LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 υιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι θαιμαν και επιβλεψον επι δαρωμ και προφητευσον επι δρυμον ηγουμενον ναγεβ	2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and pour in drops toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the soil of Israel.
3 και ερεις τω δρυμω ναγεβ ακουε λογον κυριου ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω αναπτω εν σοι πυρ και καταφαγεται εν σοι παν ξυλον χλωρον και παν ξυλον ξηρον ου σβεσθησεται η φλοξ η εξαφθεισα και κατακαυθησεται εν αυτη παν προσωπον απο απηλιωτου εως βορρα	3 And you shall say to the land of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, and I will cast my sword from its sheath, and I will slay the just and the impious among you.
4 και επιγνωσονται πασα σαρξ οτι εγω κυριος εξεκαυσα αυτο και ου σβεσθησεται	4 But in as much as I have slain among you the just and the impious, for this reason my sword will go forth from its sheath against all flesh, from the south even to the north.
5 και ειπα μηδαμως κυριε κυριε αυτοι λεγουσιν προς με ουχι παραβολη εστιν λεγομενη αυτη	5 So may all flesh know that I, the Lord, have led my sword out of its sheath irrevocably.
6 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	6 And as for you, son of man, groan in the breaking of your back, and groan in bitterness before them.
7 δια τουτο προφητευσον υιε ανθρωπου και στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι ιερουσαλημ και επιβλεψον επι τα αγια αυτων και προφητευσεις επι την γην του ισραηλ	7 And when they will say to you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you shall say: ‘On behalf of the report, For it is approaching. And every heart will waste away, and every hand will be broken, and every spirit will be weakened, and water will flow across every knee.’ Behold, it is approaching and it will happen, says the Lord God.”
8 και ερεις προς την γην του ισραηλ ιδου εγω προς σε και εκσπασω το εγχειριδιον μου εκ του κολεου αυτου και εξολεθρευσω εκ σου αδικον και ανομον	8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 ανθ' ων εξολεθρευσω εκ σου αδικον και ανομον ουτως εξελευσεται το εγχειριδιον μου εκ του κολεου αυτου επι πασαν σαρκα απο απηλιωτου εως βορρα	9 “Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Speak: The sword! The sword has been sharpened and polished!
10 και επιγνωσεται πασα σαρξ διοτι εγω κυριος εξεσπασα το εγχειριδιον μου εκ του κολεου αυτου και ουκ αποστρεψει ουκετι	10 It has been sharpened, so that it may cut down victims! It has been polished, so that it may shine! You are disturbing the scepter of my son. You have cut down every tree.
11 και συ υιε ανθρωπου καταστεναξον εν συντριβη οσφυος σου και εν οδυναις στεναξεις κατ' οφθαλμους αυτων	11 And I have sent it to be made smooth, so that it may be handled. This sword has been sharpened, and it has been polished, so that it may be in the hand of the one who kills.
12 και εσται εαν ειπωσιν προς σε ενεκα τινος συ στεναζεις και ερεις επι τη αγγελια διοτι ερχεται και θραυσθησεται πασα καρδια και πασαι χειρες παραλυθησονται και εκψυξει πασα σαρξ και παν πνευμα και παντες μηροι μολυνθησονται υγρασια ιδου ερχεται και εσται λεγει κυριος κυριος	12 Cry out and wail, O son of man! For this has been done among my people, this is among all the leaders of Israel, who have fled. They have been handed over to the sword, with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh,
13 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	13 for it has been tested. And this one, when he will have overthrown the scepter, will not be, says the Lord God.
14 υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος ειπον ρομφαια ρομφαια οξυνου και θυμωθητι	14 You therefore, O son of man, prophesy, and strike hand against hand, and let the sword be doubled, and let the sword of the slain be tripled. This is the sword of the great slaughter, which causes them to be utterly stupefied,
15 οπως σφαξης σφαγια οξυνου οπως γενη εις στιλβωσιν ετοιμη εις παραλυσιν σφαζε εξουδενει απωθου παν ξυλον	15 and to waste away in heart, and which multiplies ruin. At all their gates, I have presented the consternation of the sword, which has been sharpened and polished so as to shine, which has been dressed for the slaughter.
16 και εδωκεν αυτην ετοιμην του κρατειν χειρα αυτου εξηκονηθη ρομφαια εστιν ετοιμη του δουναι αυτην εις χειρα αποκεντουντος	16 Be sharpened! Go to the right or to the left, whichever way is the desire of your face.
17 ανακραγε και ολολυξον υιε ανθρωπου οτι αυτη εγενετο εν τω λαω μου αυτη εν πασιν τοις αφηγουμενοις του ισραηλ παροικησουσιν επι ρομφαια εγενετο εν τω λαω μου δια τουτο κροτησον επι την χειρα σου	17 And then I will clap hand against hand, and I will fulfill my indignation. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18 οτι δεδικαιωται και τι ει και φυλη απωσθη ουκ εσται λεγει κυριος κυριος	18 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
19 και συ υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον και κροτησον χειρα επι χειρα και διπλασιασον ρομφαιαν η τριτη ρομφαια τραυματιων εστιν ρομφαια τραυματιων η μεγαλη και εκστησει αυτους	19 “And as for you, son of man, set for yourself two ways, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may approach. Both shall go forth from one land. And with a hand, he will grasp and cast lots; he will cast at the head of the way of the community.
20 οπως θραυσθη η καρδια και πληθυνθωσιν οι ασθενουντες επι πασαν πυλην αυτων παραδεδονται εις σφαγια ρομφαιας ευ γεγονεν εις σφαγην ευ γεγονεν εις στιλβωσιν	20 You shall appoint a way, so that the sword may approach to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, or to Judah, into Jerusalem, greatly fortified.
21 διαπορευου οξυνου εκ δεξιων και εξ ευωνυμων ου αν το προσωπον σου εξεγειρηται	21 For the king of Babylon stood at the fork, at the head of the two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows; he inquired of idols, and he consulted entrails.
22 και εγω δε κροτησω χειρα μου προς χειρα μου και εναφησω τον θυμον μου εγω κυριος λελαληκα	22 To his right was set the divination over Jerusalem, to place battering rams so as to open a mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice of wailing, to place battering rams opposite the gates, to cast up a rampart, to build fortifications.
23 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	23 And he shall be, in their eyes, like someone consulting an oracle in vain, or imitating the leisure of Sabbaths. But he will call to mind iniquities, so that it will be captured.
24 και συ υιε ανθρωπου διαταξον σεαυτω δυο οδους του εισελθειν ρομφαιαν βασιλεως βαβυλωνος εκ χωρας μιας εξελευσονται αι δυο και χειρ εν αρχη οδου πολεως επ' αρχης	24 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because you have been remembered in your iniquities, and you have revealed your betrayals, and your sins have appeared within all your plans, because, I say, you have been remembered, you will be captured by a hand.
25 οδου διαταξεις του εισελθειν ρομφαιαν επι ραββαθ υιων αμμων και επι την ιουδαιαν και επι ιερουσαλημ εν μεσω αυτης	25 But as for you, O impious leader of Israel, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity:
26 διοτι στησεται βασιλευς βαβυλωνος επι την αρχαιαν οδον επ' αρχης των δυο οδων του μαντευσασθαι μαντειαν του αναβρασαι ραβδον και επερωτησαι εν τοις γλυπτοις και ηπατοσκοπησασθαι εκ δεξιων αυτου	26 Thus says the Lord God: Take away the diadem, remove the crown. Is this not what has exalted the lowly one, and brought low the sublime one?
27 εγενετο το μαντειον επι ιερουσαλημ του βαλειν χαρακα του διανοιξαι στομα εν βοη υψωσαι φωνην μετα κραυγης του βαλειν χαρακα επι τας πυλας αυτης και βαλειν χωμα και οικοδομησαι βελοστασεις	27 Iniquity, iniquity, iniquity I will make it. And this was not done until the one arrived to whom judgment belongs, and I will hand it over to him.
28 και αυτος αυτοις ως μαντευομενος μαντειαν ενωπιον αυτων και αυτος αναμιμνησκων αδικιας αυτου μνησθηναι	28 And as for you, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus says the Lord God to the sons of Ammon, and to their disgrace, and you shall say: O sword, O sword, unsheathe yourself so as to slay; polish yourself so as to kill and to shine,
29 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ' ων ανεμνησατε τας αδικιας υμων εν τω αποκαλυφθηναι τας ασεβειας υμων του οραθηναι αμαρτιας υμων εν πασαις ταις ασεβειαις υμων και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν υμων ανθ' ων ανεμνησατε εν τουτοις αλωσεσθε	29 while they look upon you in vain, and they divine lies, so that you may be given over to the necks of the wounded impious, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity.
30 και συ βεβηλε ανομε αφηγουμενε του ισραηλ ου ηκει η ημερα εν καιρω αδικιας περας	30 Be returned to your sheath! I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
31 ταδε λεγει κυριος αφειλου την κιδαριν και επεθου τον στεφανον αυτη ου τοιαυτη εσται εταπεινωσας το υψηλον και το ταπεινον υψωσας	31 And I will pour out upon you my indignation. In the fire of my fury, I will fan you, and I will give you over to the hands of cruel men, who have devised destruction.
32 αδικιαν αδικιαν θησομαι αυτην ουδ' αυτη τοιαυτη εσται εως ου ελθη ω καθηκει και παραδωσω αυτω	32 You will be food for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the land; you will be delivered to oblivion. For I, the Lord, have spoken.”
33 και συ υιε ανθρωπου προφητευσον και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος προς τους υιους αμμων και προς τον ονειδισμον αυτων και ερεις ρομφαια ρομφαια εσπασμενη εις σφαγια και εσπασμενη εις συντελειαν εγειρου οπως στιλβης
34 εν τη ορασει σου τη ματαια και εν τω μαντευεσθαι σε ψευδη του παραδουναι σε επι τραχηλους τραυματιων ανομων ων ηκει η ημερα εν καιρω αδικιας περας
35 αποστρεφε μη καταλυσης εν τω τοπω τουτω ω γεγεννησαι εν τη γη τη ιδια σου κρινω σε
36 και εκχεω επι σε οργην μου εν πυρι οργης μου εμφυσησω επι σε και παραδωσω σε εις χειρας ανδρων βαρβαρων τεκταινοντων διαφθοραν
37 εν πυρι εση καταβρωμα το αιμα σου εσται εν μεσω της γης σου ου μη γενηται σου μνεια διοτι εγω κυριος λελαληκα
