Ezekiel 20

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.	1 Και εν τω εβδομω ετει, τω πεμπτω μηνι, τη δεκατη του μηνος, ηλθον τινες εκ των πρεσβυτερων του Ισραηλ δια να επερωτησωσι τον Κυριον, και εκαθησαν εμπροσθεν μου.
2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:	2 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,
3 Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.	3 Υιε ανθρωπου, λαλησον προς τους πρεσβυτερους του Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ηλθετε δια να με επερωτησητε; Ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν θελω επερωτηθη απο σας.
4 If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.	4 Θελεις κρινει αυτους; υιε ανθρωπου, θελεις κρινει; δειξον εις αυτους τα βδελυγματα των πατερων αυτων?
5 And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God : In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:	5 και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Εν τη ημερα καθ' ην εξελεξα τον Ισραηλ και υψωσα την χειρα μου προς το σπερμα του οικου Ιακωβ και εγνωρισθην εις αυτους εν Αιγυπτω και υψωσα την χειρα μου προς αυτους, λεγων, Εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας,
6 In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands.	6 εν εκεινη τη ημερα υψωσα την χειρα μου προς αυτους οτι θελω εξαγαγει αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου εις γην την οποιαν προεβλεψα δι' αυτους, γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι, ητις ειναι η δοξα πασων των γαιων.
7 And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.	7 Και ειπα προς αυτους, Απορριψατε εκαστος τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτου και μη μιαινεσθε με τα ειδωλα της Αιγυπτου? εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας.
8 But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.	8 Αυτοι ομως απεστατησαν απ' εμου και δεν ηθελησαν να μου ακουσωσι? δεν απερριψαν εκαστος τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτων και δεν εγκατελιπον τα ειδωλα της Αιγυπτου. Τοτε ειπα να εκχεω τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους, δια να συντελεσω την οργην μου εναντιον αυτων εν μεσω της γης Αιγυπτου.
9 But I did otherwise for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.	9 Πλην ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, δια να μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων, μεταξυ των οποιων ησαν και εμπροσθεν των οποιων εγνωρισθην εις αυτους, εκαμον τουτο, να εξαγαγω αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου.
10 Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.	10 Και εξηγαγον αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου και εφερα αυτους εις την ερημον?
11 And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.	11 και εδωκα εις αυτους τα διαταγματα μου και εκαμον εις αυτους γνωστας τας κρισεις μου, τας οποιας καμνων ο ανθρωπος θελει ζησει δι' αυτων.
12 Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.	12 Και τα σαββατα μου εδωκα ετι εις αυτους, δια να ηναι μεταξυ εμου και αυτων σημειον, ωστε να γνωριζωσιν οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτους.
13 But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.	13 Αλλ' ο οικος Ισραηλ απεστατησεν απ' εμου εν τη ερημω? εν τοις διαταγμασι μου δεν περιεπατησαν και τας κρισεις μου απερριψαν, τας οποιας καμνων ο ανθρωπος θελει ζησει δι' αυτων? και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν σφοδρα? τοτε ειπα να εκχεω τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους εν τη ερημω, δια να εξολοθρευσω αυτους.
14 But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.	14 Πλην εκαμον τουτο ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, δια να μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων, εμπροσθεν των οποιων εξηγαγον αυτους.
15 So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.	15 Και εγω υψωσα οτι προς αυτους την χειρα μου εν τη ερημω, οτι δεν θελω φερει αυτους εις την γην, την οποιαν εδωκα εις αυτους, γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι, ητις ειναι δοξα πασων των γαιων?
16 Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.	16 διοτι τας κρισεις μου απερριψαν και εν τοις διαταγμασι μου δεν περιεπατησαν και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν? διοτι αι καρδιαι αυτων επορευοντο κατοπιν των ειδωλων αυτων.
17 Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.	17 Και εφεισθη ο οφθαλμος μου επ' αυτους, ωστε να μη εξαλειψω αυτους, και δεν συνετελεσα αυτους εν τη ερημω.
18 And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:	18 Αλλ' ειπα προς τα τεκνα αυτων εν τη ερημω, Μη περιπατειτε εν τοις διαταγμασι των πατερων σας και μη φυλαττετε τας κρισεις αυτων και μη μιαινεσθε με τα ειδωλα αυτων?
19 I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.	19 εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας? εν τοις διαταγμασι μου περιπατειτε? και τας κρισεις μου φυλαττετε και εκτελειτε αυτας?
20 And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.	20 και αγιαζετε τα σαββατα μου, και ας ηναι μεταξυ εμου και υμων σημειον, ωστε να γνωριζητε οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας.
21 But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shell live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.	21 Τα τεκνα ομως απεστατησαν απ' εμου? εν τοις διαταγμασι μου δεν περιεπατησαν και τας κρισεις μου δεν εφυλαξαν, ωστε να εκτελωσιν αυτας, τας οποιας καμνων ο ανθρωπος θελει ζησει δι' αυτων? τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν? τοτε ειπα να εκχεω τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους, δια να συντελεσω την οργην μου εναντιον αυτων εν τη ερημω.
22 But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.	22 Και απεστρεψα την χειρα μου και εκαμον τουτο ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, δια να μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων, εμπροσθεν των οποιων εξηγαγον αυτους.
23 Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries :	23 Υψωσα ετι εγω την χειρα μου προς αυτους εν τη ερημω, οτι ηθελον διασκορπισει αυτους μεταξυ των εθνων και διασπειρει αυτους εις τους τοπους?
24 Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.	24 διοτι τας κρισεις μου δεν εξετελεσαν και τα διαταγματα μου απερριψαν και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτων ησαν κατοπιν των ειδωλων των πατερων αυτων.
25 Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.	25 Δια τουτο και εγω εδωκα εις αυτους διαταγματα ουχι καλα και κρισεις, δια των οποιων δεν ηθελον ζησει?
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.	26 και εμιανα αυτους εις τας προσφορας αυτων, εις το οτι διεβιβαζον δια του πυρος παν διανοιγον μητραν, δια να ερημωσω αυτους, ωστε να γνωρισωσιν οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.
27 Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;	27 Δια τουτο, υιε ανθρωπου, λαλησον προς τον οικον Ισραηλ και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? κατα τουτο οτι οι πατερες σας υβρισαν εις εμε, καμνοντες παραβασιν εναντιον μου.
28 And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.	28 Διοτι αφου εφερα αυτους εις την γην, περι της οποιας υψωσα την χειρα μου οτι θελω δωσει αυτην εις αυτους, τοτε ενεβλεψαν εις παντα λοφον υψηλον και εις παν δενδρον κατασκιον, και εκει προσεφεραν τας θυσιας αυτων και εστησαν εκει τας παροργιστικας προσφορας αυτων, και εθεσαν εκει οσμην ευωδιας αυτων και εκαμον εκει τας σπονδας αυτων.
29 And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.	29 Και ειπα προς αυτους, Τι δηλοι ο υψηλος τοπος, εις τον οποιον σεις υπαγετε; και το ονομα αυτου εκληθη Βαμα, εως της σημερον.
30 Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.	30 Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ενω σεις μιαινεσθε εν τη οδω των πατερων σας και εκπορνευετε κατοπιν των βδελυγματων αυτων
31 And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.	31 και μιαινεσθε με παντα τα ειδωλα σας εως της σημερον, προσφεροντες τα δωρα σας, διαβιβαζοντες τους υιους σας δια του πυρος, και εγω θελω επερωτηθη απο σας, οικος Ισραηλ; Ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, δεν θελω επερωτηθη απο σας.
32 Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.	32 Και εκεινο το οποιον διαβουλευεσθε, ουδολως θελει γεινει? διοτι σεις λεγετε, Θελομεν εισθαι ως τα εθνη, ως αι οικογενειαι των τοπων, εις το να λατρευωμεν ξυλα και λιθους.
33 As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.	33 Ζω εγω, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, εξαπαντος εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι εξηπλωμενω και εν θυμω εκχεομενω θελω βασιλευσει εφ' υμας.
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.	34 Και θελω σας εξαγαγει εκ των λαων και θελω σας συναξει εκ των τοπων, εις τους οποιους εισθε διεσκορπισμενοι, εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι εξηπλωμενω και εν θυμω εκχεομενω.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face.	35 Και θελω σας φερει εις την ερημον των λαων και εκει θελω κριθη με σας προσωπον προς προσωπον?
36 As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God.	36 καθως εκριθην με τους πατερας σας εν τη ερημω της γης Αιγυπτου, ουτω θελω σας κρινει, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.
37 And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant.	37 Και θελω σας περασει υπο την ραβδον και θελω σας φερει εις τους δεσμους της διαθηκης.
38 And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.	38 Και θελω εκκαθαρισει εκ μεσου υμων τους αποστατας και τους ασεβησαντας εις εμε? θελω εκβαλει αυτους εκ της γης της παροικιας αυτων και δεν θελουσιν εισελθει εις γην Ισραηλ, και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.
39 And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;	39 Σεις δε, οικος Ισραηλ, ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Υπαγετε, λατρευετε εκαστος τα ειδωλα αυτου, και του λοιπου, εαν δεν θελητε να μου ακουητε? και μη βεβηλονετε πλεον το ονομα μου το αγιον με τα δωρα σας και με τα ειδωλα σας.
40 In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.	40 Διοτι επι του ορους του αγιου μου, επι του υψηλου ορους του Ισραηλ, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, εκει πας ο οικος του Ισραηλ, παντες οι εν τη γη θελουσι με λατρευσει? εκει θελω δεχθη αυτους και εκει θελω ζητησει τας προσφορας σας και τας απαρχας των δωρων σας με παντα τα αγια σας.
41 I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.	41 Θελω σας δεχθη με οσμην ευωδιας, οταν σας εξαγαγω εκ των λαων και σας συναξω εκ των τοπων εις τους οποιους διεσκορπισθητε? και θελω αγιασθη εις εσας ενωπιον των εθνων.
42 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.	42 Και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν σας φερω εις γην Ισραηλ, εις γην περι της οποιας υψωσα την χειρα μου οτι θελω δωσει αυτην εις τους πατερας σας.
43 And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.	43 Και εκει θελετε ενθυμηθη τας οδους σας και παντα τα εργα σας, εις τα οποια εμιανθητε? και θελετε αποστραφη αυτοι εαυτους εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σας, δια παντα τα κακα σας οσα επραξατε.
44 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name's sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.	44 Και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, οταν καμω ουτως εις εσας ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, ουχι κατα τας πονηρας οδους σας ουδε κατα τα διεφθαρμενα εργα σας, οικος Ισραηλ, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.
45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying :	45 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,
46 Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.	46 Υιε ανθρωπου, στηριξον το προσωπον σου προς μεσημβριαν και σταλαξον λογον προς μεσημβριαν και προφητευσον κατα του δασους της μεσημβρινης πεδιαδος?
47 And any to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the dame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.	47 και ειπε προς το δασος της μεσημβριας, Ακουσον τον λογον του Κυριου? Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Ιδου, εγω θελω αναψει πυρ εν σοι, και θελει καταφαγει εν σοι παν δενδρον χλωρον και παν δενδρον ξηρον? η φλοξ η εξαφθεισα δεν θελει σβεσθη, και παν προσωπον απο μεσημβριας μεχρι βορρα θελει καυθη εν αυτω.
48 And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.	48 Και πασα σαρξ θελει ιδει, οτι εγω ο Κυριος εξεκαυσα αυτο? δεν θελει σβεσθη.
49 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?	49 Και εγω ειπα, Φευ Κυριε Θεε αυτοι λεγουσι περι εμου, δεν λαλει ουτος παροιμιας;
