< 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 Yahweh came unto me. in the ninth year in the tenth month, on the tenth 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 the name of the day, this selfsame day, —the king of Babylon cast himself against Jerusalem, on this selfsame 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.
Put thou forth therefore, against the perverse house a parable, and say unto them Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Set on the caldron set it on, Moreover also pour into it water:
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 pieces thereof into it, Every good piece thigh and shoulder, With the choice of the bones, fill it:
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 of the choice of the rock, Moreover also pile of bones place under it, - Boil the pieces thereof, Yea let the bones of it seethe in the midst thereof.
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.
Wherefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed. The caldron whose scum is in it, and whose scum, hath not gone out of it: Piece by piece, bring it out, There hath fallen thereon no lot.
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 own blood, hath come to be in her midst, Upon the smooth face of the cliff, hath she set it, - She hath not poured it out on the earth, that she might cover it with dust.
8 To stir up rage to avenge vengeance I put blood its on bareness of rock to not to be covered.
To bring up indignation to execute an avenging, have I set her blood upon the smooth face of the cliff, —that it may not be covered.
9 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! [the] city of blood also I I will make great the pile.
Wherefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed, —Even I myself, will make large the pile.
10 Increase the wood kindle the fire complete the meat and mix the seasoning and the bones let them be charred.
Heap on the wood Kindle the fire, Consume the flesh, Yea season with spice, And let the bones 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 set it upon the live coals thereof empty, —that the copper of it may be scorched and burn. So that the impurity thereof may be annihilated within it The scum thereof 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 toils, hath she wearied herself, —Since her abundant scum will not go out of her, into the fire, with her scum!
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 thine uncleanness, is lewdness; be- cause I purified thee and thou wast not purified, from thine uncleanness, thou shalt not be purified any more, until I have let mine indignation rest upon 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 Yahweh, have spoken It cometh and I will perform I will not let alone, neither will I shield, Nor will I repent, - According to thy ways and according to thy doings, have they judged thee, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
15 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 me! taking away from thee the delight of thine eyes, with a stroke, - But thou shall not lament Neither shalt thou weep, Neither shall come—thy tears:
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.
To groan, forbear, Over the dead—no mourning, shalt thou make Thy chaplet, bind thou on thee And thy sandals: , put thou on thy feet, And thou shalt not cover thy beard, And the bread of other men, shalt thou not eat.
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.
So I spake unto the people in the morning, and my wife died in the 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.
Then said the people unto me: Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou shouldst be acting thus?
20 And I said to them [the] word of Yahweh it came to me saying.
So I said unto them: The word of Yahweh hath come 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.
Say to the house of Israel thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! profaning my sanctuary. The pride of your strength, The delight of your eyes And the object of the tender regard of your soul, - And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind, by the sword, shall fall.
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.
Then shall ye do, as I have done.— The beard, shall ye not cover, 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 chaplets shall be on your heads. And your sandals on your feet, Ye shall neither lament, nor weep, - Yet shall ye pine away in your iniquities, and shall groan one to another.
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.
So shall Ezekiel become to you a wonder, According to all that he hath done, shall ye do: When it cometh, then shall ye know that I am The Lord, Yahweh.
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.
Thou, therefore Son of man, Shall it not be— In the day when I take away from them Their strength, The joy of their adorning, — The delight of their eyes And the desire of their soul, Their sons and their daughters
26 On the day that he will come the escapee to you for information of ears.
That in that day, one that hath escaped shall come in unto thee, —to cause thee to hear it with thine own 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.
That in that day, thy mouth shall be opened unto him that hath escaped, And thou shalt speak and not be dumb any longer? So shalt thou become to them a wonder, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
