حِزْقِيَال 33
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَلِّمْ بَنِي شَعْبِكَ وقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِذَا جَلَبْتُ ٱلسَّيْفَ عَلَى أَرْضٍ، فَإِنْ أَخَذَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ وَجَعَلُوهُ رَقِيبًا لَهُمْ، | ٢ 2 |
“Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from amongst them, and set him for their watchman,
| فَإِذَا رَأَى ٱلسَّيْفَ مُقْبِلًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَفَخَ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَحَذَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبَ، | ٣ 3 |
if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
| وَسَمِعَ ٱلسَّامِعُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ وَلَمْ يَتَحَذَّرْ، فَجَاءَ ٱلسَّيْفُ وَأَخَذَهُ، فَدَمُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
| سَمِعَ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ وَلَمْ يَتَحَذَّرْ، فَدَمُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. لَوْ تَحَذَّرَ لَخَلَّصَ نَفْسَهُ. | ٥ 5 |
He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
| فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلرَّقِيبُ ٱلسَّيْفَ مُقْبِلًا وَلَمْ يَنْفُخْ فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَلَمْ يَتَحَذَّرِ ٱلشَّعْبُ، فَجَاءَ ٱلسَّيْفُ وَأَخَذَ نَفْسًا مِنْهُمْ، فَهُوَ قَدْ أُخِذَ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلرَّقِيبِ أَطْلُبُهُ. | ٦ 6 |
But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from amongst them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
| «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ رَقِيبًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَسْمَعُ ٱلْكَلَامَ مِنْ فَمِي، وَتُحَذِّرُهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِي. | ٧ 7 |
“So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
| إِذَا قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: يَا شِرِّيرُ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ. فَإِنْ لَمْ تَتَكَلَّمْ لِتُحَذِّرَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ، فَذَلِكَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ. | ٨ 8 |
When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
| وَإِنْ حَذَّرْتَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ لِيَرْجعَ عَنْهُ، وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ، فَهُوَ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ خَلَّصْتَ نَفْسَكَ. | ٩ 9 |
Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ فَكَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ: أَنْتُمْ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ هَكَذَا قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا وَخَطَايَانَا عَلَيْنَا، وَبِهَا نَحْنُ فَانُونَ، فَكَيْفَ نَحْيَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
| قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي لَا أُسَرُّ بِمَوْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، بَلْ بِأَنْ يَرْجِعَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ وَيَحْيَا. اِرْجِعُوا، ٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ! فَلِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ يَابَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
| وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَقُلْ لِبَنِي شَعْبِكَ: إِنَّ بِرَّ ٱلْبَارِّ لَا يُنَجِّيهِ فِي يَوْمِ مَعْصِيَتِهِ، وَٱلشِّرِّيرُ لَا يَعْثُرُ بِشَرِّهِ فِي يَوْمِ رُجُوعِهِ عَنْ شَرِّهِ. وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْبَارُّ أَنْ يَحْيَا بِبِرِّهِ فِي يَوْمِ خَطِيئَتِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
“You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
| إِذَا قُلْتُ لِلْبَارِّ: حَيَاةً تَحْيَا. فَٱتَّكَلَ هُوَ عَلَى بِرِّهِ وَأَثِمَ، فَبِرُّهُ كُلُّهُ لَا يُذْكَرُ، بَلْ بِإِثْمِهِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَهُ يَمُوتُ. | ١٣ 13 |
When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
| وَإِذَا قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ. فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ وَعَمِلَ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، | ١٤ 14 |
Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
| إِنْ رَدَّ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ ٱلرَّهْنَ وَعَوَّضَ عَنِ ٱلْمُغْتَصَبِ، وَسَلَكَ فِي فَرَائِضِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ بِلَا عَمَلِ إِثْمٍ، فَإِنَّهُ حَيَاةً يَحْيَا. لَا يَمُوتُ. | ١٥ 15 |
if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
| كُلُّ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا لَا تُذْكَرُ عَلَيْهِ. عَمِلَ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْحَقِّ فَيَحْيَا حَيَاةً. | ١٦ 16 |
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ يَقُولُونَ: لَيْسَتْ طَرِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَوِيَةً. بَلْ هُمْ طَرِيقُهُمْ غَيْرُ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ! | ١٧ 17 |
“‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
| عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ٱلْبَارِّ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَعِنْدَ عَمَلِهِ إِثْمًا فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ بِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
| وَعِنْدَ رُجُوعِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ عَنْ شَرِّهِ وَعِنْدَ عَمَلِهِ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، فَإِنَّهُ يَحْيَا بِهِمَا. | ١٩ 19 |
When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
| وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ طَرِيقَ ٱلرَّبِّ غَيْرُ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ. إِنِّي أَحْكُمُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ كَطُرُقِهِ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٠ 20 |
Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَيَّ مُنْفَلِتٌ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ ضُرِبَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ». | ٢١ 21 |
In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
| وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ مَسَاءً قَبْلَ مَجِيءِ ٱلْمُنْفَلِتِ، وَفَتَحَتْ فَمِي حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَيَّ صَبَاحًا، فَٱنْفَتَحَ فَمِي وَلَمْ أَكُنْ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
| فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٢٣ 23 |
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَفيِ هَذِهِ ٱلْخِرَبِ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ وَاحِدًا وَقَدْ وَرِثَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَنَحْنُ كَثِيرُونَ، لَنَا أُعْطِيَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِيرَاثًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
“Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: تَأْكُلُونَ بِٱلدَّمِ وَتَرْفَعُونَ أَعْيُنَكُمْ إِلَى أَصْنَامِكُمْ وَتَسْفِكُونَ ٱلدَّمَ، أَفَتَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
| وَقَفْتُمْ عَلَى سَيْفِكُمْ، فَعَلْتُمُ ٱلرِّجْسَ، وَكُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ نَجَّسَ ٱمْرَأَةَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَفَتَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbour’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
| قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: حَيٌّ أَنَا، إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْخِرَبِ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ أَبْذِلُهُ لِلْوَحْشِ مَأْكَلًا، وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْحُصُونِ وَفِي ٱلْمَغَايِرِ يَمُوتُونَ بِٱلْوَبَإِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
| فَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً، وَتَبْطُلُ كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا، وَتَخْرَبُ جِبَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِلَا عَابِرٍ. | ٢٨ 28 |
I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
| فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً عَلَى كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
| «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَإِنَّ بَنِي شَعْبِكَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيْكَ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْجُدْرَانِ، وَفِي أَبْوَابِ ٱلْبُيُوتِ، وَيَتَكَلَّمُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ مَعَ ٱلْآخَرِ، ٱلرَّجُلُ مَعَ أَخِيهِ قَائِلِينَ: هَلُمَّ ٱسْمَعُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْخَارِجُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ! | ٣٠ 30 |
“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
| وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَيْكَ كَمَا يَأْتِي ٱلشَّعْبُ، وَيَجْلِسُونَ أَمَامَكَ كَشَعْبِي، وَيَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَكَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُظْهِرُونَ أَشْوَاقًا وَقَلْبُهُمْ ذَاهِبٌ وَرَاءَ كَسْبِهِمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
| وَهَا أَنْتَ لَهُمْ كَشِعْرِ أَشْوَاقٍ لِجَمِيلِ ٱلصَّوْتِ يُحْسِنُ ٱلْعَزْفَ، فَيَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَكَ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
| وَإِذَا جَاءَ هَذَا، لِأَنَّهُ يَأْتِي، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
“When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been amongst them.”
