Ezekiel 22
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١ |
2 “As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations
| «وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَدِينُ الْمَدِينَةَ السَّافِكَةَ الدِّمَاءِ؟ إِذاً عَرِّفْهَا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهَا، | ٢ |
3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,
| وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي تَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ فِي وَسَطِهَا لِتَسْتَجْلِبَ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، الَّتِي تَصْنَعُ لِنَفْسِهَا أَصْنَاماً تَتَنَجَّسُ بِها. | ٣ |
4 you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
| قَدْ أَثِمْتِ بِمَا سَفَكْتِ مِنْ دِمَاءٍ، وَتَنَجَّسْتِ بِمَا عَمِلْتِ مِنْ أَصْنَامِكِ. قَدْ قَرَّبْتِ يَوْمَ دَيْنُونَتِكِ، وَبَلَغْتِ مُنْتَهَى أَيَّامِكِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُكِ عَاراً عِنْدَ الأُمَمِ وَمَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الْبُلْدَانِ. | ٤ |
5 Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
| تَسْخَرُ مِنْكِ الْبُلْدَانُ الْقَرِيبَةُ وَالنَّائِيَةُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ، أَنْتِ يَا نَجِسَةُ، يَا كَثِيرَةَ الشَّغَبِ. | ٥ |
6 See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
| هُوَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ كَانُوا فِيكِ انْهَمَكَ فِي سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ. | ٦ |
7 Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
| فِيكِ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ وَجَارُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ عَلَى الْغَرِيبِ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ، | ٧ |
8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
| احْتَقَرْتِ مُقَدَّسَاتِي وَنَجَّسْتِ أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي. | ٨ |
9 Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
| أَقَامَ فِيكِ وُشَاةٌ عَمِلُوا عَلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ، وَأَكَلُوا أَمَامَ الأَصْنَامِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَارْتَكَبُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ. | ٩ |
10 In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
| فِيكِ فَضَحَ الإِنْسَانُ عُرْيَ أَبِيهِ، وَفِيكِ أَذَلُّوا مَنْ بَرِحَتْ مُتَنَجِّسَةً بِطَمْثِهَا. | ١٠ |
11 One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
| فِيكِ إِنْسَانٌ زَنَى مَعَ امْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، وَاقْتَرَفَ إِنْسَانٌ الرَّذِيلَةَ مَعَ كَنَّتِهِ، وَفِيكِ ضَاجَعَ إِنْسَانٌ أُخْتَهُ ابْنَةَ أَبِيهِ. | ١١ |
12 In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
| فِيكِ أَخَذُوا الرِّشْوَةَ لِقَاءَ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ. أَخَذْتِ الرِّبَا وَمَالَ الْحَرَامِ، وَسَلَبْتِ أَقْرِبَاءَكِ ظُلْماً وَنَسِيتِنِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. | ١٢ |
13 Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
| هَا أَنَا قَدْ صَفَّقْتُ بِكَفِّي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا حَصَلْتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِبْحٍ حَرَامٍ، وَمَا سُفِكَ مِنْ دَمٍ فِي وَسَطِكِ. | ١٣ |
14 Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
| فَهَلْ يَصْمُدُ قَلْبُكِ أَوْ تَحْتَفِظُ يَدَاكِ بِقُوَّتِهِمَا فِي الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي فِيهَا أَتَعَامَلُ مَعَكِ؟ أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأُتَمِّمُ مَا أَنْطِقُ بِهِ. | ١٤ |
15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
| سَأُشَتِّتُكِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأُبَعْثِرُكِ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، وَأُزِيلُ نَجَاسَتَكِ مِنْكِ. | ١٥ |
16 And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
| وَتَتَدَنَّسِينَ بِنَفْسِكِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ، وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ١٦ |
17 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١٧ |
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ أَصْبَحَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي نُفَايَةً. كُلُّهُمْ مِثْلُ النُّحَاسِ وَالْقَصْدِيرِ وَالْحَدِيدِ وَالرَّصَاصِ فِي كُورٍ. صَارُوا حُثَالَةَ فِضَّةٍ. | ١٨ |
19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
| لأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ قَدْ صِرْتُمْ نُفَايَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٩ |
20 Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
| كَمَا تُجْمَعُ الْفِضَّةُ وَالنُّحَاسُ وَالْحَدِيدُ وَالرَّصَاصُ وَالْقَصْدِيرُ فِي الْكُورِ، لِتُنْفَخَ عَلَيْهَا نَارٌ لِتُسْبَكَ. كَذَلِكَ أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ وَأَسْبِكُكُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
| أَجْمَعُكُمْ وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي نَارِ غَضَبِي فَتُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا | ٢١ |
22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
| كَمَا تُسْبَكُ الْفِضَّةُ فِي بَوتَقَةِ النَّارِ، هَكَذَا تُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ سَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكُمْ». | ٢٢ |
23 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
| وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ٢٣ |
24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of indignation, you are a land that has not been cleansed, upon which no rain has fallen.’
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهَا: أَنْتِ أَرْضٌ لَمْ تَتَطَهَّرِي وَلَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ. | ٢٤ |
25 The conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.
| تَوَاطَأَ أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا الْكَذَبَةُ فِيهَا مِثْلَ أَسَدٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يُمَزِّقُ الْفَرِيسَةَ. الْتَهَمُوا نُفُوساً، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى نَفَائِسِ النَّاسِ وَكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَكَثَّرُوا أَرَامِلَهَا فِيهَا. | ٢٥ |
26 Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
| خَالَفَ كَهَنَتُهَا شَرِيعَتِي وَنَجَّسُوا مَقَادِسِي. لَمْ يُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالرِّجْسِ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا الْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ الطَّاهِرِ وَالنَّجِسِ، وَحَجَبُوا عُيُونَهُمْ عَنْ أَيَّامِ سُبُوتِي فَصِرْتُ مُدَنَّساً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
| رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِيهَا كَذِئَابٍ خَاطِفَةٍ تُمَزِّقُ فَرَائِسَهَا إِذْ يَسْفِكُونَ دِمَاءَ النَّاسِ فِي سَبِيلِ الرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
| وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا قَدْ طَلَوْا لَهُمْ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ، إِذْ يَرَوْنَ لَهُمْ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَيَعْرُفُونَ لَهُمْ عِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، مَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يُعْلِنْ شَيْئاً. | ٢٨ |
29 The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice.
| أَفْرَطُوا فِي ظُلْمِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ وَاغْتَصَبُوا سَالِبِينَ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْفَقِيرَ وَالْمِسْكِينَ، وَظَلَمُوا الْغَرِيبَ جَوْراً. | ٢٩ |
30 I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.
| فَالْتَمَسْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ رَجُلاً وَاحِداً يَبْنِي جِدَاراً وَيَقِفُ فِي الثُّغْرَةِ أَمَامِي مُدَافِعاً عَنِ الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى لَا أَخْرِبَهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ. | ٣٠ |
31 So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
| فَصَبَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ، الْتَهَمْتُهُمْ بِنَارِ غَضَبِي، جَازَيْتُهُمْ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ٣١ |
