< 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.
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, 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 the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem 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.
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put 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 its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it 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 also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
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 the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots 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 the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to 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.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.”
9 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! [the] city of blood also I I will make great the pile.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
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. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burned.
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 empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust 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.
She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
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 your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
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 will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
15 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Also the LORD’s word 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 you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
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, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
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 spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was 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.
The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
20 And I said to them [the] word of Yahweh it came to me saying.
Then I said to them, “The LORD’s word came to 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 to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will 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.
You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
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.
Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward 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.
Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”’”
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.
“You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—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 he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your 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.
In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
