LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

1 Yahweh’s word also came to me, saying,

2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν σὺ κατοικεῖς, οἳ ἔχουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βλέπειν, καὶ οὐ βλέπουσι, καὶ ὦτα ἔχουσι τοῦ ἀκούειν, καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.

2 “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 σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, ὅπως ἴδωσι διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.

3 “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 σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας, ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

4 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 Διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ διεξελεύσῃ διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν·

5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.

6 ἐπʼ ὤμων ἀναληφθήσῃ, καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ, τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν, διότι τέρας δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.

6 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 αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας, καὶ ἑσπέρας διώρυξα ἐμαυτῷ τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξῆλθον, ἐπʼ ὤμων ἀνελήφθην ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

7 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 τοπρωῒ πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

8 In the morning, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐκ εἶπαν πρὸς σὲ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων, τί σὺ ποιεῖς;

9 “Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’

10 Εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτοὺς, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ὁ ἄρχων καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ, οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,

10 “Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’

11 εἰπὸν, ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα, οὕτως ἔσται αὐτῷ· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται.

11 “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 αὐτων ἐπʼ ὤμων ἀρθήσεται, καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσεται διὰ τοῦ τοίχου, καὶ διορύξει τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν διʼ αὐτοῦ, τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ συγκαλύψει, ὅπως μὴ ὁραθῇ ὀφθαλμῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν γῆν οὐκ ὄψεται.

12 “‘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 ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ συλληφθήσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ μου, καὶ ἄξω αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων, καὶ αὐτὴν οὐκ ὄψεται, καὶ ἐκεῖ τελευτήσει.

13 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.

14 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 ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις.

15 “‘They will know that I am Yahweh 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.

16 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 Yahweh.’”

17 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

17 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὸν ἄρτον σου μετὰ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι, καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι.

18 “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 Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτῶν μετὰ ἐνδείας φάγονται, καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀφανισμοῦ πίονται, ὅπως ἀφανισθῇ ἡ γῆ σὺν πληρώματι αὐτῆς· ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ γὰρ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ.

19 Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord Yahweh 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.

20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

21 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

21 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τίς ἡ παραβολὴ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, λέγοντες, μακραὶ αἱ ἡμέραι, ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις;

22 “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 Διατοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς, ἡγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι, καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως.

23 Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord Yahweh 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 Ἰσραήλ.

24 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.

25 For I am Yahweh. 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 Yahweh.’”

26 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

26 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὁ παραπικραίνων, λέγοντες λέγουσιν, ἡ ὅρασις ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ, εἰς ἡμέρας πολλὰς, καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει.

27 “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 Διατοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτοὺς, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος.

28 “Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
