< حِزْقِيَال 15 >
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مَاذَا يَكُونُ عُودُ ٱلْكَرْمِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ عُودٍ أَوْ فَوْقَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ شَجَرِ ٱلْوَعْرِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
And thou, son of man—of all the wood, of the branches that are among the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?
هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ عُودٌ لِٱصْطِنَاعِ عَمَلٍ مَّا، أَوْ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ وَتَدًا لِيُعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَاءٌ مَّا؟ | ٣ 3 |
Will they take wood of it to make [it fit] for work? will they take of it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?
هُوَذَا يُطْرَحُ أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ. تَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّارُ طَرَفَيْهِ وَيُحْرَقُ وَسَطُهُ. فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ؟ | ٤ 4 |
It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for [any] work?
هُوَذَا حِينَ كَانَ صَحِيحًا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ مَّا، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَا يَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِعَمَلٍ إِذْ أَكَلَتْهُ ٱلنَّارُ فَٱحْتَرَقَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Not even while it is yet whole will it be [useful] for [any] work: if the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be [fit] for work?
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِثْلَ عُودِ ٱلْكَرْمِ بَيْنَ عِيدَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ ٱلَّتِي بَذَلْتُهَا أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ، كَذَلِكَ أَبْذُلُ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord, As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ نَارٍ فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارٌ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth of the fire, and [yet] fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set my face against them.
وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا خِيَانَةً، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٨ 8 |
And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly transgressed, saith the Lord.
