| 21 1 | The word of Yahweh came to me: | The sword of the LORD. Eze.21.1-17 | וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 2 | "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries; prophesy against the land of Israel | בֶּן־אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְהַטֵּף אֶל־מִקְדָּשִׁים וְהִנָּבֵא אֶל־אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 3 | and say to the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you both righteous and wicked. | וְאָמַרְתָּ לְאַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי אֵלַיִךְ וְהֹוצֵאתִי חַרְבִּי מִתַּעְרָהּ וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֵּךְ צַדִּיק וְרָשָׁע׃ | |
| 4 | Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north; | יַעַן אֲשֶׁר־הִכְרַתִּי מִמֵּךְ צַדִּיק וְרָשָׁע לָכֵן תֵּצֵא חַרְבִּי מִתַּעְרָהּ אֶל־כָּל־בָּשָׂר מִנֶּגֶב צָפֹון׃ | |
| 5 | and all flesh shall know that I Yahweh have drawn my sword out of its sheath; it shall not be sheathed again. | וְיָדְעוּ כָּל־בָּשָׂר כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה הֹוצֵאתִי חַרְבִּי מִתַּעְרָהּ לֹא תָשׁוּב עֹוד׃ ס | |
| 6 | Sigh therefore, son of man; sigh with breaking heart and bitter grief before their eyes. | וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם הֵאָנַח בְּשִׁבְרֹון מָתְנַיִם וּבִמְרִירוּת תֵּאָנַח לְעֵינֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 7 | And when they say to you, 'Why do you sigh?' you shall say, 'Because of the tidings. When it comes, every heart will melt and all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will be fulfilled,'"says Yahweh GOD. | וְהָיָה כִּי־יֹאמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ עַל־מָה אַתָּה נֶאֱנָח וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־שְׁמוּעָה כִי־בָאָה וְנָמֵס כָּל־לֵב וְרָפוּ כָל־יָדַיִם וְכִהֲתָה כָל־רוּחַ וְכָל־בִּרְכַּיִם תֵּלַכְנָה מַּיִם הִנֵּה בָאָה וְנִהְיָתָה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ ף | |
| 8 | And the word of Yahweh came to me: | וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ | |
| 9 | "Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says Yahweh, Say: A sword, a sword is sharpened | בֶּן־אָדָם הִנָּבֵא וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי אֱמֹר חֶרֶב חֶרֶב הוּחַדָּה וְגַם־מְרוּטָה׃ | |
| 10 | sharpened for slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Or do we make mirth? You have despised the rod, my son, with everything of wood. | לְמַעַן טְבֹחַ טֶבַח הוּחַדָּה לְמַעַן־הֱיֵה־לָהּ בָּרָק מֹרָטָּה אֹו נָשִׂישׂ שֵׁבֶט בְּנִי מֹאֶסֶת כָּל־עֵץ׃ | |
| 11 | So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be handled; it is sharpened and polished to be given into the hand of the slayer. | וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָהּ לְמָרְטָה לִתְפֹּשׂ בַּכָּף הִיא־הוּחַדָּה חֶרֶב וְהִיא מֹרָטָּה לָתֵת אֹותָהּ בְּיַד־הֹורֵג׃ | |
| 12 | Cry and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all the princes of Israel; they are delivered over to the sword with my people. Smite therefore upon your thigh. | זְעַק וְהֵילֵל בֶּן־אָדָם כִּי־הִיא הָיתָה בְעַמִּי הִיא בְּכָל־נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מְגוּרֵי אֶל־חֶרֶב הָיוּ אֶת־עַמִּי לָכֵן סְפֹק אֶל־יָרֵךְ׃ | |
| 13 | For it will not be a testing - what could it do if you despise the rod?" says Yahweh GOD. | כִּי בֹחַן וּמָה אִם־גַּם־שֵׁבֶט מֹאֶסֶת לֹא יִהְיֶה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ ף | |
| 14 | "Prophesy therefore, son of man; clap your hands and let the sword come down twice, yea thrice, the sword for those to be slain; it is the sword for the great slaughter, which encompasses them, | וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם הִנָּבֵא וְהַךְ כַּף אֶל־כָּף וְתִכָּפֵל חֶרֶב שְׁלִישִׁתָה חֶרֶב חֲלָלִים הִיא חֶרֶב חָלָל הַגָּדֹול הַחֹדֶרֶת לָהֶם׃ | |
| 15 | that their hearts may melt, and many fall at all their gates. I have given the glittering sword; ah! it is made like lightning, it is polished for slaughter. | לְמַעַן לָמוּג לֵב וְהַרְבֵּה הַמִּכְשֹׁלִים עַל כָּל־שַׁעֲרֵיהֶם נָתַתִּי אִבְחַת־חָרֶב אָח עֲשׂוּיָה לְבָרָק מְעֻטָּה לְטָבַח׃ | |
| 16 | Cut sharply to right and left where your edge is directed. | הִתְאַחֲדִי הֵימִנִי הָשִׂימִי הַשְׂמִילִי אָנָה פָּנַיִךְ מֻעָדֹות׃ | |
| 17 | I also will clap my hands, and I will satisfy my fury; I Yahweh have spoken." | וְגַם־אֲנִי אַכֶּה כַפִּי אֶל־כַּפִּי וַהֲנִחֹתִי חֲמָתִי אֲנִי יְהוָה דִּבַּרְתִּי׃ ף | |
