Ezekiel 12

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

The word of Jehovah also came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind in [the] midst of [the] house of rebellion you [are] dwelling whom eyes [belong] to them to see and not they see ears [belong] to them to hear and not they hear for [are] a house of rebellion they.

Son of man, thou dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.

3 And you O son of humankind prepare for yourself baggage of exile and go into exile by day to eyes their and you will go into exile from place your to a place another to eyes their perhaps they will see for [are] a house of rebellion they.

Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for moving, and move by day in their sight. And thou shall move from thy place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

4 And you will bring out baggage your like baggage of exile by day to eyes their and you you will go out in the evening to eyes their like goings out of exile.

And thou shall bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for moving. And thou shall go forth thyself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

5 To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out by that.

6 To eyes their on a shoulder you will lift [it] up in the darkness you will bring [it] out face your you will cover and not you will see the land for a sign I have made you to [the] house of Israel.

Thou shall bear it upon thy shoulder in their sight, and carry it forth in the dark. Thou shall cover thy face, that thou not see the land. For I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.

7 And I did so just as I was commanded baggage my I brought out like baggage of exile by day and in the evening I dug myself in the wall by hand in the darkness I brought [it] out on a shoulder I lifted [it] up to eyes their.

And I did so as I was commanded. I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it forth in the dark, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.

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

And in the morning the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

9 O son of humankind ¿ not have they said to you [the] house of Israel [the] house of rebellion what? [are] you doing.

Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What are thou doing?

10 Say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [is] the prince the oracle this in Jerusalem and all [the] house of Israel who they [are] in midst of them.

Say thou to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the ruler in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.

11 Say I [am] sign your just as I have done so it will be done to them in exile in captivity they will go.

Say, I am your sign. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.

12 And the prince who [is] in midst of them to a shoulder he will lift up in the darkness so he may go out in the wall they will dig to bring out in it face his he will cover because that not he will see to the eye he the land.

And the ruler who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth. They shall dig through the wall to carry out by it. He shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.

13 And I will spread net my over him and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and it not he will see and there he will die.

I will also spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

14 And all [those] who [are] around him (help his *Q(K)*) and all troops his I will disperse to every wind and a sword I will draw after them.

And I will scatter toward every wind all who are round about him to help him, and all his groups. And I will draw out the sword after them.

15 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when scatter I them among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.

16 And I will leave over some of them people of number from [the] sword from [the] famine and from [the] pestilence so that they may recount all abominations their among the nations where they have gone there and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

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.

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

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

18 O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness.

19 And you will say to [the] people of the land thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem concerning [the] land of Israel food their in anxiety they will eat and water their in horror they will drink so that it may be desolate land its from fullness its from [the] violence of all the inhabitants in it.

And say to the people of the land, Thus says the lord 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 of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.

20 And the cities inhabited they will be waste and the land a desolation it will become and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

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

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

22 O son of humankind what? [is] the proverb this to you on [the] land of Israel saying they are long the days and it perishes every vision.

Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

23 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I will make to cease the proverb this and not people will use as a proverb it again in Israel that except speak to them they have drawn near the days and [the] matter of every vision.

Tell them therefore, Thus says the lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel, but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

24 For not it will be again any vision of worthlessness and divination of flattery in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel.

For there shall no more be any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 For - I Yahweh I will speak which I will speak a word so it may be done not it will be postponed again for in days your O house of rebellion I will speak a word and I will do it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

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, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says the lord Jehovah.

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

Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

27 O son of humankind there! [the] house of Israel [are] saying the vision which he [is] seeing [is] of days many and of times distant he [is] prophesying.

Son of man, behold, those 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.

28 Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will be postponed again all words my [that] which I will speak a word so it may be done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, says the lord Jehovah.
