GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε; λεγων,	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, θελεις κρινει, θελεις κρινει την πολιν των αιματων; και θελεις παραστησει εις αυτην παντα τα βδελυγματα αυτης;	2 “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
3 Ειπε λοιπον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ω πολις εκχεουσα αιματα μεσω εαυτης, δια να ελθη ο καιρος αυτης, και κατασκευαζουσα ειδωλα εναντιον εαυτης, δια να μιαινηται,	3 And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
4 εγεινας ενοχος εν τω αιματι σου, το οποιον εξεχεας, και εμιανθης εν τοις ειδωλοις σου, τα οποια κατεσκευασας, και εκαμες να πλησιασωσιν αι ημεραι σου, και ηλθες μεχρι των ετων σου? δια τουτο σε κατεστησα ονειδος εις τα εθνη και παιγνιον εις παντας τους τοπους.	4 You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
5 Οι πλησιον και οι μακραν απο σου θελουσιν εμπαιξει σε, μεμολυσμενη κατα το ονομα, μεγαλη κατα τας συμφορας.	5 Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
6 Ιδου, οι αρχοντες του Ισραηλ ησαν εν σοι, δια να χυνωσιν αιμα, εκαστος κατα την δυναμιν αυτου.	6 Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
7 Εν σοι κατεφρονουν πατερα και μητερα? εν μεσω σου εφεροντο απατηλως προς τον ξενον? εν σοι κατεδυναστευον τον ορφανον και την χηραν.	7 They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.
8 Τα αγια μου κατεφρονησας και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσας.	8 You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.
9 Εν σοι ησαν ανδρες συκοφανται δια να χυνωσιν αιμα, και εν σοι ετρωγον επι των ορεων, εν μεσω σου πραττουσιν ανοσιουργιας.	9 Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.
10 Εν σοι εξεσκεπασαν αισχυνην πατρος, εν σοι εταπεινωσαν την αποκεχωρισμενην εν τη ακαθαρσια αυτης.	10 They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
11 Και ο μεν επραξε βδελυριαν μετα της γυναικος του πλησιον αυτου, ο δε εμιανεν ανοσιως την νυμφην αυτου, και αλλος εν σοι εταπεινωσε την αδελφην αυτου, την θυγατερα του πατρος αυτου.	11 And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
12 Εν σοι ελαμβανον δωρα δια να εκχεωσιν αιμα? ελαβες τοκον και προσθηκην και δι' απατης ησχροκερδησας απο των πλησιον σου, και ελησμονησας εμε, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.	12 They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.
13 Ιδου, δια τουτο εκροτησα τας χειρας μου επι τη αισχροκερδεια σου, την οποιαν επραξας, και επι τω αιματι σου, το οποιον ητο εν μεσω σου.	13 Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.
14 Θελει ανθεξει η καρδια σου; η θελουσιν εχει δυναμιν αι χειρες σου, εν ημεραις καθ' ας εγω θελω ενεργησει εναντιον σου; εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα και θελω εκτελεσει.	14 How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
15 Και θελω σε διασκορπισει εν τοις εθνεσι και σε διασπειρει εις τους τοπους και θελω εξαλειψει απο σου την ακαθαρσιαν σου.	15 And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
16 Και θελεις βεβηλωθη εν σοι ενωπιον των εθνων, και θελεις γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.	16 And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,	17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 Υιε ανθρωπου, ο οικος Ισραηλ εγεινεν εις εμε σκωρια? παντες ειναι χαλκος και κασσιτερος και σιδηρος και μολυβδος εν τω μεσω του χωνευτηριου? ειναι σκωριαι αργυρου.	18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.
19 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Επειδη παντες σεις εγεινετε σκωριαι, ιδου, δια τουτο θελω σας συναξει εις το μεσον της Ιερουσαλημ?	19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,
20 καθως συναγουσιν εις το μεσον του χωνευτηριου τον αργυρον και τον χαλκον και τον σιδηρον και τον μολυβδον και τον κασσιτερον, δια να φυσησωσι το πυρ επ' αυτα ωστε να διαλυσωσιν αυτα, ουτως εν τω θυμω μου και εν τη οργη μου θελω σας συναξει και θελω σας βαλει εκει και διαλυσει.	20 just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
21 Θελω εξαπαντος σας συναξει, και εν τω πυρι της οργης μου θελω εμφυσησει εφ' υμας και θελετε διαλυθη εν τω μεσω αυτης.	21 And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
22 Καθως ο αργυρος διαλυεται εν μεσω του χωνευτηριου, ουτω θελετε διαλυθη εν μεσω αυτης? και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ο Κυριος εξεχεα την οργην μου εφ' υμας.	22 Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”
23 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,	23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 Υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς αυτην? Συ εισαι η γη, ητις δεν εκαθαρισθη, και δεν εγεινε βροχη επ' αυτης εν τη ημερα της οργης.	24 “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
25 Εν μεσω αυτης ειναι συνωμοσια των προφητων αυτης? ως λεοντες ωρυομενοι, αρπαζοντες το θηραμα, κατατρωγουσι ψυχας? ελαβον θησαυρους και πολυτιμα πραγματα? επληθυναν τας χηρας αυτης εν τω μεσω αυτης.	25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
26 Οι ιερεις αυτης ηθετησαν τον νομον μου και εβεβηλωσαν τα αγια μου? μεταξυ αγιου και βεβηλου δεν εκαμον διαφοραν και μεταξυ ακαθαρτου και καθαρου δεν εκαμον διακρισιν, και εκρυπτον τους οφθαλμους αυτων απο των σαββατων μου, και εβεβηλουμην εν μεσω αυτων.	26 Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
27 Οι αρχοντες αυτης ειναι εν μεσω αυτης ως λυκοι αρπαζοντες το θηραμα, δια να εκχεωσιν αιμα, δια να αφανιζωσι ψυχας, δια να αισχροκερδησωσιν αισχροκερδειαν.	27 Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
28 Και οι προφηται αυτης περηλειφον αυτους με πηλον αμαλακτον, βλεποντες ορασεις ματαιας και μαντευοντες προς αυτους ψευδη, λεγοντες, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? ενω ο Κυριος δεν ελαλησεν.	28 And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
29 Ο λαος της γης μετεχειριζετο απατην και εκαμνεν αρπαγας και κατεδυναστευε τον πτωχον και τον ενδεη και τον ξενον ηπατα ανευ κρισεως.	29 The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
30 Και εζητησα μεταξυ αυτων ανδρα, οστις να ανεγειρη το περιφραγμα και να σταθη εν τη χαλαστρα ενωπιον μου υπερ της γης, δια να μη εξολοθρευσω αυτην? και δεν ευρηκα.	30 And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.
31 Δια τουτο εξεχεα την οργην μου επ' αυτους? κατηναλωσα αυτους εν τω πυρι της οργης μου? τας οδους αυτων ανταπεδωκα επι τας κεφαλας αυτων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.	31 And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
