حِزْقِيَال 11

١ 1 ثُمَّ رَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلشَّرْقِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا، وَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ، وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلْمُفَكِّرُونَ بِٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلْمُشِيرُونَ مَشُورَةً رَدِيئَةً فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;

٣ 3 اَلْقَائِلُونَ: مَا هُوَ قَرِيبٌ بِنَاءُ ٱلْبُيُوتِ! هِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ وَنَحْنُ ٱللَّحْمُ.

who are saying, It [is] not near — to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.

٤ 4 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ. تَنَبَّأْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ».

Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.'

٥ 5 وَحَلَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي: «قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَكَذَا قُلْتُمْ يَابَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَا يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ.

And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, 'Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.

٦ 6 قَدْ كَثَّرْتُمْ قَتْلَاكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلَأْتُمْ أَزِقَّتَهَا بِٱلْقَتْلَى.

Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: قَتْلَاكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسْطِهَا هُمُ ٱللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ ٱلْقِدْرُ. وَإِيَّاكُمْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا.

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.

٨ 8 قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، فَٱلسَّيْفُ أَجْلِبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

٩ 9 وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ، وَأُجْرِي فِيكُمْ أَحْكَامًا.

And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.

١٠ 10 بِٱلسَّيْفِ تَسْقُطُونَ. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

١١ 11 هَذِهِ لَا تَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِدْرًا، وَلَا أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ ٱللَّحْمَ فِي وَسْطِهَا. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ،

It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.

١٢ 12 فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِأَحْكَامِهِ، بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ».

And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you — ye have done!'

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَنَبَّأْتُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ. فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَلْ تُفْنِي أَنْتَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟».

And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry — a loud voice — and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.'

١٤ 14 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

١٥ 15 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، إِخْوَتُكَ إِخْوَتُكَ ذَوُو قَرَابَتِكَ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ٱبْتَعِدُوا عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَنَا أُعْطِيَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِيرَاثًا.

'Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel — all of it, [are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;

١٦ 16 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْعَدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ بَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِسًا صَغِيرًا فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا.

it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَحْشُرُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَبَدَّدْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأُعْطِيكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.

١٨ 18 فَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَيُزِيلُونَ جَمِيعَ مَكْرُهَاتِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ رَجَاسَاتِهَا مِنْهَا.

And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations — out of it.

١٩ 19 وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ ٱلْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ،

And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh.

٢٠ 20 لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا، فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا.

So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ قَلْبُهُمْ ذَاهِبٌ وَرَاءَ قَلْبِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْلِبُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

٢٢ 22 ثُمَّ رَفَعَتِ ٱلْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا، وَمَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.

And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them above.

٢٣ 23 وَصَعِدَ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَرْقِيِّ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.

٢٤ 24 وَحَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ وَجَاءَ بِي فِي ٱلرُّؤْيَا بِرُوحِ ٱللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، فَصَعِدَتْ عَنِّي ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا.

And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;

٢٥ 25 فَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهُ.

and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
