| 12 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων 13 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου γῆ ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ μοι τοῦ παραπεσεῖν παράπτωμα καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐ{P'} αὐτὴν καὶ συντρίψω αὐτῆς στήριγμα ἄρτου καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐ{P'} αὐτὴν λιμὸν καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη 14 καὶ ἐὰν ὦσιν οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς Νωε καὶ Δανιηλ καὶ Ιωβ αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν σωθήσονται λέγει κύριος 15 ἐὰν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τιμωρήσομαι αὐτὴν καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διοδεύων ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν θηρίων 16 καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὦσι ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος εἰ υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες σωθήσονται ἀλ{L'} ἢ αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται ἡ δὲ γῆ ἔσται εἰς ὄλεθρον 17 ἢ καὶ ῥομφαίαν ἐὰν ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην καὶ εἴπω ῥομφαία διελθάτω διὰ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος 18 καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος οὐ μὴ ῥύσωνται υἱοὺς οὐδὲ θυγατέρας αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται 19 ἢ καὶ θάνατον ἐπαποστείλω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐ{P'} αὐτὴν ἐν αἵματι τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος 20 καὶ Νωε καὶ Δανιηλ καὶ Ιωβ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος ἐὰν υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες ὑπολειφθῶσιν αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν ῥύσονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν 21 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τὰς τέσσαρας ἐκδικήσεις μου τὰς πονηράς ῥομφαίαν καὶ λιμὸν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ καὶ θάνατον ἐξαποστείλω ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος 22 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὑπολελειμμένοι ἐν αὐτῇ οἱ ἀνασεσῳσμένοι αὐτῆς οἳ ἐξάγουσιν ἐξ αὐτῆς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ἐκπορεύονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν καὶ μεταμεληθήσεσθε ἐπὶ τὰ κακά ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐ{P'} αὐτήν 23 καὶ παρακαλέσουσιν ὑμᾶς διότι ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι οὐ μάτην πεποίηκα πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτῇ λέγει κύριος |
12 And word came to me from the Lord: 13 Son of man, if a land lies deep in guilt, sin upon sin, and I cut off every source of bread; sending famine upon it to slay man and beast, 14 though three such men as Noe, Daniel, and Job were counted among its citizens, innocence of theirs no life but theirs should save. 15 If I send beasts to make a pathless wilderness of it, none daring to pass for fear of their encounter; 16 as I am a living God, the Lord says, man nor maid should those three rescue by their companionship; in a desert land they alone should live. 17 The sword if I let loose, bid the sword pass through that land to destroy man and beast, 18 as I am a living God, the Lord says, their own lives those three should ransom, and neither man nor maid besides. 19 Or if pestilence does my errand of punishment, taking deadly toll of man and beast; 20 though Noe dwell there, and Daniel, and Job, as I am a living God, the Lord says, only their own lives they shall ransom, neither man nor maid besides. 21 And what of Jerusalem, says the Lord God, when I send all four plagues on her at once, sword and famine and wild beast and pestilence, till men nor cattle are left alive there? 22 A remnant only shall survive, sons and daughters of your race led out into exile. When these reach you, and you find out what manner of folk they are in thought and deed, for the sorrows of Jerusalem you shall weep no more, though I have plagued her so abundantly. 23 From thought and deed of theirs you shall take consolation, nor doubt it was with good reason I used her thus, says the Lord God.[3] |
12 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 13
Fili hominis, terra cum peccaverit mihi,
ut prævaricetur prævaricans,
extendam manum meam super eam,
et conteram virgam panis ejus,
et immittam in eam famem,
et interficiam de ea hominem et jumentum. 14
Et si fuerint tres viri isti in medio ejus,
Noë, Daniel, et Job,
ipsi justitia sua liberabunt animas suas,
ait Dominus exercituum. 15
Quod si et bestias pessimas induxero super terram
ut vastem eam, et fuerit invia,
eo quod non sit pertransiens propter bestias: 16
tres viri isti si fuerint in ea,
vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus,
quia nec filios nec filias liberabunt,
sed ipsi soli liberabuntur,
terra autem desolabitur. 17
Vel si gladium induxero super terram illam,
et dixero gladio: Transi per terram:
et interfecero de ea hominem et jumentum, 18
et tres viri isti fuerint in medio ejus:
vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus,
non liberabunt filios neque filias,
sed ipsi soli liberabuntur. 19
Si autem et pestilentiam immisero super terram illam,
et effudero indignationem meam super eam in sanguine,
ut auferam ex ea hominem et jumentum, 20
et Noë, et Daniel, et Job fuerint in medio ejus:
vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus,
quia filium et filiam non liberabunt,
sed ipsi justitia sua liberabunt animas suas. 21
Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Quod etsi quatuor judicia mea pessima,
gladium, et famem, ac bestias malas, et pestilentiam,
immisero in Jerusalem,
ut interficiam de ea hominem et pecus, 22
tamen relinquetur in ea salvatio educentium filios et filias:
ecce ipsi ingredientur ad vos,
et videbitis viam eorum et adinventiones eorum,
et consolabimini super malo quod induxi in Jerusalem,
in omnibus quæ importavi super eam. 23
Et consolabuntur vos,
cum videritis viam eorum
et adinventiones eorum:
et cognoscetis quod non frustra fecerim omnia quæ feci in ea,
ait Dominus Deus. |
