1	And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah:	“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.	“Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
2	Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against you, Aha! and the heights of old were for a possession to us:	Thus says the Lord GOD: Because the enemy said of you, ‘Aha!’ and, ‘The ancient heights have become our possession,’	This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The enemy said of you, “Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession.\|’
3	For this, prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because for, because of making desolate, and panting after you from round about, for you to be a possession for the remainder of the nations, and ye will come up upon the lips of the tongue and a slander of the people:	therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Precisely because they made you desolate and crushed you from all sides, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you became the talk and evil gossip of the people,	Therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because they ravaged and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander,
4	For this ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the torrents and to the valleys, and to the desolate wastes, and to cities being forsaken which were for plunder and for derision to the rest of the nations that are from round about;	therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains and the hills, the ravines and the valleys, the desolate wastes and the deserted cities, which have become a prey and derision to the rest of the nations all around,	therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD: This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you—
5	For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: If not in the fire of my jealousy I spake against the rest of the nations and against all Edom who gave my land to them for a possession with joy of all the heart, with contempt of soul for casting it out for plunder.	therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Surely I have spoken in my hot jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave my land to themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, that they might make its pasturelands a prey.	this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’
6	For this, prophesy against the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, and to the torrents and to the valleys, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Behold me, in my jealousy and in my wrath did I speak because ye bore the shame of the nations.	Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I have spoken in my jealous wrath, because you have suffered the reproach of the nations.	Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.
7	For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I lifted up my hand; if not the nations who are from round about to you, they shall bear their shame.	Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I swear that the nations that are all around you shall themselves suffer reproach.	Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.
8	And ye mountains of Israel, ye shall give your branch, and ye shall bear your fruit to my people Israel; for they drew near to come.	“But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they will soon come home.	“’But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
9	For behold me for you, and I turned to you and ye were tilled and sown.	For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.	I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,
10	And I multiplied man upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it: and the cities were inhabited and the wastes shall be built.	And I will multiply people on you, the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities shall be inhabited and the waste places rebuilt.	and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
11	And I multiplied upon you man and cattle; and they multiplied and were fruitful: and I caused you to dwell according to your former times, and I did good above your beginnings: and ye knew that I am Jehovah.	And I will multiply on you man and beast, and they shall multiply and be fruitful. And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former times, and will do more good to you than ever before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.	I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
12	And I caused man to go upon you, my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou wert to them for an inheritance, and thou shalt no more add to bereave them.	I will let people walk on you, even my people Israel. And they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer bereave them of children.	I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children.
13	Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of their saying to you, Thou didst consume man, and thou wert bereaving thy nations.	Thus says the Lord GOD: Because they say to you, ‘You devour people, and you bereave your nation of children,’	“’This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because some say to you, “You devour people and deprive your nation of its children,”
14	For this, thou shalt no more consume man, and thou shalt no more bereave thy nation; says the Lord Jehovah.	therefore you shall no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the Lord GOD.	therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign LORD.
15	And I will no more cause to be heard in thee the shame of the nations, and thou shalt bear no more the reproach of the peoples, and thou shalt no more bereave thy nations, says the Lord Jehovah.	And I will not let you hear anymore the reproach of the nations, and you shall no longer bear the disgrace of the peoples and no longer cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”	No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”
16	And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying,	The word of the LORD came to me:	Again the word of the LORD came to me:
17	Son of man, the house of Israel dwelling upon their land, and they will defile it with their way and with their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of her set apart.	“Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their ways before me were like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.	“Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness in my sight.
18	And I will pour out my wrath upon them upon the blood which they poured out upon the land, and they defiled it by their blocks:	So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed in the land, for the idols with which they had defiled it.	So I poured out my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols.
19	And I will scatter them among the nations, and they shall be dispersed in the lands: according to their ways and according to their doings, I judged them.	I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them.	I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.
20	And he will come to the nations where they came in there, and they will profane my holy name in saying to them, These the people of Jehovah, and they went forth from their land.	But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, and yet they had to go out of his land.’	And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’
21	And I will spare for my holy name that the house of Israel profaned among the nations where they went there.	But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.	I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.
22	For this, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I do not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name which ye profaned among the nations where ye went there.	“Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.	“Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.
23	And I consecrated my great name, being profaned among the nations which ye profaned, in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, says the Lord Jehovah, in my being consecrated among you before your eyes.	And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.	I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.
24	And I took you from the nations and I gathered you from all the lands, and I brought you into your land.	I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.	“’For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.
25	And I sprinkled clean waters upon you, and ye were cleansed: from all your uncleannesses and from all your blocks will I cleanse you.	I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.	I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
26	And I gave to you a new heart, and a new spirit will I give in the midst of you: and I turned away your heart of stone from your flesh, and I gave to you an heart of flesh.	And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.	I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
27	And my spirit I will, give in the midst of you, and I made that ye shall go in my laws, and my judgments shall ye watch and do.	And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.	And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
28	And ye dwelt in the land which I gave to your fathers, and ye were to me for a people, and I shall be to you for God.	You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.	Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
29	And I saved you from all your uncleannesses: and I called for the grain and I multiplied it, and I will not give famine upon you.	And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you.	I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you.
30	And I multiplied the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that ye shall no more take the reproach of famine among the nations.	I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.	I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.
31	And ye remembered your evil ways and your doings which not being good, and ye loathed with your faces for your iniquities and for your abominations.	Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations.	Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.
32	I did not for your sakes, says the Lord Jehovah, it shall be known to you: be ashamed and be disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel.	It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.	I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign LORD. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!
33	Thus said the Lord Jehovah; In the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, and I caused the cities to be inhabited, and the walls were built.	“Thus says the Lord GOD: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.	“’This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
34	And the desolate land shall be worked instead of its being a desolation before the eyes of all passing by.	And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by.	The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it.
35	And they said: This land being desolate was as the garden of Eden: and the cities laid waste and desolated and destroyed, being fortified, were inhabited.	And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’	They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.”
36	And the nations which shall be left round about you shall know that I Jehovah built the destroyed, I planted the desolated: I Jehovah spake, and I did.	Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the LORD; I have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it.	Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the LORD have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.’
37	Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Yet this will I be sought out to the house of Israel, to do to them; I will multiply them with men as sheep.	“Thus says the Lord GOD: This also I will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: to increase their people like a flock.	“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,
38	As holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her appointments; thus shall the cities laid waste be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.	Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”	as numerous as the flocks for offerings at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
