¹

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

¹

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, thou, son of man, say,

²

καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ γῇ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· πέρας ἥκει, τὸ πέρας ἥκει ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας πτέρυγας τῆς γῆς.

²

Thus saith the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.

³

ἥκει τὸ πέρας

³

The end is come

⁴

ἐπὶ σὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν, ἥκει ὁ καιρός, ἤγγικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, οὐ μετὰ θορύβων οὐδὲ μετὰ ὠδίνων.

⁴

on thee, the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn nigh, not with tumult, nor with pangs.

⁵

νῦν ἐγγύθεν ἐκχεῶ τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ συντελέσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐν σοὶ καὶ κρινῶ σε ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου καὶ δώσω ἐπὶ σὲ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου·

⁵

Now I will pour out mine anger upon thee near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on thee: and I will judge thee for thy ways, and recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

⁶

οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω, διότι τὰς ὁδούς σου ἐπὶ σὲ δώσω, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματά σου ἐν μέσῳ σου ἔσονται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ τύπτων.

⁶

Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord that smite thee.

⁷

νῦν τὸ πέρας πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἀποστελῶ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐκδικήσω σε ἐν ταῖς ὀδοῖς σου καὶ δώσω ἐπὶ σὲ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματά σου·

⁷

Now the end is come to thee, and I will send judgment upon thee: and I will take vengeance on thy ways, and will recompense all thine abominations upon thee.

⁸

οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ σέ, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω, διότι τὴν ὁδόν σου ἐπὶ σὲ δώσω, καὶ τὰ βδελύγματά σου ἐν μέσῳ σου ἔσται· καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος·

⁸

Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense thy way upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

⁹

διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος·

⁹

For thus saith the Lord; Behold, the end is come.

¹⁰

ἰδοὺ τὸ πέρας ἥκει, ἰδοὺ ἡμέρα Κυρίου· εἰ καὶ ἡ ράβδος ἤνθηκεν, ἡ ὕβρις ἐξανέστηκε.

¹⁰

Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,

¹¹

καί συντρίψει στήριγμα ἀνόμου καὶ οὐ μετὰ θορύβου οὐδὲ μετὰ σπουδῆς.

¹¹

pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and that not with tumult, nor with haste.

¹²

ἥκει ὁ καιρός, ἰδοὺ ἡ ἡμέρα· ὁ κτώμενος μὴ χαιρέτω, καὶ ὁ πωλῶν μὴ θρηνείτω·

¹²

The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.

¹³

διότι ὁ κτώμενος πρὸς τὸν πωλοῦντα οὐκέτι μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃ, καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν ὀφθαλμῷ ζωῆς αὐτοῦ οὐ κρατήσει.

¹³

For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye of hope to his life.

¹⁴

σαλπίσατε ἐν σάλπιγγι καὶ κρίνατε τὰ σύμπαντα.

¹⁴

Sound ye the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.

¹⁵

ὁ πόλεμος ἐν ρομφαίᾳ ἔξωθεν, καὶ ὁ λιμὸς καὶ ὁ θάνατος ἔσωθεν· ὁ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει, τοὺς δ᾿ ἐν τῇ πόλει λιμὸς καὶ θάνατος συντελέσει.

¹⁵

There shall be war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.

¹⁶

καὶ ἀνασωθήσονται οἱ ἀνασῳζόμενοι ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔσονται ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων· πάντας ἀποκτενῶ, ἕκαστον ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτοῦ.

¹⁶

But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will slay all the rest, every one for his iniquities.

¹⁷

πᾶσαι χεῖρες ἐκλυθήσονται, καὶ πάντες μηροὶ μολυνθήσονται ὑγρασίᾳ,

¹⁷

All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.

¹⁸

καὶ περιζώσονται σάκκους, καὶ καλύψει αὐτοὺς θάμβος, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν πρόσωπον αἰσχύνη ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν φαλάκρωμα.

¹⁸

And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, even upon every face, and baldness upon every head.

¹⁹

τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν ριφήσεται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις, καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν ὑπεροφθήσεται· αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσι, καὶ αἱ κοιλίαι αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ πληρωθῶσι, διότι βάσανος τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ἐγένετο.

¹⁹

Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.

²⁰

ἐκλεκτὰ κόσμου εἰς ὑπερηφανίαν ἔθεντο αὐτὰ καὶ εἰκόνας τῶν βδελυγμάτων αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν ἐξ αὐτῶν· ἕνεκεν τούτου δέδωκα αὐτὰ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἀκαθαρσίαν,

²⁰

As for their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.

²¹

καὶ παραδώσω αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ διαρπάσαι αὐτὰ καὶ τοῖς λοιμοῖς τῆς γῆς εἰς σκῦλα, καὶ βεβηλώσουσιν αὐτά.

²¹

And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.

²²

καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ μιανοῦσι τὴν ἐπισκοπήν μου καὶ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς αὐτὰ ἀφυλάκτως καὶ βεβηλώσουσιν αὐτά·

²²

And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.

²³

καὶ ποιήσουσι φυρμόν, διότι ἡ γῆ πλήρης λαῶν, καὶ ἡ πόλις πλήρης ἀνομίας.

²³

And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.

²⁴

καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὸ φρύαγμα τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῶν, καὶ μιανθήσεται τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν.

²⁴

And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.

²⁵

ἐξιλασμὸς ἥξει καὶ ζητήσει εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται.

²⁵

And though propitiation shall come, and one shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.

²⁶

οὐαὶ ἐπὶ οὐαὶ ἔσται, καὶ ἀγγελία ἐπὶ ἀγγελίαν ἔσται, καὶ ζητηθήσεται ὅρασις ἐκ προφήτου, καὶ νόμος ἀπολεῖται ἐξ ἱερέως καὶ βουλὴ ἐκ πρεσβυτέρων.

²⁶

There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

²⁷

ἄρχων ἐνδύσεται ἀφανισμόν, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς παραλυθήσονται· κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν ποιήσω αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐν τοῖς κρίμασιν αὐτῶν ἐκδικήσω αὐτούς· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

²⁷

The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
