8 behold to give: make [obj] face your strong to/for close face their and [obj] forehead your strong to/for close forehead their

But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.

9 like/as thorn strong from flint to give: make forehead your not to fear [obj] them and not to to be dismayed from face their for house: household rebellion they(masc.)

I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”

10 and to say to(wards) me son: child man [obj] all word my which to speak: speak to(wards) you to take: recieve in/on/with heart your and in/on/with ear your to hear: hear

He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].

Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”

12 and to lift: raise me spirit and to hear: hear after me voice quaking great: large to bless glory LORD from place his

[in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”

14 and spirit to lift: raise me and to take: take me and to go: went bitter in/on/with rage spirit my and hand: power LORD upon me to strengthen: strengthen

The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.

15 and to come (in): come to(wards) [the] captivity Tel-abib Tel-abib [the] to dwell to(wards) river Chebar (and to dwell *Q(K)*) they(masc.) to dwell there and to dwell there seven day be desolate: appalled in/on/with midst their

I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].

16 and to be from end seven day and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:

17 son: child man to watch to give: make you to/for house: household Israel and to hear: hear from lip my word and to warn [obj] them from me

“You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.

18 in/on/with to say I to/for wicked to die to die and not to warn him and not to speak: speak to/for to warn wicked from way: conduct his [the] wicked to/for to live him he/she/it wicked in/on/with iniquity: crime his to die and blood his from hand your to seek

When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].

19 and you(m. s.) for to warn wicked and not to return: repent from wickedness his and from way: conduct his [the] wicked he/she/it in/on/with iniquity: crime his to die and you(m. s.) [obj] soul your to rescue

But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].

20 and in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make injustice and to give: put stumbling to/for face: before his he/she/it to die for not to warn him in/on/with sin his to die and not to remember (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which to make: do and blood his from hand your to seek

Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].

21 and you(m. s.) for to warn him righteous to/for lest to sin righteous and he/she/it not to sin to live to live for to warn and you(m. s.) [obj] soul your to rescue

But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”

22 and to be upon me there hand: power LORD and to say to(wards) me to arise: rise to come out: come to(wards) [the] valley and there to speak: speak with you

[I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”

23 and to arise: rise and to come out: come to(wards) [the] valley and behold there glory LORD to stand: stand like/as glory which to see: see upon river Chebar and to fall: fall upon face my

So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.

24 and to come (in): come in/on/with me spirit and to stand: stand me upon foot my and to speak: speak with me and to say to(wards) me to come (in): come to shut in/on/with midst house: home your

Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.

25 and you(m. s.) son: child man behold to give: put upon you cord and to bind you in/on/with them and not to come out: come in/on/with midst their

People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.

26 and tongue your to cleave to(wards) palate your and be dumb and not to be to/for them to/for man to rebuke for house: household rebellion they(masc.)

[Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.

27 and in/on/with to speak: speak I with you to open [obj] lip your and to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God [the] to hear: hear to hear: hear and [the] rejected/fleeting to cease for house: household rebellion they(masc.)

[then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
