حِزِقیال 3
| او همچنین فرمود: «ای پسر انسان، آنچه را که به تو می‌دهم، بخور. این طومار را بخور! بعد برو و پیغام آن را به قوم اسرائیل برسان.» | 1 |
And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
| پس دهانم را باز کردم و او طومار را در دهانم گذاشت تا بخورم. | 2 |
And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
| سپس گفت: «همه را بخور و شکمت را از آن پر کن!» من نیز آن را خوردم؛ طعمش مثل عسل شیرین بود. | 3 |
And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
| آنگاه گفت: «ای پسر انسان، نزد خاندان اسرائیل برو و سخنان مرا به ایشان بگو. | 4 |
And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
| تو را به سرزمینی دور و بیگانه نمی‌فرستم که نتوانی زبانشان را بفهمی. | 5 |
For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
| تو نزد قبایلی که زبانهای عجیب و غریب و مشکل دارند، نمی‌روی؛ هر چند اگر نزد آنها می‌رفتی، به تو گوش می‌دادند. | 6 |
and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
| تو را نزد قوم اسرائیل می‌فرستم، ولی ایشان به سخنان تو توجهی نخواهند کرد، چون از من روگردان هستند. ایشان همگی سنگدل و سرسخت می‌باشند. | 7 |
Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
| بنابراین، اینک تو را نیز مانند آنها سرسخت می‌سازم، | 8 |
Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
| تا در مقابل ایشان مثل الماس، سخت و مانند صخره، محکم باشی. پس، از این یاغیان نترس! | 9 |
I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
| «ای پسر انسان، تمام سخنان مرا در فکر و دل خود جای بده و به آنها توجه کن. | 10 |
And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
| آنگاه نزد قومت که در تبعید هستند برو و کلام مرا به ایشان اعلام نما؛ چه گوش دهند و چه ندهند.» | 11 |
And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
| سپس روح خدا مرا از زمین بلند کرد و وقتی جلال خداوند از جایگاهش بلند شد، از پشت سر خود صدای غرش عظیمی شنیدم. | 12 |
And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
| این غرش از به هم خوردن بالهای موجودات و چرخهای کنار آنها برمی‌خاست. | 13 |
and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
| روح، مرا برداشت و بُرد. من با تلخی و با خشم رفتم، ولی دست پرقدرت خداوند بر من بود. | 14 |
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
| سپس به تل ابیب، در کنار رود کِبار، نزد یهودیان تبعیدی آمدم. در حالی که غرق در حیرت و اندیشه بودم، هفت روز در میان ایشان نشستم. | 15 |
And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
| در پایان آن هفت روز، خداوند به من فرمود: | 16 |
Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
| «ای پسر انسان، من تو را برای اسرائیل به دیدبانی گماشته‌ام تا هرگاه هشداری برای قومم داشته باشم، تو آن را به ایشان برسانی. | 17 |
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
| اگر من به شخص بدکاری هشدار بدهم که محکوم به هلاکت است، و تو این هشدار را به او نرسانی، او توبه نخواهد کرد و نجات نخواهد یافت. در این صورت او به سبب گناهش هلاک خواهد شد؛ اما من تو را مسئول هلاکت او خواهم دانست و انتقام خون او را از تو خواهم گرفت. | 18 |
If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
| ولی اگر به او هشدار دهی، و او باز به گناه خود ادامه دهد و توبه نکند، آنگاه او در گناهان خود خواهد مرد؛ اما تو مسئول نخواهی بود. | 19 |
But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
| اگر شخص پاک و درستکاری، بدکار و گناهکار شود و تو او را از عاقبت کارش آگاه نسازی، من او را هلاک می‌کنم و او در گناهانش خواهد مرد و اعمال خوب گذشته‌اش نیز تأثیری در محکومیتش نخواهد داشت؛ اما من تو را مسئول هلاکت او خواهم دانست و تو را مجازات خواهم نمود، | 20 |
Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
| ولی اگر به او اخطار کنی و او توبه کند، زنده خواهد ماند و تو نیز جان خود را نجات خواهی داد.» | 21 |
But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
| در آنجا دست خداوند بر من قرار گرفت و او به من فرمود: «برخیز و به بیابان برو و من در آنجا با تو سخن خواهم گفت.» | 22 |
And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
| من نیز برخاستم و رفتم. در آنجا شکوه و جلال خداوند را دیدم، درست همان‌گونه که در رؤیای اول دیده بودم! آنگاه به روی خود به خاک افتادم. | 23 |
And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
| سپس روح خدا داخل من شد و مرا از زمین بلند کرد و چنین فرمود: «به خانه‌ات برو و خود را در آنجا زندانی کن. | 24 |
And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
| تو را با طناب خواهند بست تا نتوانی حرکت کنی. | 25 |
And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
| زبانت را به کامت خواهم چسباند تا نتوانی این یاغیان را توبیخ و نصیحت کنی. | 26 |
And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
| اما هرگاه پیغامی به تو بدهم، زبانت را خواهم گشود تا بتوانی سخن بگویی و کلام مرا به ایشان اعلام نمایی. بعضی به تو گوش خواهند داد و برخی گوش نخواهند داد، چون قومی یاغی هستند.» | 27 |
But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
