Ezekiel 20

1 In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down 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 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٢ فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.

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, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers

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

5 and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘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 On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, 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 And I said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must 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 refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in 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 acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by 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 brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.

١٠ فَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

11 And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by them.

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

12 I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

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

13 Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.

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 acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

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

15 Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, 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 kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.

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

17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.

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

18 In the wilderness I said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep 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 practice them.

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

20 Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so 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 or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent 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 But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

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

23 However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.

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

24 For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.

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

25 I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.

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

26 And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire—so that I might devastate them, in order that they would 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 that this is what the Lord GOD says: In this way also your fathers blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness 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 When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that provoked Me, sent up their fragrant incense, and 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 So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)

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

30 Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did, prostituting yourselves with their abominations?

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

31 When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted 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 When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.

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

33 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.

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

34 With a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered.

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

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, where 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, declares the Lord GOD.

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

37 I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

٣٧ وَأُمِرُّكُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلْعَصَا، وَأُدْخِلُكُمْ فِي رِبَاطِ ٱلْعَهْدِ.

38 And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter 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 And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and 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 on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.

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 When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through 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 Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give 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 the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils you have done.

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

44 Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares 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 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

٤٥ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

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

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

47 Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.

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 Then all people 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 are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”

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