Ezekiel 17

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

And the word of Jehovah came to 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 to 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 Jehovah: A great eagle, with great wings, with long feathers, full of plumage, which had divers colors, came to Lebanon, and took the highest branch of a 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 top of its young twigs, 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 one of the shoots of the land, and put it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow-tree.

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 branches turned towards him, and whose roots were under him. It became a vine, that brought forth branches, and shot forth boughs.

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 bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, that he might water it from the beds where it was planted.

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

And yet it was planted in a good soil, by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, and be a goodly 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 Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall not he pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it wither? In all the leaves of its branching shall it wither; even without a mighty arm, or many people, shall he pluck it up by the roots.

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, it is planted; but shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.

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

Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to 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? Say, behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took her king and her princes, and led them with 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 took one of the king's offspring, and made a covenant with him, and took an oath of him, 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 the kingdom might be brought low, so as not to lift itself up; that the covenant might be kept, and 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 be delivered?

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 Jehovah, 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 shall he 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 multitude accomplish anything for him in war, when they shall cast up mounds, and build forts to cut off many persons,

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

he hath despised the oath, and broken the covenant; behold, he hath given the hand, and yet 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 Jehovah: As I live, surely mine oath, which he hath despised, and my covenant, which he hath broken, will I recompense 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 contend with him there for his trespass which 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 fugitives with all his hosts shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered to all the winds; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, 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 Jehovah: I also will take from the top of the high cedar, and will get it; and from the highest of its twigs will I crop a tender one, and plant it upon a high and lofty mountain.

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

Upon a high mountain of Israel will I plant it, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar; and under it shall dwell birds of every wing; in the shadow of its branches 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, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree; that I have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree green. I, Jehovah, have spoken, and will do it.
