حِزْقِيَال 28

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Yahweh’s word came again 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!

“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—

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

behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.

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

By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.

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

By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

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

“‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

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

therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.

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

They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.

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

Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

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

You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

١١ 11 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Moreover Yahweh’s word 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 over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in 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 Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.

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

You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.

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

You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.

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

By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle 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 was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

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

By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

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

All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, set your face toward 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, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.

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

For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

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

“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”

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،

“‘The Lord Yahweh says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own 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».

They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”’”
