< Ezekiel 12 >

1 The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
O son of humankind in [the] midst of [the] house of rebellion you [are] dwelling whom eyes [belong] to them to see and not they see ears [belong] to them to hear and not they hear for [are] a house of rebellion they.
3 “Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
And you O son of humankind prepare for yourself baggage of exile and go into exile by day to eyes their and you will go into exile from place your to a place another to eyes their perhaps they will see for [are] a house of rebellion they.
4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
And you will bring out baggage your like baggage of exile by day to eyes their and you you will go out in the evening to eyes their like goings out of exile.
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you do not see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
To eyes their on a shoulder you will lift [it] up in the darkness you will bring [it] out face your you will cover and not you will see the land for a sign I have made you to [the] house of Israel.
7 I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
And I did so just as I was commanded baggage my I brought out like baggage of exile by day and in the evening I dug myself in the wall by hand in the darkness I brought [it] out on a shoulder I lifted [it] up to eyes their.
8 In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the morning saying.
9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
O son of humankind ¿ not have they said to you [the] house of Israel [the] house of rebellion what? [are] you doing.
10 “Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
Say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [is] the prince the oracle this in Jerusalem and all [the] house of Israel who they [are] in midst of them.
11 “Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
Say I [am] sign your just as I have done so it will be done to them in exile in captivity they will go.
12 “‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
And the prince who [is] in midst of them to a shoulder he will lift up in the darkness so he may go out in the wall they will dig to bring out in it face his he will cover because that not he will see to the eye he the land.
13 I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
And I will spread net my over him and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and it not he will see and there he will die.
14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
And all [those] who [are] around him (help his *Q(K)*) and all troops his I will disperse to every wind and a sword I will draw after them.
15 “‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when scatter I them among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
And I will leave over some of them people of number from [the] sword from [the] famine and from [the] pestilence so that they may recount all abominations their among the nations where they have gone there and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
17 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.
19 Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
And you will say to [the] people of the land thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem concerning [the] land of Israel food their in anxiety they will eat and water their in horror they will drink so that it may be desolate land its from fullness its from [the] violence of all the inhabitants in it.
20 The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
And the cities inhabited they will be waste and the land a desolation it will become and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
21 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
O son of humankind what? [is] the proverb this to you on [the] land of Israel saying they are long the days and it perishes every vision.
23 Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I will make to cease the proverb this and not people will use as a proverb it again in Israel that except speak to them they have drawn near the days and [the] matter of every vision.
24 For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
For not it will be again any vision of worthlessness and divination of flattery in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel.
25 For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
For - I Yahweh I will speak which I will speak a word so it may be done not it will be postponed again for in days your O house of rebellion I will speak a word and I will do it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
26 Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
O son of humankind there! [the] house of Israel [are] saying the vision which he [is] seeing [is] of days many and of times distant he [is] prophesying.
28 “Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will be postponed again all words my [that] which I will speak a word so it may be done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
