حِزْقِيال 44
| ثُمَّ أَرْجَعَنِي إِلَى بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الْخَارِجِيِّ الْمُوَاجِهِ لِلشَّرْقِ وَكَانَ آنَئِذٍ مُغْلَقاً، | ١ 1 |
And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which looked toward the east: and it was locked.
| وَقَالَ لِي: «سَيَظَلُّ هَذَا الْبَابُ مُغْلَقاً لَا يُفْتَحُ وَلا يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ إِنْسَانٌ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اجْتَازَ مِنْهُ. لِذَلِكَ يَظَلُّ مُغْلَقاً | ٢ 2 |
Then said the Lord unto me, This gate shall remain locked, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore shall it remain locked.
| إِنَّمَا الرَّئِيسُ لِكَوْنِهِ رَئِيساً يَجْلِسُ فِي مَدْخَلِهِ لِيَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. يُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ عَنْ طَرِيقِ رُوَاقِ الْبَابِ، وَمِنْ ذَاتِ الطَّرِيقِ يَعُودُ. | ٣ 3 |
As for the prince, being the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord: by the way of the porch of that gate shall he enter, and by the way of the same shall he go out.
| ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي عَنْ طَرِيقِ بَابِ الشِّمَال إِلَى أَمَامِ الْهَيْكَلِ. فَالْتَفَتُّ حَوْلِي وَإذَا بِي أَرَى مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ يَغْمُرُ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي. | ٤ 4 |
Then brought he me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
| وَخَاطَبَنِي قَائِلاً: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَجِّهْ قَلْبَكَ وَانْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، وَأَصْغِ بِأُذُنَيْكَ إِلَى كُلِّ مَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِهِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ فَرَائِضِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامِهِ، وَرَاقِبْ بِحِرْصٍ مَدَاخِلَ الْهَيْكَلِ وَمَخَارِجَ الْمَقْدِسِ. | ٥ 5 |
And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, direct thy mind, and see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears all that I am speaking with thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and of all its laws; and direct thy mind to the entrance of the house, with every place of egress of the sanctuary.
| وَقُلْ لِلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: يَكْفِيكُمْ جَمِيعُ رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٦ 6 |
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Ye have done enough with all your abominations, O house of Israel!
| إِذْ أَدْخَلْتُمُ الغُرَبَاءَ غَيْرَ الْمَخْتُونِي الْقُلُوبِ وَاللَّحْمِ إِلَى مَقْدِسِي، فَدَنَّسْتُمُوهُ حِينَ قَرَّبْتُمْ طَعَامِي مِنْ شَحْمٍ وَدَمٍ، فَنَقَضْتُمْ عَهْدِي، فَضْلاً عَنْ كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
In your having brought the sons of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, while you were offering my food, the fat and the blood: so that they broke my covenant because of all your abominations.
| وَلَمْ تَتَوَلَّوْا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ حِرَاسَةَ مُقَدَّسَاتِي، بَلْ عَهِدْتُمْ بِها إِلَى غُرَبَاءَ بَدَلاً عَنْكُمْ لِيَحْرُسُوا مَقْدِسِي. | ٨ 8 |
And [because] ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set [those unworthy ones] as keepers of my charge in my sanctuary at your own pleasure.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا يَدْخُلُ مَقْدِسِي غَرِيبٌ غَيْرُ مَخْتُونِ الْقَلْبِ وَاللَّحْمِ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بَينَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ 9 |
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, No son of the stranger, uncircumcised in heart, or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of all the sons of the stranger that are in the midst of the children of Israel.
| حَتَّى اللّاوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ ابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي حِينَ ضَلَّ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِ يَحْمِلُونَ عِقَابَ إِثْمِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
But as respecteth the Levites that were gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray away from me, after their idols, they shall surely bear their iniquity;
| فَيَكُونُونَ خُدَّاماً فِي الْهَيْكَلِ وَكَحُرَّاسٍ لأَبْوَابِهِ وَخُدَّامٍ لَهُ. هُمْ يَذْبَحُونَ الْمُحْرَقَةَ وَالْقُرْبَانَ لِلشَّعْبِ وَيَخْدِمُونَهُمْ، | ١١ 11 |
And they shall be in my sanctuary, servants, appointed to watch at the gates of the house, and to be servants for the house: these are they that shall slay the burnt-offerings and the sacrifices for the people, and they shall stand before them to do the service for them.
| لأَنَّهُمْ قَامُوا عَلَى خِدْمَةِ عِبَادَةِ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، وَكَانُوا عَثْرَةَ إِثْمٍ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِذَلِكَ أَقْسَمْتُ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَنْ أُحَمِّلَهُمْ عِقَابَ إِثْمِهِمْ، | ١٢ 12 |
Because that they used to serve them before their idols, and have been unto the house of Israel as a stumbling-block of iniquity; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Eternal, and they shall bear their iniquity;
| فَلا يَقْتَرِبُونَ مِنِّي لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً، وَلا يَدْنُونَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَقْدَاسِي وَمِنْ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، بَلْ يَحْمِلُونَ عِقَابَ خِزْيِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَتِهِمِ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبُوهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
And they shall not come near unto me, to officiate as priests unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the most holy things; but they shall bear their shame, yea, for their abominations which they have committed.
| لَكِنْ أُكَلِّفُهُمْ بِحِرَاسَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ، وَبِكُلِّ خِدْمَةٍ سِوَاهَا مِنْ أَعْمَالِ الصِّيَانَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And I will appoint them to be keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
| أَمَّا الْكَهَنَةُ الِّلاوِيُّونَ مِنْ نَسْلِ صَادُوقَ الَّذِينَ وَاظَبُوا بِحِرْصٍ عَلَى حِرَاسَةِ مَقْدِسِي حِينَ ضَلَّ عَنِّي بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فَهَؤُلاءِ فَقَطْ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ لِخِدْمَتِي وَيَمْثُلُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِي لِيُقَرِّبُوا لِيَ الشَّحْمَ وَالدَّمَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٥ 15 |
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, —these are they that shall come near unto me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Eternal:
| هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ مَقْدِسِي وَيَتَقَدَّمُونَ إِلَى مَائِدَتِي لِخِدْمَتِي وَلِلْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى شَعَائِرِي. | ١٦ 16 |
These are they that shall enter into my sanctuary, and these shall come near to my table, to minister unto me; and they shall keep my charge.
| وَحَالَمَا يَدْخُلُونَ أَبْوَابَ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ يَرْتَدُونَ ثِيَاباً مِنْ كَتَّانٍ وَلا يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَاباً مِنْ صُوفٍ فِي أَثْنَاءِ خِدْمَتِهِمْ عِنْدَ أَبْوَابِ السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ وَمَا يَلِيهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
And it shall come to pass, that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall clothe themselves with linen garments; and there shall no wool come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within the house.
| وَيَتَعَمَّمُونَ بِعَمَائِمَ كَتَّانِيَّةٍ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَيَرْتَدُونَ سَرَاوِيلَ كَتَّانِيَّةً أَيْضاً عَلَى أَحْقَائِهِمْ وَلا يَلْبَسُونَ مَا يَجْعَلُ الْعَرَقَ يَنِزُّ مِنْ أَجْسَامِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
Linen bonnets shall be upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be upon their loins: they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
| وَإذَا انْصَرَفُوا إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الْخَارِجِيَّةِ حَيْثُ يَجْتَمِعُ الشَّعْبُ، يَخْلَعُونَ ثِيَابَ خِدْمَتِهِمْ وَيَضَعُونَهَا فِي مَخَادِعِ الْقُدْسِ، ثُمَّ يَرْتَدُونَ ثِيَاباً أُخْرَى لِئَلّا يُقَدِّسُوا الشَّعْبَ بِثِيَابِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people: then shall they put off their garments wherein they have ministered, and they shall lay them down in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not mingle among the people with their garments.
| وَلا يَحْلِقُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَلا يُرْخُونَ خُصَلاً، بَلْ يَجُزُّونَ شَعْرَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And their heads shall they not shave close, nor suffer their hair to grow long: they shall only crop [the hair of] their heads.
| وَلا يَشْرَبَنَّ كَاهِنٌ خَمْراً عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And wine shall none of the priests drink when they enter into the inner court.
| وَلا يَتَزَوَّجُ الْكَهَنَةُ أَرْمَلَةً وَلا مُطَلَّقَةً، بَلْ يَتَزَوَّجُونَ فَتَيَاتٍ عَذَارَى مِنْ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَوْ أَرْمَلَةَ كَاهِنٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And a widow, or one that is divorced from her husband shall they not take to themselves as wives; but only virgins of the seed of the house of Israel; but whatever widow it may be, the [common] priests may take.
| وَيُعَلِّمُونَ شَعْبِي التَّمْيِيزَ بَيْنَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالْمُبَاحِ، وَيُعَرِّفُونَهُمُ النَّجِسَ مِنَ الطَّاهِرِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And my people shall they teach the difference between the holy and profane, and that between the unclean and the clean shall they make known unto them.
| وَيَكُونُونَ قُضَاةً فِي الْخِصَامِ، فَيَحْكُمُونَ بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِي، وَيُمَارِسُونَ شَرَائِعِي وَفَرَائِضِي فِي كُلِّ مَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِي وَيُقَدِّسُونَ أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
And in a controversy shall they stand up to judge, according to my ordinances shall they decide it: and my laws and my statutes at all my festivals shall they observe, and my sabbaths shall they sanctify.
| وَلا يَقْتَرِبُونَ مِنْ جُثَّةِ مَيْتٍ فَيَتَنَجَّسُونَ، إِلّا إِذَا كَانَ الْمَيْتُ أَباً أَوْ أُمّاً أَوِ ابْناً أَوِ ابْنَةً أَوْ أَخاً أَوْ أُخْتاً غَيْرَ مُتَزَوِّجَةٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And to a dead person shall they not come to defile themselves; but on father, or on mother, or on son, or on daughter, on brother, or on sister that hath had no husband, may they defile themselves.
| وَبَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ تَطْهِيرِهِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
And after he is become clean, —they shall reckon unto him seven days, —
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُقْبِلُ فِيهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، إِلَى السَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، يُقَرِّبُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ خَطِيئَةٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Then shall he on the day that he cometh into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Eternal.
| وَلا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِيرَاثٌ، لأَنِّي أَنَا مِيرَاثُهُمْ. وَلا تُعْطُونَهُمْ نَصِيباً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنِّي نَصِيبُهُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And it shall be unto them as an inheritance, I am their inheritance: and any possession shall you not give them in Israel, I am their possession.
| وَيَكُونُ طَعَامُهُمْ مِنْ تَقْدِمَاتِ الْحُبُوبِ وَذَبِيحَةِ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَذَبِيحَةِ الإِثْمِ وَكُلِّ تَقْدِمَةٍ مُخَصَّصَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The meat-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering—these shall they eat; and every devoted thing in Israel shall belong to them.
| وَتَكُونُ لِلْكَهَنَةِ أَيْضاً كُلُّ بَاكُورَةٍ مِنْ بَاكُورَاتِ غَلّاتِكُمْ وَنِتَاجِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ صُنُوفِ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَتُعْطُونَهُمْ أَوَّلَ عَجِينِكُمْ لِتَحِلَّ الْبَرَكَةُ عَلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And the first of all kinds of first-fruits of all, and every kind of heave-offering of every thing of all your heave-offerings, shall belong to the priests; and the first of your dough shall you give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
| وَلا يَأْكُلَنَّ الْكَاهِنُ مِنْ أَيَّةِ مَيْتَةٍ أَوْ فَرِيسَةٍ، طَيْراً كَانَتْ أَوْ بَهِيمَةً. | ٣١ 31 |
Any thing that hath died of itself, or that is torn, whether it be fowl or beast, shall the priests not eat.
