1 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר | 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
2 וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם הֲתִשְׁפֹּט הֲתִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־עִיר הַדָּמִים וְהֹודַעְתָּהּ אֵת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹותֶיהָ | 2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. |
3 וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה עִיר שֹׁפֶכֶת דָּם בְּתֹוכָהּ לָבֹוא עִתָּהּ וְעָשְׂתָה גִלּוּלִים עָלֶיהָ לְטָמְאָה | 3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself. |
4 בְּדָמֵךְ אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפַכְתְּ אָשַׁמְתְּ וּבְגִלּוּלַיִךְ אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂית טָמֵאת וַתַּקְרִיבִי יָמַיִךְ וַתָּבֹוא עַד־שְׁנֹותָיִךְ עַל־כֵּן נְתַתִּיךְ חֶרְפָּה לַגֹּויִם וְקַלָּסָה לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות | 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries. |
5 הַקְּרֹבֹות וְהָרְחֹקֹות מִמֵּךְ יִתְקַלְּסוּ־בָךְ טְמֵאַת הַשֵּׁם רַבַּת הַמְּהוּמָה | 5 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed. |
6 הִנֵּה נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ לִזְרֹעֹו הָיוּ בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם | 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. |
7 אָב וָאֵם הֵקַלּוּ בָךְ לַגֵּר עָשׂוּ בַעֹשֶׁק בְּתֹוכֵךְ יָתֹום וְאַלְמָנָה הֹונוּ בָךְ | 7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow. |
8 קָדָשַׁי בָּזִית וְאֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי חִלָּלְתְּ | 8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. |
9 אַנְשֵׁי רָכִיל הָיוּ בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם וְאֶל־הֶהָרִים אָכְלוּ בָךְ זִמָּה עָשׂוּ בְתֹוכֵךְ | 9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. |
10 עֶרְוַת־אָב גִּלָּה־בָךְ טְמֵאַת הַנִּדָּה עִנּוּ־בָךְ | 10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. |
11 וְאִישׁ ׀ אֶת־אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ עָשָׂה תֹּועֵבָה וְאִישׁ אֶת־כַּלָּתֹו טִמֵּא בְזִמָּה וְאִישׁ אֶת־אֲחֹתֹו בַת־אָבִיו עִנָּה־בָךְ | 11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. |
12 שֹׁחַד לָקְחוּ־בָךְ לְמַעַן שְׁפָךְ־דָּם נֶשֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּית לָקַחַתְּ וַתְּבַצְּעִי רֵעַיִךְ בַּעֹשֶׁק וְאֹתִי שָׁכַחַתְּ נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה | 12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD. |
13 וְהִנֵּה הִכֵּיתִי כַפִּי אֶל־בִּצְעֵךְ אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂית וְעַל־דָּמֵךְ אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּתֹוכֵךְ | 13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee. |
14 הֲיַעֲמֹד לִבֵּךְ אִם־תֶּחֱזַקְנָה יָדַיִךְ לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אֹותָךְ אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי וְעָשִׂיתִי | 14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it. |
15 וַהֲפִיצֹותִי אֹותָךְ בַּגֹּויִם וְזֵרִיתִיךְ בָּאֲרָצֹות וַהֲתִמֹּתִי טֻמְאָתֵךְ מִמֵּךְ | 15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. |
16 וְנִחַלְתְּ בָּךְ לְעֵינֵי גֹויִם וְיָדַעַתְּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ פ | 16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. |
17 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר | 17 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
18 בֶּן־אָדָם הָיוּ־לִי בֵית־יִשְׂרָאֵל [לְסוּג כ] (לְסִיג ק) כֻּלָּם נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְדִיל וּבַרְזֶל וְעֹופֶרֶת בְּתֹוךְ כּוּר סִגִים כֶּסֶף הָיוּ׃ ס | 18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver. |
19 לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן הֱיֹות כֻּלְּכֶם לְסִגִים לָכֵן הִנְנִי קֹבֵץ אֶתְכֶם אֶל־תֹּוךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם | 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. |
20 קְבֻצַת כֶּסֶף וּנְחֹשֶׁת וּבַרְזֶל וְעֹופֶרֶת וּבְדִיל אֶל־תֹּוךְ כּוּר לָפַחַת־עָלָיו אֵשׁ לְהַנְתִּיךְ כֵּן אֶקְבֹּץ בְּאַפִּי וּבַחֲמָתִי וְהִנַּחְתִּי וְהִתַּכְתִּי אֶתְכֶם | 20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you. |
21 וְכִנַּסְתִּי אֶתְכֶם וְנָפַחְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם בְּאֵשׁ עֶבְרָתִי וְנִתַּכְתֶּם בְּתֹוכָהּ | 21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof. |
22 כְּהִתּוּךְ כֶּסֶף בְּתֹוךְ כּוּר כֵּן תֻּתְּכוּ בְתֹוכָהּ וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה שָׁפַכְתִּי חֲמָתִי עֲלֵיכֶם׃ פ | 22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you. |
23 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר | 23 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
24 בֶּן־אָדָם אֱמָר־לָהּ אַתְּ אֶרֶץ לֹא מְטֹהָרָה הִיא לֹא גֻשְׁמָהּ בְּיֹום זָעַם | 24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. |
25 קֶשֶׁר נְבִיאֶיהָ בְּתֹוכָהּ כַּאֲרִי שֹׁואֵג טֹרֵף טָרֶף נֶפֶשׁ אָכָלוּ חֹסֶן וִיקָר יִקָּחוּ אַלְמְנֹותֶיהָ הִרְבּוּ בְתֹוכָהּ | 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. |
26 כֹּהֲנֶיהָ חָמְסוּ תֹורָתִי וַיְחַלְּלוּ קָדָשַׁי בֵּין־קֹדֶשׁ לְחֹל לֹא הִבְדִּילוּ וּבֵין־הַטָּמֵא לְטָהֹור לֹא הֹודִיעוּ וּמִשַׁבְּתֹותַי הֶעְלִימוּ עֵינֵיהֶם וָאֵחַל בְּתֹוכָם | 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. |
27 שָׂרֶיהָ בְקִרְבָּהּ כִּזְאֵבִים טֹרְפֵי טָרֶף לִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם לְאַבֵּד נְפָשֹׁות לְמַעַן בְּצֹעַ בָּצַע | 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. |
28 וּנְבִיאֶיהָ טָחוּ לָהֶם תָּפֵל חֹזִים שָׁוְא וְקֹסְמִים לָהֶם כָּזָב אֹמְרִים כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וַיהוָה לֹא דִבֵּר | 28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. |
29 עַם הָאָרֶץ עָשְׁקוּ עֹשֶׁק וְגָזְלוּ גָּזֵל וְעָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון הֹונוּ וְאֶת־הַגֵּר עָשְׁקוּ בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט | 29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. |
30 וָאֲבַקֵּשׁ מֵהֶם אִישׁ גֹּדֵר־גָּדֵר וְעֹמֵד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנַי בְּעַד הָאָרֶץ לְבִלְתִּי שַׁחֲתָהּ וְלֹא מָצָאתִי | 30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. |
31 וָאֶשְׁפֹּךְ עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמִי בְּאֵשׁ עֶבְרָתִי כִּלִּיתִים דַּרְכָּם בְּרֹאשָׁם נָתַתִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה׃ פ | 31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. |
