< حِزْقِيال 15 >
وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، بِمَاذَا يَفْضُلُ عُودُ الْكَرْمِ عَلَى كُلِّ عُودٍ آخَرَ أَوْ عَلَى غُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِ شَجَرِ الْغَابَةِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?
أَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ قَضِيبٌ لِيُصْنَعَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ مَا؟ أَوْ يَخْتَارُونَ مِنْهُ وَتَداً يُعَلَّقُ عَلَيْهِ إِنَاءٌ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
إِنَّمَا يُطْرَحُ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ النَّارُ طَرَفَيْهِ وَتَجْعَلُ وَسَطَهُ فَحْماً، أَيَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِشَيْءٍ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?
فَإِنْ كَانَ وَهُوَ سَلِيمٌ لَمْ يَصْلُحْ لِعَمَلٍ مَا، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى بَعْدَ أَنِ الْتَهَمَتْهُ النِّيرَانُ وَاحْتَرَقَ؟ أَيَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِصُنْعِ شَيْءٍ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، كَمَا جَعَلْتُ عُودَ الْكَرْمِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَشْجَارِ الْغَابَةِ وَقُوداً لِلنَّارِ، هَكَذَا أَجْعَلُ أَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَطَباً لَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
وَأَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا خَرَجُوا مِنْ نَارٍ تَلْتَهِمُهُمْ نَارٌ أُخْرَى، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.
وَأَجْعَلُ الأَرْضَ مُقْفِرَةً لأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا عَهْدِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٨ 8 |
And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the Lord GOD.'
