Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Διὰ τοῦτο προφήτευσον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν, καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἐκσπάσω τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄδικον καὶ ἄνομον.

ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐξολεθρεύσω ἐκ σοῦ ἄδικον καὶ ἄνομον, οὕτως ἐξελεύσεται τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ οἰτοῦ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα ἀπὸ ἀπηλιώτου ἕως βορρᾶ,

καὶ ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέσπασα τὸ ἐγχειρίδιόν μου ἐκ τοῦ κολεοῦ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀποστρέψει οὐκέτι.

καὶ σύ, υἱέ ἀνθρώπου, καταστέναξον ἐν συντριβῇ ὀσφύος σου, καὶ ἐν ὀδύναις στενάξεις κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἴπωσιν 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, λέγει κύριος Κύριος.

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Εἰπόν Ῥομφαία ῥομφαία, ὀξύνου καὶ θυμώθητι,

ὅπως σφάξῃς σφάγια, ὀξύνου ὅπως γένῃ εἰς στίλβωσιν, ἑτοίμη εἰς παράλυσιν· σφάζε, ἐξουδένει, ἀπωθοῦ πᾶν ξύλον.

καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν ἑτοίμην τοῦ κρατεῖν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· ἐξηκονήθη ἡ ῥομφαία, ἐστὶν ἑτοίμη τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν εἰς χεῖρα ἀποκεντοῦντος.

ἀνάκραγε καὶ ὀλόλυξον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι αὕτη ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου, αὕτη ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀφηγουμένοις τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· παροικήσουσιν, ἐπὶ ῥομφαίᾳ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου· διὰ τοῦτο κρότησον ¹² ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρά σου.

ὅτι δεδικαίωται· καὶ φυλὴ ἀπωσθῇ; ³ οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει κύριος Κύριος.

καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ κρότησον χεῖρα ἐπὶ χεῖρα καὶ διπλασίασον ῥομφαίαν· ἡ τρίτη ῥομφαία τραυματιῶν ἐστιν, ῥομφαία τραυματιῶν ἡ μεγάλη. καὶ ἐκστήσεις αὐτούς,

ὅπως μὴ θραυσθῇ ἡ καρδία, καὶ πληθυνθῶσιν οἱ ἀσθενοῦντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν πύλην· παραδέδονται εἰς σφάγια ῥομφαίας, εὖ γέγονεν εἰς σφαγήν, εὗ γέγονεν εἰς στίλβωσιν.

διαπορεύου, ὀξύνου ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων, οὗ ἂν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐξεγείρηται.

καὶ ἐγὼ δὲ κροτήσαω χεῖρά μου πρὸς χεῖρά μου καὶ ἐναφήσω θυμόν μου· ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διάταξον σεαυτῷ δύο ὁδοὺς

τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ῥομφαίαν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος· ἐκ χώρας μιᾶς ἐξελεύσονται αἱ δύο, καὶ χεὶρ ἐν ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ πόλεως, ἐπʼ ἀρχῆς ²⁵δοῦ διατάξεις τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ῥομφαίαν ἐπὶ Ῥαββὰθ υἱῶν Ἀμμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

διότι στήσεται βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχαίαν ὁδόν, ἐπʼ ἀρχῆς τῶν δύο ὁδῶν, τοῦ μαντεύσασθαι μαντείαν, τοῦ ἀναβράσαι ῥάβδον καὶ ἐπερωτῆσαι ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς καὶ ἡπατοσκοπήσασθαι ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ.

ἐγένετο τὸ μαντεῖον ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ 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.

καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ὡς μαντευόμενος μαντείαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀναμιμνήσκων ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ μνησθῆναι.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἀνεμνήσατε τὰς ἀδικίας ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, ⁴⁵ τοῦ ὁραθῆναι ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀσεβείαις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ὑμῶν· ἀνθʼ ὧν ἀνεμνήσατε, ἐν τούτοις ἁλώσεσθε.

καὶ σύ, ἄνομε βέβηλε ἀφηγούμενε τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, οὗ ἤκει ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας,

τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἀφείλου τὴν κίδαριν καὶ ἐπέθου τὸν στέφανον· αὐτὴ οὐ τοιαύτη ἔσται· ἐταπείνωσας τὸ ὑψηλόν, καὶ ὕψωσας τὸ ταπεινόν.

ἀδικίαν ἀδικίαν ἀδικίαν θήσομαι αὐτήν, οὐαὶ αὐτῇ· τοιαύτη ἔσται ἕως οὖ ἔλθῃ ᾧ καθήκει, καὶ παραδώσω αὐτῷ.

Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἄμμων καὶ πρὸς τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐρεῖς Ῥομφαία ῤομφαία ἐσπασμένη εἰς σφάγια καὶ ἐσπασμένη εἰς συντέλειαν, ἐγείρου ὅπως στίλβῃς.

ἐν τῇ ὁράσει σου τῇ ματαίᾳ, καὶ ἐν τῷ μαντεύεσθαί σε ψευδῆ, τοῦ παραδοῦναί σε ἐπὶ τραχήλους τραυματιῶν ἀνόμων, ἤκει ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν καιρῷ ἀδικίας πέρας.

ἀπόστρεφε, μὴ καταλύσῃς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ᾧ γεγέννησαι· ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ ἰδίᾳ σου κρινῶ σε.

καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ σέ ὀργήν μου, ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου ἐμφυσήσω ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας ἀνδρῶν βαρβάρων τεκταινόντων διαφθοράς.

ἐν πυρὶ ἔσῃ κατάβρωμα, τὸ αἶμά σου ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς σου· οὐ μὴ γένηταί σου μνεία, διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα.

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 21 focus

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop [your word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

and tell the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your loins and with bitterness shall you sigh before their eyes.

It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;

it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it condemns every tree.

It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer.

Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.

For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more? says the Lord Yahweh.

You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their chambers.

I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.

Gather you together, go to the right, set yourself in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.

I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,

Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.

You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.

For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.

In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.

It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.

Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.

You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,

thus says the Lord Yahweh: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.

I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

You, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say you, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;

while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.

Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.

I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.

You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
