Ezekiel 11

1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.

١ ثُمَّ رَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا، وَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ، وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

2 He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;

٢ فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْمُفَكِّرُونَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلْمُشِيرُونَ مَشُورَةً رَدِيئَةً فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

3 who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'

٣ اَلْقَائِلُونَ: مَا هُوَ قَرِيبٌ بِنَاءُ ٱلْبُيُوتِ! هِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ وَنَحْنُ ٱللَّحْمُ.

4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."

٤ لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ. تَنَبَّأْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ».

5 The Spirit of Jehovah fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says Jehovah: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

٥ وَحَلَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي: «قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا قُلْتُمْ يَابَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَا يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ.

6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'

٦ قَدْ كَثَّرْتُمْ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ أَزِقَّتَهَا بِٱلْقَتْلَى.

7 Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.

٧ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَتْلَاكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسْطِهَا هُمُ ٱللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ. وَإِيَّاكُمْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا.

8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says Jehovah.

٨ قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، فَٱلسَّيْفُ أَجْلِبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

9 'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

٩ وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ، وَأُجْرِي فِيكُمْ أَحْكَامًا.

10 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

١٠ بِٱلسَّيْفِ تَسْقُطُونَ. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

11 This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;

١١ هَذِهِ لَا تَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِدْرًا، وَلَا أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ ٱللَّحْمَ فِي وَسْطِهَا. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ،

12 and you shall know that I am Jehovah: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.'"

١٢ فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِأَحْكَامِهِ، بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ».

13 It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, Jehovah. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

١٣ وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَنَبَّأْتُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ. فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَلْ تُفْنِي أَنْتَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟».

14 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١٤ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

15 "Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from Jehovah. This land has been given to us for a possession.'

١٥ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِخْوَتُكَ إِخْوَتُكَ ذَوُو قَرَابَتِكَ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ٱبْتَعِدُوا عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَنَا أُعْطِيَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِيرَاثًا.

16 Therefore say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come."'

١٦ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْعَدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ بَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِسًا صَغِيرًا فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا.

17 Therefore say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."

١٧ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَحْشُرُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَبَدَّدْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأُعْطِيكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

18 They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.

١٨ فَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَيُزِيلُونَ جَمِيعَ مَكْرُهَاتِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ رَجَاسَاتِهَا مِنْهَا.

19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

١٩ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ ٱلْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ،

20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

٢٠ لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا، فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says Jehovah."

٢١ أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ قَلْبُهُمْ ذَاهِبٌ وَرَاءَ قَلْبِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْلِبُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

٢٢ ثُمَّ رَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

23 The glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

٢٣ وَصَعِدَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَرْقِيِّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

٢٤ وَحَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ وَجَاءَ بِي فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا بِرُوحِ ٱللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، فَصَعِدَتْ عَنِّي ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا.

25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shown me.

٢٥ فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهُ.
