Ἰεζεκιήλ 28
1 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 Υιέ ανθρώπου, ειπέ προς τον ηγεμόνα της Τύρου, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Επειδή υψώθη η καρδία σου και είπας, Εγώ είμαι θεός, επί της καθέδρας του Θεού κάθημαι, εν τη καρδία των θαλασσών· ενώ είσαι άνθρωπος αλλ' ουχί Θεός· και έκαμες την καρδίαν σου ως καρδίαν Θεού·
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 ιδού, συ είσαι σοφώτερος του Δανιήλ· ουδέν μυστήριον είναι κεκρυμμένον από σού·
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 διά της σοφίας σου και διά της συνέσεώς σου έκαμες εις σεαυτόν δύναμιν και απέκτησας εν τοις θησαυροίς σου χρυσίον και αργύριον·
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 διά της μεγάλης σοφίας σου ηύξησας τα πλούτη σου διά του εμπορίου, και η καρδία σου υψώθη διά την δύναμίν σου·
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 διά τούτο, ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Επειδή έκαμες την καρδίαν σου ως καρδίαν Θεού,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 ιδού, διά τούτο θέλω φέρει εναντίον σου ξένους, τους τρομερωτέρους των εθνών· και θέλουσιν εκσπάσει τα ξίφη αυτών κατά του κάλλους της σοφίας σου και θέλουσι μολύνει την λαμπρότητά σου.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Θέλουσι σε καταβιβάσει εις τον λάκκον, και θέλεις τελευτήσει με τον θάνατον των πεφονευμένων εν τη καρδία των θαλασσών.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Θέλεις λέγει έτι ενώπιον του φονεύοντός σε, Εγώ είμαι θεός, άνθρωπος ων και ουχί θεός, εν ταις χερσί του φονεύοντός σε;
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Θάνατον απεριτμήτων θέλεις θανατωθή διά χειρός των ξένων· διότι εγώ ελάλησα, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 Υιέ ανθρώπου, ανάλαβε θρήνον επί τον βασιλέα της Τύρου και ειπέ προς αυτόν, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Συ επεσφράγισας τα πάντα, είσαι πλήρης σοφίας και τέλειος εις κάλλος.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Εστάθης εν Εδέμ τω παραδείσω του Θεού· ήσο περιεσκεπασμένος υπό παντός λίθου τιμίου, υπό σαρδίου, τοπαζίου και αδάμαντος, βηρυλλίου, όνυχος και ιάσπεως, σαπφείρου, σμαράγδου και άνθρακος και χρυσίου· η υπηρεσία των τυμπάνων σου και των αυλών σου ήτο ητοιμασμένη διά σε την ημέραν καθ' ην εκτίσθης.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Ησο χερούβ κεχρισμένον, διά να επισκιάζης· και εγώ σε έστησα· ήσο εν τω όρει τω αγίω του Θεού· περιεπάτεις εν μέσω λίθων πυρίνων.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Ησο τέλειος εν ταις οδοίς σου αφ' ης ημέρας εκτίσθης, εωσού ευρέθη αδικία εν σοι.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Εκ του πλήθους του εμπορίου σου ενέπλησαν το μέσον σου από ανομίας και ήμαρτες· διά τούτο θέλω σε απορρίψει ως βέβηλον από του όρους του Θεού, και θέλω σε καταστρέψει εν μέσω των πυρίνων λίθων, χερούβ επισκιάζον.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Η καρδία σου υψώθη διά το κάλλος σου· έφθειρας την σοφίαν σου διά την λαμπρότητά σου· θέλω σε ρίψει κατά γής· θέλω σε εκθέσει ενώπιον των βασιλέων, διά να βλέπωσιν εις σε.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Εβεβήλωσας τα ιερά σου διά το πλήθος των αμαρτιών σου, διά τας αδικίας του εμπορίου σου· διά τούτο θέλω εκβάλει πυρ εκ μέσου σου, το οποίον θέλει σε καταφάγει· και θέλω σε καταστήσει σποδόν επί της γης, ενώπιον πάντων των βλεπόντων σε.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Πάντες οι γνωρίζοντές σε μεταξύ των λαών θέλουσιν εκπλαγή διά σέ· φρίκη θέλεις είσθαι και δεν θέλεις υπάρξει έως αιώνος.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Υιέ ανθρώπου, στήριξον το πρόσωπόν σου επί την Σιδώνα, και προφήτευσον κατ' αυτής
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 και ειπέ, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ιδού, εγώ είμαι εναντίον σου, Σιδών· και θέλω δοξασθή εν μέσω σου· και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος, όταν εκτελέσω κρίσεις εις αυτήν και αγιασθώ εν αυτή.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Διότι θέλω εξαποστείλει εις αυτήν θανατικόν και αίμα εν ταις οδοίς αυτής· και οι τετραυματισμένοι θέλουσι πέσει εν μέσω αυτής διά μαχαίρας ελθούσης επ' αυτήν κυκλόθεν· και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 Και δεν θέλει είσθαι πλέον εν τω οίκω Ισραήλ σκόλοψ πικρίας και άκανθα οδύνης εκ πάντων των πέριξ αυτών των καταφρονούντων αυτούς· και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι Κύριος ο Θεός.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Όταν συνάξω τον οίκον Ισραήλ εκ των λαών, μεταξύ των οποίων είναι διεσκορπισμένοι, και αγιασθώ εν αυτοίς ενώπιον των εθνών, τότε θέλουσι κατοικήσει εν τη γη αυτών, την οποίαν έδωκα εις τον δούλον μου τον Ιακώβ.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Και θέλουσι κατοικήσει εν αυτή εν ασφαλεία και θέλουσιν οικοδομήσει οικίας και φυτεύσει αμπελώνας· ναι, θέλουσι κατοικήσει εν ασφαλεία, όταν εκτελέσω κρίσεις επί πάντας τους καταφρονήσαντας αυτούς κυκλόθεν αυτών· και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι Κύριος ο Θεός αυτών.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
