Ezekiel 22

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, declare thou to her all her iniquities.

καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰ κρινεῖς τὴν πόλιν τῶν αἱμάτων; καὶ παράδειξον αὐτῇ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς,

And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;

καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ὦ πόλις ἐκχέουσα αἵματα ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, τοῦ ἐλθεῖν καιρὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ποιοῦσα ἐνθυμήματα καθʼ ἑαυτῆς, τοῦ μιαίνειν αὐτήν,

in their blood which thou hast shed, thou hast transgressed; and in thy devices which thou hast formed, thou hast polluted thyself; and thou hast brought nigh thy days, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,

ἐν τοῖς αἵμασιν αὐτῶν οἷς ἐξέχεας, παραπέπτωκας, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασί σου οἷς ἐποίεις, ἐμιαίνου· καὶ ἤγγισας τὰς ἡμέρας σου, καὶ ἤγαγες καιρὸν ἐτῶν σου· διατοῦτο δέδωκά σε εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ εἰς ἐμπαιγμὸν πάσαις ταῖς χώραις ταῖς ἐγγιζούσαις πρὸς σὲ,

to those near thee, and to those far distant from thee; and they shall mock thee, thou that art notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.

καὶ ταῖς μακρὰν ἀπεχούσαις ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐμπαίξονται ἐν σοὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἡ ἀνομαστὴ, καὶ πολλὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις.

Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in thee each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.

Ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι οἴκου Ἰσραήλ, ἕκαστος πρὸς τοὺς συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ, συνεφύροντο ἐν σοὶ, ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν αἷμα.

In thee they have reviled father and mother; and in thee they have behaved unjustly toward the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.

Πατέρα καὶ μητὲρα ἐκακολόγουν ἐν σοὶ, καὶ πρὸς τὸν προσήλυτον ἀνεστρέφοντο ἐν ἀδικίαις ἐν σοί, ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν κατεδυνάστευον.

And they have set at nought my holy things, and in thee they have profaned my sabbaths.

Καὶ τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐξουδένουν, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν ἐν σοί.

There are robbers in thee, to shed blood in thee; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of thee.

Ἄνδρες λῃσταὶ ἐν σοὶ, ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν ἐν σοὶ αἷμα, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἤσθιον ἐπὶ σοὶ, ἀνόσια ἐποίουν ἐν μέσῳ σου.

In thee they have uncovered the father's shame; and in thee they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.

Αἰσχύνην πατρὸς ἀπεκάλυψαν ἐν σοὶ, καὶ ἐν ἀκαθαρσίαις ἀποκαθημένην ἐταπείνουν ἐν σοί.

They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbour's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in thee they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.

Ἕκαστος τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἠνομοῦσαν, καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν νύμφην αὐτοῦ ἐμίαινεν ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ θυγατέρα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐταπείνουν ἐν σοί.

In thee they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in thee interest and usurious increase; and by oppression thou hast brought thy wickedness to the full, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord.

Δῶρα ἐλαμβάνοσαν ἐν σοὶ, ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν αἷμα, τόκον καὶ πλεονασμὸν ἐλαμβάνοσαν ἐν σοὶ, καὶ συνετελέσω συντέλειαν κακίας σου τὴν ἐν καταδυναστείᾳ, ἐμοῦ δὲ ἐπελάθου, λέγει Κύριος.

And if I shall smite my hand at thine iniquities which thou hast accomplished, which thou hast wrought, and at thy blood that has been shed in the midst of thee,

Ἐὰν δὲ πατάξω χεῖρά μου ἐφʼ οἷς συντετέλεσαι οἷς ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς αἵμασί σου τοῖς γεγενημένοις ἐν μέσῳ σου,

shall thy heart endure? shall thine hands be strong in the days which I bring upon thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.

εἰ ὑποστήσεται ἡ καρδία σου; εἰ κρατήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αἷς ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν σοί; ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα, καὶ ποιήσω.

And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and thy uncleanness shall be removed out of thee.

Καὶ διασκορπιῶ σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασπερῶ σε ἐν ταῖς χώραις, καὶ ἐκλείψει ἡ ἀκαθαρσία σου ἐκ σοῦ.

And I will give heritages in thee in the sight of the nations, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Καὶ κατακληρονομήσω ἐν σοὶ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

Son of man, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me as it were mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of silver.

υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ γεγόνασί μοι ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀναμεμιγμένοι πάντες χαλκῷ, καὶ σιδήρῳ, καὶ κασσιτέρῳ, καὶ μολίβῳ, ἐν μέσῳ ἀργυρίου ἀναμεμιγμένος ἐστί.

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

Διατοῦτο εἰπὸν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγένεσθε εἰς σύγκρασιν μίαν, διατοῦτο ἐγὼ εἰσδέχομαι ὑμᾶς εἰς μέσον Ἱερουσαλήμ·

As silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take you in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.

Καθὼς εἰσδέχεται ἄργυρος, καὶ χαλκὸς, καὶ σίδηρος, καὶ κασσίτερος, καὶ μόλιβος εἰς μέσον καμίνου, τοῦ ἐκφυσῆσαι εἰς αὐτὸ πῦρ τοῦ χωνευθῆναι, οὕτως εἰσδέξομαι ἐν ὀργῇ μου, καὶ συνάξω καὶ χωνεύσω ὑμᾶς,

And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.

καὶ ἐκφυσήσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου, καὶ χωνευθήσεσθε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.

Ὃν τρόπον χωνεύεται ἀργύριον ἐν μέσῳ καμίνου, οὕτως χωνευθήσεσθε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέχεα τὸν θυμόν μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,

Son of man, say to her, Thou art the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon thee in the day of wrath:

υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπὸν αὐτῇ, σὺ εἶ γῆ ἡ οὐ βρεχομένη, οὐδὲ ὑετὸς ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς.

whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and thy widows are multiplied in the midst of thee.

Ἧς οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὡς λέοντες ὠρυόμενοι ἁρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα, ψυχὰς κατεσθίοντες ἐν δυναστείᾳ, καὶ τιμὰς λαμβάνοντες· καὶ χῆραί σου ἐπληθύνθησαν ἐν μέσῳ σου.

Her priests also have set at nought my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.

Καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἠθέτησαν νόμον μου, καὶ ἐβεβήλουν τὰ ἅγιά μου· ἀναμέσον ἁγίου καὶ βεβήλου οὐ διέστελλον, καὶ ἀναμέσον ἀκαθάρτου καὶ τοῦ καθαροῦ οὐ διέστελλον, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σαββάτων μου παρεκάλυπτον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐβεβηλούμην ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

Her princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, that they may get dishonest gain.

Οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὡς λύκοι ἁρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα, τοῦ ἐκχέαι αἷμα, ὅπως πλεονεξίᾳ πλεονεκτῶσι.

And her prophets that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus saith the Lord, when the Lord has not spoken.

Καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῆς ἀλείφοντες αὐτοὺς πεσοῦνται, ὁρῶντες μάταια, μαντευόμενοι ψευδῆ, λέγοντες, τάδε λέγει Κύριος· καὶ Κύριος οὐκ ἐλάλησε.

That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.

Λαὸν τῆς γῆς ἐκπιεζοῦντες ἀδικίᾳ, καὶ διαρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα, πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα καταδυναστεύοντες, καὶ πρὸς τὸν προσήλυτον οὐκ ἀναστρεφόμενοι μετὰ κρίματος.

And I sought from among them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found him not.

Καὶ ἐζήτουν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρα ἀναστρεφόμενον ὀρθῶς, καὶ ἑστῶτα πρὸ προσώπου μου ὁλοσχερῶς ἐν καιρῷ τῆς ὀργῆς, τοῦ μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐξαλεῖψαι αὐτὴν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.

So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish it. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, saith the Lord God.

Καὶ ἐξέχεα ἐπʼ αὐτὴν θυμόν μου ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου, τοῦ συντελέσαι· τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν δέδωκα, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
