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 thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of 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 thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are 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 will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.

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

And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: 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 saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy 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 stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

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

Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:

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 his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,

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

To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations.

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 saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of 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 saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall 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 lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith 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 saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities:

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

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

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

And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
