حِزْقِيَال 3

١ 1 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ مَا تَجِدُهُ. كُلْ هَذَا ٱلدَّرْجَ، وَٱذْهَبْ كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And he said to me, Son of man, eat that which thou find. Eat this roll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

٢ 2 فَفَتَحْتُ فَمِي فَأَطْعَمَنِي ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّرْجَ.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.

٣ 3 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَطْعِمْ بَطْنَكَ وَٱمْلَأْ جَوْفَكَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلدَّرْجِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا مُعْطِيكَهُ». فَأَكَلْتُهُ فَصَارَ فِي فَمِي كَٱلْعَسَلِ حَلَاوَةً.

And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱذْهَبِ ٱمْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكَلَامِي.

And he said to me, Son of man, go, get thee to the house of Israel, and speak to them with my words.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّكَ غَيْرُ مُرْسَلٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ غَامِضِ ٱللُّغَةِ وَثَقِيلِ ٱللِّسَانِ، بَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For thou are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel,

٦ 6 لَا إِلَى شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ غَامِضَةِ ٱللُّغَةِ وَثَقِيلَةِ ٱللِّسَانِ لَسْتَ تَفْهَمُ كَلَامَهُمْ. فَلَوْ أَرْسَلْتُكَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ لَسَمِعُوا لَكَ.

not to many peoples of a strange speech, and of a hard language, whose words thou cannot understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken to thee.

٧ 7 لَكِنَّ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَشَاؤُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي. لِأَنَّ كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صِلَابُ ٱلْجِبَاهِ وَقُسَاةُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee, for they will not hearken to me. For all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.

٨ 8 هَأَنَذَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهَكَ صُلْبًا مِثْلَ وُجُوهِهِمْ، وَجَبْهَتَكَ صُلْبَةً مِثْلَ جِبَاهِهِمْ،

Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.

٩ 9 قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جَبْهَتَكَ كَٱلْمَاسِ أَصْلَبَ مِنَ ٱلصَّوَّانِ، فَلَا تَخَفْهُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ مِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ».

As an adamant, harder than flint, I have made thy forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلُّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ، أَوْعِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ وَٱسْمَعْهُ بِأُذُنَيْكَ.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.

١١ 11 وَٱمْضِ ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، إِلَى بَنِي شَعْبِكَ، وَكَلِّمْهُمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا».

And go, get thee to those of the captivity, to the sons of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the lord Jehovah, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ حَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ، فَسَمِعْتُ خَلْفِي صَوْتَ رَعْدٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مُبَارَكٌ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ».

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.

١٣ 13 وَصَوْتَ أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْمُتَلَاصِقَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدُ بِأَخِيهِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا وَصَوْتَ رَعْدٍ عَظِيمٍ.

And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched each other, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

١٤ 14 فَحَمَلَنِي ٱلرُّوحُ وَأَخَذَنِي، فَذَهَبْتُ مُرًّا فِي حَرَارَةِ رُوحِي، وَيَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةً عَلَيَّ.

So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away. And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

١٥ 15 فَجِئْتُ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ عِنْدَ تَلِّ أَبِيبَ، ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عْنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَحَيْثُ سَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ سَكَنْتُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَحَيِّرًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

Then I came to those of the captivity at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ إِلَيَّ قَائِلَةً:

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١٧ 17 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ رَقِيبًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱسْمَعِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ فَمِي وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِي.

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

١٨ 18 إِذَا قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ، وَمَا أَنْذَرْتَهُ أَنْتَ وَلَا تَكَلَّمْتَ إِنْذَارًا لِلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ لِإِحْيَائِهِ، فَذَلِكَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ.

When I say to a wicked man, Thou shall surely die, and thou give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked man from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.

١٩ 19 وَإِنْ أَنْذَرْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ شَرِّهِ وَلَا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسَكَ.

Yet if thou warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْبَارُّ إِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَعَمِلَ إِثْمًا وَجَعَلْتُ مُعْثِرَةً أَمَامَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ. لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُ، يَمُوتُ فِي خَطِيَّتِهِ وَلَا يُذْكَرُ بِرُّهُ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ.

Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but I will require his blood at thy hand.

٢١ 21 وَإِنْ أَنْذَرْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْبَارَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ ٱلْبَارُّ، وَهُوَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ، فَإِنَّهُ حَيَاةً يَحْيَا لِأَنَّهُ أُنْذِرَ، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ قَدْ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسَكَ».

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous man not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and thou have delivered thy soul.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ، وَقَالَ لِي: «قُمُ ٱخْرُجْ إِلَى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ وَهُنَاكَ أُكَلِّمُكَ».

And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me, and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will talk with thee there.

٢٣ 23 فَقُمْتُ وَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ، وَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفٌ هُنَاكَ كَٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain. And, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.

٢٤ 24 فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ، ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «اِذْهَبْ أَغْلِقْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِكَ.

Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.

٢٥ 25 وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَهَا هُمْ يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْكَ رُبُطًا وَيُقَيِّدُونَكَ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shall not escape from them.

٢٦ 26 وَأُلْصِقُ لِسَانَكَ بِحَنَكِكَ فَتَبْكَمُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ رَجُلًا مُوَبِّخًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

And I will make thy tongue cling to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shall be mute, and shall not be a reprover to them, for they are a rebellious house.

٢٧ 27 فَإِذَا كَلَّمْتُكَ أَفْتَحُ فَمَكَ فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيَسْمَعْ، وَمَنْ يَمْتَنِعْ فَلْيَمْتَنِعْ. لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ».

But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah. He who hears, let him hear, and he who forbears, let him forbear, for they are a rebellious house.
