Ezekiel 11
1 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
| ثُمَّ حَلَّقَ بِي الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلاً، شَاهَدْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ الشَّعْبِ. | ١ |
2 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
| فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجَالُ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ، الْمُتَآمِرُونَ بِمَشُورَةِ السُّوءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ، | ٢ |
3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
| الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَمْ يَحِنِ الْوَقْتُ لِنَبْنِيَ حُصُوناً؟ فَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ هِيَ كَالْقِدْرِ (أَيْ كَسُورٍ حَوْلَنَا) وَنَحْنُ كَاللَّحْمِ. (أَيْ كَالْمُحْتَمِينَ بِالسُّورِ). | ٣ |
4 Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
| لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ!» | ٤ |
5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
| وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. هَذَا مَا تَحَدَّثْتُمْ بِهِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِمَا يَدُورُ فِي خَلَدِكُمْ. | ٥ |
6 You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
| لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ قَتْلاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَوَارِعَهَا. | ٦ |
7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
| لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ قَتْلاكُمُ الَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسَطِهَا هُمُ اللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ الْقِدْرُ، وَسَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا. | ٧ |
8 You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
| قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لِذَلِكَ أَجْلِبُ السَّيْفَ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٨ |
9 I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
| وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى قَبْضَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، وَأُنَفِّذُ فِيكُمْ أَحْكَاماً، | ٩ |
10 You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
| فَتُقْتَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ. وَأُنَفِّذُ قَضَاءً فِيكُمْ فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ. | ١٠ |
11 The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
| لَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لَكُمْ قِدْراً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَنْ تَكُونُوا اللَّحْمَ فِي وَسَطِهَا. بَلْ أُنَفِّذُ قَضَائِي فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١١ |
12 Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
| فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا أَحْكَامَهُ بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى مُمَارَسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ». | ١٢ |
13 Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
| وَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَتُبِيدُ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ١٣ |
14 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٤ |
15 “Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لإِخْوَتِكَ، وَأَقْرِبَائِكَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الشَّتَاتِ مَعَكَ، الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِذْ لَنَا قَدْ وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثاً. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ بَيْنَ الْبِلادِ، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِساً صَغِيراً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَبَدَّدُوا فِيهَا. | ١٦ |
17 Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
| لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: سَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَمِنَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِيهَا وَأَهَبُكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٧ |
18 When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
| وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَزِعُونَ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ أَوْثَانِهَا الْمَمْقُوتَةِ وَرَجَاسَاتِهَا، | ١٨ |
19 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
| وَأُعْطِيهِمْ جَمِيعاً قَلْباً وَاحِداً، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ رُوحاً جَدِيداً، وَأُزِيلُ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ. وَأَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِقَلْبٍ مِنْ لَحْمٍ، | ١٩ |
20 so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
| لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيُطِيعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيُمَارِسُوهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً. | ٢٠ |
21 But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
| أَمَّا الَّذِينَ ضَلَّتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ عِقَابَ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٢١ |
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
| ثُمَّ فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا مَعَ الْعَجَلاتِ وَمَعَ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقُ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
| وَارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
| وَحَلَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي، فِي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا لِي رُوحُ اللهِ، إِلَى أَرْضِ الْجَلاءِ فِي بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنِّي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا، | ٢٤ |
25 I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
| فَأَبْلَغْتُ أَهْلَ السَّبْيِ بِجَمِيعِ الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ. | ٢٥ |
