Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
| וַתִּשָּׂא אֹתִי רוּחַ וַתָּבֵא אֹתִי אֶל־שַׁעַר בֵּית־יְהֹוָה הַקַּדְמוֹנִי הַפּוֹנֶה קָדִימָה וְהִנֵּה בְּפֶתַח הַשַּׁעַר עֶשְׂרִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אִישׁ וָאֶרְאֶה בְתוֹכָם אֶת־יַאֲזַנְיָה בֶן־עַזֻּר וְאֶת־פְּלַטְיָהוּ בֶן־בְּנָיָהוּ שָׂרֵי הָעָֽם׃ |
2 He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָי בֶּן־אָדָם אֵלֶּה הָאֲנָשִׁים הַחֹשְׁבִים אָוֶן וְהַיֹּעֲצִים עֲצַת־רָע בָּעִיר הַזֹּֽאת׃ |
3 who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'
| הָאֹמְרִים לֹא בְקָרוֹב בְּנוֹת בָּתִּים הִיא הַסִּיר וַאֲנַחְנוּ הַבָּשָֽׂר׃ |
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."
| לָכֵן הִנָּבֵא עֲלֵיהֶם הִנָּבֵא בֶּן־אָדָֽם׃ |
5 The Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says Jehovah: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
| וַתִּפֹּל עָלַי רוּחַ יְהֹוָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי אֱמֹר כֹּֽה־אָמַר יְהֹוָה כֵּן אֲמַרְתֶּם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמַעֲלוֹת רוּחֲכֶם אֲנִי יְדַעְתִּֽיהָ׃ |
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'
| הִרְבֵּיתֶם חַלְלֵיכֶם בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וּמִלֵּאתֶם חוּצֹתֶיהָ חָלָֽל׃ |
7 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.
| לָכֵן כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה חַלְלֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתֶּם בְּתוֹכָהּ הֵמָּה הַבָּשָׂר וְהִיא הַסִּיר וְאֶתְכֶם הוֹצִיא מִתּוֹכָֽהּ׃ |
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says Jehovah.
| חֶרֶב יְרֵאתֶם וְחֶרֶב אָבִיא עֲלֵיכֶם נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
9 'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
| וְהוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מִתּוֹכָהּ וְנָתַתִּי אֶתְכֶם בְּיַד־זָרִים וְעָשִׂיתִי בָכֶם שְׁפָטִֽים׃ |
10 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
| בַּחֶרֶב תִּפֹּלוּ עַל־גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶשְׁפּוֹט אֶתְכֶם וִידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
11 This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
| הִיא לֹֽא־תִהְיֶה לָכֶם לְסִיר וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ בְתוֹכָהּ לְבָשָׂר אֶל־גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶשְׁפֹּט אֶתְכֶֽם׃ |
12 and you shall know that I am Jehovah: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.'"
| וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר בְּחֻקַּי לֹא הֲלַכְתֶּם וּמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם וּֽכְמִשְׁפְּטֵי הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתֵיכֶם עֲשִׂיתֶֽם׃ |
13 It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, Jehovah. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
| וַֽיְהִי כְּהִנָּבְאִי וּפְלַטְיָהוּ בֶן־בְּנָיָה מֵת וָאֶפֹּל עַל־פָּנַי וָאֶזְעַק קוֹל־גָּדוֹל וָֽאֹמַר אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה כָּלָה אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה אֵת שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
14 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
15 "Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from Jehovah. This land has been given to us for a possession.'
| בֶּן־אָדָם אַחֶיךָ אַחֶיךָ אַנְשֵׁי גְאֻלָּתֶךָ וְכׇל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלֹּה אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ לָהֶם יֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם רַֽחֲקוּ מֵעַל יְהֹוָה לָנוּ הִיא נִתְּנָה הָאָרֶץ לְמוֹרָשָֽׁה׃ |
16 Therefore say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come."'
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה כִּי הִרְחַקְתִּים בַּגּוֹיִם וְכִי הֲפִיצוֹתִים בָּאֲרָצוֹת וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמִקְדָּשׁ מְעַט בָּאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָֽׁם׃ |
17 Therefore say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָעַמִּים וְאָסַפְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפֹצוֹתֶם בָּהֶם וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
18 They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
| וּבָאוּ־שָׁמָּה וְהֵסִירוּ אֶת־כׇּל־שִׁקּוּצֶיהָ וְאֶת־כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבוֹתֶיהָ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ |
19 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 a heart of flesh;
| וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד וְרוּחַ חֲדָשָׁה אֶתֵּן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וַהֲסִרֹתִי לֵב הָאֶבֶן מִבְּשָׂרָם וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם לֵב בָּשָֽׂר׃ |
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
| לְמַעַן בְּחֻקֹּתַי יֵלֵכוּ וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי יִשְׁמְרוּ וְעָשׂוּ אֹתָם וְהָיוּ־לִי לְעָם וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ |
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says Jehovah."
| וְאֶל־לֵב שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶם וְתוֹעֲבוֹתֵיהֶם לִבָּם הֹלֵךְ דַּרְכָּם בְּרֹאשָׁם נָתַתִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
| וַיִּשְׂאוּ הַכְּרוּבִים אֶת־כַּנְפֵיהֶם וְהָאוֹפַנִּים לְעֻמָּתָם וּכְבוֹד אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲלֵיהֶם מִלְמָֽעְלָה׃ |
23 The glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
| וַיַּעַל כְּבוֹד יְהֹוָה מֵעַל תּוֹךְ הָעִיר וַֽיַּעֲמֹד עַל־הָהָר אֲשֶׁר מִקֶּדֶם לָעִֽיר׃ |
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
| וְרוּחַ נְשָׂאַתְנִי וַתְּבִאֵנִי כַשְׂדִּימָה אֶל־הַגּוֹלָה בַּמַּרְאֶה בְּרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַל מֵֽעָלַי הַמַּרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר רָאִֽיתִי׃ |
25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shown me.
| וָאֲדַבֵּר אֶל־הַגּוֹלָה אֵת כׇּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר הֶרְאָֽנִי׃ |
