Ezekiel 5

1And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם קַח־לְךָ ׀ חֶרֶב חַדָּה תַּעַר הַגַּלָּבִים תִּקָּחֶנָּה לָּךְ וְהַעֲבַרְתָּ עַל־רֹאשְׁךָ וְעַל־זְקָנֶךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ לְךָ מֹאזְנֵי מִשְׁקָל וְחִלַּקְתָּם׃ (5610)

2Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

שְׁלִשִׁית בָּאוּר תַּבְעִיר בְּתֹוךְ הָעִיר כִּמְלֹאת יְמֵי הַמָּצֹור וְלָקַחְתָּ אֶת־הַשְּׁלִשִׁית תַּכֶּה בַחֶרֶב סְבִיבֹותֶיהָ וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית תִּזְרֶה לָרוּחַ וְחֶרֶב אָרִיק אַחֲרֵיהֶם׃ (9356)

3Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

וְלָקַחְתָּ מִשָּׁם מְעַט בְּמִסְפָּר וְצַרְתָּ אֹותָם בִּכְנָפֶיךָ׃ (2750)

4Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

וּמֵהֶם עֹוד תִּקָּח וְהִשְׁלַכְתָּ אֹותָם אֶל־תֹּוךְ הָאֵשׁ וְשָׂרַפְתָּ אֹתָם בָּאֵשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ תֵצֵא־אֵשׁ אֶל־כָּל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (6342)

5Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה זֹאת יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּתֹוךְ הַגֹּויִם שַׂמְתִּיהָ וּסְבִיבֹותֶיהָ אֲרָצֹות׃ (3796)

6And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

וַתֶּמֶר אֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי לְרִשְׁעָה מִן־הַגֹּויִם וְאֶת־חֻקֹּותַי מִן־הָאֲרָצֹות אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותֶיהָ כִּי בְמִשְׁפָּטַי מָאָסוּ וְחֻקֹּותַי לֹא־הָלְכוּ בָהֶם׃ (6211)

7Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר ׀ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן הֲמָנְכֶם מִן־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותֵיכֶם בְּחֻקֹּותַי לֹא הֲלַכְתֶּם וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם וּכְמִשְׁפְּטֵי הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותֵיכֶם לֹא עֲשִׂיתֶם׃ (7127)

8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי עָלַיִךְ גַּם־אָנִי וְעָשִׂיתִי בְתֹוכֵךְ מִשְׁפָּטִים לְעֵינֵי הַגֹּויִם׃ (2763)

9And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

וְעָשִׂיתִי בָךְ אֵת אֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָשִׂיתִי וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר־לֹא־אֶעֱשֶׂה כָמֹהוּ עֹוד יַעַן כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹתָיִךְ׃ (5095)

10Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

לָכֵן אָבֹות יֹאכְלוּ בָנִים בְּתֹוכֵךְ וּבָנִים יֹאכְלוּ אֲבֹותָם וְעָשִׂיתִי בָךְ שְׁפָטִים וְזֵרִיתִי אֶת־כָּל־שְׁאֵרִיתֵךְ לְכָל־רוּחַ׃ (5316)

11Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

לָכֵן חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אִם־לֹא יַעַן אֶת־מִקְדָּשִׁי טִמֵּאת בְּכָל־שִׁקּוּצַיִךְ וּבְכָל־תֹּועֲבֹתָיִךְ וְגַם־אֲנִי אֶגְרַע וְלֹא־תָחֹוס עֵינִי וְגַם־אֲנִי לֹא אֶחְמֹול׃ (4673)

12A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

שְׁלִשִׁתֵיךְ בַּדֶּבֶר יָמוּתוּ וּבָרָעָב יִכְלוּ בְתֹוכֵךְ וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית בַּחֶרֶב יִפְּלוּ סְבִיבֹותָיִךְ וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁית לְכָל־רוּחַ אֱזָרֶה וְחֶרֶב אָרִיק אַחֲרֵיהֶם׃ (6782)

13Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

וְכָלָה אַפִּי וַהֲנִחֹותִי חֲמָתִי בָּם וְהִנֶּחָמְתִּי וְיָדְעוּ כִּי־אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי בְּקִנְאָתִי בְּכַלֹּותִי חֲמָתִי בָּם׃ (4016)

14Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

וְאֶתְּנֵךְ לְחָרְבָּה וּלְחֶרְפָּה בַּגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותָיִךְ לְעֵינֵי כָּל־עֹובֵר׃ (2621)

15So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.

וְהָיְתָה חֶרְפָּה וּגְדוּפָה מוּסָר וּמְשַׁמָּה לַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹותָיִךְ בַּעֲשֹׂותִי בָךְ שְׁפָטִים בְּאַף וּבְחֵמָה וּבְתֹכְחֹות חֵמָה אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי׃ (5611)

16When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

בְּשַׁלְּחִי אֶת־חִצֵּי הָרָעָב הָרָעִים בָּהֶם אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ לְמַשְׁחִית אֲשֶׁר־אֲשַׁלַּח אֹותָם לְשַׁחֶתְכֶם וְרָעָב אֹסֵף עֲלֵיכֶם וְשָׁבַרְתִּי לָכֶם מַטֵּה־לָחֶם׃ (6632)

17So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם רָעָב וְחַיָּה רָעָה וְשִׁכְּלֻךְ וְדֶבֶר וָדָם יַעֲבָר־בָּךְ וְחֶרֶב אָבִיא עָלַיִךְ אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי׃ (3505)
