LXX
ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
BSB
BSB:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2
LXX
διὰ τοῦτο προφήτευσον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ
BSB
BSB:
“Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
3
LXX
καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ καὶ ἐκσπάσω τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄνομον καὶ ἄδικον·
BSB
BSB:
and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
4
LXX
ἀνθ' ὧν ἐξολοθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄδικον καὶ ἄνομον, οὕτως ἐξελεύσεται τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα ἀπὸ ἀπηλιώτου ἕως βορρᾶ·
BSB
BSB:
Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
5
LXX
καὶ ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέσπασα τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει οὐκέτι.
BSB
BSB:
Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
6
LXX
καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καταστέναξον ἐν συντριβῇ ὀσφύος σου καὶ ἐν ὀδύναις στενάξεις κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
BSB
BSB:
But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.
7
LXX
καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἴπωσι πρὸς σέ· ἕνεκα τίνος σὺ στενάζεις; καὶ ἐρεῖς· ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγγελίᾳ, διότι ἔρχεται, καὶ θραυσθήσεται πᾶσα καρδία, καὶ πᾶσαι χεῖρες παραλυθήσονται, καὶ ἐκψύξει πᾶσα σὰρξ καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα, καὶ πάντες μηροὶ μολυνθήσονται ὑγρασίᾳ· ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται καὶ ἔσται λέγει Κύριος.
BSB
BSB:
And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
8
LXX
καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με, λέγων·
BSB
BSB:
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9
LXX
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· εἰπόν· ρομφαία ρομφαία, ὀξύνου καὶ θυμώθητι,
BSB
BSB:
“Son of man, prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—
10
LXX
ὅπως σφάξῃς σφάγια, ὀξύνου ὅπως γένῃ εἰς στίλβωσιν, ἑτοίμη εἰς παράλυσιν, σφάζε, ἐξουδένει, ἀπωθοῦ πᾶν ξύλον.
BSB
BSB:
it is sharpened for the slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Should we rejoice in the scepter of My son? The sword despises every such stick.
11
LXX
καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν ἑτοίμην τοῦ κρατεῖν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· ἐξηκονήθη ἡ ρομφαία, ἐστὶν ἑτοίμη τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν εἰς χεῖρα ἀποκεντοῦντος.
BSB
BSB:
The sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished, to be placed in the hand of the slayer.
12
LXX
ἀνάκραγε καὶ ὀλόλυξον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι αὐτὴ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου, αὐτὴ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἀφηγουμένοις τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· παροικήσουσιν ἐπὶ ρομφαίᾳ, ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου. διὰ τοῦτο κρότησον ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρά σου,
BSB
BSB:
Cry out and wail, O son of man, for the sword is wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are tossed to the sword with My people; therefore strike your thigh.
13
LXX
ὅτι δεδικαίωται· καὶ τί εἰ καὶ φυλὴ ἀπώσθη; οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
BSB
BSB:
Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’ declares the Lord GOD.
14
LXX
καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ κρότησον χεῖρα ἐπὶ χεῖρα καὶ διπλασίασον ρομφαίαν· ἡ τρίτη ρομφαία τραυματιῶν ἐστι, ρομφαία τραυματιῶν ἡ μεγάλη καὶ ἐκστήσει αὐτούς,
BSB
BSB:
‘So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike two times, even three. It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!
15
LXX
ὅπως θραυσθῇ ἡ καρδία καὶ πληθυνθῶσιν οἱ ἀσθενοῦντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πύλην αὐτῶν· παραδέδονται εἰς σφάγια ρομφαίας, εὖ γέγονεν εἰς σφαγήν, εὖ γέγονεν εἰς στίλβωσιν.
BSB
BSB:
So that their hearts may melt and many may stumble, I have appointed at all their gates a sword for slaughter. Yes, it is ready to flash like lightning; it is drawn for slaughter.
16
LXX
καὶ διαπορεύου, ὀξύνου, ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων, οὗ ἂν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐξεγείρηται.
BSB
BSB:
Slash to the right; set your blade to the left—wherever your blade is directed.
17
LXX
καὶ ἐγὼ δὲ κροτήσω χεῖρά μου πρὸς χεῖρά μου καὶ ἀναφήσω τόν θυμόν μου· ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
BSB
BSB:
I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’ I, the LORD, have spoken.”
18
LXX
Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
BSB
BSB:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
19
LXX
καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διάταξον σεαυτῷ δύο ὁδοὺς
BSB
BSB:
“Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a signpost where the road branches off to each city.
20
LXX
τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ρομφαίαν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος· ἐκ χώρας μιᾶς ἐξελεύσονται αἱ δύο, καὶ χεὶρ ἐν ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ πόλεως, ἐπ' ἀρχῆς ὁδοῦ διατάξεις τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ρομφαίαν ἐπὶ Ραββὰθ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.
BSB
BSB:
Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.
21
LXX
διότι στήσεται βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχαίαν ὁδόν, ἐπ' ἀρχῆς τῶν δύο ὁδῶν, τοῦ μαντεύσασθαι μαντείαν, τοῦ ἀναβράσαι ράβδον καὶ ἐπερωτῆσαι ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς καὶ κατασκοπήσασθαι ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
For the king of Babylon stands at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.
22
LXX
ἐγένετο τὸ μαντεῖον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ βαλεῖν χάρακα, τοῦ διανοῖξαι στόμα ἐν βοῇ, ὑψῶσαι φωνὴν μετὰ κραυγῆς, τοῦ βαλεῖν χάρακα ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς καὶ βαλεῖν χῶμα καὶ οἰκοδομῆσαι βελοστάσεις.
BSB
BSB:
In his right hand appears the portent for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to call for the slaughter, to lift a battle cry, to direct the battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect a siege wall.
23
LXX
καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ὡς μαντευόμενος μαντείαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀναμιμνήσκων ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ μνησθῆναι.
BSB
BSB:
It will seem like a false omen to the eyes of those who have sworn allegiance to him, but it will draw attention to their guilt and take them captive.
24
LXX
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ' ὧν ἀνεμνήσατε τὰς ἀδικίας ὑμῶν, ἐν τῷ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, τοῦ ὁραθῆναι ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀσεβείαις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ὑμῶν, ἀνθ' ἀνεμνήσατε, ἐν τούτοις ἁλώσεσθε.
BSB
BSB:
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.
25
LXX
καὶ σύ, βέβηλε, ἄνομε, ἀφηγούμενε τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οὗ ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας,
BSB
BSB:
And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’
26
LXX
τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀφείλου τὴν κίδαριν καὶ ἐπέθου τὸν στέφανον· αὕτη οὐ τοιαύτη ἔσται· ἐταπείνωσας τὸ ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὕψωσας τὸ ταπεινόν.
BSB
BSB:
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.
27
LXX
ἀδικίαν ἀδικίαν θήσομαι αὐτήν, οὐδ' αὕτη τοιαύτη ἔσται, ἕως οὗ ἔλθῃ ᾧ καθήκει, καὶ παραδώσω αὐτῷ.
BSB
BSB:
A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment.’
28
LXX
Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον, καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν καὶ πρὸς τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐρεῖς· ρομφαία ρομφαία ἐσπασμένη εἰς σφάγια καὶ ἐσπασμένη εἰς συντέλειαν, ἐγείρου ὅπως στίλβῃς
BSB
BSB:
Now prophesy, son of man, and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning—
29
LXX
ἐν τῇ ὁράσει σου τῇ ματαίᾳ καὶ ἐν τῷ μαντεύεσθαί σε ψευδῆ, τοῦ παραδοῦναί σε ἐπὶ τραχήλους τραυματιῶν ἀνόμων, ὧν ἥκει ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας.
BSB
BSB:
while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you—to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
30
LXX
ἀπόστρεφε, μὴ καταλύσῃς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ γεγέννησαι· ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ ἰδίᾳ σου κρινῶ σε
BSB
BSB:
Return the sword to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
31
LXX
καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ σέ ὀργήν μου, ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου ἐμφυσήσω ἐπὶ σέ καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας ἀνδρῶν βαρβάρων τεκταινόντων διαφθοράν.
BSB
BSB:
I will pour out My anger upon you; I will breathe the fire of My fury against you; I will hand you over to brutal men, skilled in destruction.
32
LXX
ἐν πυρὶ ἔσῃ κατάβρωμα, τὸ αἷμά σου ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς σου· οὐ μὴ γένηταί σου μνεία, διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.
BSB
BSB:
You will be fuel for the fire. Your blood will stain your own land. You will not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken.’”
