حِزْقِيَال 2

١ 1 فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُمْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ».

And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

٢ 2 فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي، وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ مَعِي.

And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.

٣ 3 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتَمَرِّدَةٍ قَدْ تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَيَّ. هُمْ وَآبَاؤُهُمْ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ إِلَى ذَاتِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me: [even] to this very day.

٤ 4 وَٱلْبَنُونَ ٱلْقُسَاةُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَٱلصِّلَابُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

٥ 5 وَهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

٦ 6 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ فَلَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ، وَمِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ لَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَرِيسٌ وَسُلَّاءٌ لَدَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَقَارِبِ. مِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ لَا تَخَفْ وَمِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَعِبْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.

٧ 7 وَتَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ بِكَلَامِي، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ.

And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.

٨ 8 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَٱسْمَعْ مَا أَنَا مُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَكُنْ مُتَمَرِّدًا كَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِ. ٱفْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَكُلْ مَا أَنَا مُعْطِيكَهُ».

But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

٩ 9 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِيَدٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَإِذَا بِدَرْجِ سِفْرٍ فِيهَا.

And when I looked, behold, a hand [was] sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book [was] in it;

١٠ 10 فَنَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ قَفَاهُ، وَكُتِبَ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَنَحِيبٌ وَوَيْلٌ.

And he spread it before me: and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
