< Ezekiel 11 >

1 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.
And it lifted up me a spirit and it brought me to [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh eastern which faces east-ward and there! [were] at [the] entrance of the gate twenty and five man and I saw in midst of them Jaazaniah [the] son of Azzur and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah [the] leaders of the people.
2 And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,
And he said to me O son of humankind these [are] the people who plan wickedness and who counsel counsel of evil in the city this.
3 Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
Who say not [is] in [the] near [future] to build houses it [is] the pot and we [are] the meat.
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.
Therefore prophesy on them prophesy O son of humankind.
5 And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.
And it fell on me [the] spirit of Yahweh and he said to me say thus he says Yahweh thus you have said O house of Israel and [the] thoughts of spirit your I I know it.
6 You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
You have multiplied slain [ones] your in the city this and you have filled streets its [the] slain.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh slain [ones] your which you have put in [the] midst of it they [are] the meat and it [is] the pot and you he will bring out from [the] midst of it.
8 You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God.
A sword you have feared and a sword I will bring on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
9 And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you.
And I will bring out you from [the] midst of it and I will give you in [the] hand of strangers and I will bring about on you judgments.
10 You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
By the sword you will fall on [the] territory of Israel I will judge you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
11 This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.
It not it will become for you a pot and you you will become in [the] midst of it meat to [the] border of Israel I will judge you.
12 And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that; are round about you.
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have done and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you you have done.
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel?
And it was when prophesied I and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah he died and I fell on face my and I cried out a voice great and I said alas! O Lord Yahweh complete destruction [are] you? making with [the] remnant of Israel.
14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
15 Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get ye far from the Lord, the land is given in possession to us.
O son of humankind brothers your brothers your [the] people of redemption your and all [the] house of Israel all of it whom they said to them [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem be distant from with Yahweh to us it it has been given the land to a possession.
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh that I have removed far away them among the nations and that I have scattered them among the lands and I have become for them a sanctuary a little in the lands where they have gone there.
17 Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will gather you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will give to you [the] land of Israel.
18 And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
And they will come there towards and they will remove all detestable things its and all abominations its from it.
19 And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:
And I will give to them a heart one and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh their and I will give to them a heart of flesh.
20 That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God.
So that in statutes my they may walk and judgments my they may keep and they will do them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God.
And to [the] heart of detestable things their and abominations their heart their [is] going conduct their on own head their I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
22 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
And they lifted up the cherubim wings their and the wheels [were] close by them and [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] above them from to above.
23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount that is on the east side of the city.
And it went up [the] glory of Yahweh from over [the] middle of the city and it stood still over the mountain which [was] from [the] east of the city.
24 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me.
And a spirit it lifted up me and it brought me Chaldea towards to the exile[s] in the vision by [the] spirit of God and it went up from on me the vision which I had seen.
25 And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me.
And I spoke to the exile[s] all [the] words of Yahweh which he had shown me.
