Ezekiel 36

1 You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear the LORD’s word.

١ «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ لِجِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ: اسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.

2 The Lord GOD says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!”’

٢ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّ الْعَدُوَّ قَدْ تَهَكَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَائِلاً: هَهْ. قَدْ صَارَتِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ الْقَدِيمَةُ مِيرَاثاً لَنَا.

3 therefore prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”

٣ لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ دَمَّرُوكُمْ وَاقْتَحَمُوكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ لِتُصْبِحُوا مِيرَاثاً لِسَائِرِ الأُمَمِ، وَصِرْتُمْ حَدِيثَ كُلِّ شَفَةٍ وَمَذَمَّةَ الشَّعْبِ،

4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;

٤ لِذَلِكَ اسْمَعِي يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْيَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالآكَامِ وَالأَنْهَارِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ وَلِلْخَرَائِبِ الْمُقْفِرَةِ وَلِلْمُدُنِ الْمَهْجُورَةِ الَّتِي صَارَتْ نَهْباً لِبَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِها وَمَثَارَ اسْتِهْزَاءٍ:

5 therefore the Lord GOD says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’

٥ هَا أَنَا فِي أَثْنَاءِ احْتِدَامِ نَارِ غَيْرَتِي أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ وَعَلَى أَدُومَ قَاطِبَةً، الَّذِينَ اغْتَصَبُوا أَرْضِي مِيرَاثاً لَهُمْ، بِقُلُوبٍ مُغْتَبِطَةٍ وَنُفُوسٍ حَاقِدَةٍ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ نَهْباً وَغَنِيمَةً.

6 Therefore prophesy concerning Eretz-Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”

٦ لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَنْ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالتِّلالِ وَالأَوْدِيَةِ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا فِي غَيْرَتِي وَسَخَطِي قَدْ أَصْدَرْتُ قَضَائِي لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ تَحَمَّلْتُمْ تَعْيِيرَ الأُمَمِ،

7 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’

٧ فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ تَتَحَمَّلَ الأُمَمُ الْمُحِيطَةُ بِكُمْ عَارَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

8 “‘“But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.

٨ أَمَّا أَنْتِ يَا جِبَالَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَتُفْرِخِينَ فُرُوعَكِ، وَتَحْمِلُ أَشْجَارُكِ أَثْمَاراً لِشَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ رُجُوعِهِمْ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً.

9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.

٩ فَأَنَا لَكِ، أَعْتَنِي بِكِ فَتُحْرَثِينَ وَتُزْرَعِينَ.

10 I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

١٠ وَأَجْعَلُكِ آهِلَةً بِالنَّاسِ، كُلِّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعْمَرُ الْمُدُنُ وَتُبْنَى الْخَرَائِبُ.

11 I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

١١ وَأُكَثِّرُ عَلَيْكِ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْبَهِيمَةَ فَيَكْثُرُونَ وَيُثْمِرُونَ، فَتُصْبِحِينَ آهِلَةً كَسَالِفِ الزَّمَانِ، وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَحْسَنْتُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ جَمِيعاً أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”

١٢ وَأَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَخْطِرُونَ عَلَيْكِ، فَيَرِثُونَكِ وَتَكُونِينَ لَهُمْ مِلْكاً وَلا تُثْكِلِينَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدُ.

13 “‘The Lord GOD says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’

١٣ لأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَكِ: أَنْتِ مُفْتَرِسَةُ النَّاسِ وَمُثْكِلَةُ شُعُوبِكِ

14 therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord GOD.

١٤ لِهَذَا لَنْ تَفْتَرِسِي النَّاسَ بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ تُثْكِلِي شُعُوبَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

15 “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord GOD.’”

١٥ وَلا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِيكِ مِنْ بَعْدُ تَعْيِيرُ الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَحْمِلِينَ تَعْيِيرَ الشُّعُوبِ وَلا تَعُودِينَ تُعْثِرِينَ شُعُوبَكِ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

16 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

١٦ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

١٧ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، عِنْدَمَا أَقَامَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ نَجَّسُوهَا بِطُرُقِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ. كَانَتْ طَرِيقُهُمْ أَمَامِي نَجِسَةً كَنَجَاسَةِ الطَّامِثِ.

18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

١٨ فَسَكَبْتُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ مَا سَفَكُوهُ مِنْ دَمٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي نَجَّسُوهَا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ.

19 I scattered them amongst the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.

١٩ فَفَرَّقْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَشَتَّتُّهُمْ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ، وَدِنْتُهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى طَرِيقِهِمْ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِهِمْ.

20 When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and have left his land.’

٢٠ وَحِينَ اسْتَقَرُّوا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَهَا، دَنَّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ: هَؤُلاءِ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَقَدْ طُرِدُوا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned amongst the nations where they went.

٢١ فَغِرْتُ عَلَى اسْمِي الَّذِي نَجَّسَهُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَهَا.

22 “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned amongst the nations where you went.

٢٢ لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَيْسَ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا مُوْشِكٌ أَن أَعْمَلَ (عَظَائِمَ) يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ غَيْرَةً عَلَى اسْمِي الَّذِي دَنَّسْتُمُوهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ بَيْنَهَا.

23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned amongst the nations, which you have profaned amongst them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.

٢٣ فَأُقَدِّسُ اسْمِي الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي صَارَ بِسَبَبِكُمْ مُنَجَّساً بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ بَيْنَهَا، فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

24 “‘“For I will take you from amongst the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

٢٤ إِذْ آخُذُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ وَأُحْضِرُكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمْ،

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

٢٥ وَأَرُشُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مَاءً نَقِيًّا فَتَطْهُرُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ،

26 I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

٢٦ وَأَهَبُكُمْ قَلْباً جَدِيداً، وَأَضَعُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحاً جَدِيدَةً، وَأَنْتَزِعُ مِنْ لَحْمِكُمْ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ وَأُعْطِيكُمْ عِوَضاً عَنْهُ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ.

27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

٢٧ وَأَضَعُ رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ فَأَجْعَلُكُمْ تُمَارِسُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَتُطِيعُونَ أَحْكَامِي عَامِلِينَ بِها،

28 You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

٢٨ وَتَسْكُنُونَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِكُمْ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً،

29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

٢٩ وَأُخَلِّصُكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نَجَاسَتِكُمْ وَآمُرُ الْحِنْطَةَ أَنْ تَتَكَاثَرَ، وَلا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَجَاعَةَ.

30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine amongst the nations.

٣٠ وَأُكَثِّرُ أَثْمَارَ الأَشْجَارِ وَمَحَاصِيلَ الْحَقْلِ لِئَلّا تَتَعَرَّضُوا لِعَارِ الْجُوعِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

31 “‘“Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

٣١ فَتَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمُ الأَثِيمَةَ وَتَصَرُّفَاتِكُمُ الطَّالِحَةَ، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ لِمَا ارْتَكَبْتُمْ مِنْ آثَامٍ وَرَجَاسَاتٍ.

32 I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord GOD. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.”

٣٢ لِهَذَا اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ أَنَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَاخْجَلُوا وَاخْزَوْا مِنْ طُرُقِكُمْ يَا شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

33 “‘The Lord GOD says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

٣٣ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أُطَهِّرُكُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ آثَامِكُمْ أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي الْمُدُنِ فَتُبْنَى الْخَرَائِبُ،

34 The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.

٣٤ وَتُفْلَحُ الأَرْضُ الْجَرْدَاءُ عِوَضَ أَنْ تَبْقَى أَرْضاً خَرِبَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ عَابِرٍ.

35 They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’

٣٥ فَيَقُولُونَ: قَدْ صَارَتْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ الْجَرْدَاءُ كَجَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَأَصْبَحَتِ الْمُدُنُ الْمَهْجُورَةُ الْمُتَهَدِّمَةُ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً آهِلَةً.

36 Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, the LORD, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

٣٦ فَتُدْرِكُ الأُمَمُ الَّتِي مَا بَرِحَتْ حَوْلَكُمْ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ، قَدْ بَنَيْتُ مَا تَهَدَّمَ، وَغَرَسْتُ مَا أَقْفَرَ أَنَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ نَطَقْتُ وَأُنْجِزُ مَا وَعَدْتُ بِهِ.

37 “‘The Lord GOD says: “For this, moreover, I will be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

٣٧ عِنْدَئِذٍ أَجْعَلُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ هَذَا مِنِّي، فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لِمَطْلَبِهِمْ: أَنْ أُكَثِّرَهُمْ كَقَطِيعِ غَنَمٍ.

38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”

٣٨ كَغَنَمِ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، كَغَنَمِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ أَعْيَادِهَا، فَتَكْتَظُّ الْمُدُنُ الْخَرِبَةُ بِجَمَاعَاتِ النَّاسِ الْغَفِيرَةِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
