حِزْقِيَال 36

١ 1 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ لِجِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ: يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you the word of the Lord:

٢ 2 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ: هَهْ! إِنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةَ صَارَتْ لَنَا مِيرَاثًا،

Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:

٣ 3 فَلِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَخْرَبُوكُمْ وَتَهَمَّمُوكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ لِتَكُونُوا مِيرَاثًا لِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُصْعِدْتُمْ عَلَى شِفَاهِ ٱللِّسَانِ، وَصِرْتُمْ مَذَمَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonoured, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:

٤ 4 لِذَلِكَ فَٱسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْجِبَالِ وَلِلْآكَامِ وَلِلْأَنْهَارِ وَلِلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَلِلْخِرَبِ ٱلْمُقْفِرَةِ وَلِلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمَهْجُورَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ لِلنَّهْبِ وَٱلِٱسْتِهْزَاءِ لِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهَا.

therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;

٥ 5 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي فِي نَارِ غَيْرَتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَعَلَى أَدُومَ كُلِّهَا، ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا أَرْضِي مِيرَاثًا لَهُمْ بِفَرَحِ كُلِّ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَبُغْضَةِ نَفْسٍ لِنَهْبِهَا غَنِيمَةً.

therefore, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:

٦ 6 فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لِلْجِبَالِ وَلِلْتِّلَالِ وَلِلْأَنْهَارِ وَلِلْأَوْدِيَةِ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا فِي غَيْرَتِي وَفِي غَضَبِي تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ حَمَلْتُمْ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي، فَٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ هُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ.

therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُنْبِتُونَ فُرُوعَكُمْ وَتُثْمِرُونَ ثَمَرَكُمْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَرِيبُ ٱلْإِتْيَانِ.

But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.

٩ 9 لِأَنِّي أَنَا لَكُمْ وَأَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتُحْرَثُونَ وَتُزْرَعُونَ.

For, behold, I am towards you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:

١٠ 10 وَأُكَثِّرُ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْكُمْ، كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، فَتُعْمَرُ ٱلْمُدُنُ وَتُبْنَى ٱلْخِرَبُ.

and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.

١١ 11 وَأُكَثِّرُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْبَهِيمَةَ فَيَكْثُرُونَ وَيُثْمِرُونَ، وَأُسَكِّنُكُمْ حَسَبَ حَالَتِكُمُ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ، وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا فِي أَوَائِلِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

١٢ 12 وَأُمَشِّي ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْكُمْ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَرِثُونَكَ فَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِيرَاثًا وَلَا تَعُودُ بَعْدُ تُثْكِلُهُمْ.

And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.

١٣ 13 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَكُمْ: أَنْتِ أَكَّالَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمُثْكِلَةُ شُعُوبِكِ.

Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَأْكُلِي ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْدُ، وَلَا تُثْكِلِي شُعُوبَكِ بَعْدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.

١٥ 15 وَلَا أُسَمِّعُ فِيكِ مِنْ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلَا تَحْمِلِينَ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بَعْدُ، وَلَا تُعْثِرِينَ شُعُوبَكِ بَعْدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

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

١٧ 17 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا سَكَنُوا أَرْضَهُمْ نَجَّسُوهَا بِطَرِيقِهِمْ وَبِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. كَانَتْ طَرِيقُهُمْ أَمَامِي كَنَجَاسَةِ ٱلطَّامِثِ،

Son of man, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.

١٨ 18 فَسَكَبْتُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَبِأَصْنَامِهِمْ نَجَّسُوهَا.

So I poured out my wrath upon them:

١٩ 19 فَبَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ فَتَذَرَّوْا فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. كَطَرِيقِهِمْ وَكَأَفْعَالِهِمْ دِنْتُهُمْ.

and I dispersed them amongst the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.

٢٠ 20 فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جَاءُوا نَجَّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ، إِذْ قَالُوا لَهُمْ: هَؤُلَاءِ شَعْبُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

And they went in amongst the nations, amongst which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.

٢١ 21 فَتَحَنَّنْتُ عَلَى ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسَهُ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جَاءُوا.

But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom they went.

٢٢ 22 «لِذَلِكَ فَقُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا صَانِعٌ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسْتُمُوهُ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جِئْتُمْ.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom you went.

٢٣ 23 فَأُقَدِّسُ ٱسْمِي ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلْمُنَجَّسَ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسْتُمُوهُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، فَتَعْلَمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned amongst the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified amongst you before their eyes.

٢٤ 24 وَآخُذُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ.

And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:

٢٥ 25 وَأَرُشُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَاءً طَاهِرًا فَتُطَهَّرُونَ. مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ أُطَهِّرُكُمْ.

and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.

٢٦ 26 وَأُعْطِيكُمْ قَلْبًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ رُوحًا جَدِيدَةً فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ ٱلْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِكُمْ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ.

And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.

٢٧ 27 وَأَجْعَلُ رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، وَأَجْعَلُكُمْ تَسْلُكُونَ فِي فَرَائِضِي، وَتَحْفَظُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَتَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا.

And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgements, and do [them].

٢٨ 28 وَتَسْكُنُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا.

And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

٢٩ 29 وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَاتِكُمْ. وَأَدْعُو ٱلْحِنْطَةَ وَأُكَثِّرُهَا وَلَا أَضَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ جُوعًا.

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.

٣٠ 30 وَأُكَثِّرُ ثَمَرَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَغَلَّةَ ٱلْحَقْلِ لِكَيْلَا تَنَالُوا بَعْدُ عَارَ ٱلْجُوعِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine amongst the nations.

٣١ 31 فَتَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمُ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ غَيْرَ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِكُمْ وَعَلَى رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ.

And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.

٣٢ 32 لَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا صَانِعٌ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُومًا لَكُمْ. فَٱخْجَلُوا وَٱخْزَوْا مِنْ طُرُقِكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

٣٣ 33 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ تَطْهِيرِي إِيَّاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ آثَامِكُمْ، أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ، فَتُبْنَى ٱلْخِرَبُ.

Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:

٣٤ 34 وَتُفْلَحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ عِوَضًا عَنْ كَوْنِهَا خَرِبَةً أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ عَابِرٍ.

and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.

٣٥ 35 فَيَقُولُونَ: هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ صَارَتْ كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ وَٱلْمُقْفِرَةُ وَٱلْمُنْهَدِمَةُ مُحَصَّنَةً مَعْمُورَةً.

And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.

٣٦ 36 فَتَعْلَمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُرِكُوا حَوْلَكُمْ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، بَنَيْتُ ٱلْمُنْهَدِمَةَ وَغَرَسْتُ ٱلْمُقْفِرَةَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَسَأَفْعَلُ.

And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].

٣٧ 37 هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: بَعْدَ هَذِهِ أُطْلَبُ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَفْعَلَ لَهُمْ. أُكَثِّرُهُمْ كَغَنَمِ أُنَاسٍ،

Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;

٣٨ 38 كَغَنَمِ مَقْدِسٍ، كَغَنَمِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَوَاسِمِهَا، فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ مَلآنَةً غَنَمَ أُنَاسٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
