Ezekiel 6
Ἰεζεκιήλ
1 ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήριξον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτὰ
Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;
3 καὶ ἐρεῖς· τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς καὶ ταῖς φάραγξι καὶ ταῖς νάπαις· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγων ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς ρομφαίαν καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσεται τὰ ὑψηλὰ ὑμῶν,
and you shall say, You⌃ mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.
4 καὶ συντριβήσονται τὰ θυσιαστήρια ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τεμένη ὑμῶν, καὶ καταβαλῶ τραυματίας ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν
And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
5 καὶ διασκορπιῶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑμῶν κύκλῳ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων ὑμῶν.
And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,
6 καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ κατοικίᾳ ὑμῶν αἱ πόλεις ἐξερημωθήσονται καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἀφανισθήσεται, ὅπως ἐξολοθρευθῇ τὰ θυσιαστήρια ὑμῶν, καὶ συντριβήσονται τὰ εἴδωλα ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται τὰ τεμένη ὑμῶν,
and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.
7 καὶ πεσοῦνται τραυματίαι ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord.
8 ἐν τῷ γενέσθαι ἐξ ὑμῶν ἀνασῳζομένους ἐκ ρομφαίας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐν τῷ διασκορπισμῷ ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς χώραις
When there are [some] of you escaping from the sword amongst the Gentiles, and when you⌃ are scattered in the countries;
9 καὶ μνησθήσονταί μου οἱ ἀνασῳζόμενοι ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν ἐκεῖ· ὀμώμοκα τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν τῇ ἐκπορνευούσῃ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν τοῖς ἐκπορνεύουσιν ὀπίσω τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν, καὶ κόψονται πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς βδελύγμασιν αὐτῶν·
then they of you that escape amongst the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn [an oath] against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices;) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.
10 καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
11 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κρότησον τῇ χειρὶ καὶ ψόφησον τῷ πόδι καὶ εἰπόν· εὖγε εὖγε ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς βδελύγμασιν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ· ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν θανάτῳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ πεσοῦνται.
Thus says the Lord; Clap with [your] hand, and stamp with [your] foot and say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.
12 ὁ ἐγγὺς ἐν ρομφαίᾳ πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ μακρὰν ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσει, καὶ ὁ περιεχόμενος ἐν λιμῷ συντελεσθήσεται, καὶ συντελέσω τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish my anger upon them.
13 καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ εἶναι τοὺς τραυματίας ὑμῶν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν κύκλῳ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων ὑμῶν, ἐπὶ πάντα βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑποκάτω δένδρου συσκίου, οὗ ἔδωκαν ἐκεῖ ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας πᾶσι τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν.
Then you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under [every] shady tree, where they offered a sweet savour to all their idols.
14 καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ θήσομαι τὴν γῆν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς ὄλεθρον ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου Δεβλαθὰ ἐκ πάσης τῆς κατοικίας· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: [and] you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord.
