Ἰεζεκιήλ 12
1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν σὺ κατοικεῖς οἳ ἔχουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βλέπειν καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν καὶ ὦτα ἔχουσιν τοῦ ἀκούειν καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσιν διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν
“Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
3 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὅπως ἴδωσιν διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν
Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4 καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος
Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δῑ αὐτοῦ
As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
6 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀναλημφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν διότι τέρας δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ
And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 καὶ ἐποίησα οὕτως κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατό μοι καὶ σκεύη ἐξήνεγκα ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας καὶ ἑσπέρας διώρυξα ἐμαυτῷ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξῆλθον ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀνελήμφθην ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν
So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
8 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με τὸ πρωὶ λέγων
And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ εἶπαν πρὸς σὲ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Ισραηλ οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων τί σὺ ποιεῖς
“Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος ὁ ἄρχων καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ παντὶ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’
11 εἰπὸν ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται
You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.
12 καὶ ὁ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀρθήσεται καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσεται διὰ τοῦ τοίχου καὶ διορύξει τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν δῑ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ συγκαλύψει ὅπως μὴ ὁραθῇ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν γῆν οὐκ ὄψεται
And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.
13 καὶ ἐκπετάσω τὸ δίκτυόν μου ἐπ’ αὐτόν καὶ συλλημφθήσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ μου καὶ ἄξω αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων καὶ αὐτὴν οὐκ ὄψεται καὶ ἐκεῖ τελευτήσει
But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
14 καὶ πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ τοὺς βοηθοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀντιλαμβανομένους αὐτοῦ διασπερῶ εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν
And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.
15 καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις
And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
16 καὶ ὑπολείψομαι ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρας ἀριθμῷ ἐκ ῥομφαίας καὶ ἐκ λιμοῦ καὶ ἐκ θανάτου ὅπως ἐκδιηγῶνται πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὗ εἰσήλθοσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος
But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
17 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τὸν ἄρτον σου μετ’ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι
“Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
19 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς τάδε λέγει κύριος τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ιερουσαλημ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ισραηλ τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτῶν μετ’ ἐνδείας φάγονται καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀφανισμοῦ πίονται ὅπως ἀφανισθῇ ἡ γῆ σὺν πληρώματι αὐτῆς ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ γὰρ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ
Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
20 καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται καὶ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος
The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
21 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τίς ὑμῖν ἡ παραβολὴ αὕτη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ισραηλ λέγοντες μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?
23 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσιν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ Ισραηλ ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς ἠγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως
Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.
24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ
For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,
25 διότι ἐγὼ κύριος λαλήσω τοὺς λόγους μου λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ μηκύνω ἔτι ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων λαλήσω λόγον καὶ ποιήσω λέγει κύριος
because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
26 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἰδοὺ οἶκος Ισραηλ ὁ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν ἡ ὅρασις ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει
“Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’
28 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου οὓς ἂν λαλήσω λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω λέγει κύριος
Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’”
