Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
| בֶּן־אָדָם בְּתוֹךְ בֵּית־הַמֶּרִי אַתָּה יֹשֵׁב אֲשֶׁר עֵינַיִם לָהֶם לִרְאוֹת וְלֹא רָאוּ אׇזְנַיִם לָהֶם לִשְׁמֹעַ וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי בֵּית מְרִי הֵֽם׃ |
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee thy baggage for captivity, and move by day in their sight; and thou shalt move from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
| וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם עֲשֵׂה לְךָ כְּלֵי גוֹלָה וּגְלֵה יוֹמָם לְעֵינֵיהֶם וְגָלִיתָ מִמְּקוֹמְךָ אֶל־מָקוֹם אַחֵר לְעֵינֵיהֶם אוּלַי יִרְאוּ כִּי בֵּית מְרִי הֵֽמָּה׃ |
4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for captivity: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
| וְהוֹצֵאתָ כֵלֶיךָ כִּכְלֵי גוֹלָה יוֹמָם לְעֵינֵיהֶם וְאַתָּה תֵּצֵא בָעֶרֶב לְעֵינֵיהֶם כְּמוֹצָאֵי גּוֹלָֽה׃ |
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry them out through it.
| לְעֵינֵיהֶם חֲתׇר־לְךָ בַקִּיר וְהוֹצֵאתָ בּֽוֹ׃ |
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.
| לְעֵינֵיהֶם עַל־כָּתֵף תִּשָּׂא בָּעֲלָטָה תוֹצִיא פָּנֶיךָ תְכַסֶּה וְלֹא תִרְאֶה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ כִּֽי־מוֹפֵת נְתַתִּיךָ לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
| וָאַעַשׂ כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר צֻוֵּיתִי כֵּלַי הוֹצֵאתִי כִּכְלֵי גוֹלָה יוֹמָם וּבָעֶרֶב חָתַֽרְתִּי־לִי בַקִּיר בְּיָד בָּעֲלָטָה הוֹצֵאתִי עַל־כָּתֵף נָשָׂאתִי לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ |
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי בַּבֹּקֶר לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What doest thou?
| בֶּן־אָדָם הֲלֹא אָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בֵּית הַמֶּרִי מָה אַתָּה עֹשֶֽׂה׃ |
10 Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
| אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הַנָּשִׂיא הַמַּשָּׂא הַזֶּה בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְכׇל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה בְתוֹכָֽם׃ |
11 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall move and go into captivity.
| אֱמֹר אֲנִי מֽוֹפֶתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי כֵּן יֵעָשֶׂה לָהֶם בַּגּוֹלָה בַשְּׁבִי יֵלֵֽכוּ׃ |
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.
| וְהַנָּשִׂיא אֲשֶׁר־בְּתוֹכָם אֶל־כָּתֵף יִשָּׂא בָּעֲלָטָה וְיֵצֵא בַּקִּיר יַחְתְּרוּ לְהוֹצִיא בוֹ פָּנָיו יְכַסֶּה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה לַעַיִן הוּא אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
| וּפָרַשְׂתִּי אֶת־רִשְׁתִּי עָלָיו וְנִתְפַּשׂ בִּמְצוּדָתִי וְהֵבֵאתִי אֹתוֹ בָבֶלָה אֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים וְאוֹתָהּ לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה וְשָׁם יָמֽוּת׃ |
14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
| וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר סְבִֽיבֹתָיו עֶזְרֹה וְכׇל־אֲגַפָּיו אֱזָרֶה לְכׇל־רוּחַ וְחֶרֶב אָרִיק אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם׃ |
15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
| וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָה בַּהֲפִיצִי אוֹתָם בַּגּוֹיִם וְזֵרִיתִי אוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ |
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
| וְהוֹתַרְתִּי מֵהֶם אַנְשֵׁי מִסְפָּר מֵחֶרֶב מֵרָעָב וּמִדָּבֶר לְמַעַן יְסַפְּרוּ אֶת־כׇּל־תּוֹעֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם בַּגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָׁם וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and anxious care;
| בֶּן־אָדָם לַחְמְךָ בְּרַעַשׁ תֹּאכֵל וּמֵימֶיךָ בְּרׇגְזָה וּבִדְאָגָה תִּשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
19 And say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with anxious care, and drink their water with horror, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all them that dwell in it.
| וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־עַם הָאָרֶץ כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לְיוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לַחְמָם בִּדְאָגָה יֹאכֵלוּ וּמֵימֵיהֶם בְּשִׁמָּמוֹן יִשְׁתּוּ לְמַעַן תֵּשַׁם אַרְצָהּ מִמְּלֹאָהּ מֵחֲמַס כׇּֽל־הַיֹּשְׁבִים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
| וְהֶעָרִים הַנּֽוֹשָׁבוֹת תֶּחֱרַבְנָה וְהָאָרֶץ שְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וִידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽה׃ |
21 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
| בֶּן־אָדָם מָֽה־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה לָכֶם עַל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר יַֽאַרְכוּ הַיָּמִים וְאָבַד כׇּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ |
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הִשְׁבַּתִּי אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה וְלֹֽא־יִמְשְׁלוּ אֹתוֹ עוֹד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי אִם־דַּבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם קָֽרְבוּ הַיָּמִים וּדְבַר כׇּל־חָזֽוֹן׃ |
24 For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
| כִּי לֹא יִהְיֶה עוֹד כׇּל־חֲזוֹן שָׁוְא וּמִקְסַם חָלָק בְּתוֹךְ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
| כִּי ׀ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֲדַבֵּר אֵת אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וְיֵעָשֶׂה לֹא תִמָּשֵׁךְ עוֹד כִּי בִימֵיכֶם בֵּית הַמֶּרִי אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וַעֲשִׂיתִיו נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are distant.
| בֶּן־אָדָם הִנֵּה בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֹֽמְרִים הֶחָזוֹן אֲשֶׁר־הוּא חֹזֶה לְיָמִים רַבִּים וּלְעִתִּים רְחוֹקוֹת הוּא נִבָּֽא׃ |
28 Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
| לָכֵן אֱמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לֹא־תִמָּשֵׁךְ עוֹד כׇּל־דְּבָרָי אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר דָּבָר וְיֵעָשֶׂה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִֽה׃ |
