حِزْقِيال 11

١ 1 ثُمَّ حَلَّقَ بِي الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلاً، شَاهَدْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ الشَّعْبِ.

Then a spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward; and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجَالُ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ، الْمُتَآمِرُونَ بِمَشُورَةِ السُّوءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ،

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;

٣ 3 الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَمْ يَحِنِ الْوَقْتُ لِنَبْنِيَ حُصُوناً؟ فَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ هِيَ كَالْقِدْرِ (أَيْ كَسُورٍ حَوْلَنَا) وَنَحْنُ كَاللَّحْمِ. (أَيْ كَالْمُحْتَمِينَ بِالسُّورِ).

that say: The time is not near to build houses! this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

٤ 4 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ!»

Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.'

٥ 5 وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. هَذَا مَا تَحَدَّثْتُمْ بِهِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِمَا يَدُورُ فِي خَلَدِكُمْ.

And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said unto me: 'Speak: Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

٦ 6 لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ قَتْلاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَوَارِعَهَا.

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ قَتْلاكُمُ الَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسَطِهَا هُمُ اللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ الْقِدْرُ، وَسَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.

٨ 8 قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لِذَلِكَ أَجْلِبُ السَّيْفَ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

Ye have feared the sword; and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord GOD.

٩ 9 وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى قَبْضَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، وَأُنَفِّذُ فِيكُمْ أَحْكَاماً،

And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

١٠ 10 فَتُقْتَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ. وَأُنَفِّذُ قَضَاءً فِيكُمْ فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

Ye shall fall by the sword: I will judge you upon the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

١١ 11 لَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لَكُمْ قِدْراً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَنْ تَكُونُوا اللَّحْمَ فِي وَسَطِهَا. بَلْ أُنَفِّذُ قَضَائِي فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Though this city shall not be your caldron, ye shall be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you upon the border of Israel;

١٢ 12 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا أَحْكَامَهُ بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى مُمَارَسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ».

and ye shall know that I am the LORD; for ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have ye executed Mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.'

١٣ 13 وَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَتُبِيدُ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?'

١٤ 14 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

١٥ 15 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لإِخْوَتِكَ، وَأَقْرِبَائِكَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الشَّتَاتِ مَعَكَ، الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِذْ لَنَا قَدْ وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثاً.

'Son of man, as for thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, concerning whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get you far from the LORD! unto us is this land given for a possession;

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ بَيْنَ الْبِلادِ، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِساً صَغِيراً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَبَدَّدُوا فِيهَا.

therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are come;

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: سَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَمِنَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِيهَا وَأَهَبُكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

١٨ 18 وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَزِعُونَ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ أَوْثَانِهَا الْمَمْقُوتَةِ وَرَجَاسَاتِهَا،

And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

١٩ 19 وَأُعْطِيهِمْ جَمِيعاً قَلْباً وَاحِداً، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ رُوحاً جَدِيداً، وَأُزِيلُ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ. وَأَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِقَلْبٍ مِنْ لَحْمٍ،

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

٢٠ 20 لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيُطِيعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيُمَارِسُوهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

that they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا الَّذِينَ ضَلَّتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ عِقَابَ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.'

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا مَعَ الْعَجَلاتِ وَمَعَ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

٢٣ 23 وَارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَدِينَةِ.

And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

٢٤ 24 وَحَلَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي، فِي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا لِي رُوحُ اللهِ، إِلَى أَرْضِ الْجَلاءِ فِي بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنِّي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا،

And a spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from Me.

٢٥ 25 فَأَبْلَغْتُ أَهْلَ السَّبْيِ بِجَمِيعِ الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ.

Then I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
