Ezekiel 22

1 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 "You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.

٢ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ تَدِينُ، هَلْ تَدِينُ مَدِينَةَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ؟ فَعَرِّفْهَا كُلَّ رَجَاسَاتِهَا،

3 You shall say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Woe to the city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her.

٣ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلسَّافِكَةُ ٱلدَّمِ فِي وَسْطِهَا لِيَأْتِيَ وَقْتُهَا، ٱلصَّانِعَةُ أَصْنَامًا لِنَفْسِهَا لِتَتَنَجَّسَ بِهَا،

4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

٤ قَدْ أَثِمْتِ بِدَمِكِ ٱلَّذِي سَفَكْتِ، وَنَجَّسْتِ نَفْسَكِ بِأَصْنَامِكِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلْتِ، وَقَرَّبْتِ أَيَّامَكِ وَبَلَغْتِ سِنِيكِ، فَلِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُكِ عَارًا لِلْأُمَمِ، وَسُخْرَةً لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

5 Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.

٥ ٱلْقَرِيبَةُ إِلَيْكِ وَٱلْبَعِيدَةُ عَنْكِ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنْكِ، يَا نَجِسَةَ ٱلِٱسْمِ، يَا كَثِيرَةَ ٱلشَّغَبِ.

6 "'"Look, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.

٦ هُوَذَا رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ ٱسْتِطَاعَتِهِ، كَانُوا فِيكِ لِأَجْلِ سَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ.

7 In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.

٧ فِيكِ أَهَانُوا أَبًا وَأُمًّا. فِي وَسْطِكِ عَامَلُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ بِٱلظُّلْمِ. فِيكِ ٱضْطَهَدُوا ٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ.

8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

٨ ٱزْدَرَيْتِ أَقْدَاسِي وَنَجَّسْتِ سُبُوتِي.

9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.

٩ كَانَ فِيكِ أُنَاسٌ وُشَاةٌ لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ، وَفِيكِ أَكَلُوا عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. فِي وَسْطِكِ عَمِلُوا رَذِيلَةً.

10 In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.

١٠ فِيكِ كَشَفَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ. فِيكِ أَذَلُّوا ٱلْمُتَنَجِّسَةَ بِطَمْثِهَا.

11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

١١ إِنْسَانٌ فَعَلَ ٱلرِّجْسَ بِٱمْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ. إِنْسَانٌ نَجَّسَ كَنَّتَهُ بِرَذِيلَةٍ. إِنْسَانٌ أَذَلَّ فِيكِ أُخْتَهُ بِنْتَ أَبِيهِ.

12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,' says the Lord YHWH.

١٢ فِيكِ أَخَذُوا ٱلرَّشْوَةَ لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ. أَخَذْتِ ٱلرِّبَا وَٱلْمُرَابَحَةَ، وَسَلَبْتِ أَقْرِبَاءَكِ بِٱلظُّلْمِ، وَنَسِيتِنِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

13 "'"Look, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.

١٣ «فَهَأَنَذَا قَدْ صَفَّقْتُ بِكَفِّي بِسَبَبِ خَطْفِكِ ٱلَّذِي خَطَفْتِ، وَبِسَبَبِ دَمِكِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي وَسْطِكِ.

14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, YHWH, have spoken it, and will do it.

١٤ فَهَلْ يَثْبُتُ قَلْبُكِ أَوْ تَقْوَى يَدَاكِ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أُعَامِلُكِ؟ أَنَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَسَأَفْعَلُ.

15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.

١٥ وَأُبَدِّدُكِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُذَرِّيكِ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، وَأُزِيلُ نَجَاسَتَكِ مِنْكِ.

16 You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am YHWH."'"

١٦ وَتَتَدَنَّسِينَ بِنَفْسِكِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

17 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

١٧ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

١٨ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ صَارَ لِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ زَغَلًا. كُلُّهُمْ نُحَاسٌ وَقَصْدِيرٌ وَحَدِيدٌ وَرَصَاصٌ فِي وَسْطِ كُورٍ. صَارُوا زَغَلَ فِضَّةٍ.

19 Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Because you have all become dross, therefore, look, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

١٩ لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ صِرْتُمْ زَغَلًا، فَلِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

20 As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.

٢٠ جَمْعَ فِضَّةٍ وَنُحَاسٍ وَحَدِيدٍ وَرَصَاصٍ وَقَصْدِيرٍ إِلَى وَسْطِ كُورٍ لِنَفْخِ ٱلنَّارِ عَلَيْهَا لِسَبْكِهَا، كَذَلِكَ أَجْمَعُكُمْ بِغَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ وَأَسْبِكُكُمْ.

21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.

٢١ فَأَجْمَعُكُمْ وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي نَارِ غَضَبِي، فَتُسْبَكُونَ فِي وَسْطِهَا.

22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, YHWH, have poured out my wrath on you.'"

٢٢ كَمَا تُسْبَكُ ٱلْفِضَّةُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْكُورِ، كَذَلِكَ تُسْبَكُونَ فِي وَسْطِهَا، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ سَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكُمْ».

23 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

٢٣ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

24 "Son of man, tell her, 'You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation,'

٢٤ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لَهَا: أَنْتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَطْهُرْ، لَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْغَضَبِ.

25 whose princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.

٢٥ فِتْنَةُ أَنْبِيَائِهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَأَسَدٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يَخْطُفُ ٱلْفَرِيسَةَ. أَكَلُوا نُفُوسًا. أَخَذُوا ٱلْكَنْزَ وَٱلنَّفِيسَ، أَكْثَرُوا أَرَامِلَهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.

26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

٢٦ كَهَنَتُهَا خَالَفُوا شَرِيعَتِي وَنَجَّسُوا أَقْدَاسِي. لَمْ يُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ وَٱلْمُحَلَّلِ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا ٱلْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّجِسِ وَٱلطَّاهِرِ، وَحَجَبُوا عُيُونَهُمْ عَنْ سُبُوتِي فَتَدَنَّسْتُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

27 Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

٢٧ رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا كَذِئَابٍ خَاطِفَةٍ خَطْفًا لِسَفْكِ ٱلدَّمِ، لِإِهْلَاكِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ لِٱكْتِسَابِ كَسْبٍ.

28 Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, 'Thus says YHWH,' when YHWH has not spoken.

٢٨ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا قَدْ طَيَّنُوا لَهُمْ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، رَائِينَ بَاطِلًا وَعَارِفِينَ لَهُمْ كَذِبًا، قَائِلِينَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ.

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.

٢٩ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ ظَلَمُوا ظُلْمًا، وَغَصَبُوا غَصْبًا، وَٱضْطَهَدُوا ٱلْفَقِيرَ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ، وَظَلَمُوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ.

30 "And I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.

٣٠ وَطَلَبْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ رَجُلًا يَبْنِي جِدَارًا وَيَقِفُ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ أَمَامِي عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِكَيْلَا أَخْرِبَهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says YHWH."

٣١ فَسَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ. أَفْنَيْتُهُمْ بِنَارِ غَضَبِي. جَلَبْتُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
