1La parola del Signore mi fu ancora rivolta in questi termini:2«Figlio d’uomo, tu abiti in mezzo a una casa ribelle che ha occhi per vedere e non vede, orecchi per udire e non ode, perché è una casa ribelle.3Perciò, figlio d’uomo, prepàrati un bagaglio da esiliato e parti di giorno, in loro presenza, come se tu andassi in esilio; parti, in loro presenza, dal luogo dove tu sei, per un altro luogo; forse vi porranno mente, perché sono una casa ribelle.4Metti dunque fuori, di giorno, in loro presenza, il tuo bagaglio, simile a quello di chi va in esilio; poi la sera, esci tu stesso, in loro presenza, come fanno quelli che se ne vanno esuli.5Fa’, in loro presenza, un foro nel muro, e attraverso di esso porta fuori il tuo bagaglio.6Portalo sulle spalle, in loro presenza; portalo fuori quando farà buio; copriti la faccia per non vedere la terra, perché io faccio di te un segno per la casa d’Israele».7Io feci così come mi era stato comandato: portai fuori di giorno il mio bagaglio, bagaglio di esiliato, e sulla sera feci con le mie mani un foro nel muro; quando fu buio portai fuori il bagaglio e me lo misi sulle spalle in loro presenza.8La mattina la parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:9«Figlio d’uomo, la casa d’Israele, questa casa ribelle, non ti ha chiesto: “Che fai?”10Di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Quest’oracolo concerne il principe che è in Gerusalemme e tutta la casa d’Israele di cui essi fanno parte.11Di’: ‘Io sono per voi un segno; come ho fatto io, così sarà fatto a loro: essi andranno in esilio, in schiavitù’.12Il principe che è in mezzo a loro porterà il suo bagaglio sulle spalle quando farà buio, e partirà; si farà un foro nel muro per farlo uscire di là, ed egli si coprirà la faccia per non vedere con i suoi occhi la terra.13Io stenderò su di lui la mia rete, egli sarà preso nel mio laccio; lo deporterò a Babilonia, nella terra dei Caldei, ma egli non la vedrà, e laggiù morrà.14Io disperderò a tutti i venti quelli che lo circondano per aiutarlo, tutti i suoi eserciti, e sguainerò la spada dietro a loro.15Essi conosceranno che io sono il Signore, quando li avrò sparsi fra le nazioni e dispersi nei paesi stranieri.16Ma lascerò di loro alcuni pochi uomini scampati dalla spada, dalla fame e dalla peste, affinché raccontino tutte le loro abominazioni fra le nazioni dove saranno giunti; conosceranno che io sono il Signore”».17La parola del Signore mi fu ancora rivolta, in questi termini:18«Figlio d’uomo, mangia il tuo pane con tremore, bevi la tua acqua con preoccupazione e angoscia;19di’ al popolo del paese: Così parla il Signore, Dio, riguardo agli abitanti di Gerusalemme nella terra d’Israele: “Mangeranno il loro pane con angoscia e berranno la loro acqua con spavento, poiché il loro paese sarà desolato, spogliato di tutto ciò che contiene, a causa della violenza di tutti quelli che lo abitano.20Le città abitate saranno ridotte in rovina e il paese sarà desolato; e voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore”».21La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:22«Figlio d’uomo: che proverbio è questo che voi ripetete nel paese d’Israele quando dite: “Passano i giorni e ogni visione si è dimostrata vana”?23Perciò di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Io farò cessare questo proverbio, non lo si ripeterà più in Israele”; di’ loro, invece: “Si avvicinano i giorni in cui si realizzerà ogni visione;24poiché nessuna visione sarà più vana, né vi sarà più divinazione ingannevole in mezzo alla casa d’Israele.25Io, infatti, sono il Signore; qualunque sia la parola che avrò detta, essa sarà messa ad effetto, e non sarà più rinviata; poiché nei vostri giorni, casa ribelle, io pronuncerò una parola e la metterò a effetto”, dice il Signore, Dio».26La parola del Signore mi fu ancora rivolta in questi termini:27«Figlio d’uomo, ecco, quelli della casa d’Israele dicono: “La visione che ha costui riguarda giorni futuri, egli profetizza per tempi lontani”.28Perciò di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Nessuna delle mie parole sarà più rinviata; la parola che avrò pronunciata sarà messa ad effetto”, dice il Signore, Dio».
Zwei Zeichenhandlungen: Das Gericht der Verschleppung und die Verzweiflung der Belagerten
1Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:2Menschensohn, du wohnst mitten in dem widerspenstigen Haus[1], ⟨bei solchen,⟩ die Augen haben zu sehen und ⟨doch⟩ nicht sehen, die Ohren haben zu hören und ⟨doch⟩ nicht hören; denn ein widerspenstiges Haus[2] sind sie. (De 29,3; Is 44,18; Ger 5,21; Ger 7,26; Ez 3,26; Mar 8,18; Ro 11,10)3Und du, Menschensohn, mach dir Gepäck zur Verbannung ⟨zurecht⟩ und zieh bei Tage vor ihren Augen in die Verbannung aus! Und du sollst vor ihren Augen von deinem Ort zu einem anderen Ort in die Verbannung ausziehen! Vielleicht sehen sie es; denn ein widerspenstiges Haus[3] sind sie. (Ger 7,26; Ger 10,17; Ger 26,3; Ger 27,2; Ez 3,26; Ez 4,1; 2Ti 2,25)4Und trage dein Gepäck wie Gepäck zur Verbannung bei Tage vor ihren Augen hinaus! Und du, ziehe am Abend vor ihren Augen aus, wie man auszieht, um in die Verbannung zu gehen[4]!5Vor ihren Augen durchbrich dir die Mauer, und trage ⟨dein Gepäck⟩ dadurch hinaus!6Vor ihren Augen nimm es auf die Schulter, in Finsternis trage es hinaus! Du sollst dein Gesicht verhüllen, damit du das Land nicht siehst! Denn zu einem Wahrzeichen habe ich dich für das Haus Israel gemacht. – (Ez 4,3; Zac 3,8)7Da tat ich so, wie mir befohlen war. Mein Gepäck trug ich wie Gepäck zur Verbannung bei Tage hinaus, und am Abend durchbrach ich mir die Mauer mit der Hand. In Finsternis trug ich es hinaus, ich nahm es vor ihren Augen auf die Schulter. –8Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir am Morgen:9Menschensohn, hat nicht das Haus Israel, das widerspenstige Haus[5], zu dir gesagt: Was tust du? (Ez 17,12; Ez 24,19)10Sprich zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Den Fürsten in Jerusalem ⟨betrifft⟩ dieser Ausspruch und das ganze Haus Israel, in dessen Mitte sie sind[6]. (Ez 21,30)11Sprich: Ich bin ein Wahrzeichen für euch[7]. Wie ich getan habe, so soll ihnen getan werden: in die Verbannung, in die Gefangenschaft werden sie gehen. (2Re 25,7; Ger 10,17; Ger 52,15; Ez 4,1; Ez 4,3; Zac 3,8)12Und der Fürst, der in ihrer Mitte ist, wird ⟨sein Gepäck⟩ in der Finsternis auf die Schulter nehmen und ausziehen. Sie werden die Mauer durchbrechen, um es durch sie hinauszutragen. Er wird sein Gesicht verhüllen, weil er selbst mit ⟨seinen⟩ Augen das Land nicht sehen will[8]. (Ger 39,4)13Und ich spanne mein Fangnetz über ihm aus, und in meinem Jagdnetz wird er gefangen; und ich bringe ihn nach Babel, ins Land der Chaldäer, aber sehen wird er es nicht; und er wird dort sterben. (Ger 39,7; Ger 52,11; Lam 1,13; Lam 4,20; Ez 17,16; Ez 17,20; Ez 32,3; Os 7,12)14Und alle, die um ihn her sind, seine Helfer und alle seine Scharen, will ich in alle Winde zerstreuen; und hinter ihnen her werde ich das Schwert ziehen. (Ez 5,2; Ez 5,10; Ez 17,21)15Und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin, wenn ich sie unter die Nationen versprenge und sie in die Länder zerstreue. (Ez 5,10)16Und ich werde von ihnen einige Leute übrig lassen vom Schwert, vom Hunger und von der Pest, damit sie alle ihre Gräuel erzählen unter den Nationen, zu denen sie kommen. Dann werden sie erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Sal 59,12; Ez 6,8)17Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:18Menschensohn, dein Brot sollst du mit Beben essen und dein Wasser mit Zittern und in Angst trinken! (Ez 4,10)19Und du sollst zum Volk des Landes sagen: So spricht der Herr, HERR, von den Bewohnern Jerusalems im Land Israel: Ihr Brot werden sie in Angst essen und ihr Wasser mit Entsetzen trinken, weil ihr Land[9] öde daliegt, ohne seine Fülle, wegen der Gewalttat all derer, die in ihm wohnen. (Sal 107,34; Ger 25,11; Ez 7,23; Mi 7,13; Zac 7,14)20Und die bewohnten Städte werden in Trümmern liegen und das Land wird eine Einöde werden. Dann werdet ihr erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Le 26,31; Ger 23,33)
Drohworte an die Verächter von Weissagungen
21Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:22Menschensohn, was ist das für ein Sprichwort, das ihr im Land Israel habt, indem ihr sagt: »Die Tage ziehen sich in die Länge, und jede Vision geht verloren«? (2P 3,4)23Darum sage zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Ich will diesem Sprichwort ein Ende machen, und man soll es nicht mehr als Sprichwort gebrauchen in Israel. Sondern rede zu ihnen: Nahe herbeigekommen sind die Tage und das Wort einer jeden Vision[10]. (Ez 7,6; Gioe 2,1)24Denn es wird nicht länger irgendeine nichtige Vision oder irgendeine schmeichlerische Wahrsagung geben inmitten des Hauses Israel. (Ez 13,23)25Denn ich, der HERR, ich rede; das Wort, das ich rede, wird auch geschehen, es wird sich nicht länger hinziehen. Denn in euren Tagen, widerspenstiges Haus[11], rede ich ein Wort und tue es auch, spricht der Herr, HERR[12]. (Ger 1,11; Ez 7,13; Ap 10,6)26Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:27Menschensohn, siehe, das Haus Israel sagt: Die Vision, die der schaut, ⟨geht⟩ auf viel ⟨spätere⟩ Tage ⟨hinaus⟩; und auf ferne Zeiten hin weissagt er. (Am 6,3)28Darum sage zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Es wird sich nicht länger irgendeines meiner Worte hinziehen; das Wort, das ich rede, wird auch geschehen, spricht der Herr, HERR[13]. (Ger 1,11; Ez 7,13; Ap 10,6)
1The word of the Lord came to me:2“Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. (Is 42,18; Ez 2,1; Ez 2,3; Ez 2,5; Mat 13,13)3As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile’s baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though[1] they are a rebellious house. (Ger 36,3; Ez 4,12; Ez 12,4; Ez 12,7; Ez 21,6; Ez 37,20; Ez 43,11)4You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile, and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile. (2Re 25,4; Ger 39,4; Ger 52,7)5In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it. (Ez 8,8)6In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel.” (Ez 4,3)7And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight. (Ez 12,3; Ez 24,18; Ez 37,7)8In the morning the word of the Lord came to me:9“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’ (Ez 2,1; Ez 2,3; Ez 2,5; Ez 17,12; Ez 24,19; Ez 37,18)10Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: This oracle concerns[2] the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.’[3] (2Cr 36,11; Ez 21,25)11Say, ‘I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.’ (Ez 12,6; Ez 24,24)12And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes. (2Re 25,4; Ez 12,5; Ez 12,6)13And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, and he shall die there. (2Re 25,7; Ger 32,4; Ger 52,11; Ez 17,20; Ez 19,8; Ez 32,3; Os 7,12)14And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. (2Re 25,5; Ez 5,2; Ez 5,10)15And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. (Ez 6,7)16But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the Lord.” (Ez 6,7; Ez 6,8; Ez 14,22)17And the word of the Lord came to me:18“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with anxiety. (Ez 2,1; Ez 4,10)19And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink water in dismay. In this way her land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it. (Ez 4,16; Ez 7,11; Ez 7,23; Ez 32,15; Zac 7,14)20And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” (Ez 6,6)21And the word of the Lord came to me:22“Son of man, what is this proverb that you[4] have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing’? (Ez 11,3; Ez 12,27; Ez 16,44; Ez 18,2; 2P 3,4)23Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.’ But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment[5] of every vision. (Ez 7,7; Ez 7,12)24For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. (Ez 13,6; Ez 13,23)25For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.” (Is 13,22; Is 55,11; Ez 2,3; Ez 2,5)26And the word of the Lord came to me:27“Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ (Ez 12,22; Ez 38,8; Da 8,26; Da 10,14; Am 6,3; 2P 3,4)28Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.” (Ez 12,25)
Ezechiele 12
King James Version
1The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,2Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.3Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.4Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.5Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.6In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.7And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.8And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,9Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?10Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.11Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.12And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.13My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.14And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.15And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.17Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,18Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;19And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.20And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.21And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,22Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.25For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.26Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,27Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come , and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.28Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
