حِزِقیال 32

1 در سال دوازدهم تبعیدمان، در روز اول ماه دوازدهم، این پیغام از جانب خداوند به من رسید:

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 «ای پسر انسان، برای پادشاه مصر ماتم بگیر و به او بگو: تو در میان قومهای جهان خود را یک شیر ژیان می‌دانی، در حالی که شبیه تمساحی هستی که در رود نیل می‌گردی و آبها را گل‌آلود می‌کنی.

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.

3 «پس خداوند یهوه می‌فرماید: لشکری بزرگ می‌فرستم تا تو را به دام من انداخته، به ساحل بکشند.

But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.

4 من تو را در آنجا روی خشکی رها می‌کنم تا بمیری. تمام پرندگان و جانوران وحشی بر سر تو می‌ریزند و تو را خورده، سیر می‌شوند.

They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.

5 تمام تپه‌ها را از گوشت تو می‌پوشانم و از استخوانهایت دره‌ها را پر می‌سازم.

I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.

6 از خون تو زمین را سیراب می‌کنم و با آن کوهها را می‌پوشانم و دره‌ها را لبریز می‌گردانم.

I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.

7 وقتی تو را خاموش کردم، پرده‌ای بر آسمان می‌کشم و ستاره‌ها را تاریک می‌گردانم، آفتاب را با ابرها می‌پوشانم و نور ماه بر تو نمی‌تابد.

When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.

8 بله، سراسر سرزمین تو تاریک می‌گردد. حتی ستارگان درخشان آسمان تو نیز تاریک می‌شوند.

I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.

9 «وقتی تو را از بین ببرم، دل بسیاری از قومهای دور دست که هرگز آنها را ندیده‌ای، محزون می‌شود.

And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.

10 بله، بسیاری از ممالک هراسان می‌شوند و پادشاهان آنها به سبب آنچه که بر سرت می‌آورم به شدت می‌ترسند. وقتی شمشیر خود را در برابر آنها تاب دهم، به وحشت می‌افتند. در روزی که سقوط کنی همهٔ آنها از ترس جان خود خواهند لرزید.»

I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”

11 خداوند یهوه به پادشاه مصر می‌فرماید: «شمشیر پادشاه بابِل بر تو فرود می‌آید.

This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.

12 با سپاه بزرگ بابِل که مایهٔ وحشت قومهاست، تو را از بین می‌برم. غرور تو در هم می‌شکند و قومت هلاک می‌شوند.

I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.

13 تمام گله‌ها و رمه‌هایت را که در کنار آبها می‌چرند، از بین می‌برم و دیگر انسان یا حیوانی نخواهد بود که آن آبها را گل‌آلود سازد.

I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.

14 پس آبهای مصر شفاف و روان و مثل روغن زیتون صاف خواهند بود؛ این را من که خداوند یهوه هستم می‌گویم.

Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.

15 هنگامی که مصر را ویران کنم و هر آنچه در آن است از بین ببرم، آنگاه او خواهد دانست که من خداوند یهوه هستم.»

When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’

16 خداوند یهوه می‌فرماید: «برای بدبختی و اندوه مصر گریه کنید. بگذارید همهٔ قومها برای آن و ساکنانش ماتم گیرند.»

That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”

17 دو هفته بعد پیغامی دیگر از جانب خداوند به من رسید:

On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

18 «ای پسر انسان، برای مردم مصر و سایر قومهای بزرگ گریه کن و آنها را به دنیای مردگان بفرست.

“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.

19 به مصر بگو:”تو به زیبایی خود افتخار می‌کنی، ولی بدان که به دنیای مردگان خواهی رفت و در کنار آنانی که حقیر می‌شمردی قرار خواهی گرفت.“

Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.

20 مصری‌ها نیز مانند بقیهٔ کسانی که با شمشیر کشته شده‌اند، خواهند مرد. همهٔ آنها از دم شمشیر خواهند گذشت.

[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.

21 وقتی همراه هم‌پیمانانش به دنیای مردگان وارد شود، جنگاوران بزرگ خواهند گفت که مصر و هم‌پیمانانش آمده‌اند تا در کنار کسانی که تحقیر کرده و کشته‌اند قرار گیرند. (Sheol h7585)

In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)

22 «بزرگان آشور در آنجا خفته‌اند و قبرهای مردم آشور که همه با شمشیر کشته شده‌اند، گرداگرد ایشان است.

[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

23 قبرهای آنها در قعر دنیای مردگان است و هم‌پیمانانشان در اطراف ایشان قرار دارند. این مردانی که زمانی در دل بسیاری ترس و وحشت ایجاد می‌کردند، حال مرده‌اند.

The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.

24 «بزرگان عیلام در آنجا خفته‌اند و قبرهای مردم عیلام که با شمشیر کشته شده‌اند، گرداگرد ایشان است. این مردانی که در زمان حیات خود باعث ترس قومها می‌شدند، حال، با خجالت و رسوایی به قعر دنیای مردگان رفته، در کنار کشته‌شدگان قرار گرفته‌اند.

A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.

25

They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.

26 «بزرگان ماشک و توبال در آنجا خفته‌اند و قبرهای مردمانشان گرداگرد ایشان است. این مردانی که زمانی در دل همه رعب و وحشت ایجاد می‌کردند، حال با رسوایی مرده‌اند.

[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.

27 آنها مانند سرداران نامور که با سلاحها، شمشیرها و سپرهای خود، باشکوه فراوان به خاک سپرده می‌شوند، دفن نشده‌اند بلکه مثل اشخاص عادی دفن شده و به دنیای مردگان رفته‌اند، زیرا در زمان حیات خود باعث رعب و وحشت بودند. (Sheol h7585)

They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)

28 «تو نیز ای پادشاه مصر، از پای درآمده، به کسانی که با رسوایی کشته شده‌اند، ملحق خواهی شد.

You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.

29 «ادوم نیز با پادشاهان و بزرگانش در آنجا است. آنها نیز با وجود عظمت و قدرتشان به قعر دنیای مردگان رفته و در کنار کسانی که با رسوایی کشته شده‌اند قرار گرفته‌اند.

People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.

30 «تمام بزرگان شمال و همهٔ صیدونی‌ها در آنجا هستند؛ مردانی که زمانی با قدرت خود مایهٔ وحشت و هراس مردم بودند، حال، با خجالت و رسوایی به قعر دنیای مردگان رفته و در کنار کشته‌شدگان قرار گرفته‌اند.»

All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.

31 خداوند یهوه می‌فرماید: «وقتی پادشاه مصر با سپاه خود به دنیای مردگان برسد به این دلخوش خواهد شد که تنها او نبوده که با تمام سپاهش کشته شده است.

The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.

32 هر چند من پادشاه مصر را مایهٔ رعب و وحشت ساخته‌ام، ولی او و تمام سپاهش از پای درآمده، به کسانی که با رسوایی کشته شده‌اند ملحق خواهند شد.»

While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
