< Ezekiel 33 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
The word of YHWH came to 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 your people, and tell them, 'When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their 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.
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, 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.
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on 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.
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had 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 sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at 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.
"So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 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 tell the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your 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 you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your 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.
"You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: 'Thus you speak, saying, "Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; how then can 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.
Tell them, 'As I live,' says YHWH, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, 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.
"You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.'
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 to the righteous "He shall surely live," but he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but he shall die because of the iniquity he has committed.
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 to the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
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, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; 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.
None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; 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 the children of your people say, 'The way of YHWH is not just': but as for them, their way is not just.
18 When turns back a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do unrighteousness and he will die in them.
When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
19 And when turns back a wicked [person] from wickedness his and he will do justice and righteousness on them he he will live.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
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 you say, 'The way of YHWH is not just.' House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways."
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.
It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."
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 hand of YHWH had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
23 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
The word of YHWH came to 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 who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for 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 tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you 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?
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you 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.
"You shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord YHWH: "As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of 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.
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
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.
Then shall they know that I am YHWH, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, 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.
"As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, 'Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from YHWH.'
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.
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
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.
Look, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
33 And when comes it there! [it is] coming and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of them.
When this comes to pass, (look, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them."
