حِزْقِيَال 13

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، وَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِمِ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

“Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you have said to those prophesying from their own heart, Hear a word of YHWH!

٣ 3 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْحَمْقَى ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ وَرَاءَ رُوحِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا.

Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.

٤ 4 أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَارُوا كَٱلثَّعَالِبِ فِي ٱلْخِرَبِ.

Your prophets have been As foxes in the wasteland, O Israel.

٥ 5 لَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلثُّغَرِ، وَلَمْ تَبْنُوا جِدَارًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْوُقُوفِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

You have not gone up into breaches, Nor do you make a wall for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of YHWH.

٦ 6 رَأَوْا بَاطِلًا وَعِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً. ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَٱنْتَظَرُوا إِثْبَاتَ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ.

They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: A declaration of YHWH, And YHWH has not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.

٧ 7 أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، قَائِلِينَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

Have you not seen a vain vision, And spoken a lying divination, When you say, A declaration of YHWH, And I have not spoken?

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لِأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَذِبًا، فَلِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

٩ 9 وَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. فِي مَجْلِسِ شَعْبِي لَا يَكُونُونَ، وَفِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُكْتَبُونَ، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And My hand has been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, They are not in the assembly of My people, And they are not written in the writing of the house of Israel, And they do not come to the ground of Israel, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ! وَلَيْسَ سَلَامٌ. وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا وَهَا هُمْ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ.

Because, even because, they caused My people to err, Saying, Peace! And there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And behold, they are coating it with chalk.

١١ 11 فَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ: إِنَّهُ يَسْقُطُ. يَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ، وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ ٱلْبَرَدِ تَسْقُطْنَ، وَرِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ تُشَقِّقُهُ.

Say to those coating with chalk—It falls, There has been an overflowing shower, And you, O hailstones, fall, And a turbulent wind breaks out,

١٢ 12 وَهُوَذَا إِذَا سَقَطَ ٱلْحَائِطُ، أَفَلَا يُقَالُ لَكُمْ: أَيْنَ ٱلطِّينُ ٱلَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

And behold, the wall has fallen! Does one not say to you, Where [is] the coating that you coated?

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أُشَقِّقُهُ بِرِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي غَضَبِي، وَيَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ فِي سَخَطِي، وَحِجَارَةُ بَرَدٍ فِي غَيْظِي لِإِفْنَائِهِ.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have broken with a turbulent wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in My anger, And hailstones in My fury—to consume.

١٤ 14 فَأَهْدِمُ ٱلْحَائِطَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَّطْتُمُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأُلْصِقُهُ بِٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَنْكَشِفُ أَسَاسُهُ فَيَسْقُطُ، وَتَفْنَوْنَ أَنْتُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

And I have broken down the wall that you coated with chalk, And have caused it to come to the earth, And its foundation has been revealed, And it has fallen, And you have been consumed in its midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

١٥ 15 فَأُتِمُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ ٱلْحَائِطُ بِمَوْجُودٍ وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ!

And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those coating it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those coating it are not,

١٦ 16 أَيْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلَامٍ، وَلَا سَلَامَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

[These]—the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing a vision of peace for her, And there is no peace, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

١٧ 17 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ ضِدَّ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ ٱللَّوَاتِي يَتَنَبَّأْنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِنَّ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,

١٨ 18 وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلَّوَاتِي يَخُطْنَ وَسَائِدَ لِكُلِّ أَوْصَالِ ٱلْأَيْدِي، وَيَصْنَعْنَ مِخَدَّاتٍ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لِٱصْطِيَادِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ. أَفَتَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ أَنْفُسَكُنَّ،

And you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to those sowing [magic] bands for all joints of the arm, And to those making the veils For the head of every stature—to hunt souls, Do you hunt the souls of My people? And do your souls that live remain alive?

١٩ 19 وَتُنَجِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِأَجْلِ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ، وَلِأَجْلِ فُتَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، لِإِمَاتَةِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَٱسْتِحْيَاءِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَحْيَا، بِكَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي ٱلسَّامِعِينَ لِلْكَذِبِ؟

Indeed, you pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, To put to death souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people—listening to lies.

٢٠ 20 «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا ضِدُّ وَسَائِدِكُنَّ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِهَا ٱلنُّفُوسَ كَٱلْفِرَاخِ، وَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُطْلِقُ ٱلنُّفُوسَ، ٱلنُّفُوسَ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَهَا كَٱلْفِرَاخِ.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against your [magic] bands, With which you are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have torn them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that you are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.

٢١ 21 وَأُمَزِّقُ مِخَدَّاتِكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ فِي أَيْدِيكُنَّ لِلصَّيْدِ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

And I have torn your veils, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no longer for a prey in your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَذِبًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ أَيْدِي ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لَا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ فَيَحْيَا،

Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn [him] back from his evil way, To keep him alive,

٢٣ 23 فَلِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَلَا تَعْرِفْنَ عِرَافَةً بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

Therefore, you do not see vanity, And you do not divine divination again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH!”
