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 έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Υιέ ανθρώπου, τι ήθελεν είσθαι το ξύλον της αμπέλου προς παν άλλο ξύλον, τα κλήματα προς παν ό,τι είναι εν τοις ξύλοις του δρυμού;
2 “Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3 Ήθελον λάβει απ' αυτής ξύλον διά να μεταχειρισθώσιν εις εργασίαν; ή ήθελον λάβει απ' αυτής πάσσαλον, διά να κρεμάσωσιν εις αυτόν σκεύος τι;
3 Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?
4 Ιδού, ρίπτεται εις το πυρ διά να καταναλωθή· το πυρ κατατρώγει και τα δύο άκρα αυτού και το μέσον αυτού κατακαίεται. θέλει είσθαι χρήσιμον εις εργασίαν;
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?
5 Ιδού, ότε ήτο ακέραιον, δεν εχρησίμευεν εις εργασίαν· πόσον ολιγώτερον θέλει είσθαι χρήσιμον εις εργασίαν, αφού το πυρ κατέφαγεν αυτό και εκάη;
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was suitable for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it has been burned, will it yet be suitable for any work?”
6 Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Καθώς είναι το ξύλον της αμπέλου εν τοις ξύλοις του δρυμού, το οποίον παρέδωκα εις το πυρ διά να καταναλωθή, ούτω θέλω παραδώσει τους κατοικούντας την Ιερουσαλήμ.
6 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “As the vine wood among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 Και θέλω στήσει το πρόσωπόν μου εναντίον αυτών· εκ του πυρός θέλουσιν εξέλθει και το πυρ θέλει καταφάγει αυτούς· και όταν στήσω το πρόσωπόν μου εναντίον αυτών, θέλετε γνωρίσει ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος.
7 I will set my face against them. They will go out from the fire, but the fire will still devour them. Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.
8 Και θέλω παραδώσει την γην εις αφανισμόν, διότι έγειναν παραβάται, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
8 I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,” says the Lord Yahweh.
