Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και ήλθον προς εμέ τινές εκ των πρεσβυτέρων του Ισραήλ και εκάθησαν έμπροσθέν μου.
1 Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
2 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
2 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
3 Υιέ ανθρώπου, οι άνδρες ούτοι ανεβίβασαν τα είδωλα αυτών εις τας καρδίας αυτών και έθεσαν το πρόσκομμα της ανομίας αυτών έμπροσθεν του προσώπου αυτών· ήθελον εκζητηθή τωόντι παρ' αυτών;
3 “Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
4 Διά τούτο λάλησον προς αυτούς και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· εις πάντα άνθρωπον εκ του οίκου Ισραήλ, όστις αναβιβάση τα είδωλα αυτού εις την καρδίαν αυτού και θέση το πρόσκομμα της ανομίας αυτού έμπροσθεν του προσώπου αυτού και έλθη προς τον προφήτην, εγώ ο Κύριος θέλω αποκριθή προς αυτόν ερχόμενον, κατά το πλήθος των ειδώλων αυτού·
4 Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face then comes to the prophet, I Yahweh will answer him there according to the multitude of his idols,
5 διά να πιάσω τον οίκον Ισραήλ από της καρδίας αυτών, επειδή πάντες απηλλοτριώθησαν απ' εμού διά των ειδώλων αυτών.
5 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.”’
6 Διά τούτο ειπέ προς τον οίκον Ισραήλ, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Μετανοήσατε και επιστρέψατε από των ειδώλων σας και αποστρέψατε τα πρόσωπά σας από πάντων των βδελυγμάτων σας.
6 “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! Turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7 Διότι εις πάντα άνθρωπον εκ του οίκου Ισραήλ και εκ των ξένων των παροικούντων εν τω Ισραήλ, όστις απαλλοτριωθή απ' εμού και αναβιβάση τα είδωλα αυτού εις την καρδίαν αυτού και θέση το πρόσκομμα της ανομίας αυτού έμπροσθεν του προσώπου αυτού και έλθη προς τον προφήτην διά να ερωτήση αυτόν περί εμού, εγώ ο Κύριος θέλω αποκριθή προς αυτόν περί εμού·
7 “‘“For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me, I Yahweh will answer him by myself.
8 και θέλω στήσει το πρόσωπόν μου εναντίον του ανθρώπου εκείνου και θέλω κάμει αυτόν σημείον και παροιμίαν και θέλω εκκόψει αυτόν εκ μέσου του λαού μου· και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος.
8 I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
9 Και εάν ο προφήτης πλανηθή και λαλήση λόγον, εγώ ο Κύριος επλάνησα τον προφήτην εκείνον· και θέλω εκτείνει την χείρα μου επ' αυτόν και εξολοθρεύσει αυτόν εκ μέσου του λαού μου Ισραήλ.
9 “‘“If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, Yahweh, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from among my people Israel.
10 Και θέλουσι λάβει την ποινήν της ανομίας αυτών· η ποινή του προφήτου θέλει είσθαι ως η ποινή του ερωτώντος·
10 They will bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet will be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him,
11 διά να μη αποπλανάται πλέον ο οίκος Ισραήλ απ' εμού, και να μη μιαίνωνται πλέον με πάσας τας παραβάσεις αυτών, αλλά να ήναι λαός μου και εγώ να ήμαι Θεός αυτών, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
12 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
12 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
13 Υιέ ανθρώπου, όταν γη τις αμαρτήση εις εμέ με παράβασιν βαρείαν, τότε θέλω εκτείνει την χείρα μου επ' αυτήν και συντρίψει το υποστήριγμα του άρτου αυτής, και θέλω εξαποστείλει την πείναν εναντίον αυτής και εκκόψει άνθρωπον και κτήνος απ' αυτής·
13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal—
14 και εάν οι τρεις ούτοι άνδρες, Νώε, Δανιήλ και Ιώβ, ήσαν εν μέσω αυτής, μόνοι ούτοι ήθελον σώσει τας ψυχάς αυτών διά την δικαιοσύνην αυτών, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Και εάν ήθελον επιφέρει κατά της γης θηρία κακά και έφθειρον αυτήν, ώστε να αφανισθή, ώστε να μη δύναταί τις να περάση δι' αυτής εξ αιτίας των θηρίων,
15 “If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals—
16 και οι τρεις ούτοι άνδρες ευρίσκοντο εν μέσω αυτής, ζω εγώ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός, δεν ήθελον σώσει ούτε υιούς ούτε θυγατέρας· μόνοι ούτοι ήθελον σωθή, η δε γη ήθελεν αφανισθή.
16 though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
17 Η και εάν ήθελον επιφέρει ρομφαίαν επί την γην εκείνην και ειπεί, Ρομφαία, δίελθε διά της γης, ώστε να εκκόψω απ' αυτής άνθρωπον και κτήνος,
17 “Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and animal’—
18 και οι τρεις ούτοι άνδρες ευρίσκοντο εν μέσω αυτής, ζω εγώ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός, δεν ήθελον σώσει υιούς και θυγατέρας αλλ' αυτοί μόνοι ήθελον σωθή.
18 though these three men were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.
19 Η εάν ήθελον επιφέρει θανατικόν επί την γην εκείνην και εκχέει την οργήν μου επ' αυτήν με αίμα, ώστε να εκκόψω απ' αυτής άνθρωπον και κτήνος,
19 “Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal—
20 και ευρίσκοντο εν μέσω αυτής Νώε, Δανιήλ και Ιώβ, ζω εγώ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός, δεν ήθελον σώσει ούτε υιόν ούτε θυγατέρα· ούτοι μόνοι ήθελον σώσει τας ψυχάς αυτών διά την δικαιοσύνην αυτών.
20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”
21 Διότι ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Πόσω μάλλον λοιπόν, όταν εξαποστείλω τας τέσσαρας δεινάς κρίσεις μου επί της Ιερουσαλήμ, την ρομφαίαν και την πείναν και τα κακά θηρία και το θανατικόν, ώστε να εκκόψω απ' αυτής άνθρωπον και κτήνος;
21 For the Lord Yahweh says: “How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword, the famine, the evil animals, and the pestilence—to cut off from it man and animal!
22 Πλην ιδού, θέλουσι μένει εν αυτή λείψανα τινά, διασεσωσμένοι τινές, υιοί και θυγατέρες· ιδού, ούτοι θέλουσιν εξέλθει προς εσάς και θέλετε ιδεί τας οδούς αυτών και τας πράξεις αυτών· και θέλετε παρηγορηθή διά τα κακά, τα οποία επέφερα επί την Ιερουσαλήμ, διά πάντα όσα επέφερα επ' αυτήν.
22 Yet, behold, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
23 Και ούτοι θέλουσι σας παρηγορήσει, όταν ίδητε τας οδούς αυτών και τας πράξεις αυτών· και θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ δεν έκαμον χωρίς αιτίας πάντα όσα έκαμον εν αυτή, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
23 They will comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; then you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord Yahweh.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"Though Moses himself and Samuel stood before me," I would not receive their supplication for these men." Yea, if it be Ezekiel who entreats, he will be told, "Though Noah stand forth, and Job, and Daniel, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters." Though the patriarch Abraham be supplicating for them that are most incurably diseased, and change not, God …
