1
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord;
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ προφητεύσεις, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου·
3
Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐαὶ τοῖς προφητεύουσιν ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ καθόλου μὴ βλέπουσιν.
4
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Ὡς ἀλώπεκες ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις οἱ προφῆταί σου, Ἰσραήλ·
5
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
Οὐκ ἔστησαν ἐν στερεώματι· καὶ συνήγαγον ποίμνια ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· οὐκ ἀνέστησαν οἱ λέγοντες, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ Κυρίου,
6
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
βλέποντες ψευδῆ, μαντευόμενοι μάταια, οἱ λέγοντες, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ Κύριος οὐκ ἀπέσταλκεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἤρξαντο τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι λόγον.
7
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Οὐχὶ ὅρασιν ψευδῆ ἑωράκατε; καὶ μαντείας ματαίας εἰρήκατε;
8
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.
Καὶ διατοῦτο εἰπὸν, Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἄνθʼ ὧν οἱ λόγοι ὑμῶν ψευδεῖς, καὶ αἱ μαντεῖαι ὑμῶν μάταιαι, διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος.
9
And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
Καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς ὁρῶντας ψευδῆ, καὶ τοὺς ἀποφθεγγομένους μάταια· ἐν παιδείᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ μου οὐκ ἔσονται, οὐδὲ ἐν γραφῇ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ οὐ γραφήσονται, καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται, καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος·
10
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐπλάνησαν τὸν λαόν μου, λέγοντες, εἰρήνη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη· καὶ οὗτος οἰκοδομεῖ τοῖχον, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀλείφουσιν αὐτὸν, πεσεῖται.
11
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Εἰπὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἀλείφοντας, πεσεῖται, καὶ ἔσται ὑετὸς κατακλύζων, καὶ δώσω λίθους πετροβόλους εἰς τοὺς ἐνδέσμους αὐτῶν, καὶ πεσοῦνται, καὶ πνεῦμα ἐξαῖρον, καὶ ῥαγήσεται.
12
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Καὶ ἰδοὺ πέπτωκεν ὁ τοῖχος, καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ ἀλοιφὴ ὑμῶν ἣν ἠλείψατε;
13
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ῥήξω πνοὴν ἐξαίρουσαν μετὰ θυμοῦ, καὶ ὑετὸς κατακλύζων ἐν ὀργῇ μου ἔσται· καὶ τοὺς λίθους τοὺς πετροβόλους ἐν θυμῷ ἐπάξω εἰς συντέλειαν·
14
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Καὶ κατασκάψω τὸν τοῖχον ὃν ἠλείψατε, και πεσεῖται· καὶ θήσω αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσεῖται, καὶ συντελεσθήσεσθε μετʼ ἐλέγχων, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
15
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
Καὶ συντελέσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλείφοντας αὐτὸν, πεσεῖται· καὶ εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ τοῖχος, οὐδὲ οἱ ἀλείφοντες αὐτὸν,
16
To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God.
προφῆται τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οἱ προφητεύοντες ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἱ ὁρῶντες αὐτῇ εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη, λέγει Κύριος.
17
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ λαοῦ σου, τὰς προφητευούσας ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπʼ αὐτὰς,
18
And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐαὶ ταῖς συῤῥαπτούσαις προσκεφάλαια ὑπὸ πάντα ἀγκῶνα χειρὸς, καὶ ποιούσαις ἐπιβόλαια ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν πάσης ἡλικίας, τοῦ διαστρέφειν ψυχάς· αἱ ψυχαὶ διεστράφησαν τοῦ λαοῦ μου· καὶ ψυχὰς περιεποιοῦντο.
19
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Καὶ ἐβεβήλουν με πρὸς τὸν λαόν μου, ἕνεκεν δρακὸς κριθῶν, καὶ ἕνεκεν κλασμάτων ἄρτων, τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι ψυχὰς ἃς οὐκ ἔδει ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ τοῦ περιποιήσασθαι ψυχὰς ἃς οὐκ ἔδει ζῆσαι, ἐν τῷ ἀποφθέγγεσθαι ὑμᾶς λαῷ εἰσακούοντι μάταια ἀποφθέγματα.
20
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὰ προσκεφάλαια ὑμῶν, ἐφʼ ἃ ὑμεῖς ἐκεῖ συστρέφετε ψυχάς· καὶ διαῤῥήξω αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν βραχιόνων ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ τὰς ψυχὰς ἃς ὑμεῖς ἐκστρέφετε τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν εἰς διασκορπισμόν.
21
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Καὶ διαῤῥήξω τὰ ἐπιβόλαια ὑμῶν, καὶ ῥύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν εἰς συστροφήν· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
22
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Ἀνθʼ ὧν διεστρέψετε καρδίαν δικαίου, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐ διέστρεφον αὐτὸν, καὶ τοῦ κατισχῦσαι χεῖρας ἀνόμου τὸ καθόλου μὴ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ ζῆσαι αὐτόν·
23
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Διατοῦτο ψευδῆ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε, καὶ μαντείας οὐ μὴ μαντεύσησθε ἔτι· καὶ ῥύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
