حِزْقِيَال 6

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

A message from the Lord came to me that said,

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

“Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains 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.

Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and destroy your high places.

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

Your pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their idols.

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

I will put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your 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،

Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.

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

People will be killed all throughout your country. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

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

However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.

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،

Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.

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

Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster 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: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.

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

Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards 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 the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered sweet-smelling 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'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
