< Ezekiel 24 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying:
وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ قَائِلًا:١
2 Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today.
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱكْتُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱسْمَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ. فَإِنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ.٢
3 And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into it.
وَٱضْرِبْ مَثَلًا لِلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ضَعِ ٱلْقِدْرَ. ضَعْهَا وَأَيْضًا صُبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً.٣
4 Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
اِجْمَعْ إِلَيْهَا قِطَعَهَا، كُلَّ قِطْعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ: ٱلْفَخِذَ وَٱلْكَتِفَ. ٱمْلَأُوهَا بِخِيَارِ ٱلْعِظَامِ.٤
5 Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it.
خُذْ مِنْ خِيَارِ ٱلْغَنَمِ وَكُومَةَ ٱلْعِظَامِ تَحْتَهَا. أَغْلِهَا إِغْلَاءً فَتُسْلَقَ أَيْضًا عِظَامُهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.٥
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱلْقِدْرِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا زِنْجَارُهَا، وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا زِنْجَارُهَا. أَخْرِجُوهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً. لَا تَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا قُرْعَةٌ.٦
7 For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
لِأَنَّ دَمَهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا. قَدْ وَضَعَتْهُ عَلَى ضِحِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ. لَمْ تُرِقْهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِتُوَارَيهُ بِٱلتُّرَابِ.٧
8 And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered.
لِصُعُودِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، لِتُنْقَمَ نَقْمَةً، وَضَعْتُ دَمَهَا عَلَى ضِحِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ لِئَلَّا يُوارَى.٨
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ. إِنِّي أَنَا أُعَظِّمُ كُومَتَهَا.٩
10 Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
كَثِّرِ ٱلْحَطَبَ، أَضْرِمِ ٱلنَّارَ، أَنْضِجِ ٱللَّحْمَ، تَبِّلْهُ تَتْبِيلًا، وَلْتُحْرَقِ ٱلْعِظَامُ.١٠
11 Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed.
ثُمَّ ضَعْهَا فَارِغَةً عَلَى ٱلْجَمْرِ لِيَحْمَى نُحَاسُهَا وَيُحْرَقَ، فَيَذُوبَ قَذَرُهَا فِيهَا وَيَفْنَى زِنْجَارُهَا.١١
12 Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire.
بِمَشَقَّاتٍ تَعِبَتْ وَلَمْ تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا كَثْرَةُ زِنْجَارِهَا. فِي ٱلنَّارِ زِنْجَارُهَا.١٢
13 Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
فِي نَجَاسَتِكِ رَذِيلَةٌ لِأَنِّي طَهَّرْتُكِ فَلَمْ تَطْهُرِي، وَلَنْ تَطْهُرِي بَعْدُ مِنْ نَجَاسَتِكِ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ.١٣
14 I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمْتُ. يَأْتِي فَأَفْعَلُهُ. لَا أُطْلِقُ وَلَا أُشْفِقُ وَلَا أَنْدَمُ. حَسَبَ طُرُقِكِ وَحَسَبَ أَعْمَالِكِ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».١٤
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:١٥
16 Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down.
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَأَنَذَا آخُذُ عَنْكَ شَهْوَةَ عَيْنَيْكَ بِضَرْبَةٍ، فَلَا تَنُحْ وَلَا تَبْكِ وَلَا تَنْزِلْ دُمُوعُكَ.١٦
17 Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
تَنَهَّدْ سَاكِتًا. لَا تَعْمَلْ مَنَاحَةً عَلَى أَمْوَاتٍ. لُفَّ عِصَابَتَكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَٱجْعَلْ نَعْلَيْكَ فِي رِجْلَيْكَ، وَلَا تُغَطِّ شَارِبَيْكَ، وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ خُبْزِ ٱلنَّاسِ».١٧
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ صَبَاحًا وَمَاتَتْ زَوْجَتِي مَسَاءً. وَفَعَلْتُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ.١٨
19 And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
فَقَالَ لِيَ ٱلشَّعْبُ: «أَلَا تُخْبِرُنَا مَا لَنَا وَهَذِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ صَانِعُهَا؟»١٩
20 And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ: «قَدْ كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:٢٠
21 Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.
كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا مُنَجِّسٌ مَقْدِسِي فَخْرَ عِزِّكُمْ، شَهْوَةَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَلَذَّةَ نُفُوسِكُمْ. وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ،٢١
22 And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
وَتَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ: لَا تُغَطُّونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ خُبْزِ ٱلنَّاسِ.٢٢
23 You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother.
وَتَكُونُ عَصَائِبُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَنِعَالُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ. لَا تَنُوحُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ وَتَفْنَوْنَ بِآثَامِكُمْ. تَئِنُّونَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.٢٣
24 And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
وَيَكُونُ حِزْقِيَالُ لَكُمْ آيَةً. مِثْلَ كُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ تَصْنَعُونَ. إِذَا جَاءَ هَذَا، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.٢٤
25 And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters.
وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَفَلَا يَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ آخُذُ عَنْهُمْ عِزَّهُمْ، سُرُورَ فَخْرِهِمْ، شَهْوَةَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَرَفْعَةَ نَفْسِهِمْ: أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ،٢٥
26 In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمُنْفَلِتُ لِيُسْمِعَ أُذُنَيْكَ.٢٦
27 In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَنْفَتِحُ فَمُكَ لِلْمُنْفَلِتِ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ. وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ آيَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».٢٧
