπιγγι, καὶ κρίνατε τὰ σύμπαντα.
15There shall be war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.Ὁ πόλεμος ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἔξωθεν, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς καὶ ὁ θάνατος ἔσωθεν· ὁ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει, τοὺς δʼ ἐν τῇ πόλει λιμὸς καὶ θάνατος συντελέσει.
16But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all the rest, every one for his iniquities.Καὶ ἀνασωθήσονται οἱ ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐξ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσονται ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων· καὶ πάντας ἀποκτενῶ, ἔκαστον ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτοῦ.
17All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.Πᾶσαι χεῖρες ἐκλυθήσονται, καὶ πάντες μηροὶ μολυνθήσονται ὑγρασίᾳ.
18And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, even upon every face, and baldness upon every head.Καὶ περιζώσονται σάκκους, καὶ καλύψει αὐτοὺς θάμβος· καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν πρόσωπον αἰσχύνη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν φαλάκρωμα.
19Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.Τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν ῥιφήσεται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις, καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν ὑπεροφθήσεται· αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσι, καὶ αἱ κοιλίαι αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ πληρωθῶσι, διότι βάσανος τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ἐγένετο.
20As for their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.Ἐκλεκτὰ κόσμου εἰς ὑπερηφανίαν ἔθεντο αὐτὰ, καὶ εἰκόνας τῶν βδελυγμάτων αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν ἐξ αὐτῶν· ἕνεκεν τούτου δέδωκα αὐτὰ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν.
21And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.Καὶ παραδώσω αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας ἀλλοτρίων, τοῦ διαρπάσαι αὐτὰ, καὶ τοῖς λοιμοῖς τῆς γῆς εἰς σκῦλα, καὶ βεβηλώσουσιν αὐτά.
22And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ μιανοῦσι τῆν ἐπισκοπήν μου, καὶ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς αὐτὰ ἀφυλάκτως, καὶ βεβηλώσουσιν αὐτά.
23And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.Καὶ ποιήσουσι φυρμόν· διότι ἡ γῆ πλήρης λαῶν, καὶ ἡ πόλις πλήρης ἀνομίας.
24And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὸ φρύαγμα τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῶν, καὶ μιανθήσεται τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν.
25And though propitiation shall come, and one shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.Καὶ ἐξιλασμὸς ἥξει, καὶ ζητήσει εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται.
26There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.Οὐαὶ ἐπὶ οὐαὶ ἔσται· καὶ ἀγγελία ἐπὶ ἀγγελίαν ἔσται· καὶ ζητηθήσεται ὅρασις ἐκ προφήτου, καὶ νόμος ἀπολεῖται ἐξ ἱερέως, καὶ βουλὴ ἐκ πρεσβυτέρων.
27The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.Ἄρχων ἐνδύσεται ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς παραλυθήσονται· κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν ποιήσω αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κρίμασιν αὐτῶν ἐκδικήσω αὐτοὺς, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
