حِزْقِيال 14
| وَحَضَرَ إِلَيَّ بَعْضُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي، | ١ 1 |
Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down before me.
| فَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٢ 2 |
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالَ قَدْ نَصَبُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَأَقَامُوا مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِمْ تِلْقَاءَ وُجُوهِهِمْ، أَفَأُجِيبُ عَنْ سُؤَالِهِمْ؟ | ٣ 3 |
“Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَصَبَ أَصْنَامَهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَقَامَ مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ أُجِيبُ ذَلِكَ الْوَافِدَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ أَصْنَامِهِ، | ٤ 4 |
Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,
| لِكَيْ أَسْتَأْسِرَ قُلُوبَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً، لأَنَّهُمُ ارْتَدُّوا عَنِّي بِالْغِوَايَةِ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: تُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا عَنْ أَصْنَامِكُمْ وَاصْرِفُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ رَجَاسَتِكُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away from all your abominations.
| لأَنَّ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الدُّخَلاءِ الْقَاطِنِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذَا ارْتَدَّ عَنِّي وَنَصَبَ أَصْنَامَهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَقَامَ مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمِهِ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ حَضَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ لِيَسْأَلَهُ عَنِّي، فَإِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ أُجِيبُهُ بِذَاتِي. | ٧ 7 |
For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.
| وَأَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَأَجْعَلُهُ عِبْرَةً وَمَثَلاً، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِي، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. | ٨ 8 |
I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
| فَإِذَا ضَلَّ النَّبِيُّ وَنَطَقَ بِنُبُوءَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَغْوَيْتُ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ، لأَنَّهُ تَصَرَّفَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ. فَأُعَاقِبُهُ وَأُبِيدُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ 9 |
But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
| وَيَنَالُونَ عِقَابَ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيَكُونُ ذَنْبُ النَّبِيِّ مُمَاثِلاً لِذَنْبِ السَّائِلِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—
| لِكَيْ لَا يَضِلَّ عَنِّي شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَعْدُ، وَيَتَنَجَّسُوا بِآثَامِهِمْ، وَإِنَّمَا يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ١١ 11 |
in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”
| ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٢ 12 |
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِذَا أَخْطَأَتْ إِلَيَّ أَرْضٌ وَخَانَتْ عَهْدِي، أُعَاقِبُهَا وَأُعْوِزُهَا مَؤُونَةَ الْخُبْزِ وَأُشِيعُ فِيهَا الْجُوعَ، وَأُفْنِي مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ، | ١٣ 13 |
“Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both man and beast,
| وَحَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ فِيهَا هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ: نُوحٌ وَدَانِيالُ وَأَيُّوبُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ وَحْدَهُمْ فَقَطْ بِبِرِّهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.
| وَإِنْ أَطْلَقْتُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وُحُوشاً ضَارِيَةً فَأَقْفَرْتُهَا، وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَطْلالاً لَا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا عَابِرٌ خَوْفاً مِنَ الْوُحُوشِ، | ١٥ 15 |
Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear of the beasts,
| وَكَانَ يُقِيمُ فِيهَا هَؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةُ الرِّجَالُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ أَبْنَاءَ لَهَا وَبَنَاتٍ. إِنَّمَا هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ، وَتَصِيرُ الأَرْضُ مُوْحِشَةً. | ١٦ 16 |
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
| وَإذَا جَلَبْتُ سَيْفاً عَلَى تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وَقُلْتُ: يَا سَيْفُ اعْبُرْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَافْنِهَا وَأَبَدْتُ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ، | ١٧ 17 |
Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both man and beast,
| وَكَانَ يُقِيمُ فِيهَا هَؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةُ الرِّجَالُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ أَبْنَاءَ لَهَا وَبَنَاتٍ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ. | ١٨ 18 |
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.
| إِذَا أَفْشَيْتُ وَبَأً فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ، وَسَكَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا غَضَبِي بِسَفْكِ الدَّمِ لأُفْنِيَ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ، | ١٩ 19 |
Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast,
| وَكَانَ يُقِيمُ فِيهَا هَؤُلاءِ الثَّلاثَةُ الرِّجَالُ، فَحَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى إِنْقَاذِ ابْنٍ لَهَا أَوِ ابْنَةٍ، إِنَّمَا يَخْلُصُونَ وَحْدَهُمْ فَقَطْ بِبِرِّهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.
| فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى يَحْدُثُ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتُ أَحْكَامِي الأَرْبَعَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ: الْحَرْبَ وَالْمَجَاعَةَ وَالْوُحُوشَ الضَّارِيَةَ وَالْوَبَاءَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأُبِيدَ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ. | ٢١ 21 |
For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both man and beast?
| وَلَكِنْ سَتَبْقَى فِيهَا بَقِيَّةٌ نَاجِيَةٌ مِنْ أَبْنَاءَ وَبَنَاتٍ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا، فَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتَشْهَدُونَ حُسْنَ سُلُوكِهِمْ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ فَتَتَعَزَّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَصَائِبِ الَّتِي أَوْقَعْتُهَا بِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَعَنْ جَمِيعِ مَا ابْتَلَيْتُهَا بِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يُعَزُّونَكُمْ حِينَ تَشْهَدُونَ حُسْنَ سُلُوكِهِمْ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ فِيهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَبَثاً، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٢٣ 23 |
They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
