Ezekiel 16
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
| بار دیگر خداوند با من سخن گفت و فرمود: «ای پسر انسان، اورشلیم را از گناهان و اعمال نفرت‌انگیزش آگاه ساز، |
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
| و به او از جانب من چنین بگو: «خداوند یهوه چنین می‌گوید: تو در سرزمین کنعان چشم به جهان گشودی. پدرت اَموری بود و مادرت، حیتی! |
4 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
| وقتی به دنیا آمدی، کسی اهمیتی به تو نداد؛ نه نافت را بریدند، نه تو را شستند و نه در قنداقه پیچیدند. |
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
| هیچ‌کس کوچکترین توجهی به تو نداشت و دلش به حال تو نمی‌سوخت و کسی حاضر نبود از تو نگهداری کند. روزی که متولد شدی، چون از تو کراهت داشتند، تو را در بیابان انداختند و همان جا رهایت کردند. |
6 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
| «همان وقت از کنار تو عبور کردم و دیدم که در خونت می‌غلتی. پس به تو گفتم: زنده بمان! تو را همچون گیاه صحرا پرورش دادم، و تو رشد کردی و دوشیزه‌ای زیبا شدی؛ سینه‌هایت برآمد و موهایت بلند شد، اما عریان بودی. |
7 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
| «مدتی بعد که از کنارت گذشتم به تو نگاه کردم؛ این بار آمادهٔ ازدواج بودی، پس ردایم را بر تو انداختم، عریانی‌ات را پوشاندم و سوگند یاد کرده، با تو پیمان ازدواج بستم و تو از آن من شدی. |
9 [And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
| سپس شستشویت دادم تا از خونت پاک شوی و بر بدنت روغن مالیدم. |
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
| لباسهای زیبای قلابدوزی شده، از جنس کتان لطیف و ابریشم به تو دادم و کفش از پوست خز به پایت کردم. |
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
| تو را با زیورآلات آراستم، النگوها به دستت کردم و گردنبند به گردنت انداختم، |
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
| حلقه در بینی‌ات و گوشواره در گوشهایت و تاجی زیبا بر سرت گذاشتم. |
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
| به این ترتیب، با طلا و نقره آراسته و زیبا شدی. لباسهای زیبای قلابدوزی شده، از کتان لطیف و ابریشم پوشیدی و بهترین خوراکها را خوردی. زیبایی تو خیره کننده بود و همچون ملکه شدی. |
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
| زیبایی‌ات به سبب کمالاتی که من به تو بخشیده بودم، کامل گردید و زبانزد همهٔ قومها شد. |
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
| «اما تو فکر کردی که می‌توانی جدا از من نیز کمال خود را حفظ کنی. بنابراین از زیبایی و آوازه‌ات سرمست شدی و در ورطه زناکاری افتادی و همچون یک فاحشه، خود را در اختیار هر رهگذری گذاشتی. |
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
| آن رختهای زیبایی را که به تو داده بودم، برای ساختن بتخانه‌ها و تزیین بستر فاحشگی‌ات به کار بردی. چنین چیزی هرگز رخ نداده و نخواهد داد. |
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
| آن جواهرات و طلا و نقره‌ای را که به تو داده بودم، گرفتی و با آنها مجسمه مردان را ساختی و آنها را پرستش نموده، به من خیانت کردی. |
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
| «لباسهای زیبای قلابدوزی شده‌ای را که به تو بخشیده بودم، به بتهایت پوشاندی! روغن و بخور مرا برای پرستش بتها به کار بردی! |
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
| آرد و روغن و عسل مرغوبی را که برای خوراک به تو داده بودم، برای آنها نذر کردی تا از تو راضی باشند! |
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
| پسران و دخترانی را که برای من زاییده بودی، گرفتی و برای خدایانت قربانی کردی! آیا زناکاری کافی نبود که به چنین جنایتی هم دست زدی؟ |
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
| تو فرزندان مرا کشتی و برای بتها قربانی کردی و سوزاندی و |
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
| در تمام این سالهای زناکاری و گناه، یک بار هم دوران گذشته را به یاد نیاوردی، دورانی که برهنه بودی و در خونت می‌غلتیدی. |
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
| «وای بر تو، وای بر تو که بعد از این همه شرارت، |
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
| در هر کوی و برزنی عمارتها برای بت‌پرستی و زناکاری‌ات بنا کردی، و زیبایی خود را بی‌ارزش و خوار کردی و در اختیار هر رهگذری قرار دادی و روز‌به‌روز فاسدتر شدی. |
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
| با مصر، این سرزمین فاسد پیمان اتحاد بستی و او را بر جمع فاسقانت افزودی و خشم مرا شعله‌ور ساختی. |
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
| «از این جهت دست خود را دراز کرده‌ام تا تو را مجازات نمایم و مواهب خود را از تو باز پس گیرم. تو را در جنگ فلسطینی‌ها که تشنه خونت هستند، رها کرده‌ام. حتی آنها نیز از رفتار شرم‌آورت نفرت دارند. |
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
| «با آشوری‌ها نیز زنا کردی، زیرا با ایشان هم‌پیمان شدی و بتهایشان را پرستیدی. ولی با همهٔ اینها، سیر نشدی! |
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
| پس به بتهای بابِل، سرزمین بازرگانان، روی آوردی، ولی به این هم قانع نشدی. |
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
| «چقدر تو سست اراده هستی! کارهای تو، کارهای یک روسپی بی‌حیاست! |
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
| بر سر هر راه، بتخانه و بر سر هر کوچه، فاحشه‌خانه ساختی! ولی تو مانند فاحشه‌های دیگر، به دنبال پول نیستی. |
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
| تو همچون همسری خیانتکار هستی که شوهر خود را رها می‌کند و به آغوش مردان دیگر پناه می‌برد. |
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
| فاحشه‌ها برای کارشان اجرت می‌گیرند، اما تو به فاسقان خود هدیه و رشوه می‌دهی تا با تو همبستر شوند. |
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
| پس تو برعکس فاحشه‌های دیگر عمل می‌کنی؛ بجای اینکه از فاسقانت پول بگیری، تو به آنها پول می‌دهی! |
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
| «حال، ای فاحشه، کلام خداوند را بشنو: |
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
| خداوند یهوه چنین می‌فرماید: به سبب فساد و زناکاری با فاسقانت، یعنی پرستش و عبادت بتها، و نیز برای آنکه فرزندانت را برای خدایانت قربانی کردی، |
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
| اینک من فاسقان یعنی همدستانت را، چه آنانی را که دوست داشتنی و چه آنانی را که دوست نداشتنی، همه را گرد خواهم آورد و در مقابل ایشان تو را عریان خواهم ساخت. |
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
| تو را برای جنایت‌ها و زناکاریهایت، با خشم و غضب، مجازات و هلاک خواهم نمود. |
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
| تو را به دست این قومها، یعنی فاسقانت خواهم سپرد. آنان عشرتکده‌ها و بتخانه‌هایت را با خاک یکسان کرده، تمام جواهرات زیبایت را غارت خواهند نمود و برهنه و بینوا رهایت خواهند ساخت. |
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
| آنها تو را سنگسار کرده، با شمشیر پاره‌پاره خواهند نمود. |
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
| خانه‌هایت را خواهند سوزاند و در مقابل زنان دیگر مجازاتت خواهند کرد. من تو را از زناکاری با بتها باز خواهم داشت و دیگر نخواهم گذاشت که به فاسقانت یعنی به همدستانت اجرت و رشوه دهی. |
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
| آنگاه آتش خشم و غیرت من فرو خواهد نشست و آرام خواهد گرفت و دیگر غضبناک نخواهم بود. |
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
| تو دوران جوانی خود را به فراموشی سپردی و با کارهایت مرا رنجانیدی و زناکاریهایت را هم بر آنها افزودی. پس من هم تو را به سزای اعمالت می‌رسانم. |
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
| «ای اورشلیم، مردم درباره تو خواهند گفت که چنان مادری، چنین دختری هم باید داشته باشد. |
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
| تو براستی شبیه مادرت هستی که از شوهر و فرزندانش نفرت می‌داشت؛ تو درست شبیه خواهرانت هستی که از شوهران و فرزندانشان بیزار بودند. براستی که مادرت حیتی بود و پدرت اَموری! |
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
| «خواهر بزرگ تو سامره است که با دخترانش یعنی آبادی‌های اطرافش، در شمال تو زندگی می‌کنند. خواهر کوچکت سدوم است که با دخترانش در جنوب تو ساکن هستند. |
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
| تو نه فقط راهها و گناهان ایشان را تقلید کردی، بلکه در مدتی کوتاه، از آنان جلو افتادی و از ایشان فاسدتر شدی. |
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
| به ذات مقدّس خود سوگند که سدوم و آبادی‌های اطرافش، به اندازه تو و آبادی‌هایت، فاسد و شریر نبودند! |
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
| گناه خواهرت سدوم و دخترانش این بود که از فراوانی نعمت و آسایش و امنیت مغرور شده بودند و هیچ به فکر فقرا و مستمندان نبودند. |
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
| آنها با کمال گستاخی در حضور من مرتکب اعمال زشت و بت‌پرستی می‌شدند؛ بنابراین من نیز ایشان را از میان بردم. |
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
| «سامره حتی نصف گناهان تو را هم مرتکب نشد. کارهای زشت و بت‌پرستی‌های تو، به مراتب بیشتر از خواهرانت بوده است. تو روی آنها را سفید کردی! |
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
| پس تعجب نکن اگر آنها کمتر از تو مجازات شوند، زیرا گناهان تو به قدری هولناک است که در برابر تو، خواهرانت پاک و بی‌گناه به نظر می‌رسند! |
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
| «ولی روزی خواهد رسید که سعادت را به سدوم و سامره و مردم یهودا باز خواهم گرداند. |
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
| شرمساری و مجازات سنگین تو باعث تسلی آنها خواهد شد، چون از مجازات آنها شدیدتر خواهد بود. |
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
| آری، خواهرانت سدوم و سامره و دخترانشان یعنی آبادی‌های اطرافشان، و خود تو نیز با دخترانت بار دیگر به حالت نخستین خود برخواهید گشت. |
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
| در آن روزها با تکبر و غرور سدوم را مسخره می‌کردی، |
57 before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
| اما حال که شرارتت برای همه عیان و آشکار گشته، خودت نیز مورد تمسخر و ملامت ادوم و تمام همسایگانش و همه فلسطینی‌ها قرار گرفته‌ای. |
58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
| خداوند می‌فرماید: به سزای هرزگی و اعمال زشت خود خواهی رسید. |
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
| «از آنجا که سوگند و وفاداری‌ات را فراموش کردی و عهد مرا شکستی، من نیز تو را مجازات خواهم نمود. |
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
| اما من عهدی را که در دوران جوانی‌ات با تو بستم، به یاد خواهم آورد و این بار عهدی جاودان با تو خواهم بست، |
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
| و تو با شرمساری، اعمال زشتت را به یاد خواهی آورد؛ و هنگامی که خواهران بزرگ و کوچکت یعنی سامره و سدوم را باز آورم و ایشان را دختران تو بگردانم تا بر ایشان حکمرانی کنی، از لطف و بزرگواری من خجل و شرمگین خواهی شد، چون خودت می‌دانی که شایسته این لطف نبوده‌ای، زیرا عهد مرا شکسته‌ای. |
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
| من بار دیگر عهد خود را با تو برقرار خواهم ساخت تا بدانی که من یهوه هستم. |
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
| من گناهانت را خواهم آمرزید و تو با به یاد آوردن آنها، از خجالت و شرمساری، دیگر دهان خود را نیز نخواهی گشود.» خداوند یهوه این را می‌گوید. |
