Ezekiel 12
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 “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.
fili hominis in medio domus exasperantis tu habitas qui oculos habent ad videndum et non vident et aures ad audiendum et non audiunt quia domus exasperans est
3 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].
tu ergo fili hominis fac tibi vasa transmigrationis et transmigrabis per diem coram eis transmigrabis autem de loco tuo ad locum alterum in conspectu eorum si forte aspiciant quia domus exasperans est
4 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.
et efferes foras vasa tua quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem in conspectu eorum tu autem egredieris vespere coram eis sicut egreditur migrans
5 Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
ante oculos eorum perfodi tibi parietem et egredieris per eum
6 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.”
in conspectu eorum in umeris portaberis in caligine effereris faciem tuam velabis et non videbis terram quia portentum dedi te domui Israhel
7 [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.
feci ergo sicut praeceperat mihi vasa mea protuli quasi vasa transmigrantis per diem et vespere perfodi mihi parietem manu in caligine egressus sum et in umeris portatus in conspectu eorum
8 The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
et factus est sermo Domini ad me mane dicens
9 “You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
fili hominis numquid non dixerunt ad te domus Israhel domus exasperans quid tu facis
10 [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.’
dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus super ducem onus istud qui est in Hierusalem et super omnem domum Israhel quae est in medio eorum
11 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.
dic ego portentum vestrum quomodo feci sic fiet illis in transmigrationem et captivitatem ibunt
12 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.
et dux qui est in medio eorum in umeris portabitur in caligine egredietur parietem perfodient ut educant eum facies eius operietur ut non videat oculo terram
13 [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.
et extendam rete meum super illum et capietur in sagena mea et adducam eum in Babylonem in terram Chaldeorum et ipsam non videbit ibique morietur
14 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.
et omnes qui circa eum sunt praesidium eius et agmina eius dispergam in omnem ventum et gladium evaginabo post eos
15 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].
et scient quia ego Dominus quando dispersero illos in gentibus et disseminavero eos in terris
16 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].”
et relinquam ex eis viros paucos a gladio et fame et pestilentia ut narrent omnia scelera eorum in gentibus ad quas ingredientur et scient quia ego Dominus
17 Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
18 “You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
fili hominis panem tuum in conturbatione comede sed et aquam tuam in festinatione et maerore bibe
19 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.
et dices ad populum terrae haec dicit Dominus Deus ad eos qui habitant in Hierusalem in terra Israhel panem suum in sollicitudine comedent et aquam suam in desolatione bibent ut desoletur terra a multitudine sua propter iniquitatem omnium qui habitant in ea
20 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].'”
et civitates quae nunc habitantur desolatae erunt terraque deserta et scietis quia ego Dominus
21 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
22 “You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
fili hominis quod est proverbium istud vobis in terra Israhel dicentium in longum differentur dies et peribit omnis visio
23 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.
ideo dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus quiescere faciam proverbium istud neque vulgo dicetur ultra in Israhel et loquere ad eos quod adpropinquaverint dies et sermo omnis visionis
24 No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
non enim erit ultra omnis visio cassa neque divinatio ambigua in medio filiorum Israhel
25 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.’”
quia ego Dominus loquar quodcumque locutus fuero verbum et fiet non prolongabitur amplius sed in diebus vestris domus exasperans loquar verbum et faciam illud dicit Dominus Deus
26 Yahweh also gave me this message:
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
27 “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.’
fili hominis ecce domus Israhel dicentium visio quam hic videt in dies multos et in tempora longa iste prophetat
28 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.’”
propterea dic ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus non prolongabitur ultra omnis sermo meus verbum quod locutus fuero conplebitur dicit Dominus Deus
