Ezekiel 36

1 And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:

١ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ لِجِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ: يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱسْمَعِي كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ:

2 This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:

٢ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ: هَهْ! إِنَّ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةَ صَارَتْ لَنَا مِيرَاثًا،

3 For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

٣ فَلِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَخْرَبُوكُمْ وَتَهَمَّمُوكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ لِتَكُونُوا مِيرَاثًا لِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُصْعِدْتُمْ عَلَى شِفَاهِ ٱللِّسَانِ، وَصِرْتُمْ مَذَمَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ،

4 For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

٤ لِذَلِكَ فَٱسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْجِبَالِ وَلِلْآكَامِ وَلِلْأَنْهَارِ وَلِلْأَوْدِيَةِ وَلِلْخِرَبِ ٱلْمُقْفِرَةِ وَلِلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمَهْجُورَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ لِلنَّهْبِ وَٱلِٱسْتِهْزَاءِ لِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهَا.

5 For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

٥ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي فِي نَارِ غَيْرَتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَعَلَى أَدُومَ كُلِّهَا، ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا أَرْضِي مِيرَاثًا لَهُمْ بِفَرَحِ كُلِّ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَبُغْضَةِ نَفْسٍ لِنَهْبِهَا غَنِيمَةً.

6 For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

٦ فَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لِلْجِبَالِ وَلِلْتِّلَالِ وَلِلْأَنْهَارِ وَلِلْأَوْدِيَةِ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا فِي غَيْرَتِي وَفِي غَضَبِي تَكَلَّمْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ حَمَلْتُمْ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

7 For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.

٧ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي، فَٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ هُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ.

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.

٨ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُنْبِتُونَ فُرُوعَكُمْ وَتُثْمِرُونَ ثَمَرَكُمْ لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَرِيبُ ٱلْإِتْيَانِ.

9 For truly I am for you, and I will be turned to you, and you will be ploughed and planted:

٩ لِأَنِّي أَنَا لَكُمْ وَأَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فَتُحْرَثُونَ وَتُزْرَعُونَ.

10 And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;

١٠ وَأُكَثِّرُ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْكُمْ، كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، فَتُعْمَرُ ٱلْمُدُنُ وَتُبْنَى ٱلْخِرَبُ.

11 Man and beast will be increased in you, and they will have offspring and be fertile: I will make you thickly peopled as you were before, and will do more for you than at the first: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

١١ وَأُكَثِّرُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْبَهِيمَةَ فَيَكْثُرُونَ وَيُثْمِرُونَ، وَأُسَكِّنُكُمْ حَسَبَ حَالَتِكُمُ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ، وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا فِي أَوَائِلِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

12 Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

١٢ وَأُمَشِّي ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْكُمْ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَرِثُونَكَ فَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِيرَاثًا وَلَا تَعُودُ بَعْدُ تُثْكِلُهُمْ.

13 This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

١٣ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَكُمْ: أَنْتِ أَكَّالَةُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمُثْكِلَةُ شُعُوبِكِ.

14 For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

١٤ لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَأْكُلِي ٱلنَّاسَ بَعْدُ، وَلَا تُثْكِلِي شُعُوبَكِ بَعْدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

15 And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.

١٥ وَلَا أُسَمِّعُ فِيكِ مِنْ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلَا تَحْمِلِينَ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بَعْدُ، وَلَا تُعْثِرِينَ شُعُوبَكِ بَعْدُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

16 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١٦ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

17 Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

١٧ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا سَكَنُوا أَرْضَهُمْ نَجَّسُوهَا بِطَرِيقِهِمْ وَبِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. كَانَتْ طَرِيقُهُمْ أَمَامِي كَنَجَاسَةِ ٱلطَّامِثِ،

18 So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

١٨ فَسَكَبْتُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلدَّمِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكُوهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَبِأَصْنَامِهِمْ نَجَّسُوهَا.

19 And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.

١٩ فَبَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ فَتَذَرَّوْا فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. كَطَرِيقِهِمْ وَكَأَفْعَالِهِمْ دِنْتُهُمْ.

20 And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.

٢٠ فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جَاءُوا نَجَّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ، إِذْ قَالُوا لَهُمْ: هَؤُلَاءِ شَعْبُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

21 But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.

٢١ فَتَحَنَّنْتُ عَلَى ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسَهُ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جَاءُوا.

22 For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.

٢٢ «لِذَلِكَ فَقُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا صَانِعٌ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسْتُمُوهُ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ حَيْثُ جِئْتُمْ.

23 And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

٢٣ فَأُقَدِّسُ ٱسْمِي ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلْمُنَجَّسَ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلَّذِي نَجَّسْتُمُوهُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، فَتَعْلَمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ.

24 For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.

٢٤ وَآخُذُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ.

25 And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

٢٥ وَأَرُشُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَاءً طَاهِرًا فَتُطَهَّرُونَ. مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ أُطَهِّرُكُمْ.

26 And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

٢٦ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ قَلْبًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ رُوحًا جَدِيدَةً فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ ٱلْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِكُمْ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ.

27 And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.

٢٧ وَأَجْعَلُ رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ، وَأَجْعَلُكُمْ تَسْلُكُونَ فِي فَرَائِضِي، وَتَحْفَظُونَ أَحْكَامِي وَتَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا.

28 So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

٢٨ وَتَسْكُنُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا.

29 And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.

٢٩ وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَاتِكُمْ. وَأَدْعُو ٱلْحِنْطَةَ وَأُكَثِّرُهَا وَلَا أَضَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ جُوعًا.

30 And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

٣٠ وَأُكَثِّرُ ثَمَرَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَغَلَّةَ ٱلْحَقْلِ لِكَيْلَا تَنَالُوا بَعْدُ عَارَ ٱلْجُوعِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

31 And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.

٣١ فَتَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمُ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ غَيْرَ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ آثَامِكُمْ وَعَلَى رَجَاسَاتِكُمْ.

32 Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.

٣٢ لَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا صَانِعٌ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُومًا لَكُمْ. فَٱخْجَلُوا وَٱخْزَوْا مِنْ طُرُقِكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

33 This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.

٣٣ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ تَطْهِيرِي إِيَّاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ آثَامِكُمْ، أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ، فَتُبْنَى ٱلْخِرَبُ.

34 And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.

٣٤ وَتُفْلَحُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ عِوَضًا عَنْ كَوْنِهَا خَرِبَةً أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ عَابِرٍ.

35 And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.

٣٥ فَيَقُولُونَ: هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ صَارَتْ كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ وَٱلْمُقْفِرَةُ وَٱلْمُنْهَدِمَةُ مُحَصَّنَةً مَعْمُورَةً.

36 Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.

٣٦ فَتَعْلَمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تُرِكُوا حَوْلَكُمْ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، بَنَيْتُ ٱلْمُنْهَدِمَةَ وَغَرَسْتُ ٱلْمُقْفِرَةَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَسَأَفْعَلُ.

37 This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

٣٧ هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: بَعْدَ هَذِهِ أُطْلَبُ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَفْعَلَ لَهُمْ. أُكَثِّرُهُمْ كَغَنَمِ أُنَاسٍ،

38 Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

٣٨ كَغَنَمِ مَقْدِسٍ، كَغَنَمِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَوَاسِمِهَا، فَتَكُونُ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْخَرِبَةُ مَلآنَةً غَنَمَ أُنَاسٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».
