Ezequiel 12
Young's Literal Translation
1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
2'Son of man, in the midst of the rebellious house thou art dwelling, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; ears they have to hear, and they have not heard; for a rebellious house [are] they.
3And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they [are].
4And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
5Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou hast brought forth by it.
6Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to the house of Israel.'
7And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes.
8And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning, saying,
9'Son of man, have they not said unto thee — the house of Israel — the rebellious house — What art thou doing?
10say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'The prince [is] this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
11Say: I [am] your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go.
12As to the prince who [is] in their midst, on the shoulder he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
13And I have spread My net for him, and he hath been caught in My snare, and I have brought him in to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and it he doth not see — and there doth he die.
14'And all who are round about him to help him, and all his bands, I do scatter to every wind, and a sword I draw out after them.
15And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
16and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, and they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
17And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
18'Son of man, thy bread in haste thou dost eat, and thy water with trembling and with fear thou dost drink;
19and thou hast said unto the people of the land, Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: Their bread with fear they do eat, and their water with astonishment drink, because its land is desolate, because of its fulness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
20And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
21And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
22'Son of man, what [is] this simile to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, Prolonged are the days, and perished hath every vision?
23therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision.
24For there is no more any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel.
25For I [am] Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak — it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
26And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
27'Son of man, lo, the house of Israel are saying, The vision that he is seeing [is] for many days, and of times far off he is prophesying,
28therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: None of my words are prolonged any more, When I speak a word — it is done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
2Hijo del hombre, tú habitas en medio de casa rebelde, los cuales tienen ojos para ver, y no ven, tienen oídos para oir, y no oyen; porque son casa rebelde.
3Por tanto tú, hijo del hombre, hazte aparejos de marcha, y pártete de día delante de sus ojos; y te pasarás de tu lugar á otro lugar á vista de ellos, por si tal vez atienden, porque son casa rebelde.
4Y sacarás tus aparejos, como aparejos de partida, de día delante de sus ojos: mas tú saldrás por la tarde á vista de ellos, como quien sale para partirse.
5Delante de sus ojos horadarás la pared, y saldrás por ella.
6Delante de sus ojos los llevarás sobre tus hombros, de noche los sacarás; cubrirás tu rostro, y no mirarás la tierra: porque en señal te he dado á la casa de Israel.
7Y yo hice así como me fué mandado: saqué mis aparejos de día, como aparejos de partida, y á la tarde horadé la pared á mano; salí de noche, y llevélos sobre los hombros á vista de ellos.
8Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová por la mañana, diciendo:
9Hijo del hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, aquella casa rebelde: ¿Qué haces?
10Diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Al príncipe en Jerusalem es esta carga, y á toda la casa de Israel que está en medio de ellos.
11Diles: Yo soy vuestra señal: como yo hice, así les harán á ellos: al pasar á otro país irán en cautiverio.
12Y al príncipe que está en medio de ellos llevarán á cuestas de noche, y saldrán; horadarán la pared para sacarlo por ella; cubrirá su rostro para no ver con sus ojos la tierra.
13Mas yo extenderé mi red sobre él, y será preso en mi malla, y harélo llevar á Babilonia, á tierra de Caldeos; mas no la verá, y allá morirá.
14Y á todos los que estuvieren alrededor de él para su ayuda, y á todas sus compañías esparciré á todo viento, y desenvainaré espada en pos de ellos.
15Y sabrán que yo soy Jehová, cuando los esparciere entre las gentes, y los derramare por la tierra.
16Y haré que de ellos queden pocos en número, del cuchillo, y del hambre, y de la pestilencia, para que cuenten todas sus abominaciones entre las gentes adonde llegaren; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
17Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
18Hijo del hombre, come tu pan con temblor, y bebe tu agua con estremecimiento y con anhelo;
19Y dirás al pueblo de la tierra: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová sobre los moradores de Jerusalem, y sobre la tierra de Israel: Su pan comerán con temor, y con espanto beberán su agua; porque su tierra será asolada de su multitud, por la maldad de todos los que en ella moran.
20Y las ciudades habitadas serán asoladas, y la tierra será desierta; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
21Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
22Hijo del hombre, ¿qué refrán es este que tenéis vosotros en la tierra de Israel, diciendo: Prolongarse han los días, y perecerá toda visión?
23Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Haré cesar este refrán, y no repetirán más este dicho en Israel. Diles pues: Se han acercado aquellos días, y la palabra de toda visión.
24Porque no habrá más alguna visión vana, ni habrá adivinación de lisonjeros en medio de la casa de Israel.
25Porque yo Jehová hablaré; cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré; no se dilatará más: antes en vuestros días, oh casa rebelde, hablaré palabra, y cumpliréla, dice el Señor Jehová.
26Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
27Hijo del hombre, he aquí que los de la casa de Israel dicen: La visión que éste ve es para muchos días, y para lejanos tiempos profetiza éste.
28Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: No se dilatarán más todas mis palabras: cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré, dice el Señor Jehová.
King James Version
1The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
19And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
21And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
22Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
26Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
28Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
World English Bible
1The LORD’s word also came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.
3“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.
5Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.
6In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.”
7I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9“Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’
10“Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.”’
11“Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.
12“‘The prince who is among them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.
13I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.
14I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.
15“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
17Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.
19Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.
20The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
21The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
22“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?
23Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
24For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25For I am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
26Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
27“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’
28“Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
