حِزْقِيال 36

١ 1 «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ لِجِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ: اسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.

Also thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

٢ 2 هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ قَدْ تَهَكَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَائِلاً: هَهْ. قَدْ صَارَتِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ الْقَدِيمَةُ مِيرَاثاً لَنَا.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy had said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

٣ 3 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَمَّرُوكُمْ وَاقْتَحَمُوكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ لِتُصْبِحُوا مِيرَاثاً لِسَائِرِ الأُمَمِ، وَصِرْتُمْ حَدِيثَ كُلِّ شَفَةٍ وَمَذَمَّةَ الشَّعْبِ،

Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession to the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:

٤ 4 لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْيَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ وَالأَنْهَارِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ وَلِلْخَرَائِبِ الْمُقْفِرَةِ وَلِلْمُدُنِ الْمَهْجُورَةِ الَّتِي صَارَتْ نَهْباً لِبَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها وَمَثَارَ اسْتِهْزَاءٍ:

Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that [are] around;

٥ 5 هَا أَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ احْتِدَامِ نَارِ غَيْرَتِي أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ وَعَلَى أَدُومَ قَاطِبَةً، الَّذِينَ اغْتَصَبُوا أَرْضِي مِيرَاثاً لَهُمْ، بِقُلُوبٍ مُغْتَبِطَةٍ وَنُفُوسٍ حَاقِدَةٍ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ نَهْباً وَغَنِيمَةً.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَنْ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالتِّلالِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا فِي غَيْرَتِي وَسَخَطِي قَدْ أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ تَحَمَّلْتُمْ تَعْيِيرَ الأُمَمِ،

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

٧ 7 فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ تَتَحَمَّلَ الأُمَمُ الْمُحِيطَةُ بِكُمْ عَارَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up my hand, Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their shame.

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتُفْرِخِينَ فُرُوعَكِ، وَتَحْمِلُ أَشْجَارُكِ أَثْمَاراً لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ رُجُوعِهِمْ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً.

But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

٩ 9 فَأَنَا لَكِ، أَعْتَنِي بِكِ فَتُحْرَثِينَ وَتُزْرَعِينَ.

For behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

١٠ 10 وَأَجْعَلُكِ آهِلَةً بِالنَّاسِ، كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعْمَرُ الْمُدُنُ وَتُبْنَى الْخَرَائِبُ.

And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, [even] all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.

١١ 11 وَأُكَثِّرُ عَلَيْكِ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْبَهِيمَةَ فَيَكْثُرُونَ وَيُثْمِرُونَ، فَتُصْبِحِينَ آهِلَةً كَسَالِفِ الزَّمَانِ، وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَحْسَنْتُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ جَمِيعاً أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old states, and will do better [to you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

١٢ 12 وَأَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَخْطِرُونَ عَلَيْكِ، فَيَرِثُونَكِ وَتَكُونِينَ لَهُمْ مِلْكاً وَلا تُثْكِلِينَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدُ.

Yes, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men].

١٣ 13 لأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَكِ: أَنْتِ مُفْتَرِسَةُ النَّاسِ وَمُثْكِلَةُ شُعُوبِكِ

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say to you, Thou [land] devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nations;

١٤ 14 لِهَذَا لَنْ تَفْتَرِسِي النَّاسَ بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ تُثْكِلِي شُعُوبَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.

١٥ 15 وَلا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِيكِ مِنْ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرُ الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَحْمِلِينَ تَعْيِيرَ الشُّعُوبِ وَلا تَعُودِينَ تُعْثِرِينَ شُعُوبَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

١٦ 16 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

١٧ 17 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، عِنْدَمَا أَقَامَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ نَجَّسُوهَا بِطُرُقِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ. كَانَتْ طَرِيقُهُمْ أَمَامِي نَجِسَةً كَنَجَاسَةِ الطَّامِثِ.

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

١٨ 18 فَسَكَبْتُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا سَفَكُوهُ مِنْ دَمٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي نَجَّسُوهَا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ.

Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols [with which] they had polluted it:

١٩ 19 فَفَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، وَدِنْتُهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى طَرِيقِهِمْ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ.

And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

٢٠ 20 وَحِينَ اسْتَقَرُّوا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَهَا، دَنَّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ: هَؤُلاءِ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَقَدْ طُرِدُوا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

And when they entered among the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

٢١ 21 فَغِرْتُ عَلَى اسْمِي الَّذِي نَجَّسَهُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَهَا.

But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

٢٢ 22 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَيْسَ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا مُوْشِكٌ أَن أَعْمَلَ (عَظَائِمَ) يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ غَيْرَةً عَلَى اسْمِي الَّذِي دَنَّسْتُمُوهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ بَيْنَهَا.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

٢٣ 23 فَأُقَدِّسُ اسْمِي الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي صَارَ بِسَبَبِكُمْ مُنَجَّساً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ بَيْنَهَا، فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

٢٤ 24 إِذْ آخُذُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ وَأُحْضِرُكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ،

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

٢٥ 25 وَأَرُشُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَاءً نَقِيًّا فَتَطْهُرُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ،

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

٢٦ 26 وَأَهَبُكُمْ قَلْباً جَدِيداً، وَأَضَعُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحاً جَدِيدَةً، وَأَنْتَزِعُ مِنْ لَحْمِكُمْ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِوَضاً عَنْهُ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

٢٧ 27 وَأَضَعُ رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ فَأَجْعَلُكُمْ تُمَارِسُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَتُطِيعُونَ أَحْكَامِي عَامِلِينَ بِها،

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].

٢٨ 28 وَتَسْكُنُونَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِكُمْ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً،

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

٢٩ 29 وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَآمُرُ الْحِنْطَةَ أَنْ تَتَكَاثَرَ، وَلا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَجَاعَةَ.

I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

٣٠ 30 وَأُكَثِّرُ أَثْمَارَ الأَشْجَارِ وَمَحَاصِيلَ الْحَقْلِ لِئَلّا تَتَعَرَّضُوا لِعَارِ الْجُوعِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

٣١ 31 فَتَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمُ الأَثِيمَةَ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِكُمُ الطَّالِحَةَ، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ لِمَا ارْتَكَبْتُمْ مِنْ آثَامٍ وَرَجَاسَاتٍ.

Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that [were] not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities, and for your abominations.

٣٢ 32 لِهَذَا اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَاخْجَلُوا وَاخْزَوْا مِنْ طُرُقِكُمْ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord GOD, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

٣٣ 33 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أُطَهِّرُكُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ آثَامِكُمْ أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ فَتُبْنَى الْخَرَائِبُ،

Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.

٣٤ 34 وَتُفْلَحُ الأَرْضُ الْجَرْدَاءُ عِوَضَ أَنْ تَبْقَى أَرْضاً خَرِبَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ عَابِرٍ.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.

٣٥ 35 فَيَقُولُونَ: قَدْ صَارَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ الْجَرْدَاءُ كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتِ الْمُدُنُ الْمَهْجُورَةُ الْمُتَهَدِّمَةُ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً آهِلَةً.

And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become] fortified, [and] are inhabited.

٣٦ 36 فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ الَّتِي مَا بَرِحَتْ حَوْلَكُمْ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، قَدْ بَنَيْتُ مَا تَهَدَّمَ، وَغَرَسْتُ مَا أَقْفَرَ أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ نَطَقْتُ وَأُنْجِزُ مَا وَعَدْتُ بِهِ.

Then the heathen that are left around you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined [places], [and] plant that which was desolate: I the LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it].

٣٧ 37 عِنْدَئِذٍ أَجْعَلُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ هَذَا مِنِّي، فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لِمَطْلَبِهِمْ: أَنْ أُكَثِّرَهُمْ كَقَطِيعِ غَنَمٍ.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

٣٨ 38 كَغَنَمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَغَنَمِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِهَا، فَتَكْتَظُّ الْمُدُنُ الْخَرِبَةُ بِجَمَاعَاتِ النَّاسِ الْغَفِيرَةِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
