“‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.
Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.
24:12
ወኢያወፅእ፡ ብዙኅ፡ ዛሕል፡ እምኔሃ።
這鍋勞碌疲乏,所長的大銹仍未除掉;這銹就是用火也不能除掉。
She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
“‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
“‘“I, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
“Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.
24:22
ወትገብሩ፡ በከመ፡ ገበርኩ። ወኢትከድኑ፡ አፉክሙ፡ ወኢትበልዑ፡ ሲሳየ፡ ዕደው።
那時,你們必行我僕人所行的,不蒙着嘴唇,也不吃弔喪的食物。
You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
“You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
24:26
ውእተ፡ ዕለተ፡ ዘድኅነ፡ ይበጽሕ፡ ኀቤከ፡ ለአስምዖ፡ አእዛን።
那日逃脫的人豈不來到你這裏,使你耳聞這事嗎?
that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
