1La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta il nono anno, il decimo mese, il decimo giorno del mese, in questi termini:2«Figlio d’uomo, scriviti la data di questo giorno, di quest’oggi! Oggi stesso il re di Babilonia marcia contro Gerusalemme.3Proponi una parabola a questa casa ribelle e di’ loro: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Metti, metti la pentola sul fuoco e versaci dentro dell’acqua;4raccoglici dentro i pezzi di carne, tutti i buoni pezzi, coscia e spalla; riempila d’ossa scelte.5Prendi il meglio del gregge, ammucchia sotto la pentola la legna per far bollire le ossa; falla bollire molto, affinché anche le ossa che ci sono dentro cuociano”.6Perciò, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Guai alla città sanguinaria, pentola piena di verderame, il cui verderame non si stacca! Vuotala dei pezzi, uno dopo l’altro, senza tirare a sorte!7Poiché il sangue che ha versato è in mezzo a lei; essa lo ha posto sulla roccia nuda, non lo ha sparso in terra per coprirlo di polvere.8Per eccitare il furore, per farne vendetta, ho fatto mettere quel sangue sulla roccia nuda perché non fosse coperto”.9Perciò, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Guai alla città sanguinaria! Anch’io voglio fare un gran fuoco!10Ammucchia la legna, fa’ alzare la fiamma, fa’ cuocere bene la carne, fa’ sciogliere il grasso e fa’ in modo che le ossa si brucino!11Poi metti la pentola vuota sui carboni perché si riscaldi e il suo bronzo diventi rovente, affinché la sua impurità si sciolga in mezzo a essa e il suo verderame sia consumato.12Ogni sforzo è inutile: il suo abbondante verderame non si stacca; il suo verderame non se ne andrà che mediante il fuoco.13C’è della scelleratezza nella tua impurità, perché io ti ho voluto purificare e tu non sei diventata pura; non sarai più purificata della tua impurità, finché io non abbia sfogato su di te il mio furore.14Io, il Signore, ho parlato; la cosa avverrà, io la compirò; non indietreggerò, non avrò pietà, non mi pentirò. Tu sarai giudicata secondo la tua condotta, secondo le tue azioni”, dice il Signore, Dio».15La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:16«Figlio d’uomo, ecco, con un colpo improvviso io ti tolgo la delizia dei tuoi occhi; ma tu non fare lamento, non piangere, non versare lacrime.17Sospira in silenzio; non portare lutto per i morti, copri il capo con il turbante, mettiti i calzari ai piedi, non ti coprire la barba e non mangiare il pane che la gente ti manda».18La mattina parlai al popolo e la sera mia moglie morì. La mattina dopo feci come mi era stato comandato.19Il popolo mi chiedeva: «Non dovrai forse spiegarci che cosa significhi quello che fai?»20E io risposi loro: «La parola del Signore mi è stata rivolta in questi termini:21“Di’ alla casa d’Israele: Così parla il Signore, Dio: ‘Ecco, io profanerò il mio santuario, orgoglio della vostra forza, delizia dei vostri occhi, oggetto di venerazione delle vostre anime; i vostri figli e le vostre figlie che avete lasciati a Gerusalemme cadranno per la spada’”.22Voi farete come ho fatto io: non vi coprirete la barba e non mangerete il pane che la gente vi manda;23avrete i vostri turbanti in capo, i vostri calzari ai piedi; non farete lamento e non piangerete, ma vi consumerete nelle vostre iniquità e gemerete l’uno con l’altro.24“Ezechiele sarà per voi un simbolo: tutto quello che fa lui, lo farete voi; quando queste cose accadranno voi conoscerete che io sono il Signore, Dio”».25«Tu, figlio d’uomo, il giorno che io toglierò loro ciò che fa la loro forza, la gioia della loro gloria, il desiderio dei loro occhi, la brama dell’anima loro, i loro figli e le loro figlie,26in quel giorno un fuggiasco verrà da te a recartene la notizia.27In quel giorno la tua bocca si aprirà, all’arrivo del fuggiasco; tu parlerai, non sarai più muto, e sarai per loro un simbolo; essi conosceranno che io sono il Signore».
1Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir im neunten Jahr, im zehnten Monat, am Zehnten des Monats: (Ez 8,1; Zac 8,19)2Menschensohn, schreibe dir den Namen des Tages auf, ebendieses Tages! An ebendiesem Tag wirft sich der König von Babel ⟨mit seinem Heer⟩ auf Jerusalem. (2Re 25,1; Ger 39,1)3Und rede ein Gleichnis zu dem widerspenstigen Haus, und sage zu ihnen: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Setze den Topf auf, setze ⟨ihn⟩ auf, und gieße auch Wasser hinein! (Ger 1,13; Ez 2,2; Ez 11,3; Ez 17,2)4Lege seine ⟨Fleisch⟩stücke zusammen hinein, lauter gute Stücke, Lende und Schulter; auserlesene Knochen fülle ein!5Nimm auserlesene Schafe, und schichte auch ringsherum die Holzstücke[1] darunter; lass seine ⟨Fleisch⟩stücke sieden[2]; auch seine Knochen sollen darin kochen! –6Darum, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Wehe, Stadt der Blutschuld! Topf, an dem sein Rost ist und dessen Rost nicht von ihm abgeht! Stück für Stück leere ihn aus, ohne dass darüber das Los gefallen ist.[3] (Ger 2,22; Ez 11,7; Ez 22,2; Na 3,1)7Denn ihr Blut[4] ist in ihrer Mitte; sie hat es auf den kahlen Felsen getan, sie hat es nicht auf die Erde gegossen, dass man es mit Staub bedecken könnte. (Le 17,13; Ez 23,45)8Um Zorn heraufzuführen, um Rache zu üben, habe ich ihr Blut auf den kahlen Felsen getan, damit es nicht bedeckt wird. – (2Re 24,4; Is 26,21)9Darum, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Wehe, Stadt der Blutschuld! Auch ich werde den Holzstoß groß machen. (Ez 21,2; Ez 22,2; Na 3,1)10Häufe das Holz, zünde das Feuer an, koche das Fleisch gar, und schütte die Brühe weg[5], und die Knochen sollen angebrannt werden!11Und stelle ihn leer auf seine Kohlen, damit seine Bronze heiß wird und glüht und seine Unreinheit in ihm schmilzt, sein Rost abgeht! (Ez 22,15)12Vergebliche Mühe![6] Sein vieler Rost geht nicht von ihm ab. Ins Feuer mit seinem Rost![7] – (Ger 6,29; Ger 13,27; Ap 2,21)13Wegen deiner schändlichen[8] Unreinheit, weil ich dich reinigte, du aber nicht rein wurdest, so wirst du ⟨nun⟩ von deiner Unreinheit nicht mehr rein werden, bis ich meinen Grimm an dir gestillt habe. (Ger 6,29; Ger 13,27; Ez 5,13; Ap 2,21)14Ich, der HERR, habe geredet. Es kommt, und ich tue es; ich lasse nicht nach; ich bin ⟨deinetwegen⟩ nicht betrübt[9] und lasse es mich nicht gereuen. Nach deinen Wegen und nach deinen Taten richte ich[10] dich, spricht der Herr, HERR[11]. (1Sam 15,29; Ger 13,14; Ez 5,11; Ez 7,3; Ez 17,24; Ez 30,9)
Der Tod von Hesekiels Frau: Keine Trauer über Jerusalem
15Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:16Menschensohn, siehe, ich nehme die in deinen Augen Begehrenswerte[12] von dir weg durch plötzlichen Tod[13]. Du aber sollst nicht klagen und nicht weinen, und keine Träne soll dir kommen.17Stöhne bewegungslos, Totenklage stell nicht an; binde dir deinen Kopfbund um, und zieh deine Schuhe an deine Füße! Deinen Bart sollst du nicht verhüllen und Brot der Trauer[14] nicht essen! (Le 10,6; 2Sam 15,30; Ger 16,5; Mi 3,7)18Und ich redete zum Volk am Morgen, und am Abend starb meine Frau. Und ich tat am Morgen, wie mir befohlen war.19Da sprach das Volk zu mir: Willst du uns nicht mitteilen, was uns das bedeuten soll, dass du ⟨so⟩ handelst? (Ez 12,9; Ez 37,18)20Da sagte ich zu ihnen: Das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:21Sage zum Haus Israel: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Siehe, ich entweihe mein Heiligtum, den Stolz eurer Macht[15], das in euren Augen Begehrenswerte[16] und das Verlangen eurer Seele. Und eure Söhne und eure Töchter, die ihr zurückgelassen habt, werden durchs Schwert fallen. (1Re 9,7; Sal 84,3; Lam 2,1; Ez 7,22; Ez 23,47)22Dann werdet ihr tun, wie ich getan habe: den Bart werdet ihr nicht verhüllen und Brot der Trauer[17] nicht essen,23und eure Kopfbunde werden auf euren Köpfen ⟨bleiben⟩ und eure Schuhe an euren Füßen. Ihr werdet nicht klagen und nicht weinen, sondern werdet dahinschwinden in euren[18] Sünden und seufzen einer zum andern hin. (Sal 78,64; Ez 4,17; Ez 33,10)24So wird Hesekiel für euch zum Wahrzeichen werden; nach allem, was er getan hat, werdet ihr tun. Wenn es kommt, dann werdet ihr erkennen, dass ich der Herr, HERR, bin. (Ez 4,3)25Und du, Menschensohn, siehe, an dem Tag, da ich ihre Zuflucht[19] wegnehme von ihnen, die Freude ihrer Pracht, das in ihren Augen Begehrenswerte[20] und die Sehnsucht ihrer Seelen, ihre Söhne und ihre Töchter;26an jenem Tag wird ein Entkommener zu dir kommen, um es deine Ohren vernehmen zu lassen.27An jenem Tag wird dein Mund geöffnet werden vor dem Entkommenen, und du wirst reden und nicht mehr stumm sein. So sollst du ihnen zu einem Wahrzeichen werden; und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Ger 49,1; Ez 3,27; Ez 4,3; Ez 21,33; Ez 33,22; Am 1,13; So 2,8)
1In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: (Ez 20,1)2“Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. (Ez 2,1)3And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: “Set on the pot, set it on; pour in water also; (2Re 4,38; Ez 2,5; Ez 11,3; Ez 11,7; Ez 11,11; Ez 17,2; Ez 20,49)4put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones. (1Sam 9,24)5Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs[1] under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it.6“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.[2] (Ez 22,2; Ez 24,3; Na 3,1)7For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. (Le 17,13; De 12,16; De 12,24; Ez 26,4; Ez 26,14)8To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.9Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. (Is 30,33)10Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices,[3] and let the bones be burned up.11Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. (Ez 22,15)12She has wearied herself with toil;[4] its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! (Ger 2,22)13On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you. (Is 22,14; Ez 5,13)14I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.” (Nu 23,19; 1Sam 15,29; Ez 5,11; Ez 17,24; Ez 20,43; Ez 23,45)
Ezekiel’s Wife Dies
15The word of the Lord came to me:16“Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. (Ez 2,1)17Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.” (Le 10,6; 2Sam 15,30; Is 20,2; Ger 16,5; Os 9,4)18So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded. (Ez 12,7; Ez 24,16; Ez 37,7)19And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?” (Ez 12,9)20Then I said to them, “The word of the Lord came to me:21‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword. (2Cr 36,17; Ger 7,14; Ez 7,21; Ez 23,47)22And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. (Ez 12,11; Ez 24,17)23Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another. (Ez 4,17; Ez 24,22)24Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord God.’ (Ez 4,3; Ez 6,7; Ez 24,22; Ez 24,27)25“As for you, son of man, surely on the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes and their soul’s desire, and also their sons and daughters, (Ez 2,1; Ez 24,21)26on that day a fugitive will come to you to report to you the news. (Ez 33,21)27On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.” (Ez 3,26; Ez 4,3; Ez 6,7; Ez 24,24; Ez 29,21)
Ezechiele 24
King James Version
1Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.3And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:4Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.5Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.6Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.7For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;8That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.9Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.10Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.11Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.12She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.13In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.14I the LORD have spoken it : it shall come to pass, and I will do it ; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.15Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,16Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.17Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.18So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.19And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so ?20Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,21Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.22And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.23And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.24Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.25Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,26That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?27In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
