حِزْقِيَال 21
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى ٱلْمَقَادِسِ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢ 2 |
“You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
| وَقُلْ لِأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ، وَأَسْتَلُّ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ فَأَقْطَعُ مِنْكِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ. | ٣ 3 |
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
| مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنِّي أَقْطَعُ مِنْكِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ، فَلِذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ. | ٤ 4 |
[what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
| فَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، سَلَلْتُ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ. لَا يَرْجِعُ أَيْضًا. | ٥ 5 |
Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَهَّدْ بِٱنْكِسَارِ ٱلْحَقَوَيْنِ، وَبِمَرَارَةٍ تَنَهَّدْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
| وَيَكُونُ إِذَا قَالُوا لَكَ: عَلَى مَ تَتَنَهَّدُ؟ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ: عَلَى ٱلْخَبَرِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءٍ فَيَذُوبُ كُلُّ قَلْبٍ، وَتَرْتَخِي كُلُّ ٱلْأَيْدِي، وَتَيْأَسُ كُلُّ رُوحٍ، وَكُلُّ ٱلرُّكَبِ تَصِيرُ كَٱلْمَاءِ، هَا هِيَ آتِيَةٌ وَتَكُونُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٧ 7 |
And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٨ 8 |
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قُلْ: سَيْفٌ سَيْفٌ حُدِّدَ وَصُقِلَ أَيْضًا. | ٩ 9 |
“You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
| قَدْ حُدِّدَ لِيَذْبَحَ ذَبْحًا. قَدْ صُقِلَ لِكَيْ يَبْرُقَ. فَهَلْ نَبْتَهِجُ؟ عَصَا ٱبْنِي تَزْدَرِي بِكُلِّ عُودٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
| وَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُ لِيُصْقَلَ لِكَيْ يُمْسَكَ بِٱلْكَفِّ. هَذَا ٱلسَّيْفُ قَدْ حُدِّدَ وَهُوَ مَصْقُولٌ لِكَيْ يُسَلَّمَ لِيَدِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ. | ١١ 11 |
A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
| ٱصْرُخْ وَوَلْوِلْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى شَعْبِي وَعَلَى كُلِّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَهْوَالٌ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّيْفِ تَكُونُ عَلَى شَعْبِي. لِذَلِكَ ٱصْفِقْ عَلَى فَخْذِكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
[So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
| لِأَنَّهُ ٱمْتِحَانٌ. وَمَاذَا إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَيْضًا ٱلْعَصَا ٱلْمُزْدَرِيَةُ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٣ 13 |
I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
| فَتَنَبَّأْ أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ وَٱصْفِقْ كَفًّا عَلَى كَفٍّ، وَلْيُعَدِ ٱلسَّيْفُ ثَالِثَةً. هُوَ سَيْفُ ٱلْقَتْلَى، سَيْفُ ٱلْقَتْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْمُحِيقُ بِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
| لِذَوَبَانِ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَتَكْثِيرِ ٱلْمَهَالِكِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ سَيْفًا مُتَقَلِّبًا. آهِ! قَدْ جُعِلَ بَرَّاقًا. هُوَ مَصْقُولٌ لِلذَّبْحِ. | ١٥ 15 |
In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
| ٱنْضَمَّ يَمِّنِ، ٱنْتَصِبْ شَمِّلْ، حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ حَدُّكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
| وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُصَفِّقُ كَفِّي عَلَى كَفِّي وَأُسَكِّنُ غَضَبِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ». | ١٧ 17 |
Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١٨ 18 |
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
| «وَأَنْتَ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ، عَيِّنْ لِنَفْسِكَ طَرِيقَيْنِ لِمَجِيءِ سَيْفِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ. مِنْ أَرْضٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَخْرُجُ ٱلِٱثْنَتَانِ. وَٱصْنَعْ صُوَّةً، عَلَى رَأْسِ طَرِيقِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱصْنَعْهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
“You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
| عَيِّنْ طَرِيقًا لِيَأْتِيَ ٱلسَّيْفُ عَلَى رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَنِيعَةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
[If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
| لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ وَقَفَ عَلَى أُمِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ، عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلطَّرِيقَيْنِ لِيَعْرِفَ عِرَافَةً. صَقَلَ ٱلسِّهَامَ، سَأَلَ بِٱلتَّرَافِيمِ، نَظَرَ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِدِ. | ٢١ 21 |
[When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
| عَنْ يَمِينِهِ كَانَتِ ٱلْعِرَافَةُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِوَضْعِ ٱلْمَجَانِقِ، لِفَتْحِ ٱلْفَمِ فِي ٱلْقَتْلِ، وَلِرَفْعِ ٱلصَّوْتِ بِٱلْهُتَافِ، لِوَضْعِ ٱلْمَجَانِقِ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْوَابِ، لِإِقَامَةِ مِتْرَسَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بُرْجٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
| وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ عِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ فِي عُيُونِهِمِ ٱلْحَالِفِينَ لَهُمْ حَلْفًا. لَكِنَّهُ يَذْكُرُ ٱلْإِثْمَ حَتَّى يُؤْخَذُوا. | ٢٣ 23 |
The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ ذَكَّرْتُمْ بِإِثْمِكُمْ عِنْدَ ٱنْكِشَافِ مَعَاصِيكُمْ لِإِظْهَارِ خَطَايَاكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، فَمِنْ تَذْكِيرِكُمْ تُؤْخَذُونَ بِٱلْيَدِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
| «وَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّجِسُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، رَئِيسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِي قَدْ جَاءَ يَوْمُهُ فِي زَمَانِ إِثْمِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْزِعِ ٱلْعَمَامَةَ. ٱرْفَعِ ٱلتَّاجَ. هَذِهِ لَا تِلْكَ. ٱرْفَعِ ٱلْوَضِيعَ، وَضَعِ ٱلرَّفِيعَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
| مُنْقَلِبًا، مُنْقَلِبًا، مُنْقَلِبًا أَجْعَلُهُ! هَذَا أَيْضًا لَا يَكُونُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ فَأُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
[Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
| «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فِي بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَفِي تَعْيِيرِهِمْ، فَقُلْ: سَيْفٌ، سَيْفٌ مَسْلُولٌ لِلذَّبْحِ! مَصْقُولٌ لِلْغَايَةِ لِلْبَرِيقِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
“And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
| إِذْ يَرَوْنَ لَكَ بَاطِلًا، إِذْ يَعْرِفُونَ لَكَ كَذِبًا، لِيَجْعَلُوكَ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءَ يَوْمُهُمْ فِي زَمَانِ إِثْمِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
[Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
| فَهَلْ أُعِيدُهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ؟ أَلَا فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي خُلِقْتِ فِيهِ فِي مَوْلِدِكِ أُحَاكِمُكِ! | ٣٠ 30 |
You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
| وَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْكِ غَضَبِي، وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكِ بِنَارِ غَيْظِي، وَأُسَلِّمُكِ لِيَدِ رِجَالٍ مُتَحَرِّقِينَ مَاهِرِينَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. | ٣١ 31 |
I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
| تَكُونِينَ أُكْلَةً لِلنَّارِ. دَمُكِ يَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا تُذْكَرِينَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ». | ٣٢ 32 |
You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
