وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مَاذَا يَكُونُ عُودُ ٱلْكَرْمِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ عُودٍ أَوْ فَوْقَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ شَجَرِ ٱلْوَعْرِ؟ ٢ 2
“Son of man, how is a vine better than any tree with branches that is among the trees in a forest?
هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ عُودٌ لِٱصْطِنَاعِ عَمَلٍ مَّا، أَوْ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ وَتَدًا لِيُعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَاءٌ مَّا؟ ٣ 3
Do people take wood from a vine to make anything? Or do they make a peg from it to hang anything on it?
هُوَذَا يُطْرَحُ أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ. تَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّارُ طَرَفَيْهِ وَيُحْرَقُ وَسَطُهُ. فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ؟ ٤ 4
See! If it is thrown into a fire as fuel, and if the fire has burned both of its ends and also the middle, is it good for anything?
هُوَذَا حِينَ كَانَ صَحِيحًا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ مَّا، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَا يَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِعَمَلٍ إِذْ أَكَلَتْهُ ٱلنَّارُ فَٱحْتَرَقَ؟ ٥ 5
See! When it was complete, it could not make anything; surely then, when the fire has burned, then it still will not make anything useful.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِثْلَ عُودِ ٱلْكَرْمِ بَيْنَ عِيدَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ ٱلَّتِي بَذَلْتُهَا أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ، كَذَلِكَ أَبْذُلُ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٦ 6
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Unlike the trees in the forests, I have given the vine as fuel for fires; I will act in the same way toward the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ نَارٍ فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارٌ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. ٧ 7
For I will set my face against them. Though they come out from the fire, yet the fire will consume them; so you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.
وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا خِيَانَةً، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٨ 8
Then I will make the land into an abandoned wasteland because they have committed sin—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
