Ezekiel Prepares for Exile

1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
1 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying, 1 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, you dwells in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם בְּתֹ֥וךְ בֵּית־הַמֶּ֖רִי אַתָּ֣ה יֹשֵׁ֑ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר עֵינַיִם֩ לָהֶ֨ם לִרְאֹ֜ות וְלֹ֣א רָא֗וּ אָזְנַ֨יִם לָהֶ֤ם לִשְׁמֹ֙עַ֙ וְלֹ֣א שָׁמֵ֔עוּ כִּ֛י בֵּ֥ית מְרִ֖י הֵֽם׃


3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare you stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and you shall remove from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

וְאַתָּ֣ה בֶן־אָדָ֗ם עֲשֵׂ֤ה לְךָ֙ כְּלֵ֣י גֹולָ֔ה וּגְלֵ֥ה יֹומָ֖ם לְעֵֽינֵיהֶ֑ם וְגָלִ֨יתָ מִמְּקֹומְךָ֜ אֶל־מָקֹ֤ום אַחֵר֙ לְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם אוּלַ֣י יִרְא֔וּ כִּ֛י בֵּ֥ית מְרִ֖י הֵֽמָּה׃

3 καὶ σύ,
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν,
ὅπως ἴδωσιν,
διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστίν.
3 καὶ σύ,
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν,
ὅπως ἴδωσι,
διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί.
3 And you, son of man, make for yourself baggage of captivity by day before them, and you shall be taken captive from your place to another place before them so that they see, because it is an infuriating house. 3 And you, son of man, make for yourself baggage of captivity by day before them, and you shall be taken captive from your place to another place before them so that they see, because it is an infuriating house.

4 Then shall you bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and you shall go forth at even in their sight, as they who go forth into captivity.

וְהֹוצֵאתָ֨ כֵלֶ֜יךָ כִּכְלֵ֥י גֹולָ֛ה יֹומָ֖ם לְעֵֽינֵיהֶ֑ם וְאַתָּ֗ה תֵּצֵ֤א בָעֶ֙רֶב֙ לְעֵ֣ינֵיהֶ֔ם כְּמֹוצָאֵ֖י גֹּולָֽה׃

4 καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν,
καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος·
4 καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν,
καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος·
4 And you shall carry out your baggage, baggage of captivity, by day before their eyes, and you shall go out in the evening as a captive goes out. 4 And you shall carry out your baggage, baggage of captivity, by day before their eyes, and you shall go out in the evening as a captive goes out.

5 Dig you through the wall in their sight, and carry out by it.

לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם חֲתָר־לְךָ֣ בַקִּ֑יר וְהֹוצֵאתָ֖ בֹּֽו׃

5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δι’ αὐτοῦ· 5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δι’ αὐτοῦ·
5 In front of them, dig a hole into the wall for yourself, and you shall go out through it. 5 In front of them, dig a hole into the wall for yourself, and you shall go out through it.

6 In their sight shall you bear it upon your shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: you shall cover your face, that you see not the ground: for I have set you for a sign unto the house of Israel.

לְעֵ֨ינֵיהֶ֜ם עַל־כָּתֵ֤ף תִּשָּׂא֙ בָּעֲלָטָ֣ה תֹוצִ֔יא פָּנֶ֣יךָ תְכַסֶּ֔ה וְלֹ֥א תִרְאֶ֖ה אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי־מֹופֵ֥ת נְתַתִּ֖יךָ לְבֵ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

6 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀναλημφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ,
τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν· διότι τέρας δέδωκά σὲ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
6 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀναληφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ,

7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I carried it upon my shoulder in their sight.

וָאַ֣עַשׂ כֵּן֮ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר צֻוֵּיתִי֒ כֵּ֠לַי הֹוצֵ֜אתִי כִּכְלֵ֤י גֹולָה֙ יֹומָ֔ם וּבָעֶ֛רֶב חָתַֽרְתִּי־לִ֥י בַקִּ֖יר בְּיָ֑ד בָּעֲלָטָ֥ה הֹוצֵ֛אתִי עַל־כָּתֵ֥ף נָשָׂ֖אתִי לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃

7 καὶ ἐποίησα οὕτως κατὰ πάντα,
ὅσα ἐνετείλατό μοι,
καὶ σκεύη ἐξήνεγκα ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας καὶ ἑσπέρας διώρυξα ἐμαυτῷ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξῆλθον,
ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀνελήμφθην ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
7 καὶ ἐποίησα οὕτως κατὰ πάντας,

8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

וַיְהִ֧י דְבַר־יְהוָ֛ה אֵלַ֖י בַּבֹּ֥קֶר לֵאמֹֽר׃

8 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με τὸ πρωῒ λέγων 8 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου τὸ πρωῒ πρός με λέγων·
8 And a word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying, 8 And a word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,

9 Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto you, What do you?

בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הֲלֹ֨א אָמְר֥וּ אֵלֶ֛יךָ בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑רִי מָ֖ה אַתָּ֥ה עֹשֶֽׂה׃

9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
οὐκ εἶπαν πρὸς σὲ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οἶκος παραπικραίνων τί σὺ ποιεῖς;
9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
οὐκ εἶπαν πρός σὲ οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
οἶκος παραπικραίνων· τί σὺ ποιεῖς;
9 Son of man, didn’t the house of Israēl, the infuriating house, say to you, “What are you doing?” 9 Son of man, didn’t the house of Israēl, the infuriating house, say to you, “What are you doing?”

10 Say you unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

אֱמֹ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֑ה הַנָּשִׂ֞יא הַמַּשָּׂ֤א הַזֶּה֙ בִּיר֣וּשָׁלַ֔ם וְכָל־בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֥מָּה בְתֹוכָֽם׃

10 εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος ἄρχων καὶ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ,
οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
10 εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἄρχων καὶ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ παντὶ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ,
οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
10 Say to them, “This is what the Lord, the Lord says: The ruler and the leader are in Jerousalēm and in all the house of Israēl, who are in their midst.” 10 Say to them, “This is what the Lord, the Lord says: The ruler and the leader are in Jerousalēm and in all the house of Israēl, who are in their midst.”

11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

אֱמֹ֖ר אֲנִ֣י מֹֽופֶתְכֶ֑ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֗יתִי כֵּ֚ן יֵעָשֶׂ֣ה לָהֶ֔ם בַּגֹּולָ֥ה בַשְּׁבִ֖י יֵלֵֽכוּ׃

11 εἰπὸν ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα,
οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
11 εἰπόν,
ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα,
οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται,
11 Say: “I am making signs in its midst. As I have done, so shall it be for them; they shall go into expulsion and into captivity,” 11 Say: “I am making signs in its midst. As I have done, so shall it be for them; they shall go into expulsion and into captivity,”

12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out by it: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

וְהַנָּשִׂ֨יא אֲשֶׁר־בְּתֹוכָ֜ם אֶל־כָּתֵ֤ף יִשָּׂא֙ בָּעֲלָטָ֣ה וְיֵצֵ֔א בַּקִּ֥יר יַחְתְּר֖וּ לְהֹ֣וצִיא בֹ֑ו פָּנָ֣יו יְכַסֶּ֔ה יַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹא־יִרְאֶ֥ה לַעַ֣יִן ה֖וּא אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

12 καὶ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐπ’ ὤμων ἀρθήσεται καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσεται διὰ τοῦ τοίχου,
καὶ διορύξει τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν δι’ αὐτοῦ· τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ συγκαλύψει,
ὅπως μὴ ὁραθῇ ὀφθαλμῷ,
καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν γῆν οὐκ ὄψεται.

13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

וּפָרַשְׂתִּ֤י אֶת־רִשְׁתִּי֙ עָלָ֔יו וְנִתְפַּ֖שׂ בִּמְצֽוּדָתִ֑י וְהֵבֵאתִ֨י אֹתֹ֤ו בָבֶ֙לָה֙ אֶ֣רֶץ כַּשְׂדִּ֔ים וְאֹותָ֥הּ לֹֽא־יִרְאֶ֖ה וְשָׁ֥ם יָמֽוּת׃

13 καὶ ἐκπετάσω τὸ δίκτυόν μου ἐπ’ αὐτόν,
καὶ συλλημφθήσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ μου,
καὶ ἄξω αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων,
καὶ αὐτὴν οὐκ ὄψεται καὶ ἐκεῖ τελευτήσει.

14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

וְכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר סְבִיבֹתָ֥יו וְכָל־אֲגַפָּ֖יו אֱזָרֶ֣ה לְכָל־ר֑וּחַ וְחֶ֖רֶב אָרִ֥יק אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃


15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בַּהֲפִיצִ֤י אֹותָם֙ בַּגֹּויִ֔ם וְזֵרִיתִ֥י אֹותָ֖ם בָּאֲרָצֹֽות׃

15 καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν,

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

17 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 17 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
17 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18 Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness;

בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם לַחְמְךָ֖ בְּרַ֣עַשׁ תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּמֵימֶ֕יךָ בְּרָגְזָ֥ה וּבִדְאָגָ֖ה תִּשְׁתֶּֽה׃

18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
τὸν ἄρτον σου μετ’ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι
18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
τὸν ἄρτον σου μετὰ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι
18 Son of man, you shall eat your bread in grief, and you shall drink your water in torture and suffering, 18 Son of man, you shall eat your bread in grief, and you shall drink your water in torture and suffering,

19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.

וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֶל־עַ֣ם הָאָ֡רֶץ כֹּֽה־אָמַר֩ אֲדֹנָ֨י יְהוִ֜ה לְיֹושְׁבֵ֤י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ אֶל־אַדְמַ֣ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לַחְמָם֙ בִּדְאָגָ֣ה יֹאכֵ֔לוּ וּמֵֽימֵיהֶ֖ם בְּשִׁמָּמֹ֣ון יִשְׁתּ֑וּ לְמַ֜עַן תֵּשַׁ֤ם אַרְצָהּ֙ מִמְּלֹאָ֔הּ מֵחֲמַ֖ס כָּֽל־הַיֹּשְׁבִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

19 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς τάδε λέγει κύριος τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτῶν μετ’ ἐνδείας φάγονται καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀφανισμοῦ πίονται,
ὅπως ἀφανισθῇ γῆ σὺν πληρώματι αὐτῆς,

19 and you shall say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord says to the inhabitants of Jerousalēm in the land of Israēl: They shall eat their bread with deficiency, and they shall drink their water in annihilation so that the land is extinguished together with its fullness, for all who live in it are in impiety, 19 and you shall say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord says to the inhabitants of Jerousalēm in the land of Israēl: They shall eat their bread with deficiency, and they shall drink their water in annihilation so that the land is extinguished together with its fullness, for all who live in it are in impiety,

20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

וְהֶעָרִ֤ים הַנֹּֽושָׁבֹות֙ תֶּחֱרַ֔בְנָה וְהָאָ֖רֶץ שְׁמָמָ֣ה תִֽהְיֶ֑ה וִֽידַעְתֶּ֖ם כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

20 καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται,

21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

21 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 21 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
21 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying, 21 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying,

22 Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם מָֽה־הַמָּשָׁ֤ל הַזֶּה֙ לָכֶ֔ם עַל־אַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר יַֽאַרְכוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וְאָבַ֖ד כָּל־חָזֹֽון׃

22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τίς ὑμῖν παραβολὴ αὕτη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις; 22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
τίς παραβολὴ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ λέγοντες· μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι,
ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις;
22 Son of man, what is this parable of yours about the land of Israēl as they are saying, “The days are far away, the vision has vanished?” 22 Son of man, what is this parable of yours about the land of Israēl as they are saying, “The days are far away, the vision has vanished?”

23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם כֹּֽה־אָמַר֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ הִשְׁבַּ֙תִּי֙ אֶת־הַמָּשָׁ֣ל הַזֶּ֔ה וְלֹֽא־יִמְשְׁל֥וּ אֹתֹ֛ו עֹ֖וד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֚י אִם־דַּבֵּ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם קָֽרְבוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וּדְבַ֖ר כָּל־חָזֹֽון׃

23 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην,
καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσιν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς ἠγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως·
23 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην,
καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς· ἠγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως·
23 Therefore, say to them, “This is what the Lord says: And I will reverse the parable, and the house of Israēl shall no longer speak this parable,” because you shall speak to them, “The days and word of every vision have come near.” 23 Therefore, say to them, “This is what the Lord says: And I will reverse the parable, and the house of Israēl shall no longer speak this parable,” because you shall speak to them, “The days and word of every vision have come near.”

24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

כִּ֠י לֹ֣א יִֽהְיֶ֥ה עֹ֛וד כָּל־חֲזֹ֥ון שָׁ֖וְא וּמִקְסַ֣ם חָלָ֑ק בְּתֹ֖וךְ בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, 24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
24 For there shall no longer be any false vision nor one giving divination for favour in the midst of the sons of Israēl. 24 For there shall no longer be any false vision nor one giving divination for favour in the midst of the sons of Israēl.

25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, Oh rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, says the Lord GOD.

25 διότι ἐγὼ κύριος λαλήσω τοὺς λόγους μου,

ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν,
οἶκος παραπικραίνων,
λαλήσω λόγον καὶ ποιήσω,
λέγει κύριος.

λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ μηκύνω ἔτι· ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν,
οἶκος παραπικραίνων,
λαλήσω λόγον καὶ ποιήσω,
λέγει Κύριος.

26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

26 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 26 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
26 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying, 26 And a word of the Lord came to me, saying,

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off.

בֶּן־אָדָ֗ם הִנֵּ֤ה בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֹֽמְרִ֔ים הֶחָזֹ֛ון אֲשֶׁר־ה֥וּא חֹזֶ֖ה לְיָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וּלְעִתִּ֥ים רְחֹוקֹ֖ות ה֥וּא נִבָּֽא׃

27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
ἰδοὺ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν ὅρασις,
ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ,
εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς,
καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει.
27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου,
ἰδοὺ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν· ὅρασις,
ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ,
εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς,
καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει.

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord GOD.

לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה לֹא־תִמָּשֵׁ֥ךְ עֹ֖וד כָּל־דְּבָרָ֑י אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲדַבֵּ֤ר דָּבָר֙ וְיֵ֣עָשֶׂ֔ה נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

28 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου,
οὓς ἄν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω,
λέγει κύριος.

οὓς ἄν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω,
λέγει Κύριος.
