حِزْقِيَال 36

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

Also, thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.

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

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said concerning you, “Aha! the everlasting heights have become our possession”;

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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, so that ye have become a possession to the residue of the nations, and a subject for the lips of talkers, and a derision to the people;

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, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, to the mountains and the hills, the valleys and the plain, to the desolate wastes and to the forsaken cities, which are become a prey and a derision to the residue of the nations which are 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, who have allotted my land to themselves for a possession, with joy of their whole heart, and with a despiteful mind, to cast it out for a prey.

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.

Prophesy, therefore, concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the valleys and the plains, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations.

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

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have lifted up my hand, that the nations that are round about you, that they shall bear their reproach.

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

But ye, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches, and bear your fruit for my people Israel; for they are near coming.

٩ 9 لِأَنِّي أَنَا لَكُمْ وَأَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتُحْرَثُونَ وَتُزْرَعُونَ.

For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and ye 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, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.

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

I will multiply men upon you, and beasts; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as of old, and will do better to you than in the ancient time; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

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

Yea, I will cause men, even my people Israel, to walk upon you, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.

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

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say of you, “Thou hast devoured men, and made thy people childless!”

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

therefore thou shalt devour men no more, and no more make thy people childless, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

Neither will I cause the reproach of the nations to be heard against thee any more, neither shalt thou bear the derision of the nations any more, neither shalt thou make thy nation childless any more, saith the lord Jehovah.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Moreover, the word of Jehovah 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, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings; their way before me was as the impurity of an unclean woman.

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

Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood which they had shed in the land, and because they had polluted it with their idols.

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

And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries; according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

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

And when they came to the nations whither they went, they polluted my holy name, in that it was said of them, “These are the people of Jehovah, and they are gone forth out of his land.”

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

Therefore I will have regard to my holy name, which the house of Israel have polluted among the nations whither they are gone.

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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Not for your own sakes do I this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have polluted among the nations whither ye are gone.

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 hath been polluted among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in regard to you, before their eyes, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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

For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.

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

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. From all your uncleanness and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

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

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take out of your body the heart of stone, and I 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 within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my commandments and do them.

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

And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

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

And I will save you from all your uncleanness. And I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and bring no 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 tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

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

Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings which were not good, and ye shall loathe yourselves for your iniquities, 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 own sakes do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known to you. Be ye 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, then will I cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places to be rebuilt;

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

and the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

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

Then shall it be said, “This land, that was desolate, is become as the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.”

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

Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, Jehovah, have built that which was ruined, and planted that which was desolate. I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.

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

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Yet will I listen to the house of Israel, and do this for them. I will increase

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

them with men like a flock; as the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
