< Ezekiel 12 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.
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 And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.
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 By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.
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 Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.
To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.
6 And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children 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 And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.
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 And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the morning saying.
9 Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, 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 You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.
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 away as prisoners.
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 And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.
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 And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.
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 And all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a 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 And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send them in flight among the nations, driving them out 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 a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain 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 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
18 Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;
O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.
19 And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.
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 And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
22 Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?
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 For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect 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 false visions or smooth use of secret arts in 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 say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.
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 word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
27 Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.
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 Say to them then, This is what the Lord has said: Not one of my words will be put off any longer, but what I say I will do, says the Lord.
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.
