< Ezekiel 16 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 O son of humankind make known to Jerusalem abominations its.
Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem origins your and birth your [were] from [the] land of the Canaanite[s] father your [was] Amorite and mother your [was] a Hittite.
And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.
4 And birth your on [the] day were born you not it was cut off umbilical cord your and with water not you were washed for cleansing and certainly not you were rubbed with salt and certainly not you were wrapped.
And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel wits not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.
5 Not it looked with compassion on you an eye to do for you one of these [things] for compassion on you and you were thrown out to [the] surface of the field in [the] loathing of life your on [the] day were born you.
No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.
6 And I passed by at you and I saw you kicking about in blood your and I said to you in blood your live and I said to you in blood your live.
And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.
7 Ten thousand like [the] growth of the field I made you and you grew and you grew up and you came into adornment ornaments breasts they were firm and hair your it had grown and you [were] nakedness and bareness.
I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.
8 And I passed by at you and I saw you and there! time your [was] a time of love and I spread out [the] skirt of garment my over you and I covered nakedness your and I swore an oath to you and I came in a covenant with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and you belonged to me.
And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.
9 And I washed you with water and I washed off blood your from on you and I anointed you with oil.
And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.
10 And I clothed you multicolored cloth and I shod you leather and I wrapped head your with fine linen and I covered you silk.
And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shed thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.
11 And I ornamented you ornament[s] and I put! bracelets on hands your and a chain on neck your.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.
12 And I put a ring on nose your and earrings on ears your and a crown of beauty on head your.
And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 And you ornamented yourself gold and silver and clothing your ([was] fine linen *Q(K)*) and silk and multicolored cloth fine flour and honey and oil (you ate *Q(k)*) and you were beautiful with muchness muchness and you prospered into kingship.
And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine hour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.
14 And it went out of you name among the nations on beauty your for - [was] perfect it on splendor my which I had put on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 And you trusted in beauty your and you acted as a prostitute on name your and you poured out prostitution your on every [one who] passed by to him let it belong.
But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.
16 And you took some of clothes your and you made for yourself high places multicolored and you acted as a prostitute on them not coming and not it will be.
And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.
17 And you took [the] articles of beauty your some of gold my and some of silver my which I had given to you and you made for yourself images of a male and you acted as a prostitute with them.
And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.
18 And you took [the] clothes of multicolored cloth your and you covered them and oil my and incense my (you put *Q(k)*) before them.
And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.
19 And food my which I had given to you fine flour and oil and honey [which] I had given to eat you and you put it before them to an odor of soothing and it was [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.
20 And you took sons your and daughters your whom you had borne to me and you sacrificed them to them to devour ¿ little (from prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and best sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?
21 And you slaughtered children my and you gave them when made pass through them to them.
Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.
22 And with all abominations your and prostitution your not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your when were you nakedness and bareness kicking about in blood your you were.
And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.
23 And it was after all wickedness your woe! woe! to you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)
24 And you built for yourself a mound and you made for yourself a high place in every open place.
That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.
25 To every head of a road you built high place your and you made abominable beauty your and you opened wide feet your for every [one who] passed by and you increased (prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.
26 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Egypt neighbors your becoming great of flesh and you increased prostitution your to provoke to anger me.
And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.
27 And there! I stretched out hand my on you and I diminished allotment your and I gave you in [the] will of [those who] hate you [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who were ashamed from conduct your licentiousness.
Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.
28 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Assyria from not satiety your and you acted as a prostitute with them and also not you were satisfied.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.
29 And you increased prostitution your to a land of merchant[s] Chaldea towards and also by this not you were satisfied.
Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast then satisfied.
30 How! hot [is] anger your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when do you all these [things] [the] deed[s] of a woman a prostitute imperious.
Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute?
31 When built you mound your at [the] head of every road and high place your (you made *Q(k)*) in every open place and not (you were *Q(k)*) like prostitute to scorn [the] hire of a prostitute.
Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,
32 O wife adulterous [who] in place of husband her she takes strangers.
But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.
33 To all prostitutes men give a gift and you you have given gift your to all lovers your and you have bribed them to come to you from round about by prostitution your.
Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee.
34 And it was in you contrariness from the women in prostitution your and after you not it was approached for prostitution and because gave you [the] hire of a prostitute and [the] hire of a prostitute not it was given to you and you became contrariness.
And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee.
35 Therefore O prostitute hear [the] word of Yahweh.
Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.
36 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because was poured out lust your and it was uncovered nakedness your in prostitution your with lovers your and on all [the] idols of abominations your and according to [the] blood of children your which you gave to them.
Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them:
37 Therefore here I [am] about to gather all lovers your whom you were pleasing to them and all [those] whom you loved to all [those] whom you hated and I will gather them on you from round about and I will uncover nakedness your to them and they will see all nakedness your.
Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness.
38 And I will judge you judgments of adulteresses and [women who] shed blood and I will put on you blood of rage and jealousy.
And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
39 And I will give you in hand their and they will tear down mound your and they will be broken down high places your and they will strip off you clothes your and they will take [the] articles of beauty your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness.
And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.
40 And they will bring up on you a company and they will stone you with stone[s] and they will cut to pieces you with swords their.
And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.
41 And they will burn houses your with fire and they will bring about on you judgments to [the] eyes of women many and I will cause to cease you from a prostitute and also [the] hire of a prostitute not you will give again.
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.
42 And I will give rest to rage my on you and it will turn aside jealousy my from you and I will be at peace and not I will be angry again.
And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.
43 Because that not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your and you were enraged to me in all these [things] and also I there! conduct your - on [the] head I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and not (did you do? *Q(k)*) the licentiousness to all abominations your.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.
44 There! every [one who] speaks a proverb on you he will speak a proverb saying [is] like mother her daughter her.
Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.
45 [are] [the] daughter of Mother your you [who] loathed husband her and children her and [are] [the] sister of sister your you who they loathed husbands their and children their mother your [was] a Hittite and father your [was] an Amorite.
Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.
46 And sister your old [was] Samaria she and daughters her who dwelt on north your and sister your young more than you who dwelt from south your [was] Sodom and daughters her.
And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.
47 And not in ways their did you walk? and in abominations their (did you do? *Q(k)*) like a little only and you behaved corruptly more than them in all ways your.
But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.
48 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if she did Sodom sister your she and daughters her just as you have done you and daughters your.
As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.
49 Here! this it was [the] iniquity of Sodom sister your pride surfeit of food and ease of quietness it belonged to her and to daughters her and [the] hand of [the] poor and [the] needy not she strengthened.
Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.
50 And they were haughty and they did abomination before me and I removed them just when I saw.
And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.
51 And Samaria according to [the] half of sins your not it sinned and you have increased abominations your more than them and you have made appear righteous (sisters your *Q(K)*) by all abominations your which (you have done. *Q(k)*)
And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.
52 Also you - bear disgrace your that you have mediated for sister your by sins your which you have acted abominably more than them they are righteous more than you and also you be ashamed and bear disgrace your because have made appear righteous you sisters your.
Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.
53 And I will turn back captivity their ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Sodom and daughters her and ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Samaria and daughters her (and [the] captivity of *Q(k)*) captivities your in midst of them.
And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.
54 So that you may bear disgrace your and you will be ashamed from all that you have done when comfort you them.
That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.
55 And sisters your Sodom and daughters her they will return to former state their and Samaria and daughters her they will return to former state their and you and daughters your you will return to former state your.
And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.
56 And not did she become? Sodom sister your a mention in mouth your in [the] day of pride your.
And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,
57 Before it was uncovered wickedness your like [the] time of [the] reproach of [the] daughters of Aram and all around it [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who despise you from round about.
Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.
58 Licentiousness your and abominations your you you will bear them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.
59 That thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh (and I will deal with *Q(K)*) with you just as you have done [you] who you despised an oath by breaking a covenant.
For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:
60 And I will remember I covenant my with you in [the] days of youth your and I will establish for you a covenant of perpetuity.
And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.
61 And you will remember ways your and you will be ashamed when receive you sisters your old more than you to young more than you and I will give them to you to daughters and not from covenant your.
And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 And I will establish I covenant my with you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,
63 So that you may remember and you will be ashamed and not it will belong to you again an opening of a mouth because of disgrace your when make atonement I for you for all that you have done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
