حِزْقِيَال 9
| وَصَرَخَ فِي سَمْعِي بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ قَائِلًا: «قَرِّبْ وُكَلَاءَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ وَعُدَّتَهُ ٱلْمُهْلِكَةَ بِيَدِهِ». | ١ 1 |
He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.
| وَإِذَا بِسِتَّةِ رِجَالٍ مُقْبِلِينَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْأَعْلَى ٱلَّذِي هُوَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عُدَّتُهُ ٱلسَّاحِقَةُ بِيَدِهِ، وَفِي وَسْطِهِمْ رَجُلٌ لَابِسٌ ٱلْكَتَّانَ، وَعَلَى جَانِبِهِ دَوَاةُ كَاتِبٍ. فَدَخَلُوا وَوَقَفُوا جَانِبَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ. | ٢ 2 |
And behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth towards the north, and every man a slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in and stood beside the brazen altar.
| وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صَعِدَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرُوبِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى عَتَبَةِ ٱلْبَيْتِ. فَدَعَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱللَّابِسَ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي دَوَاةُ ٱلْكَاتِبِ عَلَى جَانِبِهِ، | ٣ 3 |
And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which he was, to the threshhold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;
| وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱعْبُرْ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فِي وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَسِمْ سِمَةً عَلَى جِبَاهِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَئِنُّونَ وَيَتَنَهَّدُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلْمَصْنُوعَةِ فِي وَسْطِهَا». | ٤ 4 |
And the LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
| وَقَالَ لِأُولَئِكَ فِي سَمْعِي: «ٱعْبُرُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَرَاءَهُ وَٱضْرِبُوا. لَا تُشْفُقْ أَعْيُنُكُمْ وَلَا تَعْفُوا. | ٥ 5 |
And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
| اَلشَّيْخَ وَٱلشَّابَّ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءَ وَٱلطِّفْلَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ، ٱقْتُلُوا لِلْهَلَاكِ. وَلَا تَقْرُبُوا مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ عَلَيْهِ ٱلسِّمَةُ، وَٱبْتَدِئُوا مِنْ مَقْدِسِي». فَٱبْتَدَأُوا بِٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلْبَيْتِ. | ٦ 6 |
Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elderly men who [were] before the house.
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «نَجِّسُوا ٱلْبَيْتَ، وَٱمْلَأُوا ٱلدُّورَ قَتْلَى. ٱخْرُجُوا». فَخَرَجُوا وَقَتَلُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
| وَكَانَ بَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَقْتُلُونَ، وَأُبْقِيتُ أَنَا، أَنِّي خَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ وَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! هَلْ أَنْتَ مُهْلِكٌ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّهَا بِصَبِّ رِجْزِكَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ؟». | ٨ 8 |
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
| فَقَالَ لِي: «إِنَّ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا جِدًّا، وَقَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دِمَاءً، وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ جَنَفًا. لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَرَكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى. | ٩ 9 |
Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land [is] full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
| وَأَنَا أَيْضًا عَيْنِي لَا تَشْفُقُ وَلَا أَعْفُو. أَجْلِبُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
| وَإِذَا بِٱلرَّجُلِ ٱللَّابِسِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ ٱلَّذِي ٱلدَّوَاةُ عَلَى جَانِبِهِ رَدَّ جَوَابًا قَائِلًا: «قَدْ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي». | ١١ 11 |
And behold, the man clothed with linen, who [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
