Ezekiel 33 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[2] “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
[3] if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
[4] then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
[5] He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
[6] But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
[7] “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
[8] When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
[9] Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
[10] “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?” ’
[11] Tell them, ‘ “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?” ’
[12] “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
[13] When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
[14] Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
[15] if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
[16] None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
[17] “ ‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
[18] When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
[19] When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
[20] Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’ ”
[21] In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
[22] Now Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
[23] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[24] “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
[25] Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
[26] You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?” ’
[27] “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
[28] I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
[29] Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.” ’
[30] “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’
[31] They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
[32] Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
[33] “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

Ezekiel 33 (KJVS)

[1] Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[2] Son of man, speak () to the children of thy people, and say () unto them, When I bring () the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take () a man of their coasts, and set () him for their watchman: ()
[3] if when he seeth () the sword come () upon the land, he blow () the trumpet, and warn () the people;
[4] then whosoever () heareth () the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; () if the sword come, () and take him away, () his blood shall be upon his own head.
[5] He heard () the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; () his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning () shall deliver () his soul.
[6] But if the watchman () see () the sword come, () and blow () not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; () if the sword come, () and take () any person from among them, he is taken away () in his iniquity; but his blood will I require () at the watchman’s () hand.
[7] So thou, O son of man, I have set () thee a watchman () unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear () the word at my mouth, and warn () them from me.
[8] When I say () unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely () die; () if thou dost not speak () to warn () the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die () in his iniquity; but his blood will I require () at thine hand.
[9] Nevertheless, if thou warn () the wicked of his way to turn () from it; if he do not turn () from his way, he shall die () in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered () thy soul.
[10] Therefore, O thou son of man, speak () unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, () saying, () If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away () in them, how should we then live? ()
[11] Say () unto them, As I live, saith () the Lord God, I have no pleasure () in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn () from his way and live: () turn () ye, turn () ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, () O house of Israel?
[12] Therefore, thou son of man, say () unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver () him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall () thereby in the day that he turneth () from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able () to live () for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. ()
[13] When I shall say () to the righteous, that he shall surely () live; () if he trust () to his own righteousness, and commit () iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; () but for his iniquity that he hath committed, () he shall die () for it.
[14] Again, when I say () unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely () die; () if he turn () from his sin, and do () that which is lawful and right;
[15] if the wicked restore () the pledge, give again () that he had robbed, walk () in the statutes of life, without committing () iniquity; he shall surely () live, () he shall not die. ()
[16] None of his sins that he hath committed () shall be mentioned () unto him: he hath done () that which is lawful and right; he shall surely () live. ()
[17] Yet the children of thy people say, () The way of the Lord is not equal: () but as for them, their way is not equal. ()
[18] When the righteous turneth () from his righteousness, and committeth () iniquity, he shall even die () thereby.
[19] But if the wicked turn () from his wickedness, and do () that which is lawful and right, he shall live () thereby.
[20] Yet ye say, () The way of the Lord is not equal. () O ye house of Israel, I will judge () you every one after his ways.
[21] And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came () unto me, saying, () The city is smitten. ()
[22] Now the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; () and had opened () my mouth, until he came () to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, () and I was no more dumb. ()
[23] Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[24] Son of man, they that inhabit () those wastes of the land of Israel speak, () saying, () Abraham was one, and he inherited () the land: but we are many; the land is given () us for inheritance.
[25] Wherefore say () unto them, Thus saith () the Lord God; Ye eat () with the blood, and lift up () your eyes toward your idols, and shed () blood: and shall ye possess () the land?
[26] Ye stand () upon your sword, ye work () abomination, and ye defile () every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess () the land?
[27] Say () thou thus unto them, Thus saith () the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall () by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give () to the beasts to be devoured, () and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die () of the pestilence.
[28] For I will lay () the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; () and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, () that none shall pass through. ()
[29] Then shall they know () that I am the Lord, when I have laid () the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed. ()
[30] Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking () against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak () one to another, every one to his brother, saying, () Come, () I pray you, and hear () what is the word that cometh forth () from the Lord.
[31] And they come () unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit () before thee as my people, and they hear () thy words, but they will not do () them: for with their mouth they shew () much love, but their heart goeth () after their covetousness.
[32] And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well () on an instrument: () for they hear () thy words, but they do () them not.
[33] And when this cometh to pass, () (lo, it will come,) () then shall they know () that a prophet hath been among them.

[1] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[2] υιε ανθρωπου λαλησον τοις υιοις του λαου σου και ερεις προς αυτους γη εφ ην αν επαγω ρομφαιαν και λαβη ο λαος της γης ανθρωπον ενα εξ αυτων και δωσιν αυτον εαυτοις εις σκοπον
[3] και ιδη την ρομφαιαν ερχομενην επι την γην και σαλπιση τη σαλπιγγι και σημανη τω λαω
[4] και ακουση ο ακουσας την φωνην της σαλπιγγος και μη φυλαξηται και επελθη η ρομφαια και καταλαβη αυτον το αιμα αυτου επι της κεφαλης αυτου εσται
[5] οτι την φωνην της σαλπιγγος ακουσας ουκ εφυλαξατο το αιμα αυτου επ αυτου εσται και ουτος οτι εφυλαξατο την ψυχην αυτου εξειλατο
[6] και ο σκοπος εαν ιδη την ρομφαιαν ερχομενην και μη σημανη τη σαλπιγγι και ο λαος μη φυλαξηται και ελθουσα η ρομφαια λαβη εξ αυτων ψυχην αυτη δια την αυτης ανομιαν ελημφθη και το αιμα εκ της χειρος του σκοπου εκζητησω
[7] και συ υιε ανθρωπου σκοπον δεδωκα σε τω οικω ισραηλ και ακουση εκ στοματος μου λογον
[8] εν τω ειπαι με τω αμαρτωλω θανατω θανατωθηση και μη λαλησης του φυλαξασθαι τον ασεβη απο της οδου αυτου αυτος ο ανομος τη ανομια αυτου αποθανειται το δε αιμα αυτου εκ της χειρος σου εκζητησω
[9] συ δε εαν προαπαγγειλης τω ασεβει την οδον αυτου του αποστρεψαι απ αυτης και μη αποστρεψη απο της οδου αυτου ουτος τη ασεβεια αυτου αποθανειται και συ την ψυχην σαυτου εξηρησαι
[10] και συ υιε ανθρωπου ειπον τω οικω ισραηλ ουτως ελαλησατε λεγοντες αι πλαναι ημων και αι ανομιαι ημων εφ ημιν εισιν και εν αυταις ημεις τηκομεθα και πως ζησομεθα
[11] ειπον αυτοις ζω εγω ταδε λεγει κυριος ου βουλομαι τον θανατον του ασεβους ως το αποστρεψαι τον ασεβη απο της οδου αυτου και ζην αυτον αποστροφη αποστρεψατε απο της οδου υμων και ινα τι αποθνησκετε οικος ισραηλ
[12] ειπον προς τους υιους του λαου σου δικαιοσυνη δικαιου ου μη εξεληται αυτον εν η αν ημερα πλανηθη και ανομια ασεβους ου μη κακωση αυτον εν η αν ημερα αποστρεψη απο της ανομιας αυτου και δικαιος ου μη δυνηται σωθηναι
[13] εν τω ειπαι με τω δικαιω ουτος πεποιθεν επι τη δικαιοσυνη αυτου και ποιηση ανομιαν πασαι αι δικαιοσυναι αυτου ου μη αναμνησθωσιν εν τη αδικια αυτου η εποιησεν εν αυτη αποθανειται
[14] και εν τω ειπαι με τω ασεβει θανατω θανατωθηση και αποστρεψη απο της αμαρτιας αυτου και ποιηση κριμα και δικαιοσυνην
[15] και ενεχυρασμα αποδω και αρπαγμα αποτειση εν προσταγμασιν ζωης διαπορευηται του μη ποιησαι αδικον ζωη ζησεται και ου μη αποθανη
[16] πασαι αι αμαρτιαι αυτου ας ημαρτεν ου μη αναμνησθωσιν οτι κριμα και δικαιοσυνην εποιησεν εν αυτοις ζησεται
[17] και ερουσιν οι υιοι του λαου σου ουκ ευθεια η οδος του κυριου και αυτη η οδος αυτων ουκ ευθεια
[18] εν τω αποστρεψαι δικαιον απο της δικαιοσυνης αυτου και ποιηση ανομιας και αποθανειται εν αυταις
[19] και εν τω αποστρεψαι τον αμαρτωλον απο της ανομιας αυτου και ποιηση κριμα και δικαιοσυνην εν αυτοις αυτος ζησεται
[20] και τουτο εστιν ο ειπατε ουκ ευθεια η οδος κυριου εκαστον εν ταις οδοις αυτου κρινω υμας οικος ισραηλ
[21] και εγενηθη εν τω δωδεκατω ετει εν τω δωδεκατω μηνι πεμπτη του μηνος της αιχμαλωσιας ημων ηλθεν ο ανασωθεις προς με απο ιερουσαλημ λεγων εαλω η πολις
[22] και εγενηθη επ εμε χειρ κυριου εσπερας πριν ελθειν αυτον και ηνοιξεν μου το στομα εως ηλθεν προς με το πρωι και ανοιχθεν μου το στομα ου συνεσχεθη ετι
[23] και εγενηθη λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[24] υιε ανθρωπου οι κατοικουντες τας ηρημωμενας επι της γης του ισραηλ λεγουσιν εις ην αβρααμ και κατεσχεν την γην και ημεις πλειους εσμεν ημιν δεδοται η γη εις κατασχεσιν
[25] δια τουτο ειπον αυτοις ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος …
[27] ζω εγω ει μην οι εν ταις ηρημωμεναις μαχαιρα πεσουνται και οι επι προσωπου του πεδιου τοις θηριοις του αγρου δοθησονται εις καταβρωμα και τους εν ταις τετειχισμεναις και τους εν τοις σπηλαιοις θανατω αποκτενω
[28] και δωσω την γην ερημον και απολειται η υβρις της ισχυος αυτης και ερημωθησεται τα ορη του ισραηλ δια το μη ειναι διαπορευομενον
[29] και γνωσονται οτι εγω ειμι κυριος και ποιησω την γην αυτων ερημον και ερημωθησεται δια παντα τα βδελυγματα αυτων α εποιησαν
[30] και συ υιε ανθρωπου οι υιοι του λαου σου οι λαλουντες περι σου παρα τα τειχη και εν τοις πυλωσι των οικιων και λαλουσιν ανθρωπος τω αδελφω αυτου λεγοντες συνελθωμεν και ακουσωμεν τα εκπορευομενα παρα κυριου
[31] ερχονται προς σε ως συμπορευεται λαος και καθηνται εναντιον σου και ακουουσιν τα ρηματα σου και αυτα ου μη ποιησουσιν οτι ψευδος εν τω στοματι αυτων και οπισω των μιασματων η καρδια αυτων
[32] και γινη αυτοις ως φωνη ψαλτηριου ηδυφωνου ευαρμοστου και ακουσονται σου τα ρηματα και ου μη ποιησουσιν αυτα
[33] και ηνικα αν ελθη ερουσιν ιδου ηκει και γνωσονται οτι προφητης ην εν μεσω αυτων
