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 you, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus says the Lord; Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet you are man and not God, though you have set your heart as the heart of God:

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

are you wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed you with their knowledge?

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

Hast you gained power for yourself by your [own] knowledge or your [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in your treasures?

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

By your abundant knowledge and your traffic you have multiplied your power; your heart has been lifted up by your power.

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

Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you have set your 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 you strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against you, and against the beauty of your knowledge,

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

and they shall bring down your beauty to destruction. And they shall bring you down; and you shall 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!

Will you indeed say, I am God, before them that kill you? whereas you are man, and not God.

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

You shall perish by the hands of strangers amongst the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, says 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 says the Lord God; You are 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.

You were in the delight of the paradise of God; you have bound upon you 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 you have filled your treasures and your stores in you with gold.

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

From the day that you were created you [was] with the cherub: I set you on the holy mount of God; you were in the midst of the stones of fire.

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

You were faultless in your days, from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you.

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

Of the abundance of your merchandise you have filled your storehouses with iniquity, and have sinned: therefore you have been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought you 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.

Your heart has been lifted up because of your beauty; your knowledge has been corrupted with your beauty: because of the multitude of your sins I have cast you to the ground, I have caused you 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 your sins and the iniquities of your merchandise, I have profaned your sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of you, this shall devour you; and I will make you [to be] ashes upon your land before all that see you.

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

And all that know you amongst the nations shall groan over you: you are gone to destruction, and you shall 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 your 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 says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in you; and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgements in you, and I will be sanctified in you.

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 your streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in you and on every side of you; 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 says the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, amongst whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified amongst 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».

Yes, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgement 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.
