Ἰεζεκιήλ 12
1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
The LORD’s word also 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 dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t 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, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, 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
You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δῑ αὐτοῦ
Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
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
In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for 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
I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με τὸ πρωὶ λέγων
In the morning, the LORD’s word 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 house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to 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
“Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
11 εἰπὸν ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται
“Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
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
“‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
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
I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
14 καὶ πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ τοὺς βοηθοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀντιλαμβανομένους αὐτοῦ διασπερῶ εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν
I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
15 καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις
“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through 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 leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Moreover the LORD’s word 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 quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
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
Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20 καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται καὶ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος
The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
21 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
The LORD’s word 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, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, 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
Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ
For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination 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
For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
26 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Again the LORD’s word 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, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
