Ezekiel 16

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

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 Son of man, make known unto Jerusalem her abominations,

٢ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَطْلِعْ أَهْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى أَرْجَاسِهِمْ.

3 And thou shalt say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto Jerusalem, Thy origin and thy birth are out of the land of Canaan: thy father was an Emorite, and thy mother a Hittite.

٣ وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ لأُورُشَلِيمَ: أَصْلُكِ وَمَوْلِدُكِ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ. أَبُوكِ أَمُورِيٌّ وَأُمُّكِ حِثِّيَّةٌ.

4 And as for thy birth, on the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, nor wast thou washed in water to he cleansed; and thou wast not rubbed with salt, nor wrapt in swaddling clothes.

٤ فِي يَوْمِ مَوْلِدِكِ لَمْ يُقْطَعْ حَبْلُ سُرَّتِكِ وَلَمْ تُنَظَّفِي بِمَاءٍ وَلَمْ تُدْلَكِي بِمِلْحٍ، وَلَمْ تُقَمَّطِي.

5 No eye looked with pity on thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out on the open field, with a loathing of thy body, on the day that thou wast born.

٥ لَمْ تَرْأَفْ بِكِ عَيْنٌ أَوْ تَعْطِفْ عَلَيْكِ لِتَصْنَعَ لَكِ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا. بَلْ نُبِذْتِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ احْتِقَاراً لَكِ يَوْمَ مَوْلِدِكِ.

6 But I passed then by thee, and I saw thee stained with thy own blood, and I said unto thee, In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, In thy blood, live.

٦ وَحِينَ مَرَرْتُ بِكِ وَشَهِدْتُكِ مَازِلْتِ مُلَطَّخَةً بِدِمَائِكِ قُلْتُ لَكِ: عِيشِي بِدَمِكِ. نَعَمْ عِيشِي بِدَمِكِ.

7 Myriads, like the vegetation of the field, did I make of thee, and thou didst increase and become great, and thou attainedst the highest attractions: with thy breasts developed, and thy hair full grown; but thou wast still naked and bare.

٧ وَكَثَّرْتُكِ كَنَبْتِ الْحَقْلِ، فَنَمَيْتِ وَكَبُرْتِ وَبَلَغْتِ عُمْراً صِرْتِ فِيهِ أَجْمَلَ الْجَمِيلاتِ، فَنَهَدَ ثَدْيَاكِ وَنَمَا شَعْرُكِ، وَلَكِنَّكِ كُنْتِ عَارِيَةً مُتَجَرِّدَةً.

8 But I passed then by thee, and saw thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread the skirt of my garment over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou becamest mine.

٨ فَمَرَرْتُ بِكِ وَرَأَيْتُكِ وَإذَا بِكِ قَدْ بَلَغْتِ سِنَّ الْحُبِّ، فَبَسَطْتُ عَلَيْكِ أَطْرَافَ ثَوْبِي، وَسَتَرْتُ عَوْرَتَكِ وَحَلَفْتُ لَكِ وَأَبْرَمْتُ مَعَكِ عَهْداً، فَصِرْتِ لِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

9 Then did I bathe thee with water, yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee; and I anointed thee with oil.

٩ ثُمَّ غَسَّلْتُكِ بِمَاءٍ، وَنَظَّفْتُكِ مِنَ الدَّمِ وَطَيَّبْتُكِ بِالدُّهْنِ.

10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and made thee shoes of badger's skin, and I placed on thy head a turban of fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

١٠ وَكَسَوْتُكِ بِثِيَابٍ مُوَشَّاةٍ وَحَذَوْتُكِ بِنَعْلَيْنِ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَلَفَّعْتُكِ بِالْكَتَّانِ الْفَاخِرِ، وَدَثَّرْتُكِ بِالْحَرِيرِ،

11 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I placed bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain around thy neck.

١١ وَزَيَّنْتُكِ بِالْحُلِيِّ، إِذْ وَضَعْتُ أَسَاوِرَ فِي يَدَيْكِ وَعَقْداً فِي عُنُقِكِ.

12 And I placed a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thy ears, and a crown of splendor on thy head.

١٢ وَجَعَلْتُ خِزَامَةً فِي أَنْفِكِ وَقِرْطَيْنِ فِي أُذُنَيْكِ وَإِكْلِيلَ جَمَالٍ عَلَى رَأْسِكِ

13 Thus wast thou ornamented with gold and silver; and thy garments were of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; fine flour, and honey, and oil didst thou eat: and thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst succeed to acquire dominion.

١٣ فَتَزَيَّنْتِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، وَكَانَتْ ثِيَابُكِ مِنَ الْكَتَّانِ الْفَاخِرِ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَكُلِّ مَا هُوَ مُوَشّىً. وَأَكَلْتِ السَّمِيذَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَالزَّيْتَ، فَتَمَتَّعْتِ بِأَرْوَعِ الْجَمَالِ حَتَّى صِرْتِ صَالِحَةً لِتَكُونِي زَوْجَةَ مَلِكٍ.

14 And thy fame went forth among the nations because of thy beauty; for it was perfect through my glorious ornament, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Eternal.

١٤ فَذَاعَ اسْمُكِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ لِفَرْطِ جَمَالِكِ لأَنَّهُ اكْتَمَلَ بِفَضْلِ بَهَائِي الَّذِي أَضْفَيْتُهُ عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

15 But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and play the harlot because of thy fame, and lavish thy lewd caresses on every one that passed by—on him they were bestowed.

١٥ وَلَكِنَّكِ اعْتَمَدْتِ عَلَى جَمَالِكِ وَزَنَيْتِ اتِّكَالاً عَلَى شُهْرَتِكِ. أَغْدَقْتِ عَهَارَتَكِ عَلَى كُلِّ عَابِرِ سَبِيلٍ رَاغِبٍ فِيكِ

16 And thou didst take from thy garments, and deck thee high-places with divers colors, and play the harlot thereupon: never should the like come to pass, and never should it be so.

١٦ وَأَخَذْتِ بَعْضَ ثِيَابِكِ فَصَنَعْتِ لِنَفْسِكِ مَشَارِفَ لِلأَصْنَامِ مُلَوَّنَةً زَنَيْتِ عَلَيْهَا زِنىً لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَثِيلٌ وَلَنْ يَكُونَ.

17 And thou didst take thy elegant ornaments of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and make for thyself male images, and play the harlot with them;

١٧ وَأَحْضَرْتِ مَا وَهَبْتُكِ مِنْ حُلِيِّ الْجَوَاهِرِ، مِنْ ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي، فَصَنَعْتِ مِنْهَا تَمَاثِيلَ ذُكُورٍ وَزَنَيْتِ بِها (أَيْ عَبَدْتِهَا).

18 And thou didst take thy broidered garments, and cover them: and my oil and my incense didst thou place before them.

١٨ وَأَخَذْتِ ثِيَابَكِ الْمُوَشَّاةَ فَكَسَوْتِهَا بِها، وَوَضَعْتِ أَمَامَهَا دُهْنِي وَبَخُورِي،

19 And my bread which I had given thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, which I had let thee eat, even this didst thou set before them for a sweet savour: yes, so was it, saith the Lord Eternal.

١٩ وَخُبْزِي الَّذِي قَدَّمْتُهُ لَكِ وَالسَّمِيذَ وَالزَّيْتَ وَالْعَسَلَ الَّذِي أَطْعَمْتُكِ، وَقَرَّبْتِهَا أَمَامَهَا كَتَقْدِمَةِ سُرُورٍ، هَكَذَا فَعَلْتِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

20 And thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hadst born unto me, and didst slaughter these unto them to be devoured; [but] were thy acts of lewdness not yet enough?

٢٠ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتِ أَبْنَاءَكِ وَبَنَاتِكِ الَّذِينَ أَنْجَبْتِهِمْ لِي، فَذَبَحْتِهِمْ قَرَابِينَ لَهَا. فَهَلْ كَانَ زِنَاكِ أَمْراً يَسِيراً؟

21 That thou didst slay my children, and give them up to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

٢١ قَدْ ذَبَحْتِ أَبْنَائِي وَسَلَّمْتِهِمْ لِلأَوْثَانِ لِيَجُوزُوا فِي النَّارِ قُرْبَاناً لَهَا.

22 And in all thy abominations and thy acts of lewdness thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast stained with thy blood.

٢٢ وَفِي جَمِيعِ رَجَاسَاتِكِ وَزِنَاكِ لَمْ تَذْكُرِي أَيَّامَ حَدَاثَتِكِ حِينَ كُنْتِ عَارِيَةً مُتَجَرِّدَةً مُلَطَّخَةً بِدَمِكِ.

23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, —[woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Eternal; ]—

٢٣ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَعْدِ كُلِّ شَرِّكِ وَيْلٌ، وَيْلٌ لَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ

24 That thou didst build unto thyself eminences, and make thyself elevations in every street.

٢٤ شَيَّدْتِ لِنَفْسِكِ مَاخُوراً وَصَنَعْتِ لَكِ أَنْصَاباً فِي كُلِّ سَاحَةٍ.

25 On the corner of every road didst thou build thy elevations, and make thy beauty abominable, and spread out thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy acts of lewdness.

٢٥ بَنَيْتِ مُرْتَفَعَتَكِ عِنْدَ نَاصِيَةِ كُلِّ طَرِيقٍ، وَدَنَّسْتِ جَمَالَكِ وَوَهَبْتِ جَسَدَكِ لِكُلِّ عَابِرِ سَبِيلٍ لِتُكْثِرِي مِنْ عَهَارَتِكِ.

26 And thou didst play the harlot with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, with large limbs, and multiply thy acts of lewdness, to provoke me to anger.

٢٦ وَزَنَيْتِ مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ مِصْرَ، جِيرَانِكِ الشَّهْوَانِيِّينَ، وَأَكْثَرْتِ فَوَاحِشَكِ لإِسْخَاطِي.

27 And, behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thy stated portion; and I gave thee up unto the will of those that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were made to blush for thy incestuous course.

٢٧ هَا أَنَا أُعَاقِبُكِ وَأُنْقِصُ مِنْ نَصِيبِكِ وَأُسْلِمُكِ لأَهْوَاءِ عَدُوَّاتِكِ بَنَاتِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ اللَّوَاتِي يَخْجَلْنَ مِنْ تَصَرُّفِكِ الْفَاجِرِ.

28 Then didst thou play the harlot with the sons of Asshur, because thou wast unsatiable: yea, thou didst play the harlot with them, and wast even then not satisfied.

٢٨ وَإِذْ لَمْ تَشْبَعِي زِنىً ارْتَكَبْتِ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَعَ أَبْنَاءِ أَشُورَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَكْتَفِي.

29 And thou didst multiply thy lewdness with the traders' land as far as Chaldea; and even with this wast thou not satisfied.

٢٩ ثُمَّ أَكْثَرْتِ مِنِ ارْتِكَابِ الْفُجُورِ فِي أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ حَتَّى دِيَارِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تَكْتَفِي.

30 How very corrupt is thy heart, saith the Lord Eternal, seeing thou didst all these things, deeds of an abandoned lewd woman;

٣٠ مَا أَشَرَّ قَلْبَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ إِذِ اقْتَرَفْتِ هَذِهِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ كُلَّهَا، فِعْلَ امْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ حَقِيرَةٍ.

31 Seeing that thou didst build thy eminences at the corner of every road, and make thy elevations in every street; and wast not like a harlot, as thou scornedst the wages.

٣١ فَشَيَّدْتِ مَاخُورَكِ عِنْدَ نَاصِيَةِ كُلِّ طَرِيقٍ، وَأَقَمْتِ مُرْتَفَعَةَ صَنَمِكِ فِي كُلِّ سَاحَةٍ وَلَمْ تَكُونِي كَالزَّانِيَةِ الَّتِي تَقْبِضُ أُجْرَةَ زِنَاهَا، لأَنَّكِ وَهَبْتِ نَفْسَكِ مَجَّاناً احْتِقَاراً لِكُلِّ أُجْرَةٍ.

32 O thou adulterous wife! who, while bound to her husband, receiveth strangers!

٣٢ إِذْ كُنْتِ زَوْجَةً فَاسِقَةً أَحَلَّتِ الْغُرَبَاءَ مَوْضِعَ زَوْجِهَا.

33 Unto all harlots they give presents; but thou hast given thy presents to all thy lovers, and hast bribed them, that they might come unto thee from every side in thy acts of lewdness.

٣٣ كُلُّ الزَّانِيَاتِ يَنَلْنَ هَدَايَا مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، أَمَّا أَنْتِ فَأَعْطَيْتِ هَدَايَاكِ لِمُحِبِّيكِ، وَرَشَوْتِهِمْ كَيْ يُقْبِلُوا إِلَيْكِ مِنْ كُلِّ صَوْبٍ لِيَزْنُوا مَعَكِ.

34 And the reverse was the case with thee from [other] women in thy acts of lewdness, that men did not follow thee to seek thy lewd caresses; and because thou gavest the wages, and no wages were given thee: so was it the reverse with thee.

٣٤ فَأَنْتِ فِي زِنَاكِ تَخْتَلِفِينَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ النِّسَاءِ الزَّانِيَاتِ، إِذْ لَا يَسْعَى أَحَدٌ وَرَاءَكِ لِيَزْنِيَ مَعَكِ بَلْ عَلَى النَّقِيضِ، أَنْتِ تُعْطِينَهُمْ أُجْرَةً لِيَفْسُقُوا مَعَكِ وَلا تَقْبِضِينَ مِنْهُمْ أُجْرَةً.

35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!

٣٥ لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا الزَّانِيَةُ قَضَاءَ الرَّبِّ:

36 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thy wealth was squandered, and thy nakedness was uncovered through thy lewd acts with thy lovers, and with all thy abominable idols, and for the blood of thy children, whom thou didst give unto them:

٣٦ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنَّكِ أَنْفَقْتِ مَالَكِ وَكَشَفْتِ عَنْ عُرْيِكِ فِي فَوَاحِشِكِ لِعُشَّاقِكِ وَلِسَائِرِ أَصْنَامِكِ الْمَمْقُوتَةِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ دِمَاءِ أَبْنَائِكِ الَّذِينَ قَرَّبْتِهِمْ لَهَا،

37 Therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, whom thou hast given pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, together with all whom thou hast hated, —yea, I will gather them all round about thee, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

٣٧ هَا أَنَا أَحْشِدُ جَمِيعَ عُشَّاقِكِ الَّذِينَ تَلَذَّذْتِ بِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعَ مَنْ تَلَذَّذتِ بِهِمْ مَعَ كُلِّ الَّذِينَ أَبْغَضْتِهِمْ فَأَجْمَعُهُمْ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، وَأَكْشِفُ عَنْ عُرْيِكِ فَيُشَاهِدُونَ عَوْرَتَكِ كُلَّهَا،

38 And I will judge thee, as adulteresses and women that shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.

٣٨ وَأَدِينُكِ كَمَا تُدَانُ الزَّانِيَاتُ وَسَافِكَاتُ الدِّمَاءِ، وَأُوْقِعُ بِكِ عِقَابَ دَمِ سَخَطِي وَغَيْرَتِي،

39 And I will also give thee up into their hand, and they shall pull down thy eminences, and shall break down thy elevations; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and they shall take thy elegant ornaments, and leave thee naked and bare.

٣٩ وَأُسَلِّمُكِ لأَيْدِيهِمْ فَيَهْدِمُونَ مَاخُورَكِ وَمُرْتَفَعَةَ نُصُبِكِ، وَيَسْلِبُونَكِ ثِيَابَكِ وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَى جَوَاهِرِ زِينَتِكِ وَيَتْرُكُونَكِ عَارِيَةً مُتَجَرِّدَةً،

40 And they shall bring up against thee an assembly, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords;

٤٠ وَيُثِيرُونَ عَلَيْكِ الْجُمُوعَ وَيَرْجُمُونَكِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَيُمَزِّقُونَكِ بِسُيُوفِهِمْ.

41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute punishments on thee before the eyes of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and also the wages [of sin] shalt thou not give any more.

٤١ وَيُحْرِقُونَ بُيُوتَكِ بِالنَّارِ، وَيُنَفِّذُونَ فِيكِ أَحْكَاماً عَلَى مَرْأَى نِسَاءٍ كَثِيرَاتٍ. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَمْنَعُكِ عَنِ الزِّنَى وَلا تَبْذُلِينَ أُجْرَةً بَعْدُ لِلزُّنَاةِ مَعَكِ.

42 And then will I assuage my fury on thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

٤٢ حِينَئِذٍ أُسَكِّنُ شِدَّةَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ وَأَصْرِفُ عَنْكِ غَيْرَتِي فَأَهْدَأُ وَلا أَسْخَطُ بَعْدُ.

43 Because that thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, but didst irritate me with all these things: behold, therefore I also will bring thy course upon thy head, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou shalt no more commit incest with all thy [other] abominations.

٤٣ وَلأَنَّكِ لَمْ تَذْكُرِي أَيَّامَ حَدَاثَتِكِ، وَإِنَّمَا أَثَرْتِ حَنَقِي بِارْتِكَابِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ، هَا أَنَا بِدَوْرِي أُعَاقِبُكِ أَشَدَّ الْعِقَابِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَلا تَقْتَرِفِينَ هَذِهِ الرَّذِيلَةَ فَوْقَ رَجَاسَاتِكِ كُلِّهَا.

44 Behold, every one that speaketh in proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

٤٤ هَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مُتَمَثِّلٍ يَقْتَبِسُ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ عَلَيْكِ قَائِلاً: كَمَا تَكُونُ الأُمُّ تَكُونُ ابْنَتُهَا

45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, loathing her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who have loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Emorite.

٤٥ فَأَنْتِ ابْنَةُ أُمِّكِ الَّتِي كَرِهَتْ زَوْجَهَا وَأَبْنَاءَهَا، وَأَنْتِ شَقِيقَةُ أَخَوَاتِكِ اللَّوَاتِي عُفْنَ رِجَالَهُنَّ وَأَبْنَاءَهُنَّ. فَأُمُّكُنَّ حِثِّيَّةٌ وَأَبُوكُنَّ أَمُورِيٌّ.

46 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she with her daughters, that dwelleth at thy left hand, and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.

٤٦ وَأُخْتُكِ الْكُبْرَى هِيَ السَّامِرَةُ الْمُقِيمَةُ مَعَ بَنَاتِهَا إِلَى الشِّمَالِ مِنْكِ، وَأُخْتُكِ الصُّغْرَى هِيَ سَدُومُ الْمُقِيمَةُ مَعَ بَنَاتِهَا إِلَى الْجَنُوبِ مِنْكِ.

47 Yet not even in their ways didst thou walk, nor act according to their abominations: as though this were quite too little, and thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways.

٤٧ وَلَمْ تَكْتَفِي بِالسُّلُوكِ فِي طُرُقِ فُجُورِهِنَّ وَارْتِكَابِ مِثْلِ أَرْجَاسِهِنَّ وَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَلِيلٌ عَلَيْكِ بَلْ تَفَوَّقْتِ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَسَاداً فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِكِ.

48 As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, Sodom thy sister, she with her daughters, hath not done as thou hast done, thou with thy daughters.

٤٨ لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ حَيٌّ أَنَا، إِنَّ سَدُومَ أُخْتَكِ وَبَنَاتِهَا لَمْ يَقْتَرِفْنَ الْمَفَاسِدَ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفْتِهَا أَنْتِ وَبَنَاتُكِ.

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous security were hers and her daughters'; but the hand of the poor and needy did she not strengthen.

٤٩ أَمَّا إِثْمُ أُخْتِكِ سَدُومَ، فَإِنَّهَا مَعَ بَنَاتِهَا طَغَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْغَطْرَسَةُ وَالتُّخْمَةُ وَسَلامُ الاطْمِئْنَانِ، وَلَمْ تُغِثِ الْفَقِيرَ وَالْمِسْكِينَ.

50 And they became haughty, and committed abominations before me: therefore did I remove them when I saw their course.

٥٠ وَتَشَامَخْنَ وَارْتَكَبْنَ الرِّجْسَ أَمَامِي، فَمَحَوْتُهُنَّ عِنْدَمَا شَاهَدْتُ ذَلِكَ.

51 And Samaria hath not committed even the half of thy sins; but thou didst multiply thy abominations more than they; and thou hast justified thy sisters through all thy abominations which thou hast done.

٥١ وَلَمْ تُخْطِئِ السَّامِرَةُ نِصْفَ خَطَايَاكِ، بَلْ كُنْتِ أَكْثَرَ رَجَاسَاتٍ مِنْهُنَّ، فَجَعَلْتِ أُخْتَيْكِ تَبْدُوَانِ أَكْثَرَ صَلاحاً مِنْكِ، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ جَمِيعِ رَجَاسَاتِكِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفْتِهَا

52 Bear then thou also thy own confusion, which thou didst adjudge unto each of thy sisters; through thy sins, which thou hast committed more abominably than they, are they made more righteous than thou: therefore thou also—be ashamed, and bear thy confusion, since thou hast justified thy sisters.

٥٢ فَاحْمِلِي أَنْتِ أَيْضاً عَارَكِ، إِذْ جَعَلْتِ الْقَضَاءَ فِي صَالِحِ أُخْتَيْكِ لِفَرْطِ مَعَاصِيكِ الَّتِي تَفَوَّقْتِ بِها عَلَى رَجَاسَتِهِنَّ. قَدْ أَصْبَحْنَ أَكْثَرَ بِرّاً مِنْكِ، فَاخْزَيْ وَاحْمِلِي عَارَكِ إِذْ قَدْ بَرَّرْتِ أَخَوَاتِكِ.

53 And I will bring back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of the captives in the midst of them:

٥٣ وَلَكِنِّي سَأَرُدُّ سَبْيَهُنَّ: سَبْيَ سَدُومَ وَبَنَاتِهَا، وَسَبْيَ السَّامِرَةِ وَبَنَاتِهَا، وَسَبْيَ مَسْبِيِّيكِ فِي جُمْلَتِهِمْ.

54 In order that thou mayest bear thy confusion, and mayest be confounded because of all that thou hast done, when thou art a comfort unto them.

٥٤ لِكَيْ تَحْمِلِي عَارَكِ وَتَخْجَلِي مِمَّا ارْتَكَبْتِ عِنْدَمَا أَصْبَحْتِ تَعْزِيَةً لَهُنَّ.

55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state.

٥٥ فَأَخَوَاتُكِ: سَدُومُ وَبَنَاتُهَا، وَالسَّامِرَةُ وَبَنَاتُهَا يَعُدْنَ إِلَى سَابِقِ عَهْدِهِنَّ، وَكَذِلكَ أَنْتِ وَبَنَاتُكِ أَيْضاً.

56 And was not thy sister Sodom a report in thy mouth in the days of thy pride,

٥٦ إِنَّ اسْمَ أُخْتِكِ سَدُومَ لَمْ يَرِدْ ذِكْرُهُ عَلَى فَمِكِ فِي يَوْمِ غَطْرَسَتِكِ،

57 Before yet thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all those round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who taunted thee on all sides?

٥٧ قَبْلَ انْكِشَافِ شَرِّكِ. وَهَا أَنْتِ قَدْ صِرْتِ مَثَارَ تَعْيِيرِ بَنَاتِ أَرَامَ وَجَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِها مِنْ بَنَاتِ فِلِسْطِينَ وَكُلِّ اللَّوَاتِي حَوْلَكِ مِمَّنِ احْتَقَرْنَكِ.

58 Thy incest and thy abominations, —thou thyself hadst to bear them, saith the Lord.

٥٨ لَقَدْ حَمَلْتِ عِقَابَ فُجُورِكِ وَرَجَاسَاتِكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

59 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, thou who hast despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

٥٩ لِهَذَا سَأَصْنَعُ بِكِ كَمَا صَنَعْتِ، إِذِ ازْدَرَيْتِ بِالْقَسَمِ عِنْدَمَا نَكَثْتِ الْعَهْدَ.

60 Nevertheless will I indeed remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

٦٠ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَذْكُرُ عَهْدِي مَعَكِ فِي أَيَّامِ حَدَاثَتِكِ، وَأَعْقِدُ مَعَكِ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا،

61 And thou shalt then remember thy ways, and be confounded, when thou receivest thy sisters, both those that are older than thou and younger than thou: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, though not because thou wast faithful to the covenant.

٦١ فَتَذْكُرِينَ عِنْدَئِذٍ طُرُقَكِ حِينَ تَسْتَقْبِلِينَ أُخْتَيْكِ: الْكُبْرَى وَالصُّغْرَى كِلْتَيْهِمَا، وَأَجْعَلُهُمَا كَبِنْتَيْنِ لَكِ، إِنَّمَا لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِفَضْلِ عَهْدِكِ.

62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:

٦٢ فَأُقِيمُ عَهْدِي مَعَكِ فَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ،

63 In order that thou mayest remember, and feel ashamed, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Eternal.

٦٣ لِكَيْ تَتَذَكَّرِي فَتَخْجَلِي وَلا تَفْتَحِي فَمَكِ مِنْ بَعْدُ بِسَبَبِ خِزْيِكِ، حِينَ أَغْفِرُ لَكِ كُلَّ مَا ارْتَكَبْتِ مِنْ شَرٍّ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
