Ezekiel 22
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 And you O son of humankind ¿ will you judge ¿ will you judge [the] city of blood and you will make known to it all abominations its.
“And you, son of man, do you judge? Do you judge the city of blood? Then you have caused it to know all its abominations,
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh O city [which] sheds blood in [the] midst of it to come time its and it has made idols on itself to become unclean.
and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it has made idols on it for defilement.
4 By blood your which you have shed you have become guilty and by idols your which you have made you have become unclean and you have brought near days your and you [masc] have come to years your there-fore I have made you a reproach to the nations and derision to all the lands.
You have been guilty by your blood that you have shed, And you have been defiled by your idols that you have made, And you cause your days to draw near, And have come to your years, Therefore I have given you [for] a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
5 The [nations] nearby and the [nations] far off from you they will deride you O unclean of name O great [one] of turmoil.
The near and the far-off from you scoff at you, O defiled of name—abounding in trouble.
6 Here! [the] princes of Israel each to strength his they have been in you so as to shed blood.
Behold, princes of Israel—each according to his arm Have been in you to shed blood.
7 Father and mother they have treated with contempt in you to the sojourner they have acted with oppression in [the] midst of you fatherless one and widow they have maltreated in you.
They have made light of father and mother in you, They dealt oppressively to a sojourner in your midst, They oppressed fatherless and widow in you.
8 Holy things my you have despised and sabbaths my you have profaned.
You have despised My holy things, And you have defiled My Sabbaths.
9 People of slander they have been in you so as to shed blood and to the mountains they have eaten in you licentiousness they have done in [the] midst of you.
Men of slander have been in you to shed blood, And they have eaten on the mountains in you, They have done wickedness in your midst.
10 [the] nakedness of A father someone has uncovered in you [the] [woman] unclean of the menstruation they have humiliated in you.
One has uncovered the nakedness of a father in you, They humbled the menstruous woman in you.
11 And a man - with [the] wife of neighbor his he has done abomination and a man daughter-in-law his he has defiled in wickedness and a man sister his [the] daughter of father his he has humiliated in you.
And each has done abomination with the wife of his neighbor, And each has defiled his daughter-in-law through wickedness, And each has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter, in you.
12 A bribe they have taken in you so as to shed blood interest and interest you have taken and you have made unjust gain neighbor your by oppression and me you have forgotten [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
They have taken a bribe to shed blood in you, You have taken usury and increase, And cut off your neighbor by oppression, And you have forgotten Me, A declaration of Lord YHWH!
13 And here! I will strike palm my concerning unjust gain your which you have made and on blood your which they have been in [the] midst of you.
And behold, I have struck My hand, Because of your dishonest gain that you have gained, And for your blood that has been in your midst.
14 ¿ Will it endure heart your or? will they be strong hands your to the days when I [am] about to deal with with you I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.
Does your heart stand—are your hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken and have done [it].
15 And I will scatter you among the nations and I will disperse you among the lands and I will make an end of uncleanness your from you.
And I have scattered you among nations, And have spread you out among lands, And consumed your uncleanness out of you.
16 And you will be profaned by yourself to [the] eyes of nations and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
And you have been defiled in yourself Before the eyes of nations, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
17 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
18 O son of humankind they have become to me [the] house of Israel (dross *Q(K)*) all of them [are] copper and tin and iron and lead in [the] midst of a furnace dross silver they have become.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has been for dross to Me, All of them [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace—silver has been dross,
19 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have become all of you dross therefore here I [am] about to gather you into [the] middle of Jerusalem.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have all become dross, Therefore, behold, I am gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem,
20 [the] gathering of Silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into [the] middle of a furnace to blow on it fire to melt [it] so I will gather in anger my and in rage my and I will set down and I will melt you.
A gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin, Into the midst of a furnace—to blow fire on it, to melt it, So I gather in My anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
21 And I will gather you and I will blow on you with [the] fire of wrath my and you will be melted in [the] midst of it.
And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And you have been melted in its midst.
22 Like [the] melting of silver in [the] midst of a furnace so you will be melted in [the] midst of it and you will know that I Yahweh I have poured out rage my on you.
As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So you are melted in its midst, And you have known that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury on you.”
23 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
24 O son of humankind say to it you [are] a land [which] not [is] cleansed it not rain its in a day of indignation.
“Son of man, say to it, You [are] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
25 A conspiracy of prophets its [is] in [the] midst of it like a lion roaring tearing prey person[s] they have devoured treasure and precious thing[s] they have been taking widows its they have multiplied in [the] midst of it.
A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, As a roaring lion tearing prey; They have devoured the soul, They have taken wealth and glory, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
26 Priests its they have done violence to law my and they have profaned holy things my between a holy thing and a profane thing not they have made a distinction and between unclean [thing] and a clean [thing] not they have made known and from sabbaths my they have hidden eyes their and I have been profaned in midst of them.
Its priests have wronged My law, And they defile My holy things, They have not made separation between holy and common, And they have not made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean, And they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, And I am pierced in their midst.
27 Princes its in midst its [are] like wolves tearing prey to shed blood to destroy lives so as to make unjust gain unjust gain.
Its princes [are] as wolves in its midst, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
28 And prophets its they have plastered for them whitewash [they are] seeing falsehood and [they are] divining for them falsehood [they are] saying thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and Yahweh not he had spoken.
And its prophets have coated with chalk for them, Seeing a vain thing, and divining a lie for them, Saying, Thus said Lord YHWH, And YHWH has not spoken.
29 [the] people of The land they have oppressed oppression and they have robbed robbery and [the] poor and [the] needy they have maltreated and the sojourner they have oppressed with not justice.
The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder away violently, And have oppressed humble and needy, And oppressed the sojourner without judgment.
30 And I sought from them a person [who will] build a wall and [who will] stand in the breach before me for the land to not to destroy it and not I found [anyone].
And I seek from them a man making a wall, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land—not to destroy it, And I have found none.
31 And I have poured out on them indignation my with [the] fire of wrath my I have made an end of them conduct their on own head their I have requited [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
And I pour out My indignation on them, I have consumed them by [the] fire of My wrath, I have put their way on their own head, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
