< Ezekiel 3 >
1 And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
And he said to me O son of humankind [that] which you find eat eat the scroll this and go speak to [the] house of Israel.
2 And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
And I opened mouth my and he caused to eat me the scroll this.
3 And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
And he said to me O son of humankind belly your may you cause to eat and inward parts your may you fill the scroll this which I [am] giving to you and I ate [it]! and it was in mouth my like honey to sweet.
4 And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
And he said to me O son of humankind go go to [the] house of Israel and you will speak with words my to them.
5 For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
For not to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue you [are] being sent to [the] house of Israel.
6 and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
Not - to peoples many deep of lip and heavy of tongue whom not you will understand words their if not to them I had sent you they they will listen to you.
7 Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
And [the] house of Israel not they will be willing to listen to you for not they [are] willing to listen to me for all [the] house of Israel [are] hard of forehead and stern of heart they.
8 Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
Here! I make face your hard corresponding to faces their and forehead your hard corresponding to forehead their.
9 I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
Like diamond hard more than flint I make forehead your not you must fear them and not you must be dismayed from faces their for [are] a house of rebellion they.
10 And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
And he said to me O son of humankind all words my which I will speak to you take in heart your and with ears your hear.
11 And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
And go go to the exile[s] to [the] children of people your and you will speak to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh whether they will listen and or they will refrain.
12 And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
And it lifted up me a spirit and I heard behind me a sound of rumbling great [be] blessed [the] glory of Yahweh from place its.
13 and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
And [the] sound of - [the] wings of the living creatures touching closely each sister its and [the] sound of the wheels close by them and a sound of rumbling great.
14 Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
And a spirit it lifted up me and it took me and I went bitter in [the] rage of spirit my and [the] hand of Yahweh on me it was strong.
15 And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
And I came to the exile[s] Tel Abib who were dwelling to [the] river of Kebar (and I sat *Q(K)*) they [were] dwelling there and I sat there seven days appalled in midst of them.
16 Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
And it was from [the] end of seven days. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
O son of humankind a watchman I appoint you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.
18 If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
When say I to wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have warned him and not you have spoken to warn a wicked [person] from way his wicked to preserve alive him that wicked [person] for iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.
19 But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
And you if you have warned a wicked [person] and not he has turned away from wickedness his and from way his wicked he for iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.
20 Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
And when turns away a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do injustice and I will put an obstacle before him he he will die if not you warned him for sin his he will die and not they will be remembered (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did and blood his from hand your I will require.
21 But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
And you if you have warned him a righteous [person] to not to sin a righteous [person] and he not he has sinned certainly he will live for he has been warned and you life your you have delivered.
22 And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
And it was on me there [the] hand of Yahweh and he said to me arise go out to the plain and there I will speak with you.
23 And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
And I arose and I went out to the plain and there! there [the] glory of Yahweh [was] standing like the glory which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar and I fell on face my.
24 And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
And it came in me a spirit and it made stand up me on feet my and he spoke with me and he said to me go shut yourself up in [the] midst of house your.
25 And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
And you O son of humankind there! people will put on you ropes and they will bind you with them and not you will go out in midst of them.
26 And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
And tongue your I will make stick to palate your and you will be dumb and not you will become to them a person [who] reproves for [are] a house of rebellion they.
27 But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
And when speak I with you I will open mouth your and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the [one who] hears - let him hear and the [person] who refrains - let him refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they.
