Ezekiel 17

1 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 son: child man to riddle riddle and to use a proverb proverb to(wards) house: household Israel

"Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;

3 and to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God [the] eagle [the] great: large great: large [the] wing slow [the] wing full [the] plumage which to/for him [the] embroidery to come (in): come to(wards) [the] Lebanon and to take: take [obj] treetop [the] cedar

and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:

4 [obj] head: top shoot his to pluck and to come (in): bring him to(wards) land: country/planet merchant in/on/with city to trade to set: make him

he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

5 and to take: take from seed [the] land: country/planet and to give: put him in/on/with land: soil seed to take: take upon water many willow to set: make him

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree.

6 and to spring and to be to/for vine to overrun low height to/for to turn branch his to(wards) him and root his underneath: stand him to be and to be to/for vine and to make alone: pole and to send: depart bough

It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

7 and to be eagle one great: large great: large wing and many plumage and behold [the] vine [the] this to hunger root her upon him and branch his to send: depart to/for him to/for to water: watering [obj] her from bed plantation her

'"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and look, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

8 to(wards) land: soil pleasant to(wards) water many he/she/it to transplant to/for to make branch and to/for to lift: bear fruit to/for to be to/for vine clothing

It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."'

9 to say thus to say Lord YHWH/God to prosper not [obj] root her to tear and [obj] fruit her to strip and to wither all fresh-plucked branch her to wither and not in/on/with arm great: large and in/on/with people many to/for to lift: raise [obj] her from root her

"Say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? And not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.

10 and behold to transplant to prosper not like/as to touch in/on/with her spirit: breath [the] east to wither to wither upon bed branch her to wither

Yes, look, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew."'"

11 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

12 to say please to/for house: household [the] rebellion not to know what? these to say behold to come (in): come king Babylon Jerusalem and to take: take [obj] king her and [obj] ruler her and to come (in): bring [obj] them to(wards) him Babylon [to]

"Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Tell them, 'Look, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon:

13 and to take: take from seed: children [the] kingship and to cut: make(covenant) with him covenant and to come (in): bring [obj] him in/on/with oath and [obj] leader [the] land: country/planet to take: take

and he took of the royal family, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;

14 to/for to be kingdom low to/for lest to lift: raise to/for to keep: obey [obj] covenant his to/for to stand: stand her

that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

15 and to rebel in/on/with him to/for to send: depart messenger his Egypt to/for to give: give to/for him horse and people: soldiers many to prosper to escape [the] to make: do these and to break covenant and to escape

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? Shall he escape who does such things? Shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?

16 alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely yes not in/on/with place [the] king [the] to reign [obj] him which to despise [obj] oath his and which to break [obj] covenant his with him in/on/with midst Babylon to die

"'As I live,' says the LORD, 'surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

17 and not in/on/with strength: soldiers great: large and in/on/with assembly many to make: do [obj] him Pharaoh in/on/with battle in/on/with to pour: build siege mound mound and in/on/with to build siegework to/for to cut: eliminate soul: life many

Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.

18 and to despise oath to/for to break covenant and behold to give: give hand: power his and all these to make: do not to escape

For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and look, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.'

19 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God alive I if: surely yes not oath my which to despise and covenant my which to break and to give: pay him in/on/with head his

"Therefore thus says the LORD: 'As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.

20 and to spread upon him net my and to capture in/on/with net my and to come (in): bring him Babylon [to] and to judge with him there unfaithfulness his which be unfaithful in/on/with me

I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.

21 and [obj] all (fugitive his *QK) in/on/with all band his in/on/with sword to fall: kill and [the] to remain to/for all spirit: breath to spread and to know for I LORD to speak: speak

All the choice men among all his troups will fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.'

22 thus to say Lord YHWH/God and to take: take I from treetop [the] cedar [the] to exalt and to give: put from head: top shoot his tender to pluck and to transplant I upon mountain: mount high and be eminent

"Thus says the LORD: 'I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:

23 in/on/with mountain: mount height Israel to transplant him and to lift: bear branch and to make fruit and to be to/for cedar great and to dwell underneath: under him all bird all wing in/on/with shadow branch his to dwell

in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.

24 and to know all tree [the] land: country for I LORD to abase tree high to exult tree low to wither tree fresh and to sprout tree dry I LORD to speak: speak and to make: do

All the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.'"
