حِزْقِيال 24
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ (مِنْ أَسْرِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ)، أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيِّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، دَوِّنِ اسْمَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِعَيْنِهِ، فَإِنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ حَاصَرَ فِيهِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
“Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
| وَاضْرِبْ مَثَلاً لِلشَّعْبِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: ضَعِ الْقِدْرَ وَصُبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً. | ٣ 3 |
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.
| وَاطْرَحْ فِيهَا قِطَعَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، كُلَّ قِطْعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، الْفَخْذَ وَالْكَتِفَ وَخِيَارَ الْعِظَامِ. | ٤ 4 |
Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
| لِتَكُنِ الذَّبِيحَةُ مُنْتَقَاةً مِنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ، وَضَعْهَا فَوْقَ كَوْمَةِ الْعِظَامِ. اغْلِهَا جَيِّداً حَتَّى تُسْلَقَ عِظَامُهَا فِيهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
| لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْمَدِينَةِ سَافِكَةِ الدِّمَاءِ، وَلِلْقِدْرِ الْمُغَشَّاةِ بِزِنْجَارِهَا الَّذِي لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا. فَرِّغُوهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ اقْتِرَاعٍ عَلَيْهَا. | ٦ 6 |
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for it.
| لأَنَّ دَمَهَا مَا بَرِحَ فِيهَا، قَدْ وَضَعَتْهُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ جَرْدَاءَ، لَمْ تُرِقْهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِتُوَارِيَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ | ٧ 7 |
“‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
| وَحَتَّى تُثِيرَ الْغَضَبَ الْمُفْضِي إِلَى الانْتِقَامِ وَضَعْتُ دَمَهَا عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ جَرْدَاءَ لِئَلّا يُوَارَى. | ٨ 8 |
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.”
| لِذَلِكَ وَيْلٌ لِلْمَدِينَةِ سَافِكَةِ الدِّمَاءِ، فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَجْعَلُ كُومَةَ حَطَبِهَا عَظِيمَةً. | ٩ 9 |
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
| كَثِّرِ الْحَطَبَ، أَضْرِمِ النَّارَ، أَنْضِجِ اللَّحْمَ وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ التَّوَابِلَ وَلْتُحْرَقِ الْعِظَامُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Heap on the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burnt.
| ثُمَّ ضَعِ الْقِدْرَ فَارِغَةً عَلَى الْجَمْرِ حَتَّى تَحْمَى وَيَتَوَهَّجَ نُحَاسُهَا، فَيَذُوبَ قَذَرُهَا وَيَفْنَى زِنْجَارُهَا. | ١١ 11 |
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.
| قَدْ أَجْهَدَتْ نَفْسِي بِمَتَاعِبِهَا وَلَمْ تَتَطَهَّرْ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ زِنْجَارِهَا فَصَارَ مَآلُهُ لِلنَّارِ. | ١٢ 12 |
She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
| فِي قَذَارَتِكِ رَذِيلَةٌ لأَنِّي سَعَيْتُ لِتَطْهِيرِكِ، فَلَمْ تَطْهُرِي وَلَنْ تَطْهُرِي مِنْ نَجَاسَتِكِ حَتَّى أَصُبَّ عَلَيْكِ غَضَبِي. | ١٣ 13 |
“‘“In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath towards you to rest.
| 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». | ١٤ 14 |
“‘“I, the LORD, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٥ 15 |
Also the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا أَحْرِمُكَ مِنْ بَهْجَةِ عَيْنَيْكَ عَلَى أَثَرِ فَاجِعَةٍ. فَلا تَنُحْ وَلا تَبْكِ وَلا تَذْرِفْ دُمُوعَكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
| تَنَهَّدْ بِصَمْتٍ. لَا تُقِمْ مَنَاحَةً عَلَى الْمَوْتَى. تَلَفَّعْ بِعِصَابَتِكَ وَضَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ فِي رِجْلَيْكَ. لَا تَحْجُبْ شَارِبَيْكَ وَلا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ». | ١٧ 17 |
Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
| فَخَاطَبْتُ الشَّعْبَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَعِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ تُوُفِّيَتْ زَوْجَتِي، فَفَعَلْتُ فِي الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي مَا أُمِرْتُ بِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded.
| فَسَأَلَنِي الشَّعْبُ: «أَلا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا تَعْنِيهِ لَنَا هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ الَّتِي أَنْتَ تَصْنَعُهَا؟» | ١٩ 19 |
The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
| فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ: «قَدْ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلامِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٢٠ 20 |
Then I said to them, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
| أَبْلِغْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ عَلَى تَنْجِيسِ مَقْدِسي فَخْرِ عِزِّكُمْ وَمُشْتَهَى أَعْيُنِكُمْ، وَبَهْجَةِ نُفُوسِكُمْ، فَيَتَهَاوَى أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ وَرَاءَكُمْ صَرْعَى بِالسَّيْفِ. | ٢١ 21 |
‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, 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 will fall by the sword.
| وَتَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ: لَا تَحْجُبُونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
| وَتَكُونُ عَصَائِبُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَنِعَالُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ. لَا تَنُوحُونَ وَلا تَنْدُبُونَ إِنَّمَا تَبِيدُونَ بِآثَامِكُمْ، وَيَئِنُّ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one towards another.
| وَهَكَذَا يُصْبِحُ حِزْقِيَالُ لَكُمْ آيَةً: فَتَصْنَعُونَ كَمَا صَنَعَ. فَإِنْ تَمَّ هَذَا تُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Thus Ezekiel will 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 the Lord GOD.’”’”
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَفِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَحْرِمُهُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ عِزِّهِمْ وَبَهْجَةِ فَخْرِهِمْ، وَمُشْتَهَى عُيُونِهِمْ، وَلَذَّةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ (أَيْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ)، | ٢٥ 25 |
“You, son of man, shouldn’t it 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—
| يُقْبِلُ إِلَيْكَ النَّاجِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لِيُبَلِّغَكَ هَذِهِ الأَخْبَارَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْفَتِحُ فَمُكَ فَتُخَاطِبُ النَّاجِيَ الْمُنْفَلِتَ وَلا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ، وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ آيَةً، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٢٧ 27 |
In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
