Ezekiel 11

1 Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.

١ ثُمَّ حَلَّقَ بِي الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلاً، شَاهَدْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ الشَّعْبِ.

2 Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.

٢ فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجَالُ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ، الْمُتَآمِرُونَ بِمَشُورَةِ السُّوءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ،

3 For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.

٣ الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَمْ يَحِنِ الْوَقْتُ لِنَبْنِيَ حُصُوناً؟ فَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ هِيَ كَالْقِدْرِ (أَيْ كَسُورٍ حَوْلَنَا) وَنَحْنُ كَاللَّحْمِ. (أَيْ كَالْمُحْتَمِينَ بِالسُّورِ).

4 Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.

٤ لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ!»

5 And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.

٥ وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. هَذَا مَا تَحَدَّثْتُمْ بِهِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِمَا يَدُورُ فِي خَلَدِكُمْ.

6 Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.

٦ لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ قَتْلاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَوَارِعَهَا.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.

٧ لِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ قَتْلاكُمُ الَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسَطِهَا هُمُ اللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ الْقِدْرُ، وَسَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا.

8 Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.

٨ قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لِذَلِكَ أَجْلِبُ السَّيْفَ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

9 And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.

٩ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى قَبْضَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، وَأُنَفِّذُ فِيكُمْ أَحْكَاماً،

10 Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

١٠ فَتُقْتَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ. وَأُنَفِّذُ قَضَاءً فِيكُمْ فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

11 This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.

١١ لَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لَكُمْ قِدْراً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَنْ تَكُونُوا اللَّحْمَ فِي وَسَطِهَا. بَلْ أُنَفِّذُ قَضَائِي فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

12 And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about you.

١٢ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا أَحْكَامَهُ بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى مُمَارَسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ».

13 And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?

١٣ وَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَتُبِيدُ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

14 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

١٤ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

15 Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in possession.

١٥ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لإِخْوَتِكَ، وَأَقْرِبَائِكَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الشَّتَاتِ مَعَكَ، الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِذْ لَنَا قَدْ وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثاً.

16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.

١٦ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ بَيْنَ الْبِلادِ، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِساً صَغِيراً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَبَدَّدُوا فِيهَا.

17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.

١٧ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: سَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَمِنَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِيهَا وَأَهَبُكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.

١٨ وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَزِعُونَ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ أَوْثَانِهَا الْمَمْقُوتَةِ وَرَجَاسَاتِهَا،

19 And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,

١٩ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ جَمِيعاً قَلْباً وَاحِداً، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ رُوحاً جَدِيداً، وَأُزِيلُ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ. وَأَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِقَلْبٍ مِنْ لَحْمٍ،

20 That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

٢٠ لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيُطِيعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيُمَارِسُوهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

21 But vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.

٢١ أَمَّا الَّذِينَ ضَلَّتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ عِقَابَ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

22 Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.

٢٢ ثُمَّ فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا مَعَ الْعَجَلاتِ وَمَعَ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

23 And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.

٢٣ وَارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَدِينَةِ.

24 Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.

٢٤ وَحَلَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي، فِي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا لِي رُوحُ اللهِ، إِلَى أَرْضِ الْجَلاءِ فِي بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنِّي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا،

25 Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.

٢٥ فَأَبْلَغْتُ أَهْلَ السَّبْيِ بِجَمِيعِ الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ.
