حِزْقِيَال 6

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

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

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا

“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.

٣ 3 وَقُلْ: يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْجِبَالِ وَلِلْآكَامِ، لِلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَلِلْأَوْطِئَةِ: هَأَنَذَا أَنَا جَالِبٌ عَلَيْكُمْ سَيْفًا، وَأُبِيدُ مُرْتَفَعَاتِكُمْ.

You are to say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

٤ 4 فَتَخْرَبُ مَذَابِحُكُمْ، وَتَتَكَسَّرُ شَمْسَاتُكُمْ، وَأَطْرَحُ قَتْلَاكُمْ قُدَّامَ أَصْنَامِكُمْ.

Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.

٥ 5 وَأَضَعُ جُثَثَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قُدَّامَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، وَأُذَرِّي عِظَامَكُمْ حَوْلَ مَذَابِحِكُمْ.

I will lay the corpses of the Israelites before their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.

٦ 6 فِي كُلِّ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ تُقْفِرُ ٱلْمُدُنُ، وَتَخْرَبُ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ، لِكَيْ تُقْفِرَ وَتَخْرَبَ مَذَابِحُكُمْ، وَتَنْكَسِرَ وَتَزُولَ أَصْنَامُكُمْ، وَتُقْطَعَ شَمْسَاتُكُمْ، وَتُمْحَى أَعْمَالُكُمْ،

Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.

٧ 7 وَتَسْقُطُ ٱلْقَتْلَى فِي وَسْطِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

٨ 8 «وَأُبْقِي بَقِيَّةً، إِذْ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ نَاجُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ عِنْدَ تَذَرِّيكُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

Yet I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.

٩ 9 وَٱلنَّاجُونَ مِنْكُمْ يَذْكُرُونَنِي بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسْبَوْنَ إِلَيْهِمْ، إِذَا كَسَرْتُ قَلْبَهُمُ ٱلزَّانِيَ ٱلَّذِي حَادَ عَنِّي، وَعُيُونَهُمُ ٱلزَّانِيَةَ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، وَمَقَتُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلشُّرُورِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا فِي كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ،

Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.

١٠ 10 وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، لَمْ أَقُلْ بَاطِلًا إِنِّي أَفْعَلُ بِهِمْ هَذَا ٱلشَّرَّ.

And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.

١١ 11 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱضْرِبْ بِيَدِكَ وَٱخْبِطْ بِرِجْلِكَ، وَقُلْ: آهِ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، حَتَّى يَسْقُطُوا بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَبِالْجُوعِ وَبِالْوَبَإِ!

This is what the Lord GOD says: Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, who will fall by sword and famine and plague.

١٢ 12 اَلْبَعِيدُ يَمُوتُ بِٱلْوَبَإِ، وَٱلْقَرِيبُ يَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَٱلْبَاقِي وَٱلْمُنْحَصِرُ يَمُوتُ بِٱلْجُوعِ، فَأُتَمِّمُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ.

He who is far off will die by the plague, he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains will die by famine. So I will vent My fury upon them.

١٣ 13 فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، إِذَا كَانَتْ قَتْلَاهُمْ وَسْطِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ حَوْلَ مَذَابِحِهِمْ عَلَى كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ، وَفِي رُؤُوسِ كُلِّ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ بَلُّوطَةٍ غَبْيَاءَ، ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي قَرَّبُوا فِيهِ رَائِحَةَ سُرُورٍ لِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِهِمْ.

Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and leafy oak—the places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.

١٤ 14 وَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُصَيِّرُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مُقْفِرَةً وَخَرِبَةً مِنَ ٱلْقَفْرِ إِلَى دَبْلَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
