Ezekiel 23
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ |
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
| «يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَانَ ٱمْرَأَتَانِ ٱبْنَتَا أُمٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ، | ٢ |
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
| وَزَنَتَا بِمِصْرَ. فِي صِبَاهُمَا زَنَتَا. هُنَاكَ دُغْدِغَتْ ثُدِيُّهُمَا، وَهُنَاكَ تَزَغْزَغَتْ تَرَائِبُ عُذْرَتِهِمَا. | ٣ |
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
| وَٱسْمُهُمَا: أُهُولَةُ ٱلْكَبِيرَةُ، وَأُهُولِيبَةُ أُخْتُهَا. وَكَانَتَا لِي، وَوَلَدَتَا بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. وَٱسْمَاهُمَا: ٱلسَّامِرَةُ «أُهُولَةُ»، وَأُورُشَلِيمُ «أُهُولِيبَةُ». | ٤ |
5 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
| وَزَنَتْ أُهُولَةُ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَعَشِقَتْ مُحِبِّيهَا، أَشُّورَ ٱلْأَبْطَالَ | ٥ |
6 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
| ٱللَّابِسِينَ ٱلْأَسْمَانْجُونِيَّ وُلَاةً وَشِحَنًا، كُلُّهُمْ شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ، فُرْسَانٌ رَاكِبُونَ ٱلْخَيْلَ. | ٦ |
7 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
| فَدَفَعَتْ لَهُمْ عُقْرَهَا لِمُخْتَارِي بَنِي أَشُّورَ كُلِّهِمْ، وَتَنَجَّسَتْ بِكُلِّ مَنْ عَشِقَتْهُمْ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 She has not left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
| وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْ زِنَاهَا مِنْ مِصْرَ أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَاجَعُوهَا فِي صِبَاهَا، وَزَغْزَغُوا تَرَائِبَ عِذْرَتِهَا وَسَكَبُوا عَلَيْهَا زِنَاهُمْ. | ٨ |
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
| لِذَلِكَ سَلَّمْتُهَا لِيَدِ عُشَّاقِهَا، لِيَدِ بَنِي أَشُّورَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَشِقَتْهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
| هُمْ كَشَفُوا عَوْرَتَهَا. أَخَذُوا بَنِيهَا وَبَنَاتِهَا، وَذَبَحُوهَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَصَارَتْ عِبْرَةً لِلنِّسَاءِ. وَأَجْرَوْا عَلَيْهَا حُكْمًا. | ١٠ |
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
| «فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أُخْتُهَا أُهُولِيبَةُ ذَلِكَ أَفْسَدَتْ فِي عِشْقِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا، وَفِي زِنَاهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زِنَا أُخْتِهَا. | ١١ |
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
| عَشِقَتْ بَنِي أَشُّورَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلشِّحَنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالَ ٱللَّابِسِينَ أَفْخَرَ لِبَاسٍ، فُرْسَانًا رَاكِبِينَ ٱلْخَيْلَ كُلُّهُمْ شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
| فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهَا قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ، وَلِكِلْتَيْهِمَا طَرِيقٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. | ١٣ |
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
| وَزَادَتْ زِنَاهَا. وَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى رِجَالٍ مُصَوَّرِينَ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، صُوَرُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ مُصَوَّرَةٍ بِمُغْرَةٍ، | ١٤ |
15 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
| مُنَطَّقِينَ بِمَنَاطِقَ عَلَى أَحْقَائِهِمْ، عَمَائِمُهُمْ مَسْدُولَةٌ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. كُلُّهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ رُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتٍ شِبْهُ بَنِي بَابِلَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ أَرْضُ مِيلَادِهِمْ، | ١٥ |
16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
| عَشِقَتْهُمْ عِنْدَ لَمْحِ عَيْنَيْهَا إِيَّاهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ رُسُلًا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٦ |
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
| فَأَتَاهَا بَنُو بَابِلَ فِي مَضْجَعِ ٱلْحُبِّ وَنَجَّسُوهَا بِزِنَاهُمْ، فَتَنَجَّسَتْ بِهِمْ، وجَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُهَا. | ١٧ |
18 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
| وَكَشَفَتْ زِنَاهَا وَكَشَفَتْ عَوْرَتَهَا، فَجَفَتْهَا نَفْسِي، كَمَا جَفَتْ نَفْسِي أُخْتَهَا. | ١٨ |
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
| وَأَكْثَرَتْ زِنَاهَا بِذِكْرِهَا أَيَّامَ صِبَاهَا ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا زَنَتْ بِأَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١٩ |
20 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
| وَعَشِقَتْ مَعْشُوقِيهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَحْمُهُمْ كَلَحْمِ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَمَنِيُّهُمْ كَمَنِيِّ ٱلْخَيْلِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
| وَٱفْتَقَدْتِ رَذِيلَةَ صِبَاكِ بِزَغْزَغَةِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ تَرَائِبَكِ لِأَجْلِ ثَدْيِ صِبَاكِ. | ٢١ |
22 “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
| «لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَا أُهُولِيبَةُ، هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُهَيِّجُ عَلَيْكِ عُشَّاقَكِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُكِ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ: | ٢٢ |
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
| بَنِي بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَقُودَ وَشُوعَ وَقُوعَ، وَمَعَهُمْ كُلُّ بَنِي أَشُّورَ، شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ، وُلَاةٌ وَشِحَنٌ كُلُّهُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَشُهَرَاءُ. كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُونَ ٱلْخَيْلَ. | ٢٣ |
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
| فَيَأْتُونَ عَلَيْكِ بِأَسْلِحَةٍ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَجَلَاتٍ، وَبِجَمَاعَةِ شُعُوبٍ يُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْكِ ٱلتُّرْسَ وَٱلْمِجَنَّ وَٱلْخُوذَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِكِ، وَأُسَلِّمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُكْمَ فَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ بِأَحْكَامِهِمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
| وَأَجْعَلُ غَيْرَتِي عَلَيْكِ فَيُعَامِلُونَكِ بِٱلسَّخَطِ. يَقْطَعُونَ أَنْفَكِ وَأُذُنَيْكِ، وَبَقِيَّتُكِ تَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. يَأْخُذُونَ بَنِيكِ وَبَنَاتِكِ، وَتُؤْكَلُ بَقِيَّتُكِ بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٢٥ |
26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
| وَيَنْزِعُونَ عَنْكِ ثِيَابَكِ، وَيَأْخُذُونَ أَدَوَاتِ زِينَتِكِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
| وَأُبَطِّلُ رَذِيلَتَكِ عَنْكِ وَزِنَاكِ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَلَا تَرْفَعِينَ عَيْنَيْكِ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَذْكُرِينَ مِصْرَ بَعْدُ. | ٢٧ |
28 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُسَلِّمُكِ لِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْغَضْتِهِمْ، لِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُكِ. | ٢٨ |
29 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
| فَيُعَامِلُونَكِ بِٱلْبُغْضَاءِ وَيَأْخُذُونَ كُلَّ تَعَبِكِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَكِ عُرْيَانَةً وَعَارِيَةً، فَتَنْكَشِفُ عَوْرَةُ زِنَاكِ وَرَذِيلَتُكِ وَزِنَاكِ. | ٢٩ |
30 These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
| أَفْعَلُ بِكِ هَذَا لِأَنَّكِ زَنَيْتِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِأَنَّكِ تَنَجَّسْتِ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٣٠ |
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
| فِي طَرِيقِ أُخْتِكِ سَلَكْتِ فَأَدْفَعُ كَأْسَهَا لِيَدِكِ. | ٣١ |
32 “The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنَّكِ تَشْرَبِينَ كَأْسَ أُخْتِكِ ٱلْعَمِيقَةَ ٱلْكَبِيرَةَ. تَكُونِينَ لِلضَّحِكِ وَلِلِٱسْتِهْزَاءِ. تَسَعُ كَثِيرًا. | ٣٢ |
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
| تَمْتَلِئِينَ سُكْرًا وَحُزْنًا، كَأْسَ ٱلتَّحَيُّرِ وَٱلْخَرَابِ، كَأْسَ أُخْتِكِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
| فَتَشْرَبِينَهَا وَتَمْتَصِّينَهَا وَتَقْضَمِينَ شُقَفَهَا وَتَجْتَثِّينَ ثَدْيَيْكِ، لِأَنِّي تَكَلَّمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكِ نَسِيتِنِي وَطَرَحْتِنِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكِ، فَتَحْمِلِي أَيْضًا رَذِيلَتَكِ وَزِنَاكِ». | ٣٥ |
36 The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَحْكُمُ عَلَى أُهُولَةَ وَأُهُولِيبَةَ؟ بَلْ أَخْبِرْهُمَا بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمَا، | ٣٦ |
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
| لِأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ زَنَتَا وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمَا دَمٌ، وَزَنَتَا بِأَصْنَامِهِمَا وَأَيْضًا أَجَازَتَا بَنِيهِمَا ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتَاهُمْ لِي ٱلنَّارَ أَكْلًا لَهَا. | ٣٧ |
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
| وَفَعَلَتَا أَيْضًا بِي هَذَا: نَجَّسَتَا مَقْدِسِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَدَنَّسَتَا سُبُوتِي. | ٣٨ |
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
| وَلَمَّا ذَبَحَتَا بَنِيهِمَا لِأَصْنَامِهِمَا، أَتَتَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى مَقْدِسِي لِتُنَجِّسَاهُ. فَهُوَذَا هَكَذَا فَعَلَتَا فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِي. | ٣٩ |
40 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
| بَلْ أَرْسَلْتُمَا إِلَى رِجَالٍ آتِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولٌ فَهُوَذَا جَاءُوا. هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لِأَجْلِهِمِ ٱسْتَحْمَمْتِ وَكَحَّلْتِ عَيْنَيْكِ وَتَحَلَّيْتِ بِٱلْحُلِيِّ، | ٤٠ |
41 and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
| وَجَلَسْتِ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ فَاخِرٍ أَمَامَهُ مَائِدَةٌ مُنَضَّضَةٌ، وَوَضَعْتِ عَلَيْهَا بَخُورِي وَزَيْتِي. | ٤١ |
42 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
| وَصَوْتُ جُمْهُورٍ مُتَرَفِّهِينَ مَعَهَا، مَعَ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ رَعَاعِ ٱلْخَلْقِ. أُتِيَ بِسَكَارَى مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا أَسْوِرَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا وَتَاجَ جَمَالٍ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمَا. | ٤٢ |
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
| فَقُلْتُ عَنِ ٱلْبَالِيَةِ فِي ٱلزِّنَا: ٱلْآنَ يَزْنُونَ زِنًا مَعَهَا وَهِيَ. | ٤٣ |
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
| فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهَا كَمَا يُدْخَلُ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ. هَكَذَا دَخَلُوا عَلَى أُهُولَةَ وَعَلَى أُهُولِيبَةَ ٱلْمَرْأَتَيْنِ ٱلزَّانِيَتَيْنِ. | ٤٤ |
45 Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
| وَٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ هُمْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْهِمَا حُكْمَ زَانِيَةٍ وَحُكْمَ سَفَّاكَةِ ٱلدَّمِ، لِأَنَّهُمَا زَانِيَتَانِ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمَا دَمٌ. | ٤٥ |
46 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أُصْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمَا جَمَاعَةً وَأُسَلِّمُهُمَا لِلْجَوْرِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ. | ٤٦ |
47 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
| وَتَرْجُمُهُمَا ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَيُقَطِّعُونَهُمَا بِسُيُوفِهِمْ، وَيَذْبَحُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمَا وَبَنَاتِهِمَا، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بُيُوتَهُمَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٤٧ |
48 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
| فَأُبَطِّلُ ٱلرَّذِيلَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَتَأَدَّبُ جَمِيعُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَلَا يَفْعَلْنَ مِثْلَ رَذِيلَتِكُمَا. | ٤٨ |
49 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
| وَيَرُدُّونَ عَلَيْكُمَا رَذِيلَتَكُمَا، فَتَحْمِلَانِ خَطَايَا أَصْنَامِكُمَا، وَتَعْلَمَانِ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٤٩ |
