Ezekiel 8

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

١ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسِ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ الْعِبْرِيِّ (أَيْ آبَ – أُغُسْطُسَ) مِنَ السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ، بَيْنَمَا كُنْتُ جَالِساً فِي بَيْتِي، وَشُيُوخُ يَهُوذَا مَاثِلُونَ أَمَامِي، حَلَّتْ عَلَيَّ قُوَّةُ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ هُنَاكَ،

2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of electrum.

٢ فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِشِبْهِ إِنْسَانٍ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَبَدَا وَكَأَنَّ نَاراً تَتَأَجَّجُ مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ. أَمَّا مِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ فَمَا فَوْقُ فَبَدَا لَمَعَانٌ كَلَمَعَانِ النُّحَاسِ الْمُتَأَلِّقِ.

3 And the form of a hand was put forth, and I was taken by a lock of my head; and a spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

٣ ثُمَّ مَدَّ شِبْهَ يَدٍ وَقَبَضَ عَلَيَّ بِنَاصِيَةِ رَأْسِي، وَحَلَّقَ بِي رُوحٌ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَأَحْضَرَنِي فِي رُؤَى اللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْبَوَّابَةِ الشِّمَالِيَّةِ لِلسَّاحَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، حَيْثُ يَنْتَصِبُ التِّمْثَالُ الْمُثِيرُ لِلْغَيْرَةِ.

4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

٤ فَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالٌّ هُنَاكَ كَمَا كَانَ حَالًّا فِي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا فِي السَّهْلِ.

5 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north.' So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

٥ ثُمَّ خَاطَبَنِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتِ الآنَ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ». فَالْتَفَتُّ وَإذَا بِي أَرَى مِنَ شِمَالِيِّ بَابِ الْمَذْبَحِ تِمْثَالَ الْغَيْرَةِ هَذَا مُنْتَصِباً فِي الْمَدْخَلِ.

6 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from My sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet greater abominations.'

٦ وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ شَاهَدْتَ مَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ: هَذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الْفَظِيعَةَ الَّتِي يَقْتَرِفُهَا شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُبْعِدُونِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي؟ وَلَكِنِ انْتَظِرْ، فَلا تَلْبَثُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَرْجَاساً أَفْظَعَ».

7 And He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

٧ ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى مَدْخَلِ السَّاحَةِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِثُقْبٍ فِي الْجِدَارِ،

8 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, dig now in the wall'; and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

٨ فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْقُبْ فِي الْجِدَارِ». فَنَقَبْتُ الْجِدَارَ وَإذَا بَابٌ.

9 And He said unto me: 'Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.'

٩ فَقَالَ لِي: «ادْخُلْ وَاشْهَدِ الأَرْجَاسَ الْمَقِيتَةَ الَّتِي يَرْتَكِبُونَهَا هُنَا».

10 So I went in and saw; and behold every detestable form of creeping things and beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.

١٠ فَدَخَلْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ، فَإِذَا كُلُّ تَصَاوِيرِ أَشْكَالِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ النَّجِسَةِ، وَجَمِيعُ أَصْنَامِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ جَوَانِبِ الْجُدْرَانِ،

11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

١١ وَقَدْ مَثَلَ أَمَامَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلاً مِنْ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَانْتَصَبَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ، وَفِي يَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مِجْمَرَتُهُ تَتَصَاعَدُ مِنْهَا غَمَامَةٌ عَطِرَةٌ مِنَ الْبَخُورِ.

12 Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say: The LORD seeth us not, the LORD hath forsaken the land.'

١٢ فَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا يَقْتَرِفُهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ شُيُوخِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مِحْرَابِ تَمَاثِيلِهِ الْمَنْحُوتَةِ قَائِلِينَ: الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَانَا! الرَّبُّ قَدْ هَجَرَ الأَرْضَ.

13 He said also unto me: 'Thou shalt again see yet greater abominations which they do.'

١٣ وَلَكِنِ انْتَظِرْ فَلا تَلْبَثُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَرْجَاساً أَفْظَعَ يَرْتَكِبُونَهَا».

14 Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.

١٤ ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْمَدْخَلِ الشِّمَالِيِّ لِبَوَّابَةِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِذَا هُنَاكَ نِسَاءٌ يَنْدُبْنَ تَمُّوزَ (إِلَهِ الْخِصْبِ).

15 Then said He unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these.'

١٥ فَقَالَ لِي: «أَشَهِدْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ؟ انْتَظِرْ فَلا تَلْبَثُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَرْجَاساً أَفْظَعَ مِنْ هَذِهِ».

16 And He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

١٦ ثُمَّ أَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى الْفِنَاءِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ لِبَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ بَيْنَ الرُّوَاقِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً أَدَارُوا ظُهُورَهُمْ لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَاتَّجَهُوا بِوُجُوهِهِمْ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ سَاجِدِينَ لِلشَّمْسِ.

17 Then He said unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here in that they fill the land with violence, and provoke Me still more, and, lo, they put the branch to their nose?

١٧ فَقَالَ لِي: «أَشَهِدْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَقَلِيلٌ مَا ارْتَكَبَهُ شَعْبُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ رَجَاسَاتٍ هُنَا؟ فَقَدْ عَاثُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَسَاداً، وَثَابَرُوا عَلَى إِغَاظَتِي، وَقَرَّبُوا كُلَّ مَا هُوَ مُنْتِنٌ فِي هَيْكَلِي

18 Therefore will I also deal in fury; Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.'

١٨ لِذَلِكَ أُعَاقِبُهُمْ بِالْغَضَبِ، وَلا تَتَرَأَّفُ عَيْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلا أَعْفُو، وَإِنِ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ لَا أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ».
