Ezekiel 20

1 In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

١ وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءُوا لِيَسْأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي.

2 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

٢ فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’

٣ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَلِّمْ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ آتُونَ لِتَسْأَلُونِي؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

4 “Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.

٤ هَلْ تَدِينُهُمْ؟ هَلْ تَدِينُ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ عَرِّفْهُمْ رَجَاسَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ،

5 Tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, ‘I am the LORD your God;’

٥ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ ٱخْتَرْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِنَسْلِ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَرَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي قَائِلًا: أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،

6 in that day I swore to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

٦ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُهَا لَهُمْ، تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي،

7 I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’

٧ وَقُلْتُ لَهُمُ: ٱطْرَحُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

8 “‘“But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me. They did not all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also did not forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.

٨ فَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحِ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْهُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا أَصْنَامَ مِصْرَ. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي فِي وَسْطِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

9 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

٩ لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ بِإِخْرَاجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

10 So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

١٠ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

11 I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

١١ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ فَرَائِضِي وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا.

12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

١٢ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا سُبُوتِي لِتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ، لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ.

13 “‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

١٣ «فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَرَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي كَثِيرًا. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِإِفْنَائِهِمْ.

14 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

١٤ لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ.

15 Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,

١٥ وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ بِأَنِّي لَا آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

16 because they rejected my ordinances, and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

١٦ لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي، بَلْ نَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُمْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ.

17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them. I did not make a full end of them in the wilderness.

١٧ لَكِنَّ عَيْنِي أَشْفَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَنْ إِهْلَاكِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أُفْنِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

18 I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers. Do not observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

١٨ وَقُلْتُ لِأَبْنَائِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: لَا تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَلَا تَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامَهُمْ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ.

19 I am the LORD your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.

١٩ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَٱسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَٱحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَٱعْمَلُوا بِهَا،

20 Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’

٢٠ وَقَدِّسُوا سُبُوتِي فَتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

21 “‘“But the children rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes, and did not keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

٢١ فَتَمَرَّدَ ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ عَلَيَّ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي لِيَعْمَلُوهَا، ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

٢٢ ثُمَّ كَفَفْتُ يَدِي وَصَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ.

23 Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,

٢٣ وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِأُفَرِّقَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُذَرِّيَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي،

24 because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

٢٤ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصْنَعُوا أَحْكَامِي، بَلْ رَفَضُوا فَرَائِضِي، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، وَكَانَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِ آبَائِهِمْ.

25 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they could not live.

٢٥ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضَ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ، وَأَحْكَامًا لَا يَحْيَوْنَ بِهَا،

26 I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.”’

٢٦ وَنَجَّسْتُهُمْ بِعَطَايَاهُمْ إِذْ أَجَازُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحْمٍ، لِأُبِيدَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

27 “Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

٢٧ «لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي هَذَا أَيْضًا جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ، إِذْ خَانُونِي خِيَانَةً

28 For when I had brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There they also made their pleasant aroma, and there they poured out their drink offerings.

٢٨ لَمَّا أَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، فَرَأَوْا كُلَّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ غَبْيَاءَ، فَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ، وَقَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ قَرَابِينَهُمُ ٱلْمُغِيظَةَ، وَقَدَّمُوا هُنَاكَ رَوَائِحَ سُرُورِهِمْ، وَسَكَبُوا هُنَاكَ سَكَائِبَهُمْ.

29 Then I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.”’

٢٩ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا؟ فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «مُرْتَفَعَةً» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

30 “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute after their abominations?

٣٠ «لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِطَرِيقِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَزَنَيْتُمْ وَرَاءَ أَرْجَاسِهِمْ؟

31 When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you!

٣١ وَبِتَقْدِيمِ عَطَايَاكُمْ وَإِجَازَةِ أَبْنَائِكُمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، تَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَهَلْ أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ.

32 “‘“That which comes into your mind will not be at all, in that you say, ‘We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.’

٣٢ وَٱلَّذِي يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ لَنْ يَكُونَ، إِذْ تَقُولُونَ: نَكُونُ كَٱلْأُمَمِ، كَقَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي فَنَعْبُدُ ٱلْخَشَبَ وَٱلْحَجَرَ.

33 As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.

٣٣ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ أَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ.

34 I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.

٣٤ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ.

35 I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

٣٥ وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأُحَاكِمُكُمْ هُنَاكَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ.

36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” says the Lord GOD.

٣٦ كَمَا حَاكَمْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، كَذَلِكَ أُحَاكِمُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

37 “I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

٣٧ وَأُمِرُّكُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلْعَصَا، وَأُدْخِلُكُمْ فِي رِبَاطِ ٱلْعَهْدِ.

38 I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

٣٨ وَأَعْزِلُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَٱلْعُصَاةَ عَلَيَّ. أُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

39 “‘As for you, house of Israel, the Lord GOD says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts and with your idols.

٣٩ «أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَصْنَامَهُ. وَبَعْدُ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي فَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ بَعْدُ بِعَطَايَاكُمْ وَبِأَصْنَامِكُمْ.

40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

٤٠ لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، فِي جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هُنَاكَ يَعْبُدُنِي كُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. هُنَاكَ أَرْضَى عَنْهُمْ، وَهُنَاكَ أَطْلُبُ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَبَاكُورَاتِ جِزَاكُمْ مَعَ جَمِيعِ مُقَدَّسَاتِكُمْ.

41 I will accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

٤١ بِرَائِحَةِ سُرُورِكُمْ أَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ، حِينَ أُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ،

42 You will know that I am the LORD when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.

٤٢ فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ آتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِأُعْطِي آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا.

43 There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.

٤٣ وَهُنَاكَ تَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمْ وَكُلَّ أَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِهَا، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّرُورِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلْتُمْ.

44 You will know that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.’”

٤٤ فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِذَا فَعَلْتُ بِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي. لَا كَطُرُقِكُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَلَا كَأَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلْفَاسِدَةِ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

45 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

٤٥ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

46 “Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south.

٤٦ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ، وَتَكَلَّمْ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى وَعْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْجَنُوبِ،

47 Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear the LORD’s word: The Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.

٤٧ وَقُلْ لِوَعْرِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُضْرِمُ فِيكَ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِيكَ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ. لَا يُطْفَأُ لَهِيبُهَا ٱلْمُلْتَهِبُ، وَتُحْرَقُ بِهَا كُلُّ ٱلْوُجُوهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ.

48 All flesh will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.”’”

٤٨ فَيَرَى كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَضْرَمْتُهَا. لَا تُطْفَأُ».

49 Then I said, “Ah Lord GOD! They say of me, ‘Is not he a speaker of parables?’”

٤٩ فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: أَمَا يُمَثِّلُ هُوَ أَمْثَالًا؟».
