وَحَضَرَ إِلَيَّ بَعْضُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي، ١ 1
Now certain men of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
فَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: ٢ 2
And the word of Jehovah 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 their idols in their heart, and have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face; shall I hear them when they inquire of me?
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 with them, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, —I, Jehovah, will answer him according to the multitude of his idols;
لِكَيْ أَسْتَأْسِرَ قُلُوبَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثَانِيَةً، لأَنَّهُمُ ارْتَدُّوا عَنِّي بِالْغِوَايَةِ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. ٥ 5
that I may lay hold of the house of Israel in their hearts, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: تُوبُوا وَارْجِعُوا عَنْ أَصْنَامِكُمْ وَاصْرِفُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ رَجَاسَتِكُمْ. ٦ 6
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye, even turn yourselves from your idols, and from all your abominations turn ye your faces!
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 every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me through him, —I, Jehovah, will answer him by myself.
وَأَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَأَجْعَلُهُ عِبْرَةً وَمَثَلاً، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِي، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. ٨ 8
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
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
And when the prophet is deceived when he speaketh anything, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
وَيَنَالُونَ عِقَابَ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيَكُونُ ذَنْبُ النَّبِيِّ مُمَاثِلاً لِذَنْبِ السَّائِلِ. ١٠ 10
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that inquireth of him;
لِكَيْ لَا يَضِلَّ عَنِّي شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَعْدُ، وَيَتَنَجَّسُوا بِآثَامِهِمْ، وَإِنَّمَا يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». ١١ 11
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: ١٢ 12
Again the word of Jehovah 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, when a land sinneth against me, and grievously transgresseth, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
وَحَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ فِيهَا هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ: نُوحٌ وَدَانِيالُ وَأَيُّوبُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَخْلُصُونَ وَحْدَهُمْ فَقَطْ بِبِرِّهِمْ. ١٤ 14
though these three men were in it, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
وَإِنْ أَطْلَقْتُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وُحُوشاً ضَارِيَةً فَأَقْفَرْتُهَا، وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَطْلالاً لَا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا عَابِرٌ خَوْفاً مِنَ الْوُحُوشِ، ١٥ 15
When I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, and it be desolate so that none passeth through it because 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
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.
وَإذَا جَلَبْتُ سَيْفاً عَلَى تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وَقُلْتُ: يَا سَيْفُ اعْبُرْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَافْنِهَا وَأَبَدْتُ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ، ١٧ 17
Or when I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land so that I cut off from it 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
though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves.
إِذَا أَفْشَيْتُ وَبَأً فِي تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ، وَسَكَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا غَضَبِي بِسَفْكِ الدَّمِ لأُفْنِيَ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ، ١٩ 19
Or when I send a pestilence upon that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it 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
though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should deliver only themselves by their righteousness.
فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى يَحْدُثُ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتُ أَحْكَامِي الأَرْبَعَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ: الْحَرْبَ وَالْمَجَاعَةَ وَالْوُحُوشَ الضَّارِيَةَ وَالْوَبَاءَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لأُبِيدَ مِنْهَا النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ. ٢١ 21
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more, when I send my four grievous judgments against Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it 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, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings, and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all which I have brought upon her.
عِنْدَئِذٍ يُعَزُّونَكُمْ حِينَ تَشْهَدُونَ حُسْنَ سُلُوكِهِمْ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا صَنَعْتُهُ فِيهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَبَثاً، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». ٢٣ 23
They shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings; and ye shall know that not without cause I have done all that I have done to her, saith the Lord Jehovah.
