1. And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
|
1. Moreover the spirit H7307 lifted me up H5375 H853 , and brought H935 me unto H413 the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD H3068 's house H1004 , which looketh H6437 eastward H6921 : and behold H2009 at the door H6607 of the gate H8179 five H2568 and twenty H6242 men H376 ; among H8432 whom I saw H7200 H853 Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of Azur H5809 , and Pelatiah H6410 the son H1121 of Benaiah H1141 , princes H8269 of the people H5971 .
|
|
2. And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
|
2. Then said H559 he unto H413 me, Son H1121 of man H120 , these H428 are the men H376 that devise H2803 mischief H205 , and give H3289 wicked H7451 counsel H6098 in this H2063 city H5892 :
|
|
3. who are saying, It is not near -- to build houses, it is the pot, and we the flesh.
|
3. Which say H559 , It is not H3808 near H7138 ; let us build H1129 houses H1004 : this H1931 city is the caldron H5518 , and we H587 be the flesh H1320 .
|
|
4. Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.`
|
4. Therefore H3651 prophesy H5012 against H5921 them, prophesy H5012 , O son H1121 of man H120 .
|
|
5. And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, `Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
|
5. And the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 fell H5307 upon H5921 me , and said H559 unto H413 me, Speak H559 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Thus H3651 have ye said H559 , O house H1004 of Israel H3478 : for I H589 know H3045 the things that come H4609 into your mind H7307 , every one of them.
|
|
6. Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
|
6. Ye have multiplied H7235 your slain H2491 in this H2063 city H5892 , and ye have filled H4390 the streets H2351 thereof with the slain H2491 .
|
|
7. Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They are the flesh, and it is the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
|
7. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Your slain H2491 whom H834 ye have laid H7760 in the midst H8432 of it, they H1992 are the flesh H1320 , and this H1931 city is the caldron H5518 : but I will bring you forth H3318 H853 out of the midst H4480 H8432 of it.
|
|
8. A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
|
8. Ye have feared H3372 the sword H2719 ; and I will bring H935 a sword H2719 upon H5921 you, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
9. And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.
|
9. And I will bring H3318 you out of the midst H4480 H8432 thereof , and deliver H5414 you into the hands H3027 of strangers H2114 , and will execute H6213 judgments H8201 among you.
|
|
10. By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I am Jehovah.
|
10. Ye shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 ; I will judge H8199 you in H5921 the border H1366 of Israel H3478 ; and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
11. It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.
|
11. This H1931 city shall not H3808 be H1961 your caldron H5518 , neither shall ye H859 be H1961 the flesh H1320 in the midst H8432 thereof; but I will judge H8199 you in H413 the border H1366 of Israel H3478 :
|
|
12. And ye have known that I am Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you -- ye have done!`
|
12. And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 : for H834 ye have not H3808 walked H1980 in my statutes H2706 , neither H3808 executed H6213 my judgments H4941 , but have done H6213 after the manners H4941 of the heathen H1471 that H834 are round about H5439 you.
|
|
13. And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry -- a loud voice -- and say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.`
|
13. And it came to pass H1961 , when I prophesied H5012 , that Pelatiah H6410 the son H1121 of Benaiah H1141 died H4191 . Then fell I down H5307 upon H5921 my face H6440 , and cried H2199 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 , and said H559 , Ah H162 Lord H136 GOD H3069 ! wilt thou H859 make H6213 a full end H3617 H853 of the remnant H7611 of Israel H3478 ?
|
|
14. And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
|
14. Again the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
15. `Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel -- all of it, are they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;
|
15. Son H1121 of man H120 , thy brethren H251 , even thy brethren H251 , the men H376 of thy kindred H1353 , and all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 wholly H3605 , are they unto whom H834 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 have said H559 , Get you far H7368 from H4480 H5921 the LORD H3068 : unto us is this H1931 land H776 given H5414 in possession H4181 .
|
|
16. it is ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.
|
16. Therefore H3651 say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Although H3588 I have cast them far off H7368 among the heathen H1471 , and although H3588 I have scattered H6327 them among the countries H776 , yet will I be H1961 to them as a little H4592 sanctuary H4720 in the countries H776 where H834 H8033 they shall come H935 .
|
|
17. Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.
|
17. Therefore H3651 say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will even gather H6908 you from H4480 the people H5971 , and assemble H622 you out of H4480 the countries H776 where H834 ye have been scattered H6327 , and I will give H5414 you H853 the land H127 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
18. And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations -- out of it.
|
18. And they shall come H935 thither H8033 , and they shall take away H5493 H853 all H3605 the detestable things H8251 thereof and all H3605 the abominations H8441 thereof from H4480 thence.
|
|
19. And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh.
|
19. And I will give H5414 them one H259 heart H3820 , and I will put H5414 a new H2319 spirit H7307 within H7130 you ; and I will take H5493 the stony H68 heart H3820 out of their flesh H4480 H1320 , and will give H5414 them a heart H3820 of flesh H1320 :
|
|
20. So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.
|
20. That H4616 they may walk H1980 in my statutes H2708 , and keep H8104 mine ordinances H4941 , and do H6213 them H853 : and they shall be H1961 my people H5971 , and I H589 will be H1961 their God H430 .
|
|
21. As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.`
|
21. But as for them whose heart H3820 walketh H1980 after H413 the heart H3820 of their detestable things H8251 and their abominations H8441 , I will recompense H5414 their way H1870 upon their own heads H7218 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
22. And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels are over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel is over them above.
|
22. Then did the cherubims H3742 lift up H5375 H853 their wings H3671 , and the wheels H212 beside H5980 them ; and the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 was over H5921 them above H4480 H4605 .
|
|
23. And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that is on the east of the city.
|
23. And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 went up H5927 from H4480 H5921 the midst H8432 of the city H5892 , and stood H5975 upon H5921 the mountain H2022 which H834 is on the east side H4480 H6924 of the city H5892 .
|
|
24. And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;
|
24. Afterwards the spirit H7307 took me up H5375 , and brought H935 me in a vision H4758 by the Spirit H7307 of God H430 into Chaldea H3778 , to H413 them of the captivity H1473 . So the vision H4758 that H834 I had seen H7200 went up H5927 from H4480 H5921 me.
|
|
25. and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
|
25. Then I spoke H1696 unto H413 them of the captivity H1473 H853 all H3605 the things H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 had showed H7200 me.
