Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διήγησαι διήγημα καὶ εἰπὸν παραβολὴν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,

καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἀετὸς ὁ μέγας ὁ μεγαλοπτέρυγος, ὁ μακρὸς τῇ ἐκτάσει, πλήρης ὀνύχων, ὃς ἔχει τὸ ἥγημα εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν Λίβανον, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ἐπίλεκτα τῆς κέδρου,

τὰ ἄκρα τῆς ἁπαλότητος. ἀπέκνισεν, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν Χανὰαν, εἰς πόλιν τετειχισμένην ¹³ ἔθετο αὐτά.

καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ πεδίον φυτὸν ἐφʼ ὕδατι πολλῷ, ἐπιβλεπόμενον ἔταξεν αὐτό.

καὶ ἀνέτειλεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄμπελον ἀσθενοῦσαν καὶ μικράν, τοῦ ἐπιφαίνεσθαι αὐτὴν τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἐπʼ αὐτό, καὶ ῥίζαι αὐτῆς ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἦσαν. καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄμπελον καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀπώρυγας καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν ἀναδενδράδα αὐτῆς.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἀετὸς ἕτερος μέγας μεγαλοπτέρυγος πολὺς ὄνυξιν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἄμπελος αὕτη περιπεπλεγμένη πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ῥίζαι αὐτῆς πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτῷ τοῦ ποτίσαι αὐτὴν σὺν τῷ βώλῳ τῆς φυτείας αὐτῆς.

εἰς πεδίον καλὸν ἐφʼ ὕδατι πολλῷ αὕτη πιαίνεται, τοῦ ποιεῖν βλαστοὺς καὶ φέρειν καρπόν, τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἄμπελον μεγάλην.

διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Εἰ κατευθυνεῖ, οὐχὶ αἱ ῥίζαι τῆς ἁπαλότητος αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ καρπὸς σαπήσεται, καὶ ξηρανθήσεται πάντα τὰ προανατέλλοντα αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐν βραχίονι μεγάλῳ οὐδʼ ἐν λαῷ πολλῷ τοῦ ἐκσπάσαι αὐτὴν ἐκ ῥίζῶν αὐτῆς;

καὶ ἰδοὺ πιαίνεται· μὴ κατευθυνεῖ; οὐχ ἅμα τῷ ἅψασθαι αὐτῆς ἄνεμον τὸν καύσωνα ξηρανθήσεταις; σὺν τῷ βώλῳ ἀνατολῆς αὐτῆς ξηρανθήσεται.

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Υἱὲ ἀυθρώπου, εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα Οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τί ἦν ταῦτα; εἰπόν Ὅταν ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ λήμψεται τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς καὶ ἄξει αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

καὶ λήμψεται ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ διαθήσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν διαθήκην καὶ εἰσάξει αὐτὸν ἐν ἀρῷ, καὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τῆς γῆς λήμψεται,

τοῦ γενέσθαι εἰς βασιλείαν ἀσθενῆ τὸ καθόλου μὴ ἐπαίρεσθαι, τοῦ φυλάσσειν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱστάυειν αὐτήν.

καὶ ἀποστήσεται ⁴⁵ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐξαποστέλλειν ἀγγέλους ἑαυτοῦ εἰς Aἴγυπτον, ⁶ τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτῷ ἵππους καὶ λαὸν πολύν. εἰ κατευθυνεῖ; εἰ διασωθήσεται ὁ ποιῶν ἐναντία; καὶ παραβαίνων διαθήκην εἰ διασωθήσεται;

ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν μὴ ἐν τόπῳ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ βασιλεύσας αὐτόν, ὃς ἠτίμωσεν τὴν ἀράν μου καὶ ὃς παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην μου, μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν μέσῳ Βαβυλῶνος τελευτήσει.

καὶ οὐκ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ οὐδʼ ἐν ὄχλῳ πολλῷ ποιήσει πρὸς αὐτὸν Φαραὼ πόλεμον, ἐν χαρακοβολίᾳ καὶ ἐν οἰκοδομῇ βελοστάσεων τοῦ ἐξᾶραι ψυχάς.

καὶ ἠτίμωσεν ὁρκωμοσίαν τοῦ παραβῆναι διαθήκην, καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα ταῦτα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ· μὴ σωθήσεται;

διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ζῶ ἐγὼ ἐὰν μὴ τὴν ὁρκωμοσίαν μου ἣν ἠτίμωσεν, καὶ τὴν διαθήκην μου ἣν παρέβη, καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐκπετάσω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὸ δίκτυον, καὶ ἁλώσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ αὐτοῦ.

ἐν πάσῃ παρατάξει αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον διασπερῶ· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.

Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Καὶ λήμψομαι ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν τῆς κέδρου ἐκ κορυφῆς, καρδίας αὐτῶν ἀποκνιῶ καὶ καταφυτεύσω ἐγὼ ἐπʼ ὄρος ὑψηλόν,

καὶ κρεμάσω αὐτὸν ἐν ὄρει μετεώρῳ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ καταφυτεύσω, καὶ ἐξοίσει βλαστὸν καὶ ποιήσει καρπὸν καὶ ἔσται εἰς κέδρον μεγάλην· καὶ ἀναπαύσεται ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ πᾶν ὄρνεον, καὶ πᾶν πετεινὸν ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ ἀναπαύσεται· τὰ κλήματα αὐτοῦ ἀποκατασταθήσεται.

καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ταπεινῶν ξύλον ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑψῶν ξύλον ταπεινόν, καὶ ξηραίνων ξύλον χλωρὸν καὶ ἀναθάλλων ξύλον ξηρόν. ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ποιήσω.

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 17 focus

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;

and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:

he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.

It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots of it were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

Say you, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots of it, and cut off the fruit of it, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or much people can it be raised from the roots of it.

Yes, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? it shall wither in the beds where it grew.

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Say now to the rebellious house, Don't you know what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king of it, and the princes of it, and brought them to him to Babylon:

and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;

that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape who does such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?

As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.

For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.

Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.

I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.

All his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:

in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches of it shall they dwell.

All the trees of the field shall know that I, Yahweh, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, Yahweh, have spoken and have done it.
