Yahweh tells Ezekiel what to say to the people of Ammon.
|
|
|
|
## the sons of Ammon ##
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 25:3](./03.md).
|
|
|
|
## 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](../05/05.md).
|
|
|
|
## 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]]) |
