حِزْقِيال 22
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
| «وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَدِينُ الْمَدِينَةَ السَّافِكَةَ الدِّمَاءِ؟ إِذاً عَرِّفْهَا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهَا، | ٢ 2 |
And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations?
| وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي تَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ فِي وَسَطِهَا لِتَسْتَجْلِبَ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، الَّتِي تَصْنَعُ لِنَفْسِهَا أَصْنَاماً تَتَنَجَّسُ بِها. | ٣ 3 |
Then say thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time [of sorrow] may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean:
| قَدْ أَثِمْتِ بِمَا سَفَكْتِ مِنْ دِمَاءٍ، وَتَنَجَّسْتِ بِمَا عَمِلْتِ مِنْ أَصْنَامِكِ. قَدْ قَرَّبْتِ يَوْمَ دَيْنُونَتِكِ، وَبَلَغْتِ مُنْتَهَى أَيَّامِكِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُكِ عَاراً عِنْدَ الأُمَمِ وَمَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الْبُلْدَانِ. | ٤ 4 |
Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days [of destruction] to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
| تَسْخَرُ مِنْكِ الْبُلْدَانُ الْقَرِيبَةُ وَالنَّائِيَةُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ، أَنْتِ يَا نَجِسَةُ، يَا كَثِيرَةَ الشَّغَبِ. | ٥ 5 |
Those who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion!
| هُوَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ كَانُوا فِيكِ انْهَمَكَ فِي سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Behold, the princes of Israel were each [ready] with his arm within thee, in order to shed blood.
| فِيكِ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ وَجَارُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ عَلَى الْغَرِيبِ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ، | ٧ 7 |
Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.
| احْتَقَرْتِ مُقَدَّسَاتِي وَنَجَّسْتِ أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي. | ٨ 8 |
My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane.
| أَقَامَ فِيكِ وُشَاةٌ عَمِلُوا عَلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ، وَأَكَلُوا أَمَامَ الأَصْنَامِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَارْتَكَبُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ. | ٩ 9 |
Tale-bearers [also] were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee.
| فِيكِ فَضَحَ الإِنْسَانُ عُرْيَ أَبِيهِ، وَفِيكِ أَذَلُّوا مَنْ بَرِحَتْ مُتَنَجِّسَةً بِطَمْثِهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Their father's nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee.
| فِيكِ إِنْسَانٌ زَنَى مَعَ امْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، وَاقْتَرَفَ إِنْسَانٌ الرَّذِيلَةَ مَعَ كَنَّتِهِ، وَفِيكِ ضَاجَعَ إِنْسَانٌ أُخْتَهُ ابْنَةَ أَبِيهِ. | ١١ 11 |
And one with his neighbor's wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughter-in-law with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee.
| فِيكِ أَخَذُوا الرِّشْوَةَ لِقَاءَ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ. أَخَذْتِ الرِّبَا وَمَالَ الْحَرَامِ، وَسَلَبْتِ أَقْرِبَاءَكِ ظُلْماً وَنَسِيتِنِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.
| هَا أَنَا قَدْ صَفَّقْتُ بِكَفِّي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا حَصَلْتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِبْحٍ حَرَامٍ، وَمَا سُفِكَ مِنْ دَمٍ فِي وَسَطِكِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy blood-guilt which hath been in the midst of thee.
| فَهَلْ يَصْمُدُ قَلْبُكِ أَوْ تَحْتَفِظُ يَدَاكِ بِقُوَّتِهِمَا فِي الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي فِيهَا أَتَعَامَلُ مَعَكِ؟ أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأُتَمِّمُ مَا أَنْطِقُ بِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
| سَأُشَتِّتُكِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأُبَعْثِرُكِ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، وَأُزِيلُ نَجَاسَتَكِ مِنْكِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of thee.
| وَتَتَدَنَّسِينَ بِنَفْسِكِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ، وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ١٦ 16 |
And thou shalt be degraded through thyself before the eyes of nations, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٧ 17 |
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ أَصْبَحَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي نُفَايَةً. كُلُّهُمْ مِثْلُ النُّحَاسِ وَالْقَصْدِيرِ وَالْحَدِيدِ وَالرَّصَاصِ فِي كُورٍ. صَارُوا حُثَالَةَ فِضَّةٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
Son of man, the house of Israel are become to me dross: they all are copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; the dross of silver are they become.
| لأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ قَدْ صِرْتُمْ نُفَايَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٩ 19 |
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
| كَمَا تُجْمَعُ الْفِضَّةُ وَالنُّحَاسُ وَالْحَدِيدُ وَالرَّصَاصُ وَالْقَصْدِيرُ فِي الْكُورِ، لِتُنْفَخَ عَلَيْهَا نَارٌ لِتُسْبَكَ. كَذَلِكَ أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ وَأَسْبِكُكُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
As silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it: so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury and I will lay you down there, and melt you.
| أَجْمَعُكُمْ وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي نَارِ غَضَبِي فَتُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا | ٢١ 21 |
Yea, I will assemble you in a heap, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
| كَمَا تُسْبَكُ الْفِضَّةُ فِي بَوتَقَةِ النَّارِ، هَكَذَا تُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ سَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكُمْ». | ٢٢ 22 |
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord who have poured out my fury over you.
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٢٣ 23 |
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهَا: أَنْتِ أَرْضٌ لَمْ تَتَطَهَّرِي وَلَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed; [and] which is not rained upon on the day of indignation.
| تَوَاطَأَ أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا الْكَذَبَةُ فِيهَا مِثْلَ أَسَدٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يُمَزِّقُ الْفَرِيسَةَ. الْتَهَمُوا نُفُوساً، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى نَفَائِسِ النَّاسِ وَكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَكَثَّرُوا أَرَامِلَهَا فِيهَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
The banded troop of her prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that teareth in pieces the prey: souls do they devour; wealth and precious things do they take away; the number of her widows do they increase in the midst of her.
| خَالَفَ كَهَنَتُهَا شَرِيعَتِي وَنَجَّسُوا مَقَادِسِي. لَمْ يُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالرِّجْسِ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا الْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ الطَّاهِرِ وَالنَّجِسِ، وَحَجَبُوا عُيُونَهُمْ عَنْ أَيَّامِ سُبُوتِي فَصِرْتُ مُدَنَّساً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things: between the holy and profane do they make no distinction, and the difference between the unclean and the clean do they not make known, and from [the violation of] my sabbaths do they turn away their eyes, so that I am profaned among them.
| رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِيهَا كَذِئَابٍ خَاطِفَةٍ تُمَزِّقُ فَرَائِسَهَا إِذْ يَسْفِكُونَ دِمَاءَ النَّاسِ فِي سَبِيلِ الرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Her princes in her midst are like wolves that tear in pieces the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to obtain selfish gain.
| وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا قَدْ طَلَوْا لَهُمْ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ، إِذْ يَرَوْنَ لَهُمْ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَيَعْرُفُونَ لَهُمْ عِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، مَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يُعْلِنْ شَيْئاً. | ٢٨ 28 |
And her prophets plastered for them with unadhesive mortar, foreseeing falsehood, and divining unto them lies, saying, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal; when the Lord had not spoken.
| أَفْرَطُوا فِي ظُلْمِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ وَاغْتَصَبُوا سَالِبِينَ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْفَقِيرَ وَالْمِسْكِينَ، وَظَلَمُوا الْغَرِيبَ جَوْراً. | ٢٩ 29 |
The people of the land are guilty of extortion, and practise robbery, and the poor and the needy they defraud: and they extort from the stranger with injustice.
| فَالْتَمَسْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ رَجُلاً وَاحِداً يَبْنِي جِدَاراً وَيَقِفُ فِي الثُّغْرَةِ أَمَامِي مُدَافِعاً عَنِ الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى لَا أَخْرِبَهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And I seek now among them for a man, that could erect a fence, and stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it; but I find none.
| فَصَبَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ، الْتَهَمْتُهُمْ بِنَارِ غَضَبِي، جَازَيْتُهُمْ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٣١ 31 |
And I therefore pour out over them my indignation; with the fire of my wrath do I make an end of them: their own way do I bring upon their head, saith the Lord Eternal.
