Ezekiel 22 (WEBP)

[1] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[2] “You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
[3] You shall say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
[4] You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
[5] Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
[6] “ ‘ “Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
[7] In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
[8] You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
[9] Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.
[10] In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
[11] One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
[12] In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.
[13] “ ‘ “Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
[14] Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it.
[15] I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
[16] You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
[17] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[18] “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
[19] Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
[20] As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
[21] Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
[22] As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.’ ”
[23] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[24] “Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
[25] There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
[26] Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them.
[27] Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
[28] Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,’ when Yahweh has not spoken.
[29] The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
[30] “I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
[31] Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord Yahweh.

[6] Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed () blood.

[8] Thou hast despised () mine holy things, and hast profaned () my sabbaths.
[9] In thee are men that carry tales to shed () blood: and in thee they eat () upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit () lewdness.

[20] As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow () the fire upon it, to melt () it; so will I gather () you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave () you there, and melt () you.

[24] Son of man, say () unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, () nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
[25] There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring () lion ravening () the prey; they have devoured () souls; they have taken () the treasure and precious things; they have made her many () widows in the midst thereof.
[26] Her priests have violated () my law, and have profaned () mine holy things: they have put no difference () between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed () difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid () their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned () among them.
[27] Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening () the prey, to shed () blood, and to destroy () souls, to get () dishonest gain.
[28] And her prophets have daubed () them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining () lies unto them, saying, () Thus saith () the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken. ()

[1] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[2] και συ υιε ανθρωπου ει κρινεις την πολιν των αιματων και παραδειξον αυτη πασας τας ανομιας αυτης
[3] και ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ω πολις εκχεουσα αιματα εν μεσω αυτης του ελθειν καιρον αυτης και ποιουσα ενθυμηματα καθ αυτης του μιαινειν αυτην
[4] εν τοις αιμασιν αυτων οις εξεχεας παραπεπτωκας και εν τοις ενθυμημασιν σου οις εποιεις εμιαινου και ηγγισας τας ημερας σου και ηγαγες καιρον ετων σου δια τουτο δεδωκα σε εις ονειδος τοις εθνεσιν και εις εμπαιγμον πασαις ταις χωραις
[5] ταις εγγιζουσαις προς σε και ταις μακραν απεχουσαις απο σου και εμπαιξονται εν σοι ακαθαρτος η ονομαστη και πολλη εν ταις ανομιαις
[6] ιδου οι αφηγουμενοι οικου ισραηλ εκαστος προς τους συγγενεις αυτου συνανεφυροντο εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν αιμα
[7] πατερα και μητερα εκακολογουν εν σοι και προς τον προσηλυτον ανεστρεφοντο εν αδικιαις εν σοι ορφανον και χηραν κατεδυναστευον εν σοι
[8] και τα αγια μου εξουδενουν και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν εν σοι
[9] ανδρες λησται εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν εν σοι αιμα και επι των ορεων ησθοσαν εν σοι ανοσια εποιουν εν μεσω σου
[10] αισχυνην πατρος απεκαλυψαν εν σοι και εν ακαθαρσιαις αποκαθημενην εταπεινουν εν σοι
[11] εκαστος την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου ηνομουσαν και εκαστος την νυμφην αυτου εμιαινεν εν ασεβεια και εκαστος την αδελφην αυτου θυγατερα του πατρος αυτου εταπεινουν εν σοι
[12] δωρα ελαμβανοσαν εν σοι οπως εκχεωσιν αιμα τοκον και πλεονασμον ελαμβανοσαν εν σοι και συνετελεσω συντελειαν κακιας σου την εν καταδυναστεια εμου δε επελαθου λεγει κυριος
[13] εαν δε παταξω χειρα μου προς χειρα μου εφ οις συντετελεσαι οις εποιησας και επι τοις αιμασιν σου τοις γεγενημενοις εν μεσω σου
[14] ει υποστησεται η καρδια σου ει κρατησουσιν αι χειρες σου εν ταις ημεραις αις εγω ποιω εν σοι εγω κυριος λελαληκα και ποιησω
[15] και διασκορπιω σε εν τοις εθνεσιν και διασπερω σε εν ταις χωραις και εκλειψει η ακαθαρσια σου εκ σου
[16] και κατακληρονομησω εν σοι κατ οφθαλμους των εθνων και γνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος
[17] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[18] υιε ανθρωπου ιδου γεγονασι μοι ο οικος ισραηλ αναμεμειγμενοι παντες χαλκω και σιδηρω και κασσιτερω και μολιβω εν μεσω αργυριου αναμεμειγμενος εστιν
[19] δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων εγενεσθε παντες εις συγκρασιν μιαν δια τουτο εγω εισδεχομαι υμας εις μεσον ιερουσαλημ
[20] καθως εισδεχεται αργυρος και χαλκος και σιδηρος και κασσιτερος και μολιβος εις μεσον καμινου του εκφυσησαι εις αυτο πυρ του χωνευθηναι ουτως εισδεξομαι υμας εν οργη μου και συναξω και χωνευσω υμας
[21] και εκφυσησω εφ υμας εν πυρι οργης μου και χωνευθησεσθε εν μεσω αυτης
[22] ον τροπον χωνευεται αργυριον εν μεσω καμινου ουτως χωνευθησεσθε εν μεσω αυτης και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εξεχεα τον θυμον μου εφ υμας
[23] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[24] υιε ανθρωπου ειπον αυτη συ ει γη η ου βρεχομενη ουδε υετος εγενετο επι σε εν ημερα οργης
[25] ης οι αφηγουμενοι εν μεσω αυτης ως λεοντες ωρυομενοι αρπαζοντες αρπαγματα ψυχας κατεσθιοντες εν δυναστεια τιμας λαμβανοντες εν αδικια και αι χηραι σου επληθυνθησαν εν μεσω σου
[26] και οι ιερεις αυτης ηθετησαν νομον μου και εβεβηλουν τα αγια μου ανα μεσον αγιου και βεβηλου ου διεστελλον και ανα μεσον ακαθαρτου και του καθαρου ου διεστελλον και απο των σαββατων μου παρεκαλυπτον τους οφθαλμους αυτων και εβεβηλουμην εν μεσω αυτων
[27] οι αρχοντες αυτης εν μεσω αυτης ως λυκοι αρπαζοντες αρπαγματα του εκχεαι αιμα οπως πλεονεξια πλεονεκτωσιν
[28] και οι προφηται αυτης αλειφοντες αυτους πεσουνται ορωντες ματαια μαντευομενοι ψευδη λεγοντες ταδε λεγει κυριος και κυριος ου λελαληκεν
[29] λαον της γης εκπιεζουντες αδικια και διαρπαζοντες αρπαγματα πτωχον και πενητα καταδυναστευοντες και προς τον προσηλυτον ουκ αναστρεφομενοι μετα κριματος
[30] και εζητουν εξ αυτων ανδρα αναστρεφομενον ορθως και εστωτα προ προσωπου μου ολοσχερως εν καιρω της γης του μη εις τελος εξαλειψαι αυτην και ουχ ευρον
[31] και εξεχεα επ αυτην θυμον μου εν πυρι οργης μου του συντελεσαι τας οδους αυτων εις κεφαλας αυτων δεδωκα λεγει κυριος κυριος
