حِزْقِيَال 28

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِرَئِيسِ صُورَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُكَ وَقُلْتَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ. فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ أَجْلِسُ فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْبِحَارِ. وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا إِلَهٌ، وَإِنْ جَعَلْتَ قَلْبَكَ كَقَلْبِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ!

And thou, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord; Because thine heart has been exalted, and thou hast said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet thou art man and not God, though thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:

٣ 3 هَا أَنْتَ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ دَانِيآلَ! سِرٌّ مَا لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ.

art thou wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed thee with their knowledge?

٤ 4 وَبِحِكْمَتِكَ وَبِفَهْمِكَ حَصَّلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ ثَرْوَةً، وَحَصَّلْتَ ٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي خَزَائِنِكَ.

Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine [own] knowledge or thine [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in thy treasures?

٥ 5 بِكَثْرَةِ حِكْمَتِكَ فِي تِجَارَتِكَ كَثَّرْتَ ثَرْوَتَكَ، فَٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُكَ بِسَبَبِ غِنَاكَ.

By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.

٦ 6 فَلِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ قَلْبَكَ كَقَلْبِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ،

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the hart of God;

٧ 7 لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكَ غُرَبَاءَ، عُتَاةَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَيُجَرِّدُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَى بَهْجَةِ حِكْمَتِكَ وَيُدَنِّسُونَ جَمَالَكَ.

because of this, behold, I [will] bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,

٨ 8 يُنَزِّلُونَكَ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، فَتَمُوتُ مَوْتَ ٱلْقَتْلَى فِي قَلْبِ ٱلْبِحَارِ.

and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.

٩ 9 هَلْ تَقُولُ قَوْلًا أَمَامَ قَاتِلِكَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ؟ وَأَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا إِلَهٌ فِي يَدِ طَاعِنِكَ!

Wilt thou indeed say, I am God, before them that slay thee? whereas thou art man, and not God.

١٠ 10 مَوْتَ ٱلْغُلْفِ تَمُوتُ بِيَدِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا تَكَلَّمْتُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

Thou shalt perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.

١١ 11 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

١٢ 12 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱرْفَعْ مَرْثَاةً عَلَى مَلِكِ صُورَ وَقُلْ لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتَ خَاتِمُ ٱلْكَمَالِ، مَلآنٌ حِكْمَةً وَكَامِلُ ٱلْجَمَالِ.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou art a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.

١٣ 13 كُنْتَ فِي عَدْنٍ جَنَّةِ ٱللهِ. كُلُّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ سِتَارَتُكَ، عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ وَزَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشْبٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَبَهْرَمَانُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ وَذَهَبٌ. أَنْشَأُوا فِيكَ صَنْعَةَ صِيغَةِ ٱلفُصُوصِ وَتَرْصِيعِهَا يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ.

Thou wast in the delight of the paradise of God; thou hast bound upon thee every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and thou hast filled thy treasures and thy stores in thee with gold.

١٤ 14 أَنْتَ ٱلْكَرُوبُ ٱلْمُنْبَسِطُ ٱلْمُظَلِّلُ، وَأَقَمْتُكَ. عَلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ كُنْتَ. بَيْنَ حِجَارَةِ ٱلنَّارِ تَمَشَّيْتَ.

From the day that thou wast created thou [wast] with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.

١٥ 15 أَنْتَ كَامِلٌ فِي طُرُقِكَ مِنْ يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ حَتَّى وُجِدَ فِيكَ إِثْمٌ.

Thou wast faultless in thy days, from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.

١٦ 16 بِكَثْرَةِ تِجَارَتِكَ مَلَأُوا جَوْفَكَ ظُلْمًا فَأَخْطَأْتَ. فَأَطْرَحُكَ مِنْ جَبَلِ ٱللهِ وَأُبِيدُكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْكَرُوبُ ٱلْمُظَلِّلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ حِجَارَةِ ٱلنَّارِ.

Of the abundance of thy merchandise thou hast filled thy storehouses with iniquity, and hast sinned: therefore thou hast been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought thee out of the midst of the stones of fire.

١٧ 17 قَدِ ٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُكَ لِبَهْجَتِكَ. أَفْسَدْتَ حِكْمَتَكَ لِأَجْلِ بَهَائِكَ. سَأَطْرَحُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَجْعَلُكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ لِيَنْظُرُوا إِلَيْكَ.

Thy heart has been lifted up because of thy beauty; thy knowledge has been corrupted with thy beauty: because of the multitude of thy sins I have cast thee to the ground, I have caused thee to be put to open shame before kings.

١٨ 18 قَدْ نَجَّسْتَ مَقَادِسَكَ بِكَثْرَةِ آثَامِكَ بِظُلْمِ تِجَارَتِكَ، فَأُخْرِجُ نَارًا مِنْ وَسْطِكَ فَتَأْكُلُكَ، وَأُصَيِّرُكَ رَمَادًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ مَنْ يَرَاكَ.

Because of the multitude of thy sins and the iniquities of thy merchandise, I have profaned thy sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of thee, this shall devour thee; and I will make thee [to be] ashes upon thy land before all that see thee.

١٩ 19 فَيَتَحَيَّرُ مِنْكَ جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَكَ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَتَكُونُ أَهْوَالًا وَلَا تُوجَدُ بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

And all that know thee among the nations shall groan over thee: thou art gone to destruction, and thou shalt not exist any more.

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

٢١ 21 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ صَيْدُونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا،

Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,

٢٢ 22 وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ يَا صَيْدُونُ وَسَأَتَمَجَّدُ فِي وَسْطِكِ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أُجْرِي فِيهَا أَحْكَامًا وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِيهَا.

and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in thee, and I will be sanctified in thee.

٢٣ 23 وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهَا وَبَأً وَدَمًا إِلَى أَزِقَّتِهَا، وَيُسْقَطُ ٱلْجَرْحَى فِي وَسْطِهَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

Blood and death [shall be] in thy streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in thee and on every side of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

٢٤ 24 «فَلَا يَكُونُ بَعْدُ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ سُلَّاءٌ مُمَرِّرٌ وَلَا شَوْكَةٌ مُوجِعَةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمُ، ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَهُمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonoured them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

٢٥ 25 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُ: عِنْدَمَا أَجْمَعُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِيهِمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ،

Thus saith the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.

٢٦ 26 وَيَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا آمِنِينَ وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، وَيَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَمْنٍ عِنْدَمَا أُجْرِي أَحْكَامًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُبْغِضِيهِمْ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ».

Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
