ΙΕΖΕΚΙΗΛ - Ezechiele - Ezekiel 20

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εγενετο εν τω ετει τω εβδομω εν τω πεμπτω μηνι δεκατη του μηνος ηλθον ανδρες εκ των πρεσβυτερων οικου ισραηλ επερωτησαι τον κυριον και εκαθισαν προ προσωπου μου	1 In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to consult the LORD and sat down before me.
2 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	2 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
3 υιε ανθρωπου λαλησον προς τους πρεσβυτερους του ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ει επερωτησαι με υμεις ερχεσθε ζω εγω ει αποκριθησομαι υμιν λεγει κυριος	3 Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel and say to them: Thus says the Lord GOD: Have you come to consult me? As I live! I swear I will not allow myself to be consulted by you, says the Lord GOD.
4 ει εκδικησω αυτους εκδικησει υιε ανθρωπου τας ανομιας των πατερων αυτων διαμαρτυραι αυτοις	4 Will you judge them? Will you judge, son of man? Make known to them the abominations of their ancestors
5 και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος αφ' ης ημερας ηρετισα τον οικον ισραηλ και εγνωρισθην τω σπερματι οικου ιακωβ και εγνωσθην αυτοις εν γη αιγυπτου και αντελαβομην τη χειρι μου αυτων λεγων εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων	5 in these words: Thus speaks the Lord GOD: The day I chose Israel, I swore to the descendants of the house of Jacob; in the land of Egypt I revealed myself to them and swore: I am the LORD, your God.
6 εν εκεινη τη ημερα αντελαβομην τη χειρι μου αυτων του εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εις την γην ην ητοιμασα αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι κηριον εστιν παρα πασαν την γην	6 That day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt to the land I had scouted for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, a jewel among all lands.
7 και ειπα προς αυτους εκαστος τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτου απορριψατω και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αιγυπτου μη μιαινεσθε εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων	7 Then I said to them: Throw away, each of you, the detestable things that have held your eyes; do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD, your God.
8 και απεστησαν απ' εμου και ουκ ηθελησαν εισακουσαι μου τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτων ουκ απερριψαν και τα επιτηδευματα αιγυπτου ουκ εγκατελιπον και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους του συντελεσαι την οργην μου εν αυτοις εν μεσω γης αιγυπτου	8 But they rebelled against me and refused to listen to me; none of them threw away the detestable things that had held their eyes, they did not abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I thought of pouring out my fury on them and spending my anger on them there in the land of Egypt;
9 και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων αυτοι εισιν εν μεσω αυτων εν οις εγνωσθην προς αυτους ενωπιον αυτων του εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου	9 but I acted for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose presence I had made myself known to them, revealing that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt.
10 και εξηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και ηγαγον αυτους εις την ερημον	10 Therefore I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the desert.
11 και εδωκα αυτοις τα προσταγματα μου και τα δικαιωματα μου εγνωρισα αυτοις οσα ποιησει αυτα ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις	11 Then I gave them my statutes and made known to them my ordinances, which everyone must keep, to have life through them.
12 και τα σαββατα μου εδωκα αυτοις του ειναι εις σημειον ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον αυτων του γνωναι αυτους διοτι εγω κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτους	12 I also gave them my sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, to show that it was I, the LORD, who made them holy.
13 και ειπα προς τον οικον του ισραηλ εν τη ερημω εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου πορευεσθε και ουκ επορευθησαν και τα δικαιωματα μου απωσαντο α ποιησει αυτα ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν σφοδρα και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους εν τη ερημω του εξαναλωσαι αυτους	13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the desert. They did not observe my statutes, and they despised my ordinances that bring life to those who keep them. My sabbaths, too, they desecrated grievously. Then I thought of pouring out my fury on them in the desert to put an end to them,
14 και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων εξηγαγον αυτους κατ' οφθαλμους αυτων	14 but I acted for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose presence I had brought them out.
15 και εγω εξηρα την χειρα μου επ' αυτους εν τη ερημω το παραπαν του μη εισαγαγειν αυτους εις την γην ην εδωκα αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι κηριον εστιν παρα πασαν την γην	15 Nevertheless I swore to them in the desert not to bring them to the land I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, a jewel among all lands.
16 ανθ' ων τα δικαιωματα μου απωσαντο και εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου ουκ επορευθησαν εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και οπισω των ενθυμηματων των καρδιων αυτων επορευοντο	16 So much were their hearts devoted to their idols, they had not lived by my statutes, but despised my ordinances and desecrated my sabbaths.
17 και εφεισατο ο οφθαλμος μου επ' αυτους του εξαλειψαι αυτους και ουκ εποιησα αυτους εις συντελειαν εν τη ερημω	17 But I looked on them with pity, not wanting to destroy them, so I did not put an end to them in the desert.
18 και ειπα προς τα τεκνα αυτων εν τη ερημω εν τοις νομιμοις των πατερων υμων μη πορευεσθε και τα δικαιωματα αυτων μη φυλασσεσθε και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αυτων μη συναναμισγεσθε και μη μιαινεσθε	18 Then I said to their children in the desert: Do not observe the statutes of your parents or keep their ordinances; do not defile yourselves with their idols.
19 εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου πορευεσθε και τα δικαιωματα μου φυλασσεσθε και ποιειτε αυτα	19 I am the LORD, your God: observe my statutes and be careful to keep my ordinances;
20 και τα σαββατα μου αγιαζετε και εστω εις σημειον ανα μεσον εμου και υμων του γινωσκειν διοτι εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων	20 keep holy my sabbaths, as a sign between me and you to show that I am the LORD, your God.
21 και παρεπικραναν με και τα τεκνα αυτων εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου ουκ επορευθησαν και τα δικαιωματα μου ουκ εφυλαξαντο του ποιειν αυτα α ποιησει ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους εν τη ερημω του συντελεσαι την οργην μου επ' αυτους	21 But their children rebelled against me: they did not observe my statutes or keep my ordinances that bring life to those who observe them, and my sabbaths they desecrated. Then I thought of pouring out my fury on them, of spending my anger on them in the desert;
22 και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων εξηγαγον αυτους κατ' οφθαλμους αυτων	22 but I stayed my hand, acting for my name's sake, lest it be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose presence I brought them out.
23 και εξηρα την χειρα μου επ' αυτους εν τη ερημω του διασκορπισαι αυτους εν τοις εθνεσιν και διασπειραι αυτους εν ταις χωραις	23 Nevertheless I swore to them in the desert that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them over foreign lands;
24 ανθ' ων τα δικαιωματα μου ουκ εποιησαν και τα προσταγματα μου απωσαντο και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και οπισω των ενθυμηματων των πατερων αυτων ησαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων	24 for they did not keep my ordinances, but despised my statutes and desecrated my sabbaths, with eyes only for the idols of their fathers.
25 και εγω εδωκα αυτοις προσταγματα ου καλα και δικαιωματα εν οις ου ζησονται εν αυτοις	25 Therefore I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances through which they could not live.
26 και μιανω αυτους εν τοις δομασιν αυτων εν τω διαπορευεσθαι με παν διανοιγον μητραν οπως αφανισω αυτους	26 I let them become defiled by their gifts, by their immolation of every first-born, so as to make them an object of horror.
27 δια τουτο λαλησον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ υιε ανθρωπου και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος εως τουτου παρωργισαν με οι πατερες υμων εν τοις παραπτωμασιν αυτων εν οις παρεπεσον εις εμε	27 Therefore speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and tell them: Thus says the Lord GOD: In this way also your fathers blasphemed me, breaking faith with me:
28 και εισηγαγον αυτους εις την γην ην ηρα την χειρα μου του δουναι αυτοις και ειδον παν βουνον υψηλον και παν ξυλον κατασκιον και εθυσαν εκει τοις θεοις αυτων και εταξαν εκει οσμην ευωδιας και εσπεισαν εκει σπονδας αυτων	28 when I had brought them to the land I had sworn to give them, and they saw all its high hills and leafy trees, there they offered their sacrifices (there they brought their offensive offerings), there they sent up appeasing odors, and there they poured out their libations.
29 και ειπον προς αυτους τι εστιν αβαμα οτι υμεις εισπορευεσθε εκει και επεκαλεσαν το ονομα αυτου αβαμα εως της σημερον ημερας	29 I asked them: To what sort of high place do you betake yourselves?--and so they call it a high place even to the present day.
30 δια τουτο ειπον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος ει εν ταις ανομιαις των πατερων υμων υμεις μιαινεσθε και οπισω των βδελυγματων αυτων υμεις εκπορνευετε	30 Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord GOD: Will you defile yourselves like your fathers? Will you lust after their detestable idols?
31 και εν ταις απαρχαις των δοματων υμων εν τοις αφορισμοις υμεις μιαινεσθε εν πασιν τοις ενθυμημασιν υμων εως της σημερον ημερας και εγω αποκριθω υμιν οικος του ισραηλ ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ει αποκριθησομαι υμιν και ει αναβησεται επι το πνευμα υμων τουτο	31 By offering your gifts, by making your children pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols even to this day. Shall I let myself be consulted by you, house of Israel? As I live! says the Lord GOD: I swear I will not let myself be consulted by you.
32 και ουκ εσται ον τροπον υμεις λεγετε εσομεθα ως τα εθνη και ως αι φυλαι της γης του λατρευειν ξυλοις και λιθοις	32 What you are thinking of shall never happen: "We shall be like the nations, like the peoples of foreign lands, serving wood and stone."
33 δια τουτο ζω εγω λεγει κυριος εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν θυμω κεχυμενω βασιλευσω εφ' υμας	33 As I live, says the Lord GOD, with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, with poured-out wrath, I swear I will be king over you!
34 και εξαξω υμας εκ των λαων και εισδεξομαι υμας εκ των χωρων ου διεσκορπισθητε εν αυταις εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν θυμω κεχυμενω	34 With a mighty hand and outstretched arm, with poured-out wrath, I will bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries over which you are scattered;
35 και αξω υμας εις την ερημον των λαων και διακριθησομαι προς υμας εκει προσωπον κατα προσωπον	35 then I will lead you to the desert of the peoples, where I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 ον τροπον διεκριθην προς τους πατερας υμων εν τη ερημω γης αιγυπτου ουτως κρινω υμας λεγει κυριος	36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord GOD.
37 και διαξω υμας υπο την ραβδον μου και εισαξω υμας εν αριθμω	37 I will count you with the staff and bring back but a small number.
38 και εκλεξω εξ υμων τους ασεβεις και τους αφεστηκοτας διοτι εκ της παροικεσιας αυτων εξαξω αυτους και εις την γην του ισραηλ ουκ εισελευσονται και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος	38 I will separate from you those who have rebelled and transgressed against me; from the land where they sojourned as aliens I will bring them out, but they shall not return to the land of Israel. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD.
39 και υμεις οικος ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος εκαστος τα επιτηδευματα αυτου εξαρατε και μετα ταυτα ει μη υμεις εισακουετε μου και το ονομα μου το αγιον ου βεβηλωσετε ουκετι εν τοις δωροις υμων και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν υμων	39 As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD: Come, each one of you, destroy your idols! Then listen to me, and never again profane my holy name with your gifts and your idols.
40 διοτι επι του ορους του αγιου μου επ' ορους υψηλου λεγει κυριος κυριος εκει δουλευσουσιν μοι πας οικος ισραηλ εις τελος και εκει προσδεξομαι και εκει επισκεψομαι τας απαρχας υμων και τας απαρχας των αφορισμων υμων εν πασιν τοις αγιασμασιν υμων	40 For on my holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel, says the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel without exception shall worship me; there I will accept them, and there I will claim your tributes and the first fruits of your offerings, and all that you dedicate.
41 εν οσμη ευωδιας προσδεξομαι υμας εν τω εξαγαγειν με υμας εκ των λαων και εισδεχεσθαι υμας εκ των χωρων εν αις διεσκορπισθητε εν αυταις και αγιασθησομαι εν υμιν κατ' οφθαλμους των λαων	41 As a pleasing odor I will accept you, when I have brought you from among the nations and gathered you out of the countries over which you were scattered; and by means of you I will manifest my holiness in the sight of the nations.
42 και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εν τω εισαγαγειν με υμας εις την γην του ισραηλ εις την γην εις ην ηρα την χειρα μου του δουναι αυτην τοις πατρασιν υμων	42 Thus you shall know that I am the LORD, when I bring you back to the land of Israel, the land which I swore to give to your fathers.
43 και μνησθησεσθε εκει τας οδους υμων και τα επιτηδευματα υμων εν οις εμιαινεσθε εν αυτοις και κοψεσθε τα προσωπα υμων εν πασαις ταις κακιαις υμων	43 There you shall recall your conduct and all the deeds by which you defiled yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves because of all the evil things you did.
44 και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εν τω ποιησαι με ουτως υμιν οπως το ονομα μου μη βεβηλωθη κατα τας οδους υμων τας κακας και κατα τα επιτηδευματα υμων τα διεφθαρμενα λεγει κυριος	44 And you shall know that I am the LORD when I deal with you thus, for my name's sake, and not according to your evil conduct and corrupt actions, O house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
