وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً: ١ 1
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، خَاطِبْ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِذَا جَلَبْتُ سَيْفاً عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَ أَهْلُهَا قَدْ أَقَامُوا لَهُمْ رَقِيباً مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
فَإِذَا رَأَى الأَعْدَاءَ مُقْبِلِينَ لِمُهَاجَمَةِ الأَرْضِ، فَنَفَخَ بِالْبُوقِ تَحْذِيراً لِلشَّعْبِ، ٣ 3
if, when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people,
فَمَنْ يَسْمَعُ دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ وَلا يَحْتَرِسُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى السَّيْفُ وَقَتَلَهُ، فَدَمُهُ يَقَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. ٤ 4
then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes no warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
لأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ دَوِيَّ الْبُوقِ وَلَمْ يَحْتَرِسْ. لِهَذَا يَكُونُ دَمُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، إِذْ لَوِ احْتَرَسَ لأَنْقَذَ نَفْسَهُ. ٥ 5
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no warning; his blood shall be upon him. Whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَى الرَّقِيبُ الْعَدُوَّ مُقْبِلاً وَلَمْ يَنْفُخْ بِالْبُوقِ، فَلَمْ يَحْتَرِسِ الشَّعْبُ، فَأَقْدَمَ الْعَدُوُّ وَقَتَلَ نَفْساً مِنْهُمْ، فَالْقَتِيلُ قَدْ لاقَى حَتْفَهُ جَزَاءَ ذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِ الرَّقِيبِ أَطْلُبُهُ. ٦ 6
But if the watchman sees the sword come, and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the watchman's hand.
وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ أَقَمْتُكَ رَقِيباً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَسْمَعُ قَضَائِي، وَتُحَذِّرُهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِي. ٧ 7
So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
إِنْ قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: يَا شِرِّيرُ إِنَّكَ حَتْماً تَمُوتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَرِّكَ، وَلَمْ تَعْمَدْ إِلَى تَحْذِيرِهِ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الشِّرِّيرَ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ. ٨ 8
When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, thou shall surely die, and thou do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ حَذَّرْتَ الشِّرِّيرَ لِيَرْتَدِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ فَأَبَى فَهُوَ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَكُونُ قَدْ خَلَّصْتَ نَفْسَكَ. ٩ 9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul.
وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: حَقّاً إِنَّ مَعَاصِينَا وَخَطَايَانَا وَاقِعَةٌ عَلَيْنَا، وَبِهَا نَحْنُ هَالِكُونَ، فَكَيْفَ إِذاً نَحْيَا؟ ١٠ 10
And thou, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?
قُلْ لَهُمْ: حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، إِنِّي لَا أَبْتَهِجُ بِمَوْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ بَلْ بِأَنْ يَرْتَدِعَ عَنْ غِيِّهِ وَيَحْيَا. ارْجِعُوا، ارْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمِ الرَّدِيئَةِ! لِمَاذَا تَمُوتُونَ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ ١١ 11
Say to them, As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked man, but that the wicked man turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لأَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِكَ: لَا يَنْجُو الْبَارُّ بِبِرِّهِ فِي يَوْمِ مَعْصِيَتِهِ، وَلا يَعْثُرُ الشِّرِّيرُ بِشَرِّهِ فِي يَوْمِ تَوْبَتِهِ. كَذَلِكَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْبَارُّ أَنْ يَحْيَا بِبِرِّهِ فِي يَوْمِ اقْتِرَافِهِ لِخَطِيئَتِهِ. ١٢ 12
And thou, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. And as for the wickedness of the wicked man, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness, nor shall he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
وَإِنْ قُلْتَ لِلْبَارِّ إِنَّكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ تَحْيَا، فَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى بِرِّهِ وَأَثِمَ، فَإِنَّ بِرَّهُ كُلَّهُ لَا يُذْكَرُ لَهُ، بَلْ يَمُوتُ بِمَا ارْتَكَبَ مِنْ إِثْمٍ. ١٣ 13
When I say to the righteous man, that he shall surely live, if he trusts his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his iniquity that he has committed, in it he shall die.
وَإذَا قُلْتَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ إِنَّكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ مَائِتٌ: فَارْتَدَعَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ وَمَارَسَ الْعَدْلَ وَالْحَقَّ، ١٤ 14
Again, when I say to the wicked man, Thou shall surely die, if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right,
وَرَدَّ الرَّهْنَ، وَعَوَّضَ عَمَّا اغْتَصَبَهُ، وَسَلَكَ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ الَّتِي تُؤَمِّنُ لَهُ الْحَيَاةَ، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرْتَكِبَ إِثْماً، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ يَحْيَا وَلا يَمُوتُ فِي خَطَايَاهُ، ١٥ 15
if the wicked man restores the pledge, gives again that which he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
وَلا تُذْكَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ ارْتَكَبَهَا، لأَنَّهُ عَادَ فَمَارَسَ الْعَدْلَ وَالْحَقَّ. إِنَّهُ حَيَاةً يَحْيَا! ١٦ 16
None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَدَّعِي أَبْنَاءُ شَعْبِكَ أَنَّ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ مُعْوَجَّةٌ. بَلْ إِنَّ طَرِيقَهُمْ هُمْ هِيَ الْمُعْوَجَّةُ. ١٧ 17
Yet the sons of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. But as for them, their way is not equitable.
فَعِنْدَ ارْتِدَادِ الْبَارِّ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَارْتِكَابِهِ الإِثْمَ فَإِنَّهُ بِهِ يَمُوتُ. ١٨ 18
When the righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
وَعِنْدَ ارْتِدَاعِ الشِّرِّيرِ عَنْ غِيِّهِ، وَمُمَارَسَتِهِ الْعَدْلَ وَالْحَقَّ، فَإِنَّهُ بِهِمَا يَحْيَا. ١٩ 19
And when the wicked man turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
وَأَنْتُمْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ مُعْوَجَّةٌ. إِنَّنِي أَدِينُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِهِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٢٠ 20
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equitable. O house of Israel, I will judge you everyone according to his ways.
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ سَبْيِنَا، أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ نَاجٍ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ تَمَّ تَدْمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ». ٢١ 21
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that a man who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.
وَكَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ فِي الْمَسَاءِ قُبَيْلَ مَجِيءِ النَّاجِي، وَفَتَحَ الرَّبُّ فَمِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ عِنْدَ وُصُولِهِ، فَانْفَكَّتْ عُقْدَةُ لِسَانِي وَلَمْ أَعُدْ أَبْكَمَ. ٢٢ 22
Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he who escaped came. And he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning. And my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
فَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: ٢٣ 23
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي خَرَائِبِ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ فَرْداً وَاحِداً وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ وَرِثَ الأَرْضَ، وَهَكَذَا نَحْنُ كَثِيرُونَ، وَقَدْ وُهِبَتْ لَنَا الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثاً. ٢٤ 24
Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: أَتَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ بِالدَّمِ وَتَتَعَلَّقُ عُيُونُكُمْ بِأَصْنَامِكُمْ وَتَسْفِكُونَ الدَّمَ، ثُمَّ تَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ؟ ٢٥ 25
Therefore say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land?
اعْتَمَدْتُمْ عَلَى سُيُوفِكُمْ، وَارْتَكَبْتُمُ الْمُوبِقَاتِ، وَزَنَى كُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ مَعَ امْرَأَةِ صَاحِبِهِ. فَهَلْ تَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ؟ ٢٦ 26
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbor's wife. And shall ye possess the land?
قُلْ لَهُمْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: حَيٌّ أَنَا، إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ فِي الْخَرَائِبِ يُقْتَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَالَّذِينَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي الْعَرَاءِ أَبْذِلُهُمْ قُوتاً لِلْوُحُوشِ، وَالْمُتَمَنِّعُونَ فِي الْحُصُونِ وَالْمَغَاوِرِ يَمُوتُونَ بِالْوَبَاءِ. ٢٧ 27
Thus shall thou say to them. Thus says the lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and he who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
فَأَجْعَلُ الأَرْضَ أَطْلالاً مُقْفِرَةً وَتَبْطُلُ كِبْرِيَاءُ عِزَّتِهَا، وَتُصْبِحُ جِبَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَرْدَاءَ لَا يَجْتَازُ بِها عَابِرٌ. ٢٨ 28
And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. And the pride of her power shall cease. And the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ الأَرْضَ خَرِبَةً مُقْفِرَةً مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا ارْتَكَبُوهُ مِنْ رَجَاسَاتٍ. ٢٩ 29
Then they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَإِنَّ أَبْنَاءَ شَعْبِكَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْكَ بِجُوَارِ الْجُدْرَانِ وَفِي مَدَاخِلِ أَبْوَابِ الْبُيُوتِ، وَيُخَاطِبُ أَحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ، وَالرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ قَائِلِينَ: هَيَّا تَعَالَوْا اسْمَعُوا كَلامَ الْوَحْيِ الصَّادِرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ. ٣٠ 30
And as for thee, son of man, the sons of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.
وَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْكَ مِثْلَ سَائِرِ الشَّعْبِ وَيَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ نَظِيرَ شَعْبِي، وَيُصْغُونَ إِلَى كَلامِكَ وَلا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ. إِنَّهُمْ يُعْرِبُونَ عَنْ أَشْوَاقِهِمْ بِكَلامِهِمْ، أَمَّا قَلْبُهُمْ فَقَدْ غَوَى وَرَاءَ مَكْسَبِهِمْ. ٣١ 31
And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
وَهَا أَنْتَ لَهُمْ كَقَصِيدَةِ حُبٍّ يَتَغَنَّى بِها ذُو صَوْتٍ عَذْبٍ، يُحْسِنُ الْعَزْفَ، فَيُصْغُونَ إِلَى كَلامِكَ وَلا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ. ٣٢ 32
And, lo, thou are to them as a very lovely song of he who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do not do them.
وَإذَا تَحَقَّقَ هَذَا، وَهُوَ لابُدَّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ، يُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ». ٣٣ 33
And when this comes to pass, (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.
