حِزْقِيال 24

١ 1 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ (مِنْ أَسْرِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ)، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيِّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، دَوِّنِ اسْمَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِعَيْنِهِ، فَإِنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ حَاصَرَ فِيهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

"Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.

٣ 3 وَاضْرِبْ مَثَلاً لِلشَّعْبِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: ضَعِ الْقِدْرَ وَصُبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً.

Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

٤ 4 وَاطْرَحْ فِيهَا قِطَعَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، كُلَّ قِطْعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، الْفَخْذَ وَالْكَتِفَ وَخِيَارَ الْعِظَامِ.

gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

٥ 5 لِتَكُنِ الذَّبِيحَةُ مُنْتَقَاةً مِنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ، وَضَعْهَا فَوْقَ كَوْمَةِ الْعِظَامِ. اغْلِهَا جَيِّداً حَتَّى تُسْلَقَ عِظَامُهَا فِيهَا.

Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst."'

٦ 6 لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْمَدِينَةِ سَافِكَةِ الدِّمَاءِ، وَلِلْقِدْرِ الْمُغَشَّاةِ بِزِنْجَارِهَا الَّذِي لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا. فَرِّغُوهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ اقْتِرَاعٍ عَلَيْهَا.

"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it.

٧ 7 لأَنَّ دَمَهَا مَا بَرِحَ فِيهَا، قَدْ وَضَعَتْهُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ جَرْدَاءَ، لَمْ تُرِقْهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِتُوَارِيَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

٨ 8 وَحَتَّى تُثِيرَ الْغَضَبَ الْمُفْضِي إِلَى الانْتِقَامِ وَضَعْتُ دَمَهَا عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ جَرْدَاءَ لِئَلّا يُوَارَى.

That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.'

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ وَيْلٌ لِلْمَدِينَةِ سَافِكَةِ الدِّمَاءِ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَجْعَلُ كُومَةَ حَطَبِهَا عَظِيمَةً.

"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will make the pile great.

١٠ 10 كَثِّرِ الْحَطَبَ، أَضْرِمِ النَّارَ، أَنْضِجِ اللَّحْمَ وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ التَّوَابِلَ وَلْتُحْرَقِ الْعِظَامُ.

Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ ضَعِ الْقِدْرَ فَارِغَةً عَلَى الْجَمْرِ حَتَّى تَحْمَى وَيَتَوَهَّجَ نُحَاسُهَا، فَيَذُوبَ قَذَرُهَا وَيَفْنَى زِنْجَارُهَا.

Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.

١٢ 12 قَدْ أَجْهَدَتْ نَفْسِي بِمَتَاعِبِهَا وَلَمْ تَتَطَهَّرْ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ زِنْجَارِهَا فَصَارَ مَآلُهُ لِلنَّارِ.

She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by fire.

١٣ 13 فِي قَذَارَتِكِ رَذِيلَةٌ لأَنِّي سَعَيْتُ لِتَطْهِيرِكِ، فَلَمْ تَطْهُرِي وَلَنْ تَطْهُرِي مِنْ نَجَاسَتِكِ حَتَّى أَصُبَّ عَلَيْكِ غَضَبِي.

In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

١٤ 14 أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ، وَمَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ. لَنْ أَرْجِعَ عَنْهُ وَلَنْ أُشْفِقَ وَلَنْ أَنْدَمَ، بَلْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ بِمُقْتَضَى تَصَرُّفَاتِكِ وَطُرُقِكِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says Jehovah."

١٥ 15 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١٦ 16 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا أَحْرِمُكَ مِنْ بَهْجَةِ عَيْنَيْكَ عَلَى أَثَرِ فَاجِعَةٍ. فَلا تَنُحْ وَلا تَبْكِ وَلا تَذْرِفْ دُمُوعَكَ.

"Son of man, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

١٧ 17 تَنَهَّدْ بِصَمْتٍ. لَا تُقِمْ مَنَاحَةً عَلَى الْمَوْتَى. تَلَفَّعْ بِعِصَابَتِكَ وَضَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ فِي رِجْلَيْكَ. لَا تَحْجُبْ شَارِبَيْكَ وَلا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ».

Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."

١٨ 18 فَخَاطَبْتُ الشَّعْبَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَعِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ تُوُفِّيَتْ زَوْجَتِي، فَفَعَلْتُ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي مَا أُمِرْتُ بِهِ.

So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

١٩ 19 فَسَأَلَنِي الشَّعْبُ: «أَلا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا تَعْنِيهِ لَنَا هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي أَنْتَ تَصْنَعُهَا؟»

The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"

٢٠ 20 فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ: «قَدْ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلامِهِ قَائِلاً:

Then I said to them, "The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

٢١ 21 أَبْلِغْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ عَلَى تَنْجِيسِ مَقْدِسي فَخْرِ عِزِّكُمْ وَمُشْتَهَى أَعْيُنِكُمْ، وَبَهْجَةِ نُفُوسِكُمْ، فَيَتَهَاوَى أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ وَرَاءَكُمْ صَرْعَى بِالسَّيْفِ.

'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says Jehovah: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.

٢٢ 22 وَتَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ: لَا تَحْجُبُونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ،

You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

٢٣ 23 وَتَكُونُ عَصَائِبُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَنِعَالُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ. لَا تَنُوحُونَ وَلا تَنْدُبُونَ إِنَّمَا تَبِيدُونَ بِآثَامِكُمْ، وَيَئِنُّ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

٢٤ 24 وَهَكَذَا يُصْبِحُ حِزْقِيَالُ لَكُمْ آيَةً: فَتَصْنَعُونَ كَمَا صَنَعَ. فَإِنْ تَمَّ هَذَا تُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am Jehovah."'"

٢٥ 25 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَفِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَحْرِمُهُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ عِزِّهِمْ وَبَهْجَةِ فَخْرِهِمْ، وَمُشْتَهَى عُيُونِهِمْ، وَلَذَّةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ (أَيْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ)،

"You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,

٢٦ 26 يُقْبِلُ إِلَيْكَ النَّاجِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لِيُبَلِّغَكَ هَذِهِ الأَخْبَارَ.

that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?

٢٧ 27 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْفَتِحُ فَمُكَ فَتُخَاطِبُ النَّاجِيَ الْمُنْفَلِتَ وَلا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ، وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ آيَةً، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
