< حِزْقِيَال 18 >
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,
«مَا لَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تَضْرِبُونَ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَائِلِينَ: ٱلْآبَاءُ أَكَلُوا ٱلْحِصْرِمَ وَأَسْنَانُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ ضَرِسَتْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدُ أَنْ تَضْرِبُوا هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ 3 |
As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
هَا كُلُّ ٱلنُّفُوسِ هِيَ لِي. نَفْسُ ٱلْأَبِ كَنَفْسِ ٱلِٱبْنِ، كِلَاهُمَا لِي. اَلنَّفْسُ ٱلَّتِي تُخْطِئُ هِيَ تَمُوتُ. | ٤ 4 |
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
وَٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ بَارًّا وَفَعَلَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا، | ٥ 5 |
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
لَمْ يَأْكُلْ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى أَصْنَامِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَمْ يُنَجِّسِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِهِ، وَلَمْ يَقْرُبِ ٱمْرَأَةً طَامِثًا، | ٦ 6 |
and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity,
وَلَمْ يَظْلِمْ إِنْسَانًا، بَلْ رَدَّ لِلْمَدْيُونِ رَهْنَهُ، وَلَمْ يَغْتَصِبِ ٱغْتِصَابًا بَلْ بَذَلَ خُبْزَهُ لِلْجَوْعَانِ، وَكَسَا ٱلْعُرْيَانَ ثَوْبًا، | ٧ 7 |
and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
وَلَمْ يُعْطِ بِٱلرِّبَا، وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ مُرَابَحَةً، وَكَفَّ يَدَهُ عَنِ ٱلْجَوْرِ، وَأَجْرَى ٱلْعَدْلَ ٱلْحَقَّ بَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ٨ 8 |
he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,
وَسَلَكَ فِي فَرَائِضِي وَحَفِظَ أَحْكَامِي لِيَعْمَلَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَهُوَ بَارٌّ. حَيَاةً يَحْيَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
«فَإِنْ وَلَدَ ٱبْنًا مُعْتَنِفًا سَفَّاكَ دَمٍ، فَفَعَلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ، | ١٠ 10 |
If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,
وَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ كُلَّ تِلْكَ، بَلْ أَكَلَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَنَجَّسَ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِهِ، | ١١ 11 |
and that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
وَظَلَمَ ٱلْفَقِيرَ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ، وَٱغْتَصَبَ ٱغْتِصَابًا، وَلَمْ يَرُدَّ ٱلرَّهْنَ، وَقَدْ رَفَعَ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَصْنَامِ وَفَعَلَ ٱلرِّجْسَ، | ١٢ 12 |
hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
وَأَعْطَى بِٱلرِّبَا وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُرَابَحَةَ، أَفَيَحْيَا؟ لَا يَحْيَا! قَدْ عَمِلَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ فَمَوْتًا يَمُوتُ. دَمُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
«وَإِنْ وَلَدَ ٱبْنًا رَأَى جَمِيعَ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلَهَا، فَرَآهَا وَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ مِثْلَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doeth not such like;
لَمْ يَأْكُلْ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى أَصْنَامِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا نَجَّسَ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِهِ، | ١٥ 15 |
that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
وَلَا ظَلَمَ إِنْسَانًا، وَلَا ٱرْتَهَنَ رَهْنًا، وَلَا ٱغْتَصَبَ ٱغْتِصَابًا، بَلْ بَذَلَ خُبْزَهُ لِلْجَوْعَانِ، وَكَسَا ٱلْعُرْيَانَ ثَوْبًا | ١٦ 16 |
neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
وَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَنِ ٱلْفَقِيرِ، وَلَمْ يَأْخُذْ رِبًا وَلَا مُرَابَحَةً، بَلْ أَجْرَى أَحْكَامِي وَسَلَكَ فِي فَرَائِضِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِ أَبِيهِ. حَيَاةً يَحْيَا. | ١٧ 17 |
that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
أَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَلِأَنَّهُ ظَلَمَ ظُلْمًا، وَٱغْتَصَبَ أَخَاهُ ٱغْتِصَابًا، وَعَمِلَ غَيْرَ ٱلصَّالِحِ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، فَهُوَذَا يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
«وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا لَا يَحْمِلُ ٱلِٱبْنُ مِنْ إِثْمِ ٱلْأَبِ؟ أَمَّا ٱلِٱبْنُ فَقَدْ فَعَلَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا. حَفِظَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِي وَعَمِلَ بِهَا فَحَيَاةً يَحْيَا. | ١٩ 19 |
Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
اَلنَّفْسُ ٱلَّتِي تُخْطِئُ هِيَ تَمُوتُ. اَلِٱبْنُ لَا يَحْمِلُ مِنْ إِثْمِ ٱلْأَبِ، وَٱلْأَبُ لَا يَحْمِلُ مِنْ إِثْمِ ٱلِٱبْنِ. بِرُّ ٱلْبَارِّ عَلَيْهِ يَكُونُ، وَشَرُّ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ عَلَيْهِ يَكُونُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
فَإِذَا رَجَعَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ عَنْ جَمِيعِ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلَهَا وَحَفِظَ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِي وَفَعَلَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا فَحَيَاةً يَحْيَا. لَا يَمُوتُ. | ٢١ 21 |
But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
كُلُّ مَعَاصِيهِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلَهَا لَا تُذْكَرُ عَلَيْهِ. فِي بِرِّهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ يَحْيَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
هَلْ مَسَرَّةً أُسَرُّ بِمَوْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أَلَا بِرُجُوعِهِ عَنْ طُرُقِهِ فَيَحْيَا؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
وَإِذَا رَجَعَ ٱلْبَارُّ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَعَمِلَ إِثْمًا وَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ كُلِّ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلَّتِي يَفْعَلُهَا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، أَفَيَحْيَا؟ كُلُّ بِرِّهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ لَا يُذْكَرُ. فِي خِيَانَتِهِ ٱلَّتِي خَانَهَا وَفِي خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا يَمُوتُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
«وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: لَيْسَتْ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَوِيَةً. فَٱسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَطَرِيقِي هِيَ غَيْرُ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ طُرُقُكُمْ غَيْرَ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
إِذَا رَجَعَ ٱلْبَارُّ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَعَمِلَ إِثْمًا وَمَاتَ فِيهِ، فَبِإِثْمِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ يَمُوتُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
وَإِذَا رَجَعَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ عَنْ شَرِّهِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ، وَعَمِلَ حَقًّا وَعَدْلًا، فَهُوَ يُحْيِي نَفْسَهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
رَأَى فَرَجَعَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَعَاصِيهِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا فَحَيَاةً يَحْيَا. لَا يَمُوتُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
وَبَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَتْ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَوِيَةً. أَطُرُقِي غَيْرُ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ أَلَيْسَتْ طُرُقُكُمْ غَيْرَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ كَطُرُقِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. تُوبُوا وَٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ مَعَاصِيكُمْ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِثْمُ مَهْلَكَةً. | ٣٠ 30 |
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
اِطْرَحُوا عَنْكُمْ كُلَّ مَعَاصِيكُمُ ٱلَّتِي عَصَيْتُمْ بِهَا، وَٱعْمَلُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ قَلْبًا جَدِيدًا وَرُوحًا جَدِيدَةً. فَلِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
لِأَنِّي لَا أُسَرُّ بِمَوْتِ مَنْ يَمُوتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَٱرْجِعُوا وَٱحْيَوْا. | ٣٢ 32 |
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
