Ezekiel 45 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ ἐν τῷ καταμετρεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς τὴν γῆν ἐν κληρονομίᾳ ἀφοριεῖτε ἀπαρχὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἅγιον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας μῆκος καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδας· ἅγιον ἔσται ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν.“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. This entire tract of land will be holy.

2καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τούτου εἰς ἁγίασμα πεντακόσιοι ἐπὶ πεντακοσίους τετράγωνον κυκλόθεν, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεις διάστημα αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν.Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square, with 50 cubits around it for open land.

3καὶ ἐκ ταύτης τῆς διαμετρήσεως διαμετρήσεις μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδας, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔσται τὸ ἁγίασμα ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων.From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

4ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ καὶ ἔσται τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι λειτουργεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τόπος εἰς οἴκους ἀφωρισμένους τῷ ἁγιασμῷ αὐτῶν.It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.

5εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδας μῆκος καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἔσται τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς λειτουργοῦσι τῷ οἴκῳ, αὐτοῖς εἰς κατάσχεσιν, πόλεις τοῦ κατοικεῖν.An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.

6καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως δώσεις πέντε χιλιάδας εὖρος καὶ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας· ὃν τρόπον ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσονται.As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.

7καὶ τῷ ἡγουμένῳ ἐκ τούτου καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου εἰς τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν ἁγίων εἰς κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως, κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῶν ἁγίων καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν πρὸς ἀνατολάς, καὶ τὸ μῆκος ὡς μία τῶν μερίδων ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ τό μῆκος ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῆς γῆς.Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.

8καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς κατάσχεσιν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὐ καταδυναστεύσουσιν οὐκέτι οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν λαόν μου, καὶ τὴν γῆν κατακληρονομήσουσιν οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ φυλὰς αὐτῶν.This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

9τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεός· ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν, οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· ἀδικίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἀφέλεσθε καὶ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ποιήσατε, ἐξάρατε καταδυναστείαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ μου, λέγει Κύριος Θεός.For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’

10ζυγὸς δίκαιος καὶ μέτρον δίκαιον καὶ χοῖνιξ δικαία ἔστω ὑμῖν.You must use honest scales, a just ephah, and a just bath.

11τὸ μέτρον καὶ ἡ χοῖνιξ ὁμοίως μία ἔσται τοῦ λαμβάνειν· τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομὸρ ἡ χοῖνιξ, καὶ τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομὸρ τὸ μέτρον, πρὸς τὸ γομὸρ ἔσται ἴσον.The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.

12καὶ τὰ στάθμια εἴκοσιν ὀβολοί· οἱ πέντε σίκλοι πέντε, καὶ οἱ δέκα σίκλοι δέκα, καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι ἡ μνᾶ ἔσται ὑμῖν.The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.

13Καὶ αὕτη ἡ ἀπαρχή, ἣν ἀφοριεῖτε, ἕκτον μέτρου ἀπὸ τοῦ γομὸρ τοῦ πυροῦ καὶ τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ οἰφὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ κόρου τῶν κριθῶν.This is the contribution you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley.

14καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ ἐλαίου· κοτύλην ἐλαίου ἀπὸ δέκα κοτυλῶν, ὅτι αἱ δέκα κοτύλαι εἰσὶ γομόρ.The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (a cor consists of ten baths or one homer, since ten baths are equivalent to a homer).

15καὶ πρόβατον ἀπὸ τῶν δέκα προβάτων ἀφαίρεμα ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς θυσίας καὶ εἰς ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ εἰς σωτηρίου τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ ὑμῶν λέγει Κύριος Θεός.And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD.

16καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς δώσει τὴν ἀπαρχὴν ταύτην τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.

17καὶ διὰ τοῦ ἀφηγουμένου ἔσται τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ αἱ θυσίαι καὶ αἱ σπονδαὶ ἔσονται ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἑορταῖς οἴκου Ἰσραήλ· αὐτὸς ποιήσει τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.

18Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεός· ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς λήψεσθε μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον τοῦ ἐξιλάσασθαι τὸ ἅγιον.This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.

19καὶ λήψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἐξιλασμοῦ καὶ δώσει ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας.And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.

20καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, λήψῃ παρ' ἑκάστου ἀπόμοιραν καὶ ἐξιλάσεσθε τὸν οἶκον.You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.

21καὶ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνί, τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἔσται ὑμῖν τὸ πάσχα ἑορτή· ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄζυμα ἔδεσθε.On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to observe the Passover, a feast of seven days, during which unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22καὶ ποιήσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ὑπὲρ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς μόσχον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας.On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.

23καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τῆς ἑορτῆς ποιήσει ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς ἀμώμους καθ' ἡμέραν, τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας ἔριφον αἰγῶν καθ' ἡμέραν.Each day during the seven days of the feast, he shall provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a male goat for a sin offering.

24καὶ θυσίαν πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ ποιήσεις καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ εἲν τῷ πέμματι.He shall also provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin of olive oil for each ephah of grain.

25καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μηνί, πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ποιήσεις κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καθὼς τὰ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ καθὼς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ καθὼς τὸ μαναὰ καὶ καθὼς τὸ ἔλαιον.During the seven days of the feast that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.’
