< יְחֶזְקֵאל 7 >

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃ 1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
וְאַתָּ֣ה בֶן־אָדָ֗ם כֹּה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֧י יְהוִ֛ה לְאַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל קֵ֑ץ בָּ֣א הַקֵּ֔ץ עַל־אַרְבַּעַת (אַרְבַּ֖ע) כַּנְפֹ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 2
“And as for you, son of man: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is coming, the end is coming, over the four regions of the earth.
עַתָּה֙ הַקֵּ֣ץ עָלַ֔יִךְ וְשִׁלַּחְתִּ֤י אַפִּי֙ בָּ֔ךְ וּשְׁפַטְתִּ֖יךְ כִּדְרָכָ֑יִךְ וְנָתַתִּ֣י עָלַ֔יִךְ אֵ֖ת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹתָֽיִךְ׃ 3
Now the end is over you, and I will send my fury upon you. And I will judge you according to your ways. And I will place all your abominations before you.
וְלֹא־תָחֹ֥וס עֵינִ֛י עָלַ֖יִךְ וְלֹ֣א אֶחְמֹ֑ול כִּ֣י דְרָכַ֜יִךְ עָלַ֣יִךְ אֶתֵּ֗ן וְתֹועֲבֹותַ֙יִךְ֙ בְּתֹוכֵ֣ךְ תִּֽהְיֶ֔יןָ וִידַעְתֶּ֖ם כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ פ 4
And my eye will not be lenient over you, and I will not take pity. Instead, I will set your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה רָעָ֛ה אַחַ֥ת רָעָ֖ה הִנֵּ֥ה בָאָֽה׃ 5
Thus says the Lord God: “One affliction, behold, one affliction is approaching.
קֵ֣ץ בָּ֔א בָּ֥א הַקֵּ֖ץ הֵקִ֣יץ אֵלָ֑יִךְ הִנֵּ֖ה בָּאָֽה׃ 6
The end is coming, the end is coming. It has been vigilant against you. Behold, it is approaching.
בָּ֧אָה הַצְּפִירָ֛ה אֵלֶ֖יךָ יֹושֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ בָּ֣א הָעֵ֗ת קָרֹ֛וב הַיֹּ֥ום מְהוּמָ֖ה וְלֹא־הֵ֥ד הָרִֽים׃ 7
Destruction is coming over you, who live upon the earth. The time is approaching, the day of slaughter is near, and it is not of the glory of the mountains.
עַתָּ֣ה מִקָּרֹ֗וב אֶשְׁפֹּ֤וךְ חֲמָתִי֙ עָלַ֔יִךְ וְכִלֵּיתִ֤י אַפִּי֙ בָּ֔ךְ וּשְׁפַטְתִּ֖יךְ כִּדְרָכָ֑יִךְ וְנָתַתִּ֣י עָלַ֔יִךְ אֵ֖ת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹותָֽיִךְ׃ 8
Now, very soon, I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will fulfill my fury in you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and I will set upon you all your crimes.
וְלֹא־תָחֹ֥וס עֵינִ֖י וְלֹ֣א אֶחְמֹ֑ול כִּדְרָכַ֜יִךְ עָלַ֣יִךְ אֶתֵּ֗ן וְתֹועֲבֹותַ֙יִךְ֙ בְּתֹוכֵ֣ךְ תִּֽהְיֶ֔יןָ וִֽידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה מַכֶּֽה׃ 9
And my eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. Instead, I will place your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, who is striking.
הִנֵּ֥ה הַיֹּ֖ום הִנֵּ֣ה בָאָ֑ה יָֽצְאָה֙ הַצְּפִרָ֔ה צָ֚ץ הַמַּטֶּ֔ה פָּרַ֖ח הַזָּדֹֽון׃ 10
Behold, the day! Behold, it approaches! Destruction has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, arrogance has germinated.
הֶחָמָ֥ס ׀ קָ֖ם לְמַטֵּה־רֶ֑שַׁע לֹא־מֵהֶ֞ם וְלֹ֧א מֵהֲמֹונָ֛ם וְלֹ֥א מֶהֱמֵהֶ֖ם וְלֹא־נֹ֥הַּ בָּהֶֽם׃ 11
Iniquity has risen up into a rod of impiety. There shall be nothing left of them, and of their people, and of the sound of them. And there shall be no rest for them.
בָּ֤א הָעֵת֙ הִגִּ֣יעַ הַיֹּ֔ום הַקֹּונֶה֙ אַל־יִשְׂמָ֔ח וְהַמֹּוכֵ֖ר אַל־יִתְאַבָּ֑ל כִּ֥י חָרֹ֖ון אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָֽהּ׃ 12
The time is approaching; the day is very near. Whoever buys should not rejoice. And whoever sells should not mourn. For wrath is over all of their people.
כִּ֣י הַמֹּוכֵ֗ר אֶל־הַמִּמְכָּר֙ לֹ֣א יָשׁ֔וּב וְעֹ֥וד בַּחַיִּ֖ים חַיָּתָ֑ם כִּֽי־חָזֹ֤ון אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָהּ֙ לֹ֣א יָשׁ֔וּב וְאִ֧ישׁ בַּעֲוֹנֹ֛ו חַיָּתֹ֖ו לֹ֥א יִתְחַזָּֽקוּ׃ 13
For whoever sells will not return to what he has sold, but as yet their life will be among the living. For the vision concerning their entire multitude will not turn back. And man will not be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.
תָּקְע֤וּ בַתָּקֹ֙ועַ֙ וְהָכִ֣ין הַכֹּ֔ל וְאֵ֥ין הֹלֵ֖ךְ לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּ֥י חֲרֹונִ֖י אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָֽהּ׃ 14
Sound the trumpet! Let everyone be prepared! And yet there is no one who may go to battle. For my wrath is over all their people.
הַחֶ֣רֶב בַּח֔וּץ וְהַדֶּ֥בֶר וְהָרָעָ֖ב מִבָּ֑יִת אֲשֶׁ֤ר בַּשָּׂדֶה֙ בַּחֶ֣רֶב יָמ֔וּת וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעִ֔יר רָעָ֥ב וָדֶ֖בֶר יֹאכֲלֶֽנּוּ׃ 15
The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. And whoever is in the city will be devoured by the pestilence and the famine.
וּפָֽלְטוּ֙ פְּלִ֣יטֵיהֶ֔ם וְהָי֣וּ אֶל־הֶהָרִ֗ים כְּיֹונֵ֧י הַגֵּאָיֹ֛ות כֻּלָּ֖ם הֹמֹ֑ות אִ֖ישׁ בַּעֲוֹנֹֽו׃ 16
And those who flee from among them will be saved. And they will be among the mountains, like doves in steep valleys, with every one of them trembling, each one because of his iniquity.
כָּל־הַיָּדַ֖יִם תִּרְפֶּ֑ינָה וְכָל־בִּרְכַּ֖יִם תֵּלַ֥כְנָה מָּֽיִם׃ 17
All hands will be weakened, and all knees will flow with water.
וְחָגְר֣וּ שַׂקִּ֔ים וְכִסְּתָ֥ה אֹותָ֖ם פַּלָּצ֑וּת וְאֶ֤ל כָּל־פָּנִים֙ בּוּשָׁ֔ה וּבְכָל־רָאשֵׁיהֶ֖ם קָרְחָֽה׃ 18
And they will wrap themselves with haircloth, and dread will cover them. And shame will be upon every face, and baldness will be upon all of their heads.
כַּסְפָּ֞ם בַּחוּצֹ֣ות יַשְׁלִ֗יכוּ וּזְהָבָם֮ לְנִדָּ֣ה יִֽהְיֶה֒ כַּסְפָּ֨ם וּזְהָבָ֜ם לֹֽא־יוּכַ֣ל לְהַצִּילָ֗ם בְּיֹום֙ עֶבְרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה נַפְשָׁם֙ לֹ֣א יְשַׂבֵּ֔עוּ וּמֵעֵיהֶ֖ם לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּ֑אוּ כִּֽי־מִכְשֹׁ֥ול עֲוֹנָ֖ם הָיָֽה׃ 19
Their silver will be thrown away, and their gold will be like a dunghill. Their silver and their gold will have no power to free them in the day of the fury of the Lord. They will not satisfy their soul, and their bellies will not be filled, because of the scandal of their iniquity.
וּצְבִ֤י עֶדְיֹו֙ לְגָאֹ֣ון שָׂמָ֔הוּ וְצַלְמֵ֧י תֹועֲבֹתָ֛ם שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶ֖ם עָ֣שׂוּ בֹ֑ו עַל־כֵּ֛ן נְתַתִּ֥יו לָהֶ֖ם לְנִדָּֽה׃ 20
And they have set arrogance as the ornament of their necklaces, and they have made images of their abominations and graven idols. Because of this, I have let it be an uncleanness for them.
וּנְתַתִּ֤יו בְּיַֽד־הַזָּרִים֙ לָבַ֔ז וּלְרִשְׁעֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ לְשָׁלָ֑ל וְחִלְּלֻהָ (וְחִלְּלֽוּהוּ)׃ 21
And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as a spoil, and to the impious of the earth as a prey, and they will defile it.
וַהֲסִבֹּותִ֤י פָנַי֙ מֵהֶ֔ם וְחִלְּל֖וּ אֶת־צְפוּנִ֑י וּבָאוּ־בָ֥הּ פָּרִיצִ֖ים וְחִלְּלֽוּהָ׃ פ 22
And I will avert my face from them, and they will violate my place of mystery. And untamed persons will enter into it, and they will defile it.
עֲשֵׂ֖ה הָֽרַתֹּ֑וק כִּ֣י הָאָ֗רֶץ מָֽלְאָה֙ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט דָּמִ֔ים וְהָעִ֖יר מָלְאָ֥ה חָמָֽס׃ 23
Cause it to be closed. For the land has been filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.
וְהֵֽבֵאתִי֙ רָעֵ֣י גֹויִ֔ם וְיָרְשׁ֖וּ אֶת־בָּֽתֵּיהֶ֑ם וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ גְּאֹ֣ון עַזִּ֔ים וְנִחֲל֖וּ מְקַֽדְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ 24
And I will lead in the most sinful among the Gentiles, and they will possess their houses. And I will cause the arrogance of the powerful to be quieted. And they will possess their sanctuaries.
קְפָ֖דָה־בָ֑א וּבִקְשׁ֥וּ שָׁלֹ֖ום וָאָֽיִן׃ 25
When anguish overwhelms them, they will seek peace, and there will be none.
הֹוָ֤ה עַל־הֹוָה֙ תָּבֹ֔וא וּשְׁמֻעָ֥ה אֶל־שְׁמוּעָ֖ה תִּֽהְיֶ֑ה וּבִקְשׁ֤וּ חָזֹון֙ מִנָּבִ֔יא וְתֹורָה֙ תֹּאבַ֣ד מִכֹּהֵ֔ן וְעֵצָ֖ה מִזְּקֵנִֽים׃ 26
Disturbance will follow after disturbance, and rumor after rumor. And they will seek the vision of the prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel will perish from the elders.
הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ יִתְאַבָּ֗ל וְנָשִׂיא֙ יִלְבַּ֣שׁ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וִידֵ֥י עַם־הָאָ֖רֶץ תִּבָּהַ֑לְנָה מִדַּרְכָּ֞ם אֶעֱשֶׂ֤ה אֹותָם֙ וּבְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶ֣ם אֶשְׁפְּטֵ֔ם וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ פ 27
The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with grief, and the hands of the people of the earth will be greatly disturbed. I will act toward them in accord with their own way, and I will judge them in accord with their own judgments. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
