< Ezekiel 11 >
1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looks eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, 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 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give 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 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be 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, O son of man.
Therefore prophesy on them prophesy O son of humankind.
5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus says the LORD; Thus have all of you said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
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 All of you have multiplied your slain in this city, and all of 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 says the Lord GOD; Your slain whom all of you have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
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 All of you have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, says 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 bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among 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 All of you shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and all of 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 city shall not be your caldron, neither shall all of you be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border 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 all of you shall know that I am the LORD: for all of you have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen 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 Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! will you make a full end of 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 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
15 Son of man, your brethren, even your brethren, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
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 say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall 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 say, Thus says the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where all of you have been 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 come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof 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 I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an 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 statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will 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 walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, says 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 Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
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 upon the mountain which 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 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went 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 Then I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had showed me.
And I spoke to the exile[s] all [the] words of Yahweh which he had shown me.
