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 ει κρινεις την πολιν των αιματων και παραδειξον αυτη πασας τας ανομιας αυτης	2 “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
3 και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ω πολις εκχεουσα αιματα εν μεσω αυτης του ελθειν καιρον αυτης και ποιουσα ενθυμηματα καθ' αυτης του μιαινειν αυτην	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 εν τοις αιμασιν αυτων οις εξεχεας παραπεπτωκας και εν τοις ενθυμημασιν σου οις εποιεις εμιαινου και ηγγισας τας ημερας σου και ηγαγες καιρον ετων σου δια τουτο δεδωκα σε εις ονειδος τοις εθνεσιν και εις εμπαιγμον πασαις ταις χωραις	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 ταις εγγιζουσαις προς σε και ταις μακραν απεχουσαις απο σου και εμπαιξονται εν σοι ακαθαρτος η ονομαστη και πολλη εν ταις ανομιαις	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 αφηγουμενοι οικου ισραηλ εκαστος προς τους συγγενεις αυτου συνανεφυροντο εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν αιμα	6 Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
7 πατερα και μητερα εκακολογουν εν σοι και προς τον προσηλυτον ανεστρεφοντο εν αδικιαις εν σοι ορφανον και χηραν κατεδυναστευον εν σοι	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 και τα αγια μου εξουδενουν και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν εν σοι	8 You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.
9 ανδρες λησται εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν εν σοι αιμα και επι των ορεων ησθοσαν εν σοι ανοσια εποιουν εν μεσω σου	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 αισχυνην πατρος απεκαλυψαν εν σοι και εν ακαθαρσιαις αποκαθημενην εταπεινουν εν σοι	10 They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
11 εκαστος την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου ηνομουσαν και εκαστος την νυμφην αυτου εμιαινεν εν ασεβεια και εκαστος την αδελφην αυτου θυγατερα του πατρος αυτου εταπεινουν εν σοι	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 δωρα ελαμβανοσαν εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν αιμα τοκον και πλεονασμον ελαμβανοσαν εν σοι και συνετελεσω συντελειαν κακιας σου την εν καταδυναστεια εμου δε επελαθου λεγει κυριος	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 εαν δε παταξω χειρα μου προς χειρα μου εφ' οις συντετελεσαι οις εποιησας και επι τοις αιμασιν σου τοις γεγενημενοις 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 ει υποστησεται η καρδια σου ει κρατησουσιν αι χειρες σου εν ταις ημεραις αις εγω ποιω εν σοι εγω κυριος λελαληκα και ποιησω	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 διασκορπιω σε εν τοις εθνεσιν και διασπερω σε εν ταις χωραις και εκλειψει η ακαθαρσια σου εκ 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 κατακληρονομησω εν σοι κατ' οφθαλμους των εθνων και γνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος	16 And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 υιε ανθρωπου ιδου γεγονασι μοι ο οικος ισραηλ αναμεμειγμενοι παντες χαλκω και σιδηρω και κασσιτερω και μολιβω εν μεσω αργυριου αναμεμειγμενος εστιν	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 ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ' ων εγενεσθε παντες εις συγκρασιν μιαν δια τουτο εγω εισδεχομαι υμας εις μεσον 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 εισδεχεται αργυρος και χαλκος και σιδηρος και κασσιτερος και μολιβος εις μεσον καμινου του εκφυσησαι εις αυτο πυρ του χωνευθηναι ουτως εισδεξομαι υμας εν οργη μου και συναξω και χωνευσω υμας	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 και εκφυσησω εφ' υμας εν πυρι οργης μου και χωνευθησεσθε εν 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 ον τροπον χωνευεται αργυριον εν μεσω καμινου ουτως χωνευθησεσθε εν μεσω αυτης και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εξεχεα τον θυμον 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 εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων	23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 υιε ανθρωπου ειπον αυτη συ ει γη η ου βρεχομενη ουδε υετος εγενετο επι σε εν ημερα οργης	24 “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
25 ης οι αφηγουμενοι εν μεσω αυτης ως λεοντες ωρυομενοι αρπαζοντες αρπαγματα ψυχας κατεσθιοντες εν δυναστεια τιμας λαμβανοντες εν αδικια και αι χηραι σου επληθυνθησαν εν μεσω σου	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 και οι ιερεις αυτης ηθετησαν νομον μου και εβεβηλουν τα αγια μου ανα μεσον αγιου και βεβηλου ου διεστελλον και ανα μεσον ακαθαρτου και του καθαρου ου διεστελλον και απο των σαββατων μου παρεκαλυπτον τους οφθαλμους αυτων 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 εν μεσω αυτης ως λυκοι αρπαζοντες αρπαγματα του εκχεαι αιμα οπως πλεονεξια πλεονεκτωσιν	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 αλειφοντες αυτους πεσουνται ορωντες ματαια μαντευομενοι ψευδη λεγοντες ταδε λεγει κυριος και κυριος ου λελαληκεν	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 λαον της γης εκπιεζουντες αδικια και διαρπαζοντες αρπαγματα πτωχον και πενητα καταδυναστευοντες και προς τον προσηλυτον ουκ αναστρεφομενοι μετα κριματος	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 εζητουν εξ αυτων ανδρα αναστρεφομενον ορθως και εστωτα προ προσωπου μου ολοσχερως εν καιρω της γης του μη εις τελος εξαλειψαι αυτην και ουχ ευρον	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 και εξεχεα επ' αυτην θυμον μου εν πυρι οργης μου του συντελεσαι τας οδους αυτων εις κεφαλας αυτων δεδωκα λεγει κυριος κυριος	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.”
