1  Again the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ the children¹¹²¹ of thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, When³⁵⁸⁸ I bring⁹³⁵ the sword²⁷¹⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ a land,⁷⁷⁶ if the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ take³⁹⁴⁷ a²⁵⁹ man³⁷⁶ of their coasts,^{4480 7097} and set⁵⁴¹⁴ him for their watchman:⁶⁸²²

3  If when he seeth^{7200 853} the sword²⁷¹⁹ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the land,⁷⁷⁶ he blow⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² and warn^{2094 853} the people;⁵⁹⁷¹

4  Then whosoever heareth^{8085 8085 853} the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² and taketh not warning;^{2094 3808} if the sword²⁷¹⁹ come,⁹³⁵ and take him away,³⁹⁴⁷ his blood¹⁸¹⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ upon his own head.⁷²¹⁸

5  He heard^{8085 853} the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² and took not warning;^{2094 3808} his blood¹⁸¹⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ upon him. But he¹⁹³¹ that taketh warning²⁰⁹⁴ shall deliver⁴⁴²² his soul.⁵³¹⁵

6  But if³⁵⁸⁸ the watchman⁶⁸²² see^{7200 853} the sword²⁷¹⁹ come,⁹³⁵ and blow⁸⁶²⁸ not³⁸⁰⁸ the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ be not³⁸⁰⁸ warned;²⁰⁹⁴ if the sword²⁷¹⁹ come,⁹³⁵ and take³⁹⁴⁷ any person⁵³¹⁵ from among⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, he¹⁹³¹ is taken away³⁹⁴⁷ in his iniquity;⁵⁷⁷¹ but his blood¹⁸¹⁸ will I require¹⁸⁷⁵ at the watchman's⁶⁸²² hand.^{4480 3027}

7  So thou,⁸⁵⁹ O son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a watchman⁶⁸²² unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ therefore thou shalt hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ at my mouth,^{4480 6310} and warn²⁰⁹⁴ them from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me.

8  When I say⁵⁵⁹ unto the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ O wicked⁷⁵⁶³ man, thou shalt surely die;^{4191 4191} if thou dost not³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ to warn²⁰⁹⁴ the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ from his way,^{4480 1870} that¹⁹³¹ wicked⁷⁵⁶³ man shall die⁴¹⁹¹ in his iniquity;⁵⁷⁷¹ but his blood¹⁸¹⁸ will I require¹²⁴⁵ at thine hand.^{4480 3027}

9  Nevertheless, if³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ warn²⁰⁹⁴ the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ of his way^{4480 1870} to turn⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it; if he do not³⁸⁰⁸ turn⁷⁷²⁵ from his way,^{4480 1870} he¹⁹³¹ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ in his iniquity;⁵⁷⁷¹ but thou⁸⁵⁹ hast delivered⁵³³⁷ thy soul.⁵³¹⁵

10  Therefore, O thou⁸⁵⁹ son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ speak⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Thus³⁶⁵¹ ye speak,⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ If³⁵⁸⁸ our transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ and our sins²⁴⁰³ be upon⁵⁹²¹ us, and we⁵⁸⁷ pine away⁴⁷⁴³ in them, how³⁴⁹ should we then live?²⁴²¹

11  Say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ I have no pleasure^{518 2654} in the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of the wicked;⁷⁵⁶³ but^{3588 518} that the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ turn⁷⁷²⁵ from his way^{4480 1870} and live:²⁴²¹ turn⁷⁷²⁵ ye, turn⁷⁷²⁵ ye from your evil⁷⁴⁵¹ ways;^{4480 1870} for why⁴¹⁰⁰ will ye die,⁴¹⁹¹ O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

12  Therefore, thou⁸⁵⁹ son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the children¹¹²¹ of thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ The righteousness⁶⁶⁶⁶ of the righteous⁶⁶⁶² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver⁵³³⁷ him in the day³¹¹⁷ of his transgression:⁶⁵⁸⁸ as for the wickedness⁷⁵⁶⁴ of the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ he shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fall³⁷⁸² thereby in the day³¹¹⁷ that he turneth⁷⁷²⁵ from his wickedness;^{4480 7562} neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall the righteous⁶⁶⁶² be able³²⁰¹ to live²⁴²¹ for his righteousness in the day³¹¹⁷ that he sinneth.²³⁹⁸

13  When I shall say⁵⁵⁹ to the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² that he shall surely live;^{2421 2421} if he¹⁹³¹ trust⁹⁸² to⁵⁹²¹ his own righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁶ and commit⁶²¹³ iniquity,⁵⁷⁶⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ his righteousnesses⁶⁶⁶⁶ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be remembered;²¹⁴² but for his iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ that⁸³⁴ he hath committed,⁶²¹³ he shall die⁴¹⁹¹ for it.

14  Again, when I say⁵⁵⁹ unto the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ Thou shalt surely die;^{4191 4191} if he turn⁷⁷²⁵ from his sin,^{4480 2403} and do⁶²¹³ that which is lawful⁴⁹⁴¹ and right;⁶⁶⁶⁶

15  If the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ restore⁷⁷²⁵ the pledge,²²⁵⁸ give again⁷⁹⁹⁹ that he had robbed,¹⁵⁰⁰ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in the statutes²⁷⁰⁸ of life,²⁴¹⁶ without¹¹¹⁵ committing⁶²¹³ iniquity;⁵⁷⁶⁶ he shall surely live,^{2421 2421} he shall not³⁸⁰⁸ die.⁴¹⁹¹

16  None^{3808 3605} of his sins²⁴⁰³ that⁸³⁴ he hath committed²³⁹⁸ shall be mentioned²¹⁴² unto him: he hath done⁶²¹³ that which is lawful⁴⁹⁴¹ and right;⁶⁶⁶⁶ he shall surely live.^{2421 2421}

17  Yet the children¹¹²¹ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ say,⁵⁵⁹ The way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the Lord¹³⁶ is not equal:^{8505 3808} but as for them,¹⁹⁹² their way¹⁸⁷⁰ is not equal.^{8505 3808}

18  When the righteous⁶⁶⁶² turneth⁷⁷²⁵ from his righteousness,^{4480 6666} and committeth⁶²¹³ iniquity,⁵⁷⁶⁶ he shall even die⁴¹⁹¹ thereby.

19  But if the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ turn⁷⁷²⁵ from his wickedness,^{4480 7564} and do⁶²¹³ that which is lawful⁴⁹⁴¹ and right,⁶⁶⁶⁶ he¹⁹³¹ shall live²⁴²¹ thereby.⁵⁹²¹

20  Yet ye say,⁵⁵⁹ The way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the Lord¹³⁶ is not equal.^{8505 3808} O ye house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ I will judge⁸¹⁹⁹ you every one³⁷⁶ after his ways.¹⁸⁷⁰

21  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the twelfth^{8147 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of our captivity,¹⁵⁴⁶ in the tenth⁶²²⁴ month, in the fifth²⁵⁶⁸ day of the month,²³²⁰ that one that had escaped⁶⁴¹² out of Jerusalem^{4480 3389} came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The city⁵⁸⁹² is smitten.⁵²²¹

22  Now the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁴¹³ me in the evening,⁶¹⁵³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ he that was escaped⁶⁴¹² came;⁹³⁵ and had opened^{6605 853} my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ he came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ me in the morning;¹²⁴² and my mouth⁶³¹⁰ was opened,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and I was no more dumb.^{481 3808 5750}

23  Then the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

24  Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ they that inhabit³⁴²⁷ those⁴²⁸ wastes²⁷²³ of⁵⁹²¹ the land¹²⁷ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ speak,⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Abraham⁸⁵ was¹⁹⁶¹ one,²⁵⁹ and he inherited^{3423 853} the land:⁷⁷⁶ but we⁵⁸⁷ are many;⁷²²⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ is given⁵⁴¹⁴ us for inheritance.⁴¹⁸¹

25  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Ye eat³⁹⁸ with⁵⁹²¹ the blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and lift up⁵³⁷⁵ your eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ toward⁴¹³ your idols,¹⁵⁴⁴ and shed⁸²¹⁰ blood:¹⁸¹⁸ and shall ye possess³⁴²³ the land?⁷⁷⁶

26  Ye stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ your sword,²⁷¹⁹ ye work⁶²¹³ abomination,⁸⁴⁴¹ and ye defile²⁹³⁰ every one^{376 853} his neighbor's⁷⁴⁵³ wife:⁸⁰² and shall ye possess³⁴²³ the land?⁷⁷⁶

27  Say⁵⁵⁹ thou thus³⁵⁴¹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ surely^{518 3808} they that⁸³⁴ are in the wastes²⁷²³ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and him that⁸³⁴ is in⁵⁹²¹ the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ field⁷⁷⁰⁴ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ to the beasts²⁴¹⁶ to be devoured,³⁹⁸ and they that⁸³⁴ be in the forts⁴⁶⁷⁹ and in the caves⁴⁶³¹ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ of the pestilence.¹⁶⁹⁸

28  For I will lay^{5414 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ most desolate,^{8077 4923} and the pomp¹³⁴⁷ of her strength⁵⁷⁹⁷ shall cease;⁷⁶⁷³ and the mountains²⁰²² of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall be desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁴ that none^{4480 369} shall pass through.⁵⁶⁷⁴

29  Then shall they know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when I have laid^{5414 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ most desolate^{8077 4923} because of⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ their abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ they have committed.⁶²¹³

30  Also, thou⁸⁵⁹ son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ still are talking¹⁶⁹⁶ against thee by⁶⁸¹ the walls⁷⁰²³ and in the doors⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the houses,¹⁰⁰⁴ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ one²²⁹⁷ to⁸⁵⁴ another,²⁵⁹ every one³⁷⁶ to⁸⁵⁴ his brother,²⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come,⁹³⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ is the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that cometh forth³³¹⁸ from^{4480 854} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

31  And they come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee as the people⁵⁹⁷¹ cometh,³⁹⁹⁶ and they sit³⁴²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee as my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and they hear^{8085 853} thy words,¹⁶⁹⁷ but they will not³⁸⁰⁸ do⁶²¹³ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ with their mouth⁶³¹⁰ they¹⁹⁹² show⁶²¹³ much love,⁵⁶⁹⁰ but their heart³⁸²⁰ goeth¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ their covetousness.¹²¹⁵

32  And, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou art unto them as a very lovely⁵⁶⁹⁰ song⁷⁸⁹² of one that hath a pleasant³³⁰³ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and can play well on an instrument:^{5059 3190} for they hear^{8085 853} thy words,¹⁶⁹⁷ but they do⁶²¹³ them not.³⁶⁹

33  And when this cometh to pass,⁹³⁵ (lo,²⁰⁰⁹ it will come,)⁹³⁵ then shall they know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ hath been¹⁹⁶¹ among⁸⁴³² them.

1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς γῆ ἐφ᾽ ἣν ἂν ἐπάγω ῥομφαίαν καὶ λάβῃ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἄνθρωπον ἕνα ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ δῶσιν αὐτὸν ἑαυτοῖς εἰς σκοπόν

3 καὶ ἴδῃ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἐρχομένην ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ σαλπίσῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι καὶ σημάνῃ τῷ λαῷ

4 καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούσας τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος καὶ μὴ φυλάξηται καὶ ἐπέλθῃ ἡ ῥομφαία καὶ καταλάβῃ αὐτόν τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται

5 ὅτι τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος ἀκούσας οὐκ ἐφυλάξατο τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἔσται καὶ οὗτος ὅτι ἐφυλάξατο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐξείλατο

6 καὶ ὁ σκοπός ἐὰν ἴδῃ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἐρχομένην καὶ μὴ σημάνῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι καὶ ὁ λαὸς μὴ φυλάξηται καὶ ἐλθοῦσα ἡ ῥομφαία λάβῃ ἐξ αὐτῶν ψυχήν αὕτη διὰ τὴν αὑτῆς ἀνομίαν ἐλήμφθη καὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ σκοποῦ ἐκζητήσω

7 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου σκοπὸν δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ στόματός μου λόγον

8 ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ καὶ μὴ λαλήσῃς τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς ὁ ἄνομος τῇ ἀνομίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται τὸ δὲ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἐκζητήσω

9 σὺ δὲ ἐὰν προαπαγγείλῃς τῷ ἀσεβεῖ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ οὗτος τῇ ἀσεβείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ σὺ τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ ἐξῄρησαι

10 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ οὕτως ἐλαλήσατε λέγοντες αἱ πλάναι ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν εἰσιν καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἡμεῖς τηκόμεθα καὶ πῶς ζησόμεθα

11 εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς ζῶ ἐγώ τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐ βούλομαι τὸν θάνατον τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς ὡς τὸ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζῆν αὐτόν ἀποστροφῇ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ ἵνα τί ἀποθνῄσκετε οἶκος Ισραηλ

12 εἰπὸν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ σου δικαιοσύνη δικαίου οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ πλανηθῇ καὶ ἀνομία ἀσεβοῦς οὐ μὴ κακώσῃ αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ δίκαιος οὐ μὴ δύνηται σωθῆναι

13 ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ δικαίῳ οὗτος πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ ἀνομίαν πᾶσαι αἱ δικαιοσύναι αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτοῦ ᾗ ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποθανεῖται

14 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἶπαί με τῷ ἀσεβεῖ θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην

15 καὶ ἐνεχύρασμα ἀποδῷ καὶ ἅρπαγμα ἀποτείσῃ ἐν προστάγμασιν ζωῆς διαπορεύηται τοῦ μὴ ποιῆσαι ἄδικον ζωῇ ζήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ

16 πᾶσαι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτοῦ ἃς ἥμαρτεν οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν ὅτι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ζήσεται

17 καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς τοῦ κυρίου καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα

18 ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι δίκαιον ἀπὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ ἀνομίας καὶ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν αὐταῖς

19 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσῃ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς ζήσεται

20 καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ὃ εἴπατε οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς κυρίου ἕκαστον ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ κρινῶ ὑμᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ

21 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνὶ πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμῶν ἦλθεν ὁ ἀνασωθεὶς πρός με ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ λέγων ἑάλω ἡ πόλις

22 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ χεὶρ κυρίου ἑσπέρας πρὶν ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤνοιξέν μου τὸ στόμα ἕως ἦλθεν πρός με τὸ πρωί καὶ ἀνοιχθέν μου τὸ στόμα οὐ συνεσχέθη ἔτι

23 καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

24 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς ἠρημωμένας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ισραηλ λέγουσιν εἷς ἦν Αβρααμ καὶ κατέσχεν τὴν γῆν καὶ ἡμεῖς πλείους ἐσμέν ἡμῖν δέδοται ἡ γῆ εἰς κατάσχεσιν

25 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος

27 ζῶ ἐγώ εἰ μὴν οἱ ἐν ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ πεδίου τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ δοθήσονται εἰς κατάβρωμα καὶ τοὺς ἐν ταῖς τετειχισμέναις καὶ τοὺς ἐν τοῖς σπηλαίοις θανάτῳ ἀποκτενῶ

28 καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ἔρημον καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ισραηλ διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι διαπορευόμενον

29 καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος καὶ ποιήσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἔρημον καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται διὰ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν

30 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου οἱ λαλοῦντες περὶ σοῦ παρὰ τὰ τείχη καὶ ἐν τοῖς πυλῶσι τῶν οἰκιῶν καὶ λαλοῦσιν ἄνθρωπος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες συνέλθωμεν καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα παρὰ κυρίου

31 ἔρχονται πρὸς σέ ὡς συμπορεύεται λαός καὶ κάθηνται ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἀκούουσιν τὰ ῥήματά σου καὶ αὐτὰ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν ὅτι ψεῦδος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν μιασμάτων ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν

32 καὶ γίνῃ αὐτοῖς ὡς φωνὴ ψαλτηρίου ἡδυφώνου εὐαρμόστου καὶ ἀκούσονταί σου τὰ ῥήματα καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά

33 καὶ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔλθῃ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ἥκει καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης ἦν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

2 Fili hominis, loquere ad filios populi tui, et dices ad eos: Terra, cum induxero super eam gladium, et tulerit populus terræ virum unum de novissimis suis, et constituerit eum super se speculatorem:

3 et ille viderit gladium venientem super terram, et cecinerit buccina, et annuntiaverit populo:

4 audiens autem quisquis ille est sonitum buccinæ, et non se observaverit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit eum: sanguis ipsius super caput ejus erit.

5 Sonum buccinæ audivit, et non se observavit: sanguis ejus in ipso erit. Si autem se custodierit, animam suam salvabit.

6 Quod si speculator viderit gladium venientem, et non insonuerit buccina, et populus se non custodierit, veneritque gladius, et tulerit de eis animam: ille quidem in iniquitate sua captus est; sanguinem autem ejus de manu speculatoris requiram.

7 Et tu, fili hominis, speculatorem dedi te domui Israël: audiens ergo ex ore meo sermonem, annuntiabis eis ex me.

8 Si me dicente ad impium: Impie, morte morieris: non fueris locutus ut se custodiat impius a via sua, ipse impius in iniquitate sua morietur; sanguinem autem ejus de manu tua requiram.

9 Si autem annuntiante te ad impium ut a viis suis convertatur, non fuerit conversus a via sua, ipse in iniquitate sua morietur, porro tu animam tuam liberasti.

10 Tu ergo, fili hominis, dic ad domum Israël: Sic locuti estis, dicentes: Iniquitates nostræ et peccata nostra super nos sunt, et in ipsis nos tabescimus: quomodo ergo vivere poterimus?

11 Dic ad eos: Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, nolo mortem impii, sed ut convertatur impius a via sua, et vivat. Convertimini, convertimini a viis vestris pessimis, et quare moriemini, domus Israël?

12 Tu itaque, fili hominis, dic ad filios populi tui: Justitia justi non liberabit eum, in quacumque die peccaverit, et impietas impii non nocebit ei, in quacumque die conversus fuerit ab impietate sua: et justus non poterit vivere in justitia sua, in quacumque die peccaverit.

13 Etiamsi dixero justo quod vita vivat, et confisus in justitia sua fecerit iniquitatem, omnes justitiæ ejus oblivioni tradentur, et in iniquitate sua quam operatus est, in ipsa morietur.

14 Si autem dixero impio: Morte morieris: et egerit pœnitentiam a peccato suo, feceritque judicium et justitiam,

15 et pignus restituerit ille impius, rapinamque reddiderit, in mandatis vitæ ambulaverit, nec fecerit quidquam injustum: vita vivet, et non morietur.

16 Omnia peccata ejus quæ peccavit, non imputabuntur ei: judicium et justitiam fecit: vita vivet.

17 Et dixerunt filii populi tui: Non est æqui ponderis via Domini: et ipsorum via injusta est.

18 Cum enim recesserit justus a justitia sua, feceritque iniquitates, morietur in eis.

19 Et cum recesserit impius ab impietate sua, feceritque judicium et justitiam, vivet in eis.

20 Et dicitis: Non est recta via Domini. Unumquemque juxta vias suas judicabo de vobis, domus Israël.

21 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in decimo mense, in quinta mensis transmigrationis nostræ, venit ad me qui fugerat de Jerusalem, dicens: Vastata est civitas.

22 Manus autem Domini facta fuerat ad me vespere, antequam veniret qui fugerat: aperuitque os meum donec veniret ad me mane: et aperto ore meo, non silui amplius.

23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

24 Fili hominis, qui habitant in ruinosis his super humum Israël, loquentes aiunt: Unus erat Abraham, et hæreditate possedit terram: nos autem multi sumus: nobis data est terra in possessionem.

25 Idcirco dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Qui in sanguine comeditis, et oculos vestros levatis ad immunditias vestras, et sanguinem funditis, numquid terram hæreditate possidebitis?

26 stetistis in gladiis vestris, fecistis abominationes, et unusquisque uxorem proximi sui polluit: et terram hæreditate possidebitis?

27 Hæc dices ad eos: Sic dicit Dominus Deus: Vivo ego, quia qui in ruinosis habitant, gladio cadent: et qui in agro est, bestiis tradetur ad devorandum: qui autem in præsidiis et speluncis sunt, peste morientur.

28 Et dabo terram in solitudinem et in desertum, et deficiet superba fortitudo ejus: et desolabuntur montes Israël, eo quod nullus sit qui per eos transeat:

29 et scient quia ego Dominus, cum dedero terram eorum desolatam et desertam, propter universas abominationes suas quas operati sunt.

30 Et tu, fili hominis, filii populi tui, qui loquuntur de te juxta muros et in ostiis domorum, et dicunt unus ad alterum, vir ad proximum suum, loquentes: Venite, et audiamus quis sit sermo egrediens a Domino.

31 Et veniunt ad te, quasi si ingrediatur populus, et sedent coram te populus meus: et audiunt sermones tuos, et non faciunt eos: quia in canticum oris sui vertunt illos, et avaritiam suam sequitur cor eorum.

32 Et es eis quasi carmen musicum, quod suavi dulcique sono canitur: et audiunt verba tua, et non faciunt ea.

33 Et cum venerit quod prædictum est (ecce enim venit), tunc scient quod prophetes fuerit inter eos.
