Ezekiel 29

1In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δεκάτῳ ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

2'Son of man, set your face toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.

υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Φαραω βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπ᾿ Αἴγυπτον ὅλην

3Speak and say, 'Thus says the Lord: 'Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great dragon who lies in the midst of his rivers and says, 'The rivers are mine, for I made them.'

καὶ εἰπόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ Φαραω τὸν δράκοντα τὸν μέγαν τὸν ἐγκαθήμενον ἐν μέσῳ ποταμῶν αὐτοῦ τὸν λέγοντα ἐμοί εἰσιν οἱ ποταμοί καὶ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα αὐτούς

4But I shall put hooks in your jaws and join the fish of your rivers to your wings, and I shall bring you and all the fish of your river up from the midst of your river.

καὶ ἐγὼ δώσω παγίδας εἰς τὰς σιαγόνας σου καὶ προσκολλήσω τοὺς ἰχθῦς τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου πρὸς τὰς πτέρυγάς σου καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐκ μέσου τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου

5Then I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river. You will fall to the surface of the plain, and you will not be gathered and buried. I will give you as food to the wild animals of the field and to the birds of the heavens.

καὶ καταβαλῶ σε ἐν τάχει καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τοῦ ποταμοῦ σου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου πεσῇ καὶ οὐ μὴ συναχθῇς καὶ οὐ μὴ περισταλῇς τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς καὶ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ δέδωκά σε εἰς κατάβρωμα

6Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they were a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Αἴγυπτον ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐγενήθης ῥάβδος καλαμίνη τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ

7For when they took hold of you with their hand, you broke it, and when every hand conquered them and they rested their hand on you, you crushed it and broke all their backs.'

ὅτε ἐπελάβοντό σου τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῶν ἐθλάσθης καὶ ὅτε ἐπεκράτησεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς πᾶσα χεὶρ καὶ ὅτε ἐπανεπαύσαντο ἐπὶ σέ συνετρίβης καὶ συνέκλασας αὐτῶν πᾶσαν ὀσφύν

8'Therefore thus says the Lord: 'Behold, I will bring a sword against you, and destroy man and cattle from you.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀνθρώπους ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ κτήνη

9Thus the land of Egypt shall be destroyed and become a desert. Then they will know that I am the Lord, because you say, 'The rivers are mine, and I made them.'

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

10Therefore, behold, I am against you and against all your rivers, and I shall turn the land of Egypt into a desert, to the sword and to destruction, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the borders of Ethiopia.

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

11Neither foot of man nor foot of cattle will pass through it, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.

οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ποὺς ἀνθρώπου καὶ ποὺς κτήνους οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτήν καὶ οὐ κατοικηθήσεται τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

12I shall make the land of Egypt a destruction in the midst of a land laid waste, and her cities will be laid waste for forty years. I shall scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them like chaff throughout the countries.'

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

13'Yet, thus says the Lord: 'At the end of forty years, I shall gather the Egyptians from the nations where they were scattered.

τάδε λέγει κύριος μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη συνάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν οὗ διεσκορπίσθησαν ἐκεῖ

14I shall bring back the captives of the Egyptians and cause them to dwell in the land of Pathros, in the land from which they were taken; but they will be a lowly dominion.

καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ κατοικίσω αὐτοὺς ἐν γῇ Παθουρης ἐν τῇ γῇ ὅθεν ἐλήμφθησαν καὶ ἔσται ἀρχὴ ταπεινὴ

15Alongside all the dominions, it will not be exalted any longer among the nations, for I shall make them to be very small, so as not to be great among the nations.

παρὰ πάσας τὰς ἀρχάς οὐ μὴ ὑψωθῇ ἔτι ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς αὐτοὺς ποιήσω τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτοὺς πλείονας ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

16So they shall no longer be to the house of Israel as an expectation to remind them to follow after their lawlessness. Then they will know that I am the Lord.' ' '

καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ εἰς ἐλπίδα ἀναμιμνῄσκουσαν ἀνομίαν ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθῆσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος

17Again it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

18'Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet there was no reward to him nor his army serving against Tyre, for the labor they expended on it.

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

19Therefore thus says the Lord and Master: 'Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will plunder it and carry off her spoil. It will be the wages for his army.

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

20As compensation for his service in which he served against Tyre, I will give him the land of Egypt,' says the Lord and Master.

ἀντὶ τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ ἧς ἐδούλευσεν ἐπὶ Τύρον δέδωκα αὐτῷ γῆν Αἰγύπτου τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος

21'In that day a horn shall spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them. Then they will know that I am the Lord.'

ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀνατελεῖ κέρας παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ καὶ σοὶ δώσω στόμα ἀνεῳγμένον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος
