Ezekiel 4

Commentary from 3 fathers

1

And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and thou shalt set it before thy face, and shalt portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.

ΚΑΙ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λαβὲ σεαυτῷ πλίνθον καὶ θήσεις αὐτὴν πρὸ προσώπου σου καὶ διαγράψεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν πόλιν τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

И҆ ты̀, сы́не человѣ́чь, возмѝ себѣ̀ плі́нѳꙋ и҆ положѝ ю҆̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆ да напи́шеши на не́й гра́дъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ,

2

And thou shalt besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.

καὶ δώσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν περιοχὴν καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν προμαχῶνας καὶ περιβαλεῖς ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν χάρακα καὶ δώσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν παρεμβολὰς καὶ τάξεις τὰς βελοστάσεις κύκλῳ.

и҆ да да́си ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆гражде́нїе, и҆ да согради́ши над̾ ни́мъ забра̑ла и҆ ѡ҆бложи́ши є҆го̀ ѻ҆стро́гомъ, и҆ да поста́виши ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ полкѝ и҆ да ᲂу҆чини́ши поставлє́нїѧ стрѣ́льницъ ѡ҆́крестъ:

3

And take thou to thyself an iron pan, and thou shalt set it [for] an iron wall between thee and the city: and thou shalt set thy face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and thou shalt besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.

καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ τήγανον σιδηροῦν καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ τοῖχον σιδηροῦν ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, καὶ ἔσται ἐν συγκλεισμῷ, καὶ συγκλείσεις αὐτήν· σημεῖόν ἐστι τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ. -

ты́ же возмѝ себѣ̀ сковра́дꙋ желѣ́знꙋ, и҆ да положи́ши ю҆̀ въ стѣ́нꙋ желѣ́знꙋ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ гра́домъ, и҆ да ᲂу҆гото́виши лицѐ твоѐ на́нь, и҆ бꙋ́детъ въ затво́рѣ, и҆ затвори́ши и҆̀: зна́менїе сїѐ є҆́сть сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ.

4

And thou shalt lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which thou shalt lie upon it: and thou shalt bear their iniquities.

Καὶ σὺ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ ἀριστερὸν καὶ θήσεις τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν, ἃς κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν.

Ты́ же да спи́ши на лѣ́вѣмъ бокꙋ̀ твое́мъ, и҆ да положи́ши непра̑вды до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева на не́мъ, по числꙋ̀ дні́й пѧтьдесѧ́тъ и҆ сто̀, въ нѧ́же поспи́ши на не́мъ, и҆ во́змеши непра̑вды и҆́хъ.

5

For I have appointed thee their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so thou shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.

καὶ ἐγὼ δέδωκά σοι τὰς δύο ἀδικίας αὐτῶν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν ἐνενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας. καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ

И҆ а҆́зъ да́хъ тебѣ̀ двѣ̀ непра̑вды и҆́хъ въ число̀ дні́й, въ де́вѧтьдесѧтъ и҆ сто̀ дні́й, и҆ во́змеши непра̑вды до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева.

6

And thou shalt accomplish this, and [then] shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year.

καὶ συντελέσεις ταῦτα πάντα· καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ δεξιὸν καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ιούδα τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας. ἡμέραν εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν τέθεικά σοι.

И҆ соверши́ши сїѧ̑, и҆ поспи́ши на десны́хъ ре́брѣхъ твои́хъ второ́е, и҆ во́змеши непра̑вды до́мꙋ і҆ꙋ́дина четы́редесѧть дні́й, де́нь за є҆ди́но лѣ́то положи́хъ тебѣ̀.

7

So thou shalt set thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shalt strengthen thine arm, and shalt prophesy against it.

καὶ εἰς τὸν συγκλεισμὸν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου στερεώσεις καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν.

И҆ на заключе́нїе і҆ерⷭли́ма да ᲂу҆гото́ваеши лицѐ твоѐ, и҆ мы́шцꙋ твою̀ ᲂу҆тверди́ши, и҆ прⷪ҇ро́чествовати бꙋ́деши на него̀.

8

And, behold, I have prepared bonds for thee, and thou mayest not turn from thy one side to the other, until the days of thy siege shall be accomplished.

καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐπὶ σὲ δεσμούς, καὶ μὴ στραφῇς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου, ἕως οὗ συντελεσθῶσιν ἡμέραι τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ σου. -

И҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ да́хъ на тѧ̀ ᲂу҆́зы, и҆ не преврати́шисѧ ѿ ре́бръ твои́хъ на ре́бра твоѧ̑, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ дні́е заключе́нїѧ твоегѡ̀.

9

Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and thou shalt cast them into one earthen vessel, and shalt make them into loaves for thyself; and thou shalt eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which thou sleepest on thy side.

Καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν καὶ κέγχρον καὶ ὄλυραν καὶ ἐμβαλεῖς αὐτὰ εἰς ἄγγος ἓν ὀστράκινον καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὰ σεαυτῷ εἰς ἄρτους, καὶ κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν, ἃς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπὶ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου, ἐνενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας φάγεσαι αὐτά.

Ты́ же (сы́не человѣ́чь) возмѝ себѣ̀ пшени́цꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆чме́нь, и҆ бо́бъ и҆ лѧ́щꙋ, и҆ про́со и҆ пы́ро, и҆ вложи́ши ѧ҆̀ въ сосꙋ́дъ є҆ди́нъ гли́нѧнъ: и҆ сотвори́ши ѧ҆̀ себѣ̀ въ хлѣ́бы, и҆ по числꙋ̀ дні́й, въ нѧ́же спи́ши на ре́брѣхъ твои́хъ, де́вѧтьдесѧтъ и҆ сто̀ дні́й ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́деши ѡ҆́ныѧ.

10

And thou shalt eat thy food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat them.

καὶ τὸ βρῶμά σου, ὃ φάγεσαι, ἐν σταθμῷ εἴκοσι σίκλους τὴν ἡμέραν· ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ φάγεσαι αὐτά.

Ꙗ҆́дь же твоѧ̀, ю҆́же ꙗ҆́сти бꙋ́деши, вѣ́сомъ два́десѧть сі̑кль на де́нь, ѿ вре́мене до вре́мене снѣ́си сїѧ̑.

11

And thou shalt drink water by measure, even from time to time thou shalt drink the sixth part of a hin.

καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ πίεσαι τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ εἴν· ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ πίεσαι.

И҆ во́дꙋ мѣ́рою пи́ти бꙋ́деши, и҆ шестꙋ́ю ча́сть і҆́на ѿ вре́мене до вре́мене и҆спїе́ши.

12

And thou shalt eat them [as] a barley cake: thou shalt bake them before their eyes in man’s dung.

καὶ ἐγκρυφίαν κρίθινον φάγεσαι αὐτά· ἐν βολβίτοις κόπρου ἀνθρωπίνης ἐγκρύψεις αὐτὰ κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν

И҆ ѡ҆прѣсно́къ ꙗ҆чме́нный снѣ́си ѧ҆̀, въ ла́йнѣ моты́лъ человѣ́чихъ сокры́еши ѧ҆̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма и҆́хъ

13

And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.

καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· οὕτως φάγονται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀκάθαρτα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.

и҆ рече́ши: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: та́кѡ снѣдѧ́тъ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы хлѣ́бъ сво́й нечи́стъ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, а҆́може разсы́плю ѧ҆̀.

14

Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

καὶ εἶπα· μηδαμῶς, Κύριε Θεὲ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἡ ψυχή μου οὺ μεμίανται ἐν ἀκαθαρσίᾳ, καὶ θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον οὐ βέβρωκα ἀπὸ γενέσεώς μου ἕως τοῦ νῦν, οὐδὲ εἰσελήλυθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου πᾶν κρέας ἕωλον.

И҆ рѣ́хъ: ника́коже, гдⷭ҇и бж҃е і҆и҃левъ! сѐ, дꙋша̀ моѧ̀ не ѡ҆скверни́ласѧ въ нечистотѣ̀, и҆ мертвечи́ны и҆ ѕвѣроѧ́дины не ꙗ҆до́хъ ѿ рожде́нїѧ моегѡ̀ да́же донн҃ѣ, нижѐ вни́де во ᲂу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ всѧ́кое мѧ́со ме́рзко и҆ скверна́во.

15

And he said to me, Behold, I have given thee dung of oxen instead of man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy loaves upon it.

καὶ εἶπε πρός με· ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σοι βόλβιτα βοῶν ἀντὶ τῶν βολβίτων τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων, καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἄρτους σου ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν.

И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сѐ, да́хъ тебѣ̀ моты̑ла говѧ̑жаѧ вмѣ́стѡ моты́лъ человѣ́чихъ, и҆ сотвори́ши хлѣ́бы себѣ̀ въ ни́хъ.

16

And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in want; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:

καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συντρίβω στήριγμα ἄρτου ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ φάγονται ἄρτον ἐν σταθμῷ καὶ ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ καὶ ἐν ἀφανισμῷ πίονται,

И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: сы́не человѣ́чь, сѐ, а҆́зъ сотрꙋ̀ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе хлѣ́бное во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ снѣдѧ́тъ хлѣ́бъ вѣ́сомъ и҆ во ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́нїи, и҆ во́дꙋ мѣ́рою и҆ въ па́гꙋбѣ и҆спїю́тъ,

17

that they may want bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.

ὅπως ἐνδεεῖς γένωνται ἄρτου καὶ ὕδατος· καὶ ἀφανισθήσεται ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τακήσονται ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ да скꙋ́дни бꙋ́дꙋтъ хлѣ́бомъ и҆ водо́ю: и҆ поги́бнетъ человѣ́къ и҆ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆ста́ютъ въ непра́вдахъ свои́хъ.
