1 He amar (said) to me, “ban (son) of adam (man), akal (eat) that which you matzaa (find). Akal (eat) this scroll, and yalak (go), dabar (word / matter) to the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel).”
2 So I pathach (opened) my pah (mouth), and he caused me to akal (eat) the scroll.
3 He amar (said) to me, “ban (son) of adam (man), cause your batan (belly) to akal (eat), and malaa (fill) your maih (bowels) with this scroll that I nathan (give) you.” Then I akal (eat) it; and it was as mathawaq (sweet) as dabash (honey) in my pah (mouth).
4 He amar (said) to me, “ban (son) of adam (man), yalak (go) to the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel), and dabar (word / matter) my dabar (word / matter) to them.
5 For you are not shalach (send) to a im (nation / people) of a imaq (strange) shapah (speech) and of a kabad (hard) lashawan (tongue / language), but to the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel);
6 Not to many imayam (peoples) of a imaq (strange) shapah (speech) and of a kabad (hard) lashawan (tongue / language), whose dabar (word / matter) you can not shamai (hearken / hear). Surely, if I shalach (send) you to them, they would shamai (hearken / hear) to you.
7 But the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel) abah (be willing / desire) not shamai (hearken / hear) to you; for they abah (be willing / desire) not shamai (hearken / hear) to me: for all the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel) are obstinate and qashah (rough / hard).
8 Behold, I nathan (give) made your panayam (face) hard imah (against) their panayam (face), and your matzach (forehead) hard imah (against) their matzach (foreheads).
9 As an shamayar (adamant) chazaq (harder) than tzar (flint) nathan (give) I made your matzach (forehead): don't be yaraa (fear / be afraid) of them, neither be chathath (dismayed) at their panayam (face), though they are a rebellious bayath (house).”
10 Moreover he amar (said) to me, “ban (son) of adam (man), all my dabar (word / matter) that I shall dabar (word / matter) to you laqach (take / seize) in your labab (heart), and shamai (hearken / hear) with your azan (ear).
11 Yalak (go) to them of the gawalah (captivity), to the banay (children) of your im (nation / people), and dabar (word / matter) to them, and amar (spoke) them, ‘Thus amar (spoke) the Adanay () Yahawah ();’ whether they will shamai (hearken / hear), or whether they will chadal (forbear).
12 Then the rawach (spirit / wind) nashaa (lift) me up, and I shamai (hearken / hear) achar (other) me the qawal (sound / voice) of a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) raish (rushing), saying, “barak (blessed) be the kabawad (glory) of Yahawah () from his maqawam (place).”
13 I heard the qawal (sound / voice) of the kanapay (wings) of the chay (life) creatures as they nashaq (touched) ayashah (woman / wife) achawath (another), and the qawal (sound / voice) of the awapanayam (wheels) imah (beside) them, even the qawal (sound / voice) of a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) raish (rushing).
14 So the rawach (spirit / wind) nashaa (lift) me up, and laqach (take / seize) me away; and I yalak (went) in bitterness, in the chamah (heat) of my rawach (spirit / wind); and the yad (hand) of Yahawah () was chazaq (strong) on me.
15 Then I bawaa (bring) to them of the gawalah (captivity) at Thalaabayab (Tel Aviv), that lived by the nahar (river) Kabar (Chebar), and to where they lived; and I yashab (inhabit/dwell) there overwhelmed thawak (midst) them shabai (seven) yamayam (days).
16 It happened at the qatzah (end / extremity / border) of shabai (seven) yamayam (days), that the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () came to me, amar (spoke),
17 “Ban (son) of adam (man), I nathan (give) made you a tzapah (watchman / keep watch) to the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel): therefore shamai (hearken / hear) the dabar (word / matter) from my pah (mouth), and give them zahar (warn) from me.
18 When I amar (said) the rashai (wicked), ‘You shall mawath (death) mawath (death);’ and you give him no zahar (warn), nor dabar (word / matter) to zahar (warn) the rashai (wicked) from his rashai (wicked) darak (way), to chayah (save) his life; the same rashai (wicked) mawath (death) shall die in his iwan (guilt/iniquity); but his dam (blood) will I baqash (require) at your yad (hand).
19 Yet if you zahar (warn) the rashai (wicked), and he doesn't shawab (turn) from his rashai (wickedness), nor from his rashai (wicked) darak (way), he shall mawath (death) in his iwan (guilt/iniquity); but you have natzal (delivered) your napash (soul).”
20 “Again, when a tzadayaq (righteous) man does shawab (turn) from his tzadaq (righteous / just / fair), and ishah (make) iwal (iniquity), and I nathan (give) a makashawal (stumbling) block panayam (face) him, he shall mawath (death): because you have not given him zahar (warn), he shall mawath (death) in his chataah (sin), and his tzadaqah (righteousness) deeds which he ishah (make) done shall not be zakar (remember); but his dam (blood) will I baqash (require) at your yad (hand).
21 Nevertheless if you zahar (warn) the tzadayaq (righteous) man, that the tzadayaq (righteous) not chataa (sin), and he does not chataa (sin), he shall chayah (surely) chayah (live), because he took zahar (warn); and you have natzal (delivered) your napash (soul).”
22 The yad (hand) of Yahawah () was there on me; and he amar (spoke) to me, “qawam (rise up), yatzaa (go out / come out) forth into the baqaih (plain), and I will there dabar (word / matter) with you.”
23 Then I qawam (rise up), and yatzaa (go out / come out) forth into the baqaih (plain): and behold, the kabawad (glory) of Yahawah () imad (stood) there, as the kabawad (glory) which I raah (see) by the nahar (river) Kabar (Chebar); and I napal (fall / be cast down) on my panayam (face).
24 Then the rawach (spirit / wind) bawaa (bring) into me, and imad (set) me on my ragal (feet / foot); and he dabar (word / matter) with me, and amar (said) to me, “bawaa (bring), sagar (shut) yourself inside your bayath (house).
25 But you, ban (son) of adam (man), behold, they shall nathan (give) ibawathayam (bands) on you, and shall asar (bind) you with them, and you shall not yatzaa (go out / come out) out thawak (midst) them:
26 And I will make your lashawan (tongue / language) dabaq (stick) to the roof of your chak (mouth), that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious bayath (house).
27 But when I dabar (word / matter) with you, I will pathach (open) your pah (mouth), and you shall amar (spoke) them, ‘Thus amar (spoke) the Adanay () Yahawah ():’ He who shamai (hearken / hear), shamai (hearken / hear) him hear; and he who chadal (forbears), chadal (let) him forbear: for they are a rebellious bayath (house).”
