But I will leave a few [survivors] who will escape the sword, the famine, and the virulent disease, that they may confess all their repulsive (idolatrous) acts among the nations where they go, and may know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.”
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
“I’ll permit a few of them to escape the killing, starvation, and deadly sickness so that they can confess among the foreign countries all the disgusting obscenities they’ve been involved in. They will realize that I am God.” 17-20 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, eat your meals shaking in your boots, drink your water trembling with fear. Tell the people of this land, everyone living in Jerusalem and Israel, God’s Message: ‘You’ll eat your meals shaking in your boots and drink your water in terror because your land is going to be stripped bare as punishment for the brutality rampant in it. All the cities and villages will be emptied out and the fields destroyed. Then you’ll realize that I am God.’” 21-22 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, what’s this proverb making the rounds in the land of Israel that says, ‘Everything goes on the same as ever; all the prophetic warnings are false alarms’? 23-25 “Tell them, ‘God, the Master, says, This proverb’s going to have a short life!’“Tell them, ‘Time’s about up. Every warning is about to come true. False alarms and easygoing preaching are a thing of the past in the life of Israel. I, God, am doing the speaking. What I say happens. None of what I say is on hold. What I say, I’ll do—and soon, you rebels!’ Decree of God the Master.” 26-28 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, do you hear what Israel is saying: that the alarm the prophet raises is for a long time off, that he’s preaching about the far-off future? Well, tell them, ‘God, the Master, says, “Nothing of what I say is on hold. What I say happens.”’ Decree of God, the Master.”
But I will [h]spare a few of them from the sword, the famine and the pestilence that they may tell all their abominations among the nations where they go, and [i]may know that I am the Lord.”
But I will spare a few of them. I will save them from war, hunger and plague. In those countries they will admit they have done all kinds of evil things. I hate those things. They will know that I am the Lord.”
But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
But I will spare a few of them from death by war, famine, or disease, so they can confess all their detestable sins to their captors. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

وَأُبْقِي عَلَى فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ مِنْهُمْ أُنَجِّيهَا مِنَ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ، لِكَيْ يُحَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي فَرَّقْتُهُمْ فِيهَا فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

Nogle vil overleve både krigen, hungersnøden og epidemierne, så de derude blandt de fremmede folkeslag kan komme til besindelse og indrømme deres ondskab og afgudsdyrkelse og til sidst indse, at jeg er Herren.”
German
Krieg, Hunger und Seuchen werden viele dahinraffen. Doch ich selbst sorge dafür, dass ein kleiner Rest von ihnen am Leben bleibt. Sie sollen den Völkern, bei denen sie wohnen, von den abscheulichen Taten der Israeliten erzählen. So sollen auch diese Völker erfahren, dass ich der Herr bin.« Hesekiels Zittern – ein Zeichen für Israel

Mais je conserverai un petit nombre d’entre eux qui échapperont à l’épée, à la famine et à la peste, pour qu’ils racontent toutes leurs abominations au milieu des peuples chez qui ils iront. Et l’on reconnaîtra que je suis l’Eternel.
