Ezekiel 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 When certain elders of Israel came and sat down before me,	1 και ηλθον προς με ανδρες εκ των πρεσβυτερων του ισραηλ και εκαθισαν προ προσωπου μου
2 the word of the LORD came to me:	2 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
3 Son of man, these men have the memory of their idols fresh in their hearts, and they keep the occasion of their sin before them. Why should I allow myself to be consulted by them?	3 υιε ανθρωπου οι ανδρες ουτοι εθεντο τα διανοηματα αυτων επι τας καρδιας αυτων και την κολασιν των αδικιων αυτων εθηκαν προ προσωπου αυτων ει αποκρινομενος αποκριθω αυτοις
4 Therefore speak with them, and say to them: Thus says the Lord GOD: If anyone of the house of Israel, holding the memory of his idols in his heart and keeping the occasion of his sin before him, has recourse to a prophet, I, the LORD, will be his answer in person because of his many idols.	4 δια τουτο λαλησον αυτοις και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθρωπος ανθρωπος εκ του οικου ισραηλ ος αν θη τα διανοηματα αυτου επι την καρδιαν αυτου και την κολασιν της αδικιας αυτου ταξη προ προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην εγω κυριος αποκριθησομαι αυτω εν οις ενεχεται η διανοια αυτου
5 Thus would I bring back to their senses the house of Israel, who have become estranged from me through all their idols.	5 οπως πλαγιαση τον οικον του ισραηλ κατα τας καρδιας αυτων τας απηλλοτριωμενας απ' εμου εν τοις ενθυμημασιν αυτων
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord GOD: Return and be converted from your idols; turn yourselves away from all your abominations.	6 δια τουτο ειπον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος επιστραφητε και αποστρεψατε απο των επιτηδευματων υμων και απο πασων των ασεβειων υμων και επιστρεψατε τα προσωπα υμων
7 For if anyone of the house of Israel or any alien resident in Israel is estranged from me, and holds the memory of his idols in his heart and keeps the occasion of his sin before him, yet asks a prophet to consult me for him, I, the LORD, will be his answer in person.	7 διοτι ανθρωπος ανθρωπος εκ του οικου ισραηλ και εκ των προσηλυτων των προσηλυτευοντων εν τω ισραηλ ος αν απαλλοτριωθη απ' εμου και θηται τα ενθυμηματα αυτου επι την καρδιαν αυτου και την κολασιν της αδικιας αυτου ταξη προ προσωπου αυτου και ελθη προς τον προφητην του επερωτησαι αυτον εν εμοι εγω κυριος αποκριθησομαι αυτω εν ω ενεχεται εν αυτω
8 I will turn against that man, and make of him an example and a byword. I will cut him off from the midst of my people. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD.	8 και στηριω το προσωπον μου επι τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και θησομαι αυτον εις ερημον και εις αφανισμον και εξαρω αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου και επιγνωσεσθε οτι εγω κυριος
9 As for the prophet, if he is beguiled into speaking a word, I, the LORD, shall have beguiled that prophet; I will stretch out my hand against him and root him out of my people Israel.	9 και ο προφητης εαν πλανηθη και λαληση εγω κυριος πεπλανηκα τον προφητην εκεινον και εκτενω την χειρα μου επ' αυτον και αφανιω αυτον εκ μεσου του λαου μου ισραηλ
10 Each shall receive punishment for his sin, the inquirer and the prophet shall be punished alike,	10 και λημψονται την αδικιαν αυτων κατα το αδικημα του επερωτωντος και κατα το αδικημα ομοιως τω προφητη εσται
11 so that the house of Israel may no longer stray from me and may no longer be defiled by all their sins. Thus they shall be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord GOD.	11 οπως μη πλαναται ετι ο οικος του ισραηλ απ' εμου και ινα μη μιαινωνται ετι εν πασιν τοις παραπτωμασιν αυτων και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον λεγει κυριος
12 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:	12 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
13 Son of man, when a land sins against me by breaking faith, I stretch out my hand against it and break its staff of bread, I let famine loose upon it and cut off from it both man and beast;	13 υιε ανθρωπου γη εαν αμαρτη μοι του παραπεσειν παραπτωμα και εκτενω την χειρα μου επ' αυτην και συντριψω αυτης στηριγμα αρτου και εξαποστελω επ' αυτην λιμον και εξαρω εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνη
14 and even if these three men were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they could save only themselves by their virtue, says the Lord GOD.	14 και εαν ωσιν οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης νωε και δανιηλ και ιωβ αυτοι εν τη δικαιοσυνη αυτων σωθησονται λεγει κυριος
15 If I were to cause wild beasts to prowl the land, depopulating it so that it became a waste, traversed by none because of the wild beasts,	15 εαν και θηρια πονηρα επαγω επι την γην και τιμωρησομαι αυτην και εσται εις αφανισμον και ουκ εσται ο διοδευων απο προσωπου των θηριων
16 and these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I swear they could save neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be saved, and the land would be a waste.	16 και οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης ωσι ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ει υιοι η θυγατερες σωθησονται αλλ' η αυτοι μονοι σωθησονται η δε γη εσται εις ολεθρον
17 Or if I brought the sword upon this country, commanding the sword to pass through the land cutting off from it man and beast,	17 η και ρομφαιαν εαν επαγω επι την γην εκεινην και ειπω ρομφαια διελθατω δια της γης και εξαρω εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
18 and these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they would be unable to save either sons or daughters; they alone would be saved.	18 και οι τρεις ανδρες ουτοι εν μεσω αυτης ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ου μη ρυσωνται υιους ουδε θυγατερας αυτοι μονοι σωθησονται
19 Or if I were to send pestilence into this land, pouring out upon it my bloodthirsty fury, cutting off from it man and beast,	19 η και θανατον επαποστειλω επι την γην εκεινην και εκχεω τον θυμον μου επ' αυτην εν αιματι του εξολεθρευσαι εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
20 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I swear that they could save neither son nor daughter; they would save only themselves by their virtue.	20 και νωε και δανιηλ και ιωβ εν μεσω αυτης ζω εγω λεγει κυριος εαν υιοι η θυγατερες υπολειφθωσιν αυτοι εν τη δικαιοσυνη αυτων ρυσονται τας ψυχας αυτων
21 Thus says the Lord GOD: Even though I send Jerusalem my four cruel punishments, the sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast,	21 ταδε λεγει κυριος εαν δε και τας τεσσαρας εκδικησεις μου τας πονηρας ρομφαιαν και λιμον και θηρια πονηρα και θανατον εξαποστειλω επι ιερουσαλημ του εξολεθρευσαι εξ αυτης ανθρωπον και κτηνος
22 still some survivors shall be left in it who will bring out sons and daughters; when they come out to you, you shall see their conduct and their actions and be consoled regarding the evil I have brought on Jerusalem (all that I have brought upon it).	22 και ιδου υπολελειμμενοι εν αυτη οι ανασεσωσμενοι αυτης οι εξαγουσιν εξ αυτης υιους και θυγατερας ιδου αυτοι εκπορευονται προς υμας και οψεσθε τας οδους αυτων και τα ενθυμηματα αυτων και μεταμεληθησεσθε επι τα κακα α επηγαγον επι ιερουσαλημ παντα τα κακα α επηγαγον επ' αυτην
23 They shall console you when you see their conduct and actions, for you shall then know that it was not without reason that I did to it what I did, says the Lord GOD.	23 και παρακαλεσουσιν υμας διοτι οψεσθε τας οδους αυτων και τα ενθυμηματα αυτων και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι ου ματην πεποιηκα παντα οσα εποιησα εν αυτη λεγει κυριος
