Ezekiel 28

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because your heart has been high, And you say: I [am] a god, I have inhabited the habitation of God, In the heart of the seas, And you [are] man, and not God, And you give out your heart as the heart of 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, you [are] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from you.

٣ هَا أَنْتَ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ دَانِيالَ وَلا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ سِرٌّ.

4 By your wisdom and by your understanding You have made wealth for yourself, And make gold and silver in your treasuries.

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

5 By the abundance of your wisdom, Through your merchandise, You have multiplied your wealth, And your heart is high through your wealth.

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

6 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your giving out your heart as the heart of God,

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

7 Therefore, behold, I am bringing in strangers against you, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom, And they have pierced your brightness.

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

8 They bring you down to destruction, You die by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.

٨ يَطْرَحُونَكَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ فَتَمُوتُ مَوْتَ الْقَتْلَى فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْبِحَارِ.

9 Do you really say, I [am] God, Before him who is slaying you? And you [are] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing you.

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

10 You die the deaths of the uncircumcised, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.

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

11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

١١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

12 “Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And you have said to him, Thus said Lord YHWH: You are sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

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

13 You have been in Eden, the garden of God, Every precious stone [was] your covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes, In you in the day of your being produced, have been 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 And I established you as the anointed, covering cherub, You have been in [the] holy mountain of God, You have walked up and down in [the] midst of [the] stones of fire.

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

15 You [were] perfect in your ways, From [the] day of your being created, Until perversity was found in you.

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

16 By [the] abundance of your merchandise They have filled your midst with violence, And you sin, And I thrust you from [the] mountain of God, And I destroy you, O covering cherub, From [the] midst 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 Your heart has been high because of your beauty, You have corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness, I have cast you to earth, I have set you before kings, to look on you,

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

18 From [the] abundance of your iniquity, By [the] perversity of your merchandise, You have defiled your sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from your midst, It has devoured you, And I make you become ashes on the earth, In [the] eyes of all beholding you.

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 knowing you among the peoples Have been astonished at you, You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time.”

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

20 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢٠ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy concerning it;

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

22 and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Sidon, And I have been honored in your midst, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My doing judgments in her, And I have been 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 And I have sent pestilence into her, And blood into her out-places, The wounded has been judged in her midst, By the sword on her all around, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.

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 there is no more pricking brier and paining thorn For the house of Israel, Of all around them—despising them, And they have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.

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 said Lord YHWH: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to Jacob,

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 have dwelt confidently on it, And built houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently—in My doing judgments, On all those despising them all around, And they have known that I [am] their God YHWH!”

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