| 17 1 | The word of Yahweh came to me: | Parable of the eagles & the vine. Eze.17.1-10 | וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 2 | "Son of man, propound a riddle, and speak an allegory to the house of Israel; | בֶּן־אָדָם חוּד חִידָה וּמְשֹׁל מָשָׁל אֶל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 3 | say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, rich in plumage of many colours, came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar; | וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה
מָלֵא הַנֹּוצָה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו הָרִקְמָה בָּא אֶל־הַלְּבָנֹון וַיִּקַּח אֶת־צַמֶּרֶת הָאָרֶז׃ | |
| 4 | he broke off the topmost of its young twigs and carried it to a land of trade, and set it in a city of merchants. | אֵת רֹאשׁ יְנִיקֹותָיו קָטָף וַיְבִיאֵהוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן בְּעִיר רֹכְלִים שָׂמֹו׃ | |
| 5 | Then he took of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil; he placed it beside abundant waters. He set it like a willow twig, | וַיִּקַּח מִזֶּרַע הָאָרֶץ וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ בִּשְׂדֵה־זָרַע קָח עַל־מַיִם רַבִּים צַפְצָפָה שָׂמֹו׃ | |
| 6 | and it sprouted and became a low spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine, and brought forth branches and put forth foliage. | וַיִּצְמַח וַיְהִי לְגֶפֶן סֹרַחַת שִׁפְלַת קֹומָה לִפְנֹות דָּלִיֹּותָיו אֵלָיו וְשָׁרָשָׁיו תַּחְתָּיו יִהְיוּ וַתְּהִי לְגֶפֶן וַתַּעַשׂ בַּדִּים וַתְּשַׁלַּח פֹּארֹות׃ | |
| 7 | "But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him that he might water it. From the bed where it was planted | וַיְהִי נֶשֶׁר־אֶחָד גָּדֹול גְּדֹול כְּנָפַיִם וְרַב־נֹוצָה וְהִנֵּה הַגֶּפֶן הַזֹּאת כָּפְנָה שָׁרֳשֶׁיהָ עָלָיו וְדָלִיֹּותָיו שִׁלְחָה־לֹּו לְהַשְׁקֹות אֹותָהּ מֵעֲרֻגֹות מַטָּעָהּ׃ | |
| 8 | he transplanted it to good soil by abundant waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble vine. | אֶל־שָׂדֶה טֹּוב אֶל־מַיִם רַבִּים הִיא שְׁתוּלָה לַעֲשֹׂות עָנָף וְלָשֵׂאת פֶּרִי לִהְיֹות לְגֶפֶן אַדָּרֶת׃ ס | |
| 9 | Say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its branches, so that all its fresh sprouting leaves wither? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it from its roots. | אֱמֹר כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהֹוִה תִּצְלָח
וְיָבֵשׁ כָּל־טַרְפֵּי צִמְחָהּ תִּיבָשׁ וְלֹא־בִזְרֹעַ גְּדֹולָה וּבְעַם־רָב לְמַשְׂאֹות אֹותָהּ מִשָּׁרָשֶׁיהָ׃ | |
| 10 | Behold, when it is transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not utterly wither when the east wind strikes it - wither away on the bed where it grew?" | וְהִנֵּה שְׁתוּלָה הֲתִצְלָח הֲלֹוא כְגַעַת בָּהּ רוּחַ הַקָּדִים תִּיבַשׁ יָבֹשׁ עַל־עֲרֻגֹת צִמְחָהּ תִּיבָשׁ׃ ף | |
