Ezekiel 23
1 The word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ |
2 "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
| «يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَانَ ٱمْرَأَتَانِ ٱبْنَتَا أُمٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ، | ٢ |
3 and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
| وَزَنَتَا بِمِصْرَ. فِي صِبَاهُمَا زَنَتَا. هُنَاكَ دُغْدِغَتْ ثُدِيُّهُمَا، وَهُنَاكَ تَزَغْزَغَتْ تَرَائِبُ عُذْرَتِهِمَا. | ٣ |
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
| وَٱسْمُهُمَا: أُهُولَةُ ٱلْكَبِيرَةُ، وَأُهُولِيبَةُ أُخْتُهَا. وَكَانَتَا لِي، وَوَلَدَتَا بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. وَٱسْمَاهُمَا: ٱلسَّامِرَةُ «أُهُولَةُ»، وَأُورُشَلِيمُ «أُهُولِيبَةُ». | ٤ |
5 "Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
| وَزَنَتْ أُهُولَةُ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَعَشِقَتْ مُحِبِّيهَا، أَشُّورَ ٱلْأَبْطَالَ | ٥ |
6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
| ٱللَّابِسِينَ ٱلْأَسْمَانْجُونِيَّ وُلَاةً وَشِحَنًا، كُلُّهُمْ شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ، فُرْسَانٌ رَاكِبُونَ ٱلْخَيْلَ. | ٦ |
7 She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
| فَدَفَعَتْ لَهُمْ عُقْرَهَا لِمُخْتَارِي بَنِي أَشُّورَ كُلِّهِمْ، وَتَنَجَّسَتْ بِكُلِّ مَنْ عَشِقَتْهُمْ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 Neither has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
| وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْ زِنَاهَا مِنْ مِصْرَ أَيْضًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ ضَاجَعُوهَا فِي صِبَاهَا، وَزَغْزَغُوا تَرَائِبَ عِذْرَتِهَا وَسَكَبُوا عَلَيْهَا زِنَاهُمْ. | ٨ |
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
| لِذَلِكَ سَلَّمْتُهَا لِيَدِ عُشَّاقِهَا، لِيَدِ بَنِي أَشُّورَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَشِقَتْهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
| هُمْ كَشَفُوا عَوْرَتَهَا. أَخَذُوا بَنِيهَا وَبَنَاتِهَا، وَذَبَحُوهَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، فَصَارَتْ عِبْرَةً لِلنِّسَاءِ. وَأَجْرَوْا عَلَيْهَا حُكْمًا. | ١٠ |
11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.
| «فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أُخْتُهَا أُهُولِيبَةُ ذَلِكَ أَفْسَدَتْ فِي عِشْقِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا، وَفِي زِنَاهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زِنَا أُخْتِهَا. | ١١ |
12 She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
| عَشِقَتْ بَنِي أَشُّورَ ٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلشِّحَنَ ٱلْأَبْطَالَ ٱللَّابِسِينَ أَفْخَرَ لِبَاسٍ، فُرْسَانًا رَاكِبِينَ ٱلْخَيْلَ كُلُّهُمْ شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ. | ١٢ |
13 I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
| فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهَا قَدْ تَنَجَّسَتْ، وَلِكِلْتَيْهِمَا طَرِيقٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. | ١٣ |
14 She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
| وَزَادَتْ زِنَاهَا. وَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى رِجَالٍ مُصَوَّرِينَ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ، صُوَرُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ مُصَوَّرَةٍ بِمُغْرَةٍ، | ١٤ |
15 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
| مُنَطَّقِينَ بِمَنَاطِقَ عَلَى أَحْقَائِهِمْ، عَمَائِمُهُمْ مَسْدُولَةٌ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ. كُلُّهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَنْظَرِ رُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتٍ شِبْهُ بَنِي بَابِلَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ أَرْضُ مِيلَادِهِمْ، | ١٥ |
16 As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
| عَشِقَتْهُمْ عِنْدَ لَمْحِ عَيْنَيْهَا إِيَّاهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ رُسُلًا إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ١٦ |
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
| فَأَتَاهَا بَنُو بَابِلَ فِي مَضْجَعِ ٱلْحُبِّ وَنَجَّسُوهَا بِزِنَاهُمْ، فَتَنَجَّسَتْ بِهِمْ، وجَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُهَا. | ١٧ |
18 So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
| وَكَشَفَتْ زِنَاهَا وَكَشَفَتْ عَوْرَتَهَا، فَجَفَتْهَا نَفْسِي، كَمَا جَفَتْ نَفْسِي أُخْتَهَا. | ١٨ |
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
| وَأَكْثَرَتْ زِنَاهَا بِذِكْرِهَا أَيَّامَ صِبَاهَا ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا زَنَتْ بِأَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١٩ |
20 She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
| وَعَشِقَتْ مَعْشُوقِيهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَحْمُهُمْ كَلَحْمِ ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَمَنِيُّهُمْ كَمَنِيِّ ٱلْخَيْلِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
| وَٱفْتَقَدْتِ رَذِيلَةَ صِبَاكِ بِزَغْزَغَةِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ تَرَائِبَكِ لِأَجْلِ ثَدْيِ صِبَاكِ. | ٢١ |
22 "Therefore, Oholibah, thus says YHWH: 'Look, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
| «لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَا أُهُولِيبَةُ، هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُهَيِّجُ عَلَيْكِ عُشَّاقَكِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُكِ، وَآتِي بِهِمْ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ: | ٢٢ |
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
| بَنِي بَابِلَ وَكُلَّ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، فَقُودَ وَشُوعَ وَقُوعَ، وَمَعَهُمْ كُلُّ بَنِي أَشُّورَ، شُبَّانُ شَهْوَةٍ، وُلَاةٌ وَشِحَنٌ كُلُّهُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَشُهَرَاءُ. كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُونَ ٱلْخَيْلَ. | ٢٣ |
24 And they shall come against you armed with chariots, and wagons, and with a huge army; they shall come against you on every side with large shields and small shields and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards.
| فَيَأْتُونَ عَلَيْكِ بِأَسْلِحَةٍ مَرْكَبَاتٍ وَعَجَلَاتٍ، وَبِجَمَاعَةِ شُعُوبٍ يُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْكِ ٱلتُّرْسَ وَٱلْمِجَنَّ وَٱلْخُوذَةَ مِنْ حَوْلِكِ، وَأُسَلِّمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُكْمَ فَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ بِأَحْكَامِهِمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
| وَأَجْعَلُ غَيْرَتِي عَلَيْكِ فَيُعَامِلُونَكِ بِٱلسَّخَطِ. يَقْطَعُونَ أَنْفَكِ وَأُذُنَيْكِ، وَبَقِيَّتُكِ تَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. يَأْخُذُونَ بَنِيكِ وَبَنَاتِكِ، وَتُؤْكَلُ بَقِيَّتُكِ بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٢٥ |
26 They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
| وَيَنْزِعُونَ عَنْكِ ثِيَابَكِ، وَيَأْخُذُونَ أَدَوَاتِ زِينَتِكِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
| وَأُبَطِّلُ رَذِيلَتَكِ عَنْكِ وَزِنَاكِ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَلَا تَرْفَعِينَ عَيْنَيْكِ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَذْكُرِينَ مِصْرَ بَعْدُ. | ٢٧ |
28 "'For thus says YHWH: Look, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُسَلِّمُكِ لِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَبْغَضْتِهِمْ، لِيَدِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَفَتْهُمْ نَفْسُكِ. | ٢٨ |
29 and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
| فَيُعَامِلُونَكِ بِٱلْبُغْضَاءِ وَيَأْخُذُونَ كُلَّ تَعَبِكِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَكِ عُرْيَانَةً وَعَارِيَةً، فَتَنْكَشِفُ عَوْرَةُ زِنَاكِ وَرَذِيلَتُكِ وَزِنَاكِ. | ٢٩ |
30 These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
| أَفْعَلُ بِكِ هَذَا لِأَنَّكِ زَنَيْتِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِأَنَّكِ تَنَجَّسْتِ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٣٠ |
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'
| فِي طَرِيقِ أُخْتِكِ سَلَكْتِ فَأَدْفَعُ كَأْسَهَا لِيَدِكِ. | ٣١ |
32 "Thus says YHWH: 'You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنَّكِ تَشْرَبِينَ كَأْسَ أُخْتِكِ ٱلْعَمِيقَةَ ٱلْكَبِيرَةَ. تَكُونِينَ لِلضَّحِكِ وَلِلِٱسْتِهْزَاءِ. تَسَعُ كَثِيرًا. | ٣٢ |
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
| تَمْتَلِئِينَ سُكْرًا وَحُزْنًا، كَأْسَ ٱلتَّحَيُّرِ وَٱلْخَرَابِ، كَأْسَ أُخْتِكِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,' says YHWH.
| فَتَشْرَبِينَهَا وَتَمْتَصِّينَهَا وَتَقْضَمِينَ شُقَفَهَا وَتَجْتَثِّينَ ثَدْيَيْكِ، لِأَنِّي تَكَلَّمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣٤ |
35 "Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.'"
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكِ نَسِيتِنِي وَطَرَحْتِنِي وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِكِ، فَتَحْمِلِي أَيْضًا رَذِيلَتَكِ وَزِنَاكِ». | ٣٥ |
36 YHWH said moreover to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَحْكُمُ عَلَى أُهُولَةَ وَأُهُولِيبَةَ؟ بَلْ أَخْبِرْهُمَا بِرَجَاسَاتِهِمَا، | ٣٦ |
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
| لِأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ زَنَتَا وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمَا دَمٌ، وَزَنَتَا بِأَصْنَامِهِمَا وَأَيْضًا أَجَازَتَا بَنِيهِمَا ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدَتَاهُمْ لِي ٱلنَّارَ أَكْلًا لَهَا. | ٣٧ |
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
| وَفَعَلَتَا أَيْضًا بِي هَذَا: نَجَّسَتَا مَقْدِسِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَدَنَّسَتَا سُبُوتِي. | ٣٨ |
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and look, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
| وَلَمَّا ذَبَحَتَا بَنِيهِمَا لِأَصْنَامِهِمَا، أَتَتَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ إِلَى مَقْدِسِي لِتُنَجِّسَاهُ. فَهُوَذَا هَكَذَا فَعَلَتَا فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِي. | ٣٩ |
40 "'Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,
| بَلْ أَرْسَلْتُمَا إِلَى رِجَالٍ آتِينَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولٌ فَهُوَذَا جَاءُوا. هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لِأَجْلِهِمِ ٱسْتَحْمَمْتِ وَكَحَّلْتِ عَيْنَيْكِ وَتَحَلَّيْتِ بِٱلْحُلِيِّ، | ٤٠ |
41 and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.'
| وَجَلَسْتِ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ فَاخِرٍ أَمَامَهُ مَائِدَةٌ مُنَضَّضَةٌ، وَوَضَعْتِ عَلَيْهَا بَخُورِي وَزَيْتِي. | ٤١ |
42 The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
| وَصَوْتُ جُمْهُورٍ مُتَرَفِّهِينَ مَعَهَا، مَعَ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ رَعَاعِ ٱلْخَلْقِ. أُتِيَ بِسَكَارَى مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا أَسْوِرَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا وَتَاجَ جَمَالٍ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمَا. | ٤٢ |
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, 'Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.'
| فَقُلْتُ عَنِ ٱلْبَالِيَةِ فِي ٱلزِّنَا: ٱلْآنَ يَزْنُونَ زِنًا مَعَهَا وَهِيَ. | ٤٣ |
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
| فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهَا كَمَا يُدْخَلُ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَانِيَةٍ. هَكَذَا دَخَلُوا عَلَى أُهُولَةَ وَعَلَى أُهُولِيبَةَ ٱلْمَرْأَتَيْنِ ٱلزَّانِيَتَيْنِ. | ٤٤ |
45 Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
| وَٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ هُمْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْهِمَا حُكْمَ زَانِيَةٍ وَحُكْمَ سَفَّاكَةِ ٱلدَّمِ، لِأَنَّهُمَا زَانِيَتَانِ وَفِي أَيْدِيهِمَا دَمٌ. | ٤٥ |
46 "For thus says YHWH: 'I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
| لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أُصْعِدُ عَلَيْهِمَا جَمَاعَةً وَأُسَلِّمُهُمَا لِلْجَوْرِ وَٱلنَّهْبِ. | ٤٦ |
47 The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
| وَتَرْجُمُهُمَا ٱلْجَمَاعَةُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَيُقَطِّعُونَهُمَا بِسُيُوفِهِمْ، وَيَذْبَحُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمَا وَبَنَاتِهِمَا، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بُيُوتَهُمَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٤٧ |
48 'Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
| فَأُبَطِّلُ ٱلرَّذِيلَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَتَأَدَّبُ جَمِيعُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَلَا يَفْعَلْنَ مِثْلَ رَذِيلَتِكُمَا. | ٤٨ |
49 They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am YHWH.'"
| وَيَرُدُّونَ عَلَيْكُمَا رَذِيلَتَكُمَا، فَتَحْمِلَانِ خَطَايَا أَصْنَامِكُمَا، وَتَعْلَمَانِ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٤٩ |
