حِزْقِيَال 24

١ 1 وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱكْتُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱسْمَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ. فَإِنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ.

Son of man, write for yourself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.

٣ 3 وَٱضْرِبْ مَثَلًا لِلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ضَعِ ٱلْقِدْرَ. ضَعْهَا وَأَيْضًا صُبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً.

And speak a parable to the provoking house, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Set on the cauldron, and pour water into it:

٤ 4 اِجْمَعْ إِلَيْهَا قِطَعَهَا، كُلَّ قِطْعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ: ٱلْفَخِذَ وَٱلْكَتِفَ. ٱمْلَأُوهَا بِخِيَارِ ٱلْعِظَامِ.

and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,

٥ 5 خُذْ مِنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَكُومَةَ ٱلْعِظَامِ تَحْتَهَا. أَغْلِهَا إِغْلَاءً فَتُسْلَقَ أَيْضًا عِظَامُهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.

[which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.

٦ 6 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱلْقِدْرِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا زِنْجَارُهَا، وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا زِنْجَارُهَا. أَخْرِجُوهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً. لَا تَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا قُرْعَةٌ.

Therefore thus says the Lord; O bloody city, the cauldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ دَمَهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا. قَدْ وَضَعَتْهُ عَلَى ضِحِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ. لَمْ تُرِقْهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِتُوَارَيهُ بِٱلتُّرَابِ.

For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;

٨ 8 لِصُعُودِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، لِتُنْقَمَ نَقْمَةً، وَضَعْتُ دَمَهَا عَلَى ضِحِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ لِئَلَّا يُوارَى.

that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ. إِنِّي أَنَا أُعَظِّمُ كُومَتَهَا.

Therefore thus says the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,

١٠ 10 كَثِّرِ ٱلْحَطَبَ، أَضْرِمِ ٱلنَّارَ، أَنْضِجِ ٱللَّحْمَ، تَبِّلْهُ تَتْبِيلًا، وَلْتُحْرَقِ ٱلْعِظَامُ.

and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;

١١ 11 ثُمَّ ضَعْهَا فَارِغَةً عَلَى ٱلْجَمْرِ لِيَحْمَى نُحَاسُهَا وَيُحْرَقَ، فَيَذُوبَ قَذَرُهَا فِيهَا وَيَفْنَى زِنْجَارُهَا.

and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,

١٢ 12 بِمَشَقَّاتٍ تَعِبَتْ وَلَمْ تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا كَثْرَةُ زِنْجَارِهَا. فِي ٱلنَّارِ زِنْجَارُهَا.

and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.

١٣ 13 فِي نَجَاسَتِكِ رَذِيلَةٌ لِأَنِّي طَهَّرْتُكِ فَلَمْ تَطْهُرِي، وَلَنْ تَطْهُرِي بَعْدُ مِنْ نَجَاسَتِكِ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ.

Her scum shall become shameful, because you did defile yourself: and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?

١٤ 14 أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمْتُ. يَأْتِي فَأَفْعَلُهُ. لَا أُطْلِقُ وَلَا أُشْفِقُ وَلَا أَنْدَمُ. حَسَبَ طُرُقِكِ وَحَسَبَ أَعْمَالِكِ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices: therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١٦ 16 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَأَنَذَا آخُذُ عَنْكَ شَهْوَةَ عَيْنَيْكَ بِضَرْبَةٍ، فَلَا تَنُحْ وَلَا تَبْكِ وَلَا تَنْزِلْ دُمُوعُكَ.

Son of man, behold I take from you the desire of your eyes by violence: you shall not lament, neither shall you weep.

١٧ 17 تَنَهَّدْ سَاكِتًا. لَا تَعْمَلْ مَنَاحَةً عَلَى أَمْوَاتٍ. لُفَّ عِصَابَتَكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَٱجْعَلْ نَعْلَيْكَ فِي رِجْلَيْكَ، وَلَا تُغَطِّ شَارِبَيْكَ، وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ خُبْزِ ٱلنَّاسِ».

You shall groan for blood, and have mourning upon your loins; your hair shall not be braided upon you, and your sandals [shall be] on your feet; you shall in no wise be comforted by their lips, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

١٨ 18 فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ صَبَاحًا وَمَاتَتْ زَوْجَتِي مَسَاءً. وَفَعَلْتُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ.

And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.

١٩ 19 فَقَالَ لِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ: «أَلَا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا لَنَا وَهَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ صَانِعُهَا؟»

And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are that you do?

٢٠ 20 فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ: «قَدْ كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢١ 21 كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا مُنَجِّسٌ مَقْدِسِي فَخْرَ عِزِّكُمْ، شَهْوَةَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَلَذَّةَ نُفُوسِكُمْ. وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ،

Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.

٢٢ 22 وَتَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ: لَا تُغَطُّونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ خُبْزِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

And you shall do as I have done: you shall not be comforted at their mouth, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

٢٣ 23 وَتَكُونُ عَصَائِبُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَنِعَالُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ. لَا تَنُوحُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ وَتَفْنَوْنَ بِآثَامِكُمْ. تَئِنُّونَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall you at all lament or weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.

٢٤ 24 وَيَكُونُ حِزْقِيَالُ لَكُمْ آيَةً. مِثْلَ كُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ تَصْنَعُونَ. إِذَا جَاءَ هَذَا، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall you do, when these things shall come; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

٢٥ 25 وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَفَلَا يَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ آخُذُ عَنْهُمْ عِزَّهُمْ، سُرُورَ فَخْرِهِمْ، شَهْوَةَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَرَفْعَةَ نَفْسِهِمْ: أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ،

And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

٢٦ 26 أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمُنْفَلِتُ لِيُسْمِعَ أُذُنَيْكَ.

that in that day he that escapes shall come to you, to tell [it] you in your ears?

٢٧ 27 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَنْفَتِحُ فَمُكَ لِلْمُنْفَلِتِ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ. وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ آيَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

In that day your mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; you shall speak, and shall be no longer dumb: and you shall be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
