Ezekiel 24
1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς λέγων
2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου γράψον σεαυτῷ εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἀφ’ ἧς ἀπηρείσατο βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς σήμερον
3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.
καὶ εἰπὸν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα παραβολὴν καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα καὶ ἔκχεον εἰς αὐτὸν ὕδωρ
4 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
καὶ ἔμβαλε εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ διχοτομήματα πᾶν διχοτόμημα καλόν σκέλος καὶ ὦμον ἐκσεσαρκισμένα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστῶν
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
ἐξ ἐπιλέκτων κτηνῶν εἰλημμένων καὶ ὑπόκαιε τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν ἔζεσεν ἔζεσεν καὶ ἥψηται τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς
6 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων λέβης ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἰὸς ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ὁ ἰὸς οὐκ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτῆς κατὰ μέλος αὐτῆς ἐξήνεγκεν οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν κλῆρος
7 “‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
ὅτι αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐστιν ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν τέταχα αὐτό οὐκ ἐκκέχυκα αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ καλύψαι ἐπ’ αὐτὸ γῆν
8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”
τοῦ ἀναβῆναι θυμὸν εἰς ἐκδίκησιν ἐκδικηθῆναι δέδωκα τὸ αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν τοῦ μὴ καλύψαι αὐτό
9 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος κἀγὼ μεγαλυνῶ τὸν δαλὸν
10 Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burned.
καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ ξύλα καὶ ἀνακαύσω τὸ πῦρ ὅπως τακῇ τὰ κρέα καὶ ἐλαττωθῇ ὁ ζωμὸς
11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
καὶ στῇ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνθρακας ὅπως προσκαυθῇ καὶ θερμανθῇ ὁ χαλκὸς αὐτῆς καὶ τακῇ ἐν μέσῳ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκλίπῃ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς
12 She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, does not leave her.
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτῆς πολὺς ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς καταισχυνθήσεται ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς
13 “‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you were not cleansed, you will not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐμιαίνου σύ καὶ τί ἐὰν μὴ καθαρισθῇς ἔτι ἕως οὗ ἐμπλήσω τὸν θυμόν μου
14 “‘“I, the LORD, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will not spare. I will not repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ἥξει καὶ ποιήσω οὐ διαστελῶ οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω κατὰ τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε λέγει κύριος διὰ τοῦτο ἐγὼ κρινῶ σε κατὰ τὰ αἵματά σου καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε ἡ ἀκάθαρτος ἡ ὀνομαστὴ καὶ πολλὴ τοῦ παραπικραίνειν
15 Also the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
16 “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐκ σοῦ τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἐν παρατάξει οὐ μὴ κοπῇς οὐδὲ μὴ κλαυσθῇς
17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Do not cover your lips, and do not eat mourner’s bread.”
στεναγμὸς αἵματος ὀσφύος πένθους ἐστίν οὐκ ἔσται τὸ τρίχωμά σου συμπεπλεγμένον ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματά σου ἐν τοῖς ποσίν σου οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇς ἐν χείλεσιν αὐτῶν καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ μὴ φάγῃς
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τὸ πρωὶ ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατό μοι καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἡ γυνή μου ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐποίησα τὸ πρωὶ ὃν τρόπον ἐπετάγη μοι
19 The people asked me, “Will not you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ὁ λαός οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖς ἡμῖν τί ἐστιν ταῦτα ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς
20 Then I said to them, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς λόγος κυρίου πρός με ἐγένετο λέγων
21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.
εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ βεβηλῶ τὰ ἅγιά μου φρύαγμα ἰσχύος ὑμῶν ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ὑπὲρ ὧν φείδονται αἱ ψυχαὶ ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν οὓς ἐγκατελίπετε ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται
22 You will do as I have done. You will not cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
καὶ ποιήσετε ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτῶν οὐ παρακληθήσεσθε καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ φάγεσθε
23 Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
καὶ αἱ κόμαι ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν οὔτε μὴ κόψησθε οὔτε μὴ κλαύσητε καὶ ἐντακήσεσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις ὑμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσετε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ
24 Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”’”
καὶ ἔσται Ιεζεκιηλ ὑμῖν εἰς τέρας κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν ποιήσετε ὅταν ἔλθῃ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος
25 “You, son of man, should not it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οὐχὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅταν λαμβάνω τὴν ἰσχὺν παρ’ αὐτῶν τὴν ἔπαρσιν τῆς καυχήσεως αὐτῶν τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἔπαρσιν ψυχῆς αὐτῶν υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν
26 that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἥξει ὁ ἀνασῳζόμενος πρὸς σὲ τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαί σοι εἰς τὰ ὦτα
27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ διανοιχθήσεται τὸ στόμα σου πρὸς τὸν ἀνασῳζόμενον καὶ λαλήσεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποκωφωθῇς οὐκέτι καὶ ἔσῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς τέρας καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ κύριος
