حِزْقِيال 12

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

The LORD’s word also 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, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious 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.

“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

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

You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.

٥ 5 انْقُبْ لَكَ حَائِطاً أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَاخْرُجْ مِنْهُ.

Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.

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

In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for 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.

I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ فِي الصَّبَاحِ أُعْلِنَتْ لِي كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?’

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

“Say to them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel amongst whom they are.”’

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

“Say, ‘I am your sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into 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.

“‘The prince who is amongst them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.

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

I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

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

I will scatter towards every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.

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

“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them amongst the nations and scatter them through 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».

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations amongst the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.

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.

Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.

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

The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

The LORD’s word 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 this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?

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،

Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.

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

For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house 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 am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”

٢٦ 26 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Again the LORD’s word 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, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far 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 tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
