1

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:

2

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and thou shalt say to them, On whatsoever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ σου καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· γῆ, ἐφ’ ἣν ἂν ἐπάγω ῥομφαίαν, καὶ λάβῃ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἄνθρωπον ἕνα ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ δῶσιν αὐτὸν ἑαυτοῖς εἰς σκοπόν,

сы́не человѣ́чь, глаго́ли ко сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: землѧ̀, на ню́же а҆́зъ а҆́ще наведꙋ̀ ме́чь, и҆ по́ймꙋтъ лю́дїе землѝ человѣ́ка є҆ди́наго ѿ себє̀ и҆ поста́вѧтъ є҆го̀ себѣ̀ во стра́жа,

3

and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;

καὶ ἴδῃ τὴν ρομφαίαν ἐρχομένην ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ σαλπίσῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι καὶ σημάνῃ τῷ λαῷ,

и҆ ᲂу҆́зритъ ме́чь грѧдꙋ́щь на зе́млю, и҆ вострꙋ́битъ трꙋбо́ю, и҆ проповѣ́сть лю́демъ,

4

and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear [indeed], and [yet] not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his [own] head.

καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούσας τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος καὶ μὴ φυλάξηται, καὶ ἐπέλθῃ ἡ ρομφαία καὶ καταλάβῃ αὐτόν, τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται·

и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ ᲂу҆слы́шавый гла́съ трꙋбы̀, а҆ не сохрани́тсѧ, и҆ на́йдетъ ме́чь и҆ пости́гнетъ є҆го̀, кро́вь є҆гѡ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ бꙋ́детъ:

5

Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.

ὅτι τὴν φωνὴν τῆς σάλπιγγος ἀκούσας οὐκ ἐφυλάξατο, τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ ἔσται, καὶ οὗτος ὅτι ἐφυλάξατο, τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐξείλατο.

ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́ша гла́съ трꙋбы̀ и҆ не сохрани́сѧ, кро́вь є҆гѡ̀ на не́мъ бꙋ́детъ: а҆ се́й, поне́же сохрани́сѧ, дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ и҆зба́вилъ.

6

But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that [soul] is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood [thereof] will I require at the watchman’s hand.

καὶ ὁ σκοπός, ἐὰν ἴδῃ τὴν ρομφαίαν ἐρχομένην καὶ μὴ σημάνῃ τῇ σάλπιγγι, καὶ ὁ λαὸς μὴ φυλάξηται, καὶ ἐλθοῦσα ἡ ρομφαία λάβῃ ἐξ αὐτῶν ψυχήν, αὕτη διὰ τὴν αὐτῆς ἀνομίαν ἐλήφθη, καὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ σκοποῦ ἐκζητήσω.

И҆ стра́жъ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆ви́дитъ ме́чь грѧдꙋ́щь, и҆ не вострꙋ́битъ трꙋбо́ю, (и҆ не проповѣ́сть лю́демъ,) и҆ лю́дїе не ѡ҆хранѧ́тъ себѐ, и҆ наше́дъ ме́чь во́зметъ ѿ ни́хъ дꙋ́шꙋ, та̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ беззако́нїѧ ра́ди своегѡ̀ взѧ́сѧ, а҆ кро́ве є҆ѧ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ стра́жа взыщꙋ̀.

7

And thou, son of man, I have set thee [as] a watchman to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear a word from my mouth.

καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, σκοπὸν δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἐκ στόματός μου λόγον.

И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, во стра́жа да́хъ тѧ̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шиши ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ мои́хъ сло́во, и҆ проповѣ́си и҆̀мъ ѿ менє̀.

8

When I say to the sinner, Thou shalt surely die; [if] thou speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

ἐν τῷ εἰπεῖν με τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ· θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ, καὶ μὴ λαλήσῃς τοῦ φυλάξασθαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς ὁ ἄνομος τῇ ἀνομίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται, τὸ δὲ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου ἐκζητήσω.

Є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ грѣ́шникꙋ: грѣ́шниче, сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мреши: и҆ не бꙋ́деши глаго́лати (грѣ́шникꙋ), є҆́же сохрани́тисѧ нечести́вомꙋ, (є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀) ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ (и҆ жи́вꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀), то́й беззако́нникъ во беззако́нїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, а҆ кро́ве є҆гѡ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ твоеѧ̀ взыщꙋ̀.

9

But if thou forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but thou hast delivered thine own soul.

σὺ δὲ ἐὰν προαπαγγείλῃς τῷ ἀσεβεῖ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπ’ αὐτῆς, καὶ μὴ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, οὗτος τῇ ἀσεβείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ σὺ τὴν ψυχὴν σεαυτοῦ ἐξήρησαι. -

А҆́ще же ты̀ проповѣ́си нечести́вомꙋ пꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆брати́тсѧ съ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀, то́й въ нече́стїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, а҆ ты̀ дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ.

10

And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel; Thus have ye spoken, saying, Our errors, and our iniquities weigh upon us, and we pine away in them, and how then shall we live?

Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπὸν τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Ισραήλ· οὕτως ἐλαλήσατε λέγοντες· αἱ πλάναι ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν εἰσι καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἡμεῖς τηκόμεθα· καὶ πῶς ζηζόμεθα;

И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, рцы̀ до́мꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ: си́це рѣ́сте глаго́люще: пре́лєсти на́шѧ и҆ беззакѡ́нїѧ на̑ша въ на́съ сꙋ́ть, и҆ мы̀ въ ни́хъ та́емъ, и҆ ка́кѡ на́мъ живы̑мъ бы́ти;

11

Say to them, Thus saith the Lord; [As] I live, I desire not the death of the ungodly, as that the ungodly should turn from his way and live: turn ye heartily from your way; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς· ζῶ ἐγώ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐ βούλομαι τὸν θάνατον τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς ὡς τὸ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζῆν αὐτόν. ἀποστροφῇ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ὑμῶν· καί ἱνατί ἀποθνήσκετε, οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ;

Рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь, не хощꙋ̀ сме́рти грѣ́шника, но є҆́же ѡ҆брати́тисѧ нечести́вомꙋ ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ и҆ жи́вꙋ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀: ѡ҆браще́нїемъ ѡ҆брати́тесѧ ѿ пꙋтѝ ва́шегѡ ѕла́гѡ: и҆ вскꙋ́ю ᲂу҆мира́ете, до́ме і҆и҃левъ;

12

Say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him, in the day wherein he errs: and the iniquity of the ungodly shall not harm him, in the day wherein he turns from his iniquity, but the righteous [erring] shall not be able to deliver himself.

εἰπὸν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ σου· δικαιοσύνη δικαίου οὐ μὴ ἐξελεῖται αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ πλανηθῇ, καὶ ἀνομία ἀσεβοῦς οὐ μὴ κακώσῃ αὐτὸν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἀποστρέψῃ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ· καὶ δίκαιος οὐ μὴ δύνηται σωθῆναι.

И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, рцы̀ ко сынѡ́мъ люді́й твои́хъ: пра́вда првⷣника не и҆зба́витъ є҆го̀, во́ньже де́нь прельсти́тсѧ: и҆ беззако́нїе беззако́нника не ᲂу҆бїе́тъ, во́ньже де́нь ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ беззако́нїѧ своегѡ̀: и҆ првⷣникъ не мо́жетъ спасти́сѧ въ де́нь грѣха̀ своегѡ̀.

13

When I say to the righteous, [Thou shalt live; and] he trusts in his righteousness, and shall commit iniquity, none of his righteousnesses shall be remembered; in his unrighteousness which he has wrought, in it shall he die.

ἐν τῷ εἰπεῖν με τῷ δικαίῳ· οὗτος πέποιθεν ἐπὶ τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιήσει ἀνομίαν, πᾶσαι αἱ δικαιοσύναι αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν· ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ᾗ ἐποίησεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποθανεῖται.

Є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ првⷣникꙋ: жи́знїю жи́въ бꙋ́деши: се́й же ᲂу҆пова́ѧ на пра́вдꙋ свою̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ беззако́нїе, всѧ̑ пра̑вды є҆гѡ̀ не воспомѧнꙋ́тсѧ, въ непра́вдѣ свое́й, ю҆́же сотворѝ, въ то́й ᲂу҆́мретъ.

14

And when I say to the ungodly, Thou shalt surely die; and he shall turn from his sin, and do judgment and justice,

καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰπεῖν με τῷ ἀσεβεῖ· θανάτῳ θανατωθήσῃ, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσει κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην

И҆ є҆гда̀ рекꙋ̀ нечести́вомꙋ: сме́ртїю ᲂу҆́мреши: и҆ ѡ҆брати́тсѧ ѿ грѣха̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ,

15

and return the pledge, and repay that which he has robbed, [and] walk in the ordinances of life, so as to do no wrong; he shall surely live, and shall not die.

καὶ ἐνεχύρασμα ἀποδῷ καὶ ἅρπαγμα ἀποτίσει, ἐν προστάγμασι ζωῆς διαπορεύηται τοῦ μὴ ποιῆσαι ἄδικον, ζωῇ ζήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ.

и҆ зало́гъ ѿда́стъ и҆ восхище́ное возврати́тъ, беззако́нникъ въ за́повѣдехъ жи́зни ходи́ти бꙋ́детъ, є҆́же не сотвори́ти непра́вды, жи́знїю жи́въ бꙋ́детъ и҆ не ᲂу҆́мретъ:

16

None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered: because he has wrought judgment and righteousness; by them shall he live.

πᾶσαι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι αὐτοῦ, ἃς ἥμαρτεν, οὐ μὴ ἀναμνησθῶσιν, ὅτι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐποίησεν, ἐν αὐτοῖς ζήσεται.

всѝ грѣсѝ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же согрѣшѝ, не помѧнꙋ́тсѧ: поне́же сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ сотворѝ, жи́въ бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ.

17

Yet the children of thy people will say, The way of the Lord is not straight: whereas this their way is not straight.

καὶ ἐροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου· οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ εὐθεῖα.

И҆ рекꙋ́тъ сы́нове люді́й твои́хъ: непра́въ пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень. И҆ сѐ, пꙋ́ть и҆́хъ непра́въ.

18

When the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and shall commit iniquities, then shall he die in them.

ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι δίκαιον ἀπὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσει ἀνομίας, καὶ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν αὐταῖς·

Є҆гда̀ соврати́тсѧ првⷣникъ ѿ пра́вды своеѧ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ беззако́нїе, и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ въ не́мъ.

19

And when the sinner turns from his iniquity, and shall do judgment and righteousness, he shall live by them.

καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσει κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην, ἐν αὐτοῖς αὐτὸς ζήσεται.

И҆ є҆гда̀ грѣ́шникъ возврати́тсѧ ѿ беззако́нїѧ своегѡ̀ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ, то́й жи́въ бꙋ́детъ въ ни́хъ.

20

And this is that which ye said, The way of the Lord is [not] straight. I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one for his ways.

καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὃ εἴπατε· οὐκ εὐθεῖα ἡ ὁδὸς Κυρίου· ἕκαστον ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ κρινῶ ὑμᾶς, οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ.

И҆ сѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же реко́сте: непра́въ пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень. Комꙋ́ждо по пꙋтє́мъ є҆гѡ̀ сꙋждꙋ̀ ва́мъ, до́ме і҆и҃левъ.

21

And it came to pass in the tenth year of our captivity, in the twelfth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is taken.

Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνί, πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμῶν, ἦλθε πρός με ὁ ἀνασωθεὶς ἀπὸ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ λέγων· ἑάλω ἡ πόλις.

И҆ бы́сть во второена́десѧть лѣ́то, мцⷭ҇а вторагѡна́десѧть, въ пѧ́тый де́нь мцⷭ҇а плѣне́нїѧ на́шегѡ, прїи́де ко мнѣ̀ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма ᲂу҆цѣлѣ́вый глаго́лѧ: плѣне́нъ бы́сть гра́дъ.

22

Now the hand of the Lord had come upon me in the evening, before he came; and he opened my mouth, when he came to me in the morning: and my mouth was open, it was no longer kept closed.

καὶ χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐγενήθη ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἑσπέρας πρὶν ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤνοιξέ μου τὸ στόμα, ἕως ἦλθε πρός με τὸ πρωΐ, καὶ ἀνοιχθὲν τὸ στόμα μου οὐ συνεσχέθη ἔτι.

И҆ рꙋка̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ бы́сть на мнѣ̀ въ ве́черъ, пре́жде прише́ствїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѿве́рзе ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑, до́ндеже прїи́де ко мнѣ̀ заꙋ́тра: и҆ ѿвє́рзшаѧсѧ ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ не затвори́шасѧ ктомꙋ̀.

23

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:

24

Son of man, they that inhabit the desolate [places] on the land of Israel say, Abram was one, and he possessed the land: and we are more numerous; to us the land is given for a possession.

υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς ἠρημωμένας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγουσιν· εἷς ἦν ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ κατέσχε τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἡμεῖς πλείους ἐσμέν, ἡμῖν δέδοται ἡ γῆ εἰς κατάσχεσιν.

сы́не человѣ́чь, живꙋ́щїи на ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́вшихъ мѣ́стѣхъ во землѝ і҆и҃левѣ глаго́лютъ: є҆ди́нъ бѧ́ше а҆враа́мъ и҆ ѡ҆держа́ше зе́млю, а҆ мы̀ мно́жайшїи є҆смы̀, на́мъ дана̀ є҆́сть землѧ̀ во ѡ҆держа́нїе.

25

[see Appendix]

διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν αὐτοῖς·

Тогѡ̀ ра́ди рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: си́це гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: поне́же съ кро́вїю ꙗ҆́сте и҆ ѻ҆́чи ва́ши воздвиго́сте ко кꙋмі́рѡмъ и҆ кро́вь пролива́ете, и҆ зе́млю ли наслѣ́дите;

26

[see Appendix]

ста́сте съ мече́мъ ва́шимъ, сотвори́сте ме́рзѡсти, и҆ кі́йждо женꙋ̀ бли́жнѧгѡ своегѡ̀ ѡ҆скверни́сте, и҆ та́кѡ ли зе́млю и҆́мате наслѣ́дити;

27

Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, [As] I live, surely they that are in the desolate places shall fall by swords and they that are in the open plain shall be given for food to the wild beasts of the field, and them that are in the fortified [cities] and them that are in the caves I will slay with pestilence.

τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ζῶ ἐγώ, εἰ μὴν οἱ ἐν ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ πεδίου τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ δοθήσονται εἰς κατάβρωμα, καὶ τοὺς ἐν ταῖς τετειχισμέναις καὶ τοὺς ἐν τοῖς σπηλαίοις θανάτῳ ἀποκτενῶ.

Тогѡ̀ ра́ди рцы̀ и҆̀мъ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: живꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ падꙋ́тъ мече́мъ сꙋ́щїи во ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́вшихъ, и҆ и҆̀же на лицы̀ по́лѧ, ѕвѣрє́мъ пѡ́льнымъ предадꙋ́тсѧ на и҆з̾ѧде́нїе, и҆ сꙋ́щыѧ во градѣ́хъ и҆ и҆̀же въ пеще́рахъ сме́ртїю поражꙋ̀,

28

And I will make the land desert, and the pride of her strength shall perish; and the mountains of Israel shall be made desolate by reason of no man passing through.

καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν ἔρημον, καὶ ἀπολεῖται ἡ ὕβρις τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται τὰ ὄρη τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ διὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι διαπορευόμενον.

и҆ да́мъ зе́млю на ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́нїе, и҆ поги́бнетъ го́рдость крѣ́пости є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́ютъ го́ры і҆и҃лєвы, зане́же не бꙋ́детъ проходѧ́щагѡ:

29

And they shall know that I am the Lord; and I will make their land desert, and it shall be made desolate because of all their abominations which they have wrought.

καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος· καὶ ποιήσω τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἔρημον, καὶ ἐρημωθήσεται διὰ πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν.

и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ сотворю̀ зе́млю и҆́хъ пꙋ́стꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆пꙋстѣ́етъ всѣ́хъ ра́ди ме́рзостей и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́ша.

30

And [as for] thee, son of man, the children of thy people are they that speak concerning thee by the walls, and in the porches of the houses, and they talk one to another, saying, Let us come together, and let us hear the [words] that proceed from the Lord.

καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου οἱ λαλοῦντες περὶ σοῦ παρὰ τὰ τείχη καὶ ἐν τοῖς πυλῶσι τῶν οἰκιῶν καὶ λαλοῦσιν ἄνθρωπος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· συνέλθωμεν καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα παρὰ Κυρίου,

И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, сы́нове люді́й твои́хъ глаго́лющїи ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ ᲂу҆ забра̑лъ и҆ во вратѣ́хъ дворѡ́въ, и҆ глаго́лютъ кі́йждо ко бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ кі́йждо ко бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀, глаго́люще: собери́мсѧ и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шимъ и҆сходѧ̑щаѧ ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ гдⷭ҇нихъ.

31

They approach thee as a people comes together, and sit before thee, and hear thy words, but they will not do them: for [there is] falsehood in their mouth, and their heart [goes] after their pollutions.

ἔρχονται πρός σε, ὡς συμπορεύεται λαός, καὶ κάθηνται ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἀκούουσι τὰ ρήματά σου, καὶ αὐτὰ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν, ὅτι ψεῦδος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν μιασμάτων ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν.

И҆ прихо́дѧтъ къ тебѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже схо́дѧтсѧ лю́дїе, и҆ сѣдѧ́тъ лю́дїе моѝ пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ послꙋ́шаютъ глаго́лѡвъ твои́хъ, и҆ не сотворѧ́тъ и҆́хъ: поне́же лжа̀ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ и҆́хъ, и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ скве́рнъ и҆́хъ се́рдце и҆́хъ хо́дитъ.

32

And thou art to them as a sound of a sweet, well-tuned psaltery, and they will hear thy words, but they will not do them.

καὶ γίνῃ αὐτοῖς ὡς φωνὴ ψαλτηρίου ἡδυφώνου, εὐαρμόστου, καὶ ἀκούσονταί σου τὰ ρήματα καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αὐτά.

И҆ бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ гла́съ пѣ́снивца сладкогла́снагѡ благосли́чнагѡ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ глаго́лы твоѧ̑, и҆ не сотворѧ́тъ и҆́хъ.

33

But whenever it shall come [to pass], they will say, Behold, it is come: and they shall know that there was a prophet in the midst of them.

καὶ ἡνίκα ἐὰν ἔλθῃ, ἐροῦσιν· ἰδοὺ ἥκει· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι προφήτης ἦν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

И҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́деши, рекꙋ́тъ: сѐ, прїи́де. И҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѧтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ бѣ̀ средѣ̀ и҆́хъ.
