Chapter 16

1The word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2You are not to marry and not to have sons and daughters in this place.

lo-ti-KACH le-KHA i-SHAH, v'-lo-yi-HU l'-KHA ba-NEEM u-va-NOt ba-ma-KOM ha-ZEH.

בלֹא־תִקַּ֥ח לְךָ֖ אִשָּׁ֑ה וְלֹֽא־יִהְי֤וּ לְךָ֙ בָּנִ֣ים וּבָנ֔וֹת בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃

3For thus said Hashem concerning any sons and daughters that may be born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bear them, and concerning the fathers who beget them in this land:

ki-KHO a-MAR a-do-NAI al ha-ba-NEEM v'-al ha-ba-NOT ha-yi-LO-dim ba-ma-KOM ha-ZEH v'-al i-MO-tam ha-yol-DO-tam v'-al a-vo-TAM ha-mo-li-DIM o-TAM ba-A-rets ha-ZOT

גכִּי־כֹ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהֹוָ֗ה עַל־הַבָּנִים֙ וְעַל־הַבָּנ֔וֹת הַיִּלּוֹדִ֖ים בַּמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְעַֽל־אִמֹּתָ֞ם הַיֹּלְד֣וֹת אוֹתָ֗ם וְעַל־אֲבוֹתָ֛ם הַמּוֹלִדִ֥ים אוֹתָ֖ם בָּאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּֽאת׃

4They shall die gruesome deaths. They shall not be lamented or buried; they shall be like dung on the surface of the ground. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their corpses shall be food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.

דמְמוֹתֵ֨י תַחֲלֻאִ֜ים יָמֻ֗תוּ לֹ֤א יִסָּֽפְדוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יִקָּבֵ֔רוּ לְדֹ֛מֶן עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָ֖ה יִהְי֑וּ וּבַחֶ֤רֶב וּבָֽרָעָב֙ יִכְל֔וּ וְהָיְתָ֤ה נִבְלָתָם֙ לְמַאֲכָ֔ל לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּלְבֶהֱמַ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

5For thus said Hashem: Do not enter a house of mourning, Do not go to lament and to condole with them; For I have withdrawn My favor from that people —declares Hashem— My kindness and compassion.

ki-KHO a-MAR a-do-NAI al-ta-VO b'-EYT mar-ZAY-akh v'-al-te-LEKH li-s'-POD v'-al-ta-NOD la-HEM ki-a-SAFT-ee et-sh'-LO-mee may-EYT ha-aM ha-ZEH, ne-UM a-do-NAI, et-ha-KHE-sed v'-et-ha-ra-KHA-meem

6Great and small alike shall die in this land, They shall not be buried; men shall not lament them, Nor gash and tonsure themselves for them.

7They shall not break bread for a mourner To comfort him for a bereavement, Nor offer one a cup of consolation For the loss of his father or mother.

8Nor shall you enter a house of feasting, To sit down with them to eat and drink.

חוּבֵית־מִשְׁתֶּ֥ה לֹֽא־תָב֖וֹא לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אוֹתָ֑ם לֶאֱכֹ֖ל וְלִשְׁתּֽוֹת׃

9For thus said the lord of Hosts, the God of Yisrael: I am going to banish from this place, in your days and before your eyes, the sound of mirth and gladness, the voice of bridegroom and bride.

ki kho a-MAR a-do-NAI t'-va-OT e-lo-HAY yis-ra-AYL hin-NEE mash-BEET min ha-ma-KOM ha-ZEH l'-ay-NAY-khem u-vi-MAY-khem KOL sa-SOAN v'-KOL sim-KHAH KOL kha-TAN v'-KOL ka-LAH

10And when you announce all these things to that people, and they ask you, “Why has Hashem decreed upon us all this fearful evil? What is the iniquity and what the sin that we have committed against Hashem our God?”

11say to them, “Because your fathers deserted Me—declares Hashem—and followed other gods and served them and worshiped them; they deserted Me and did not keep My Instruction.

12And you have acted worse than your fathers, every one of you following the willfulness of his evil heart and paying no heed to Me.

13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land to a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods, day and night; for I will show you no mercy.”

14Assuredly, a time is coming—declares Hashem—when it shall no more be said, “As Hashem lives who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt,”

15but rather, “As Hashem lives who brought the Israelites out of the northland, and out of all the lands to which He had banished them.” For I will bring them back to their land, which I gave to their fathers.

16Lo, I am sending for many fishermen —declares Hashem— And they shall haul them out; And after that I will send for many hunters, And they shall hunt them Out of every mountain and out of every hill And out of the clefts of the rocks.

17For My eyes are on all their ways, They are not hidden from My presence, Their iniquity is not concealed from My sight.

18I will pay them in full— Nay, doubly for their iniquity and their sins— Because they have defiled My land With the corpses of their abominations, And have filled My own possession With their abhorrent things.

19Hashem, my strength and my stronghold, My refuge in a day of trouble, To You nations shall come From the ends of the earth and say: Our fathers inherited utter delusions, Things that are futile and worthless.
