حِزْقِيال 6

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا،

Son of man, set thy face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

٣ 3 وَقُلْ: يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَصْغِي إِلَى كَلِمَةِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالتِّلالِ وَالأَنْهَارِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ: هَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَيْفاً وَأَهْدِمُ مُرْتَفَعَاتِكُمْ،

And thou shalt say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal! Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, Behold, I, even I, will bring over you the sword, and I will destroy your high-places.

٤ 4 فَتُصْبِحُ مَذَابِحُكُمْ أَطْلالاً، وَتَتَحَطَّمُ مَذَابِحُ بَخُورِكُمْ وَأَطْرَحُ قَتْلاكُمْ أَمَامَ أَصْنَامِكُمْ،

And your altars shall be made desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cause your slain ones to fall before your idols.

٥ 5 وَأُلْقِي جُثَثَ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَمَامَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ، وَأُذَرِّي عِظَامَكُمْ حَوْلَ مَذَابِحِكُمْ.

And I will lay the carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

٦ 6 وَحَيْثُمَا تُقِيمُونَ تَتَحَوَّلُ مُدُنُكُمْ إِلَى أَطْلالٍ، وَمُرْتَفَعَاتُ عِبَادَتِكُمْ إِلَى خَرَائِبَ، وَأَصْنَامُكُمْ إِلَى حُطَامٍ وَدَمَارٍ، وَمَذَابِحُ بَخُورِكُمْ إِلَى أَنْقَاضٍ، وَأَعْمَالُكُمْ إِلَى فَنَاءٍ،

In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid in ruins, and the high-places shall be made desolate; in order that your altars may be laid in ruins and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and annihilated, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.

٧ 7 وَيَسْقُطُ الْقَتِيلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

٨ 8 وَأَعْفُو عَنْ بَقِيَّةٍ مِنْكُمْ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ نَاجُونَ مِنَ السَّيْفِ يَتَشَتَّتُونَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، إِذْ تَتَبَدَّدُونَ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

Yet will I leave [some]; that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered in the [various] countries.

٩ 9 عِنْدَئِذٍ يَذْكُرُنِي النَّاجُونَ مِنْكُمْ، الْمُشَتَّتُونَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَبَيْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا، لأَنِّي سَحَقْتُ قُلُوبَهُمُ الزَّانِيَةَ الَّتِي ضَلَّتْ عَنِّي، وَعُيُونَهُمُ الَّتِي زَاغَتْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ، فَيَعَافُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا ارْتَكَبُوهُ مِنْ شُرُورٍ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ مَا اقْتَرَفُوهُ مِنْ أَرْجَاسٍ،

And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations among whom they shall have been carried captive, when I shall have broken their licentious heart, which had departed from me, even with their eyes, which were gone astray after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves on account of the evil deeds which they have committed with all their abominations.

١٠ 10 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ عَبَثاً حِينَ تَوَعَّدْتُهُمْ بِهَذَا الشَّرِّ».

And they shall know that I am the Lord: not for naught have I spoken that I would do unto them this evil.

١١ 11 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «صَفِّقْ بِيَدَيْكَ، وَاخْبِطْ بِرِجْلِكَ قَائِلاً: آهِ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Strike thy hands together, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the dreadful abominations of the house of Israel! who will have to fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

١٢ 12 يَمُوتُ الْبَعِيدُ بِالْوَبَاءِ، وَالْقَرِيبُ يَصْرَعُهُ السَّيْفُ، وَالْبَاقِي مِنْهُمْ وَالْمُحَاصَرُ تَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَجَاعَةُ. وَهَكَذَا أَنْفُثُ فِيهِمْ حَنَقِي.

He that is afar off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I let out all my fury on them.

١٣ 13 عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، حِينَ يَتَنَاثَرُ قَتْلاهُمْ بَيْنَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ حَوْلَ مَذَابِحِهِمْ، وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ، وَعَلَى قِمَمِ جَمِيعِ الْجِبَالِ، وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَبَلُّوطَةٍ مُوْرِقَةٍ حَيْثُ كَانُوا يُقَرِّبُونَ رَائِحَةَ سُرُورٍ لِكُلِّ أَوْثَانِهِمْ.

And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain ones shall lie in the midst of their idols round about their altars, on every high hill, upon all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick-branched oak, —places where they presented sweet savor to all their idols.

١٤ 14 وَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَوَاطِنِ إِقَامَتِهِمْ، فَأَجْعَلُ الأَرْضَ خَرِبَةً مُوْحِشَةً مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ إِلَى دَبْلَةَ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And I will stretch out my hand over them, and I will render the land desolate and waste, more than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
