[22] καὶ ἰδοὺ ὑπολελειμμένοι ἐν αὐτῇ οἱ ἀνασεσῳσμένοι αὐτῆς, οἳ ἐξάγουσιν ἐξ αὐτῆς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ἐκπορεύονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν καὶ μεταμεληθήσεσθε ἐπὶ τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπ’ αὐτήν,
[22] yet, behold, there shall be men left in it, the escaped thereof, who shall lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they shall go forth to you, land ye shall see their ways and their thoughts: and ye shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even all the evils which I have brought upon it.
[23] καὶ παρακαλέσουσιν ὑμᾶς, διότι ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι οὐ μάτην πεποίηκα πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει κύριος.
[23] And they shall comfort you, because ye shall see their ways and their thoughts: and ye shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, saith the Lord.
CHAPTER 15
[1] Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[1] And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[2] Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τί ἂν γένοιτο τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐκ πάντων τῶν ξύλων τῶν κλημάτων τῶν ὄντων ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ;
[2] And thou, son of man — of all the wood, of the branches that are among the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?
[3] εἰ λήμψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς ξύλον τοῦ ποιῆσαι εἰς ἐργασίαν; εἰ λήμψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς πάσσαλον τοῦ κρεμάσαι ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πᾶν σκεῦος;
[3] Will they take wood of it to make it fit for work? will they take of it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?
[4] πάρεξ πυρὶ δέδοται εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, τὴν κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν κάθαρσιν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς ἀναλίσκει τὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐκλείπει εἰς τέλος· μὴ χρήσιμον ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν;
[4] It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for any work?
[5] οὐδὲ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ὁλοκλήρου οὐκ ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν. μὴ ὅτι ἐὰν καὶ πῦρ αὐτὸ ἀναλώσῃ εἰς τέλος, εἰ ἔσται ἔτι εἰς ἐργασίαν;
[5] Not even while it is yet whole will it be useful for any work: if the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be fit for work?
[6] διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ὃν τρόπον τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ, ὃ δέδωκα αὐτὸ τῷ πυρὶ εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, οὕτως δέδωκα τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ.
[6] Therefore say,
Thus saith the Lord, As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[7] καὶ δώσω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς· ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ πῦρ αὐτοὺς καταφάγεται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ στηρίσαι με τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ’ αὐτούς.
[7] And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth of the fire, and yet fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set my face against them.
[8] καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀνθ’ ὧν παρέπεσον παραπτώματι, λέγει κύριος.
[8] And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly transgressed, saith the Lord.
CHAPTER 16
[1] Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[1] Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[2] Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διαμάρτυραι τῇ Ιερουσαλημ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς
[2] Son of man, testify to Jerusalem of her iniquities;
[3] καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει κύριος τῇ Ιερουσαλημ Ἡ ῥίζα σου καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου ἐκ γῆς Χανααν, ὁ πατήρ σου Αμορραῖος, καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου Χετταία.
[3] and thou shalt say,
Thus saith the Lord to Jerusalem; Thy root and thy birth are of the land of Chanaan: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Chettite.
[4] καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου· ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐτέχθης, οὐκ ἔδησαν τοὺς μαστούς σου, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι οὐκ ἐλούσθης οὐδὲ ἁλὶ ἡλίσθης καὶ σπαργάνοις οὐκ ἐσπαργανώθης,
[4] And as for thy birth in the day wherein thou wast born, thou didst not bind thy breasts, and thou wast not washed in water, neither wast thou salted with salt, neither wast thou swathed in swaddling-bands.
[5] οὐδὲ ἐφείσατο ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ ποιῆσαί σοι ἓν ἐκ πάντων τούτων τοῦ παθεῖν τι ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ ἀπερρίφης ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου τῇ σκολιότητι τῆς ψυχῆς σου ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐτέχθης.
[5] Nor did mine eye pity thee, to do for thee one of all these things, to feel at all for thee; but thou wast cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of thy person, in the day wherein thou wast born.
[6] καὶ διῆλθον ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε πεφυρμένην ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου καὶ εἶπά σοι Ἐκ τοῦ αἵματός σου ζωή·
[6] And I passed by to thee, and saw thee polluted in thy blood; and I said to thee, Let there be life out of thy blood:
[7] πληθύνου· καθὼς ἡ ἀνατολὴ τοῦ ἀγροῦ δέδωκά σε. καὶ ἐπληθύνθης καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθης καὶ εἰσῆλθες εἰς πόλεις πόλεων· οἱ μαστοί σου ἀνωρθώθησαν, καὶ ἡ θρίξ σου ἀνέτειλεν, σὺ δὲ ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα.
[7] increase; I have made thee as the springing grass of the field. So thou didst increase and grow, and didst enter into great cities: thy breasts were set, and thy hair grew, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
[8] καὶ διῆλθον διὰ σοῦ καὶ εἶδόν σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ καιρός σου καιρὸς καταλυόντων, καὶ διεπέτασα τὰς πτέρυγάς μου ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐκάλυψα τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην σου· καὶ ὤμοσά σοι καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν διαθήκῃ μετὰ σοῦ, λέγει κύριος, καὶ ἐγένου μοι.
[8] And I passed by thee and saw thee, and, behold, it was thy time and a time of resting; and I spread my wings over thee, and covered thy shame, and swear to thee: and I entered into covenant with thee, saith the Lord, and thou becamest mine.
[9] καὶ ἔλουσά σε ἐν ὕδατι καὶ ἀπέπλυνα τὸ αἷμά σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἔχρισά σε ἐν ἐλαίῳ
[9] And I washed thee in water, and washed thy blood from thee, and anointed thee with oil.
[10] καὶ ἐνέδυσά σε ποικίλα καὶ ὑπέδησά σε ὑάκινθον καὶ ἔζωσά
σε βύσσῳ καὶ περιέβαλόν σε τριχάπτῳ
[10] And I clothed thee with embroidered garments, and clothed thee beneath with purple, and girded thee with fine linen, and clothed thee with silk,
[11] καὶ ἐκόσμησά σε κόσμῳ καὶ περιέθηκα ψέλια περὶ τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ κάθεμα περὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου
[11] and decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thine hands, and a necklace on thy neck.
[12] καὶ ἔδωκα ἐνώτιον περὶ τὸν μυκτῆρά σου καὶ τροχίσκους ἐπὶ τὰ ὦτά σου καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου·
[12] And I put a pendant on thy nostril, and rings in thine ears, and a crown of glory on thine head.
[13] καὶ ἐκοσμήθης χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ περιβόλαιά σου βύσσινα καὶ τρίχαπτα καὶ ποικίλα· σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἔφαγες καὶ ἐγένου καλὴ σφόδρα.
[13] So thou wast adorned with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: thou didst eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and didst become extremely beautiful.
[14] καὶ ἐξῆλθέν σου ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου, διότι συντετελεσμένον ἦν ἐν εὐπρεπείᾳ ἐν τῇ ὡραιότητι, ᾗ ἔταξα ἐπὶ σέ, λέγει κύριος. –
[14] And thy name went forth among the nations for thy beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, and in the comeliness which I put upon thee, saith the Lord.
[15] καὶ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου καὶ ἐπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ ἐξέχεας τὴν πορνείαν σου ἐπὶ πάντα πάροδον, ὃ οὐκ ἔσται.
[15] Thou didst trust in thy beauty, and didst go a-whoring because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy fornication on every passer by.
[16] καὶ ἔλαβες ἐκ τῶν ἱματίων σου καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἴδωλα ῥαπτὰ καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπ’ αὐτά· καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς, οὐδὲ μὴ γένηται.
[16] and thou didst take of thy garments, and madest to thyself idols of needlework, and didst go a-whoring after them; therefore thou shalt never come in, nor shall the like take place.
[17] καὶ ἔλαβες τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἀργυρίου μου, ἐξ ὧν ἔδωκά σοι, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἰκόνας ἀρσενικὰς καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐν αὐταῖς·
[17] And thou tookest thy fair ornaments of my gold and of my silver, of what I gave thee, and thou madest to thyself male images, and thou didst commit whoredom with them.
[18] καὶ ἔλαβες τὸν ἱματισμὸν τὸν ποικίλον σου καὶ περιέβαλες αὐτὰ καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου καὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου ἔθηκας πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν·
[18] And thou didst take thy variegated apparel and didst clothe them, and thou didst set before them mine oil and mine incense.
[19] καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους μου, οὓς ἔδωκά σοι, σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἐψώμισά σε καὶ ἔθηκας αὐτὰ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας· καὶ ἐγένετο, λέγει κύριος.
[19] And thou tookest my bread which I gave thee, (yea I fed thee with fine flour and oil and honey) and didst set them before them for a sweet-smelling savour: yea, it was so, saith the Lord.
[20] καὶ ἔλαβες τοὺς υἱούς σου καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας σου, ἃς ἐγέννησας, καὶ ἔθυσας αὐτὰ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, ὡς μικρὰ ἐξεπόρνευσας,
[20] And thou tookest thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou borest, land didst sacrifice these to them to be destroyed. Thou didst go a-whoring as if that were little,
[21] καὶ ἔσφαξας τὰ τέκνα σου καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ ἀποτροπιάζεσθαί σε ἐν αὐτοῖς.
[21] and didst slay thy children, and gavest them up in offering them to them for an expiation.
[22] τοῦτο παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πορνείαν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθης τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς νηπιότητός σου, ὅτε ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα καὶ πεφυρμένη ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἔζησας.
[22] This is beyond all thy fornication, and thou didst not remember thine infancy, when thou wast naked and bare, and didst live though defiled in thy blood.
[23] καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ πάσας τὰς κακίας σου, λέγει κύριος,
[23] And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, saith the Lord,
[24] καὶ ᾠκοδόμησας σεαυτῇ οἴκημα πορνικὸν καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ ἔκθεμα ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ
[24] that thou didst build thyself a house of fornication, and didst make thyself a public place in every street;
[25] καὶ ἐπ’ ἀρχῆς πάσης ὁδοῦ ᾠκοδόμησας τὰ πορνεῖά σου καὶ ἐλυμήνω τὸ κάλλος σου καὶ διήγαγες τὰ σκέλη σου παντὶ παρόδῳ καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὴν πορνείαν σου·
[25] and on the head of every way thou didst set up thy fornications, and didst defile thy beauty, and didst open thy feet to every passer by, and didst multiply thy fornication.
[26] καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Αἰγύπτου τοὺς ὁμοροῦντάς σοι τοὺς μεγαλοσάρκους καὶ πολλαχῶς ἐξεπόρνευσας τοῦ παροργίσαι με.
[26] And thou didst go a-whoring after the children of Egypt thy neighbors, great of flesh; and didst go a-whoring, often to provoke me to anger.
[27] ἐὰν δὲ ἐκτείνω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὰ νόμιμά σου καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς ψυχὰς μισούντων σε, θυγατέρας ἀλλοφύλων τὰς ἐκκλινούσας σε ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ σου, ἧς ἠσέβησας.
[27] And if I stretch out my hand against thee, then will I abolish thy statutes, and deliver thee up to the wills of them that hate thee, even to the daughters of the Philistines that turned thee aside from the way wherein thou sinned.
[28] καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας Ασσουρ καὶ οὐδ’ οὕτως ἐνεπλήσθης· καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας καὶ οὐκ ἐνεπίπλω.
[28] And thou didst go a-whoring to the daughters of Assur, and not even thus wast thou satisfied; yea, thou didst go a-whoring, and wast not satisfied.
[29] καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς διαθήκας σου πρὸς γῆν Χαλδαίων καὶ οὐδὲ ἐν τούτοις ἐνεπλήσθης.
[29] And thou didst multiply thy covenants with the land of the Chaldeans; and not even with these wast thou satisfied.
[30] τί διαθῶ τὴν θυγατέρα σου, λέγει κύριος, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σε ταῦτα πάντα, ἔργα γυναικὸς πόρνης; καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τρισσῶς
[30] Why should I make a covenant with thy daughter, saith the Lord, while thou doest all these things, the works of a harlot? and thou hast gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with thy daughters.
[31] ἐν ταῖς θυγατράσιν σου· τὸ πορνεῖόν σου ᾠκοδόμ�
�σας ἐπὶ πάσης ἀρχῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ τὴν βάσιν σου ἐποίησας ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ καὶ ἐγένου ὡς πόρνη συνάγουσα μισθώματα.
[31] Thou hast built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and hast set up thine high place in every street; and thou didst become as a harlot gathering hires.
[32] ἡ γυνὴ ἡ μοιχωμένη ὁμοία σοι παρὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς λαμβάνουσα μισθώματα·
[32] An adulteress resembles thee, taking rewards of her husband.
[33] πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκπορνεύσασιν αὐτὴν προσεδίδου μισθώματα, καὶ σὺ δέδωκας μισθώματα πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρασταῖς σου καὶ ἐφόρτιζες αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἔρχεσθαι πρὸς σὲ κυκλόθεν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου.
[33] She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, yea, thou didst load them with rewards, that they should come to thee from every side for thy fornication.
[34] καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένον παρὰ τὰς γυναῖκας ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου, καὶ μετὰ σοῦ πεπορνεύκασιν ἐν τῷ προσδιδόναι σε μισθώματα, καὶ σοὶ μισθώματα οὐκ ἐδόθη, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένα. –
[34] And there has happened in thee perverseness in thy fornication beyond other women, and they have committed fornication with thee, in that thou givest hires over and above, and hires were not given to thee; and thus perverseness happened in thee.
[35] διὰ τοῦτο, πόρνη, ἄκουε λόγον κυρίου
[35] Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the Lord:
[36] Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἀνθ ὧν ἐξέχεας τὸν χαλκόν σου, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη σου ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου πρὸς τοὺς ἐραστάς σου καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἐνθυμήματα τῶν ἀνομιῶν σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς αἵμασιν τῶν τέκνων σου, ὧν ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς.
