حِزْقِيَال 11

١ 1 ثُمَّ رَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا، وَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ، وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me to the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looks toward the rising of the sun. And behold, at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men. And I saw, in their midst, Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْمُفَكِّرُونَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلْمُشِيرُونَ مَشُورَةً رَدِيئَةً فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And he said to me: “Son of man, these are men who devise iniquity. And they offer a wicked counsel in this city,

٣ 3 اَلْقَائِلُونَ: مَا هُوَ قَرِيبٌ بِنَاءُ ٱلْبُيُوتِ! هِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ وَنَحْنُ ٱللَّحْمُ.

saying: ‘Was it so long ago that houses were being built? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.’

٤ 4 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ. تَنَبَّأْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ».

Therefore, prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.”

٥ 5 وَحَلَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي: «قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا قُلْتُمْ يَابَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَا يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ.

And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and he said to me: “Speak: Thus says the Lord: So have you spoken, O house of Israel. And I know the thoughts of your heart.

٦ 6 قَدْ كَثَّرْتُمْ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ أَزِقَّتَهَا بِٱلْقَتْلَى.

You have killed very many in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَتْلَاكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسْطِهَا هُمُ ٱللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ. وَإِيَّاكُمْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have placed in its midst, these are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. And I will draw you out of its midst.

٨ 8 قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، فَٱلسَّيْفُ أَجْلِبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

You have dread the sword, and so I will lead the sword over you, says the Lord God.

٩ 9 وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ، وَأُجْرِي فِيكُمْ أَحْكَامًا.

And I will cast you out of its midst, and I will give you over to the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments among you.

١٠ 10 بِٱلسَّيْفِ تَسْقُطُونَ. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

You will fall by the sword. I will judge you within the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

١١ 11 هَذِهِ لَا تَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِدْرًا، وَلَا أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ ٱللَّحْمَ فِي وَسْطِهَا. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ،

This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not be like meat in its midst. I will judge you within the borders of Israel.

١٢ 12 فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِأَحْكَامِهِ، بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ».

And you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my precepts, and you have not accomplished my judgments. Instead, you have acted in accord with the judgments of the Gentiles, who are all around you.”

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَنَبَّأْتُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ. فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَلْ تُفْنِي أَنْتَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟».

And it happened that, when I prophesied, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. And I fell upon my face, and I cried out with a loud voice, and I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you cause the consummation of the remnant of Israel?”

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

١٥ 15 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِخْوَتُكَ إِخْوَتُكَ ذَوُو قَرَابَتِكَ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ٱبْتَعِدُوا عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَنَا أُعْطِيَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِيرَاثًا.

“Son of man, your brothers, the men among your close relatives, your brothers and the entire house of Israel, are all among those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: ‘Withdraw far from the Lord; the earth has been given to us as a possession.’

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْعَدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ بَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِسًا صَغِيرًا فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا.

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since I have caused them to be far away, among the Gentiles, and since I have dispersed them among the lands, I will be a little sanctuary for them within the lands to which they have gone.

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَحْشُرُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَبَدَّدْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأُعْطِيكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and I will unite you, from the lands into which you were dispersed, and I will give the soil of Israel to you.

١٨ 18 فَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَيُزِيلُونَ جَمِيعَ مَكْرُهَاتِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ رَجَاسَاتِهَا مِنْهَا.

And they shall go to that place, and they shall remove all the offenses and all its abominations from that place.

١٩ 19 وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ ٱلْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ،

And I will give them one heart. And I will distribute a new spirit to their interior. And I will take away the heart of stone from their body. And I will give them a heart of flesh.

٢٠ 20 لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا، فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

So may they may walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them. And so may they be my people, and I will be their God.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ قَلْبُهُمْ ذَاهِبٌ وَرَاءَ قَلْبِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْلِبُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

But as for those whose heart walks after their offenses and abominations, I will set their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ رَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

٢٣ 23 وَصَعِدَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَرْقِيِّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city and stood above the mountain, which is to the east of the city.

٢٤ 24 وَحَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ وَجَاءَ بِي فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا بِرُوحِ ٱللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، فَصَعِدَتْ عَنِّي ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا.

And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me into Chaldea, to those of the transmigration, in a vision, in the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen was raised up, away from me.

٢٥ 25 فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهُ.

And I spoke, to those of the transmigration, all the words of the Lord that he had revealed to me.
