حِزْقِيال 7

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ قَائِلاً:

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,

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

Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.

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

The end is come on you,

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

the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.

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

Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.

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

Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike [you].

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

Now the end [is come] to you, and I will send [judgment] upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.

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

Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

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

For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.

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

Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,

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

pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.

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

The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.

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 the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.

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

Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.

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

[There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.

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

But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.

١٧ 17 جَمِيعُ الأَيْدِي مُسْتَرْخِيَةٌ، وَكُلُّ الرُّكَبِ مَائِعَةٌ كَالْمِيَاهِ.

All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.

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

And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.

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 shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.

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

[As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.

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

And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.

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

And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.

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

And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.

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

And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.

٢٥ 25 وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُ الرُّعْبُ يَلْتَمِسُونَ السَّلامَ فَلا يَجِدُونَهُ،

And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall 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.

There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

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

The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
