Ezekiel 12
1 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 son: child man in/on/with midst house: household [the] rebellion you(m. s.) to dwell which eye to/for them to/for to see: see and not to see: see ear to/for them to/for to hear: hear and not to hear: hear for house: household rebellion they(masc.)
“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.
3 and you(m. s.) son: child man to make to/for you article/utensil captivity and to reveal: remove by day to/for eye: seeing their and to reveal: remove from place your to(wards) place another to/for eye: seeing their perhaps to see: examine for house: household rebellion they(masc.)
So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.
4 and to come out: send article/utensil your like/as article/utensil captivity by day to/for eye: seeing their and you(m. s.) to come out: come in/on/with evening to/for eye: seeing their like/as exit captivity
Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.
5 to/for eye: seeing their to dig to/for you in/on/with wall and to come out: send in/on/with him
While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.
6 to/for eye: seeing their upon shoulder to lift: raise in/on/with darkness to come out: send face your to cover and not to see: see [obj] [the] land: country/planet for wonder to give: make you to/for house: household Israel
When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”
7 and to make: do so like/as as which to command article/utensil my to come out: send like/as article/utensil captivity by day and in/on/with evening to dig to/for me in/on/with wall in/on/with hand in/on/with darkness to come out: send upon shoulder to lift: bear to/for eye: seeing their
So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.
8 and to be word LORD to(wards) me in/on/with morning to/for to say
In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
9 son: child man not to say to(wards) you house: household Israel house: household [the] rebellion what? you(m. s.) to make: do
“Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God [the] leader [the] oracle [the] this in/on/with Jerusalem and all house: household Israel which they(masc.) in/on/with midst their
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’
11 to say I wonder your like/as as which to make: do so to make: do to/for them in/on/with captivity in/on/with captivity to go: went
You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.
12 and [the] leader which in/on/with midst their to(wards) shoulder to lift: raise in/on/with darkness and to come out: come in/on/with wall to dig to/for to come out: send in/on/with him face his to cover because which not to see: see to/for eye he/she/it [obj] [the] land: country/planet
When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.
13 and to spread [obj] net my upon him and to capture in/on/with net my and to come (in): bring [obj] him Babylon [to] land: country/planet Chaldea and [obj] her not to see: see and there to die
But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.
14 and all which around him (helper his *Qk) and all band his to scatter to/for all spirit: breath and sword to empty after them
I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.
15 and to know for I LORD in/on/with to scatter I [obj] them in/on/with nation and to scatter [obj] them in/on/with land: country/planet
They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.
16 and to remain from them human number from sword from famine and from pestilence because to recount [obj] all abomination their in/on/with nation which to come (in): come there and to know for I LORD
But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
17 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 son: child man food: bread your in/on/with quaking to eat and water your in/on/with quivering and in/on/with anxiety to drink
“Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.
19 and to say to(wards) people [the] land: country/planet thus to say Lord YHWH/God to/for to dwell Jerusalem to(wards) land: soil Israel food: bread their in/on/with anxiety to eat and water their in/on/with horror to drink because be desolate land: country/planet her from fullness her from violence all [the] to dwell in/on/with her
Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.
20 and [the] city [the] to dwell to destroy and [the] land: country/planet devastation to be and to know for I LORD
The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
21 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
22 son: child man what? [the] proverb [the] this to/for you upon land: soil Israel to/for to say to prolong [the] day and to perish all vision
“Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?
23 to/for so to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God to cease [obj] [the] proverb [the] this and not to use a proverb [obj] him still in/on/with Israel that if: except if: except to speak: speak to(wards) them to present: come [the] day and word: promised all vision
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.
24 for not to be still all vision vanity: false and divination smooth in/on/with midst house: household Israel
There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,
25 for I LORD to speak: speak [obj] which to speak: speak word and to make: do not to draw still for in/on/with day your house: household [the] rebellion to speak: speak word and to make: do him utterance Lord YHWH/God
because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”
26 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,
27 son: child man behold house: household Israel to say [the] vision which he/she/it to see to/for day many and to/for time distant he/she/it to prophesy
“Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’
28 to/for so to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God not to draw still all word my which to speak: speak word and to make: do utterance Lord YHWH/God
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
