< Ezekiel 3 >
1 And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children 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 caused me to eat that book:
And I opened mouth my and he caused to eat me the scroll this.
3 And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
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 thou shalt 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 thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, 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 Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.
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 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate 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 thy face stronger than their faces: and thy 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 thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: 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, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:
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 get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.
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 be 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 noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise 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 The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in 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 came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
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 And at the end of seven days 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 thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it 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 wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy 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 thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy 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 shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy 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 thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy 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 upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee.
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 went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: 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 said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy 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 thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them.
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 make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because 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 shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: 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.
