حِزْقِيال 20
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ (أَيْ تَمُّوزَ – يُولْيُو) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ بَعْضُ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَسْتَشِيروا الرَّبَّ، فَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي. | ١ 1 |
In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
| فَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٢ 2 |
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِشُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَلْ جِئْتُمْ لِتَسْتَشِيرُونِي؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، لَنْ أُتِيحَ لَكُمْ طَلَبَ الْمَشُورَةِ مِنِّي. | ٣ 3 |
“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’
| أَتَدِينُهُمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَتُحَاكِمُهُمْ؟ أَطْلِعْهُمْ عَلَى رَجَاسَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٤ 4 |
“Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.
| وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتُ فِيهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَلَفْتُ لِذُرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَأَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ عَنْ نَفْسِي فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، حَلَفْتُ لَهُمْ قَائِلاً: أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, ‘I am the LORD your God;’
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ أَنْ أُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي اسْتَكْشَفْتُهَا لَهُمْ، الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، فَخْرِ كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي، | ٦ 6 |
in that day I swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
| وَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: لِيَنْبِذْ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمُ الأَرْجَاسَ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلا تَتَدَنَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِ مِصْرَ؛ أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’
| وَلَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا الأَرْجَاسَ الَّتِي تُنَجِّسُ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَهْجُرُوا أَصْنَامَ مِصْرَ. فَقُلْتُ: سَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبِي وَأَنْفُثُ فِيهِمْ كَامِلَ سَخَطِي فِي وَسَطِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. | ٨ 8 |
“‘“But they rebelled against me and wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي تَصَرَّفْتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِي، لِئَلّا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي يَسْكُنُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَهَا. إِذْ أَعْلَنْتُ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ حِينَ أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
| وَهَكَذَا أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، | ١٠ 10 |
So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
| وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ فَرَائِضِي، وَأَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ أَحْكَامِي الَّتِي إِنْ مَارَسَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِها، | ١١ 11 |
I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.
| وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ كَذَلِكَ سُبُوتِي لِتَكُونَ عَلامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ لِيُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُهُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
| لَكِنَّ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلَمْ يُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضِي، وَتَنَكَّرُوا لأَحْكَامِي الَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَ بِها إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا، وَنَجَّسُوا أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي كَثِيراً. فَقُلْتُ: سَأَسْكُبُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ لأُمِيتَهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
“‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
| لَكِنَّنِي تَصَرَّفْتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِي، لِئَلّا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
| وَحَلَفْتُ لَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ بِأَنِّي لَنْ أَقُودَهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُمْ، الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، فَخْرِ الأَرَاضِي كُلِّهَا، | ١٥ 15 |
Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,
| لأَنَّهُمْ تَنَكَّرُوا لأَحْكَامِي وَلَمْ يُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضِي، بَلْ دَنَّسُوا أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي وَضَلَّ قَلْبُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
| وَلَكِنْ عَيْنِي تَرَأَّفَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ أُهْلِكْهُمْ وَلَمْ أُفْنِهِمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.
| وَأَوْصَيْتُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَلّا يَسْلُكُوا فِي طُرُقِ آبَائِهِمْ وَلا يُمَارِسُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ وَلا يَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
| أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فَاسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَاحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها. | ١٩ 19 |
I am the LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.
| وَقَدِّسُوا سُبُوتِي فَتَكُونَ عَلامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ | ٢٠ 20 |
Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’
| فَتَمَرَّدَ الأَبْنَاءُ عَلَيَّ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي لِيَعْمَلُوهَا الَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِها، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي. فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ لأُتِمَّ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
“‘“But the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
| وَلَكِنِّي كَفَفْتُ يَدِي عَنْهُمْ وَتَصَرَّفْتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِي، لِئَلّا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجْتُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
| وَحَلَفْتُ لَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَنْ أُفَرِّقَهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُشَتِّتَهُمْ عَبْرَ الْبُلْدَانِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,
| لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطَبِّقُوا أَحْكَامِي بَلْ تَنَكَّرُوا لِفَرَائِضِي وَدَنَّسُوا أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي وَتَعَلَّقَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ بِأَصْنَامِ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
| لِذَلِكَ أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ فَرَائِضَ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ وَأَحْكَاماً لَا يَحْيَوْنَ بِها. | ٢٥ 25 |
Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they couldn’t live.
| وَجَعَلْتُهُمْ يَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِعَطَايَاهُمْ إِذْ أَجَازُوا فِي النَّارِ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ لأُبِيدَهُمْ، حَتَّى يُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.”’
| لِهَذَا، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ إِذْ خَانُونِي أَشَدَّ خِيَانَةٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
“Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
| عِنْدَمَا جِئْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، وَرَأَوْا كُلَّ أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ وَارِفَةٍ، فَذَبَحُوا قَرَابِينَهُمْ هُنَاكَ وَقَرَّبُوا ذَبَائِحَهُمُ الْمُغِيظَةَ، وَأَصْعَدُوا تَقْدِمَاتٍ، رَوَائِحَ الرِّضَى وَسَكَبُوا سَكَائِبَ خَمْرِهِمْ، | ٢٨ 28 |
For when I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There they also made their pleasant aroma, and there they poured out their drink offerings.
| فَسَأَلْتُهُمْ: مَا هَذِهِ الْمُرْتَفَعَةُ الَّتِي تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا؟ فَدُعِيَتْ مَرْتَفَعَةً إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Then I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.”’
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَلْ دَنَّسْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَغَوَيْتُمْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِكُمُ الرَّجْسَةِ؟ | ٣٠ 30 |
“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
| إِنَّكُمْ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، حِينَ تُقَدِّمُونَ عَطَايَاكُمْ لِلأَوْثَانِ وَتُجِيزُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ فِي النَّارِ. فَهَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ لِطَلَبِ مَشُورَتِي يَا شَعْبَ إسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لَنْ أُتِيحَ لَكُمْ طَلَبَ مَشُورَتِي. | ٣١ 31 |
When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you!
| إِذْ لَنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ مَا يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ إِذْ تَقُولُونَ، لِنَكُنْ كَسَائِرِ قَبَائِلِ الأَرْضِ فَنَعْبُدَ الْخَشَبَ وَالْحَجَرَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
“‘“That which comes into your mind will not be at all, in that you say, ‘We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.’
| حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنِّي بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ قَدِيَرةٍ وَغَضَبٍ مَصْبُوبٍ أَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ، | ٣٣ 33 |
As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
| وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتُّمْ فِيهَا، بِيَدٍ قَويَّةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ قَدِيرَةٍ وَغَضَبٍ مَصْبُوبٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
| وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ الأُمَمِ فَأُحَاكِمُكُمْ هُنَاكَ مُوَاجَهَةً، | ٣٥ 35 |
I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
| وَكَمَا حَاكَمْتُ أَسْلافَكُمْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، أُحَاكِمُكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً. | ٣٦ 36 |
Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” says the Lord GOD.
| وَأُحْصِيكُمْ، وَأُدْخِلُكُمْ فِي مِيثَاقِ الْعَهْدِ، | ٣٧ 37 |
“I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
| وَأَعْزِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمُ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَالْعُصَاةَ عَلَيَّ، وَأُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. | ٣٨ 38 |
I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into Eretz-Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَامْضُوا وَلْيَعْبُدْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَصْنَامَهُ، وَلَكِنْ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، سَتَسْتَمِعُونَ حَتْماً لِي، وَلَنْ تُدَنِّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ بَعْدُ بِعَطَايَاكُمْ وَأَوْثَانِكُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
“‘As for you, house of Israel, the Lord GOD says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts and with your idols.
| لأَنَّهُ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الشَّامِخِ، هُنَاكَ يَعْبُدُنِي فِي الأَرْضِ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّهُمْ. هُنَاكَ أَرْضَى عَنْهُمْ وَأَلْتَمِسُ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَبَاكُورَةَ غَلّاتِكُمْ مَعَ جَمِيعِ مُقَدَّسَاتِكُمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
| وَأَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ كَرَائِحَةِ سُرُورٍ حِينَ أُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتُّمْ إِلَيْهَا، وَأَتَجَلَّى بِقَدَاسَتِي بَيْنَكُمْ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ. | ٤١ 41 |
I will accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
| فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَرُدُّكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
You will know that I am the LORD when I bring you into Eretz-Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
| هُنَاكَ تَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَ شَرِّكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمُ الَّتِي تَدَنَّسْتُمْ بِها، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا ارْتَكَبْتُمُوهُ مِنْ شُرُورٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
| فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُعَامِلُكُمْ، إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِي، لَا بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِكُمُ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَلا بِمُوْجِبِ أَعْمَالِكُمُ السَّيِّئَةِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٤٤ 44 |
You will know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.’”
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٤٥ 45 |
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ وَأَنْذِرْهُ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَرْضِ الْغَابَاتِ فِي النَّقَبِ | ٤٦ 46 |
“Son of man, set your face toward the south, and proclaim toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south.
| وَقُلْ لِغَابَاتِ النَّقَبِ: اسْمَعُوا قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ، فَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أُضْرِمُ نَاراً فِيكِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَيَابِسَةٍ، وَلا يَنْطَفِئُ لَهِيبُهَا الْمُتَأَجِّجُ، فَتَحْتَرِقُ بِها كُلُّ الْوُجُوهِ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى الشِّمَالِ. | ٤٧ 47 |
Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear the LORD’s word: The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
| فَيَرَى كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَضْرَمْتُهَا، وَلا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَنْطَفِئَ». | ٤٨ 48 |
All flesh will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.”’”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «آهٍ يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هُمْ يَقُولُونَ عَنِّي: أَمَا يَضْرِبُ هُوَ أَمْثَالاً فَقَطْ؟» | ٤٩ 49 |
Then I said, “Ah Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’”
