Ezekiel 22

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

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yes, thou shalt show her all her abominations.

٢ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَتَدِينُ الْمَدِينَةَ السَّافِكَةَ الدِّمَاءِ؟ إِذاً عَرِّفْهَا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهَا،

3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.

٣ وَقُلْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَيَّتُهَا الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي تَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ فِي وَسَطِهَا لِتَسْتَجْلِبَ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، الَّتِي تَصْنَعُ لِنَفْسِهَا أَصْنَاماً تَتَنَجَّسُ بِها.

4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself by thy idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] to thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

٤ قَدْ أَثِمْتِ بِمَا سَفَكْتِ مِنْ دِمَاءٍ، وَتَنَجَّسْتِ بِمَا عَمِلْتِ مِنْ أَصْنَامِكِ. قَدْ قَرَّبْتِ يَوْمَ دَيْنُونَتِكِ، وَبَلَغْتِ مُنْتَهَى أَيَّامِكِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُكِ عَاراً عِنْدَ الأُمَمِ وَمَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الْبُلْدَانِ.

5 [Those that are] near, and [those that are] far from thee, shall mock thee, [who art] infamous [and] much troubled.

٥ تَسْخَرُ مِنْكِ الْبُلْدَانُ الْقَرِيبَةُ وَالنَّائِيَةُ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ، أَنْتِ يَا نَجِسَةُ، يَا كَثِيرَةَ الشَّغَبِ.

6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

٦ هُوَذَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ كَانُوا فِيكِ انْهَمَكَ فِي سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ عَلَى قَدْرِ طَاقَتِهِ.

7 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they oppressed the fatherless and the widow.

٧ فِيكِ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ وَجَارُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ عَلَى الْغَرِيبِ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ،

8 Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.

٨ احْتَقَرْتِ مُقَدَّسَاتِي وَنَجَّسْتِ أَيَّامَ سُبُوتِي.

9 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

٩ أَقَامَ فِيكِ وُشَاةٌ عَمِلُوا عَلَى سَفْكِ الدَّمِ، وَأَكَلُوا أَمَامَ الأَصْنَامِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ، وَارْتَكَبُوا فِي وَسَطِكِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ.

10 In thee have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

١٠ فِيكِ فَضَحَ الإِنْسَانُ عُرْيَ أَبِيهِ، وَفِيكِ أَذَلُّوا مَنْ بَرِحَتْ مُتَنَجِّسَةً بِطَمْثِهَا.

11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

١١ فِيكِ إِنْسَانٌ زَنَى مَعَ امْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، وَاقْتَرَفَ إِنْسَانٌ الرَّذِيلَةَ مَعَ كَنَّتِهِ، وَفِيكِ ضَاجَعَ إِنْسَانٌ أُخْتَهُ ابْنَةَ أَبِيهِ.

12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained from thy neighbors by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

١٢ فِيكِ أَخَذُوا الرِّشْوَةَ لِقَاءَ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ. أَخَذْتِ الرِّبَا وَمَالَ الْحَرَامِ، وَسَلَبْتِ أَقْرِبَاءَكِ ظُلْماً وَنَسِيتِنِي، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

13 Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.

١٣ هَا أَنَا قَدْ صَفَّقْتُ بِكَفِّي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا حَصَلْتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِبْحٍ حَرَامٍ، وَمَا سُفِكَ مِنْ دَمٍ فِي وَسَطِكِ.

14 Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and will do [it].

١٤ فَهَلْ يَصْمُدُ قَلْبُكِ أَوْ تَحْتَفِظُ يَدَاكِ بِقُوَّتِهِمَا فِي الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي فِيهَا أَتَعَامَلُ مَعَكِ؟ أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَأُتَمِّمُ مَا أَنْطِقُ بِهِ.

15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

١٥ سَأُشَتِّتُكِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَأُبَعْثِرُكِ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، وَأُزِيلُ نَجَاسَتَكِ مِنْكِ.

16 And thou shalt take thy inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

١٦ وَتَتَدَنَّسِينَ بِنَفْسِكِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ، وَتُدْرِكِينَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

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

١٧ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

18 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] the dross of silver.

١٨ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ أَصْبَحَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي نُفَايَةً. كُلُّهُمْ مِثْلُ النُّحَاسِ وَالْقَصْدِيرِ وَالْحَدِيدِ وَالرَّصَاصِ فِي كُورٍ. صَارُوا حُثَالَةَ فِضَّةٍ.

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

١٩ لأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ قَدْ صِرْتُمْ نُفَايَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي وَسَطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

20 [As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it]; so will I gather [you] in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and melt you.

٢٠ كَمَا تُجْمَعُ الْفِضَّةُ وَالنُّحَاسُ وَالْحَدِيدُ وَالرَّصَاصُ وَالْقَصْدِيرُ فِي الْكُورِ، لِتُنْفَخَ عَلَيْهَا نَارٌ لِتُسْبَكَ. كَذَلِكَ أَجْمَعُكُمْ فِي غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ وَأَسْبِكُكُمْ.

21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.

٢١ أَجْمَعُكُمْ وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي نَارِ غَضَبِي فَتُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا

22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

٢٢ كَمَا تُسْبَكُ الْفِضَّةُ فِي بَوتَقَةِ النَّارِ، هَكَذَا تُسْبَكُونَ فِيهَا، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ سَكَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكُمْ».

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

٢٣ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

24 Son of man, say to her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

٢٤ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ لَهَا: أَنْتِ أَرْضٌ لَمْ تَتَطَهَّرِي وَلَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا فِي يَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ.

25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst of her.

٢٥ تَوَاطَأَ أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا الْكَذَبَةُ فِيهَا مِثْلَ أَسَدٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ يُمَزِّقُ الْفَرِيسَةَ. الْتَهَمُوا نُفُوساً، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى نَفَائِسِ النَّاسِ وَكُنُوزِهِمْ، وَكَثَّرُوا أَرَامِلَهَا فِيهَا.

26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shown [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

٢٦ خَالَفَ كَهَنَتُهَا شَرِيعَتِي وَنَجَّسُوا مَقَادِسِي. لَمْ يُمَيِّزُوا بَيْنَ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَالرِّجْسِ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا الْفَرْقَ بَيْنَ الطَّاهِرِ وَالنَّجِسِ، وَحَجَبُوا عُيُونَهُمْ عَنْ أَيَّامِ سُبُوتِي فَصِرْتُ مُدَنَّساً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ.

27 Her princes in the midst of her [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

٢٧ رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِيهَا كَذِئَابٍ خَاطِفَةٍ تُمَزِّقُ فَرَائِسَهَا إِذْ يَسْفِكُونَ دِمَاءَ النَّاسِ فِي سَبِيلِ الرِّبْحِ الْحَرَامِ.

28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

٢٨ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُهَا قَدْ طَلَوْا لَهُمْ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ، إِذْ يَرَوْنَ لَهُمْ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَيَعْرُفُونَ لَهُمْ عِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، مَعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يُعْلِنْ شَيْئاً.

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have oppressed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

٢٩ أَفْرَطُوا فِي ظُلْمِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ وَاغْتَصَبُوا سَالِبِينَ، وَاضْطَهَدُوا الْفَقِيرَ وَالْمِسْكِينَ، وَظَلَمُوا الْغَرِيبَ جَوْراً.

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

٣٠ فَالْتَمَسْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ رَجُلاً وَاحِداً يَبْنِي جِدَاراً وَيَقِفُ فِي الثُّغْرَةِ أَمَامِي مُدَافِعاً عَنِ الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى لَا أَخْرِبَهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

٣١ فَصَبَبْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ، الْتَهَمْتُهُمْ بِنَارِ غَضَبِي، جَازَيْتُهُمْ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
