1And you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel: ‘Hear the word of THE LORD OF LORDS
2Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: because the enemy said against you, ‘Aha!’, and he said, ‘The hills are our inheritance from eternity’
3Because of this, prophesy, and say, ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: because you were shamed and you were laid waste, and you were blasphemed by those around you, and you were an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and you have fallen into the speaking of languages, and into the mockery of the nations’
4Because of this, hear the word of THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘Mountain of Israel, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rivers and to the valleys, and to the ruins that are laid waste, and to the cities that are left, and they were prey and mockery to the rest of the nations around them
5Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘In the fire of my zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all of Edom, because they have made my land an inheritance for themselves, in the joy of their heart. They have disgraced souls, that they would take them captive and would plunder them
6Because of this, prophesy against the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rivers, and to the valleys:, ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ”Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my anger, because you have borne the reproach of the nations"’
7Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘I have lifted a hand against the nations around you, that they shall bear their shame
8But you, mountains of Israel, you shall give your branches, and you shall grow your fruit for my people Israel, because they are near to come
9And behold, I turn to you, and you shall be plowed, and you shall be sown
10And I shall multiply children of men for you, the entire house of Israel, and the cities shall be inhabited and the desolations shall be built
11And I shall multiply children of men and beasts for you, and they shall grow and they shall multiply, and I shall settle you as from former time, and I shall do good to you as from the beginning, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH
12And I shall make children of men walk among you, my people Israel, and they shall inherit you and you shall be to them an inheritance, and you shall not continue to be bereaved anymore 13Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: because they say to you, ‘You consumed children of men, and you bereaved her people’ 14Therefore, you shall not devour children of men again, neither shall you bereave your people again, says THE LORD OF LORDS 15And I shall not hear the reproach of the Gentiles against you again, and you shall not bear their shame again, neither shall you bereave your people again, says THE LORD OF LORDS” 16And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying 17“Son of man, when the house of Israel was dwelling in their land, and they defiled it in their ways and in their schemes, and according to the uncleanness of a menstruous woman, so was their way before me 18And I poured my anger upon them, because they poured out blood in the earth, and they defiled it with their idols 19And I scattered them among the Gentiles, and I dispersed them into the cities, and I judged them according to their ways and according to their schemes 20And they went to the place of the Gentiles and they defiled The Name of my holiness, and the Gentiles were saying to them: ‘These are the people of God, and they have gone out from his land’ 21And I had pity on The Name of my holiness, because they of the house of Israel defiled it among the nations to which they went 22Because of this, say to them of the house of Israel: ‘Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: it is not because of you I act, house of Israel, but because of The Name of my holiness, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you went 23For I shall hallow my great name which is defiled among the nations, which you have defiled among them, and the nations shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, says THE LORD OF LORDS, whenever I am hallowed among you in their sight 24Also, I shall bring you from the nations, and I shall gather you from the cities, and I shall bring you to your land 25And I shall sprinkle upon you pure waters, and I shall purify you from all your filth and from all your idols 26And I shall give to you a new heart and a new spirit I shall put within you, and I shall remove the heart of stone from your flesh and I shall give to you a heart of flesh 27And I shall put my Spirit within you, and I shall cause you to walk in my commandments, and you shall keep my judgments, and you shall do them 28And you shall dwell in the land that I have given to your fathers, and you shall be to me the people, and I shall be to you, God 29And I shall save you from all your filth, and I shall call to the grain and I shall multiply it, and I shall not bring a famine upon you 30And I shall multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the Earth, and you shall not bear the reproach of famine among the nations again 31And you shall remember there your evil ways, and your insane schemes, and your persons shall be seized in your evil and in your abominations 32And know that it is not because of you that I do these things, says THE LORD OF LORDS. Be ashamed and restrain yourselves from your evil ways, and you shall not die, those of the house of Israel 33Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘In the day that I cleanse you from all your evil, I settle the cities and I build the desolations 34And the land that was desolate shall be cultivated, which was desolate in the eyes of everyone who passed 35And they shall say, ‘This desolate land has become like the Paradise of Eden, and the cities that were put to the sword and overthrown are strong fortress cities!’ 36And the nations which are left around you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH. I build ruins and I plant desolations. I, LORD JEHOVAH, I have spoken and I act 37Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: in this I again avenge those of the house of Israel, for I shall do for them, and I shall multiply them like flocks of children of men 38Like holy flocks, like the flocks of Jerusalem in the time of her feasts, so shall be the cities that were destroyed and they shall be filled with flocks of the children of men, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
