Ezekiel 12

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 “You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.

O son of humankind in [the] midst of [the] house of rebellion you [are] dwelling whom eyes [belong] to them to see and not they see ears [belong] to them to hear and not they hear for [are] a house of rebellion they.

3 Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].

And you O son of humankind prepare for yourself baggage of exile and go into exile by day to eyes their and you will go into exile from place your to a place another to eyes their perhaps they will see for [are] a house of rebellion they.

4 During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.

And you will bring out baggage your like baggage of exile by day to eyes their and you you will go out in the evening to eyes their like goings out of exile.

5 Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.

To eyes their dig yourself in the wall and you will bring out in it.

6 Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”

To eyes their on a shoulder you will lift [it] up in the darkness you will bring [it] out face your you will cover and not you will see the land for a sign I have made you to [the] house of Israel.

7 [So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.

And I did so just as I was commanded baggage my I brought out like baggage of exile by day and in the evening I dug myself in the wall by hand in the darkness I brought [it] out on a shoulder I lifted [it] up to eyes their.

8 The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me in the morning saying.

9 “You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’

O son of humankind ¿ not have they said to you [the] house of Israel [the] house of rebellion what? [are] you doing.

10 [So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’

Say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [is] the prince the oracle this in Jerusalem and all [the] house of Israel who they [are] in midst of them.

11 Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.

Say I [am] sign your just as I have done so it will be done to them in exile in captivity they will go.

12 Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.

And the prince who [is] in midst of them to a shoulder he will lift up in the darkness so he may go out in the wall they will dig to bring out in it face his he will cover because that not he will see to the eye he the land.

13 [it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.

And I will spread net my over him and he will be caught in hunting net my and I will bring him Babylon towards [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and it not he will see and there he will die.

14 I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.

And all [those] who [are] around him (help his *Qk) and all troops his I will disperse to every wind and a sword I will draw after them.

15 Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when scatter I them among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

16 But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

And I will leave over some of them people of number from [the] sword from [the] famine and from [the] pestilence so that they may recount all abominations their among the nations where they have gone there and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

17 Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

18 “You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.

O son of humankind food your in quaking you will eat and water your in trembling and in anxiety you will drink.

19 Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.

And you will say to [the] people of the land thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem concerning [the] land of Israel food their in anxiety they will eat and water their in horror they will drink so that it may be desolate land its from fullness its from [the] violence of all the inhabitants in it.

20 The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”

And the cities inhabited they will be waste and the land a desolation it will become and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

21 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

22 “You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’

O son of humankind what? [is] the proverb this to you on [the] land of Israel saying they are long the days and it perishes every vision.

23 So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.

Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I will make to cease the proverb this and not people will use as a proverb it again in Israel that except speak to them they have drawn near the days and [the] matter of every vision.

24 No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.

For not it will be again any vision of worthlessness and divination of flattery in [the] midst of [the] house of Israel.

25 Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”

For - I Yahweh I will speak which I will speak a word so it may be done not it will be postponed again for in days your O house of rebellion I will speak a word and I will do it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

26 Yahweh also gave me this message:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

27 “You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’

O son of humankind there! [the] house of Israel [are] saying the vision which he [is] seeing [is] of days many and of times distant he [is] prophesying.

28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”

Therefore say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not it will be postponed again all words my [that] which I will speak a word so it may be done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
