Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

٢ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكَذَبَةِ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

٣ وَيْلٌ لِلأَنْبِياءِ الْحَمْقَى الضَّالِّينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً.

4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

٤ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هُمْ كَالثَّعَالِبِ فِي الْخَرَائِبِ.

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

٥ لَمْ تَبْرُزُوا إِلَى الثُّغْرَاتِ، وَلَمْ تُشَيِّدُوا جِدَاراً حَوْلَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَصْمُدُوا فِي الْقِتَالِ فِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ،

6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.

٦ إِنَّمَا رُؤْيَاهُمْ بَاطِلَةٌ، وَعِرَافَتُهُمْ كَاذِبَةٌ. يَقُولُونَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَالرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَطْمَعُونَ فِي تَحْقِيقِ كَلِمَتِهِمْ.

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I have not spoken?

٧ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَنْطِقُوا بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.

٨ لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بَاطِلاً وَادَّعَيْتُمْ رُؤْيَا كَاذِبَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

٩ فَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ ذَوِي الرُّؤْيَا الْبَاطِلَةِ وَالْعِرَافَةِ الْكَاذِبَةِ، فَلا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقَامٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِي، وَلا تُدَوَّنُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:

١٠ لأَنَّهُمْ حَقّاً أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلامٌ مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ سَلامٌ، فَكَانَ شَعْبِي يَبْنِي حَائِطاً وَهُمْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ.

11 Say to them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].

١١ قُلْ لِلطَّالِينَ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ: إِنَّ الْحَائِطَ يَتَدَاعَى، إِذْ يَنْهَمِرُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ. وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ الْبَرَدِ تَسَاقَطْنَ، وَلْتَعْصِفْ بِهِ رِيحٌ جَائِحَةٌ.

12 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?

١٢ فَلا يَلْبَثُ السُّورُ أَنْ يَنْهَارَ أَفَلا تَسْأَلُونَ آنَئِذٍ: أَيْنَ الطِّينُ الَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].

١٣ لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رِيحاً عَاتِيَةً تَخْتَرِقُ السُّورَ بِفِعْلِ حَنَقِي، وَمَطَراً جَارِفاً يَنْهَمِرُ فِي خِضَمِّ غَضَبِي، وَحِجَارَةَ بَرَدٍ تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ سَخَطِي لِكَيْ تُهْلِكَ،

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

١٤ فَأَهْدِمُ السُّورَ الَّذِي طَلَيْتُمُوهُ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ وَأُسَوِّيهِ بِالأَرْضِ فَيَتَعَرَّى أَسَاسُهُ وَتَتَدَاعَى الْمَدِينَةُ وَتَفْنَوْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي وَسَطِهَا فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;

١٥ فَأَنْفُثُ غَضَبِي بِالسُّورِ وَبِمَنْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَدْ تَلاشَى السُّورُ وَالَّذِينَ يَطْلُونَهُ.

16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

١٦ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَدْعِيَاءُ، الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلامٍ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا سَلامَ هُنَاكَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

١٧ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَالْتَفِتْ نَحْوَ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ الْمُتَنَبِّئَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?

١٨ وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْخَائِطَاتِ الْعَصَائِبَ السِّحْرِيَّةَ لِكُلِّ مَعَاصِمِ الأَيْدِي وَالأَنْقَابَ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لاصْطِيَادِ النُّفُوسِ. أَنْتُنَّ تَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوسَكُنَّ

19 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?

١٩ فَتُدَنِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِقَاءَ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ وَفُتَاتِ خُبْزٍ حَتَّى تُمِتْنَ نُفُوساً مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَلِكَيْ تَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوساً أُخْرَى لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَنْ تَحْيَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي السَّامِعِ لِلْكَذِبِ.

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.

٢٠ لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَنَا ضِدُّ عَصَائِبِكُنَّ السِّحْرِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِها النُّفُوسَ كَفِرَاخِ الطَّيْرِ، سَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُحَرِّرُ النُّفُوسَ الَّتِي اصْطَدْتُمُوهَا فَتَطِيرُ.

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

٢١ وَأُمَزِّقُ أَنْقَابَكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلا يَظَلُّونَ بَعْدُ فِي قَبْضَتِكُنَّ فَرِيسَةً، فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

٢٢ لأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ الصِّدِّيقِ بَأَكَاذِيبِكُنَّ، مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ عَزَائِمَ الشِّرِّيرِ لِئَلّا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَيَحْيَا.

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

٢٣ لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَلا تُمَارِسْنَ الْعِرَافَةَ بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
