Ezekiel 8

1 It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of YHWH fell there on me.

١ وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِي، وَمَشَايِخُ يَهُوذَا جَالِسُونَ أَمَامِي، أَنَّ يَدَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ.

2 Then I saw, and look, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.

٢ فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا شِبْهٌ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ، مِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى تَحْتُ نَارٌ، وَمِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ كَمَنْظَرِ لَمَعَانٍ كَشِبْهِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱللّاَمِعِ.

3 He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

٣ وَمَدَّ شِبْهَ يَدٍ وَأَخَذَنِي بِنَاصِيَةِ رَأْسِي، وَرَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، حَيْثُ مَجْلِسُ تِمْثَالِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ، ٱلْمُهَيِّجِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ.

4 Look, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.

٤ وَإِذَا مَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَاكَ مِثْلُ ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا فِي ٱلْبُقْعَةِ.

5 Then he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north." So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

٥ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ». فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا مِنْ شِمَالِيِّ بَابِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تِمْثَالُ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ هَذَا فِي ٱلْمَدْخَلِ.

6 He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations."

٦ وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ ٱلَّتِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَامِلُهَا هُنَا لِإِبْعَادِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي. وَبَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ».

7 He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, look, a hole in the wall.

٧ ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِي إِلَى بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا ثَقْبٌ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ.

8 Then he said to me, "Son of man, dig now in the wall": and when I had dug in the wall, look, a door.

٨ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱنْقُبْ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ». فَنَقَبْتُ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ.

9 He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here."

٩ وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱدْخُلْ وَٱنْظُرِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةَ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا هُنَا».

10 So I went in and saw; and see, every form of crawling creatures, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.

١٠ فَدَخَلْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا كُلُّ شَكْلِ دَبَّابَاتٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ نَجِسٍ، وَكُلُّ أَصْنَامٍ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ عَلَى دَائِرِهِ.

11 There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.

١١ وَوَاقِفٌ قُدَّامَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَازَنْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَعِطْرُ عَنَانِ ٱلْبَخُورِ صَاعِدٌ.

12 Then he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, 'YHWH doesn't see us. YHWH has forsaken the land.'"

١٢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَخَادِعِ تَصَاوِيرِهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرَانَا! ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَرَكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ!».

13 He said also to me, "You shall again see yet other great abominations which they do."

١٣ وَقَالَ لِي: «بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا».

14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of YHWH's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.

١٤ فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا هُنَاكَ نِسْوَةٌ جَالِسَاتٌ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى تَمُّوزَ.

15 Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet greater abominations than these."

١٥ فَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ».

16 He brought me into the inner court of YHWH's house; and see, at the door of YHWH's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward YHWH's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.

١٦ فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ بَابِ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ، نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا ظُهُورُهُمْ نَحْوَ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَهُمْ سَاجِدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

17 Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and look, they put the branch to their nose.

١٧ وَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَقَلِيلٌ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَمَلُ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا هُنَا؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ظُلْمًا وَيَعُودُونَ لِإِغَاظَتِي، وَهَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ٱلْغُصْنَ إِلَى أَنْفِهِمْ.

18 therefore I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."

١٨ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُعَامِلُ بِٱلْغَضَبِ، لَا تُشْفُقُ عَيْنِي وَلَا أَعْفُو. وَإِنْ صَرَخُوا فِي أُذُنَيَّ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ لَا أَسْمَعُهُمْ».
