حِزْقِيَال 13

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، وَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِمِ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

'Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the LORD:

٣ 3 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْحَمْقَى ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ وَرَاءَ رُوحِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا.

Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the vile prophets, that follow their own spirit, and things which they have not seen!

٤ 4 أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَارُوا كَٱلثَّعَالِبِ فِي ٱلْخِرَبِ.

O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in ruins.

٥ 5 لَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلثُّغَرِ، وَلَمْ تَبْنُوا جِدَارًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْوُقُوفِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Ye have not gone up into the breaches, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

٦ 6 رَأَوْا بَاطِلًا وَعِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً. ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَٱنْتَظَرُوا إِثْبَاتَ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ.

They have seen vanity and lying divination, that say: The LORD saith; and the LORD hath not sent them, yet they hope that the word would be confirmed!

٧ 7 أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، قَائِلِينَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say: The LORD saith; albeit I have not spoken?

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لِأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَذِبًا، فَلِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.

٩ 9 وَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. فِي مَجْلِسِ شَعْبِي لَا يَكُونُونَ، وَفِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُكْتَبُونَ، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And My hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ! وَلَيْسَ سَلَامٌ. وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا وَهَا هُمْ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ.

Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster;

١١ 11 فَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ: إِنَّهُ يَسْقُطُ. يَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ، وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ ٱلْبَرَدِ تَسْقُطْنَ، وَرِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ تُشَقِّقُهُ.

say unto them that daub it with whited plaster, that it shall fall; there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall break forth,

١٢ 12 وَهُوَذَا إِذَا سَقَطَ ٱلْحَائِطُ، أَفَلَا يُقَالُ لَكُمْ: أَيْنَ ٱلطِّينُ ٱلَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

and, lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you: Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أُشَقِّقُهُ بِرِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي غَضَبِي، وَيَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ فِي سَخَطِي، وَحِجَارَةُ بَرَدٍ فِي غَيْظِي لِإِفْنَائِهِ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

١٤ 14 فَأَهْدِمُ ٱلْحَائِطَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَّطْتُمُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأُلْصِقُهُ بِٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَنْكَشِفُ أَسَاسُهُ فَيَسْقُطُ، وَتَفْنَوْنَ أَنْتُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with whited plaster, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

١٥ 15 فَأُتِمُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ ٱلْحَائِطُ بِمَوْجُودٍ وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ!

Thus will I spend My fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with whited plaster; and I will say unto you: The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

١٦ 16 أَيْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلَامٍ، وَلَا سَلَامَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

١٧ 17 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ ضِدَّ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ ٱللَّوَاتِي يَتَنَبَّأْنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِنَّ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

١٨ 18 وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلَّوَاتِي يَخُطْنَ وَسَائِدَ لِكُلِّ أَوْصَالِ ٱلْأَيْدِي، وَيَصْنَعْنَ مِخَدَّاتٍ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لِٱصْطِيَادِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ. أَفَتَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ أَنْفُسَكُنَّ،

and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the women that sew cushions upon all elbows, and make pads for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of My people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

١٩ 19 وَتُنَجِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِأَجْلِ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ، وَلِأَجْلِ فُتَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، لِإِمَاتَةِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَٱسْتِحْيَاءِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَحْيَا، بِكَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي ٱلسَّامِعِينَ لِلْكَذِبِ؟

And ye have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crumbs of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My people that hearken unto lies.

٢٠ 20 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا ضِدُّ وَسَائِدِكُنَّ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِهَا ٱلنُّفُوسَ كَٱلْفِرَاخِ، وَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُطْلِقُ ٱلنُّفُوسَ، ٱلنُّفُوسَ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَهَا كَٱلْفِرَاخِ.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your cushions, wherewith ye hunt the souls as birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt as birds.

٢١ 21 وَأُمَزِّقُ مِخَدَّاتِكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ فِي أَيْدِيكُنَّ لِلصَّيْدِ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

Your pads also will I tear, and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَذِبًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ أَيْدِي ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لَا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ فَيَحْيَا،

Because with lies ye have cowed the heart of the righteous, when I have not grieved him; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, that he be saved alive;

٢٣ 23 فَلِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَلَا تَعْرِفْنَ عِرَافَةً بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations; and I will deliver My people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
