1 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

1 וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2 You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end is come on the four corners of the land.

2 וְאַתָּ֣ה בֶן־אָדָ֗ם כֹּה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֧י יְהוִ֛ה לְאַדְמַ֥ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל קֵ֑ץ בָּ֣א הַקֵּ֔ץ עַל־ אַרְבַּעַת אַרְבַּ֖ע כַּנְפֹ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃

3 Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

3 עַתָּה֙ הַקֵּ֣ץ עָלַ֔יִךְ וְשִׁלַּחְתִּ֤י אַפִּי֙ בָּ֔ךְ וּשְׁפַטְתִּ֖יךְ כִּדְרָכָ֑יִךְ וְנָתַתִּ֣י עָלַ֔יִךְ אֵ֖ת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹתָֽיִךְ׃

4 My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

4 וְלֹא־תָחֹ֥וס עֵינִ֛י עָלַ֖יִךְ וְלֹ֣א אֶחְמֹ֑ול כִּ֣י דְרָכַ֜יִךְ עָלַ֣יִךְ אֶתֵּ֗ן וְתֹועֲבֹותַ֙יִךְ֙ בְּתֹוכֵ֣ךְ תִּֽהְיֶ֔יןָ וִידַעְתֶּ֖ם כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.

5 כֹּ֥ה אָמַ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה רָעָ֛ה אַחַ֥ת רָעָ֖ה הִנֵּ֥ה בָאָֽה׃

6 An end is come, the end is come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.

6 קֵ֣ץ בָּ֔א בָּ֥א הַקֵּ֖ץ הֵקִ֣יץ אֵלָ֑יִךְ הִנֵּ֖ה בָּאָֽה׃

7 Your doom is come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, on the mountains.

7 בָּ֧אָה הַצְּפִירָ֛ה אֵלֶ֖יךָ יֹושֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ בָּ֣א הָעֵ֗ת קָרֹ֛וב הַיֹּ֥ום מְהוּמָ֖ה וְלֹא־הֵ֥ד הָרִֽים׃

8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

8 עַתָּ֣ה מִקָּרֹ֗וב אֶשְׁפֹּ֤וךְ חֲמָתִי֙ עָלַ֔יִךְ וְכִלֵּיתִ֤י אַפִּי֙ בָּ֔ךְ וּשְׁפַטְתִּ֖יךְ כִּדְרָכָ֑יִךְ וְנָתַתִּ֣י עָלַ֔יִךְ אֵ֖ת כָּל־תֹּועֲבֹותָֽיִךְ׃

9 My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.

9 וְלֹא־תָחֹ֥וס עֵינִ֖י וְלֹ֣א אֶחְמֹ֑ול כִּדְרָכַ֜יִךְ עָלַ֣יִךְ אֶתֵּ֗ן וְתֹועֲבֹותַ֙יִךְ֙ בְּתֹוכֵ֣ךְ תִּֽהְיֶ֔יןָ וִֽידַעְתֶּ֕ם כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה מַכֶּֽה׃

10 Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

10 הִנֵּ֥ה הַיֹּ֖ום הִנֵּ֣ה בָאָ֑ה יָֽצְאָה֙ הַצְּפִרָ֔ה צָ֚ץ הַמַּטֶּ֔ה פָּרַ֖ח הַזָּדֹֽון׃

11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them.

11 הֶחָמָ֥ס׀ קָ֖ם לְמַטֵּה־רֶ֑שַׁע לֹא־מֵהֶ֞ם וְלֹ֧א מֵהֲמֹונָ֛ם וְלֹ֥א מֶהֱמֵהֶ֖ם וְלֹא־נֹ֥הַּ בָּהֶֽם׃

12 The time is come, the day draws near: don't let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all the multitude of it.

12 בָּ֤א הָעֵת֙ הִגִּ֣יעַ הַיֹּ֔ום הַקֹּונֶה֙ אַל־יִשְׂמָ֔ח וְהַמֹּוכֵ֖ר אַל־יִתְאַבָּ֑ל כִּ֥י חָרֹ֖ון אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָֽהּ׃

13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

13 כִּ֣י הַמֹּוכֵ֗ר אֶל־הַמִּמְכָּר֙ לֹ֣א יָשׁ֔וּב וְעֹ֥וד בַּחַיִּ֖ים חַיָּתָ֑ם כִּֽי־חָזֹ֤ון אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָהּ֙ לֹ֣א יָשׁ֔וּב וְאִ֧ישׁ בַּעֲוֹנֹ֛ו חַיָּתֹ֖ו לֹ֥א יִתְחַזָּֽקוּ׃

14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all the multitude of it.

14 תָּקְע֤וּ בַתָּקֹ֙ועַ֙ וְהָכִ֣ין הַכֹּ֔ל וְאֵ֥ין הֹלֵ֖ךְ לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּ֥י חֲרֹונִ֖י אֶל־כָּל־הֲמֹונָֽהּ׃

15 The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

15 הַחֶ֣רֶב בַּח֔וּץ וְהַדֶּ֥בֶר וְהָרָעָ֖ב מִבָּ֑יִת אֲשֶׁ֤ר בַּשָּׂדֶה֙ בַּחֶ֣רֶב יָמ֔וּת וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעִ֔יר רָעָ֥ב וָדֶ֖בֶר יֹאכֲלֶֽנּוּ׃

16 But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

16 וּפָֽלְטוּ֙ פְּלִ֣יטֵיהֶ֔ם וְהָי֣וּ אֶל־הֶהָרִ֗ים כְּיֹונֵ֧י הַגֵּאָיֹ֛ות כֻּלָּ֖ם הֹמֹ֑ות אִ֖ישׁ בַּעֲוֹנֹֽו׃

17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.

17 כָּל־הַיָּדַ֖יִם תִּרְפֶּ֑ינָה וְכָל־בִּרְכַּ֖יִם תֵּלַ֥כְנָה מָּֽיִם׃

18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

18 וְחָגְר֣וּ שַׂקִּ֔ים וְכִסְּתָ֥ה אֹותָ֖ם פַּלָּצ֑וּת וְאֶ֤ל כָּל־פָּנִים֙ בּוּשָׁ֔ה וּבְכָל־רָאשֵׁיהֶ֖ם קָרְחָֽה׃

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

19 כַּסְפָּ֞ם בַּחוּצֹ֣ות יַשְׁלִ֗יכוּ וּזְהָבָם֮ לְנִדָּ֣ה יִֽהְיֶה֒ כַּסְפָּ֨ם וּזְהָבָ֜ם לֹֽא־יוּכַ֣ל לְהַצִּילָ֗ם בְּיֹום֙ עֶבְרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה נַפְשָׁם֙ לֹ֣א יְשַׂבֵּ֔עוּ וּמֵעֵיהֶ֖ם לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּ֑אוּ כִּֽי־מִכְשֹׁ֥ול עֲוֹנָ֖ם הָיָֽה׃

20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations [and] their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as an unclean thing.

20 וּצְבִ֤י עֶדְיֹו֙ לְגָאֹ֣ון שָׂמָ֔הוּ וְצַלְמֵ֧י תֹועֲבֹתָ֛ם שִׁקּוּצֵיהֶ֖ם עָ֣שׂוּ בֹ֑ו עַל־כֵּ֛ן נְתַתִּ֥יו לָהֶ֖ם לְנִדָּֽה׃

21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.

21 וּנְתַתִּ֤יו בְּיַֽד־הַזָּרִים֙ לָבַ֔ז וּלְרִשְׁעֵ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ לְשָׁלָ֑ל וְחִלְּלֻהָ וְחִלְּלֽוּהוּ׃

22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret [place]; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

22 וַהֲסִבֹּותִ֤י פָנַי֙ מֵהֶ֔ם וְחִלְּל֖וּ אֶת־צְפוּנִ֑י וּבָאוּ־בָ֥הּ פָּרִיצִ֖ים וְחִלְּלֽוּהָ׃

23 Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

23 עֲשֵׂ֖ה הָֽרַתֹּ֑וק כִּ֣י הָאָ֗רֶץ מָֽלְאָה֙ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט דָּמִ֔ים וְהָעִ֖יר מָלְאָ֥ה חָמָֽס׃

24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

24 וְהֵֽבֵאתִי֙ רָעֵ֣י גֹויִ֔ם וְיָרְשׁ֖וּ אֶת־בָּֽתֵּיהֶ֑ם וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי֙ גְּאֹ֣ון עַזִּ֔ים וְנִחֲל֖וּ מְקַֽדְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃

25 Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

25 קְפָ֖דָה־בָ֑א וּבִקְשׁ֥וּ שָׁלֹ֖ום וָאָֽיִן׃

26 Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

26 הֹוָ֤ה עַל־הֹוָה֙ תָּבֹ֔וא וּשְׁמֻעָ֥ה אֶל־שְׁמוּעָ֖ה תִּֽהְיֶ֑ה וּבִקְשׁ֤וּ חָזֹון֙ מִנָּבִ֔יא וְתֹורָה֙ תֹּאבַ֣ד מִכֹּהֵ֔ן וְעֵצָ֖ה מִזְּקֵנִֽים׃

27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

27 הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ יִתְאַבָּ֗ל וְנָשִׂיא֙ יִלְבַּ֣שׁ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וִידֵ֥י עַם־הָאָ֖רֶץ תִּבָּהַ֑לְנָה מִדַּרְכָּ֞ם אֶעֱשֶׂ֤ה אֹותָם֙ וּבְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶ֣ם אֶשְׁפְּטֵ֔ם וְיָדְע֖וּ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
