< حِزْقِيَال 20 >

وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَاءُوا لِيَسْأَلُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَجَلَسُوا أَمَامِي. ١ 1
And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.
فَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٢ 2
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كَلِّمْ شُيُوخَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ آتُونَ لِتَسْأَلُونِي؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Is it to inquire of me that ye have come? As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
هَلْ تَدِينُهُمْ؟ هَلْ تَدِينُ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ عَرِّفْهُمْ رَجَاسَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ، ٤ 4
Will thou judge them, son of man, will thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers,
وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ ٱخْتَرْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِنَسْلِ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَرَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي قَائِلًا: أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، ٥ 5
and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God,
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسْتُهَا لَهُمْ، تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي، ٦ 6
I swore to them in that day, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
وَقُلْتُ لَهُمُ: ٱطْرَحُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْكُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ٧ 7
And I said to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
فَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُرِيدُوا أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي، وَلَمْ يَطْرَحِ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْهُمْ أَرْجَاسَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكُوا أَصْنَامَ مِصْرَ. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي فِي وَسْطِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٨ 8
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken to me. They did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَّفْتُهُمْ نَفْسِي أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ بِإِخْرَاجِهِمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٩ 9
But I worked for my name's sake (that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them) in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
فَأَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ فَرَائِضِي وَعَرَّفْتُهُمْ أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا. ١١ 11
And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا سُبُوتِي لِتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ، لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ. ١٢ 12
Moreover I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
«فَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَرَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي كَثِيرًا. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِإِفْنَائِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. And they greatly profaned my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
لَكِنْ صَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ بِأَنِّي لَا آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، هِيَ فَخْرُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. ١٥ 15
Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,
لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا أَحْكَامِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي، بَلْ نَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، لِأَنَّ قَلْبَهُمْ ذَهَبَ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
because they rejected my ordinances, and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths, for their heart went after their idols.
لَكِنَّ عَيْنِي أَشْفَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَنْ إِهْلَاكِهِمْ، فَلَمْ أُفْنِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ١٧ 17
Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them, nor did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
وَقُلْتُ لِأَبْنَائِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ: لَا تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَلَا تَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامَهُمْ، وَلَا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. ١٨ 18
And I said to their sons in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers. Neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَٱسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَٱحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَٱعْمَلُوا بِهَا، ١٩ 19
I am Jehovah your God. Walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them,
وَقَدِّسُوا سُبُوتِي فَتَكُونَ عَلَامَةً بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. ٢٠ 20
and hallow my sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God.
فَتَمَرَّدَ ٱلْأَبْنَاءُ عَلَيَّ. لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي لِيَعْمَلُوهَا، ٱلَّتِي إِنْ عَمِلَهَا إِنْسَانٌ يَحْيَا بِهَا، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي. فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَسْكُبُ رِجْزِي عَلَيْهِمْ لِأُتِمَّ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٢١ 21
But the sons rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
ثُمَّ كَفَفْتُ يَدِي وَصَنَعْتُ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِي لِكَيْلَا يَتَنَجَّسَ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. ٢٢ 22
Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
وَرَفَعْتُ أَيْضًا يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لِأُفَرِّقَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُذَرِّيَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي، ٢٣ 23
Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries,
لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَصْنَعُوا أَحْكَامِي، بَلْ رَفَضُوا فَرَائِضِي، وَنَجَّسُوا سُبُوتِي، وَكَانَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ وَرَاءَ أَصْنَامِ آبَائِهِمْ. ٢٤ 24
because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ أَيْضًا فَرَائِضَ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ، وَأَحْكَامًا لَا يَحْيَوْنَ بِهَا، ٢٥ 25
Moreover I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they will not live.
وَنَجَّسْتُهُمْ بِعَطَايَاهُمْ إِذْ أَجَازُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ كُلَّ فَاتِحِ رَحْمٍ، لِأُبِيدَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. ٢٦ 26
And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.
«لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي هَذَا أَيْضًا جَدَّفَ عَلَيَّ آبَاؤُكُمْ، إِذْ خَانُونِي خِيَانَةً ٢٧ 27
Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: In this moreover your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
لَمَّا أَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ لَهُمْ يَدِي لِأُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، فَرَأَوْا كُلَّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ غَبْيَاءَ، فَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ، وَقَرَّبُوا هُنَاكَ قَرَابِينَهُمُ ٱلْمُغِيظَةَ، وَقَدَّمُوا هُنَاكَ رَوَائِحَ سُرُورِهِمْ، وَسَكَبُوا هُنَاكَ سَكَائِبَهُمْ. ٢٨ 28
For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink offerings.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: مَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا؟ فَدُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «مُرْتَفَعَةً» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٩ 29
Then I said to them, What does the high place to which ye go mean? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day.
«لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِطَرِيقِ آبَائِكُمْ، وَزَنَيْتُمْ وَرَاءَ أَرْجَاسِهِمْ؟ ٣٠ 30
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Do ye pollute yourselves according to the manner of your fathers, and play ye the harlot according to their abominations?
وَبِتَقْدِيمِ عَطَايَاكُمْ وَإِجَازَةِ أَبْنَائِكُمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، تَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِكُلِّ أَصْنَامِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ. فَهَلْ أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا أُسْأَلُ مِنْكُمْ. ٣١ 31
And when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
وَٱلَّذِي يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ لَنْ يَكُونَ، إِذْ تَقُولُونَ: نَكُونُ كَٱلْأُمَمِ، كَقَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي فَنَعْبُدُ ٱلْخَشَبَ وَٱلْحَجَرَ. ٣٢ 32
And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنِّي بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ أَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكُمْ. ٣٣ 33
As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَبِذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَبِسَخَطٍ مَسْكُوبٍ. ٣٤ 34
And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out,
وَآتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأُحَاكِمُكُمْ هُنَاكَ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ. ٣٥ 35
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples. And there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
كَمَا حَاكَمْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، كَذَلِكَ أُحَاكِمُكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٦ 36
Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the lord Jehovah.
وَأُمِرُّكُمْ تَحْتَ ٱلْعَصَا، وَأُدْخِلُكُمْ فِي رِبَاطِ ٱلْعَهْدِ. ٣٧ 37
And I will cause you to pass under the rod. And I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
وَأَعْزِلُ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَٱلْعُصَاةَ عَلَيَّ. أُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣٨ 38
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who transgress against me. I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
«أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱذْهَبُوا ٱعْبُدُوا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَصْنَامَهُ. وَبَعْدُ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي فَلَا تُنَجِّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ بَعْدُ بِعَطَايَاكُمْ وَبِأَصْنَامِكُمْ. ٣٩ 39
As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the lord Jehovah: Go ye. Serve each one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken to me. But ye shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts, and with your idols.
لِأَنَّهُ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، فِي جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْعَالِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هُنَاكَ يَعْبُدُنِي كُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. هُنَاكَ أَرْضَى عَنْهُمْ، وَهُنَاكَ أَطْلُبُ تَقْدِمَاتِكُمْ وَبَاكُورَاتِ جِزَاكُمْ مَعَ جَمِيعِ مُقَدَّسَاتِكُمْ. ٤٠ 40
For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
بِرَائِحَةِ سُرُورِكُمْ أَرْضَى عَنْكُمْ، حِينَ أُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي تَفَرَّقْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكُمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٤١ 41
I will accept you as a sweet savor when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered. And I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، حِينَ آتِي بِكُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي لِأُعْطِي آبَاءَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا. ٤٢ 42
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
وَهُنَاكَ تَذْكُرُونَ طُرُقَكُمْ وَكُلَّ أَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تَنَجَّسْتُمْ بِهَا، وَتَمْقُتُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّرُورِ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلْتُمْ. ٤٣ 43
And there ye shall remember your ways, and all your doings, by which ye have polluted yourselves. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِذَا فَعَلْتُ بِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِي. لَا كَطُرُقِكُمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَلَا كَأَعْمَالِكُمُ ٱلْفَاسِدَةِ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٤٤ 44
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, says the lord Jehovah.
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٤٥ 45
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ، وَتَكَلَّمْ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى وَعْرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ فِي ٱلْجَنُوبِ، ٤٦ 46
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South.
وَقُلْ لِوَعْرِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ: ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أُضْرِمُ فِيكَ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِيكَ وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ. لَا يُطْفَأُ لَهِيبُهَا ٱلْمُلْتَهِبُ، وَتُحْرَقُ بِهَا كُلُّ ٱلْوُجُوهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٤٧ 47
And say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree. The flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt by it.
فَيَرَى كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَضْرَمْتُهَا. لَا تُطْفَأُ». ٤٨ 48
And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it. It shall not be quenched.
فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: أَمَا يُمَثِّلُ هُوَ أَمْثَالًا؟». ٤٩ 49
Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! They say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?
