Jezekiel 5

1 And you, son of man, take you a sword sharper than a barber's razor; you shall procure it for yourself, and shall bring it upon your head, and upon your beard: and you shall take a pair of scales, and shall separate the hair.

١ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَيْفاً حَادّاً اسْتَخْدِمْهُ كَمُوسَى الْحَلّاقِ لِتَحْلِقَ رَأْسَكَ وَلِحْيَتَكَ، ثُمَّ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ مِيزَاناً وَاقْسِمِ الشَّعْرَ إِلَى ثَلاثَةِ أَثْلاثٍ،

2 A fourth part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfillment of the days of the siege: and you shall take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part you shall cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

٢ وَاحْرِقْ بِالنَّارِ ثُلْثاً فِي وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا اكْتَمَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْحِصَارِ، ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلْ ثُلْثاً آخَرَ وَاضْرِبْهُ بِالسَّيْفِ حَوْلَ خَرِيطَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمَرْسُومَةِ. أَمَّا الثُّلْثُ الأَخِيرُ فَذَرِّهِ مَعَ الرِّيحِ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَلُّ سَيْفاً خَلْفَهُ.

3 And you shall take thence a few in number, and shall wrap them in the fold of your garment.

٣ وَلَكِنِ احْتَفِظْ بِكَمِّيَّةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ مِنْهُ وَصُرَّهَا فِي أَطْرَافِ ثَوْبِكَ.

4 And you shall take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and you shall say to the whole house of Israel,

٤ كَذَلِكَ خُذْ بَعْضاً مِنَ الشَّعْرِ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي النَّارِ لِيَحْتَرِقَ، فَتَنْدَلِعَ مِنْهُ نَارٌ عَلَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 Thus says the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.

٥ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ الَّتِي أَقَمْتُهَا فِي وَسَطِ الشُّعُوبِ تُحِيطُ بِها الأَرَاضِي،

6 And you shall declare mine ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes [to the sinful one] of the countries round about her: because they have rejected mine ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.

٦ فَخَالَفَتْ أَحْكَامِي بِأَشَرِّ مِمَّا خَالَفَتْهَا الأُمَمُ وَسُكَّانُ الأَرَاضِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها، إِذْ تَنَكَّرُوا لأَحْكَامِي، وَفَرَائِضِي لَمْ يُمَارِسُوهَا.

7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Because your occasion [for sin has been taken] from the nations round about you, and you have not walked in my statutes, nor kept mine ordinances, nay, you have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus says the Lord;

٧ لِذَلِكَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنَّكُمْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِي، وَلا بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ.

8 Behold, I am against you, and I will execute judgment in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.

٨ هَا أَنَا أَيْضاً أنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَأُجْرِي عَلَيْكِ قَضَاءً عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ،

9 And I will do in you things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all your abominations.

٩ فَأَصْنَعُ بِكِ مَا لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَمَا لَنْ أَصْنَعَ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، عِقَاباً لَكِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاسِكِ.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat [their] children in the midst of you, and children shall eat [their] fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and I will scatter all that are left of you to every wind.

١٠ إِذْ يَأْكُلُ الآبَاءُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ، وَالأَبْنَاءُ آبَاءَهُمْ، لأَنَّنِي أُجْرِي فِيكِ قَضَاءً وَأُذَرِّي بَقِيَّتَكِ كُلَّهَا مَعَ كُلِّ رِيحٍ.

11 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord; surely, because you have defiled my holy things with all your abominations, I also will reject you; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.

١١ لِهَذَا، حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّكِ قَدْ دَنَّسْتِ مَقْدِسِي بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِكِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ، وَبِجَمِيعِ رَجَاسَاتِكِ، فَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَسْتَأْصِلُ، وَلا تَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَيْكِ عَيْنِي وَلا أَعْفُو.

12 A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine: and [as for another] fourth part of you, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of you shall fall by sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.

١٢ ثُلْثُ سُكَّانِكِ يَمُوتُونَ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَالْجُوعِ فِي وَسَطِكِ، وَثُلْثٌ ثَانٍ يُقْتَلُ حَوْلَكِ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَثُلْثٌ أَخِيرٌ أُشَتِّتُهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُ بِسَيْفٍ مَسْلُولٍ.

13 And my wrath and mine anger shall be accomplished upon them: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished mine anger upon them.

١٣ وَهَكَذَا أُنَفِّسُ عَنْ غَضَبِي وَيَخْمِدُ سَخَطِي إِذْ أَكُونُ قَدِ انْتَقَمْتُ. وَحِينَ يَسْتَكِينُ حَنَقِي عَلَيْهِمْ يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي فِي احْتِدَامِ غَيْرَتِي.

14 And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of every one that passes through.

١٤ وَأَجْعَلُكِ خَرَاباً وَعَاراً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكِ وَأَمَامَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَجْتَازُ بِكِ،

15 And you shall be mourned over and miserable among the nations round about you, when I have executed judgments in you in the vengeance of my wrath. I the Lord have spoken.

١٥ فَتَكُونِينَ عَاراً وَلَعْنَةً وَعِبْرَةً وَمَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ لِلأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكِ حِينَ أُنَفِّذُ فِيكِ قَضَائِي بِغَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ وَتَقْرِيعَاتٍ حَانِقَةٍ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

16 And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of your bread.

١٦ وَعِنْدَمَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ سِهَامَ الْجُوعِ الْمُمِيتَةَ الَّتِي أُعِدَّتْ لِلتَّدْمِيرِ، السِّهَامَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلْتُهَا لِخَرَابِكُمْ، عِنْدَئِذٍ أَزِيدُ مِنَ الْجُوعِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأُبِيدُ مَؤُونَةَ خُبْزِكُمْ،

17 So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I the Lord have spoken.

١٧ وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَجَاعَةَ وَالْوُحُوشَ الضَّارِيَةَ، فَتُثْكِلُكُمْ وَيَعُمُّكُمُ الْوَبَاءُ وَسَفْكُ الدِّمَاءِ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّيْفَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ».
