Ezekiel 17

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

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 son: child man to riddle riddle and to use a proverb proverb to(wards) house: household Israel

'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,

3 and to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God [the] eagle [the] great: large great: large [the] wing slow [the] wing full [the] plumage which to/for him [the] embroidery to come (in): come to(wards) [the] Lebanon and to take: take [obj] treetop [the] cedar

and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar;

4 [obj] head: top shoot his to pluck and to come (in): bring him to(wards) land: country/planet merchant in/on/with city to trade to set: make him

He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

5 and to take: take from seed [the] land: country/planet and to give: put him in/on/with land: soil seed to take: take upon water many willow to set: make him

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters, he set it as a slip.

6 and to spring and to be to/for vine to overrun low height to/for to turn branch his to(wards) him and root his underneath: stand him to be and to be to/for vine and to make alone: pole and to send: depart bough

And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

7 and to be eagle one great: large great: large wing and many plumage and behold [the] vine [the] this to hunger root her upon him and branch his to send: depart to/for him to/for to water: watering [obj] her from bed plantation her

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

8 to(wards) land: soil pleasant to(wards) water many he/she/it to transplant to/for to make branch and to/for to lift: bear fruit to/for to be to/for vine clothing

It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately vine.

9 to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God to prosper not [obj] root her to tear and [obj] fruit her to strip and to wither all fresh-plucked branch her to wither and not in/on/with arm great: large and in/on/with people many to/for to lift: raise [obj] her from root her

Say thou: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither, yea, wither in all its sprouting leaves? neither shall great power or much people be at hand when it is plucked up by the roots thereof.

10 and behold to transplant to prosper not like/as to touch in/on/with her spirit: breath [the] east to wither to wither upon bed branch her to wither

Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? In the beds where it grew it shall wither.'

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

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

12 to say please to/for house: household [the] rebellion not to know what? these to say behold to come (in): come king Babylon Jerusalem and to take: take [obj] king her and [obj] ruler her and to come (in): bring [obj] them to(wards) him Babylon [to]

'Say now to the rebellious house: Know ye not what these things mean? tell them: Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon;

13 and to take: take from seed: children [the] kingship and to cut: make(covenant) with him covenant and to come (in): bring [obj] him in/on/with oath and [obj] leader [the] land: country/planet to take: take

and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away;

14 to/for to be kingdom low to/for lest to lift: raise to/for to keep: obey [obj] covenant his to/for to stand: stand her

that his might be a lowly kingdom, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

15 and to rebel in/on/with him to/for to send: depart messenger his Egypt to/for to give: give to/for him horse and people: soldiers many to prosper to escape [the] to make: do these and to break covenant and to escape

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?

16 alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely yes not in/on/with place [the] king [the] to reign [obj] him which to despise [obj] oath his and which to break [obj] covenant his with him in/on/with midst Babylon to die

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

17 and not in/on/with strength: soldiers great: large and in/on/with assembly many to make: do [obj] him Pharaoh in/on/with battle in/on/with to pour: build siege mound mound and in/on/with to build siegework to/for to cut: eliminate soul: life many

Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company succour him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls;

18 and to despise oath to/for to break covenant and behold to give: give hand: power his and all these to make: do not to escape

seeing he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.

19 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God alive I if: surely yes not oath my which to despise and covenant my which to break and to give: pay him in/on/with head his

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely Mine oath that he hath despised, and My covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.

20 and to spread upon him net my and to capture in/on/with net my and to come (in): bring him Babylon [to] and to judge with him there unfaithfulness his which be unfaithful in/on/with me

And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his treachery that he hath committed against Me.

21 and [obj] all (fugitive his *Q(K)*) in/on/with all band his in/on/with sword to fall: kill and [the] to remain to/for all spirit: breath to spread and to know for I LORD to speak: speak

And all his mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.

22 thus to say Lord YHWH/God and to take: take I from treetop [the] cedar [the] to exalt and to give: put from head: top shoot his tender to pluck and to transplant I upon mountain: mount high and be eminent

Thus saith the Lord GOD: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent;

23 in/on/with mountain: mount height Israel to transplant him and to lift: bear branch and to make fruit and to be to/for cedar great and to dwell underneath: under him all bird all wing in/on/with shadow branch his to dwell

in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

24 and to know all tree [the] land: country for I LORD to abase tree high to exult tree low to wither tree fresh and to sprout tree dry I LORD to speak: speak and to make: do

And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I the LORD have spoken and have done it.'
