21 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

18 The word of Yahweh came to me again:The sword of the king of Babylonia. Eze.21.18-27וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃
19 "Son of man, mark two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; both of them shall come forth from the same land. And make a signpost, make it at the head of the way to a city; וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם שִׂים־לְךָ שְׁנַיִם דְּרָכִים לָבֹוא חֶרֶב מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל מֵאֶרֶץ אֶחָד יֵצְאוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם וְיָד בָּרֵא בְּרֹאשׁ דֶּרֶךְ־עִיר בָּרֵא׃
20 mark a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the Ammonites and to Judah and to Jerusalem the fortified. דֶּרֶךְ תָּשִׂים לָבֹוא חֶרֶב אֵת רַבַּת בְּנֵי־עַמֹּון וְאֶת־יְהוּדָה בִירוּשָׁלִַם בְּצוּרָה׃
21 For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shakes the arrows, he consults the teraphim, he looks at the liver. כִּי־עָמַד מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל אֶל־אֵם הַדֶּרֶךְ בְּרֹאשׁ שְׁנֵי הַדְּרָכִים לִקְסָם־קָסֶם קִלְקַל בַּחִצִּים שָׁאַל בַּתְּרָפִים רָאָה בַּכָּבֵד׃
22 Into his right hand comes the lot for Jerusalem, to open the mouth with a cry, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build siege towers. בִּימִינֹו הָיָה הַקֶּסֶם יְרוּשָׁלִַם לָשׂוּם כָּרִים לִפְתֹּחַ פֶּה בְּרֶצַח לְהָרִים קֹול בִּתְרוּעָה לָשׂוּם כָּרִים עַל־שְׁעָרִים לִשְׁפֹּךְ סֹלְלָה לִבְנֹות דָּיֵק׃
23 But to them it will seem like a false divination; they have sworn solemn oaths; but he brings their guilt to remembrance, that they may be captured. וְהָיָה לָהֶם {כ= כִּקְסֹום} {ק= כִּקְסָם}־שָׁוְא בְּעֵינֵיהֶם שְׁבֻעֵי שְׁבֻעֹות לָהֶם וְהוּא־מַזְכִּיר עָוֹן לְהִתָּפֵשׂ׃ ף
24 "Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear - because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in them. לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן הַזְכַּרְכֶם עֲוֹנְכֶם בְּהִגָּלֹות פִּשְׁעֵיכֶם לְהֵרָאֹות חַטֹּאותֵיכֶם בְּכֹל עֲלִילֹותֵיכֶם יַעַן הִזָּכֶרְכֶם בַּכַּף תִּתָּפֵשׂוּ׃ ף
25 And you, O unhallowed wicked one, prince of Israel, whose day has come, the time of your final punishment, וְאַתָּה חָלָל רָשָׁע נְשִׂיא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־בָּא יֹומֹו בְּעֵת עֲוֹן קֵץ׃ ס
26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; things shall not remain as they are; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הָסִיר הַמִּצְנֶפֶת וְהָרִים הָעֲטָרָה זֹאת לֹא־זֹאת הַשָּׁפָלָה הַגְבֵּהַ וְהַגָּבֹהַ הַשְׁפִּיל׃
27 A ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it; there shall not be even a trace of it until he comes whose right it is; and to him I will give it. עַוָּה עַוָּה עַוָּה אֲשִׂימֶנָּה גַּם־זֹאת לֹא הָיָה עַד־בֹּא אֲשֶׁר־לֹו הַמִּשְׁפָּט וּנְתַתִּיו׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages,
and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages.
Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole,
with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
