Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
| او همچنین فرمود: «ای پسر انسان، آنچه را که به تو می‌دهم، بخور. این طومار را بخور! بعد برو و پیغام آن را به قوم اسرائیل برسان.» |
2 And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
| پس دهانم را باز کردم و او طومار را در دهانم گذاشت تا بخورم. |
3 And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
| سپس گفت: «همه را بخور و شکمت را از آن پر کن!» من نیز آن را خوردم؛ طعمش مثل عسل شیرین بود. |
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
| آنگاه گفت: «ای پسر انسان، نزد خاندان اسرائیل برو و سخنان مرا به ایشان بگو. |
5 For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
| تو را به سرزمینی دور و بیگانه نمی‌فرستم که نتوانی زبانشان را بفهمی. |
6 Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
| تو نزد قبایلی که زبانهای عجیب و غریب و مشکل دارند، نمی‌روی؛ هر چند اگر نزد آنها می‌رفتی، به تو گوش می‌دادند. |
7 But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
| تو را نزد قوم اسرائیل می‌فرستم، ولی ایشان به سخنان تو توجهی نخواهند کرد، چون از من روگردان هستند. ایشان همگی سنگدل و سرسخت می‌باشند. |
8 See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
| بنابراین، اینک تو را نیز مانند آنها سرسخت می‌سازم، |
9 Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
| تا در مقابل ایشان مثل الماس، سخت و مانند صخره، محکم باشی. پس، از این یاغیان نترس! |
10 Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
| «ای پسر انسان، تمام سخنان مرا در فکر و دل خود جای بده و به آنها توجه کن. |
11 And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
| آنگاه نزد قومت که در تبعید هستند برو و کلام مرا به ایشان اعلام نما؛ چه گوش دهند و چه ندهند.» |
12 Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
| سپس روح خدا مرا از زمین بلند کرد و وقتی جلال خداوند از جایگاهش بلند شد، از پشت سر خود صدای غرش عظیمی شنیدم. |
13 And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
| این غرش از به هم خوردن بالهای موجودات و چرخهای کنار آنها برمی‌خاست. |
14 And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
| روح، مرا برداشت و بُرد. من با تلخی و با خشم رفتم، ولی دست پرقدرت خداوند بر من بود. |
15 Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
| سپس به تل ابیب، در کنار رود کِبار، نزد یهودیان تبعیدی آمدم. در حالی که غرق در حیرت و اندیشه بودم، هفت روز در میان ایشان نشستم. |
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
| در پایان آن هفت روز، خداوند به من فرمود: |
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
| «ای پسر انسان، من تو را برای اسرائیل به دیدبانی گماشته‌ام تا هرگاه هشداری برای قومم داشته باشم، تو آن را به ایشان برسانی. |
18 When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
| اگر من به شخص بدکاری هشدار بدهم که محکوم به هلاکت است، و تو این هشدار را به او نرسانی، او توبه نخواهد کرد و نجات نخواهد یافت. در این صورت او به سبب گناهش هلاک خواهد شد؛ اما من تو را مسئول هلاکت او خواهم دانست و انتقام خون او را از تو خواهم گرفت. |
19 But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
| ولی اگر به او هشدار دهی، و او باز به گناه خود ادامه دهد و توبه نکند، آنگاه او در گناهان خود خواهد مرد؛ اما تو مسئول نخواهی بود. |
20 Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
| اگر شخص پاک و درستکاری، بدکار و گناهکار شود و تو او را از عاقبت کارش آگاه نسازی، من او را هلاک می‌کنم و او در گناهانش خواهد مرد و اعمال خوب گذشته‌اش نیز تأثیری در محکومیتش نخواهد داشت؛ اما من تو را مسئول هلاکت او خواهم دانست و تو را مجازات خواهم نمود، |
21 But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
| ولی اگر به او اخطار کنی و او توبه کند، زنده خواهد ماند و تو نیز جان خود را نجات خواهی داد.» |
22 And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.
| در آنجا دست خداوند بر من قرار گرفت و او به من فرمود: «برخیز و به بیابان برو و من در آنجا با تو سخن خواهم گفت.» |
23 Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
| من نیز برخاستم و رفتم. در آنجا شکوه و جلال خداوند را دیدم، درست همان‌گونه که در رؤیای اول دیده بودم! آنگاه به روی خود به خاک افتادم. |
24 Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.
| سپس روح خدا داخل من شد و مرا از زمین بلند کرد و چنین فرمود: «به خانه‌ات برو و خود را در آنجا زندانی کن. |
25 But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
| تو را با طناب خواهند بست تا نتوانی حرکت کنی. |
26 And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
| زبانت را به کامت خواهم چسباند تا نتوانی این یاغیان را توبیخ و نصیحت کنی. |
27 But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
| اما هرگاه پیغامی به تو بدهم، زبانت را خواهم گشود تا بتوانی سخن بگویی و کلام مرا به ایشان اعلام نمایی. بعضی به تو گوش خواهند داد و برخی گوش نخواهند داد، چون قومی یاغی هستند.» |
