Ἰεζεκιήλ 33
1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς γῆ ἐφ’ ἣν ἂν ἐπάγω ῥομφαίαν καὶ λάβῃ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἄνθρωπον ἕνα ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ δῶσιν αὐτὸν ἑαυτοῖς εἰς σκοπόν
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man out of their whole number, and set him for their watchman,
3 καὶ ἴδῃ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἐρχομένην ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ σαλπίσῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι καὶ σημάνῃ τῷ λαῷ
and he seeth the sword coming on the land, and bloweth the trumpet, and warneth the people,
4 καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούσας τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος καὶ μὴ φυλάξηται καὶ ἐπέλθῃ ἡ ῥομφαία καὶ καταλάβῃ αὐτόν τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται
then whoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, and the sword cometh and taketh him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 ὅτι τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος ἀκούσας οὐκ ἐφυλάξατο τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ ἔσται καὶ οὗτος ὅτι ἐφυλάξατο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐξείλατο
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning. His blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall save his life.
6 καὶ ὁ σκοπός ἐὰν ἴδῃ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἐρχομένην καὶ μὴ σημάνῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι καὶ ὁ λαὸς μὴ φυλάξηται καὶ ἐλθοῦσα ἡ ῥομφαία λάβῃ ἐξ αὐτῶν ψυχήν αὕτη διὰ τὴν αὑτῆς ἀνομίαν ἐλήμφθη καὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ σκοποῦ ἐκζητήσω
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come and take away any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου σκοπὸν δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ στόματός μου λόγον
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel, that thou shouldst hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ καὶ μὴ λαλήσῃς τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς ὁ ἄνομος τῇ ἀνομίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται τὸ δὲ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἐκζητήσω
When I say to the wicked, “O wicked man, thou shalt surely die!” and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.
9 σὺ δὲ ἐὰν προαπαγγείλῃς τῷ ἀσεβεῖ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπ’ αὐτῆς καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ οὗτος τῇ ἀσεβείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ σὺ τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ ἐξῄρησαι
Yet if thou warn the wicked of his way, to turn from it, and he turneth not from his way, he shall die for his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thyself.
10 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ οὕτως ἐλαλήσατε λέγοντες αἱ πλάναι ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν εἰσιν καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἡμεῖς τηκόμεθα καὶ πῶς ζησόμεθα
Thou, therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Rightly do ye say, “Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them we pine away. How then can we live?”
11 εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς ζῶ ἐγώ τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐ βούλομαι τὸν θάνατον τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς ὡς τὸ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζῆν αὐτόν ἀποστροφῇ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ ἵνα τί ἀποθνῄσκετε οἶκος Ισραηλ
Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways! for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12 εἰπὸν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ σου δικαιοσύνη δικαίου οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ πλανηθῇ καὶ ἀνομία ἀσεβοῦς οὐ μὴ κακώσῃ αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ δίκαιος οὐ μὴ δύνηται σωθῆναι
Thou also, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and through his wickedness shall not the wicked man fall in the day when he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live in the day when he sinneth.
13 ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ δικαίῳ οὗτος πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ ἀνομίαν πᾶσαι αἱ δικαιοσύναι αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτοῦ ᾗ ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποθανεῖται
When I say concerning the righteous, “He shall surely live,” and he trusteth in his righteousness, and doeth iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered, but for his iniquity which he hath committed shall he die.
14 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ ἀσεβεῖ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην
Again, when I say concerning the wicked, “He shall surely die,” and he turneth from his sin, and doeth that which is just and right,
15 καὶ ἐνεχύρασμα ἀποδῷ καὶ ἅρπαγμα ἀποτείσῃ ἐν προστάγμασιν ζωῆς διαπορεύηται τοῦ μὴ ποιῆσαι ἄδικον ζωῇ ζήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ
and the wicked restoreth the pledge, giveth back that which he hath taken by violence, and walketh in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16 πᾶσαι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτοῦ ἃς ἥμαρτεν οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν ὅτι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ζήσεται
None of his sins which he hath committed shall be mentioned to him; he hath done that which is just and right; he shall surely live.
17 καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς τοῦ κυρίου καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα
And yet the sons of thy people say, “The way of the Lord is not right!” But it is their way which is not right.
18 ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι δίκαιον ἀπὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ ἀνομίας καὶ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν αὐταῖς
When the righteous man turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he dieth because of it.
19 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς ζήσεται
And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth that which is just and right, he shall live thereby.
20 καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ εἴπατε οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς κυρίου ἕκαστον ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ κρινῶ ὑμᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ
And yet ye say, “The way of the Lord is not right!” O house of Israel, I will judge you every one according to his ways!
21 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνὶ πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμῶν ἦλθεν ὁ ἀνασωθεὶς πρός με ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ λέγων ἑάλω ἡ πόλις
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city is smitten!”
22 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπ’ ἐμὲ χεὶρ κυρίου ἑσπέρας πρὶν ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤνοιξέν μου τὸ στόμα ἕως ἦλθεν πρός με τὸ πρωί καὶ ἀνοιχθέν μου τὸ στόμα οὐ συνεσχέθη ἔτι
Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening before he that had escaped came; and he opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; he opened my mouth, so that I was no longer dumb.
23 καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς ἠρημωμένας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ισραηλ λέγουσιν εἷς ἦν Αβρααμ καὶ κατέσχεν τὴν γῆν καὶ ἡμεῖς πλείους ἐσμέν ἡμῖν δέδοται ἡ γῆ εἰς κατάσχεσιν
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes in the land of Israel say, “Abraham was but one, and he inherited the land; but we are many; to us is the land given for an inheritance.”
25 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and life up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?
Ye trust to your swords, ye commit abomination, and ye defile, every one, his neighbor's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
27 ζῶ ἐγώ εἰ μὴν οἱ ἐν ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ πεδίου τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ δοθήσονται εἰς κατάβρωμα καὶ τοὺς ἐν ταῖς τετειχισμέναις καὶ τοὺς ἐν τοῖς σπηλαίοις θανάτῳ ἀποκτενῶ
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open country will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the forts and caves shall fall by the pestilence.
28 καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ἔρημον καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ισραηλ διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι διαπορευόμενον
And I will make the land an utter desolation; and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
29 καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος καὶ ποιήσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἔρημον καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται διὰ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν
Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land an utter desolation, on account of all the abominations which they practise.
30 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου οἱ λαλοῦντες περὶ σοῦ παρὰ τὰ τείχη καὶ ἐν τοῖς πυλῶσι τῶν οἰκιῶν καὶ λαλοῦσιν ἄνθρωπος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες συνέλθωμεν καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα παρὰ κυρίου
As for thee, O son of man, the sons of thy people speak concerning thee by the walls, and in the doors of houses; and speak one to another, every man to his neighbor, saying, “Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that goeth forth from Jehovah.”
31 ἔρχονται πρὸς σέ ὡς συμπορεύεται λαός καὶ κάθηνται ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἀκούουσιν τὰ ῥήματά σου καὶ αὐτὰ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν ὅτι ψεῦδος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν μιασμάτων ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν
And they come to thee, as the people assembleth, and they sit before thee, as my people, and they hear thy words: but will not do them; for with their mouth they do what is lovely, but their heart goeth after gain.
32 καὶ γίνῃ αὐτοῖς ὡς φωνὴ ψαλτηρίου ἡδυφώνου εὐαρμόστου καὶ ἀκούσονταί σου τὰ ῥήματα καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά
And behold, thou art to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but do them not.
33 καὶ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔλθῃ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ἥκει καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης ἦν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν
But when this cometh to pass, (and behold, it shall come to pass, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
