حِزْقِيَال 8

١ 1 وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِي، وَمَشَايِخُ يَهُوذَا جَالِسُونَ أَمَامِي، أَنَّ يَدَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.

٢ 2 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا شِبْهٌ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ، مِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى تَحْتُ نَارٌ، وَمِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ كَمَنْظَرِ لَمَعَانٍ كَشِبْهِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱللّاَمِعِ.

And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.

٣ 3 وَمَدَّ شِبْهَ يَدٍ وَأَخَذَنِي بِنَاصِيَةِ رَأْسِي، وَرَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، حَيْثُ مَجْلِسُ تِمْثَالِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ، ٱلْمُهَيِّجِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ.

And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.

٤ 4 وَإِذَا مَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَاكَ مِثْلُ ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا فِي ٱلْبُقْعَةِ.

And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ». فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا مِنْ شِمَالِيِّ بَابِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تِمْثَالُ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ هَذَا فِي ٱلْمَدْخَلِ.

And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.

٦ 6 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ ٱلَّتِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَامِلُهَا هُنَا لِإِبْعَادِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي. وَبَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ».

And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِي إِلَى بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا ثَقْبٌ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ.

And he brought me to the porch of the court.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱنْقُبْ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ». فَنَقَبْتُ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ.

And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.

٩ 9 وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱدْخُلْ وَٱنْظُرِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةَ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا هُنَا».

And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.

١٠ 10 فَدَخَلْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا كُلُّ شَكْلِ دَبَّابَاتٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ نَجِسٍ، وَكُلُّ أَصْنَامٍ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ عَلَى دَائِرِهِ.

So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.

١١ 11 وَوَاقِفٌ قُدَّامَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَازَنْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَعِطْرُ عَنَانِ ٱلْبَخُورِ صَاعِدٌ.

And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَخَادِعِ تَصَاوِيرِهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرَانَا! ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَرَكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ!».

And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.

١٣ 13 وَقَالَ لِي: «بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا».

And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.

١٤ 14 فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا هُنَاكَ نِسْوَةٌ جَالِسَاتٌ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى تَمُّوزَ.

And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ».

And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these.

١٦ 16 فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ بَابِ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ، نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا ظُهُورُهُمْ نَحْوَ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَهُمْ سَاجِدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.

١٧ 17 وَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَقَلِيلٌ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَمَلُ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا هُنَا؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ظُلْمًا وَيَعُودُونَ لِإِغَاظَتِي، وَهَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ٱلْغُصْنَ إِلَى أَنْفِهِمْ.

And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.

١٨ 18 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُعَامِلُ بِٱلْغَضَبِ، لَا تُشْفُقُ عَيْنِي وَلَا أَعْفُو. وَإِنْ صَرَخُوا فِي أُذُنَيَّ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ لَا أَسْمَعُهُمْ».

Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
