Ezekiel 28

1 The word of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 Sonne of man, say vnto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saieth the Lord God, Because thine heart is exalted, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God in ye mids of the sea, yet thou art but a man and not God, and though thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with God,

٢ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِمَلِكِ صُورَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ تَكَبَّرْتَ وَقُلْتَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ، وَأَتَرَبَّعُ فِي مَجْلِسِ الآلِهَةِ، فِي قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ؛ مَعَ أَنَّكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلَسْتَ إِلَهاً، وَإِنْ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ لَدَيْكَ حِكْمَةَ الآلِهَةِ!

3 Behold, thou art wiser then Daniel: there is no secrete, that they can hide from thee.

٣ هَا أَنْتَ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ دَانِيالَ وَلا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ سِرٌّ.

4 With thy wisedome and thine vnderstanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten golde and siluer into thy treasures.

٤ قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذْتَ بِحِكْمَتِكَ وَفَهْمِكَ عَلَى الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَادَّخَرْتَهَا فِي خَزَائِنِكَ،

5 By thy great wisedome and by thine occupying hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted vp because of thy riches.

٥ وَبِمَهَارَتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ فِي التِّجَارَةِ ضَاعَفْتَ ثَرْوَتَكَ، فَتَكَبَّرَ قَلْبُكَ لِفَرْطِ غِنَاكَ.

6 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with God,

٦ لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ لَدَيْكَ حِكْمَةَ الآلِهَةِ،

7 Behold, therefore I wil bring strangers vpon thee, euen the terrible nations: and they shall drawe their swordes against the beautie of thy wisedome, and they shall defile thy brightnes.

٧ هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَيْكَ غُرَبَاءَ مِنْ أَعْتَى الأُمَمِ، فَيُجَرِّدُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَى بَهَاءِ حِكْمَتِكَ، وَيُدَنِّسُونَ جَمَالَكَ.

8 They shall cast thee downe to the pit, and thou shalt die the death of them, that are slaine in the middes of the sea.

٨ يَطْرَحُونَكَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ فَتَمُوتُ مَوْتَ الْقَتْلَى فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْبِحَارِ.

9 Wilt thou say then before him, that slayeth thee, I am a god? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hands of him that slayeth thee.

٩ أَتَظَلُّ تَقُولُ أَنَئِذٍ أَمَامَ قَاتِلِكَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ؟ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا إِلَهٌ فِي قَبْضَةِ ذَابِحِيكَ.

10 Thou shalt die the death of the vncircumcised by the hands of stragers: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God.

١٠ فَتَلْقَى حَتْفَكَ كَالْغُلْفِ بِيَدِ الْغُرَبَاءِ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قَضَيْتُ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

11 Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

١١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

12 Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation vpon the King of Tyrus, and say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Thou sealest vp the summe, and art full of wisedome and perfite in beautie.

١٢ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْدُبْ مَلِكَ صُورَ بِمَرْثَاةٍ وَقُلْ لَهُ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: كُنْتَ خَاتِمَ الْكَمَالِ، مُفْعَماً بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَكَامِلَ الْجَمَالِ.

13 Thou hast ben in Eden the garden of God: euery precious stone was in thy garment, the rubie, the topaze and the diamonde, the chrysolite, the onix, and the iasper, the saphir, emeraude, and the carbuncle and golde: the woorkemanship of thy timbrels, and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

١٣ كُنْتَ فِي جَنَّةِ اللهِ عَدْنٍ، حِجَابُكَ كُلُّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ وَزَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشْبٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَبَهْرَمَانُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ وَذَهَبٌ. صَاغُوا مِنْهُ بُيُوتَ حِجَارَتِكَ الْكَرِيمَةِ وَتَرْصِيعَاتِكَ يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ.

14 Thou art the anointed Cherub, that couereth, and I haue set thee in honour: thou wast vpon the holy mountaine of God: thou hast walked in the middes of the stones of fire.

١٤ وَمَسَحْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ الْكَرُوبِيمَ الْمُظَلِّلَ وَأَقَمْتُكَ عَلَى جَبَلِ اللهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَمَشَّيْتَ بَيْنَ حِجَارَةِ النَّارِ.

15 Thou wast perfite in thy wayes from the day that thou wast created, till iniquitie was found in thee.

١٥ كُنْتَ كَامِلاً فِي طُرُقِكَ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ إِلَى أَنْ وُجِدَ فِيكَ إِثْمٌ.

16 By the multitude of thy marchandise, they haue filled the middes of thee with crueltie, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as prophane out of the mountaine of God: and I will destroy thee, O couering Cherub from the mids of the stones of fire.

١٦ إِنَّمَا بِسَبَبِ كَثْرَةِ تِجَارَتِكَ امْتَلأَ دَاخِلُكَ ظُلْماً، فَأَخْطَأْتَ. لِهَذَا أَطْرَحُكَ مِنْ جَبَلِ اللهِ كَشَيْءٍ نَجِسٍ، وَأُبِيدُكَ أَيُّهَا الْكَرُوبُ الْمُظَلِّلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ حِجَارَةِ النَّارِ.

17 Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautie, and thou hast corrupted thy wisedome by reason of thy brightnes: I wil cast thee to ye grounde: I will lay thee before Kinges that they may beholde thee.

١٧ قَدْ تَكَبَّرَ قَلْبُكَ بِسَبَبِ بَهَائِكَ، وَأَفْسَدْتَ حِكْمَتَكَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ جَلالِكَ. سَأُلْقِي بِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ لِتَكُونَ عُرْضَةً لِعُيُونِهِمِ الْهَازِئَةِ.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctification by the multitude of thine iniquities, and by the iniquitie of thy marchandise: therefore wil I bring forth a fire from the mids of thee, which shall deuoure thee: and I wil bring thee to ashes vpon the earth, in the sight of all them that beholde thee.

١٨ قَدْ نَجَّسْتَ مَقَادِسَكَ بِفَرْطِ آثَامِكَ وَتِجَارَتِكَ الظَّالِمَةِ. لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُ النَّارَ تَنْدَلِعُ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ فَتَلْتَهِمُكَ، وَأُحَوِّلُكَ إِلَى رَمَادٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَرَاكَ.

19 All they that knowe thee among the people, shalbe astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terrour, and neuer shalt thou be any more.

١٩ فَيَتَحَيَّرُ لِمَا أَصَابَكَ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ، إِذْ تَحُلُّ بِكَ الأَهْوَالُ وَلا يَبْقَى مِنْكَ أَثَرٌ».

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

٢٠ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

21 Sonne of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesie against it,

٢١ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ صَيْدُونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا.

22 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the mids of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall haue executed iudgements in her, and shalbe sanctified in her.

٢٢ وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكِ يَا صيْدُونُ وَأَتَجَلَّى بِمَجْدِي فِيكِ فَيُدْرِكُ سُكَّانُكِ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُنَفِّذُ فِيكِ أَحْكَاماً وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِي وَسَطِكِ.

23 For I wil send into her pestilence, and blood into her streetes, and the slaine shall fall in the middes of her: the enemie shall come against her with the sword on euery side, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

٢٣ أَجْعَلُ الْوَبَأَ يَتَفَشَّى فِيكِ وَتُسْفَكُ دِمَاءٌ فِي أَزِقَّتِكِ، وَيَتَسَاقَطُ فِي وَسَطِكِ جَرْحَى السَّيْفِ الَّذِي يُحْدِقُ بِكِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

24 And they shalbe no more a pricking thorne vnto the house of Israel, nor any grieuous thorne of all that are round about them, and despised them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord God.

٢٤ فَلا يَتَعَرَّضُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى وَخَزَاتِ الْعُلَّيْقِ وَلا إلَى شَوْكَةٍ مُؤْذِيَةٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ مِمَّنْ تُبْغِضُهُمْ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

25 Thus saith the Lord God, When I shall haue gathered the house of Israel from the people where they are scattered, and shalbe sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwel in the land, that I haue giuen to my seruant Iaakob.

٢٥ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: عِنْدَمَا أَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا إِلَيْهَا، وَتَتَجَلَّى قَدَاسَتِي فِيهِمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُونَ وَيَسْتَوْطِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ،

26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall builde houses, and plant vineyards: yea, they shall dwell safely, when I haue executed iudgements vpon al round about them that despise them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord their God.

٢٦ وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا مُطْمَئِنِّينَ وَيُشَيِّدُونَ بُيُوتاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً وَيَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ. وَعِنْدَمَا أُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِمْ، عِنْدَئِذٍ يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ».
