| 1 Και ηλθον προς εμε τινες εκ των πρεσβυτερων του Ισραηλ και εκαθησαν εμπροσθεν μου. | 1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me; and sat before me. |
| 2 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων, | 2 And the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 3 Υιε ανθρωπου, οι ανδρες ουτοι ανεβιβασαν τα ειδωλα αυτων εις τας καρδιας αυτων και εθεσαν το προσκομμα της ανομιας αυτων εμπροσθεν του προσωπου αυτων? ηθελον εκζητηθη τωοντι παρ' αυτων; | 3 "Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and set the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces; should I let myself be inquired of at all by them? |
| 4 Δια τουτο λαλησον προς αυτους και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? εις παντα ανθρωπον εκ του οικου Ισραηλ, οστις αναβιβαση τα ειδωλα αυτου εις την καρδιαν αυτου και θεση το προσκομμα της ανομιας αυτου εμπροσθεν του προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην, εγω ο Κυριος θελω αποκριθη προς αυτον ερχομενον, κατα το πληθος των ειδωλων αυτου? | 4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Any man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and sets the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him myself because of the multitude of his idols, |
| 5 δια να πιασω τον οικον Ισραηλ απο της καρδιας αυτων, επειδη παντες απηλλοτριωθησαν απ' εμου δια των ειδωλων αυτων. | 5 that I may lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel, who are all estranged from me through their idols. |
| 6 Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Μετανοησατε και επιστρεψατε απο των ειδωλων σας και αποστρεψατε τα προσωπα σας απο παντων των βδελυγματων σας. | 6 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Repent and turn away from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. |
| 7 Διοτι εις παντα ανθρωπον εκ του οικου Ισραηλ και εκ των ξενων των παροικουντων εν τω Ισραηλ, οστις απαλλοτριωθη απ' εμου και αναβιβαση τα ειδωλα αυτου εις την καρδιαν αυτου και θεση το προσκομμα της ανομιας αυτου εμπροσθεν του προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην δια να ερωτηση αυτον περι εμου, εγω ο Κυριος θελω αποκριθη προς αυτον περι εμου? | 7 For any one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separates himself from me, taking his idols into his heart and putting the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and yet comes to a prophet to inquire for himself of me, I the LORD will answer him myself; |
| 8 και θελω στησει το προσωπον μου εναντιον του ανθρωπου εκεινου και θελω καμει αυτον σημειον και παροιμιαν και θελω εκκοψει αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου? και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος. | 8 and I will set my face against that man, I will make him a sign and a byword and cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 9 Και εαν ο προφητης πλανηθη και λαληση λογον, εγω ο Κυριος επλανησα τον προφητην εκεινον? και θελω εκτεινει την χειρα μου επ' αυτον και εξολοθρευσει αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου Ισραηλ. | 9 And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. |
| 10 Και θελουσι λαβει την ποινην της ανομιας αυτων? η ποινη του προφητου θελει εισθαι ως η ποινη του ερωτωντος? | 10 And they shall bear their punishment--the punishment of the prophet and the punishment of the inquirer shall be alike-- |
| 11 δια να μη αποπλαναται πλεον ο οικος Ισραηλ απ' εμου, και να μη μιαινωνται πλεον με πασας τας παραβασεις αυτων, αλλα να ηναι λαος μου και εγω να ημαι Θεος αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος. | 11 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people and I may be their God, says the Lord GOD." |
| 12 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων, | 12 And the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 13 Υιε ανθρωπου, οταν γη τις αμαρτηση εις εμε με παραβασιν βαρειαν, τοτε θελω εκτεινει την χειρα μου επ' αυτην και συντριψει το υποστηριγμα του αρτου αυτης, και θελω εξαποστειλει την πειναν εναντιον αυτης και εκκοψει ανθρωπον και κτηνος απ' αυτης? | 13 "Son of man, when a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break its staff of bread and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast, |
| 14 και εαν οι τρεις ουτοι ανδρες, Νωε, Δανιηλ και Ιωβ, ησαν εν μεσω αυτης, μονοι ουτοι ηθελον σωσει τας ψυχας αυτων δια την δικαιοσυνην αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος. | 14 even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD. |
| 15 Και εαν ηθελον επιφερει κατα της γης θηρια κακα και εφθειρον αυτην, ωστε να αφανισθη, ωστε να μη δυναται τις να περαση δι' αυτης εξ αιτιας των θηριων, | 15 If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts; |
| 16 και οι τρεις ουτοι ανδρες ευρισκοντο εν μεσω αυτης, ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν ηθελον σωσει ουτε υιους ουτε θυγατερας? μονοι ουτοι ηθελον σωθη, η δε γη ηθελεν αφανισθη. | 16 even if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate. |
| 17 Η και εαν ηθελον επιφερει ρομφαιαν επι την γην εκεινην και ειπει, Ρομφαια, διελθε δια της γης, ωστε να εκκοψω απ' αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος, | 17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let a sword go through the land; and I cut off from it man and beast; |
| 18 και οι τρεις ουτοι ανδρες ευρισκοντο εν μεσω αυτης, ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν ηθελον σωσει υιους και θυγατερας αλλ' αυτοι μονοι ηθελον σωθη. | 18 though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be delivered. |
| 19 Η εαν ηθελον επιφερει θανατικον επι την γην εκεινην και εκχεει την οργην μου επ' αυτην με αιμα, ωστε να εκκοψω απ' αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος, | 19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it with blood, to cut off from it man and beast; |
| 20 και ευρισκοντο εν μεσω αυτης Νωε, Δανιηλ και Ιωβ, ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν ηθελον σωσει ουτε υιον ουτε θυγατερα? ουτοι μονοι ηθελον σωσει τας ψυχας αυτων δια την δικαιοσυνην αυτων. | 20 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness. |
| 21 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ποσω μαλλον λοιπον, οταν εξαποστειλω τας τεσσαρας δεινας κρισεις μου επι της Ιερουσαλημ, την ρομφαιαν και την πειναν και τα κακα θηρια και το θανατικον, ωστε να εκκοψω απ' αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος; | 21 "For thus says the Lord GOD: How much more when I send upon Jerusalem my four sore acts of judgment, sword, famine, evil beasts, and pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast! |
| 22 Πλην ιδου, θελουσι μενει εν αυτη λειψανα τινα, διασεσωσμενοι τινες, υιοι και θυγατερες? ιδου, ουτοι θελουσιν εξελθει προς εσας και θελετε ιδει τας οδους αυτων και τας πραξεις αυτων? και θελετε παρηγορηθη δια τα κακα, τα οποια επεφερα επι την Ιερουσαλημ, δια παντα οσα επεφερα επ' αυτην. | 22 Yet, if there should be left in it any survivors to lead out sons and daughters, when they come forth to you, and you see their ways and their doings, you will be consoled for the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, for all that I have brought upon it. |
| 23 Και ουτοι θελουσι σας παρηγορησει, οταν ιδητε τας οδους αυτων και τας πραξεις αυτων? και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω δεν εκαμον χωρις αιτιας παντα οσα εκαμον εν αυτη, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος. | 23 They will console you, when you see their ways and their doings; and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord GOD." |
