< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations
O son of humankind make known to Jerusalem abominations its.
3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem origins your and birth your [were] from [the] land of the Canaanite[s] father your [was] Amorite and mother your [was] a Hittite.
4 On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.
And birth your on [the] day were born you not it was cut off umbilical cord your and with water not you were washed for cleansing and certainly not you were rubbed with salt and certainly not you were wrapped.
5 No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.
Not it looked with compassion on you an eye to do for you one of these [things] for compassion on you and you were thrown out to [the] surface of the field in [the] loathing of life your on [the] day were born you.
6 Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’
And I passed by at you and I saw you kicking about in blood your and I said to you in blood your live and I said to you in blood your live.
7 I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
Ten thousand like [the] growth of the field I made you and you grew and you grew up and you came into adornment ornaments breasts they were firm and hair your it had grown and you [were] nakedness and bareness.
8 Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
And I passed by at you and I saw you and there! time your [was] a time of love and I spread out [the] skirt of garment my over you and I covered nakedness your and I swore an oath to you and I came in a covenant with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and you belonged to me.
9 Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
And I washed you with water and I washed off blood your from on you and I anointed you with oil.
10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
And I clothed you multicolored cloth and I shod you leather and I wrapped head your with fine linen and I covered you silk.
11 I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
And I ornamented you ornament[s] and I put! bracelets on hands your and a chain on neck your.
12 I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
And I put a ring on nose your and earrings on ears your and a crown of beauty on head your.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.
And you ornamented yourself gold and silver and clothing your ([was] fine linen *Q(K)*) and silk and multicolored cloth fine flour and honey and oil (you ate *Q(k)*) and you were beautiful with muchness muchness and you prospered into kingship.
14 Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
And it went out of you name among the nations on beauty your for - [was] perfect it on splendor my which I had put on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
15 But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.
And you trusted in beauty your and you acted as a prostitute on name your and you poured out prostitution your on every [one who] passed by to him let it belong.
16 You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
And you took some of clothes your and you made for yourself high places multicolored and you acted as a prostitute on them not coming and not it will be.
17 You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.
And you took [the] articles of beauty your some of gold my and some of silver my which I had given to you and you made for yourself images of a male and you acted as a prostitute with them.
18 You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
And you took [the] clothes of multicolored cloth your and you covered them and oil my and incense my (you put *Q(k)*) before them.
19 And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
And food my which I had given to you fine flour and oil and honey [which] I had given to eat you and you put it before them to an odor of soothing and it was [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
20 You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
And you took sons your and daughters your whom you had borne to me and you sacrificed them to them to devour ¿ little (from prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
21 You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.
And you slaughtered children my and you gave them when made pass through them to them.
22 And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.
And with all abominations your and prostitution your not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your when were you nakedness and bareness kicking about in blood your you were.
23 Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
And it was after all wickedness your woe! woe! to you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
24 you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
And you built for yourself a mound and you made for yourself a high place in every open place.
25 At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
To every head of a road you built high place your and you made abominable beauty your and you opened wide feet your for every [one who] passed by and you increased (prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
26 You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.
And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Egypt neighbors your becoming great of flesh and you increased prostitution your to provoke to anger me.
27 Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.
And there! I stretched out hand my on you and I diminished allotment your and I gave you in [the] will of [those who] hate you [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who were ashamed from conduct your licentiousness.
28 Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.
And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Assyria from not satiety your and you acted as a prostitute with them and also not you were satisfied.
29 So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!
And you increased prostitution your to a land of merchant[s] Chaldea towards and also by this not you were satisfied.
30 How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!
How! hot [is] anger your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when do you all these [things] [the] deed[s] of a woman a prostitute imperious.
31 But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
When built you mound your at [the] head of every road and high place your (you made *Q(k)*) in every open place and not (you were *Q(k)*) like prostitute to scorn [the] hire of a prostitute.
32 You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
O wife adulterous [who] in place of husband her she takes strangers.
33 Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
To all prostitutes men give a gift and you you have given gift your to all lovers your and you have bribed them to come to you from round about by prostitution your.
34 So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
And it was in you contrariness from the women in prostitution your and after you not it was approached for prostitution and because gave you [the] hire of a prostitute and [the] hire of a prostitute not it was given to you and you became contrariness.
35 Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!
Therefore O prostitute hear [the] word of Yahweh.
36 This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because was poured out lust your and it was uncovered nakedness your in prostitution your with lovers your and on all [the] idols of abominations your and according to [the] blood of children your which you gave to them.
37 therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.
Therefore here I [am] about to gather all lovers your whom you were pleasing to them and all [those] whom you loved to all [those] whom you hated and I will gather them on you from round about and I will uncover nakedness your to them and they will see all nakedness your.
38 And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.
And I will judge you judgments of adulteresses and [women who] shed blood and I will put on you blood of rage and jealousy.
39 Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
And I will give you in hand their and they will tear down mound your and they will be broken down high places your and they will strip off you clothes your and they will take [the] articles of beauty your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness.
40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
And they will bring up on you a company and they will stone you with stone[s] and they will cut to pieces you with swords their.
41 Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
And they will burn houses your with fire and they will bring about on you judgments to [the] eyes of women many and I will cause to cease you from a prostitute and also [the] hire of a prostitute not you will give again.
42 So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
And I will give rest to rage my on you and it will turn aside jealousy my from you and I will be at peace and not I will be angry again.
43 Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
Because that not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your and you were enraged to me in all these [things] and also I there! conduct your - on [the] head I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and not (did you do? *Q(k)*) the licentiousness to all abominations your.
44 Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
There! every [one who] speaks a proverb on you he will speak a proverb saying [is] like mother her daughter her.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
[are] [the] daughter of Mother your you [who] loathed husband her and children her and [are] [the] sister of sister your you who they loathed husbands their and children their mother your [was] a Hittite and father your [was] an Amorite.
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
And sister your old [was] Samaria she and daughters her who dwelt on north your and sister your young more than you who dwelt from south your [was] Sodom and daughters her.
47 And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.
And not in ways their did you walk? and in abominations their (did you do? *Q(k)*) like a little only and you behaved corruptly more than them in all ways your.
48 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.
[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if she did Sodom sister your she and daughters her just as you have done you and daughters your.
49 Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.
Here! this it was [the] iniquity of Sodom sister your pride surfeit of food and ease of quietness it belonged to her and to daughters her and [the] hand of [the] poor and [the] needy not she strengthened.
50 Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
And they were haughty and they did abomination before me and I removed them just when I saw.
51 Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
And Samaria according to [the] half of sins your not it sinned and you have increased abominations your more than them and you have made appear righteous (sisters your *Q(K)*) by all abominations your which (you have done. *Q(k)*)
52 So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
Also you - bear disgrace your that you have mediated for sister your by sins your which you have acted abominably more than them they are righteous more than you and also you be ashamed and bear disgrace your because have made appear righteous you sisters your.
53 But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.
And I will turn back captivity their ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Sodom and daughters her and ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Samaria and daughters her (and [the] captivity of *Q(k)*) captivities your in midst of them.
54 So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.
So that you may bear disgrace your and you will be ashamed from all that you have done when comfort you them.
55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.
And sisters your Sodom and daughters her they will return to former state their and Samaria and daughters her they will return to former state their and you and daughters your you will return to former state your.
56 Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,
And not did she become? Sodom sister your a mention in mouth your in [the] day of pride your.
57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.
Before it was uncovered wickedness your like [the] time of [the] reproach of [the] daughters of Aram and all around it [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who despise you from round about.
58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.
Licentiousness your and abominations your you you will bear them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
59 For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
That thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh (and I will deal with *Q(K)*) with you just as you have done [you] who you despised an oath by breaking a covenant.
60 But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
And I will remember I covenant my with you in [the] days of youth your and I will establish for you a covenant of perpetuity.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
And you will remember ways your and you will be ashamed when receive you sisters your old more than you to young more than you and I will give them to you to daughters and not from covenant your.
62 So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
And I will establish I covenant my with you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
63 so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
So that you may remember and you will be ashamed and not it will belong to you again an opening of a mouth because of disgrace your when make atonement I for you for all that you have done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
