حِزْقِيال 7

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ لأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. النَّهَايَةُ قَدْ أَزِفَتْ عَلَى زَوَايَا الأَرْضِ الأَرْبَعِ.

“And as for you, son of man: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is coming, the end is coming, over the four regions of the earth.

٣ 3 قَدْ أَقْبَلَتِ النَّهَايَةُ عَلَيْكِ، فَأُطْلِقُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ وَأَدِينُكِ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِكِ، وَأُجَازِيكِ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِكِ يَا أَرْضَ إِسْرَائيلَ،

Now the end is over you, and I will send my fury upon you. And I will judge you according to your ways. And I will place all your abominations before you.

٤ 4 فَلا تَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَيْكِ عَيْنِي، وَلا أَعْفُو، بَلْ أُجَازِيكِ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِكِ، وَتَكُونُ رَجَاسَاتُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ. عِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And my eye will not be lenient over you, and I will not take pity. Instead, I will set your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

٥ 5 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَرٌّ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ، شَرٌّ لَا مَثِيلَ لَهُ.

Thus says the Lord God: “One affliction, behold, one affliction is approaching.

٦ 6 قَدْ حَانَتِ النَّهَايَةُ قَدْ حَانَتِ النَّهَايَةُ. انْتَبَهَتْ لَكِ، وَهَا هِيَ مُقْبِلَةٌ.

The end is coming, the end is coming. It has been vigilant against you. Behold, it is approaching.

٧ 7 قَدْ حَلَّ بِكَ الْقَضَاءُ يَا سَاكِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَأَزِفَ الْمَوْعِدُ، اقْتَرَبَ يَوْمُ الاضْطِرَابِ لَا يَوْمُ الْهُتَافِ فِي الْجِبَالِ.

Destruction is coming over you, who live upon the earth. The time is approaching, the day of slaughter is near, and it is not of the glory of the mountains.

٨ 8 أَنَا مُوْشِكٌ عَلَى صَبِّ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ وَأَنْفُثُ غَيْظِي فِيكِ، وَأَدِينُكِ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِكِ، وَأُجَازِيكِ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِكِ،

Now, very soon, I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will fulfill my fury in you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and I will set upon you all your crimes.

٩ 9 فَلا تَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَيْكِ عَيْنِي وَلا أَعْفُو، بَلْ أُجَازِيكِ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِكِ، وَتَكُونُ رَجَاسَاتُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ. وَعِنْدَئِذٍ تُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الضَّارِبُ.

And my eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. Instead, I will place your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, who is striking.

١٠ 10 هَا هُوَ الْيَوْمُ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ! قَدْ حَانَ الْقَضَاءُ وَأَزْهَرَ الظُّلْمُ وَأَفْرَخَتِ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ

Behold, the day! Behold, it approaches! Destruction has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, arrogance has germinated.

١١ 11 انْتَصَبَ الْجَوْرُ وَصَارَ عَصاً لِلشَّرِّ، لِذَلِكَ يَفْنَى الظَّالِمُونَ وَتَفْنَى ثَرْوَتُهُمْ وَضَجِيجُهُمْ وَلا مَنْ يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Iniquity has risen up into a rod of impiety. There shall be nothing left of them, and of their people, and of the sound of them. And there shall be no rest for them.

١٢ 12 قَدْ حَانَ الْمَوْعِدُ وَاقْتَرَبَ الْيَوْمُ، فَلا يَفْرَحَنَّ الْمُشْتَرِي وَلا يَحْزَنَنَّ الْبَائِعُ، لأَنَّ الْغَضَبَ مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى جُمْهُورِهِمْ بِأَسْرِهِ.

The time is approaching; the day is very near. Whoever buys should not rejoice. And whoever sells should not mourn. For wrath is over all of their people.

١٣ 13 فَالْبَائِعُ لَنْ يَسْتَرِدَّ مَا بَاعَهُ مَهْمَا طَالَ بِهِ الْعُمْرُ لأَنَّ قَضَاءَ اللهِ يَنْطَبِقُ عَلَى كُلِّ جُمْهُورِهِمْ وَلَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْهُمْ، وَلَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الشِّرِّيرِ أَنْ يَحْتَفِظَ بِحَيَاتِهِ.

For whoever sells will not return to what he has sold, but as yet their life will be among the living. For the vision concerning their entire multitude will not turn back. And man will not be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.

١٤ 14 قَدْ نَفَخُوا فِي الْبُوقِ، وَأَعَدُّوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مَنْ يَذْهَبُ لِخَوْضِ الْقِتَالِ، لأَنَّ غَضَبِي مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى جُمْهُورِهِمْ.

Sound the trumpet! Let everyone be prepared! And yet there is no one who may go to battle. For my wrath is over all their people.

١٥ 15 السَّيْفُ مُسَلَّطٌ مِنْ خَارِجٍ، وَالْوَبَاءُ وَالْجُوعُ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ. وَالَّذِي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ يَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ السَّيْفُ، وَمَنْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ يَفْتَرِسُهُ الْجُوعُ وَالْوَبَاءُ.

The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. And whoever is in the city will be devoured by the pestilence and the famine.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا النَّاجُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَيَلُوذُونَ بِالْجِبَالِ كَحَمَامِ الأَوْدِيَةِ، يَبْكِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِ.

And those who flee from among them will be saved. And they will be among the mountains, like doves in steep valleys, with every one of them trembling, each one because of his iniquity.

١٧ 17 جَمِيعُ الأَيْدِي مُسْتَرْخِيَةٌ، وَكُلُّ الرُّكَبِ مَائِعَةٌ كَالْمِيَاهِ.

All hands will be weakened, and all knees will flow with water.

١٨ 18 يَتَلَفَّعُونَ بِالْمُسُوحِ، وَيَغْشَاهُمُ الرُّعْبُ، وَيَكْسُو الْعَارُ وُجُوهَهُمْ جَمِيعاً، وَيَطْغَى الْقَرَعُ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ.

And they will wrap themselves with haircloth, and dread will cover them. And shame will be upon every face, and baldness will be upon all of their heads.

١٩ 19 يَطْرَحُونَ فِضَّتَهُمْ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ، وَيَضْحَى ذَهَبُهُمْ نَجَاسَةً، وَتَعْجِزُ فِضَّتُهُمْ وَذَهَبُهُمْ عَنْ إِنْقَاذِهِمْ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ. لَا يُشْبِعُونَ مِنْهُمَا جُوعَهُمْ، وَلا يَمْلأُونَ مِنْهُمَا أَجْوَافَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مَعْثَرَةَ إِثْمٍ لَهُمْ.

Their silver will be thrown away, and their gold will be like a dunghill. Their silver and their gold will have no power to free them in the day of the fury of the Lord. They will not satisfy their soul, and their bellies will not be filled, because of the scandal of their iniquity.

٢٠ 20 حَوَّلُوا جَمَالَ زِينَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى زَهْوٍ، وَصَنَعُوا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ تَمَاثِيلَ أَرْجَاسِهِمْ وَأَصْنَامِهِمِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُهَا رَجَاسَةً لَهُمْ.

And they have set arrogance as the ornament of their necklaces, and they have made images of their abominations and graven idols. Because of this, I have let it be an uncleanness for them.

٢١ 21 أُسْلِمُهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي الْغُرَبَاءِ نَهْباً، وَلأَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ سَلْباً فَيُنَجِّسُونَهَا.

And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as a spoil, and to the impious of the earth as a prey, and they will defile it.

٢٢ 22 وَأُشِيحُ بِوَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ فَيُدَنِّسُونَ هَيْكَلِي، وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ النَّاهِبُونَ وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ.

And I will avert my face from them, and they will violate my place of mystery. And untamed persons will enter into it, and they will defile it.

٢٣ 23 اصْنَعِ السِّلْسِلَةَ لِشَعْبِي لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ عَمَّهَا سَفْكُ الدِّمَاءِ، وَسَادَ الْمَدِينَةَ الْجَوْرُ.

Cause it to be closed. For the land has been filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ، أَجْلِبُ أَشَرَّ الأُمَمِ فَيَرِثُونَ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى كِبْرِيَاءِ الأَقْوِيَاءِ فَتَتَنَجَّسُ مَقَادِسُهُمْ.

And I will lead in the most sinful among the Gentiles, and they will possess their houses. And I will cause the arrogance of the powerful to be quieted. And they will possess their sanctuaries.

٢٥ 25 وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُ الرُّعْبُ يَلْتَمِسُونَ السَّلامَ فَلا يَجِدُونَهُ،

When anguish overwhelms them, they will seek peace, and there will be none.

٢٦ 26 وَتَتَوَالَى بَلِيَّةٌ فَوْقَ بَلِيَّةٍ، وَتَرُوجُ إِشَاعَةٌ تِلْوَ إِشَاعَةٍ، فَيَطْلُبُونَ رُؤْيَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ تَنْصَرِفُ عَنِ الْكَاهِنِ وَالْمَشُورَةَ عَنِ الشُّيُوخِ.

Disturbance will follow after disturbance, and rumor after rumor. And they will seek the vision of the prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel will perish from the elders.

٢٧ 27 يَنُوحُ الْمَلِكُ وَيَتَلَفَّعُ الرَّئِيسُ بِالْيَأْسِ، وَتَرْجُفُ أَيْدِي الشَّعْبِ. أُعَامِلُهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى تَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ، وَأَدِينُهُمْ بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِهِمْ فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with grief, and the hands of the people of the earth will be greatly disturbed. I will act toward them in accord with their own way, and I will judge them in accord with their own judgments. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
