Jezekiel 12

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لِيَنْظُرُوا وَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ. لَهُمْ آذَانٌ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

3 You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.

٣ وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَهَيِّئْ لِنَفْسِكَ أُهْبَةَ جَلَاءٍ، وَٱرْتَحِلْ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَٱرْتَحِلْ مِنْ مَكَانِكَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

4 And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.

٤ فَتُخْرِجُ أُهْبَتَكَ كَأُهْبَةِ ٱلْجَلَاءِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَأَنْتَ تَخْرُجُ مَسَاءً قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ كَٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ.

5 Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:

٥ وَٱنْقُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَأَخْرِجْهَا مِنْهُ.

6 you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

٦ وَٱحْمِلْ عَلَى كَتِفِكَ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ تُخْرِجُهَا. تُغَطِّي وَجْهَكَ فَلَا تَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ. لِأَنِّي جَعَلْتُكَ آيَةً لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

7 And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.

٧ فَفَعَلْتُ هَكَذَا كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ أُهْبَتِي كَأُهْبَةِ ٱلْجَلَاءِ نَهَارًا، وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ نَقَبْتُ لِنَفْسِي فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ بِيَدِي، وَأَخْرَجْتُ فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ، وَحَمَلْتُ عَلَى كَتِفِي قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ.

8 And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,

٨ وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ كَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

9 Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?

٩ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَكَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدُ: مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟

10 Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:

١٠ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ هُوَ ٱلرَّئِيسُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

11 say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.

١١ قُلْ: أَنَا آيَةٌ لَكُمْ. كَمَا صَنَعْتُ هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ بِهِمْ. إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُونَ.

12 And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.

١٢ وَٱلرَّئِيسُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسْطِهِمْ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ وَيَخْرُجُ. يَنْقُبُونَ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ لِيُخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ. يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ لِكَيْلَا يَنْظُرَ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ.

13 And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

١٣ وَأَبْسُطُ شَبَكَتِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُؤْخَذُ فِي شَرَكِي، وَآتِي بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَرَاهَا وَهُنَاكَ يَمُوتُ.

14 And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;

١٤ وَأُذَرِّي فِي كُلِّ رِيحٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ لِنَصْرِهِ، وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَأَسْتَلُّ ٱلسَّيْفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ.

15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them among the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.

١٥ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أُبَدِّدُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُذَرِّيهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

16 And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities among the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

١٦ وَأُبْقِي مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا مَعْدُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَمِنَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَمِنَ ٱلْوَبَإِ، لِكَيْ يُحَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١٧ وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

18 Son of man, eat your bread with sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.

١٨ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ خُبْزَكَ بِٱرْتِعَاشٍ، وَٱشْرَبْ مَاءَكَ بِٱرْتِعَادٍ وَغَمٍّ.

19 And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.

١٩ وَقُلْ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزَهُمْ بِٱلْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مَاءَهُمْ بِحَيْرَةٍ، لِكَيْ تَخْرَبَ أَرْضُهَا عَنْ مِلْئِهَا مِنْ ظُلْمِ كُلِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

20 And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

٢٠ وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ تَخْرَبُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُقْفِرُ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

21 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

22 Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?

٢٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مَا هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِي لَكُمْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْقَائِلُ: قَدْ طَالَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ وَخَابَتْ كُلُّ رُؤْيَا.

23 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.

٢٣ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أُبَطِّلُ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ فَلَا يُمَثِّلُونَ بِهِ بَعْدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. بَلْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ وَكَلَامُ كُلِّ رُؤْيَا.

24 For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.

٢٤ لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةٌ وَلَا عِرَافَةٌ مَلِقَةٌ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

25 For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.

٢٥ لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا تَكُونُ. لَا تَطُولُ بَعْدُ. لِأَنِّي فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدُ أَقُولُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ وَأُجْرِيهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

26 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢٦ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

27 Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

٢٧ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هُوَذَا بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلُونَ: ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي هُوَ رَائِيهَا هِيَ إِلَى أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَهُوَ مُتَنَبِّئٌ لِأَزْمِنَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ.

28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.

٢٨ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا يَطُولُ بَعْدُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِي. اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهَا تَكُونُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
