حِزْقِيَال 20
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءُوا لِيَسْأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and they sat before me.
| فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَلِّمْ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ آتُونَ لِتَسْأَلُونِي؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣ 3 |
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
| هَلْ تَدِينُهُمْ؟ هَلْ تَدِينُ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ عَرِّفْهُمْ رَجَاسَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٤ 4 |
Wilt thou judge them, wilt thou judge, son of man? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
| وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ ٱخْتَرْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِنَسْلِ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَرَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي قَائِلًا: أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، | ٥ 5 |
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand unto them, saying, I [am] Jehovah your God,
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُهَا لَهُمْ، تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، | ٦ 6 |
in that day I lifted up my hand unto them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
| وَقُلْتُ لَهُمُ: ٱطْرَحُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
and I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [am] Jehovah your God.
| فَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحِ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْهُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا أَصْنَامَ مِصْرَ. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي فِي وَسْطِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٨ 8 |
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: none of them cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I thought to pour out my fury upon them, so as to accomplish mine anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
| لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ بِإِخْرَاجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
| فَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
| وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ فَرَائِضِي وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا. | ١١ 11 |
And I gave them my statutes, and made known unto them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them.
| وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا سُبُوتِي لِتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ، لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
And I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] Jehovah that hallow them.
| «فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَرَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي كَثِيرًا. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِإِفْنَائِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
| لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
| وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ بِأَنِّي لَا آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ١٥ 15 |
And I also lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land that I had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which is the ornament of all lands;
| لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي، بَلْ نَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُمْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
because they rejected mine ordinances and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
| لَكِنَّ عَيْنِي أَشْفَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَنْ إِهْلَاكِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أُفْنِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
But mine eye spared them so as not to destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
| وَقُلْتُ لِأَبْنَائِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: لَا تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَلَا تَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامَهُمْ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
| أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَٱسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَٱحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَٱعْمَلُوا بِهَا، | ١٩ 19 |
I [am] Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;
| وَقَدِّسُوا سُبُوتِي فَتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] Jehovah your God.
| فَتَمَرَّدَ ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ عَلَيَّ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي لِيَعْمَلُوهَا، ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live by them; they profaned my sabbaths: and I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine anger against them in the wilderness.
| ثُمَّ كَفَفْتُ يَدِي وَصَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
But I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
| وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِأُفَرِّقَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُذَرِّيَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، | ٢٣ 23 |
I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
| لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصْنَعُوا أَحْكَامِي، بَلْ رَفَضُوا فَرَائِضِي، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، وَكَانَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
because they performed not mine ordinances, and rejected my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
| وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضَ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ، وَأَحْكَامًا لَا يَحْيَوْنَ بِهَا، | ٢٥ 25 |
And I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live;
| وَنَجَّسْتُهُمْ بِعَطَايَاهُمْ إِذْ أَجَازُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحْمٍ، لِأُبِيدَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
and I defiled them by their own gifts, in that they devoted all that opened the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] Jehovah.
| «لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي هَذَا أَيْضًا جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ، إِذْ خَانُونِي خِيَانَةً | ٢٧ 27 |
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have wrought unfaithfulness against me.
| لَمَّا أَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، فَرَأَوْا كُلَّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ غَبْيَاءَ، فَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ، وَقَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ قَرَابِينَهُمُ ٱلْمُغِيظَةَ، وَقَدَّمُوا هُنَاكَ رَوَائِحَ سُرُورِهِمْ، وَسَكَبُوا هُنَاكَ سَكَائِبَهُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
When I had brought them into the land which I had lifted up my hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; and there they placed their sweet savour, and there poured out their drink-offerings.
| فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا؟ فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «مُرْتَفَعَةً» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And I said unto them, What is the high place whither ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
| «لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِطَرِيقِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَزَنَيْتُمْ وَرَاءَ أَرْجَاسِهِمْ؟ | ٣٠ 30 |
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do ye commit fornication after their abominations?
| وَبِتَقْدِيمِ عَطَايَاكُمْ وَإِجَازَةِ أَبْنَائِكُمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، تَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَهَلْ أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
And when ye offer your gifts, making your sons to pass through the fire, ye defile yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day; and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
| وَٱلَّذِي يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ لَنْ يَكُونَ، إِذْ تَقُولُونَ: نَكُونُ كَٱلْأُمَمِ، كَقَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي فَنَعْبُدُ ٱلْخَشَبَ وَٱلْحَجَرَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, in serving wood and stone.
| حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ أَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I reign over you.
| وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out;
| وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأُحَاكِمُكُمْ هُنَاكَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
| كَمَا حَاكَمْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، كَذَلِكَ أُحَاكِمُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٦ 36 |
Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
| وَأُمِرُّكُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلْعَصَا، وَأُدْخِلُكُمْ فِي رِبَاطِ ٱلْعَهْدِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
| وَأَعْزِلُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَٱلْعُصَاةَ عَلَيَّ. أُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
| «أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَصْنَامَهُ. وَبَعْدُ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي فَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ بَعْدُ بِعَطَايَاكُمْ وَبِأَصْنَامِكُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols henceforth also, if none of you will hearken unto me; but profane my holy name no more with your gifts and with your idols.
| لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، فِي جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هُنَاكَ يَعْبُدُنِي كُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. هُنَاكَ أَرْضَى عَنْهُمْ، وَهُنَاكَ أَطْلُبُ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَبَاكُورَاتِ جِزَاكُمْ مَعَ جَمِيعِ مُقَدَّسَاتِكُمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel serve me, the whole of it, in the land; there will I accept them, and there will I require your heave-offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
| بِرَائِحَةِ سُرُورِكُمْ أَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ، حِينَ أُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، | ٤١ 41 |
As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you in the sight of the nations.
| فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ آتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِأُعْطِي آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا. | ٤٢ 42 |
And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have brought you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up my hand to give to your fathers.
| وَهُنَاكَ تَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمْ وَكُلَّ أَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِهَا، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّرُورِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلْتُمْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which ye have committed.
| فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِذَا فَعَلْتُ بِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي. لَا كَطُرُقِكُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَلَا كَأَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلْفَاسِدَةِ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٤٥ 45 |
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ، وَتَكَلَّمْ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى وَعْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْجَنُوبِ، | ٤٦ 46 |
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [words] against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
| وَقُلْ لِوَعْرِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُضْرِمُ فِيكَ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِيكَ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ. لَا يُطْفَأُ لَهِيبُهَا ٱلْمُلْتَهِبُ، وَتُحْرَقُ بِهَا كُلُّ ٱلْوُجُوهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ. | ٤٧ 47 |
and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flashing flame shall not be quenched; and all that it meets from the south to the north shall be burned thereby.
| فَيَرَى كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَضْرَمْتُهَا. لَا تُطْفَأُ». | ٤٨ 48 |
And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
| فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: أَمَا يُمَثِّلُ هُوَ أَمْثَالًا؟». | ٤٩ 49 |
And I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
