< حِزْقِيَال 14 >
فَجَاءَ إِلَيَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي. | ١ 1 |
And some of the ancients of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
فَصَارَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً: | ٢ 2 |
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ قَدْ أَصْعَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ إِلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَوَضَعُوا مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَوْجُهِهِمْ. فَهَلْ أُسْأَلُ مِنْهُمْ سُؤَالًا؟ | ٣ 3 |
Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me?
لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَلِّمْهُمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِي يُصْعِدُ أَصْنَامَهُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ، وَيَضَعُ مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أُجِيبُهُ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ أَصْنَامِهِ، | ٤ 4 |
Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses:
لِكَيْ آخُذَ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ قَدِ ٱرْتَدُّوا عَنِّي بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols.
لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: تُوبُوا وَٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ أَصْنَامِكُمْ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِكُمُ ٱصْرِفُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Be converted, and depart from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلْمُتَغَرِّبِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذَا ٱرْتَدَّ عَنِّي وَأَصْعَدَ أَصْنَامَهُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ، وَوَضَعَ مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ لِيَسْأَلَهُ عَنِّي، فَإِنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أُجِيبُهُ بِنَفْسِي. | ٧ 7 |
For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself.
وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَأَجْعَلُهُ آيَةً وَمَثَلًا، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ شَعْبِي، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
فَإِذَا ضَلَّ ٱلنَّبِيُّ وَتَكَلَّمَ كَلَامًا، فَأَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَضْلَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيَّ، وَسَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْهِ وَأُبِيدُهُ مِنْ وَسْطِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ 9 |
And when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel.
وَيَحْمِلُونَ إِثْمَهُمْ. كَإِثْمِ ٱلسَّائِلِ يَكُونُ إِثْمُ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be.
لِكَيْ لَا يَعُودَ يَضِلُّ عَنِّي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلِكَيْ لَا يَعُودُوا يَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِكُلِّ مَعَاصِيهِمْ، بَلْ لِيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ١١ 11 |
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts.
وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً: | ١٢ 12 |
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنْ أَخْطَأَتْ إِلَيَّ أَرْضٌ وَخَانَتْ خِيَانَةً، فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِي عَلَيْهَا وَكَسَرْتُ لَهَا قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْجُوعَ، وَقَطَعْتُ مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ، | ١٣ 13 |
Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it.
وَكَانَ فِيهَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ: نُوحٌ وَدَانِيآلُ وَأَيُّوبُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُخَلِّصُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِبِرِّهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٤ 14 |
And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts.
إِنْ عَبَّرْتُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وُحُوشًا رَدِيئَةً فَأَثْكَلُوهَا وَصَارَتْ خَرَابًا بِلَا عَابِرٍ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْوُحُوشِ، | ١٥ 15 |
And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts:
وَفِي وَسْطِهَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُخَلِّصُونَ بَنِينَ وَلَا بَنَاتٍ. هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate.
أَوْ إِنْ جَلَبْتُ سَيْفًا عَلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَقُلْتُ: يَا سَيْفُ ٱعْبُرْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَقَطَعْتُ مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ، | ١٧ 17 |
Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it:
وَفِي وَسْطِهَا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُخَلِّصُونَ بَنِينَ وَلَا بَنَاتٍ، بَلْ هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ. | ١٨ 18 |
And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered.
أَوْ إِنْ أَرْسَلْتُ وَبَأً عَلَى تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَسَكَبْتُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهَا بِٱلدَّمِ لِأَقْطَعَ مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ، | ١٩ 19 |
Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
وَفِي وَسْطِهَا نُوحٌ وَدَانِيآلُ وَأَيُّوبُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُخَلِّصُونَ ٱبْنًا وَلَا ٱبْنَةً. إِنَّمَا يُخَلِّصُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِبِرِّهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice.
«لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: كَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ إِنْ أَرْسَلْتُ أَحْكَامِي ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ: سَيْفًا وَجُوعًا وَوَحْشًا رَدِيئًا وَوَبَأً، لِأَقْطَعَ مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ! | ٢١ 21 |
For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast,
فَهُوَذَا بَقِيَّةٌ فِيهَا نَاجِيَةٌ تُخْرَجُ بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. هُوَذَا يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتَنْظُرُونَ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَأَعْمَالَهُمْ، وَتَتَعَزَّوْنَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبْتُهُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا جَلَبْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it.
وَيُعَزُّونَكُمْ إِذْ تَرَوْنَ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَأَعْمَالَهُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَصْنَعْ بِلَا سَبَبٍ كُلَّ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ فِيهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
