Ezekiel 33

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 O son of humankind speak to [the] children of people your and you will say to them a land that I will bring on it a sword and they will choose [the] people of the land a man one from ends their and they will make him for them into a watchman.

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, If there be a land over which I bring the sword, and the people of the land take a man from among themselves, and appoint him unto themselves for a watchman;

3 And he will see the sword coming on the land and he will give a blast on the trumpet and he will warn the people.

And if he see the sword coming over the land, and blow the cornet, and warn the people;

4 And he will hear the [one who] hears [the] sound of the trumpet and not he took warning and it came [the] sword and it took him blood his on head his it will be.

And whosoever heareth the sound of the cornet, and taketh no warning; and the sword cometh, and taketh him away: his blood shall be upon his own head.

5 [the] sound of The trumpet he heard and not he took warning blood his on him it will be and he he had taken warning life his he delivered.

The sound of the cornet hath he heard, and he hath taken no warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken warning he would have delivered his soul.

6 And the watchman if he will see the sword coming and not he will give a blast on the trumpet and the people not it was warned and it came [the] sword and it took of them anyone he in iniquity his he was taken and blood his from [the] hand of the watchman I will require.

But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the cornet, so that the people be not warned, and the sword cometh, and taketh away from among them some person: this one is taken away for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from the watchman's hand.

7 And you O son of humankind a watchman I have appointed you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.

But as for thee, O son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: so that when thou hearest a word from my mouth, thou shalt warn them from me.

8 When say I to the wicked [person] O wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have spoken to warn [the] wicked [person] from way his that wicked [person] in iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.

When I say unto the wicked, O wicked one, thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way: that wicked one shall die for his iniquity; but his blood will I require from thy hand.

9 And you if you have warned [the] wicked [person] from way his to turn back from it and not he has turned back from way his he in iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.

Nevertheless, if thou hast indeed warned the wicked of his way to turn away from it, and he do not turn from his way: he shall certainly die for his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

10 And you O son of humankind say to [the] house of Israel thus you have said saying that transgressions our and sins our [are] on us and in them we [are] wasting away and how? will we live.

But thou, O son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus do ye speak, saying, Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and through them do we pine away: how then shall we live?

11 Say to them [by] [the] life of me - [the] utterance of - [the] Lord Yahweh if I take pleasure in [the] death of the wicked [person] that except when turns back a wicked [person] from way his and he will live turn back turn back from ways your evil and why? will you die O house of Israel.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but in the return of the wicked from his way that he may live: return ye, return ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

12 And you O son of humankind say to [the] children of people your [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] not it will deliver him on [the] day of transgression his and [the] wickedness of the wicked [person] not he will stumble in it on [the] day turns back he from wickedness his and a righteous [person] not he will be able to live in it on [the] day sins he.

But thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not stumble through it on the day that he returneth from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live through the other on the day that he sinneth.

13 When say I to the righteous [person] certainly he will live and he he relies on righteousness his and he will do unrighteousness all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) not they will be remembered and in unrighteousness his which he has done in it he will die.

When I say of the righteous, that he shall surely live, and he trusteth to his own righteousness, and committeth what is wrong: all his righteous deeds shall not be remembered, and for his wrong that he hath committed, —through this shall he die.

14 And when say I to the wicked [person] surely you will die and he will turn back from sin his and he will do justice and righteousness.

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and he turneth from his sin, and executeth justice and righteousness;

15 A pledge he will return a wicked [person] robbery he will repay in [the] statutes of life he walks to not to do unrighteousness certainly he will live not he will die.

If the wicked restore the pledge, make restitution for what he hath robbed, walk in the statutes of life, so as not to do any wrong: he shall surely live, he shall not die.

16 All (sins his *Q(K)*) which he has sinned not they will be remembered to him justice and righteousness he has done certainly he will live.

All his sins that he hath committed shall not be remembered unto him: justice and righteousness hath he executed, he shall surely live.

17 And they say [the] children of people your not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord and they own way their not it is correct.

Yet say the children of thy people, The way of the Lord is not equitable: while, as to them, their way is not equitable.

18 When turns back a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do unrighteousness and he will die in them.

When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and doth what is wrong, he shall even die therefore.

19 And when turns back a wicked [person] from wickedness his and he will do justice and righteousness on them he he will live.

And when the wicked returneth from his wickedness, and executeth justice and righteousness, he shall surely live therefore.

20 And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord everyone according to ways his I will judge you O house of Israel.

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. Every one after his own ways will I judge you, O house of Israel.

21 And it was in two [plus] ten year in the tenth [month] on [day] five of the month of exile our he came to me the escapee from Jerusalem saying it has been struck the city.

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month after our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem, saying, The city hath been smitten.

22 And [the] hand of Yahweh it had been to me in the evening before came the escapee and he had opened mouth my until came to me in the morning and it was opened mouth my and not I was dumb again.

Now the inspiration of the Lord was come upon me in the evening, before the coming of the one who had escaped; and he had opened my mouth, before he was come to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened and I was not kept dumb any more.

23 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

24 O son of humankind [the] inhabitants of the waste places these on [the] land of Israel [are] saying saying one he was Abraham and he possessed the land and we [are] many to us it has been given the land to a possession.

Son of man, they that dwell in these ruins in the land of Israel say as followeth, But one man was Abraham, and he obtained the land as an inheritance; and as we are many, the land must [surely] be given to us for an inheritance.

25 Therefore say to them thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh with the blood - you eat and eyes your you lift up to idols your and blood you shed and ¿ land will you possess?

Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, By the blood do ye eat, and your eyes do you lift up toward your idols, and blood do ye shed: and ye expect to possess the land?

26 You have stood on sword your you have done abomination and everyone [the] wife of neighbor his you have defiled and the land will you possess?

Ye depend upon your sword, ye commit abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife: and ye expect to possess the land?

27 Thus you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [by] [the] life of me if not [those] who [are] in the waste places by the sword they will fall and [the one] who [is] on [the] surface of the field to the animal[s] I will give him to eat him and [those] who [are] in the strongholds and in the caves by pestilence they will die.

Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As I live, surely those that are in the ruined places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts that they may devour him, and those that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die through the pestilence.

28 And I will make the land a desolation and a waste and it will cease [the] pride of strength its and they will be desolate [the] mountains of Israel from not [one who] passes by.

And I will render the land desolate and wasted, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, with none to pass through them.

29 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when make I the land a desolation and a waste on all abominations their which they have done.

And they shall experience that I am the Lord, when I render the land desolate and wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

30 And you O son of humankind [the] children of people your who are speaking together in you beside the walls and in [the] doorways of the houses and he speaks one with one each with brother his saying come please and hear what? [is] the word that is coming out from with Yahweh.

And thou, son of man, [there are] the children of thy people, who are talking about thee by the walls and in the entrances of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Do come, and hear what the word is which cometh forth from the Lord.

31 So they may come to you like [the] coming of a people so they may sit before you people my and they hear words your and them not they do for lustful desires in mouth their they [are] doing after unjust gain their heart their [is] going.

And then they come unto thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but do not execute them; for as merry songs they carry them in their mouth, while their heart goeth after their unlawful gains.

32 And there you to them [are] like a song of lustful desires [one] beautiful of voice and [one who] does well to play and they hear words your and [are] doing not they them.

And, lo, thou art unto them as a merry song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well: and [thus] they hear thy words, but execute them not.

33 And when comes it there! [it is] coming and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of them.

But when it cometh to pass, [lo, it will come, ] then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
