ΙΕΖΕΚΙΗΛ - Ezechiele - Ezekiel 15

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 και συ υιε ανθρωπου τι αν γενοιτο το ξυλον της αμπελου εκ παντων των ξυλων των κληματων των οντων εν τοις ξυλοις του δρυμου	2 “Son of man, what can be made from the stalk of a vine, compared to all the plants of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
3 ει λημψονται εξ αυτης ξυλον του ποιησαι εις εργασιαν ει λημψονται εξ αυτης πασσαλον του κρεμασαι επ' αυτον παν σκευος	3 Can any wood be taken from it, so that it may be made into a work, or formed into a peg so as to hang some kind of vessel upon it?
4 παρεξ πυρι δεδοται εις αναλωσιν την κατ' ενιαυτον καθαρσιν απ' αυτης αναλισκει το πυρ και εκλειπει εις τελος μη χρησιμον εσται εις εργασιαν	4 Behold, it is used in the fire as fuel. The fire consumes both its ends; and its middle is reduced to ashes. So how can it be useful for any work?
5 ουδε ετι αυτου οντος ολοκληρου ουκ εσται εις εργασιαν μη οτι εαν και πυρ αυτο αναλωση εις τελος ει εσται ετι εις εργασιαν	5 Even when it was whole, it was unsuitable for a work. How much more so, when fire has devoured it and burned it up, will nothing of it be useful?
6 δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ον τροπον το ξυλον της αμπελου εν τοις ξυλοις του δρυμου ο δεδωκα αυτο τω πυρι εις αναλωσιν ουτως δεδωκα τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ	6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Like the stalk of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I have given to be devoured by fire, so will I deliver the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 και δωσω το προσωπον μου επ' αυτους εκ του πυρος εξελευσονται και πυρ αυτους καταφαγεται και επιγνωσονται οτι εγω κυριος εν τω στηρισαι με το προσωπον μου επ' αυτους	7 And I will set my face against them. They will go away from fire, and yet fire will consume them. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have set my face against them,
8 και δωσω την γην εις αφανισμον ανθ' ων παρεπεσον παραπτωματι λεγει κυριος	8 and when I will have made their land impassable and desolate. For they have stood forth as transgressors, says the Lord God.”
