Ezekiel 12
1 The word of Jehovah also came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
2 "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
| בֶּן־אָדָם בְּתוֹךְ בֵּית־הַמֶּרִי אַתָּה יֹשֵׁב אֲשֶׁר עֵינַיִם לָהֶם לִרְאוֹת וְלֹא רָאוּ אׇזְנַיִם לָהֶם לִשְׁמֹעַ וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי בֵּית מְרִי הֵֽם׃ |
3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
| וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם עֲשֵׂה לְךָ כְּלֵי גוֹלָה וּגְלֵה יוֹמָם לְעֵינֵיהֶם וְגָלִיתָ מִמְּקוֹמְךָ אֶל־מָקוֹם אַחֵר לְעֵינֵיהֶם אוּלַי יִרְאוּ כִּי בֵּית מְרִי הֵֽמָּה׃ |
4 You shall bring forth your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go forth yourself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
| וְהוֹצֵאתָ כֵלֶיךָ כִּכְלֵי גוֹלָה יוֹמָם לְעֵינֵיהֶם וְאַתָּה תֵּצֵא בָעֶרֶב לְעֵינֵיהֶם כְּמוֹצָאֵי גּוֹלָֽה׃ |
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way.
| לְעֵינֵיהֶם חֲתׇר־לְךָ בַקִּיר וְהוֹצֵאתָ בּֽוֹ׃ |
6 In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; you shall cover your face, so that you do not see the land: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel."
| לְעֵינֵיהֶם עַל־כָּתֵף תִּשָּׂא בָּעֲלָטָה תוֹצִיא פָּנֶיךָ תְכַסֶּה וְלֹא תִרְאֶה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־מוֹפֵת נְתַתִּיךָ לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
7 I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
| וָאַעַשׂ כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר צֻוֵּיתִי כֵּלַי הוֹצֵאתִי כִּכְלֵי גוֹלָה יוֹמָם וּבָעֶרֶב חָתַֽרְתִּי־לִי בַקִּיר בְּיָד בָּעֲלָטָה הוֹצֵאתִי עַל־כָּתֵף נָשָׂאתִי לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ |
8 In the morning came the word of Jehovah to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי בַּבֹּקֶר לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
9 "Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing?'
| בֶּן־אָדָם הֲלֹא אָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בֵּית הַמֶּרִי מָה אַתָּה עֹשֶֽׂה׃ |
10 Say to them, 'Thus says Jehovah: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.'
| אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הַנָּשִׂיא הַמַּשָּׂא הַזֶּה בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְכׇל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה בְתוֹכָֽם׃ |
11 Say, 'I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.'
| אֱמֹר אֲנִי מֽוֹפֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי כֵּן יֵעָשֶׂה לָהֶם בַּגּוֹלָה בַשְּׁבִי יֵלֵֽכוּ׃ |
12 "The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. He shall dig through the wall and carry it through: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
| וְהַנָּשִׂיא אֲשֶׁר־בְּתוֹכָם אֶל־כָּתֵף יִשָּׂא בָּעֲלָטָה וְיֵצֵא בַּקִּיר יַחְתְּרוּ לְהוֹצִיא בוֹ פָּנָיו יְכַסֶּה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה לַעַיִן הוּא אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
| וּפָרַשְׂתִּי אֶת־רִשְׁתִּי עָלָיו וְנִתְפַּשׂ בִּמְצוּדָתִי וְהֵבֵאתִי אֹתוֹ בָבֶלָה אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים וְאוֹתָהּ לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה וְשָׁם יָמֽוּת׃ |
14 I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
| וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר סְבִֽיבֹתָיו עֶזְרֹה וְכׇל־אֲגַפָּיו אֱזָרֶה לְכׇל־רוּחַ וְחֶרֶב אָרִיק אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃ |
15 They shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
| וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָה בַּהֲפִיצִי אוֹתָם בַּגּוֹיִם וְזֵרִיתִי אוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ |
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
| וְהוֹתַרְתִּי מֵהֶם אַנְשֵׁי מִסְפָּר מֵחֶרֶב מֵרָעָב וּמִדָּבֶר לְמַעַן יְסַפְּרוּ אֶת־כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם בַּגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָׁם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
17 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
18 "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness;
| בֶּן־אָדָם לַחְמְךָ בְּרַעַשׁ תֹּאכֵל וּמֵימֶיךָ בְּרׇגְזָה וּבִדְאָגָה תִּשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
19 and tell the people of the land, 'Thus says Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
| וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־עַם הָאָרֶץ כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לְיוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לַחְמָם בִּדְאָגָה יֹאכֵלוּ וּמֵימֵיהֶם בְּשִׁמָּמוֹן יִשְׁתּוּ לְמַעַן תֵּשַׁם אַרְצָהּ מִמְּלֹאָהּ מֵחֲמַס כׇּֽל־הַיֹּשְׁבִים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
| וְהֶעָרִים הַנּֽוֹשָׁבוֹת תֶּחֱרַבְנָה וְהָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וִידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
21 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, 'The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?'
| בֶּן־אָדָם מָֽה־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה לָכֶם עַל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר יַֽאַרְכוּ הַיָּמִים וְאָבַד כׇּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ |
23 Tell them therefore, 'Thus says Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel'; but tell them, 'The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הִשְׁבַּתִּי אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה וְלֹֽא־יִמְשְׁלוּ אֹתוֹ עוֹד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי אִם־דַּבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם קָֽרְבוּ הַיָּמִים וּדְבַר כׇּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ |
24 For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
| כִּי לֹא יִהְיֶה עוֹד כׇּל־חֲזוֹן שָׁוְא וּמִקְסַם חָלָק בְּתוֹךְ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
25 For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it,' says Jehovah."
| כִּי ׀ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֲדַבֵּר אֵת אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וְיֵעָשֶׂה לֹא תִמָּשֵׁךְ עוֹד כִּי בִימֵיכֶם בֵּית הַמֶּרִי אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וַעֲשִׂיתִיו נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
26 Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
27 "Son of man, look, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.'
| בֶּן־אָדָם הִנֵּה בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֹֽמְרִים הֶחָזוֹן אֲשֶׁר־הוּא חֹזֶה לְיָמִים רַבִּים וּלְעִתִּים רְחוֹקוֹת הוּא נִבָּֽא׃ |
28 Therefore tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says Jehovah.'"
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לֹא־תִמָּשֵׁךְ עוֹד כׇּל־דְּבָרָי אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וְיֵעָשֶׂה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
