فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ مَا تَجِدُهُ. كُلْ هَذَا ٱلدَّرْجَ، وَٱذْهَبْ كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». ١ 1
Then said he unto me, Son of man What thou findest, eat, —eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
فَفَتَحْتُ فَمِي فَأَطْعَمَنِي ذَلِكَ ٱلدَّرْجَ. ٢ 2
So I opened my mouth, —and he caused me to eat this roll.
وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَطْعِمْ بَطْنَكَ وَٱمْلَأْ جَوْفَكَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلدَّرْجِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا مُعْطِيكَهُ». فَأَكَلْتُهُ فَصَارَ فِي فَمِي كَٱلْعَسَلِ حَلَاوَةً. ٣ 3
Then said he unto me Son of man. Thy belly, cause thou to eat and thy bowels, fill thou with this roll which I am giving unto thee. So I did eat, and it became in my mouth, as honey for sweetness.
فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱذْهَبِ ٱمْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ بِكَلَامِي. ٤ 4
Then said he unto me, — Son of man Go get thee unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak with my words, unto them.
لِأَنَّكَ غَيْرُ مُرْسَلٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ غَامِضِ ٱللُّغَةِ وَثَقِيلِ ٱللِّسَانِ، بَلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥ 5
For not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue, art thou sent —[but] unto the house of Israel:
لَا إِلَى شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ غَامِضَةِ ٱللُّغَةِ وَثَقِيلَةِ ٱللِّسَانِ لَسْتَ تَفْهَمُ كَلَامَهُمْ. فَلَوْ أَرْسَلْتُكَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ لَسَمِعُوا لَكَ. ٦ 6
not unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, —surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.
لَكِنَّ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَشَاءُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَشَاؤُونَ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لِي. لِأَنَّ كُلَّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ صِلَابُ ٱلْجِبَاهِ وَقُسَاةُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ. ٧ 7
But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, —for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ وَجْهَكَ صُلْبًا مِثْلَ وُجُوهِهِمْ، وَجَبْهَتَكَ صُلْبَةً مِثْلَ جِبَاهِهِمْ، ٨ 8
Lo! I have made thy face bold like as their faces, and thy forehead bold like as their forehead.
قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جَبْهَتَكَ كَٱلْمَاسِ أَصْلَبَ مِنَ ٱلصَّوَّانِ، فَلَا تَخَفْهُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ مِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ». ٩ 9
As an adamant harder than flint, have I made thy forehead, —thou shalt not fear them neither shalt thou be dismayed at their faces, For a perverse house, they are!
وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلُّ ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ، أَوْعِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ وَٱسْمَعْهُ بِأُذُنَيْكَ. ١٠ 10
Then said he unto me, — Son of man. All my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive thou into thy heart and in thine ears, hear thou:
وَٱمْضِ ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، إِلَى بَنِي شَعْبِكَ، وَكَلِّمْهُمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا». ١١ 11
then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the sons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.
ثُمَّ حَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ، فَسَمِعْتُ خَلْفِي صَوْتَ رَعْدٍ عَظِيمٍ: «مُبَارَكٌ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ». ١٢ 12
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, — Blessed be the glory of Yahweh. From his place!
وَصَوْتَ أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْمُتَلَاصِقَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدُ بِأَخِيهِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا وَصَوْتَ رَعْدٍ عَظِيمٍ. ١٣ 13
Yea the sound of the wings of the living ones, gently touching each other, and the sound of the wheels, along with them, even the sound of a great rushing.
فَحَمَلَنِي ٱلرُّوحُ وَأَخَذَنِي، فَذَهَبْتُ مُرًّا فِي حَرَارَةِ رُوحِي، وَيَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَتْ شَدِيدَةً عَلَيَّ. ١٤ 14
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, —and I went bitterly, in the rage of my spirit, but the hand of Yahweh upon me was strong.
فَجِئْتُ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ عِنْدَ تَلِّ أَبِيبَ، ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عْنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ. وَحَيْثُ سَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ سَكَنْتُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَحَيِّرًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. ١٥ 15
Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,
وَكَانَ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَارَتْ إِلَيَّ قَائِلَةً: ١٦ 16
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came unto me saying
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ رَقِيبًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱسْمَعِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ فَمِي وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِي. ١٧ 17
Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee to the house of Israel, —and thou shalt hear, at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
إِذَا قُلْتُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ، وَمَا أَنْذَرْتَهُ أَنْتَ وَلَا تَكَلَّمْتَ إِنْذَارًا لِلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ لِإِحْيَائِهِ، فَذَلِكَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ. ١٨ 18
When I say to the lawless man— Thou shalt surely die, and thou hast not given him warning, neither hast spoken to warn the lawless man from his lawless way, to save himself alive the same lawless man in his iniquity shall die, but his blood, at thy hand, will I require.
وَإِنْ أَنْذَرْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ شَرِّهِ وَلَا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ بِإِثْمِهِ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقَدْ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسَكَ. ١٩ 19
Whereas when thou hast warned a lawless man, and he hath not turned from his lawlessness and from his lawless way he in his iniquity shall die, but Thou hast delivered thine own soul.
وَٱلْبَارُّ إِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ بِرِّهِ وَعَمِلَ إِثْمًا وَجَعَلْتُ مُعْثِرَةً أَمَامَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ. لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُ، يَمُوتُ فِي خَطِيَّتِهِ وَلَا يُذْكَرُ بِرُّهُ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، أَمَّا دَمُهُ فَمِنْ يَدِكَ أَطْلُبُهُ. ٢٠ 20
And when a righteous man hath turned from his righteousness, and committed perversity, and I have suffered a stumbling- block to be laid before him he shall die, —though thou hast not warned him, in his sin, shall he die, neither shall be remembered his righteous deeds which he hath done, but his blood, at thy hand will I require;
وَإِنْ أَنْذَرْتَ أَنْتَ ٱلْبَارَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ ٱلْبَارُّ، وَهُوَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ، فَإِنَّهُ حَيَاةً يَحْيَا لِأَنَّهُ أُنْذِرَ، وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ قَدْ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسَكَ». ٢١ 21
whereas when Thou hast warned a righteous man. That a righteous man must not sin and he hath not sinned, he shall surely live in that he took warning, and thou hast delivered thine own soul.
وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ، وَقَالَ لِي: «قُمُ ٱخْرُجْ إِلَى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ وَهُنَاكَ أُكَلِّمُكَ». ٢٢ 22
Then came upon me there the hand of Yahweh, —and he said unto me, Arise go forth into the valley, and there, will I speak with thee.
فَقُمْتُ وَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ، وَإِذَا بِمَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفٌ هُنَاكَ كَٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ عِنْدَ نَهْرِ خَابُورَ، فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي. ٢٣ 23
So I arose and went forth into the valley, and lo! there the glory of Yahweh, standing, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar, -and I fell upon my face.
فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ، ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «اِذْهَبْ أَغْلِقْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِكَ. ٢٤ 24
Then the Spirit entered into me, and caused me to stand upon my feet, —and he spake with me and said unto me, Go in shut thyself up, in the midst of thine own house,
وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَهَا هُمْ يَضَعُونَ عَلَيْكَ رُبُطًا وَيُقَيِّدُونَكَ بِهَا، فَلَا تَخْرُجُ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. ٢٥ 25
And thou—O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith, -. so that thou go not forth in their midst;
وَأُلْصِقُ لِسَانَكَ بِحَنَكِكَ فَتَبْكَمُ، وَلَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ رَجُلًا مُوَبِّخًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ. ٢٦ 26
thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, — For a perverse house, they are!
فَإِذَا كَلَّمْتُكَ أَفْتَحُ فَمَكَ فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيَسْمَعْ، وَمَنْ يَمْتَنِعْ فَلْيَمْتَنِعْ. لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ». ٢٧ 27
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, —He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!
