LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐννάτῳ, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς, λέγων,

1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου γράψον σεαυτῷ εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ἀφʼ ἧς ἀπηρείσατο βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς σήμερον·

2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.

3 Καὶ εἰπὸν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα παραβολήν, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐπίστησον τὸν λέβητα, καὶ ἔγχεον εἰς αὐτὸν ὕδωρ,

3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.

4 καὶ ἔμβαλε εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ διχοτομήματα, πᾶν διχοτόμημα καλὸν, σκέλος καὶ ὦμον ἐκσεσαρκισμένα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀστῶν,

4 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.

5 ἐξ ἐπιλέκτων κτηνῶν εἰλημμένων· καὶ ὑπόκαιε τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν, ἔζεσε καὶ ἥψηται τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”

6 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων, λέβης, ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἰὸς ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ ἰὸς οὐκ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτῆς, κατὰ μέλος αὐτῆς ἐξήνεγκεν, οὐκ ἐπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν κλῆρος.

6 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.

7 Ὅτι αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐστιν, ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν τέταχα αὐτό· οὐκ ἐκκέχυκα αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, τοῦ καλύψαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸ γῆν,

7 “‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

8 τοῦ ἀναβῆναι θυμὸν εἰς ἐκδίκησιν ἐκδικηθῆναι· δέδωκα τὸ αἷμα αὐτῆς ἐπὶ λεωπετρίαν, τοῦ μὴ καλύψαι αὐτό.

8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”

9 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κᾀγὼ μεγαλυνῶ τὸν δαλόν·

9 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.

10 Καὶ πληθυνῶ τὰ ξύλα, καὶ ἀνακαύσω τὸ πῦρ, ὅπως τακῇ τὰ κρέα, καὶ ἐλαττωθῇ ὁ ζωμὸς,

10 Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burned.

11 καὶ στῇ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνθρακας, ὅπως προσκαυθῇ καὶ θερμανθῇ ὁ χαλκὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ τακῇ ἐν μέσῳ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκλίπῃ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς,

11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.

12 καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτῆς πολὺς ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς. Καταισχυνθήσεται ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῆς,

12 She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.

13 ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐμιαίνου σύ· καὶ τί ἐὰν μὴ καθαρισθῇς ἔτι ἕως οὗ ἐμπλήσω τὸν θυμόν μου;

13 “‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

14 Ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα, καὶ ἥξει, καὶ ποιήσω, οὐ διαστελῶ, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω· κατὰ τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε, λέγει Κύριος· διατοῦτο ἐγὼ κρινῶ σε κατὰ τὰ αἵματά σου, καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐνθυμήματά σου κρινῶ σε, ἡ ἀκάθαρτος, ἡ ὀνομαστὴ, καὶ πολλὴ τοῦ παραπικραίνειν.

14 “‘“I, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

15 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

15 Also Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

16 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐκ σοῦ τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἐν παρατάξει, οὐ μὴ κοπῇς, οὐδʼ οὐ μὴ κλαυσθῇς,

16 “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

17 στεναγμὸς αἵματος, ὀσφύος πένθος ἔσῃ· οὐκ ἔσται τὸ τρίχωμά σου συμπεπλεγμένον ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ τὰ ὑοιδήματά σου ἐν τοῖς ποσί σου· οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇς ἐν χείλεσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ μὴ φάγῃς.

17 Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”

18 Καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοπρωῒ, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατὸ μοι ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐποίησα τοπρωῒ, ὃν τρόπον ἐπετάγη μοι.

18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.

19 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ ὁ λαὸς, οὐκ ἀναγγέλλεις ἡμῖν τί ἐστι ταῦτα ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς;

19 The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”

20 Καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

20 Then I said to them, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

21 εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ βεβηλῶ τὰ ἅγιά μου, φρύαγμα ἰσχύος ὑμῶν, ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ὑπὲρ ὧν φείδονται αἱ ψυχαὶ ὑμῶν· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, οὓς ἐγκατελίπετε, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται.

21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

22 Καὶ ποιήσετε ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα· ἀπὸ στόματος αὐτῶν οὐ παρακληθήσεσθε, καὶ ἄρτον ἀνδρῶν οὐ φάγεσθε,

22 You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.

23 καὶ αἱ κόμαι ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν· οὔτε μὲ κόψησθε, οὔτε μὴ κλαύσητε, καὶ ἐντακήσεσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις ὑμῶν, καὶ παρακαλέσετε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.

23 Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

24 Καὶ ἔσται Ἰεζεκιὴλ ὑμῖν εἰς τέρας, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα ποιήσετε, ὅταν ἔλθῃ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

24 Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”’”

25 Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐχὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅταν λαμβάνω τὴν ἰσχὺν παρʼ αὐτῶν, τὴν ἔπαρσιν τῆς καυχήσεως αὐτῶν, τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν ἔπαρσιν ψυχῆς αὐτῶν, υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν,

25 “You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—

26 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἥξει ὁ ἀνασωζόμενος πρὸς σὲ, τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαί σοι εἰς τὰ ὦτα;

26 that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?

27 Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ διανοιχθήσεται τὸ στόμα σου πρὸς τὸν ἀνασωζόμενον· λαλήσεις, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποκωφωθῇς οὐκέτι, καὶ ἔσῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς τέρας, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
