Ezekiel 5

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: then take to thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].

١ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَيْفاً حَادّاً اسْتَخْدِمْهُ كَمُوسَى الْحَلّاقِ لِتَحْلِقَ رَأْسَكَ وَلِحْيَتَكَ، ثُمَّ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ مِيزَاناً وَاقْسِمِ الشَّعْرَ إِلَى ثَلاثَةِ أَثْلاثٍ،

2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

٢ وَاحْرِقْ بِالنَّارِ ثُلْثاً فِي وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا اكْتَمَلَتْ أَيَّامُ الْحِصَارِ، ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلْ ثُلْثاً آخَرَ وَاضْرِبْهُ بِالسَّيْفِ حَوْلَ خَرِيطَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمَرْسُومَةِ. أَمَّا الثُّلْثُ الأَخِيرُ فَذَرِّهِ مَعَ الرِّيحِ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَلُّ سَيْفاً خَلْفَهُ.

3 Thou shalt also take of them a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

٣ وَلَكِنِ احْتَفِظْ بِكَمِّيَّةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ مِنْهُ وَصُرَّهَا فِي أَطْرَافِ ثَوْبِكَ.

4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: from which a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel.

٤ كَذَلِكَ خُذْ بَعْضاً مِنَ الشَّعْرِ وَاطْرَحْهُ فِي النَّارِ لِيَحْتَرِقَ، فَتَنْدَلِعَ مِنْهُ نَارٌ عَلَى كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] around her.

٥ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ الَّتِي أَقَمْتُهَا فِي وَسَطِ الشُّعُوبِ تُحِيطُ بِها الأَرَاضِي،

6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] around her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

٦ فَخَالَفَتْ أَحْكَامِي بِأَشَرِّ مِمَّا خَالَفَتْهَا الأُمَمُ وَسُكَّانُ الأَرَاضِي الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها، إِذْ تَنَكَّرُوا لأَحْكَامِي، وَفَرَائِضِي لَمْ يُمَارِسُوهَا.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] around you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] around you:

٧ لِذَلِكَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنَّكُمْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ، وَلَمْ تُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِي، وَلا بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ.

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

٨ هَا أَنَا أَيْضاً أنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَأُجْرِي عَلَيْكِ قَضَاءً عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ،

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and the like to which I will not do any more, because of all thy abominations.

٩ فَأَصْنَعُ بِكِ مَا لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَمَا لَنْ أَصْنَعَ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، عِقَاباً لَكِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاسِكِ.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

١٠ إِذْ يَأْكُلُ الآبَاءُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ، وَالأَبْنَاءُ آبَاءَهُمْ، لأَنَّنِي أُجْرِي فِيكِ قَضَاءً وَأُذَرِّي بَقِيَّتَكِ كُلَّهَا مَعَ كُلِّ رِيحٍ.

11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thy abominations, therefore I will also diminish [thee]; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

١١ لِهَذَا، حَيٌّ أَنَا يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّكِ قَدْ دَنَّسْتِ مَقْدِسِي بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِكِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ، وَبِجَمِيعِ رَجَاسَاتِكِ، فَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَسْتَأْصِلُ، وَلا تَتَرَأَّفُ عَلَيْكِ عَيْنِي وَلا أَعْفُو.

12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword around thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

١٢ ثُلْثُ سُكَّانِكِ يَمُوتُونَ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَالْجُوعِ فِي وَسَطِكِ، وَثُلْثٌ ثَانٍ يُقْتَلُ حَوْلَكِ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَثُلْثٌ أَخِيرٌ أُشَتِّتُهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُ بِسَيْفٍ مَسْلُولٍ.

13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

١٣ وَهَكَذَا أُنَفِّسُ عَنْ غَضَبِي وَيَخْمِدُ سَخَطِي إِذْ أَكُونُ قَدِ انْتَقَمْتُ. وَحِينَ يَسْتَكِينُ حَنَقِي عَلَيْهِمْ يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي فِي احْتِدَامِ غَيْرَتِي.

14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] around thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

١٤ وَأَجْعَلُكِ خَرَاباً وَعَاراً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكِ وَأَمَامَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَجْتَازُ بِكِ،

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations that [are] around thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it].

١٥ فَتَكُونِينَ عَاراً وَلَعْنَةً وَعِبْرَةً وَمَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ لِلأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكِ حِينَ أُنَفِّذُ فِيكِ قَضَائِي بِغَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ وَتَقْرِيعَاتٍ حَانِقَةٍ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

١٦ وَعِنْدَمَا أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ سِهَامَ الْجُوعِ الْمُمِيتَةَ الَّتِي أُعِدَّتْ لِلتَّدْمِيرِ، السِّهَامَ الَّتِي أَرْسَلْتُهَا لِخَرَابِكُمْ، عِنْدَئِذٍ أَزِيدُ مِنَ الْجُوعِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأُبِيدُ مَؤُونَةَ خُبْزِكُمْ،

17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].

١٧ وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَجَاعَةَ وَالْوُحُوشَ الضَّارِيَةَ، فَتُثْكِلُكُمْ وَيَعُمُّكُمُ الْوَبَاءُ وَسَفْكُ الدِّمَاءِ، وَأَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّيْفَ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ».
