Ezekiel 14

1 and to come (in): come to(wards) me human from old: elder Israel and to dwell to/for face: before my

One day some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me.

2 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

Then Yahweh gave me this message:

3 son: child man [the] human [the] these to ascend: establish idol their upon heart their and stumbling iniquity: crime their to give: put before face their to seek to seek to/for them

“You human, these men want to [IDM] worship idols, and they are allowing idols to induce them to sin [IDM]. So I will certainly [RHQ] answer them if they ask me for advice.

4 to/for so to speak: speak with them and to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God man man from house: household Israel which to ascend: establish [obj] idol his to(wards) heart his and stumbling iniquity: crime his to set: make before face his and to come (in): come to(wards) [the] prophet I LORD to answer to/for him (to come (in): come *Q(K)*) in/on/with abundance idol his

So say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: When any Israeli person wants to worship idols which will induce him to sin, and he goes to a [to get advice], I, Yahweh, will give him the answer that he deserves to receive because he worship idols.

5 because to capture [obj] house: household Israel in/on/with heart their which be a stranger from upon me in/on/with idol their all their

[I will do that] in order that the Israeli people, who have abandoned me in order to worship their idols, will sincerely [IDM] worship me again.’

6 to/for so to say to(wards) house: household Israel thus to say Lord YHWH/God to return: repent and to return: repent from upon idol your and from upon all abomination your to return: turn back face your

Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: (Repent/Stop sinning)! Stop worshiping your idols, and stop all your [other] detestable behavior!’

7 for man man from house: household Israel and from [the] sojourner which to sojourn in/on/with Israel and to dedicate from after me and to ascend: establish idol his to(wards) heart his and stumbling iniquity: crime his to set: put before face his and to come (in): come to(wards) [the] prophet to/for to seek to/for him in/on/with me I LORD to answer to/for him in/on/with me

When any of [you] Israeli people or any foreigner living among you turns away from me and starts worshiping idols [IDM] that induce him to sin, and then goes to a prophet to find out what I want him to do, I myself will answer him.

8 and to give: put face my in/on/with man [the] he/she/it and to set: make him to/for sign: indicator and to/for proverb and to cut: eliminate him from midst people my and to know for I LORD

I will show that I detest him, and [what happens to] him to be a warning [to others], and cause him to be someone whom people despise. I will cause him to no longer be allowed to associate with my people. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

9 and [the] prophet for to entice and to speak: speak word I LORD to entice [obj] [the] prophet [the] he/she/it and to stretch [obj] hand: power my upon him and to destroy him from midst people my Israel

And if a prophet is deceived and gives a false prophecy, [even though] I [allowed him to] give that message, I will get rid of him and remove him from among my Israeli people.

10 and to lift: guilt iniquity: punishment their like/as iniquity: punishment [the] to seek like/as iniquity: punishment [the] prophet to be

Both the prophet and the one who asks him for advice will be guilty, [and I will punish both of them].

11 because not to go astray still house: household Israel from after me and not to defile still in/on/with all transgression their and to be to/for me to/for people and I to be to/for them to/for God utterance Lord YHWH/God

Then you Israeli people will no longer abandon me, and you will no longer become unacceptable to me because of your sins. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, say.”

12 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],

13 son: child man land: country/planet for to sin to/for me to/for be unfaithful unfaithfulness and to stretch hand: power my upon her and to break to/for her tribe: supply food: bread and to send: depart in/on/with her famine and to cut: eliminate from her man and animal

“You human, [the people of some] country sin against me by abandoning me, and I punish [IDM] them by cutting off their food supply and by sending a famine, with the result that people and animals die,

14 and to be three [the] human [the] these in/on/with midst her Noah (Daniel *Q(K)*) and Job they(masc.) in/on/with righteousness their to rescue soul: life their utterance Lord YHWH/God

even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were there, they would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.

15 if living thing bad: harmful to pass in/on/with land: country/planet and be bereaved her and to be devastation from without to pass from face: because [the] living thing

Or, if I send wild animals throughout the country, and they attack and [many of] [HYP] the people, with the result that travel in that country becomes very dangerous and no one travels through that country,

16 three [the] human [the] these in/on/with midst her alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely no son: child and if: surely no daughter to rescue they(masc.) to/for alone them to rescue and [the] land: country/planet to be devastation

[as surely] as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they could not save [even their own] sons or [from being killed]. Only those [three] would (be saved/remain alive), and the country would become desolate. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.

17 or sword to come (in): bring upon [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it and to say sword to pass in/on/with land: country/planet and to cut: eliminate from her man and animal

Or, if I bring enemy soldiers [MTY] to attack that country, and they kill [MTY] people and animals throughout that country with their swords,

18 and three [the] human [the] these in/on/with midst her alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God not to rescue son: child and daughter for they(masc.) to/for alone them to rescue

as surely as I am alive, even if those three men were in that country, they would not be able to save even their own sons or [from being killed]. They would save only themselves. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.

19 or pestilence to send: depart to(wards) [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it and to pour: pour rage my upon her in/on/with blood to/for to cut: eliminate from her man and animal

Or, if I send a plague into that land and cause the people and the animals to [from the plague] because I am very angry with those people,

20 and Noah (Daniel *Q(K)*) and Job in/on/with midst her alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely no son: child if: surely no daughter to rescue they(masc.) in/on/with righteousness their to rescue soul: life their

[as surely] as I am alive, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in that country, they would not [be able to] save even their sons and daughters. They would save only themselves because of their being righteous. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.

21 for thus to say Lord YHWH/God also for four judgment my [the] bad: harmful sword and famine and living thing bad: harmful and pestilence to send: depart to(wards) Jerusalem to/for to cut: eliminate from her man and animal

So [now] this is what [I, ], Yahweh the Lord, say: I will cause four things to happen to [the people of] Jerusalem to punish them very severely. [Some] people and animals will be killed by swords, [some will die from] famines, [others will be attacked and killed by] wild animals, and [others will die in] plagues.

22 and behold to remain in/on/with her survivor [the] to come out: send son: child and daughter look! they to come out: come to(wards) you and to see: see [obj] way: conduct their and [obj] wantonness their and to be sorry: comfort upon [the] distress: harm which to come (in): bring upon Jerusalem [obj] all which to come (in): bring upon her

But some [of your people] will remain alive, [both adults] and children. They will come to you, [Ezekiel, in Babylon]. And when you see [disgusting] behavior and actions, you will realize that I had good reasons for causing [the people of] Jerusalem to experience those many great disasters [DOU] that I have sent to them.

23 and to be sorry: comfort [obj] you for to see: see [obj] way: conduct their and [obj] wantonness their and to know for not for nothing to make: do [obj] all which to make: do in/on/with her utterance Lord YHWH/God

When you see those things that they do, you will know that there were very good reasons [LIT] for me to do everything that I caused to happen to them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.”
