حِزْقِيال 6

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً:

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to 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 say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

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

Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

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

I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around 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 will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

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

The slain will fall among you, and you will 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 I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the 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،

Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

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

They will know that I am the LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”’

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

“The Lord GOD says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will 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 who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath 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.

You will know that I am the LORD when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma 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».

I will stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
