These are Yahweh's words to the people of Israel.
The Lord Yahweh says this
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to remind Ezekiel and the people that what he is saying is important. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 6:11. AT: "I, the Lord Yahweh, say this" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
Lord Yahweh
See how you translated this in Ezekiel 2:4.
Disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it is coming.
These exclamations are meant to make the passage very strong. AT: "Behold, a terrible disaster is coming, one that no one has ever experienced before"
Behold, it
"You can be absolutely sure that it"
The end has woken up against you
The judgment that is coming is treated as if it were an enemy waking up from sleep. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
the mountains will no longer be joyful
The word "mountains" is a metonym for the people who live on the mountains. AT: "the people on the mountains will not have any more joy" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
