حِزْقِيَال 7

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: نِهَايَةٌ! قَدْ جَاءَتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ عَلَى زَوَايَا ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِ.

“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the people living in Israel: The end is here! The end has arrived throughout the country.

٣ 3 اَلْآنَ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ عَلَيْكِ، وَأُرْسِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأَحْكُمُ عَلَيْكِ كَطُرُقِكِ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ كُلَّ رَجَاسَاتِكِ.

Now is the end for you! I'm going to direct my anger against you. I'm judging you for your actions and will pay you back for the offensive things you've done.

٤ 4 فَلَا تَشْفُقُ عَلَيْكِ عَيْنِي، وَلَا أَعْفُو، بَلْ أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ طُرُقَكِ وَتَكُونُ رَجَاسَاتُكِ فِي وَسْطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

I won't have any pity for you, or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you'll know that I am the Lord.

٥ 5 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: شَرٌّ! شَرٌّ وَحِيدٌ هُوَذَا قَدْ أَتَى.

This is what the Lord God says: Watch out! Disaster after disaster is coming!

٦ 6 نِهَايَةٌ قَدْ جَاءَتْ. جَاءَتِ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ. ٱنْتَبَهَتْ إِلَيْكِ. هَا هِيَ قَدْ جَاءَتْ.

The end is here! The end has come, and it's coming for you! Watch out! This is the end!

٧ 7 ٱنْتَهَى ٱلدَّوْرُ إِلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. بَلَغَ ٱلْوَقْتُ. ٱقْتَرَبَ يَوْمُ ٱضْطِرَابٍ، لَا هُتَافُ ٱلْجِبَالِ.

You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.

٨ 8 اَلْآنَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ أَصُبُّ رِجْزِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأُتَمِّمُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأَحْكُمُ عَلَيْكِ كَطُرُقِكِ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ كُلَّ رَجَاسَاتِكِ.

Very shortly I'm going to show you how angry I am with you. I will judge you by what you have done, and punish you for all your disgusting sins.

٩ 9 فَلَا تَشْفُقُ عَيْنِي، وَلَا أَعْفُو، بَلْ أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكِ كَطُرُقِكِ، وَرَجَاسَاتُكِ تَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِكِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلضَّارِبُ.

I won't have any pity for you or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is attacking you.

١٠ 10 «هَا هُوَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ، هَا هُوَذَا قَدْ جَاءَ! دَارَتِ ٱلدَّائِرَةُ. أَزْهَرَتِ ٱلْعَصَا. أَفْرَخَتِ ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءُ.

Can't you see? The day is here! It has arrived! The consequences of your actions have come full circle—the walking stick has blossomed, pride has come into full bloom.

١١ 11 قَامَ ٱلظُّلْمُ إِلَى عَصَا ٱلشَّرِّ. لَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ وَلَا مِنْ ثَرْوَتِهِمْ وَلَا مِنْ ضَجِيجِهِمْ، وَلَا نَوْحٌ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Their way of violence has turned into a rod to punish them for their wickedness. None of them will survive—none of that whole crowd, and none of their wealth or honor.

١٢ 12 قَدْ جَاءَ ٱلْوَقْتُ. بَلَغَ ٱلْيَوْمُ. فَلَا يَفْرَحَنَّ ٱلشَّارِي، وَلَا يَحْزَنَنَّ ٱلْبَائِعُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَضَبَ عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِهِمْ.

The time has come; the day is here! Buyers, don't celebrate thinking you'll get a good deal; sellers, don't cry thinking you're going to make a loss—because punishment is coming to everyone.

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّ ٱلْبَائِعَ لَنْ يَعُودَ إِلَى ٱلْمَبِيعِ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا بَعْدُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّؤْيَا عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِهَا فَلَا يَعُودُ، وَٱلْإِنْسَانُ بِإِثْمِهِ لَا يُشَدِّدُ حَيَاتَهُ.

Sellers won't ever get back the purchase price while they're still alive. I'm not going to change the plan I have revealed that applies to everyone. People who go on sinning won't survive.

١٤ 14 قَدْ نَفَخُوا فِي ٱلْبُوقِ وَأَعَدُّوا ٱلْكُلَّ، وَلَا ذَاهِبَ إِلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ، لِأَنَّ غَضَبِي عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِهِمْ.

Even though the trumpet call to arms has sounded, even though all the preparations have been made, no one is ready to fight, because I am angry with everyone.

١٥ 15 «اَلسَّيْفُ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَٱلْوَبَأُ وَٱلْجُوعُ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ. ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ يَمُوتُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَأْكُلُهُ ٱلْجُوعُ وَٱلْوَبَأُ.

Outside the city are armed attacks; inside are disease and starvation. Those in the countryside will be killed by the sword, and those in the city will be destroyed by starvation and disease.

١٦ 16 وَيَنْفَلِتُ مِنْهُمْ مُنْفَلِتُونَ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَحَمَامِ ٱلْأَوْطِئَةِ. كُلُّهُمْ يَهْدِرُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى إِثْمِهِ.

Those who do survive will escape and go to live in the mountains. They will sigh like the doves of the valley, each person thinking about their own sins.

١٧ 17 كُلُّ ٱلْأَيْدِي تَرْتَخِي، وَكُلُّ ٱلرُّكَبِ تَصِيرُ مَاءً.

Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go weak.

١٨ 18 وَيَتَنَطَّقُونَ بِٱلْمَسْحِ وَيَغْشَاهُمْ رُعْبٌ، وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ خِزْيٌ، وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ رُؤُوسِهِمْ قَرَعٌ.

They will put on clothes made of sackcloth, and they will be totally terrified. They will all be ashamed and shave their heads in mourning.

١٩ 19 يُلْقُونَ فِضَّتَهُمْ فِي ٱلشَّوَارِعِ، وَذَهَبُهُمْ يَكُونُ لِنَجَاسَةٍ. لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ فِضَّتُهُمْ وَذَهَبُهُمْ إِنْقَاذَهُمْ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَا يُشْبِعُونَ مِنْهُمَا أَنْفُسَهُمْ، وَلَا يَمْلَأُونَ جَوْفَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمَا صَارَا مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِمْ.

They will throw away their silver in the streets and treat their gold as if it's something unclean. Their silver and gold won't be able to save them when the day of the Lord's anger comes. Their money won't satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs. In fact this was the problem that caused their sin in the first place.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا بَهْجَةُ زِينَتِهِ فَجَعَلَهَا لِلْكِبْرِيَاءِ. جَعَلُوا فِيهَا أَصْنَامَ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ، رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُهَا لَهُمْ نَجَاسَةً.

They were so proud of their beautiful jewelry that they used it to make their disgusting images and decorate their offensive idols. So I'm going to turn these idols into unclean things for them.

٢١ 21 أُسْلِمُهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ لِلنَّهْبِ، وَإِلَى أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ سَلْبًا فَيُنَجِّسُونَهَا.

I'm going to hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked people of the earth, who will make them unclean.

٢٢ 22 وَأُحَوِّلُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ فَيُنَجِّسُونَ سِرِّي، وَيَدْخُلُهُ ٱلْمُعْتَنِفُونَ وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ.

I will look away as they make my precious place unclean. Men of violence will enter and make it unclean.

٢٣ 23 «اِصْنَعِ ٱلسِّلْسِلَةَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ أَحْكَامِ ٱلدَّمِ، وَٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ.

Get the chains ready, because the country is full of blood being spilled by violent crimes, and the city itself is full of violence.

٢٤ 24 فَآتِي بِأَشَرِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ فَيَرِثُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَأُبِيدُ كِبْرِيَاءَ ٱلْأَشِدَّاءِ فَتَتَنَجَّسُ مَقَادِسُهُمْ.

So I'm going to bring the most evil of all the nations to take over their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the powerful, and their holy places will be made unclean.

٢٥ 25 اَلرُّعْبُ آتٍ فَيَطْلُبُونَ ٱلسَّلَامَ وَلَا يَكُونُ.

Absolutely terrified, the people will look for peace, but won't find it.

٢٦ 26 سَتَأْتِي مُصِيبَةٌ عَلَى مُصِيبَةٍ، وَيَكُونُ خَبَرٌ عَلَى خَبَرٍ، فَيَطْلُبُونَ رُؤْيَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، وَٱلشَّرِيعَةُ تُبَادُ عَنِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَٱلْمَشُورَةُ عَنِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ.

Disaster after disaster will come down on them, and rumor after rumor. They will ask for a vision from a prophet, but there won't be any, and there won't be any instructions from the priests or advice from the elders either.

٢٧ 27 ٱلْمَلِكُ يَنُوحُ وَٱلرَّئِيسُ يَلْبَسُ حَيْرَةً، وَأَيْدِي شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَرْجُفُ. كَطَرِيقِهِمْ أَصْنَعُ بِهِمْ، وَكَأَحْكَامِهِمْ أَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

The king will mourn, the prince will be devastated, and no one in the country will know what to do. I will do to them as they have done to others; I will judge them as they have judged others. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
