| 36 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου οὐ κρινεῖς τὴν Οολαν καὶ τὴν Οολιβαν καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς αὐταῖς τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν 37 ὅτι ἐμοιχῶντο καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν ἐμοιχῶντο καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἃ ἐγέννησάν μοι διήγαγον αὐτοῖς δ{I'} ἐμπύρων 38 ἕως καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησάν μοι τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐμίαινον καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν 39 καὶ ἐν τῷ σφάζειν αὐτοὺς τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου τοῦ βεβηλοῦν αὐτά καὶ ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίουν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ οἴκου μου 40 καὶ ὅτι τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς ἐρχομένοις μακρόθεν οἷς ἀγγέλους ἐξαπεστέλλοσαν πρὸς αὐτούς καὶ ἅμα τῷ ἔρχεσθαι αὐτοὺς εὐθὺς ἐλούου καὶ ἐστιβίζου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἐκόσμου κόσμῳ 41 καὶ ἐκάθου ἐπὶ κλίνης ἐστρωμένης καὶ τράπεζα κεκοσμημένη πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου εὐφραίνοντο ἐν αὐτοῖς 42 καὶ φωνὴν ἁρμονίας ἀνεκρούοντο καὶ πρὸς ἄνδρας ἐκ πλήθους ἀνθρώπων ἥκοντας ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐδίδοσαν ψέλια ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν 43 καὶ εἶπα οὐκ ἐν τούτοις μοιχεύουσιν καὶ ἔργα πόρνης καὶ αὐτὴ ἐξεπόρνευσεν 44 καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτήν ὃν τρόπον εἰσπορεύονται πρὸς γυναῖκα πόρνην οὕτως εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς Οολαν καὶ πρὸς Οολιβαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἀνομίαν 45 καὶ ἄνδρες δίκαιοι αὐτοὶ ἐκδικήσουσιν αὐτὰς ἐκδικήσει μοιχαλίδος καὶ ἐκδικήσει αἵματος ὅτι μοιχαλίδες εἰσίν καὶ αἷμα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν 46 τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος ἀνάγαγε ἐ{P'} αὐτὰς ὄχλον καὶ δὸς ἐν αὐταῖς ταραχὴν καὶ διαρπαγὴν 47 καὶ λιθοβόλησον ἐ{P'} αὐτὰς λίθοις ὄχλων καὶ κατακέντει αὐτὰς ἐν τοῖς ξίφεσιν αὐτῶν υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἀποκτενοῦσι καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἐμπρήσουσιν 48 καὶ ἀποστρέψω ἀσέβειαν ἐκ τῆς γῆς καὶ παιδευθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν κατὰ τὰς ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν 49 καὶ δοθήσεται ἡ ἀσέβεια ὑμῶν ἐ{F'} ὑμᾶς καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων ὑμῶν λήμψεσθε καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος |
36 Arraign them, son of man, the Lord God said to me; confront Oölla and Oöliba with the record of their foul deeds. 37 Blood-stained those adulterous hands; false gods they have taken for their paramours, and to the greed of false gods sacrificed their own children and mine. 38 Theirs to defile my sanctuary, profane my sabbath; 39 no sooner had they done offering their sons to false gods, than my sanctuary must be violated; so would they treat me in my own house. 40 And then they sent word to their paramours, summoning them from afar.
They came, those paramours; and thou, fresh from the bath, eyes painted, all thy ornaments hung about thee, 41 didst await them, sitting on a fine bed with a table before it; incense of mine, oil of mine was there. 42 What a stir was heard there, as of a great throng taking their ease! They had brought in a rabble of desert folk with them, and these must be given bracelets for their arms, fine garlands for their heads. 43 And I wondered whether she would grant them her favours, even she, that had grown so old in unfaithfulness; 44 but sure enough they went in, boldly as to a harlot’s bed.[2]
Such lovers had Oölla and Oöliba, wantons both. 45 Yet honest folk there be,[3] that can judge their deeds as adultery should be judged and murder; adulterous they are and murderous both at once. 46 Muster me a company of such men, the Lord God says, and let them make a fearful example of these women, their prize. 47 With stones from many hands, with swords from every side dispatch them; death for their children, the fire for their homes! 48 Rid we the land of its guilt; of such harlotry let all women beware! 49 Wantonness punished, idolatry’s guilt uncondoned; you shall know the Lord’s power at last. |
36 Et ait Dominus ad me, dicens:
Fili hominis, numquid judicas Oollam et Oolibam,
et annuntias eis scelera earum? 37
Quia adulteratæ sunt, et sanguis in manibus earum,
et cum idolis suis fornicatæ sunt:
insuper et filios suos quos genuerunt mihi,
obtulerunt eis ad devorandum. 38
Sed et hoc fecerunt mihi:
polluerunt sanctuarium meum in die illa,
et sabbata mea profanaverunt. 39
Cumque immolarent filios suos idolis suis,
et ingrederentur sanctuarium meum in die illa ut polluerent illud,
etiam hæc fecerunt in medio domus meæ. 40
Miserunt ad viros venientes de longe,
ad quos nuntium miserant:
itaque ecce venerunt quibus te lavisti,
et circumlinisti stibio oculos tuos,
et ornata es mundo muliebri. 41
Sedisti in lecto pulcherrimo,
et mensa ornata est ante te:
thymiama meum et unguentum meum posuisti super eam. 42
Et vox multitudinis exsultantis erat in ea:
et in viris, qui de multitudine hominum adducebantur,
et veniebant de deserto,
posuerunt armillas in manibus eorum,
et coronas speciosas in capitibus eorum. 43
Et dixi ei, quæ attrita est in adulteriis:
Nunc fornicabitur in fornicatione sua etiam hæc. 44
Et ingressi sunt ad eam quasi ad mulierem meretricem:
sic ingrediebantur ad Oollam et Oolibam, mulieres nefarias. 45
Viri ergo justi sunt:
hi judicabunt eas judicio adulterarum,
et judicio effundentium sanguinem:
quia adulteræ sunt,
et sanguis in manibus earum. 46
Hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus:
Adduc ad eas multitudinem,
et trade eas in tumultum et in rapinam. 47
Et lapidentur lapidibus populorum,
et confodiantur gladiis eorum:
filios et filias earum interficient,
et domos earum igne succendent. 48
Et auferam scelus de terra,
et discent omnes mulieres ne faciant secundum scelus earum. 49
Et dabunt scelus vestrum super vos,
et peccata idolorum vestrorum portabitis:
et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus. |
