Ezekiel 12
1 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 son: child man in/on/with midst house: household [the] rebellion you(m. s.) to dwell which eye to/for them to/for to see: see and not to see: see ear to/for them to/for to hear: hear and not to hear: hear for house: household rebellion they(masc.)
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 and you(m. s.) son: child man to make to/for you article/utensil captivity and to reveal: remove by day to/for eye: seeing their and to reveal: remove from place your to(wards) place another to/for eye: seeing their perhaps to see: examine for house: household rebellion they(masc.)
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 and to come out: send article/utensil your like/as article/utensil captivity by day to/for eye: seeing their and you(m. s.) to come out: come in/on/with evening to/for eye: seeing their like/as exit captivity
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 to/for eye: seeing their to dig to/for you in/on/with wall and to come out: send in/on/with him
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 to/for eye: seeing their upon shoulder to lift: raise in/on/with darkness to come out: send face your to cover and not to see: see [obj] [the] land: country/planet for wonder to give: make you to/for house: household Israel
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 and to make: do so like/as as which to command article/utensil my to come out: send like/as article/utensil captivity by day and in/on/with evening to dig to/for me in/on/with wall in/on/with hand in/on/with darkness to come out: send upon shoulder to lift: bear to/for eye: seeing their
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 and to be word LORD to(wards) me in/on/with morning to/for to say
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 son: child man not to say to(wards) you house: household Israel house: household [the] rebellion what? you(m. s.) to make: do
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God [the] leader [the] oracle [the] this in/on/with Jerusalem and all house: household Israel which they(masc.) in/on/with midst their
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 to say I wonder your like/as as which to make: do so to make: do to/for them in/on/with captivity in/on/with captivity to go: went
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 and [the] leader which in/on/with midst their to(wards) shoulder to lift: raise in/on/with darkness and to come out: come in/on/with wall to dig to/for to come out: send in/on/with him face his to cover because which not to see: see to/for eye he/she/it [obj] [the] land: country/planet
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 and to spread [obj] net my upon him and to capture in/on/with net my and to come (in): bring [obj] him Babylon [to] land: country/planet Chaldea and [obj] her not to see: see and there to die
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 and all which around him (helper his *Q(K)*) and all band his to scatter to/for all spirit: breath and sword to empty after them
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 and to know for I LORD in/on/with to scatter I [obj] them in/on/with nation and to scatter [obj] them in/on/with land: country/planet
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 and to remain from them human number from sword from famine and from pestilence because to recount [obj] all abomination their in/on/with nation which to come (in): come there and to know for I LORD
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 son: child man food: bread your in/on/with quaking to eat and water your in/on/with quivering and in/on/with anxiety to drink
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 and to say to(wards) people [the] land: country/planet thus to say Lord YHWH/God to/for to dwell Jerusalem to(wards) land: soil Israel food: bread their in/on/with anxiety to eat and water their in/on/with horror to drink because be desolate land: country/planet her from fullness her from violence all [the] to dwell in/on/with her
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 and [the] city [the] to dwell to destroy and [the] land: country/planet devastation to be and to know for I LORD
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 son: child man what? [the] proverb [the] this to/for you upon land: soil Israel to/for to say to prolong [the] day and to perish all vision
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 to/for so to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God to cease [obj] [the] proverb [the] this and not to use a proverb [obj] him still in/on/with Israel that if: except if: except to speak: speak to(wards) them to present: come [the] day and word: promised all vision
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 for not to be still all vision vanity: false and divination smooth in/on/with midst house: household Israel
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 for I LORD to speak: speak [obj] which to speak: speak word and to make: do not to draw still for in/on/with day your house: household [the] rebellion to speak: speak word and to make: do him utterance Lord YHWH/God
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 son: child man behold house: household Israel to say [the] vision which he/she/it to see to/for day many and to/for time distant he/she/it to prophesy
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 to/for so to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God not to draw still all word my which to speak: speak word and to make: do utterance Lord YHWH/God
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
