Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
And you O son of humankind prophesy to [the] mountains of Israel and you will say O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of Yahweh.
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because he has said the enemy on you aha! and [the] high places of antiquity a possession it has become of us.
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
Therefore prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because by cause to desolate and to crush you from round about to be you a possession of [the] rest of the nations and you have been taken up on a lip of a tongue and [the] whispering of [the] people.
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
Therefore O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of [the] Lord Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys and to the waste places desolate and to the cities forsaken which they have become spoil and mockery to [the] rest of the nations which [are] from round about.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if not in [the] fire of jealousy my I have spoken on [the] rest of the nations and on Edom all of it which they made land my - for themselves into a possession with joy of every heart with scorn of self so that pastureland its [becomes] spoil.
Therefore prophesy on [the] land of Israel and you will say to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I in jealousy my and in rage my I have spoken because [the] insult[s] of nations you have borne.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I I lift up hand my if not the nations which to you [are] from round about they insult[s] their they will bear.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
And you O mountains of Israel branch[es] your you will extend and fruit your you will bear for people my Israel for they have brought near to come.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
For here I [am] with you and I will turn to you and you will be tilled and you will be sown.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
And I will multiply on you human[s] all [the] house of Israel all of it and they will be inhabited the cities and the waste places they will be rebuilt.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
And I will multiply on you human[s] and animal[s] and they will increase and they will be fruitful and I will cause to dwell you like former state your and I will do good more than beginnings your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
And I will cause to walk on you human[s] people my Israel and they will dispossess you and you will become of them an inheritance and not you will repeat again to bereave them.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because [people are] saying to you [are] devouring human[s] (you *QK) and bereaving (nations your *QK) you have been.
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
Therefore human[s] not you will devour again (and nations your *QK) not (you will bereave *QK) again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
And not I will make heard to you again [the] insult[s] of the nations and [the] reproach of peoples not you will bear again (and nations your *QK) not you will cause to stumble again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
O son of humankind [the] house of Israel [were] dwelling on own land their and they made unclean it by conduct their and by practices their like [the] uncleanness of menstruation it was conduct their before me.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
And I poured out rage my on them on the blood which they had poured out on the land and by idols their they made unclean it.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
And I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed among the lands according to conduct their and according to practices their I judged them.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
And it came to the nations where they went there and they profaned [the] name of holiness my when said of them [are] [the] people of Yahweh these and from land his they have come out.
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
And I showed pity on [the] name of holiness my which they had profaned it [the] house of Israel among the nations where they had gone there towards.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
Therefore say to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not for sake your I [am] about to act O house of Israel that except for [the] name of holiness my which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone there.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
And I will show holy name my great that has been] profaned among the nations which you have profaned in midst of them and they will know the nations that I [am] Yahweh [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when I show holy myself by you to eyes their.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
And I will take you from the nations and I will gather you from all the lands and I will bring you into own land your.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
And I will sprinkle on you water pure and you will be pure from all uncleanness your and from all idols your I will purify you.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
And I will give to you a heart new and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh your and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
And spirit my I will put in inner being your and I will bring about this: in statutes my you will walk and judgments my you will keep and you will do [them].
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
And you will dwell in the land which I gave to ancestors your and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
And I will save you from all uncleanness your and I will summon the grain and I will increase it and not I will give to you famine.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
And I will increase [the] fruit of the tree and [the] produce of the field so that that not you may receive again [the] reproach of famine among the nations.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
And you will remember ways your evil and deeds your which not [were] good and you will loathe faces your on iniquities your and on abominations your.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Not for sake your I [am] about to act [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh let it be known to you be ashamed and be humiliated from ways your O house of Israel.
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day cleanse I you from all iniquities your and I will cause to be inhabited the cities and they will be rebuilt the waste places.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
And the land desolated it will be tilled in place of that it was a desolation to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
And people will say the land this desolated it has become like [the] garden of Eden and the cities wasted and desolated and broken down [are] fortified they have remained.
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
And they will know the nations which they will be left around you that - I Yahweh I have rebuilt the broken down [cities] I have planted the desolated [places] I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this I will let myself be sought by [the] house of Israel to act for them I will increase them like flock human[s].
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Like sheep of holiness like [the] sheep of Jerusalem at appointed times its so they will be the cities wasted full of flock[s] of human[s] and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
