< Ezekiel 33 >
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
2 “Son of man, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
son: child man to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people people your and to say to(wards) them land: country/planet for to come (in): bring upon her sword and to take: take people [the] land: country/planet man one from end their and to give: make [obj] him to/for them to/for to watch
3 When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
and to see: see [obj] [the] sword to come (in): come upon [the] land: country/planet and to blow in/on/with trumpet and to warn [obj] [the] people
4 So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
and to hear: hear [the] to hear: hear [obj] voice: sound [the] trumpet and not to warn and to come (in): come sword and to take: take him blood his in/on/with head his to be
5 Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your life.
[obj] voice: sound [the] trumpet to hear: hear and not to warn blood his in/on/with him to be and he/she/it to warn soul: life his to escape
6 But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
and [the] to watch for to see: see [obj] [the] sword to come (in): come and not to blow in/on/with trumpet and [the] people not to warn and to come (in): come sword and to take: take from them soul: person he/she/it in/on/with iniquity: crime his to take: take and blood his from hand [the] to watch to seek
7 Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for me.
and you(m. s.) son: child man to watch to give: make you to/for house: household Israel and to hear: hear from lip my word and to warn [obj] them from me
8 If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
in/on/with to say I to/for wicked wicked to die to die and not to speak: speak to/for to warn wicked from way: conduct his he/she/it wicked in/on/with iniquity: crime his to die and blood his from hand your to seek
9 But if you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
and you(m. s.) for to warn wicked from way: conduct his to/for to return: repent from her and not to return: repent from way: conduct his he/she/it in/on/with iniquity: crime his to die and you(m. s.) soul your to rescue
10 Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
and you(m. s.) son: child man to say to(wards) house: household Israel so to say to/for to say for transgression our and sin our upon us and in/on/with them we to rot and how? to live
11 Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people of Israel?
to say to(wards) them alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely no to delight in in/on/with death [the] wicked that if: except if: except in/on/with to return: repent wicked from way: conduct his and to live to return: repent to return: repent from way: conduct your [the] bad: evil and to/for what? to die house: household Israel
12 So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
and you(m. s.) son: child man to say to(wards) son: descendant/people people your righteousness [the] righteous not to rescue him in/on/with day transgression his and wickedness [the] wicked not to stumble in/on/with her in/on/with day to return: repent he from wickedness his and righteous not be able to/for to live in/on/with her in/on/with day to sin he
13 If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
in/on/with to say I to/for righteous to live to live and he/she/it to trust upon righteousness his and to make: do injustice all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) not to remember and in/on/with injustice his which to make: do in/on/with him to die
14 But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
and in/on/with to say I to/for wicked to die to die and to return: repent from sin his and to make: do justice and righteousness
15 if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
pledge to return: rescue wicked violence to complete in/on/with statute [the] life to go: walk to/for lest to make: do injustice to live to live not to die
16 None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
all (sin his *Q(K)*) which to sin not to remember to/for him justice and righteousness to make: do to live to live
17 However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
and to say son: descendant/people people your not to measure way: journey Lord and they(masc.) way: journey their not to measure
18 If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make: do injustice and to die in/on/with them
19 On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
and in/on/with to return: repent wicked from wickedness his and to make: do justice and righteousness upon them he/she/it to live
20 So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people of Israel.”
and to say not to measure way: conduct Lord man: anyone like/as way: conduct his to judge [obj] you house: household Israel

and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
24 “Son of man, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’

27 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
thus to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God alive I if: surely yes not which in/on/with desolation in/on/with sword to fall: kill and which upon face: surface [the] land: country to/for living thing to give: give him to/for to eat him and which in/on/with stronghold and in/on/with cave in/on/with pestilence to die
28 I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
and to give: make [obj] [the] land: country/planet devastation and devastation and to cease pride strength her and be desolate: destroyed mountain: mount Israel from nothing to pass
29 Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
and to know for I LORD in/on/with to give: make I [obj] [the] land: country/planet devastation and devastation upon all abomination their which to make
30 Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message from the Lord!’
and you(m. s.) son: child man son: descendant/people people your [the] to speak: speak in/on/with you beside [the] wall and in/on/with entrance [the] house: home and to speak: speak one with one man: anyone with brother: compatriot his to/for to say to come (in): come please and to hear: hear what?

31 So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
