Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قِفْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأُخَاطِبَكَ». | ١ |
2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.
| وَحَالَمَا تَكَلَّمَ دَخَلَ فِيَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَنْهَضَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يُخَاطِبُنِي: | ٢ |
3 He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.
| «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا بَاعِثُكَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتَمَرِّدَةٍ عَصَتْنِي، إِذْ تَعَدَّوْا هُمْ وَآبَاؤُهُمْ عَلَيَّ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. | ٣ |
4 The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’
| أَنَا بَاعِثُكَ إِلَى الأَبْنَاءِ الْمُتَصَلِّبِينَ الْقُسَاةِ، فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. | ٤ |
5 [when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.
| فَإِنْ سَمِعُوا، أَوْ أَبَوْا لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ عَاصٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ عَلَى الأَقَلِّ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا بَيْنَهُمْ. | ٥ |
6 And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَلا تَرْهَبْهُمْ وَلا تَخْشَ كَلامَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَكَ قَرِيساً وَشَوْكاً. وَأَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ عَقَارِبَ، فَلا تَرْهَبْ كَلامَهُمْ، وَلا تَفْزَعْ مِنْ مَحْضَرِهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ. | ٦ |
7 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
| إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُبَلِّغَهُمْ كَلامِي سَوَاءٌ سَمِعُوا أَوْ أَبَوْا، لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ. | ٧ |
8 But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”
| وَالآنَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَصْغِ لِمَا أُخَاطِبُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَكُنْ مُتَمَرِّداً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ. افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَكُلْ مَا أُطْعِمُكَ». | ٨ |
9 Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
| فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِيَدٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَفِيهَا دَرْجُ كِتَابٍ. | ٩ |
10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
| وَعِنْدَمَا نَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي رَأَيْتُ الْكِتَابَةَ تَمْلَؤُهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَالْخَارِجِ وَقَدْ دُوِّنَتْ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَمَنَاحَاتٌ وَوَيْلاتٌ. | ١٠ |
