Ezekiel 3

1 He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

١ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ مَا تَجِدُهُ. كُلْ هَذَا الدَّرْجَ وامْضِ وَخَاطِبْ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

٢ فَفَتَحْتُ فَمِي فَأَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا الدَّرْجَ،

3 He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

٣ وَقَالَ لِي: «أَطْعِمْ جَوْفَكَ وَامْلَأْهُ بِهَذَا الدَّرْجِ الَّذِي أُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهُ». فَالْتَهَمْتُهُ، فَكَانَ فِي فَمِي فِي حَلاوَةِ الْعَسَلِ.

4 He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.

٤ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْطَلِقْ إِلَى شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَاطِبْهُمْ بِكَلِمَاتِي.

5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

٥ فَإِنَّكَ لَسْتَ مُرْسَلاً إِلَى أُمَّةٍ ذَاتِ لَهْجَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ وَلُغَةٍ مُبْهَمَةٍ، بَلْ إِلَى شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.

٦ وَلا إِلَى شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ غَرِيبَةِ اللهَجَاتِ وَمُبْهَمَةِ اللُّغَاتِ لَا تَفْهَمُ كَلامَهُمْ. حَقّاً لَوْ أَرْسَلْتُكَ إِلَى هَؤُلاءِ لَسَمِعُوا لَكَ!

7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.

٧ لَكِنَّ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَوَدُّونَ الاسْتِمَاعَ لَكَ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَوَدُّونَ الاسْتِمَاعَ لِي، لأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعاً مُعَانِدُونَ قُسَاةُ الْقُلُوبِ.

8 Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.

٨ هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهَكَ صُلْباً مِثْلَ وُجُوهِهِمْ، وَجَبْهَتَكَ قَاسِيَةً مِثْلَ جِبَاهِهِمْ.

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."

٩ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جَبْهَتَكَ فِي صَلابَةِ الْمَاسِ، أَقْسَى مِنَ الصَّوَّانِ، فَلا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ مِنْ مَرْآهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ».

10 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

١٠ ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ قَائِلاً: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، اسْتَوْعِبْ فِي قَلْبِكَ كُلَّ مَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِهِ مِنْ كَلامٍ، وَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَيْهِ بِأُذُنَيْنِ مُرْهَفَتَيْنِ.

11 And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

١١ وَامْضِ إِلَى الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِكَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ. سَوَاءٌ سَمِعُوا لَكَ أَوْ أَبَوْا».

12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place."

١٢ ثُمَّ حَمَلَنِي الرُّوحُ، فَسَمِعْتُ خَلْفِي صَوْتَ زَلْزَلَةٍ عَنِيفَةٍ قَائِلاً: «مُبَارَكٌ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ».

13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

١٣ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ صَوْتُ أَجْنِحَةٍ حِينَ تَلامَسَتْ، وَصَوْتُ الْعَجَلاتِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ لَهَا، فَبَدَا كَجَلَبَةِ زِلْزَالٍ عَنِيفٍ.

14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of the LORD was strong on me.

١٤ وَهَكَذَا حَلَّقَ بِي رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَحَمَلَنِي بَعِيداً، وَقَدْ جَاشَتْ حَرَارَةُ رُوحِي بِمَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي، وَلَكِنْ كَانَتْ يَدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ شَدِيدَةً.

15 Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

١٥ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى الْمَسْبِيِّينَ الْقَاطِنِينَ إِلَى جُوَارِ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ عِنْدَ تَلِّ أَبِيبَ، فَأَقَمْتُ هُنَاكَ حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُونَ مُتَحَيِّراً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

16 It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

١٦ وَفِي خِتَامِ السَّبْعَةِ الأَيَّامِ، أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.

١٧ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ رَقِيباً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَصْغِ إِلَى كَلِمَتِي وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ بِها عَلَى لِسَانِي.

18 When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

١٨ فَإِذَا قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: أَنْتَ لابُدَّ مَائِتٌ، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُ وَلَمْ تُحَذِّرْهُ لِيَرْجِعَ عَنْ طُرُقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَيَحْيَا، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الشِّرِّيرَ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ.

19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

١٩ لَكِنْ إِنْ أَنْذَرْتَ الشِّرِّيرَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ شَرِّهِ وَعَنْ طُرُقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ، وَتَنْجُو أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ.

20 "Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

٢٠ وَكَذَلِكَ إِنْ حَادَ الْبَارُّ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَارْتَكَبَ الإِثْمَ، وَنَصَبْتُ أَمَامَهُ مَعْثَرَةً، فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ. وَلأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ بِذَنْبِهِ وَلا تُذْكَرُ بَعْدُ أَعْمَالُهُ الصَّالِحَةُ الَّتِي قَامَ بِها، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ.

21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."

٢١ أَمَّا إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَنْذَرْتَ الْبَارَّ حَتَّى لَا يُخْطِئَ، وَلَمْ يُخْطِئْ، فَإِنَّهُ حَتْماً يَحْيَا لأَنَّهُ قَبِلَ الإِنْذَارَ، وَتَنْجُو أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ».

22 The hand of the LORD was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."

٢٢ ثُمَّ كَانَتْ هُنَاكَ عَلَيَّ يَدُ الرَّبِّ فَقَالَ لِي: «قُمُ اخْرُجْ إِلَى السَّهْلِ فَأُخَاطِبَكَ».

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

٢٣ فَنَهَضْتُ وَمَضَيْتُ إِلَى السَّهْلِ، وَهُنَاكَ رَأَيْتُ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ وَاقِفاً، مُمَاثِلاً لِمَجْدِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فَانْطَرَحْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي.

24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.

٢٤ فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «اذْهَبْ وَاعْتَزِلْ فِي بَيْتِكَ.

25 But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

٢٥ وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا هُمْ يَرْبِطُونَكَ بِالْحِبَالِ وَيُقَيِّدُونَكَ فَلا تَخْرُجُ فِي مَا بَيْنَهُمْ.

26 and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.

٢٦ وَأُلْصِقُ لِسَانَكَ بِحَنَكِكَ فَتَبْكَمُ وَتَكُفُّ عَنْ تَقْرِيعِهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

٢٧ وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا أُخَاطِبُكَ، أَفْتَحُ فَمَكَ فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ، مَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيَسْمَعْ، وَمَنْ يَأْبَ فَلْيَمْتَنِعْ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ».
