Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε σεαυτῷ πλίνθον, καὶ θήσεις αὐτὴν πρὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ διαγράψεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν πόλιν τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
1 “You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 Καὶ δώσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν περιοχὴν, καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν προμαχῶνας, καὶ περιβαλεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὴν χάρακα, καὶ δώσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν παρεμβολὰς, καὶ τάξεις τὰς βελοστάσεις κύκλῳ.
2 Lay siege against it, build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around.
3 Καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ τήγανον σιδηροῦν, καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ τοῖχον σιδηροῦν ἀναμέσον σου καὶ ἀναμέσον τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔσται ἐν συνκλεισμῷ, καὶ συγκλείσεις αὐτήν· σημεῖόν ἐστι τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.
3 Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face toward it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Καὶ σὺ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ ἀριστερὸν, καὶ θήσεις τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺ, κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἃς κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν.
4 “Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it. According to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5 Καὶ ἐγὼ δέδωκά σοι τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν, ἐννενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Καὶ συντελέσεις ταῦτα, καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ δεξιὸν, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰούδα τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν τέθεικά σοι.
6 “Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have appointed forty days, each day for a year, to you.
7 Καὶ εἰς τὸν συγκλεισμὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου στερεώσεις, καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
7 You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐπὶ σὲ δεσμοὺς, καὶ μὴ στραφῇς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου, ἕως οὗ συντελεσθῶσιν ἡμέραι τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ σου.
8 Behold, I put ropes on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9 Καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ πυροὺς, καὶ κριθὰς, καὶ κύαμον, καὶ φακὸν, καὶ κέγχρον, καὶ ὀλύραν, καὶ ἐμβαλεῖς αὐτὰ εἰς ἄγγος ἓν ὀστράνικον, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὰ σεαυτῷ εἰς ἄρτους· καὶ κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν, ἃς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπὶ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου, ἐννενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας φάγεσαι αὐτά.
9 “Take for yourself also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel. Make bread of it. According to the number of the days that you will lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 Καὶ τὸ βρῶμά σου φάγεσαι ἐν σταθμῷ, εἴκοσι σίκλους τὴν ἡμέραν, ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ φάγεσαι αὐτά.
10 Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 Καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ πίεσαι, καὶ τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ εἲν ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ πίεσαι.
11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 Καὶ ἐγκρυφίαν κρίθινον φάγεσαι αὐτὰ, ἐν βολβίτοις κόπρου ἀνθρωπίνης ἐγκρύψεις αὐτὰ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13 Καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οὕτως φάγονται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀκάθαρτα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
13 Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”
14 Καὶ εἶπα, μηδαμῶς Κύριε Θεὲ Ἰσραήλ· εἰ ἡ ψυχή μου οὐ μεμίανται ἐν ἀκαθαρσίᾳ, καὶ θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον οὐ βέβρωκα ἀπὸ γενέσεώς μου ἕως τοῦ νῦν, οὐδὲ εἰσελήλυθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου πᾶν κρέας ἕωλον.
14 Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals. No abominable meat has come into my mouth!”
15 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σοι βόλβιτα βοῶν ἀντὶ τῶν βολβίτων τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων, καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἄρτους σου ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.
15 Then he said to me, “Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”
16 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συντρίβω στήριγμα ἄρτου ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ φάγονται ἄρτον ἐν σταθμῷ καὶ ἐν ἐνδείᾳ, καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ, καὶ ἐν ἀφανισμῷ πίονται·
16 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem. They will eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness. They will drink water by measure, and in dismay;
17 Ὅπως ἐνδεεῖς γένωνται ἄρτου καὶ ὕδατος· καὶ ἀφανισθήσεται ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐντακήσονται ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν.
17 that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
