1: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] in [G1722] the [G3588] year [G2094] the [G3588] seventh [G1442], in [G1722] the [G3588] fifth [G3991] month [G3376], tenth [G1181] of the [G3588] month [G3376], there came [G2064] men from [G1537] the [G3588] elders [G4245] of the [G3588] house [G3624] of Israel to ask of [G1905] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962]. And [G2532] they sat down [G2523] before [G4253] my face [G4383][G1473].
2: And [G2532] came [G1096] word [G3056] [of the] Boss '[G2962] to [G4314] me [G1473], saying [G3004],
3: O son [G5207] of man , speak [G2980] to [G4314] the [G3588] elders [G4245] of the [G3588] Israel! and [G2532] you will say [G2046] to [G4314] them [G1473], Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962]; Are [G1487] to ask [G1905] me [G1473] you [G1473] come [G2064]? As I live [G2198][G1473], I will not [G1487] be answering to you [G1473], says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962].
4: will [G1487] I punish [G1556] them [G1473] with punishment [G1557], O son [G5207] of man ? of the [G3588] lawless deeds of the [G3588]ir fathers [G3962][G1473] Testify [G1263] to them [G1473]!
5: And [G2532] you will say [G2046] to [G4314] them [G1473], Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962]; From which [G3739] day [G2250] I took up the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] Israel, and [G2532] made known [G1107] to the [G3588] seed [G4690] of house [G3624] of the [G3588] Jacob, and [G2532] was known [G1097] by them [G1473] in [G1722] land '[G1093] of Egypt, and [G2532] took hold of the [G3588] with my hand [G5495][G1473] them [G1473], saying [G3004], I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473].
6: In [G1722] that [G1565] the [G3588] day [G2250] I took hold of them [G1473] the [G3588] by my hand [G5495][G1473], the [G3588] to lead [G1806] them [G1473] from out of [G1537] land '[G1093] of Egypt, into [G1519] the [G3588] land '[G1093] which [G3739] I prepared [G2090] for them [G1473]; a land '[G1093] flowing [G4482] milk [G1051] and [G2532] honey [G3192], honeycomb [G2781] is beyond [G3844] every [G3956] the [G3588] land '[G1093].
7: And [G2532] I said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473], Let each [G1538] the [G3588] abominations of the [G3588] his eyes [G3788][G1473] throw away ! and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] practices of Egypt be not [G3361] defiled [G3392]! I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473].
8: And [G2532] they revolted from me [G1473], and [G2532] wanted not [G3756][G2309] to listen to [G1522] me [G1473]. Each [G1538] the [G3588] abominations of the [G3588]ir eyes [G3788][G1473] threw not away [G3756], and [G2532] the [G3588] practices of Egypt they abandoned not [G3756][G1459]. And [G2532] I spoke [G2036] the [G3588] to pour out [G1632] the [G3588] my rage [G2372][G1473] upon [G1909] them [G1473]; the [G3588] to complete [G4931] the [G3588] my anger [G3709][G1473] among [G1722] them [G1473] in [G1722] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] Egypt.
9: And [G2532] I acted [G4160] so that [G3704] the [G3588] name [G3686] of me [G1473] the [G3588] should not be thoroughly [G3361] profaned before [G1799] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484] which [G3739] they [G1473] are in [G1722] midst [G3319] of them [G1473], to [G1722] the ones whom [G3739] I made known [G1097] to [G4314] them [G1473] of their presence [G1799][G1473], the [G3588] to lead [G1806] them [G1473] from out of [G1537] land '[G1093] of Egypt.
10: And [G2532] I led [G1806] them [G1473] from [G1537] land '[G1093] of Egypt, and [G2532] I conveyed ' them [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048].
11: And [G2532] I gave [G1325] them [G1473] the [G3588] orders of me [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345][G1473] I made known [G1107] to them [G1473]; how [G5613] if should do [G4160] them [G1473] a man then [G2532] he will live [G2198] by [G1722] them [G1473].
12: And [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] I gave [G1325] to them [G1473], the [G3588] to be for [G1519] a sign [G4592] between me [G1473] and [G2532] between them [G1473], for the [G3588]m to know [G1097][G1473] that [G3754] I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962], the [G3588] [one] sanctifying them [G1473].
13: And [G2532] greatly embittered [G3893] me [G1473] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] Israel] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048]. In [G1722] the [G3588] orders of me [G1473] they did not go [G3756][G4198], and [G2532] the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345][G1473] they thrust away , which [G3739] will do [G4160] them [G1473] a man and [G2532] will live [G2198] by [G1722] them [G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] they profaned exceedingly [G4970]. And [G2532] I spoke [G2036] the [G3588] to pour out [G1632] the [G3588] my rage [G2372][G1473] upon [G1909] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048], the [G3588] to completely consume them [G1473].
14: And [G2532] I acted [G4160] so that [G3704] the [G3588] name [G3686] of me [G1473] the [G3588] should not be thoroughly [G3361] profaned before [G1799] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484] which [G3739] I led [G1806] them out [G1473] before [G2596] their eyes [G3788][G1473].
15: And [G2532] I [G1473] lifted [G1808] the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] against [G1909] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048], the [G3588] thorough one , the [G3588] to not [G3361] bring [G1521] them [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] land '[G1093] which [G3739] I gave [G1325] to them [G1473], a land '[G1093] flowing [G4482] milk [G1051] and [G2532] honey [G3192]; (honeycomb [G2781] is beyond [G3844] all [G3956] the [G3588] land '[G1093]).
16: Because the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345][G1473] they thrusted away , and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] orders of me [G1473] they went not [G3756][G4198] by [G1722] them [G1473]; and [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] they profaned , and [G2532] after [G3694] the [G3588] thoughts of the [G3588]ir hearts [G2588][G1473] they went [G4198].
17: And [G2532] spared [G5339] them [G1473] the [G3588] my eye [G3788][G1473] the [G3588] to not wipe them away [G3361][G1813][G1473], and [G2532] I did not commit [G3756][G4160] them [G1473] unto [G1519] consumption [G4930] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048].
18: And [G2532] I said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588]ir children [G5043][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048], in [G1722] the [G3588] laws of the [G3588] your fathers [G3962][G1473] Do not go [G3361][G4198], and [G2532] the [G3588]ir ordinances [G1345][G1473] do not [G3361] keep [G5442], and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588]ir practices [G1473] do not [G3361] intermingle [G4874], and [G2532] be not [G3361] defiled [G3392]!
19: I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473]; by [G1722] the [G3588] my orders go [G4198], and [G2532] the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345][G1473] keep [G5442], and [G2532] do [G4160] them [G1473]!
20: And [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] -- sanctify them [G1473]! and [G2532] it will be for [G1519] a sign [G4592] between me [G1473] and [G2532] you [G1473], the [G3588] to know [G1097] that [G3754] I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473].
21: And [G2532] they rebelled against [G3893] me [G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588]ir children [G5043][G1473] by [G1722] the [G3588] orders of me [G1473] went not [G3756][G4198]. And [G2532] the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345] they guarded not [G3756][G5442] the [G3588] to do [G4160] them [G1473], which [G3739] does [G4160] if a man then [G2532] he will live [G2198] by [G1722] them [G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] they profaned . And [G2532] I spoke [G2036] the [G3588] to pour out [G1632] the [G3588] my rage [G2372][G1473] upon [G1909] them [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] to complete [G4931] the [G3588] my anger [G3709][G1473] against [G1909] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048].
22: And [G2532] I turned [G1994] the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] against them [G1473], and [G2532] I acted [G4160] because of [G1752] myself [G1473], so that [G3704] the [G3588] name [G3686] of me [G1473] the [G3588] thoroughly should not [G3361] be] profaned before [G1799] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484]; from whom [G3779] I led them out [G1806][G1473] before [G2596] their eyes [G3788][G1473].
23: And [G2532] I lifted up [G1808] the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] against [G1909] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048], the [G3588] to disperse [G1287] them [G1473] among [G1722] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484], and [G2532] to scatter [G1289] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] places [G5561];
24: because the [G3588] my ordinances [G1345][G1473] they did not [G3756] observe [G4160], and [G2532] the [G3588] orders of me [G1473] they thrusted away , and [G2532] the [G3588] my Sabbaths [G4521][G1473] profaned , and [G2532] after [G3694] the [G3588] thoughts of the [G3588]ir fathers [G3962][G1473] were the [G3588]ir eyes [G3788].
25: And [G2532] I [G1473] gave [G1325] them up to [G1473] orders [that were] not [G3756] good [G2570], and [G2532] ordinances [G1345] in [G1722] which [G3739] they will not [G3756] live [G2198] by [G1722] them [G1473].
26: And [G2532] I will defile [G3392] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588]ir decrees [G1378][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] my traveling by [G1279][G1473] every one [G3956] opening wide [G1272] womb [G3388], so that [G3704] I should obliterate them [G1473], that [G2443] thay will know [G1097] that [G3754] I [am [G1473] Boss '[G2962].
27: On account of [G1223] this [G3778], speak [G2980] to [G4314] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] Israel, O son [G5207] of man ! And [G2532] you will say [G2046] to [G4314] them [G1473], Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962]; Until [G2193] this [time] [G3778] provoked me to anger [G3949][G1473] the [G3588] your fathers [G3962][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588]ir transgressions [G3900][G1473], in [G1722] which [G3739] they fell [G3895] against [G1519] me [G1473].
28: And [G2532] I brought them [G1521][G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] land '[G1093] which [G3739] I lifted up the [G3588] my hand [G5495][G1473] the [G3588] to give [G1325] it [G1473] to them [G1473]. And [G2532] they looked [at] [G1492] every [G3956] hill [G1015] high [G5308], and [G2532] every [G3956] tree [G3586] shady . And [G2532] they sacrificed [G2380] there [G1563] [to the [G3588]ir gods '[G2316][G1473]. And [G2532] they arranged [G5021] there [G1563] wrath [G3709] of the [G3588] gift [offerings [G1435]. And [G2532] they arranged [G5021] there [G1563] a scent [G3744] of their pleasant aroma [offering [G2175][G1473]. And [G2532] they offered a libation [G4689] there [G1563] of their libation [offerings [G1473].
29: And [G2532] I said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473], What [G5100] is Abama, that [G3754] you [G1473] enter [G1531] there [G1563]? And [G2532] they called upon [G1941] the [G3588] its name [G3686][G1473], Abama, until [G2193] the [G3588] today's [G4594] day [G2250].
30: On account of [G1223] this [G3778], say [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] Israel! Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962]; will [G1487] in [G1722] the [G3588] lawless deeds of the [G3588] your fathers [G3962][G1473] you [G1473] defile yourselves [G3392]? and [G2532] after [G3694] the [G3588]ir abominations [G1473] do you [G1473] fornicate [G1608]?
31: And [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] first-fruits of the [G3588] your gifts [G1390][G1473], and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] your offerings [G1473], in [G1722] the [G3588] passing through [G1236] the [G3588] children [G5043] of you [G1473] in [G1722] fire [G4442], you [G1473] defiled [yourselves [G3392] in [G1722] all [G3956] the [G3588] your thoughts [G1473] until [G2193] the [G3588] today's [G4594] day [G2250]. And [G2532] will I [G1473] answer you [G1473], O house [G3624] of the [G3588] Israel, [no]. [As] I live [G2198], says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962], will [G1487] I answer you [G1473], and [G2532] will [G1487] go up upon [G1909] the [G3588] your wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151][G1473] this [thing]], no [G3778].
32: And [G2532] it will not be [G3756] in which [G3739] manner [G5158] [that] you [G1473] say [G3004], We will be as [G5613] the [G3588] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484], and [G2532] as [G5613] the [G3588] tribes [G5443] of the [G3588] land '[G1093], the [G3588] to serve [G3000] wood [G3586] and [G2532] stone [idols [G3037].
33: On account of [G1223] this [G3778], as I live [G2198][G1473], says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962], with [G1722] hand [G5495] a fortified [G2900] and [G2532] with [G1722] arm [G1023] a high [G5308], and [G2532] with [G1722] rage [G2372] being poured forth , I will reign over [G1909] you [G1473].
34: And [G2532] I will lead you [G1806][G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] peoples [G2992], and [G2532] I will take [G1523] you [G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] places [G5561] of which [G3739] you were dispersed [G1287] in [G1722] them [G1473], with [G1722] hand [G5495] a fortified [G2900] and [G2532] with [G1722] arm [G1023] a high [G5308], and [G2532] with [G1722] rage [G2372] being poured forth .
35: And [G2532] I will convey ' you [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] of the [G3588] peoples [G2992], and [G2532] I will litigate [G1252] for [G4314] you [G1473] there [G1563] face [G4383] to [G2596] face [G4383].
36: In which [G3739] manner [G5158] I litigated [G1252] for [G4314] the [G3588] your fathers [G3962][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] of land '[G1093] of Egypt, so [G3779] will I judge [G2919] you [G1473], says [G3004] Adonai Boss '[G2962].
37: And [G2532] I will lead [G1236] you [G1473] by [G5259] the [G3588] my rod [G4464][G1473], and [G2532] I will bring [G1521] you [G1473] in [G1722] by number .
