< Ezekiel 3 >
1 And he said to me O son of humankind [that] which you find eat eat the scroll this and go speak to [the] house of Israel.
2 And I opened mouth my and he caused to eat me the scroll this.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind belly your may you cause to eat and inward parts your may you fill the scroll this which I [am] giving to you and I ate [it]! and it was in mouth my like honey to sweet.
4 And he said to me O son of humankind go go to [the] house of Israel and you will speak with words my to them.
5 For not to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue you [are] being sent to [the] house of Israel.
6 Not - to peoples many deep of lip and heavy of tongue whom not you will understand words their if not to them I had sent you they they will listen to you.
7 And [the] house of Israel not they will be willing to listen to you for not they [are] willing to listen to me for all [the] house of Israel [are] hard of forehead and stern of heart they.
8 Here! I make face your hard corresponding to faces their and forehead your hard corresponding to forehead their.
9 Like diamond hard more than flint I make forehead your not you must fear them and not you must be dismayed from faces their for [are] a house of rebellion they.
10 And he said to me O son of humankind all words my which I will speak to you take in heart your and with ears your hear.
11 And go go to the exile[s] to [the] children of people your and you will speak to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh whether they will listen and or they will refrain.
12 And it lifted up me a spirit and I heard behind me a sound of rumbling great [be] blessed [the] glory of Yahweh from place its.
13 And [the] sound of - [the] wings of the living creatures touching closely each sister its and [the] sound of the wheels close by them and a sound of rumbling great.
14 And a spirit it lifted up me and it took me and I went bitter in [the] rage of spirit my and [the] hand of Yahweh on me it was strong.
15 And I came to the exile[s] Tel Abib who were dwelling to [the] river of Kebar (and I sat *Q(K)*) they [were] dwelling there and I sat there seven days appalled in midst of them.
16 And it was from [the] end of seven days. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
17 O son of humankind a watchman I appoint you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.
18 When say I to wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have warned him and not you have spoken to warn a wicked [person] from way his wicked to preserve alive him that wicked [person] for iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.
19 And you if you have warned a wicked [person] and not he has turned away from wickedness his and from way his wicked he for iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.
20 And when turns away a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do injustice and I will put an obstacle before him he he will die if not you warned him for sin his he will die and not they will be remembered (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did and blood his from hand your I will require.
21 And you if you have warned him a righteous [person] to not to sin a righteous [person] and he not he has sinned certainly he will live for he has been warned and you life your you have delivered.
22 And it was on me there [the] hand of Yahweh and he said to me arise go out to the plain and there I will speak with you.
23 And I arose and I went out to the plain and there! there [the] glory of Yahweh [was] standing like the glory which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar and I fell on face my.
24 And it came in me a spirit and it made stand up me on feet my and he spoke with me and he said to me go shut yourself up in [the] midst of house your.
25 And you O son of humankind there! people will put on you ropes and they will bind you with them and not you will go out in midst of them.
26 And tongue your I will make stick to palate your and you will be dumb and not you will become to them a person [who] reproves for [are] a house of rebellion they.
27 And when speak I with you I will open mouth your and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the [one who] hears - let him hear and the [person] who refrains - let him refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they.
