حِزْقِيَال 8

١ 1 وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّادِسَةِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّادِسِ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِي، وَمَشَايِخُ يَهُوذَا جَالِسُونَ أَمَامِي، أَنَّ يَدَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ.

And it cometh to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and elders of Judah are sitting before me, and fall on me there doth a hand of the Lord Jehovah,

٢ 2 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا شِبْهٌ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ، مِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى تَحْتُ نَارٌ، وَمِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ كَمَنْظَرِ لَمَعَانٍ كَشِبْهِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱللّاَمِعِ.

and I look, and lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward — fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of copper.

٣ 3 وَمَدَّ شِبْهَ يَدٍ وَأَخَذَنِي بِنَاصِيَةِ رَأْسِي، وَرَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى ٱللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى مَدْخَلِ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلدَّاخِلِيِّ ٱلْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، حَيْثُ مَجْلِسُ تِمْثَالِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ، ٱلْمُهَيِّجِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ.

And He putteth forth a form of a hand, and taketh me by a lock of my head, and lift me up doth a spirit between the earth and the heavens, and it bringeth me in to Jerusalem in visions of God, unto the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where [is] the seat of the figure of jealousy that is making jealous,

٤ 4 وَإِذَا مَجْدُ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَاكَ مِثْلُ ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا فِي ٱلْبُقْعَةِ.

and lo, there the honour of the God of Israel, as the appearance that I saw in the valley.

٥ 5 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ». فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا مِنْ شِمَالِيِّ بَابِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ تِمْثَالُ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ هَذَا فِي ٱلْمَدْخَلِ.

And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes the way of the north.' And I lift up mine eyes the way of the north, and lo, on the north of the gate of the altar this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.

٦ 6 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ ٱلَّتِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَامِلُهَا هُنَا لِإِبْعَادِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي. وَبَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ».

And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, art thou seeing what they are doing? the great abominations that the house of Israel are doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations.'

٧ 7 ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِي إِلَى بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا ثَقْبٌ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ.

And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I look, and lo, a hole in the wall;

٨ 8 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱنْقُبْ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ». فَنَقَبْتُ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ.

and He saith unto me, 'Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening.

٩ 9 وَقَالَ لِي: «ٱدْخُلْ وَٱنْظُرِ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةَ ٱلَّتِي هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا هُنَا».

And He saith to me, 'Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.'

١٠ 10 فَدَخَلْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا كُلُّ شَكْلِ دَبَّابَاتٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ نَجِسٍ، وَكُلُّ أَصْنَامٍ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ عَلَى دَائِرِهِ.

And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast — and all the Idols of the house of Israel — graved on the wall, all round about,

١١ 11 وَوَاقِفٌ قُدَّامَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَازَنْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَعِطْرُ عَنَانِ ٱلْبَخُورِ صَاعِدٌ.

and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel — and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst — are standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَخَادِعِ تَصَاوِيرِهِ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرَانَا! ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَرَكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ!».

And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man, that which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?'

١٣ 13 وَقَالَ لِي: «بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا».

And He saith unto me, 'Again thou dost turn, thou dost see great abominations that they are doing.'

١٤ 14 فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا هُنَاكَ نِسْوَةٌ جَالِسَاتٌ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى تَمُّوزَ.

And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the women are sitting weeping for Tammuz.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ».

And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? again thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.'

١٦ 16 فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ بَابِ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ ٱلرِّوَاقِ وَٱلْمَذْبَحِ، نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا ظُهُورُهُمْ نَحْوَ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ، وَهُمْ سَاجِدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.

١٧ 17 وَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَقَلِيلٌ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَمَلُ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا هُنَا؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ظُلْمًا وَيَعُودُونَ لِإِغَاظَتِي، وَهَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ٱلْغُصْنَ إِلَى أَنْفِهِمْ.

And He saith unto me, 'Hast thou seen, son of man? hath it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they are putting forth the branch unto their nose!

١٨ 18 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُعَامِلُ بِٱلْغَضَبِ، لَا تُشْفُقُ عَيْنِي وَلَا أَعْفُو. وَإِنْ صَرَخُوا فِي أُذُنَيَّ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ لَا أَسْمَعُهُمْ».

And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried in Mine ears — a loud voice — and I do not hear them.'
