Ezekiel 11

1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of YHWH'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.

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 He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who 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 who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'

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, son of man."

Therefore prophesy on them prophesy O son of humankind.

5 The Spirit of YHWH fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says YHWH: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

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 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets 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 YHWH: '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.

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 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says YHWH.

A sword you have feared and a sword I will bring on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

9 'I will bring you forth out of its midst, 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 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am YHWH.

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 shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; 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 you shall know that I am YHWH: 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.'"

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 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, YHWH. 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 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

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 YHWH. This land has been given to us for a 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 YHWH: "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."'

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 YHWH: "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."

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 They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.

And they will come there towards and they will remove all detestable things its and all abominations its from it.

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;

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 my 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 bring their way on their own heads,' says YHWH."

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 the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were 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 The glory of YHWH went up from the midst of the city, and stood on 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 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.

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 to them of the captivity all the things that YHWH had shown me.

And I spoke to the exile[s] all [the] words of Yahweh which he had shown me.
