OET (OET-RV) “Humanity’s child, these men have taken their idols to be their god and their choice to disobey makes it very difficult for them to relate to me. Should I even let them ask me anything?
(Occurrence 0) Son of man
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind the,men the=these set_up idols_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hearts_of,their and,stumbling_block_of iniquity_of,their put before faces_of,their ?,to_be_unquired consulted to/for=them )
God calls Ezekiel this to emphasize that Ezekiel is only a human being. God is eternal and powerful, but humans are not. Alternate translation: “Mortal person” or “Human”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) have taken their idols into their hearts
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind the,men the=these set_up idols_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hearts_of,their and,stumbling_block_of iniquity_of,their put before faces_of,their ?,to_be_unquired consulted to/for=them )
Yahweh speaks of the elders committing themselves to worshiping idols as if the elders had “taken their idols into their hearts.” Alternate translation: “have devoted themselves to idols”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) have put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their own faces
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind the,men the=these set_up idols_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hearts_of,their and,stumbling_block_of iniquity_of,their put before faces_of,their ?,to_be_unquired consulted to/for=them )
Yahweh speaks of the idols that the elders worship as if they were blocks over which the elders stumble, and of being determined to worship those idols as if they had placed those stumbling blocks in front of their faces. Alternate translation: “have resolutely determined to worship the things that lead to iniquity”
(Occurrence 0) stumbling block of their iniquity
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind the,men the=these set_up idols_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hearts_of,their and,stumbling_block_of iniquity_of,their put before faces_of,their ?,to_be_unquired consulted to/for=them )
This could mean: (1) the idols are a stumbling block that leads to the elders’ iniquity or (2) worshiping idols is an iniquity that causes the elders to stumble.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Should I be inquired of at all by them?
(Some words not found in UHB: son_of humankind the,men the=these set_up idols_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hearts_of,their and,stumbling_block_of iniquity_of,their put before faces_of,their ?,to_be_unquired consulted to/for=them )
Yahweh asks this rhetorical question to emphasize that the elders should not be inquiring of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. It can also be stated in active form. Alternate translation: “Should I permit them to inquire of me at all?” or “They should not be inquiring of me at all.” (See also: figs-activepassive)
14:1-3 The leaders of the exiled community of Israel came to visit Ezekiel again, probably seeking encouragement (cp. 8:1; 20:1). The people were tainted with the same kinds of sin, such as idolatry, that affected the people in Judah (cp. 8:10-12).
OET (OET-LV) Oh_son_of humankind the_men the_these they_have_brought_up idols_of_their on hearts_of_their and_stumbling_block_of iniquity_of_their they_have_set in_front_of faces_of_their to_be_unquired will_I_let_myself_be_consulted to/for_them.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
