יחזקאל 7
| ויהי דבר יהוה אלי לאמר | 1 |
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
| ואתה בן אדם כה אמר אדני יהוה לאדמת ישראל--קץ בא הקץ על ארבעת (ארבע) כנפות הארץ | 2 |
“You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
| עתה הקץ עליך ושלחתי אפי בך ושפטתיך כדרכיך ונתתי עליך את כל תועבותיך | 3 |
[people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
| ולא תחוס עיני עליך ולא אחמול כי דרכיך עליך אתן ותועבותיך בתוכך תהיין וידעתם כי אני יהוה | 4 |
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
| כה אמר אדני יהוה רעה אחת רעה הנה באה | 5 |
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
| קץ בא בא הקץ הקיץ אליך הנה באה | 6 |
This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
| באה הצפירה אליך יושב הארץ בא העת קרוב היום מהומה--ולא הד הרים | 7 |
It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
| עתה מקרוב אשפוך חמתי עליך וכליתי אפי בך ושפטתיך כדרכיך ונתתי עליך את כל תועבותיך | 8 |
I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
| ולא תחוס עיני ולא אחמול כדרכיך עליך אתן ותועבותיך בתוכך תהיין וידעתם כי אני יהוה מכה | 9 |
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
| הנה היום הנה באה יצאה הצפרה--צץ המטה פרח הזדון | 10 |
The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
| החמס קם למטה רשע לא מהם ולא מהמונם ולא מהמהם--ולא נה בהם | 11 |
People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
| בא העת הגיע היום--הקונה אל ישמח והמכר אל יתאבל כי חרון אל כל המונה | 12 |
Now is the time; that day has arrived.
| כי המכר אל הממכר לא ישוב ועוד בחיים חיתם כי חזון אל כל המונה לא ישוב ואיש בעונו חיתו לא יתחזקו | 13 |
People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
| תקעו בתקוע והכין הכל ואין הלך למלחמה כי חרוני אל כל המונה | 14 |
Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
| החרב בחוץ והדבר והרעב מבית אשר בשדה בחרב ימות ואשר בעיר רעב ודבר יאכלנו | 15 |
[When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
| ופלטו פליטיהם והיו אל ההרים כיוני הגאיות כלם המות--איש בעונו | 16 |
Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
| כל הידים תרפינה וכל ברכים תלכנה מים | 17 |
[Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
| וחגרו שקים וכסתה אותם פלצות ואל כל פנים בושה ובכל ראשיהם קרחה | 18 |
They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
| כספם בחוצות ישליכו וזהבם לנדה יהיה--כספם וזהבם לא יוכל להצילם ביום עברת יהוה נפשם לא ישבעו ומעיהם לא ימלאו כי מכשול עונם היה | 19 |
They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
| וצבי עדיו לגאון שמהו וצלמי תועבתם שקוציהם עשו בו על כן נתתיו להם לנדה | 20 |
They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
| ונתתיו ביד הזרים לבז ולרשעי הארץ לשלל וחללוה (וחללוהו) | 21 |
I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
| והסבותי פני מהם וחללו את צפוני ובאו בה פריצים וחללוה | 22 |
I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
| עשה הרתוק כי הארץ מלאה משפט דמים והעיר מלאה חמס | 23 |
Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
| והבאתי רעי גוים וירשו את בתיהם והשבתי גאון עזים ונחלו מקדשיהם | 24 |
So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
| קפדה בא ובקשו שלום ואין | 25 |
When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
| הוה על הוה תבוא ושמעה אל שמועה תהיה ובקשו חזון מנביא--ותורה תאבד מכהן ועצה מזקנים | 26 |
You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
| המלך יתאבל ונשיא ילבש שממה וידי עם הארץ תבהלנה מדרכם אעשה אתם ובמשפטיהם אשפטם וידעו כי אני יהוה | 27 |
Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
