Ezekiel 22

1 Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 Now thou sonne of man, wilt thou iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloody citie? wilt thou shew her all her abominations?

٢ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ تَدِينُ، هَلْ تَدِينُ مَدِينَةَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ؟ فَعَرِّفْهَا كُلَّ رَجَاسَاتِهَا،

3 Then say, Thus sayth the Lord God, The citie sheddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against her selfe to pollute her selfe.

٣ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلسَّافِكَةُ ٱلدَّمِ فِي وَسْطِهَا لِيَأْتِيَ وَقْتُهَا، ٱلصَّانِعَةُ أَصْنَامًا لِنَفْسِهَا لِتَتَنَجَّسَ بِهَا،

4 Thou hast offended in thy blood, that thou hast shed, and hast polluted thy selfe in thine idols, which thou hast made, and thou hast caused thy dayes to draw neere, and art come vnto thy terme: therefore haue I made thee a reproch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys.

٤ قَدْ أَثِمْتِ بِدَمِكِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكْتِ، وَنَجَّسْتِ نَفْسَكِ بِأَصْنَامِكِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتِ، وَقَرَّبْتِ أَيَّامَكِ وَبَلَغْتِ سِنِيكِ، فَلِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُكِ عَارًا لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُخْرَةً لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

5 Those that be neere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art vile in name and sore in affliction.

٥ ٱلْقَرِيبَةُ إِلَيْكِ وَٱلْبَعِيدَةُ عَنْكِ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنْكِ، يَا نَجِسَةَ ٱلِٱسْمِ، يَا كَثِيرَةَ ٱلشَّغَبِ.

6 Beholde, the princes of Israel euery one in thee was ready to his power, to shed blood.

٦ هُوَذَا رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ ٱسْتِطَاعَتِهِ، كَانُوا فِيكِ لِأَجْلِ سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ.

7 In thee haue they despised father and mother: in the middes of thee haue they oppressed the stranger: in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and the widowe.

٧ فِيكِ أَهَانُوا أَبًا وَأُمًّا. فِي وَسْطِكِ عَامَلُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ بِٱلظُّلْمِ. فِيكِ ٱضْطَهَدُوا ٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ.

8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast polluted my Sabbaths.

٨ ٱزْدَرَيْتِ أَقْدَاسِي وَنَجَّسْتِ سُبُوتِي.

9 In thee are men that cary tales to shed blood: in thee are they that eate vpon the mountaines: in ye mids of thee they comit abomination.

٩ كَانَ فِيكِ أُنَاسٌ وُشَاةٌ لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ، وَفِيكِ أَكَلُوا عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. فِي وَسْطِكِ عَمِلُوا رَذِيلَةً.

10 In thee haue they discouered their fathers shame: in thee haue they vexed her that was polluted in her floures.

١٠ فِيكِ كَشَفَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ. فِيكِ أَذَلُّوا ٱلْمُتَنَجِّسَةَ بِطَمْثِهَا.

11 And euery one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euery one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne sister, euen his fathers daughter.

١١ إِنْسَانٌ فَعَلَ ٱلرِّجْسَ بِٱمْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ. إِنْسَانٌ نَجَّسَ كَنَّتَهُ بِرَذِيلَةٍ. إِنْسَانٌ أَذَلَّ فِيكِ أُخْتَهُ بِنْتَ أَبِيهِ.

12 In thee haue they taken giftes to shed blood: thou hast taken vsurie and the encrease, and thou hast defrauded thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.

١٢ فِيكِ أَخَذُوا ٱلرَّشْوَةَ لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ. أَخَذْتِ ٱلرِّبَا وَٱلْمُرَابَحَةَ، وَسَلَبْتِ أَقْرِبَاءَكِ بِٱلظُّلْمِ، وَنَسِيتِنِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

13 Beholde, therefore I haue smitten mine hands vpon thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the blood, which hath bene in the middes of thee.

١٣ «فَهَأَنَذَا قَدْ صَفَّقْتُ بِكَفِّي بِسَبَبِ خَطْفِكِ ٱلَّذِي خَطَفْتِ، وَبِسَبَبِ دَمِكِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي وَسْطِكِ.

14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the dayes that I shall haue to doe with thee? I the Lord haue spoken it, and will doe it.

١٤ فَهَلْ يَثْبُتُ قَلْبُكِ أَوْ تَقْوَى يَدَاكِ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أُعَامِلُكِ؟ أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَسَأَفْعَلُ.

15 And I wil scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countreys, and will cause thy filthines to cease from thee.

١٥ وَأُبَدِّدُكِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُذَرِّيكِ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأُزِيلُ نَجَاسَتَكِ مِنْكِ.

16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thy selfe in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.

١٦ وَتَتَدَنَّسِينَ بِنَفْسِكِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

17 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

١٧ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

18 Sonne of man, the house of Israel is vnto me as drosse: all they are brasse, and tinne, and yron, and leade in the mids of the fornace: they are euen the drosse of siluer.

١٨ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ صَارَ لِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ زَغَلًا. كُلُّهُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَقَصْدِيرٌ وَحَدِيدٌ وَرَصَاصٌ فِي وَسْطِ كُورٍ. صَارُوا زَغَلَ فِضَّةٍ.

19 Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye are all as drosse, beholde, therefore I will gather you in the middes of Ierusalem.

١٩ لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ زَغَلًا، فَلِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

20 As they gather siluer and brasse, and yron, and leade, and tinne into the middes of the fornace, to blowe the fire vpon it to melt it, so wil I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and wil put you there and melt you.

٢٠ جَمْعَ فِضَّةٍ وَنُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ وَرَصَاصٍ وَقَصْدِيرٍ إِلَى وَسْطِ كُورٍ لِنَفْخِ ٱلنَّارِ عَلَيْهَا لِسَبْكِهَا، كَذَلِكَ أَجْمَعُكُمْ بِغَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ وَأَسْبِكُكُمْ.

21 I wil gather you, I say, and blowe the fire of my wrath vpon you, and you shalbe melted in the mids thereof.

٢١ فَأَجْمَعُكُمْ وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي نَارِ غَضَبِي، فَتُسْبَكُونَ فِي وَسْطِهَا.

22 As siluer is melted in the mids of the fornace, so shall ye be melted in the mids thereof, and ye shall knowe, that I the Lord haue powred out my wrath vpon you.

٢٢ كَمَا تُسْبَكُ ٱلْفِضَّةُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْكُورِ، كَذَلِكَ تُسْبَكُونَ فِي وَسْطِهَا، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكُمْ».

23 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

٢٣ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

24 Sonne of man, say vnto her; Thou art the land, that is vncleane, and not rained vpon in the day of wrath.

٢٤ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لَهَا: أَنْتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَطْهُرْ، لَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَضَبِ.

25 There is a conspiracie of her prophets in the mids thereof like a roaring lyon, rauening the praye: they haue deuoured soules: they haue taken the riches and precious things: they haue made her many widowes in the mids thereof.

٢٥ فِتْنَةُ أَنْبِيَائِهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَأَسَدٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يَخْطُفُ ٱلْفَرِيسَةَ. أَكَلُوا نُفُوسًا. أَخَذُوا ٱلْكَنْزَ وَٱلنَّفِيسَ، أَكْثَرُوا أَرَامِلَهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.

26 Her Priests haue broken my Lawe, and haue defiled mine holy things: they haue put no difference betweene the holy and prophane, neither discerned betweene the vncleane, and the cleane, and haue hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am prophaned among them.

٢٦ كَهَنَتُهَا خَالَفُوا شَرِيعَتِي وَنَجَّسُوا أَقْدَاسِي. لَمْ يُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ وَٱلْمُحَلَّلِ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا ٱلْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّجِسِ وَٱلطَّاهِرِ، وَحَجَبُوا عُيُونَهُمْ عَنْ سُبُوتِي فَتَدَنَّسْتُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

27 Her princes in the mids thereof are like wolues, rauening the praye to shed blood, and to destroy soules for their owne couetous lucre.

٢٧ رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَذِئَابٍ خَاطِفَةٍ خَطْفًا لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ، لِإِهْلَاكِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ لِٱكْتِسَابِ كَسْبٍ.

28 And her prophets haue dawbed them with vntempered morter, seeing vanities, and diuining lies vnto them, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken.

٢٨ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا قَدْ طَيَّنُوا لَهُمْ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، رَائِينَ بَاطِلًا وَعَارِفِينَ لَهُمْ كَذِبًا، قَائِلِينَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ.

29 The people of the land haue violently oppressed by spoyling and robbing, and haue vexed the poore and the needy: yea, they haue oppressed the stranger against right.

٢٩ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ظَلَمُوا ظُلْمًا، وَغَصَبُوا غَصْبًا، وَٱضْطَهَدُوا ٱلْفَقِيرَ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ، وَظَلَمُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ.

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make vp the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

٣٠ وَطَلَبْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ رَجُلًا يَبْنِي جِدَارًا وَيَقِفُ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ أَمَامِي عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِكَيْلَا أَخْرِبَهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

31 Therefore haue I powred out mine indignation vpon them, and consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their owne wayes haue I rendred vpon their heads, sayth the Lord God.

٣١ فَسَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ. أَفْنَيْتُهُمْ بِنَارِ غَضَبِي. جَلَبْتُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
