حِزْقِيال 25

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

“Son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon, and you shall prophesy about them.

٣ 3 وَقُلْ لَهُمُ اسْمَعُوا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ قَضَاءٍ: لأَنَّكِ شَمِتِّ بِمَقْدِسِي لأَنَّهُ تَدَنَّسَ، وَبِأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّهَا خَرِبَتْ وَبِشَعْبِ يَهُوذَا لأَنَّهُمْ سِيقُوا إِلَى السَّبْيِ،

And you shall say to the sons of Ammon: Listen to the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have said, ‘Well, well!’ over my sanctuary, when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel, when it was desolated, and over the house of Judah, when they were led into captivity,

٤ 4 أُسَلِّمُكِ لِلْبَدْوِ وَأَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ، فَتَصِيرِينَ مِلْكاً لَهُمْ فَيَنْصِبُونَ مَضَارِبَهُمْ فِيكِ، وَيُقِيمُونَ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ فَوْقَ أَرْضِكِ. هُمْ يَلْتَهِمُونَ غَلَّتَكِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ لَبَنَكِ.

therefore, I will deliver you to the sons of the East, as an inheritance. And they will arrange their fences within you, and they will place their tents within you. They will eat your crops, and they will drink your milk.

٥ 5 وَأَجْعَلُ مَدِينَةَ رَبَّةَ مُنَاخاً لِلإِبِلِ، وَسَائِرَ مُدُنِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مَرَابِضَ لِلْغَنَمِ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

And I will make Rabbah into the habitation of camels, and the sons of Ammon into the resting place of cattle. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

٦ 6 لأَنَّكَ صَفَّقْتَ بِكَفَّيْكَ طَرَباً، وَخَبَطْتَ بِرِجْلَيْكَ، وَفَرِحْتَ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيكَ مِنْ لُؤْمٍ لِمَا حَلَّ بِأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stomped your foot, and have rejoiced with all your heart against the land of Israel,

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُثَقِّلُ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ، وَأُسَلِّمُكَ غَنِيمَةً لِلأُمَمِ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأُفْنِيكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْبُلْدَانِ، وَأُدَمِّرُكَ، فَتَدُرِكُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

therefore, behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will deliver you as a spoil of the Gentiles. And I will destroy you from the peoples, and I will perish you from the lands, and I will crush you. And you shall know that I am the Lord.

٨ 8 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَأَهْلَ سَعِيرَ يَقُولُونَ: هَلْ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا كَبَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ.

Thus says the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the Gentiles!’

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا أُقَوِّضُ جَبْهَتَهُمُ الشَّرْقِيَّةَ، وَأُدَمِّرُ مُدُنَ حُدُودِهِمْ، بَيْتَ بَشِيمُوتَ وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ وَقِرْيَتَايِمَ وَهِيَ مُدُنُ مَفْخَرَةِ مُوآبَ.

therefore, behold, I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and from his borders, the famous cities of the land of Beth-Jesimoth, and Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

١٠ 10 فَيَسْتَوْلِى قَبَائِلُ الْبَدْوِ عَلَيْهَا، وَيَصِيرُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ مِلْكاً لَهُمْ فَلا يَعُودُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرٌ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

with the sons of Ammon, to the sons of the East, and I will give it to them as an inheritance, so that there may no longer be a remembrance of the sons of Ammon among the Gentiles.

١١ 11 وَأُنَفِّذُ فِي المُوآبِيينَ أَحْكَاماً، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

And I will execute judgments in Moab. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

١٢ 12 وَهَذَا أَيْضاً مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ الأَدُومِيِّينَ أَقْدَمُوا عَلَى الانْتِقَامِ مِنْ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَسَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ أَشَدَّ إِسَاءَةٍ.

Thus says the Lord God: Because Idumea has taken vengeance, so as to vindicate herself against the sons of Judah, and has sinned grievously, and has sought revenge against them,

١٣ 13 هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ الأَدُومِيِّينَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمِ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْحَيَوَانَ، وَأُحَوِّلُهَا إِلَى أَطْلالٍ دَارِسَةٍ مِنَ التَّيْمَنِ إِلَى دَدَانَ، إِذْ يُقْتَلُ أَهْلُهَا جَمِيعاً بِالسَّيْفِ.

therefore, thus says the Lord God: I will extend my hand over Idumea, and I will take from it both man and beast, and I will make it desolate from the south. And those who are in Dedan will fall by the sword.

١٤ 14 وَأَعْهَدُ بِنِقْمَتِي إِلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَفْعَلُونَ بِالأَدُومِيِّينَ بِمُقْتَضَى غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي، فَيُدْرِكُونَ شِدَّةَ نِقْمَتِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

And I will issue my vengeance upon Idumea, by the hand of my people, Israel. And they shall act in Idumea in accord with my wrath and my fury. And they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord God.

١٥ 15 وَهَذَا أَيْضاً مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ لأَنَّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَدْ أَقْدَمُوا عَلَى الانْتِقَامِ وَأَفْرَطُوا فِيهِ بِكُلِّ لُؤْمِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، عَامِدِينَ إِلَى الْخَرَابِ بِسَبَبِ عَدَاوَةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ،

Thus says the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their soul, destroying, and fulfilling ancient hostilities,

١٦ 16 هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ الْكَرِيتِيِّينَ، وَأُبِيدُ بَقِيَّةَ سُكَّانِ سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ،

because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will extend my hand over the Philistines, and I will destroy those who destroy, and I will perish the remnant of the maritime regions.

١٧ 17 وَأُنَفِّذُ فِيهِمِ انْتِقَامِي الْعَظِيمَ بِتَأْدِيبٍ مُفْعَمٍ بِالسَّخَطِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، إِذْ أَصُبُّ نِقْمَتِي عَلَيْهِمْ».

And I will execute great vengeance against them, reproving them in fury. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will send my vengeance upon them.”
