1Então o Espírito me levantou, e me trouxe à porta oriental da Casa do SENHOR, que está voltada para o oriente; e eis que estavam à entrada da porta vinte e cinco homens; e no meio deles vi a Jazanias filho de Azur, e a Pelatias filho de Benaías, príncipes do povo. 2E disse-me: Filho do homem, estes são os homens que tramam perversidade, e dão mau conselho nesta cidade; 3Os quais dizem: Não está perto o tempo de edificar casas; esta cidade é a caldeira, e nós a carne. 4Por isso profetiza contra eles; profetiza, ó filho do homem. 5E caiu sobre mim o Espírito do SENHOR, e disse-me: Dize: Assim diz o SENHOR: Assim vós dizeis, ó casa de Israel; porque eu sei todas as coisas que sobem a vosso espírito. 6Multiplicastes vossos mortos nesta cidade, e enchestes suas ruas de mortos. 7Portanto, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Vossos mortos que deitastes no meio dela, esses são a carne, e ela é a caldeira; porém eu vos tirarei do meio dela. 8Temestes a espada, e a espada trarei sobre vós, diz o Senhor DEUS. 9E vos tirarei do meio dela, e vos entregarei nas mãos de estrangeiros; e eu farei julgamentos entre vós. 10Pela espada caireis; na fronteira de Israel vos julgarei, e sabereis que eu sou o SENHOR. 11Esta cidade não vos servirá de caldeira, nem sereis vós a carne no meio dela; na fronteira de Israel eu vos julgarei. 12E sabereis que eu sou o SENHOR; pois vós não andastes em meus estatutos, nem fizestes meus juízos; em vez disso fizestes conforme os juízos das nações que estão ao redor de vós. 13E aconteceu que, enquanto eu estava profetizando, Pelatias filho de Benaías faleceu. Então caí sobre meu rosto, clamei com alta voz, e disse: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Consumirás tu o resto de Israel? 14Então veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo: 15Filho do homem, teus irmãos, são teus irmãos, os homens de teu parentesco e toda a casa de Israel, ela toda são a quem os moradores de Jerusalém disseram: Afastai-vos do SENHOR; a terra é dada a nós em possessão. 16Por isso dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ainda que os tenha lançado longe entre as nações, e tenha os dispersado pelas terras, contudo por um pouco tempo eu lhes serei por santuário nas terras para onde vieram. 17Por isso dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eu vos ajuntarei dos povos, e vos recolherei das terras as quais fostes dispersos, e vos darei a terra de Israel. 18E virão para lá, e tirarão dela todas suas coisas detestáveis e todas as suas abominações. 19E lhes darei um mesmo coração, e um espírito novo darei em suas entranhas; e tirarei o coração de pedra de sua carne, e lhes darei coração de carne; 20Para que andem em meus estatutos e guardem meus juízos e os pratiquem; e eles serão meu povo, e eu serei seu Deus. 21Mas quanto a aqueles cujo coração anda conforme o desejo de suas coisas detestáveis e de suas abominações, eu retribuirei seu caminho sobre suas cabeças, diz o Senhor DEUS. 22Depois os querubins levantaram suas asas, e as rodas ao lado deles; e a glória do Deus de Israel estava por cima deles. 23E a glória do SENHOR subiu do meio da cidade, e se pôs sobre o monte que está ao oriente da cidade. 24Depois o Espírito me levantou, e levou-me à Caldeia, aos do cativeiro, em visão do Espírito de Deus. E a visão que vi foi embora acima de mim. 25E falei aos do cativeiro todas as palavras do SENHOR que ele havia me mostrado.
1Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 2He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city; 3who say, The time is not near to build houses: this is the cauldron, and we are the meat. 4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man. 5The Spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Yahweh: Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. 6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain. 7Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you shall be brought out of its midst. 8You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says the Lord Yahweh. 9I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 10You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 11This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel; 12and you shall know that I am Yahweh: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you. 13When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?” 14Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 15“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.’” 16Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come. 17Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. 18They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there. 19I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh; 20that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, says the Lord Yahweh. 22Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 23Yahweh’s glory went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city. 24The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. 25Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Yahweh had shown me.
1Toen hief mij de Geest op, en bracht mij tot de Oostpoort van het huis des HEEREN, dewelke ziet oostwaarts; en ziet, aan de deur der poort waren vijf en twintig mannen, en in het midden van hen zag ik Jaazanja, den zoon van Azzur, en Pelatja, den zoon van Benaja, vorsten des volks. 2En Hij zeide tot mij: Mensenkind, deze zijn de mannen, die ongerechtigheid bedenken, en die kwaden raad raden in deze stad. 3Die zeggen: Men moet geen huizen nabij bouwen; deze stad zou de pot, en wij het vlees zijn. 4Daarom profeteer tegen hen; profeteer, o mensenkind! 5Zo viel dan de Geest des HEEREN op mij, en Hij zeide tot mij: Zeg: Zo zegt de HEERE: Alzo zegt gijlieden o huis Israels! want Ik weet elkeen der dingen, die in uw geest opklimmen. 6Gij hebt uw verslagenen in deze stad vermenigvuldigd, en gij hebt derzelver straten met de verslagenen vervuld. 7Daarom, zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Uw verslagenen, die gij in het midden derzelve nedergelegd hebt, die zijn dat vlees, en deze stad is de pot; maar ulieden zal Ik uit het midden derzelve doen uitgaan. 8Gijlieden hebt het zwaard gevreesd; en het zwaard zal Ik over u brengen, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 9Ook zal Ik ulieden uit het midden derzelve doen uitgaan, en Ik zal u overgeven in de hand der vreemden; en Ik zal recht onder u doen. 10Gij zult door het zwaard vallen; in de landpale Israels zal Ik u richten, en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 11Deze stad zal ulieden niet tot een pot zijn, en gij zult in het midden derzelve niet tot vlees zijn; in de landpale Israels zal Ik u richten. 12En gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, omdat gij in Mijn inzettingen niet gewandeld, en Mijn rechten niet gedaan hebt, maar naar de rechten der heidenen, die rondom u zijn, gedaan hebt. 13Het geschiedde nu, als ik profeteerde, dat Pelatja, de zoon van Benaja, stierf. Toen viel ik neder op mijn aangezicht, en riep met luider stem; en zeide: Ach, Heere HEERE! zult Gij gans een voleinding maken met het overblijfsel van Israel? 14Toen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot mij, zeggende: 15Mensenkind, het zijn uw broederen, uw broederen, de mannen uwer maagschap, en het ganse huis Israels, ja, dat ganse, tot welke de inwoners van Jeruzalem gezegd hebben: Maakt u verre af van den HEERE, ditzelve land is ons tot een erfbezitting gegeven. 16Daarom zeg: Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Hoewel Ik hen verre onder de heidenen weggedaan heb, en hoewel Ik hen in de landen verstrooid heb, nochtans zal Ik hun een weinig tijds tot een heiligdom zijn, in de landen, waarin zij gekomen zijn. 17Daarom zeg: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ja, Ik zal ulieden vergaderen uit de volken, en Ik zal u verzamelen uit de landen, waarin gij verstrooid zijt, en Ik zal u het land Israels geven. 18En zij zullen daarhenen komen, en al deszelfs verfoeiselen en al deszelfs gruwelen van daar wegdoen. 19En Ik zal hun enerlei hart geven, en zal een nieuwen geest in het binnenste van u geven; en Ik zal het stenen hart uit hun vlees wegnemen, en zal hun een vlesen hart geven; 20Opdat zij wandelen in Mijn inzettingen, en Mijn rechten bewaren, en dezelve doen; en zij zullen Mij tot een volk zijn, en Ik zal hun tot een God zijn. 21Maar welker hart het hart hunner verfoeiselen en hunner gruwelen nawandelt, derzelver weg zal Ik op hun hoofd geven, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 22Toen hieven de cherubs hun vleugelen op, en de raderen tegenover hen; en de heerlijkheid des Gods van Israel was over hen van boven. 23En de heerlijkheid des HEEREN rees op van het midden der stad, en stond op den berg, die tegen het oosten der stad is. 24Daarna nam mij de Geest op, en bracht mij in gezicht door den Geest Gods in Chaldea tot de gevankelijk weggevoerden; en het gezicht, dat ik gezien had, voer van mij op. 25En ik sprak tot de gevankelijk weggevoerden al de woorden des HEEREN, die Hij mij had doen zien.
