Ezekiel 11

1 Moreover the Ruach lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD'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 حَلَّقَ بِي الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي إِلَى بَوَّابَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِهَا خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلاً، شَاهَدْتُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ الشَّعْبِ.

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 ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الرِّجَالُ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ، الْمُتَآمِرُونَ بِمَشُورَةِ السُّوءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ،

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

٣ الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَمْ يَحِنِ الْوَقْتُ لِنَبْنِيَ حُصُوناً؟ فَهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ هِيَ كَالْقِدْرِ (أَيْ كَسُورٍ حَوْلَنَا) وَنَحْنُ كَاللَّحْمِ. (أَيْ كَالْمُحْتَمِينَ بِالسُّورِ).

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

٤ لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ!»

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

٥ وَاسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. هَذَا مَا تَحَدَّثْتُمْ بِهِ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِمَا يَدُورُ فِي خَلَدِكُمْ.

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

٦ لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ قَتْلاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَوَارِعَهَا.

7 Therefore thus says the LORD: '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 فَإِنَّ قَتْلاكُمُ الَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسَطِهَا هُمُ اللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ الْقِدْرُ، وَسَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْهَا.

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

٨ قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لِذَلِكَ أَجْلِبُ السَّيْفَ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

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 وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى قَبْضَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، وَأُنَفِّذُ فِيكُمْ أَحْكَاماً،

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

١٠ فَتُقْتَلُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ. وَأُنَفِّذُ قَضَاءً فِيكُمْ فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ حِينَئِذٍ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

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 لَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةُ لَكُمْ قِدْراً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَنْ تَكُونُوا اللَّحْمَ فِي وَسَطِهَا. بَلْ أُنَفِّذُ قَضَائِي فِي تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

12 and you shall know that I am the LORD: 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 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا أَحْكَامَهُ بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى مُمَارَسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ».

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, LORD. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

١٣ وَحَدَثَ فِيمَا كُنْتُ أَتَنَبَّأُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «آهِ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ أَتُبِيدُ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟»

14 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

١٤ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

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 the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.'

١٥ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لإِخْوَتِكَ، وَأَقْرِبَائِكَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الشَّتَاتِ مَعَكَ، الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَهْلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِذْ لَنَا قَدْ وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثاً.

16 Therefore say, 'Thus says the LORD: "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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ بَيْنَ الْبِلادِ، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِساً صَغِيراً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَبَدَّدُوا فِيهَا.

17 Therefore say, 'Thus says the LORD: "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 لَهُمْ: سَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ وَمِنَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكُمْ فِيهَا وَأَهَبُكُمْ 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 وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَزِعُونَ مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ أَوْثَانِهَا الْمَمْقُوتَةِ وَرَجَاسَاتِهَا،

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 جَمِيعاً قَلْباً وَاحِداً، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ رُوحاً جَدِيداً، وَأُزِيلُ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ. وَأَسْتَبْدِلُهُ بِقَلْبٍ مِنْ 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 وَيُطِيعُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيُمَارِسُوهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً.

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 the LORD."

٢١ أَمَّا الَّذِينَ ضَلَّتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْعَلُهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ عِقَابَ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

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 فَرَدَ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهُمْ وَحَلَّقُوا مَعَ الْعَجَلاتِ وَمَعَ مَجْدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي مَا بَرِحَ مُخَيِّماً عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقُ.

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

٢٣ وَارْتَفَعَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَنْ وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ الْمَدِينَةِ.

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

٢٤ وَحَلَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَحْضَرَنِي، فِي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَعْلَنَهَا لِي رُوحُ اللهِ، إِلَى أَرْضِ الْجَلاءِ فِي بِلادِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنِّي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُهَا،

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

٢٥ فَأَبْلَغْتُ أَهْلَ السَّبْيِ بِجَمِيعِ الْوَحْيِ الَّذِي أَعْلَنَهُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ.
