1.8 KiB
Yahweh tells Ezekiel what to say to the people of Ammon.
the sons of Ammon
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 25:3.
hear the word of the Lord Yahweh
"Listen to this message from the Lord Yahweh"
thus says the Lord Yahweh
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 5:5.
You have said, “Aha!” against
The word "Aha" is a sound people make when they are happy about something. In this case the people were happy because bad things happened to Israel and Judah. Alternate translation: "You laughed at" or "You cheered against."
against my sanctuary when it was profaned
"against my sanctuary when the enemy profaned it." Alternate translation: "when the enemy army defiled my temple" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
and against the land of Israel when it was desolate
Alternate translation: "and when the land of Israel was in ruins"
and against the house of Judah when they went into exile
Alternate translation "and when they took the people of Judah away as slaves."
behold
This can be translated as “look” or “listen” or “pay attention to what I am about to tell you.”
I am giving you to a people in the east as their possession
"I will cause an army from a land that is east of you to come and conquer you"
they will set up encampments against you and make their tents in you
This could be translated as a new sentence: "They will set up tents and live in your country."
the people of Ammon a field for flocks
Here "the people of Ammon" refers to the land that belonged to the people of Ammon. Alternate translation: "I will make the rest of the land of Ammon a field for flocks." (See rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
