< Ezekiel 24 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the year ninth in the month tenth on the ten of the month saying.
And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
2 O son of humankind (write *Q(k)*) yourself [the] name of the day [the] substance of the day this he has leaned [the] king of Babylon to Jerusalem on [the] substance of the day this.
Son of man, write thee down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.
3 And speak a parable to [the] house of rebellion a parable and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh put on the pot put on and also pour in it water.
And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;
4 Gather pieces of meat its into it every piece of meat good thigh and shoulder [the] choicest of [the] bones fill [it].
Gather the proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up with the choice bones.
5 [the] choicest of The flock take and also pile up the bones under it make boil boiling its also they have cooked bones its in [the] midst of it.
Take the choice of the flock, and make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.
6 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe! [the] city of blood a pot which rust its [is] in it and rust its not it has gone out from it to piece of meat its to piece of meat its take out it not it has fallen on it a lot.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for it.
7 For blood its in [the] midst of it it was on bareness of rock it put it not it poured out it on the ground to cover over it dust.
For her blood was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over with dust.
8 To stir up rage to avenge vengeance I put blood its on bareness of rock to not to be covered.
To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.
9 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! [the] city of blood also I I will make great the pile.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of blood-guiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,
10 Increase the wood kindle the fire complete the meat and mix the seasoning and the bones let them be charred.
Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.
11 And set it on burning coals its empty so that it may grow warm and it will be hot bronze its and it will be melted in [the] midst of it uncleanness its it may be consumed rust its.
Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum may be consumed.
12 Toil it has made weary and not it comes out from it [the] great [amount] of rust its in a fire rust its.
With fraud hath she wearied [the poor]; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum [be removed].
13 In uncleanness your licentiousness because I cleansed you and not you are clean from uncleanness your not you will be clean again until give rest to I rage my on you.
In thy uncleanness is [thy] incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.
14 I Yahweh I have spoken [it is] coming and I will act not I will refrain and not I will have compassion and not I will have pity according to ways your and according to practices your they have judged you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
I the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
15 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 O son of humankind here I [am] about to take from you [the] desire of eyes your with a blow and not you must lament and not you must weep and not it will come tear[s] your.
Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.
17 Groaning - be silent dead [people] mourning not you must do turban your bind on you and sandals your you will put on feet your and not you must cover over a moustache and food of people not you must eat.
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of [other] men.
18 And I spoke to the people in the morning and she died wife my in the evening and I did in the morning just as I had been commanded.
And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.
19 And they said to me the people ¿ not will you tell to us what? [are] these [things] for us that you [are] doing.
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?
20 And I said to them [the] word of Yahweh it came to me saying.
And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
21 Say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to profane sanctuary my [the] pride of strength your [the] desire of eyes your and [the] love of being your and sons your and daughters your whom you have left by the sword they will fall.
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 And you will do just as I have done over a moustache not you must cover and food of people not you must eat.
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.
23 And turbans your [will be] on heads your and sandals your [will be] on feet your not you must lament and not you must weep and you will waste away in iniquities your and you will groan each to brother his.
And your bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.
24 And he will become Ezekiel for you a sign according to all that he has done you will do when comes it and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.
25 And you O son of humankind ¿ not on [the] day take I from them stronghold their [the] joy of splendor their [the] desire of eyes their and [the] uplifting of being their sons their and daughters their.
Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters, —
26 On the day that he will come the escapee to you for information of ears.
On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy ears.
27 On the day that it will be opened mouth your with the escapee so you may speak and not you will be dumb again and you will become for them a sign and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
