Ezekiel 17

KJV

1  And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

2  Son1121 of man,120 put forth2330 a riddle,2420 and speak4911 a parable4912 unto413 the house1004 of Israel;3478

3  And say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 A great1419 eagle5404 with great1419 wings,3671 long-winged,750 83 full4392 of feathers,5133 which834 had divers colors,7553 came935 unto413 Lebanon,3844 and took3947 853 the highest branch6788 of the cedar:730

4  He cropped off6998 853 the top7218 of his young twigs,3242 and carried935 it into413 a land776 of traffic;3667 he set7760 it in a city5892 of merchants.7402

5  He took3947 also of the seed4480 2233 of the land,776 and planted5414 it in a fruitful2233 field;7704 he placed3947 it by5921 great7227 waters,4325 and set7760 it as a willow tree.6851

6  And it grew,6779 and became1961 a spreading5628 vine1612 of low8217 stature,6967 whose branches1808 turned6437 toward413 him, and the roots8328 thereof were1961 under8478 him: so it became1961 a vine,1612 and brought forth6213 branches,905 and shot forth7971 sprigs.6288

7  There was1961 also another259 great1419 eagle5404 with great1419 wings3671 and many7227 feathers:5133 and, behold,2009 this2063 vine1612 did bend3719 her roots8328 toward him, and shot forth7971 her branches1808 toward5921 him, that he might water8248 it by the furrows4480 6170 of her plantation.4302

8  It1931 was planted8362 in413 a good2896 soil7704 by413 great7227 waters,4325 that it might bring forth6213 branches,6057 and that it might bear5375 fruit,6529 that it might be1961 a goodly155 vine.1612

9  Say559 thou, Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Shall it prosper?6743 shall he not3808 pull up5423 853 the roots8328 thereof, and cut off7082 the fruit6529 thereof, that it wither?3001 it shall wither3001 in all3605 the leaves2965 of her spring,6780 even without3808 great1419 power2220 or many7227 people5971 to pluck it up5375 853 by the roots4480 8328 thereof.

10  Yea, behold,2009 being planted,8362 shall it prosper?6743 shall it not3808 utterly wither,3001 3001 when the east6921 wind7307 toucheth5060 it? it shall wither3001 in5921 the furrows6170 where it grew.6780

11  Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559

12  Say559 now4994 to the rebellious4805 house,1004 Know3045 ye not3808 what4100 these428 things mean? tell559 them, Behold,2009 the king4428 of Babylon894 is come935 to Jerusalem,3389 and hath taken3947 853 the king4428 thereof, and the princes8269 thereof, and led935 them with413 him to Babylon;894

13  And hath taken3947 of the king's4410 seed,4480 2233 and made3772 a covenant1285 with854 him, and hath taken935 an oath423 of him: he hath also taken3947 the mighty352 of the land:776

14  That the kingdom4467 might be1961 base,8217 that it might not1115 lift itself up,5375 but that by keeping8104 853 of his covenant1285 it might stand.5975

15  But he rebelled4775 against him in sending7971 his ambassadors4397 into Egypt,4714 that they might give5414 him horses5483 and much7227 people.5971 Shall he prosper?6743 shall he escape4422 that doeth6213 such428 things? or shall he break6565 the covenant,1285 and be delivered?4422

16  As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 surely518 3808 in the place4725 where the king4428 dwelleth that made him king,4427 853 whose834 853 oath423 he despised,959 and whose834 853 covenant1285 he broke,6565 even with854 him in the midst8432 of Babylon894 he shall die.4191

17  Neither3808 shall Pharaoh6547 with his mighty1419 army2428 and great7227 company6951 make6213 for him in the war,4421 by casting up8210 mounts,5550 and building1129 forts,1785 to cut off3772 many7227 persons:5315

18  Seeing he despised959 the oath423 by breaking6565 the covenant,1285 when, lo,2009 he had given5414 his hand,3027 and hath done6213 all3605 these428 things, he shall not3808 escape.4422

19  Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 As I589 live,2416 surely518 3808 mine oath423 that834 he hath despised,959 and my covenant1285 that834 he hath broken,6565 even it will I recompense5414 upon his own head.7218

20  And I will spread6566 my net7568 upon5921 him, and he shall be taken8610 in my snare,4686 and I will bring935 him to Babylon,894 and will plead8199 with854 him there8033 for his trespass4603 that834 he hath trespassed4603 against me.

21  And all3605 his fugitives4015 with all3605 his bands102 shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 and they that remain7604 shall be scattered6566 toward all3605 winds:7307 and ye shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it.

22  Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I589 will also take3947 of the highest branch4480 6788 of the high7311 cedar,730 and will set5414 it; I will crop off6998 from the top4480 7218 of his young twigs3127 a tender one,7390 and will plant8362 it upon5921 a high1364 mountain2022 and eminent:8524

23  In the mountain2022 of the height4791 of Israel3478 will I plant8362 it: and it shall bring forth5375 boughs,6057 and bear6213 fruit,6529 and be1961 a goodly117 cedar:730 and under8478 it shall dwell7931 all3605 fowl6833 of every3605 wing;3671 in the shadow6738 of the branches1808 thereof shall they dwell.7931

24  And all3605 the trees6086 of the field7704 shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 have brought down8213 the high1364 tree,6086 have exalted1361 the low8217 tree,6086 have dried up3001 the green3892 tree,6086 and have made the dry3002 tree6086 to flourish:6524 I589 the LORD3068 have spoken1696 and have done6213 it.

1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου διήγησαι διήγημα καὶ εἰπὸν παραβολὴν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ

3 καὶ ἐρεῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ ἀετὸς ὁ μέγας ὁ μεγαλοπτέρυγος ὁ μακρὸς τῇ ἐκτάσει πλήρης ὀνύχων ὃς ἔχει τὸ ἥγημα εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν Λίβανον καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ἐπίλεκτα τῆς κέδρου

4 τὰ ἄκρα τῆς ἁπαλότητος ἀπέκνισεν καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν Χανααν εἰς πόλιν τετειχισμένην ἔθετο αὐτά

5 καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ πεδίον φυτὸν ἐφ᾽ ὕδατι πολλῷ ἐπιβλεπόμενον ἔταξεν αὐτό

6 καὶ ἀνέτειλεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄμπελον ἀσθενοῦσαν καὶ μικρὰν τῷ μεγέθει τοῦ ἐπιφαίνεσθαι αὐτήν τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν καὶ αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτῆς ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἦσαν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄμπελον καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀπώρυγας καὶ ἐξέτεινεν τὴν ἀναδενδράδα αὐτῆς

7 καὶ ἐγένετο ἀετὸς ἕτερος μέγας μεγαλοπτέρυγος πολὺς ὄνυξιν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἄμπελος αὕτη περιπεπλεγμένη πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτῆς πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτῷ τοῦ ποτίσαι αὐτὴν σὺν τῷ βώλῳ τῆς φυτείας αὐτῆς

8 εἰς πεδίον καλὸν ἐφ᾽ ὕδατι πολλῷ αὕτη πιαίνεται τοῦ ποιεῖν βλαστοὺς καὶ φέρειν καρπὸν τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἄμπελον μεγάλην

9 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ κατευθυνεῖ οὐχὶ αἱ ῥίζαι τῆς ἁπαλότητος αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ καρπὸς σαπήσεται καὶ ξηρανθήσεται πάντα τὰ προανατέλλοντα αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐν βραχίονι μεγάλῳ οὐδ᾽ ἐν λαῷ πολλῷ τοῦ ἐκσπάσαι αὐτὴν ἐκ ῥιζῶν αὐτῆς

10 καὶ ἰδοὺ πιαίνεται μὴ κατευθυνεῖ οὐχ ἅμα τῷ ἅψασθαι αὐτῆς ἄνεμον τὸν καύσωνα ξηρανθήσεται ξηρασίᾳ σὺν τῷ βώλῳ ἀνατολῆς αὐτῆς ξηρανθήσεται

11 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

12 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τὸν παραπικραίνοντα οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τί ἦν ταῦτα εἰπόν ὅταν ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ λήμψεται τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῆς καὶ ἄξει αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα

13 καὶ λήμψεται ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας καὶ διαθήσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν διαθήκην καὶ εἰσάξει αὐτὸν ἐν ἀρᾷ καὶ τοὺς ἡγουμένους τῆς γῆς λήμψεται

14 τοῦ γενέσθαι εἰς βασιλείαν ἀσθενῆ τὸ καθόλου μὴ ἐπαίρεσθαι τοῦ φυλάσσειν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱστάνειν αὐτήν

15 καὶ ἀποστήσεται ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐξαποστέλλειν ἀγγέλους ἑαυτοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτῷ ἵππους καὶ λαὸν πολύν εἰ κατευθυνεῖ εἰ διασωθήσεται ὁ ποιῶν ἐναντία καὶ παραβαίνων διαθήκην εἰ σωθήσεται

16 ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος ἐὰν μὴ ἐν ᾧ τόπῳ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ βασιλεύσας αὐτόν ὃς ἠτίμωσεν τὴν ἀράν μου καὶ ὃς παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην μου μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐν μέσῳ Βαβυλῶνος τελευτήσει

17 καὶ οὐκ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ οὐδ᾽ ἐν ὄχλῳ πολλῷ ποιήσει πρὸς αὐτὸν Φαραω πόλεμον ἐν χαρακοβολίᾳ καὶ ἐν οἰκοδομῇ βελοστάσεων τοῦ ἐξᾶραι ψυχάς

18 καὶ ἠτίμωσεν ὁρκωμοσίαν τοῦ παραβῆναι διαθήκην καὶ ἰδοὺ δέδωκεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα ταῦτα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ μὴ σωθήσεται

19 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ζῶ ἐγὼ ἐὰν μὴ τὴν διαθήκην μου ἣν παρέβη καὶ τὴν ὁρκωμοσίαν μου ἣν ἠτίμωσεν καὶ δώσω αὐτὰ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

20 καὶ ἐκπετάσω ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸ δίκτυόν μου καὶ ἁλώσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ αὐτοῦ

21 ἐν πάσῃ παρατάξει αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται καὶ τοὺς καταλοίπους εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον διασπερῶ καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα

22 διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος καὶ λήμψομαι ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἐπιλέκτων τῆς κέδρου ἐκ κορυφῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν ἀποκνιῶ καὶ καταφυτεύσω ἐγὼ ἐπ᾽ ὄρος ὑψηλόν καὶ κρεμάσω αὐτὸν

23 ἐν ὄρει μετεώρῳ τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ καταφυτεύσω καὶ ἐξοίσει βλαστὸν καὶ ποιήσει καρπὸν καὶ ἔσται εἰς κέδρον μεγάλην καὶ ἀναπαύσεται ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ πᾶν θηρίον καὶ πᾶν πετεινὸν ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ ἀναπαύσεται τὰ κλήματα αὐτοῦ ἀποκατασταθήσεται

24 καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ ταπεινῶν ξύλον ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑψῶν ξύλον ταπεινὸν καὶ ξηραίνων ξύλον χλωρὸν καὶ ἀναθάλλων ξύλον ξηρόν ἐγὼ κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ποιήσω

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

2 Fili hominis, propone ænigma, et narra parabolam ad domum Israël,

3 et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Aquila grandis magnarum alarum, longo membrorum ductu, plena plumis et varietate, venit ad Libanum, et tulit medullam cedri.

4 Summitatem frondium ejus avulsit, et transportavit eam in terram Chanaan: in urbe negotiatorum posuit illam.

5 Et tulit de semine terræ, et posuit illud in terra pro semine, ut firmaret radicem super aquas multas: in superficie posuit illud.

6 Cumque germinasset, crevit in vineam latiorem, humili statura, respicientibus ramis ejus ad eam, et radices ejus sub illa erant: facta est ergo vinea, et fructificavit in palmites, et emisit propagines.

7 Et facta est aquila altera grandis, magnis alis, multisque plumis: et ecce vinea ista quasi mittens radices suas ad eam, palmites suos extendit ad illam, ut irrigaret eam de areolis germinis sui.

8 In terra bona super aquas multas plantata est, ut faciat frondes, et portet fructum, ut sit in vineam grandem.

9 Dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ergone prosperabitur? nonne radices ejus evellet, et fructus ejus distringet, et siccabit omnes palmites germinis ejus, et arescet, et non in brachio grandi, neque in populo multo, ut evelleret eam radicitus?

10 Ecce plantata est: ergone prosperabitur? nonne, cum tetigerit eam ventus urens, siccabitur, et in areis germinis sui arescet?

11 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

12 Dic ad domum exasperantem: Nescitis quid ista significent? Dic: Ecce venit rex Babylonis in Jerusalem, et assumet regem et principes ejus, et adducet eos ad semetipsum in Babylonem.

13 Et tollet de semine regni, ferietque cum eo fœdus, et ab eo accipiet jusjurandum. Sed et fortes terræ tollet,

14 ut sit regnum humile, et non elevetur, sed custodiat pactum ejus, et servet illud.

15 Qui recedens ab eo misit nuntios ad Ægyptum, ut daret sibi equos et populum multum: numquid prosperabitur, vel consequetur salutem, qui fecit hæc? et qui dissolvit pactum, numquid effugiet?

16 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam in loco regis qui constituit eum regem, cujus fecit irritum juramentum, et solvit pactum quod habebat cum eo, in medio Babylonis morietur.

17 Et non in exercitu grandi, neque in populo multo, faciet contra eum Pharao prælium: in jactu aggeris, et in exstructione vallorum, ut interficiat animas multas.

18 Spreverat enim juramentum, ut solveret fœdus, et ecce dedit manum suam: et cum omnia hæc fecerit, non effugiet.

19 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Vivo ego, quoniam juramentum quod sprevit, et fœdus quod prævaricatus est, ponam in caput ejus.

20 Et expandam super eum rete meum, et comprehendetur in sagena mea: et adducam eum in Babylonem, et judicabo eum ibi in prævaricatione qua despexit me.

21 Et omnes profugi ejus, cum universo agmine suo, gladio cadent: residui autem in omnem ventum dispergentur: et scietis quia ego Dominus locutus sum.

22 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et sumam ego de medulla cedri sublimis, et ponam: de vertice ramorum ejus tenerum distringam, et plantabo super montem excelsum et eminentem.

23 In monte sublimi Israël plantabo illud, et erumpet in germen, et faciet fructum, et erit in cedrum magnam: et habitabunt sub ea omnes volucres, et universum volatile sub umbra frondium ejus nidificabit:

24 et scient omnia ligna regionis quia ego Dominus humiliavi lignum sublime, et exaltavi lignum humile; et siccavi lignum viride, et frondere feci lignum aridum. Ego Dominus locutus sum, et feci.
