حِزْقِيَال 25

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ،

“Son of man, face towards the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

٣ 3 وَقُلْ لِبَنِي عَمُّونَ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكِ قُلْتِ: هَهْ! عَلَى مَقْدِسِي لِأَنَّهُ تَنَجَّسَ، وَعَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنَّهَا خَرِبَتْ، وَعَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا لِأَنَّهُمْ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ،

Tell the Ammonites to listen to the message from the Lord God, for this is what the Lord God says: Because you said, ‘Oh good!’ when my sanctuary was made unclean, when the country of Israel was turned into a wasteland, and when the people of Judah were taken into exile,

٤ 4 فَلِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أُسَلِّمُكِ لِبَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ مِلْكًا، فَيُقِيمُونَ صِيَرَهُمْ فِيكِ، وَيَجْعَلُونَ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ فِيكِ. هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ غَلَّتَكِ وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ لَبَنَكِ.

this is why I will make you subject to the people of the East. They will make camp and set up their tents right where you live. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

٥ 5 وَأَجْعَلُ «رَبَّةَ» مَنَاخًا لِلْإِبِلِ، وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ مَرْبِضًا لِلْغَنَمِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

I will make Rabbah a camel pasture, and Ammon a sheep-pen. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ صَفَّقْتَ بِيَدَيْكَ وَخَبَطْتَ بِرِجْلَيْكَ وَفَرِحْتَ بِكُلِّ إِهَانَتِكَ لِلْمَوْتِ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For this is what the Lord God says: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet in a celebration of hate over what happened to Israel,

٧ 7 فَلِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكَ وَأُسَلِّمُكَ غَنِيمَةً لِلْأُمَمِ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأُبِيدُكَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. أَخْرِبُكَ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

this is why I will reach out and attack you, and hand you over to be looted by other nations. I will wipe you out so completely that you will no longer exist as a nation. I will destroy you, and then you will know that I am the Lord.

٨ 8 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ مُوآبَ وَسَعِيرَ يَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا مِثْلُ كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

This is what the Lord God says: Because the people of Moab and Seir said, ‘Look, the people of Judah are just like everybody else,’

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَفْتَحُ جَانِبَ مُوآبَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ، مِنْ مَدُنِهِ مِنْ أَقْصَاهَا، بَهَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، بَيْتِ بَشِيمُوتَ وَبَعْلِ مَعُونَ وَقِرْيَتَايِمَ،

that's why I will open Moab's border to attack, including Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, the country's famous cities.

١٠ 10 لِبَنِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ عَلَى بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ مُلْكًا، لِكَيْلَا يُذْكَرَ بَنُو عَمُّونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

I will hand Moab over to the people of the East for them to rule so that will no longer exist as a nation just like the Ammonites.

١١ 11 وَبِمُوآبَ أُجْرِي أَحْكَامًا، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

This is how I'm going to punish the Moabites, and they will know that I am the Lord.

١٢ 12 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ أَدُومَ قَدْ عَمِلَ بِالِٱنْتِقَامِ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَأَسَاءَ إِسَاءَةً وَٱنْتَقَمَ مِنْهُ،

This is what the Lord God says: Because Edom committed serious sins by taking vicious revenge on the people of Judah,

١٣ 13 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى أَدُومَ، وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ، وَأُصَيِّرُهَا خَرَابًا. مِنَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ وَإِلَى دَدَانَ يَسْقُطُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ.

this is why the Lord God says: I will reach out to attack Edom and destroy all its people and animals. I will turn it into a wasteland. All the way from Teman in the north to Dedan in the south they will die by the sword.

١٤ 14 وَأَجْعَلُ نَقْمَتِي فِي أَدُومَ بِيَدِ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَفْعَلُونَ بِأَدُومَ كَغَضَبِي وَكَسَخَطِي، فَيَعْرِفُونَ نَقْمَتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

I will take revenge on the Edomites through my people Israel. They will deal with the Edomites so that they experience my anger. Then they will know what my vengeance is like, declares the Lord God.

١٥ 15 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَدْ عَمِلُوا بِالِٱنْتِقَامِ، وَٱنْتَقَمُوا نَقْمَةً بِٱلْإِهَانَةِ إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ لِلْخَرَابِ مِنْ عَدَاوَةٍ أَبَدِيَّةٍ،

This is what the Lord God says: Because the Philistines in their hatred repeatedly took revenge on Judah, trying to destroy the people,

١٦ 16 فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ ٱلْكَرِيتِيِّينَ، وَأُهْلِكُ بَقِيَّةَ سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

this is why the Lord God says: Watch out! I'm going to reach out to attack the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those who are left along the coast.

١٧ 17 وَأُجْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ نَقْمَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً بِتَأْدِيبِ سَخَطٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، إِذْ أَجْعَلُ نَقْمَتِي عَلَيْهِمْ».

My revenge against them will be severe as I punish them in my anger. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when they experience my anger.”
