حِزْقِيال 13

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكَذَبَةِ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.

"Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of the LORD:

٣ 3 وَيْلٌ لِلأَنْبِياءِ الْحَمْقَى الضَّالِّينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً.

Thus says the LORD, "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing.

٤ 4 أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هُمْ كَالثَّعَالِبِ فِي الْخَرَائِبِ.

Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

٥ 5 لَمْ تَبْرُزُوا إِلَى الثُّغْرَاتِ، وَلَمْ تُشَيِّدُوا جِدَاراً حَوْلَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَصْمُدُوا فِي الْقِتَالِ فِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ،

You have not gone up into the breaches, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD."

٦ 6 إِنَّمَا رُؤْيَاهُمْ بَاطِلَةٌ، وَعِرَافَتُهُمْ كَاذِبَةٌ. يَقُولُونَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَالرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَطْمَعُونَ فِي تَحْقِيقِ كَلِمَتِهِمْ.

They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, "The LORD says"; but the LORD has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

٧ 7 أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَنْطِقُوا بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

"Haven't you seen a false vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, "The LORD says"; but I have not spoken?

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بَاطِلاً وَادَّعَيْتُمْ رُؤْيَا كَاذِبَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Therefore thus says the LORD: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, look, I am against you, says the LORD.

٩ 9 فَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ ذَوِي الرُّؤْيَا الْبَاطِلَةِ وَالْعِرَافَةِ الْكَاذِبَةِ، فَلا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقَامٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِي، وَلا تُدَوَّنُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

١٠ 10 لأَنَّهُمْ حَقّاً أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلامٌ مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ سَلامٌ، فَكَانَ شَعْبِي يَبْنِي حَائِطاً وَهُمْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ.

Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, 'Peace'; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, look, they plaster it with whitewash:

١١ 11 قُلْ لِلطَّالِينَ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ: إِنَّ الْحَائِطَ يَتَدَاعَى، إِذْ يَنْهَمِرُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ. وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ الْبَرَدِ تَسَاقَطْنَ، وَلْتَعْصِفْ بِهِ رِيحٌ جَائِحَةٌ.

tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind break out.

١٢ 12 فَلا يَلْبَثُ السُّورُ أَنْ يَنْهَارَ أَفَلا تَسْأَلُونَ آنَئِذٍ: أَيْنَ الطِّينُ الَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

Look, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, 'Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?'

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رِيحاً عَاتِيَةً تَخْتَرِقُ السُّورَ بِفِعْلِ حَنَقِي، وَمَطَراً جَارِفاً يَنْهَمِرُ فِي خِضَمِّ غَضَبِي، وَحِجَارَةَ بَرَدٍ تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ سَخَطِي لِكَيْ تُهْلِكَ،

"'"Therefore thus says the LORD: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

١٤ 14 فَأَهْدِمُ السُّورَ الَّذِي طَلَيْتُمُوهُ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ وَأُسَوِّيهِ بِالأَرْضِ فَيَتَعَرَّى أَسَاسُهُ وَتَتَدَاعَى الْمَدِينَةُ وَتَفْنَوْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي وَسَطِهَا فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

١٥ 15 فَأَنْفُثُ غَضَبِي بِالسُّورِ وَبِمَنْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَدْ تَلاشَى السُّورُ وَالَّذِينَ يَطْلُونَهُ.

Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, 'The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

١٦ 16 الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَدْعِيَاءُ، الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلامٍ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا سَلامَ هُنَاكَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,'"' says Jehovah."

١٧ 17 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَالْتَفِتْ نَحْوَ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ الْمُتَنَبِّئَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

"You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

١٨ 18 وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْخَائِطَاتِ الْعَصَائِبَ السِّحْرِيَّةَ لِكُلِّ مَعَاصِمِ الأَيْدِي وَالأَنْقَابَ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لاصْطِيَادِ النُّفُوسِ. أَنْتُنَّ تَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوسَكُنَّ

and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls. Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

١٩ 19 فَتُدَنِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِقَاءَ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ وَفُتَاتِ خُبْزٍ حَتَّى تُمِتْنَ نُفُوساً مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَلِكَيْ تَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوساً أُخْرَى لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَنْ تَحْيَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي السَّامِعِ لِلْكَذِبِ.

You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies."

٢٠ 20 لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَنَا ضِدُّ عَصَائِبِكُنَّ السِّحْرِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِها النُّفُوسَ كَفِرَاخِ الطَّيْرِ، سَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُحَرِّرُ النُّفُوسَ الَّتِي اصْطَدْتُمُوهَا فَتَطِيرُ.

"'Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.

٢١ 21 وَأُمَزِّقُ أَنْقَابَكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلا يَظَلُّونَ بَعْدُ فِي قَبْضَتِكُنَّ فَرِيسَةً، فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

٢٢ 22 لأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ الصِّدِّيقِ بَأَكَاذِيبِكُنَّ، مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ عَزَائِمَ الشِّرِّيرِ لِئَلّا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَيَحْيَا.

Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

٢٣ 23 لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَلا تُمَارِسْنَ الْعِرَافَةَ بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am the LORD."'"
