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.

Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.

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

Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.

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

For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.

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

Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.

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

And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.

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

Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.

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

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.

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

Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.

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

And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.

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

Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

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

This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.

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

And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about 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 when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto 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.

Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in 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.

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.

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

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.

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

And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.

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

And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,

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

That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall 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 vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.

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

Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.

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

And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.

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

Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.

٢٥ 25 فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهُ.

Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
