حِزْقِيال 12

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَنْتَ مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ، لَهُمْ عُيُونٌ لِيَرَوْا وَلَكِنْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَلَكِنْ لَا يُصْغُونَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.

٣ 3 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَتَأَهَّبْ لِلسَّبْيِ وَاخْرُجْ نَهَاراً عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُمْ وَامْضِ مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْهَمُونَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

Thou therefore, son of man, prepare thyself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and thou shalt be led into captivity from thy place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.

٤ 4 فَتُخْرِجُ مَتَاعَكَ، مَتَاعَ السَّفَرِ نَهَاراً عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ تُغَادِرُ أَنْتَ مَسَاءً أَمَامَهُمْ كَالذَّاهِبِينَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ.

And thou shalt carry forth thy baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.

٥ 5 انْقُبْ لَكَ حَائِطاً أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَاخْرُجْ مِنْهُ.

Dig for thyself into the wall [of the house], and thou shalt pass through it in their sight:

٦ 6 وَعَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ احْمِلْ مَتَاعَكَ عَلَى كَتِفِكَ وَانْقُلْهُ عِنْدَ الْعَتْمَةِ. غَطِّ وَجْهَكَ لِكَيْ لَا تَرَى الأَرْضَ لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُكَ آيَةً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

thou shalt be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shalt go forth in secret: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: because I have made thee a sign to the house of Israel.

٧ 7 فَفَعَلْتُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ نَهَاراً مَتَاعِي. وَعِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ نَقَبْتُ الْحَائِطَ بِيَدِي وَنَقَلْتُ أَحْمَالِي عَلَى كَتِفِي عِنْدَ الْعَتْمَةِ أَمَامَهُمْ.

And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ فِي الصَّبَاحِ أُعْلِنَتْ لِي كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,

٩ 9 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟

Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee, What doest thou?

١٠ 10 أَبْلِغْهُمْ مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ رَئِيسِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكَافَّةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

Say to them, Thus saith the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:

١١ 11 قُلْ لَهُمْ: أَنَا آيَةٌ لَكُمْ. فَكَمَا صَنَعْتُ يُصْنَعُ بِهِمْ، فَيَذْهَبُونَ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَلاءِ وَإِلَى السَّبْيِ.

say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.

١٢ 12 وَيَحْمِلُ الرَّئِيسُ الْمُتَوَلِّي شُؤُونَهُمْ أَحْمَالَهُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ فِي الْعَتْمَةِ وَيَخْرُجُ. وَتُنْقَبُ لَهُ ثُغْرَةٌ فِي الْحَائِطِ لِيَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا وَهُوَ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ لِئَلّا يَرَى الأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ.

And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.

١٣ 13 وَأَبْسُطُ شَبَكَتِي عَلَيْهِ فَيَقَعُ فِي شَرَكِي، وَأُحْضِرُهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يَرَاهَا، هُنَاكَ يَمُوتُ.

And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

١٤ 14 وَأُبَدِّدُ حَاشِيَتَهُ وَأَعْوَانَهُ وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ بِسَيْفٍ مَسْلُولٍ.

And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;

١٥ 15 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُشَتِّتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي الْبِلادِ.

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.

١٦ 16 وَأُبْقِي عَلَى فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ مِنْهُمْ أُنَجِّيهَا مِنَ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ، لِكَيْ يُحَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي فَرَّقْتُهُمْ فِيهَا فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١٨ 18 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ خُبْزَكَ بِارْتِعَاشٍ، وَاشْرَبْ مَاءَكَ بِارْتِعَادٍ وَخَوْفٍ،

Son of man, eat thy bread with sorrow, and drink [thy] water with torment and affliction.

١٩ 19 وَقُلْ لِشَعْبِ الأَرْضِ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزَهُمْ بِفَزَعٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مَاءَهُمْ بِارْتِعَادٍ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ تُقْفِرُ مِنْ قَاطِنِيهَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ ظُلْمِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا.

And thou shalt say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.

٢٠ 20 وَيُصِيبُ الْمُدُنَ الآهِلَةَ الْخَرَابُ. وَتُوْحِشُ الأَرْضُ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢٢ 22 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَا هَذَا الْمَثَلُ الشَّائِعُ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقَائِلُ: قَدْ طَالَتِ الأَيَّامُ وَكَذِبَتْ كُلُّ رُؤْيَا؟

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that ye say, The days are long, the vision has perished?

٢٣ 23 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَبْطَلْتُ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ فَلا يَعُودُونَ يُرَدِّدُونَهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدْ أَزِفَتِ الأَيَّامُ وَحَانَ تَحْقِيقُ كَلامِ كُلِّ رُؤْيَا،

Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for thou shalt say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.

٢٤ 24 إِذْ لَنْ تَكُونَ بَعْدُ رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةٌ وَلا عِرَافَةٌ مُتَمَلِّقَةٌ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.

٢٥ 25 لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي أَقْضِي بِها تَتِمُّ، مِنْ غَيْرِ مُمَاطَلَةٍ، بَلْ هَا أَنَا أَنْطِقُ بِقَضَائِي فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ وَأُنَفِّذُهُ فِي حِينِهِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], saith the Lord.

٢٦ 26 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢٧ 27 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَرَاهَا لَا تَتِمُّ إِلا بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَنُبُوءَتَكَ لَا تَتَحَقَّقُ إِلا فِي أَزْمِنَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

٢٨ 28 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لَنْ يَتَأَخَّرَ بَعْدُ تَنْفِيذُ كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَلامِي الَّذِي قَضَيْتُ بِهِ، فَكُلُّ كَلِمَةٍ نَطَقْتُ بِها لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتِمَّ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, saith the Lord.
