1
The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
2
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, δύο γυναῖκες ἦσαν θυγατέρες μητρὸς μιᾶς,
3
And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν τῇ νεότητι αὐτῶν, ἐκεῖ ἔπεσον οἱ μαστοὶ αὐτῶν, ἐκεῖ διεπαρθενεύθησαν.
4
And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἦν Ὀολὰ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα, καὶ Ὀολιβὰ ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐγένοντό μοι, καὶ ἔτεκον υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, Σαμάρεια ἦν Ὀολὰ, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἦν Ὀολιβά.
5
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
Καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ Ὀολὰ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐπέθετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐραστὰς αὐτῆς, ἐπὶ τοὺς Ἀσσυρίους τοὺς ἐγγίζοντας αὐτῇ,
6
Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
ἐνδεδυκότας ὑακίνθινα, ἡγουμένους καὶ στρατηγούς· νεανίσκοι καὶ ἐπίλεκτοι, πάντες ἱππεῖς ἱππαζόμενοι ἐφʼ ἵππων.
7
Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
Καὶ ἔδωκε τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἐπίλεκτοι υἱοὶ Ἀσσυρίων πάντες· καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας οὓς ἐπέθετο, ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτοῖς ἐμιαίνετο.
8
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
Καὶ τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπεν, ὅτι μετʼ αὐτῆς ἐκοιμῶντο ἐν νεότητι αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτοὶ διεπαρθένευσαν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐξέχεαν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
9
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
Διατοῦτο παρέδωκα αὐτὴν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, εἰς χεῖρας υἱῶν Ἀσσυρίων, ἐφʼ οὓς ἐπετίθετο.
10
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
Αὐτοὶ ἀπεκάλυψαν τὴν αἰσχύνην αὐτῆς, υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῆς ἔλαβον, καὶ αὐτὴν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀπέκτειναν· καὶ ἐγένετο λάλημα εἰς γυναῖκας, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐκδικήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς τὰς θυγατέρας.
11
And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
Καὶ εἶδεν ἡ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῆς Ὀολιβὰ, καὶ διέφθειρε τὴν ἐπίθεσιν αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ ἐπί θεσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὴν πορνείαν τῆς τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.
12
She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἐπέθετο, ἡγουμένους καὶ στρατηγοὺς, τοὺς ἐγγὺς αὐτῆς, ἐνδεδυκότας εὐπάρυφα, ἱππεῖς ἱππαζομένους ἐφʼ ἵππων· νεανίσκοι ἐπίλεκτοι πάντες·
13
Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
Καὶ ἴδον ὅτι μεμίανται ὁδὸς μία τῶν δύο.
14
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
Καὶ προσέθετο πρὸς τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶδεν ἄνδρας ἐζωγραφημένους ἐπὶ τοῦ τοίχου, εἰκόνας Χαλδαίων ἐζωγραφημένους ἐν γραφίδι,
15
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
ἐζωσμένους ποικίλματα ἐπὶ τὰς ὀσφύας αὐτῶν, παραβαπτὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν αὐτῶν, ὄψις τρισσὴ πάντων, ὁμοίωμα υἱῶν Χαλδαίων, γῆς πατρίδος αὐτοῦ·
16
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
Καὶ ἐπέθετο ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τῇ ὁράσει ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων.
17
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
Καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς αὐτὴν υἱοὶ Βαβυλῶνος, εἰς κοίτην καταλυόντων, καὶ ἐμίαινον αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐμιάνθη ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῆς ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.
18
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
Καὶ ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπεκάλυψεν αἰσχύνην αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.
19
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὴν πορνείαν σου, τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι ἡμέραν νεότητός σου, ἐν αἷς ἐπόρνευσας ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ,
20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
καὶ ἐπέθου ἐπὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους, ὧν ὡς ὄνων αἱ σάρκες αὐτῶν, καὶ αἰδοῖα ἵππων τὰ αἰδοῖα αὐτῶν,
21
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
καὶ ἐπεσκέψω τὴν ἀνομίαν νεότητός σου, ἃ ἐποίεις ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν τῷ καταλύματί σου, οὗ οἱ μαστοὶ νεότητός σου.
22
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
Διατοῦτο, Ὀολιβὰ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω τοὺς ἐραστάς σου ἐπὶ σὲ, ἀφʼ ὧν ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή σου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν,
23
The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
υἱοὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ πάντας τοὺς Χαλδαίους, Φακοὺκ, καὶ Σουὲ, καὶ Ὑχουὲ, καὶ πάντας υἱοὺς Ἀσσυρίων μετʼ αὐτῶν, νεανίσκους ἐπιλέκτους, ἡγεμόνας καὶ στρατηγοὺς, πάντας τρισσοὺς καὶ ὀνομαστὺος, ἱππεύοντας ἐφʼ ἵππων.
24
And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
Καὶ πάντες ἥξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, ἅρματα καὶ τροχοὶ μετʼ ὄχλου λαῶν, θυρεοὶ καὶ πέλται, καὶ βαλεῖ φυλακὴν ἐπὶ σὲ κύκλῳ·
25
And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
καὶ δώσω πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν κρίμα, καὶ ἐκδικήσουσί σε ἐν τοῖς κρίμασιν αὐτῶν. Καὶ δώσω τὸν ζῆλόν μου ἐν σοὶ, καὶ ποιήσουσι μετὰ σου ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ· μυκτῆρά σου καὶ ὦτά σου ἀφελοῦσι, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καταβαλοῦσιν· αὐτοὶ υἱούς σου καὶ θυγατέρας σου λήψονται, καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους σου πῦρ καταφάγεται.
26
They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Καὶ ἐκδύσουσί σε τὸν ἱματισμόν σου, καὶ λήψονται τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου.
27
Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὰς ἀσεβείας σου ἐκ σοῦ, καὶ τὴν πορνείαν σου ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἄρῃς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ Αἰγύπτου οὐ μὴ μνησθῇς οὐκέτι.
28
For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμί σε εἰς χεῖρας ὧν μισεῖς, ἀφʼ ὧν ἀπέστη ἡ ψυχή σου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.
29
And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ ἑν μίσει, καὶ λήψονται πάντας τοὺς πόνους σου καὶ τοὺς μόχθους σου, καὶ ἔσῃ γυμνὴ καὶ αἰσχύνουσα, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται αἰσχύνη πορνείας σου· καὶ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ ἡ πορνεία σου
30
I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
ἐποίησε ταῦτά σοι, ἐν τῷ ἐκπορνεῦσαί σε ὀπίσω ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐμιαίνου ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτῶν.
31
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
Ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου ἐπορεύθης· καὶ δώσω τὸ ποτήριον αὐτὴς εἰς χεῖράς σου.
32
Thus saith the Lord God; Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, τὸ ποτήριον τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου πίεσαι, τὸ βαθὺ καὶ τὸ πλατὺ, καὶ τὸ πλεονάζον τοῦ συντελέσαι μέθην.
33
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
Καὶ ἐκλύσεως πλησθήσῃ, καὶ τὸ ποτήριον ἀφανισμοῦ, ποτήριον ἀδελφῆς σου Σαμαρείας, πίεσαι αὐτό·
34
Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
καὶ τὰς ἑορτὰς καὶ τὰς νουμηνίας αὐτῆς ἀποστρέψω· διότι ἐγὼ λελάληκα, λέγει Κύριος.
35
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐπελάθον μου, καὶ ἀπέῤῥιψάς με ὀπίσω τοῦ σώματός σου, καὶ σὺ λάβε τὴν ἀσέβειάν σου καὶ τὴν πορνείαν σου.
36
The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐ κρινεῖς τὴν Ὀολὰν καὶ τὴν Ὀολιβὰν, καὶ ἀναγγελεῖς αὐταῖς τὰς ὀνομίας αὐτῶν;
37
That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
Ὅτι ἐμοιχῶντο, καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν, τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν ἐμοιχῶντο, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐγέννησάν μοι, διήγαγον αὐτοῖς διʼ ἐμπύρων.
38
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Ἕως καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησάν μοι, τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐμίαινον, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν,
39
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
καὶ ἐν τῷ σφάζειν αὐτοὺς τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου, τοῦ βεβηλοῦν αὐτά· καὶ ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίουν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου,
40
And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
καὶ ὅτι τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς ἐρχομένοις μακρόθεν, οἷς ἀγγέλους ἐξαπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἅμα τῷ ἔρχεσθαι αὐτοὺς, εὐθὺς ἐλούου, καὶ ἐστιβίζου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, καὶ ἐκόσμου κόσμῳ,
41
And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
καὶ ἐκάθου ἐπὶ κλίνης ἐστρωμένης, καὶ τράπεζα κεκοσμημένη πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου εὐφραίνοντο ἐν αὐτοῖς,
42
And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
καὶ φωνὴν ἁρμονίας ἀνεκρούοντο, καὶ πρὸς ἄνδρας ἐκ πλήθους ἀνθρώπων ἥκοντας ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου· καὶ ἐδίδοσαν ψέλλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.
43
Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
Καὶ εἶπα, οὐκ ἐν τούτοις μοιχεύουσι; καὶ ἔργα πόρνης καὶ αὐτὴ ἐξεπόρνευσε;
44
Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
Καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτὴν, ὃν τρόπον εἰσπορεύονται πρὸς γυναῖκα πόρνην, οὕτως εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς Ὀολὰν, καὶ πρὸς Ὀολιβὰν, τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἀνομίαν.
45
And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Καὶ ἄνδρες δίκαιοι αὐτοὶ καὶ ἐκδικήσουσιν αὐτὰς ἐκδικήσει μοιχαλίδος, καὶ ἐκδικήσει αἵματος, ὅτι μοιχαλίδες εἰσὶ, καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν.
46
For thus saith the Lord God; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀνάγαγε ἐπʼ αὐτὰς ὄχλον, καὶ δὸς ἐν αὐταῖς ταραχὴν καὶ διαρπαγὴν,
47
And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
καὶ λιθοβόλησον ἐπʼ αὐτὰς λίθοις ὄχλων, καὶ κατακέντει αὐτὰς ἐν τοῖς ξίφεσιν αὐτῶν· υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοὺσι, καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἐμπρήσουσι.
48
Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
Καὶ ἀποστρέψω ἀσεβείαν ἐκ τῆς γῆς, καὶ παιδευθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσι κατὰ τὰς ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν.
49
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
Καὶ δοθήσεται ἡ ἀσέβεια ὑμῶν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων ὑμῶν λήψεσθε, καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
