by Septuagint
[7] When they took hold of thee with their hand, thou didst break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on thee, thou wast utterly broken, and didst crush the loins of them all.
[8] διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀνθρώπους ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ κτήνη·
[8] Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast;
[9] καὶ ἔσται ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἀπώλεια καὶ ἔρημος, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν σε Οἱ ποταμοὶ ἐμοί εἰσιν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς.
[9] and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because thou sayest, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
[10] διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμούς σου καὶ δώσω γῆν Αἰγύπτου εἰς ἔρημον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπώλειαν ἀπὸ Μαγδώλου καὶ Συήνης καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰθιόπων.
[10] Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against all thy rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
[11] οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ποὺς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ποὺς κτήνους οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτήν, καὶ οὐ κατοικηθήσεται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
[11] No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
[12] καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς ἀπώλειαν ἐν μέσῳ γῆς ἠρημωμένης, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη· καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας.
[12] And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be desolate forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
[13] τάδε λέγει κύριος Μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη συνάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ,
[13] Thus saith the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;
[14] καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ κατοικίσω αὐτοὺς ἐν γῇ Παθουρης, ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅθεν ἐλήμφθησαν· καὶ ἔσται ἀρχὴ ταπεινὴ
[14] and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
[15] παρὰ πάσας τὰς ἀρχάς, οὐ μὴ ὑψωθῇ ἔτι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς αὐτοὺς ποιήσω τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτοὺς πλείονας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.
[15] and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all other kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be great among the nations.
[16] καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἀναμιμνῄσκουσαν ἀνομίαν ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθῆσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος.
[16] And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
[17] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[17] And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[18] Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος κατεδουλώσατο αὐτοῦ τὴν δύναμιν δουλείᾳ μεγάλῃ ἐπὶ Τύρου, πᾶσα κεφαλὴ φαλακρὰ καὶ πᾶς ὦμος μαδῶν, καὶ μισθὸς οὐκ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ καὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Τύρου καὶ τῆς δουλείας, ἧς ἐδούλευσαν ἐπ’ αὐτήν.
[18] Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army serving against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
[19] τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Ἰδοὺ δίδωμι τῷ Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος γῆν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται μισθὸς τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ·
[19] Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and it shall be a reward for his army.
[20] ἀντὶ τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἐδούλευσεν ἐπὶ Τύρον, δέδωκα αὐτῷ γῆν Αἰγύπτου. τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος
[20] In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus saith the Lord God:
[21] Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνατελεῖ κέρας παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ, καὶ σοὶ δώσω στόμα ἀνεῳγμένον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος.
[21] In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
CHAPTER 30
[1] Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[1] And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[2] Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ὦ ὦ ἡ ἡμέρα,
[2] Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Woe, woe worth the day!
[3] ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου, ἡμέρα πέρας ἐθνῶν ἔσται.
[3] For the day of the Lord is nigh, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.
[4] καὶ ἥξει μάχαιρα ἐπ’ Αἰγυπτίους, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν τῇ Αἰθιοπίᾳ, καὶ πεσοῦνται τετραυματισμένοι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ συμπεσεῖται αὐτῆς τὰ θεμέλια.
[4] And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt men shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.
[5] Πέρσαι καὶ Κρῆτες καὶ Λυδοὶ καὶ Λίβυες καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐπίμικτοι καὶ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς διαθήκης μου μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ.
[5] Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.
[6] καὶ πεσοῦνται τὰ ἀντιστηρίγματα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ καταβήσεται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχ�
�ος αὐτῆς ἀπὸ Μαγδώλου ἕως Συήνης· μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει κύριος.
[6] And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, saith the Lord.
[7] καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ χωρῶν ἠρημωμένων, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ πόλεων ἠρημωμένων ἔσονται·
[7] And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be desolate in the midst of desolate cities:
[8] καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, ὅταν δῶ πῦρ ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον καὶ συντριβῶσι πάντες οἱ βοηθοῦντες αὐτῇ.
[8] and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and when all that help her shall be broken.
[9] ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξελεύσονται ἄγγελοι σπεύδοντες ἀφανίσαι τὴν Αἰθιοπίαν, καὶ ἔσται ταραχὴ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἥκει. –
[9] In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.
[10] τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Καὶ ἀπολῶ πλῆθος Αἰγυπτίων διὰ χειρὸς Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος,
[10] Thus saith he Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,
[11] αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· λοιμοὶ ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀπολέσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐκκενώσουσιν πάντες τὰς μαχαίρας αὐτῶν ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ πλησθήσεται ἡ γῆ τραυματιῶν.
[11] his hand and his people’s; they are plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.
[12] καὶ δώσω τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐρήμους καὶ ἀπολῶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἐν χερσὶν ἀλλοτρίων· ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα. –
[12] And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.
[13] ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Καὶ ἀπολῶ μεγιστᾶνας ἀπὸ Μέμφεως καὶ ἄρχοντας ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται ἔτι.
[13] For thus saith the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.
[14] καὶ ἀπολῶ γῆν Παθουρης καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπὶ Τάνιν καὶ ποιήσω ἐκδίκησιν ἐν Διοσπόλει
[14] And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.
[15] καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ Σάιν τὴν ἰσχὺν Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸ πλῆθος Μέμφεως·
[15] And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.
[16] καὶ δώσω πῦρ ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ταραχὴν ταραχθήσεται Συήνη, καὶ ἐν Διοσπόλει ἔσται ἔκρηγμα καὶ διαχυθήσεται ὕδατα.
[16] And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.
[17] νεανίσκοι Ἡλίου πόλεως καὶ Βουβάστου ἐν μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται.
[17] The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.
[18] καὶ ἐν Ταφνας συσκοτάσει ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν τῷ συντρῖψαι με ἐκεῖ τὰ σκῆπτρα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἐκεῖ ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτὴν νεφέλη καλύψει, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς αἰχμάλωτοι ἀχθήσονται.
[18] And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.
[19] καὶ ποιήσω κρίμα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος.
[19] And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
[20] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ ἑβδόμῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[20] And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[21] Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τοὺς βραχίονας Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου συνέτριψα, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ κατεδέθη τοῦ δοθῆναι ἴασιν τοῦ δοθῆναι ἐπ’ αὐτὸν μάλαγμα τοῦ δοθῆναι ἰσχὺν ἐπιλαβέσθαι μαχαίρας.
[21] Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, or to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.
[22] διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραω βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ συντρίψω τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἰσχυροὺς καὶ τοὺς τεταμένους καὶ καταβαλῶ τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ
[22] Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will smite down his sword out of his hand.
[23] καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας·
[23] And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.
[24] καὶ κατισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ δώσω τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάξει αὐτὴν ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον καὶ προνομεύσει τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῆς καὶ σκυλεύσει τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῆς.
[24] And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.
[25] καὶ ἐνισχύσω τοὺς βραχίονας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, οἱ δὲ βραχίονες Φαραω πεσοῦνται· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος, ἐν τῷ δοῦναι τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκτενεῖ αὐτὴν ἐπὶ γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
[25] Yea, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.
[26] καὶ διασπερῶ Αἴγυπτον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ λικμήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας· καὶ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐγώ εἰ�
�ι κύριος.
[26] And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.
CHAPTER 31
[1] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
[1] And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[2] Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπὸν πρὸς Φαραω βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ τῷ πλήθει αὐτοῦ Τίνι ὡμοίωσας σεαυτὸν ἐν τῷ ὕψει σου;
[2] Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude;
To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness?
[3] ἰδοὺ Ασσουρ κυπάρισσος ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ καλὸς ταῖς παραφυάσιν καὶ ὑψηλὸς τῷ μεγέθει, εἰς μέσον νεφελῶν ἐγένετο ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ·
[3] Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
[4] ὕδωρ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτόν, ἡ ἄβυσσος ὕψωσεν αὐτόν, τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῆς ἤγαγεν κύκλῳ τῶν φυτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ συστέματα αὐτῆς ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου.
[4] The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
[5] ἕνεκεν τούτου ὑψώθη τὸ μέγεθος αὐτοῦ παρὰ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου, καὶ ἐπλατύνθησαν οἱ κλάδοι αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ὕδατος πολλοῦ.
