| [1]וַתִּשָּׂא אֹתִי רוּחַ וַתָּבֵא אֹתִי אֶל־שַׁעַר בֵּית־יְהוָה הַקַּדְמֹונִי הַפֹּונֶה קָדִימָה וְהִנֵּה בְּפֶתַח הַשַּׁעַר עֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה אִישׁ וָאֶרְאֶה בְתֹוכָם אֶת־יַאֲזַנְיָה בֶן־עַזֻּר וְאֶת־פְּלַטְיָהוּ בֶן־בְּנָיָהוּ שָׂרֵי הָעָם׃ |
[1]Moreover, the sprit lift me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which lieth eastward, and behold, at the entry of the gate were five and twenty men: among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the princes of the people. |
| [2]וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָי בֶּן־אָדָם אֵלֶּה הָאֲנָשִׁים הַחֹשְׁבִים אָוֶן וְהַיֹּעֲצִים עֲצַת־רָע בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת׃ |
[2]Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that imagine mischief, and devise wicked counsel in this city. |
| [3]הָאֹמְרִים לֹא בְקָרֹוב בְּנֹות בָּתִּים הִיא הַסִּיר וַאֲנַחְנוּ הַבָּשָׂר׃ |
[3]For they say, It is not near let us build houses: this city is the cauldron, and we be the flesh. |
| [4]לָכֵן הִנָּבֵא עֲלֵיהֶם הִנָּבֵא בֶּן־אָדָם׃ |
[4]Therefore prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy. |
| [5]וַתִּפֹּל עָלַי רוּחַ יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי אֱמֹר כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה כֵּן אֲמַרְתֶּם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמַעֲלֹות רוּחֲכֶם אֲנִי יְדַעְתִּיהָ׃ |
[5]And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this have ye said, and I know that which riseth up of your minds. |
| [6]הִרְבֵּיתֶם חַלְלֵיכֶם בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וּמִלֵּאתֶם חוּצֹתֶיהָ חָלָל׃ |
[6]Many have ye murdered in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. |
| [7]לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה חַלְלֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתֶּם בְּתֹוכָהּ הֵמָּה הַבָּשָׂר וְהִיא הַסִּיר וְאֶתְכֶם הֹוצִיא מִתֹּוכָהּ׃ |
[7]Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye have slain, and have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the cauldron, but I will bring you forth of the midst of it. |
| [8]חֶרֶב יְרֵאתֶם וְחֶרֶב אָבִיא עֲלֵיכֶם נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ |
[8]Ye have feared the sword, and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God. |
| [9]וְהֹוצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מִתֹּוכָהּ וְנָתַתִּי אֶתְכֶם בְּיַד־זָרִים וְעָשִׂיתִי בָכֶם שְׁפָטִים׃ |
[9]And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. |
| [10]בַּחֶרֶב תִּפֹּלוּ עַל־גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶשְׁפֹּוט אֶתְכֶם וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ |
[10]Ye shall fall by the sword, and I will judge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. |
| [11]הִיא לֹא־תִהְיֶה לָכֶם לְסִיר וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ בְתֹוכָהּ לְבָשָׂר אֶל־גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶשְׁפֹּט אֶתְכֶם׃ |
[11]This city shall not be your cauldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof, but I will judge you in the border of Israel. |
| [12]וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בְּחֻקַּי לֹא הֲלַכְתֶּם וּמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם וּכְמִשְׁפְּטֵי הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותֵיכֶם עֲשִׂיתֶם׃ |
[12]And ye shall know that I am the Lord: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen, that are round about you. |
| [13]וַיְהִי כְּהִנָּבְאִי וּפְלַטְיָהוּ בֶן־בְּנָיָה מֵת וָאֶפֹּל עַל־פָּנַי וָאֶזְעַק קֹול־גָּדֹול וָאֹמַר אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כָּלָה אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה אֵת שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[13]And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died: then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then utterly destroy all the remnant of Israel? |
| [14]וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
[14]Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, |
| [15]בֶּן־אָדָם אַחֶיךָ אַחֶיךָ אַנְשֵׁי גְאֻלָּתֶךָ וְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלֹּה אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ לָהֶם יֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם רַחֲקוּ מֵעַל יְהוָה לָנוּ הִיא נִתְּנָה הָאָרֶץ לְמֹורָשָׁה׃ |
[15]Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholly are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Depart ye far from the Lord: for the land is given us in possession. |
| [16]לָכֵן אֱמֹר כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה כִּי הִרְחַקְתִּים בַּגֹּויִם וְכִי הֲפִיצֹותִים בָּאֲרָצֹות וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמִקְדָּשׁ מְעַט בָּאֲרָצֹות אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ שָׁם׃ |
[16]Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. |
| [17]לָכֵן אֱמֹר כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָעַמִּים וְאָסַפְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן־הָאֲרָצֹות אֲשֶׁר נְפֹצֹותֶם בָּהֶם וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
[17]Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you again from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. |
| [18]וּבָאוּ־שָׁמָּה וְהֵסִירוּ אֶת־כָּל־שִׁקּוּצֶיהָ וְאֶת־כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹותֶיהָ מִמֶּנָּה׃ |
[18]And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idols thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence. |
| [19]וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד וְרוּחַ חֲדָשָׁה אֶתֵּן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וַהֲסִרֹתִי לֵב הָאֶבֶן מִבְּשָׂרָם וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם לֵב בָּשָׂר׃ |
[19]And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stony heart out of their bodies, and will give them an heart of flesh, |
| [20]לְמַעַן בְּחֻקֹּתַי יֵלֵכוּ וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי יִשְׁמְרוּ וְעָשׂוּ אֹתָם וְהָיוּ־לִי לְעָם וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים׃ |
[20]That they may walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. |
| [21]וְאֶל־לֵב שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶם וְתֹועֲבֹותֵיהֶם לִבָּם הֹלֵךְ דַּרְכָּם בְּרֹאשָׁם נָתַתִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ |
[21]But upon them, whose heart is toward their idols, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God. |
| [22]וַיִּשְׂאוּ הַכְּרוּבִים אֶת־כַּנְפֵיהֶם וְהָאֹופַנִּים לְעֻמָּתָם וּכְבֹוד אֱלֹהֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲלֵיהֶם מִלְמָעְלָה׃ |
[22]Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels besides them, and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them on high. |
| [23]וַיַּעַל כְּבֹוד יְהוָה מֵעַל תֹּוךְ הָעִיר וַיַּעֲמֹד עַל־הָהָר אֲשֶׁר מִקֶּדֶם לָעִיר׃ |
[23]And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is toward the east side of the city. |
| [24]וְרוּחַ נְשָׂאַתְנִי וַתְּבִיאֵנִי כַשְׂדִּימָה אֶל־הַגֹּולָה בַּמַּרְאֶה בְּרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַל מֵעָלַי הַמַּרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי׃ |
[24]Afterward the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea to them that were led away captives: so the vision that I had seen, went up from me. |
| [25]וָאֲדַבֵּר אֶל־הַגֹּולָה אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הֶרְאָנִי׃ |
[25]Then I declared unto them that were led away captives, all the things that the Lord had showed me. |
