< حِزْقِيَال 21 >

وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ عَلَى ٱلْمَقَادِسِ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٢ 2
“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuaries; prophesy against the land of Israel.
وَقُلْ لِأَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكِ، وَأَسْتَلُّ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ فَأَقْطَعُ مِنْكِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ. ٣ 3
Say to the land of Israel, 'Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you! I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous person and the wicked person from you!
مِنْ حَيْثُ أَنِّي أَقْطَعُ مِنْكِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ، فَلِذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَشَرٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٤ 4
In order for me to cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you, my sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
فَيَعْلَمُ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، سَلَلْتُ سَيْفِي مِنْ غِمْدِهِ. لَا يَرْجِعُ أَيْضًا. ٥ 5
Then all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have drawn my sword from its sheath. It will no longer hold back!'
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَهَّدْ بِٱنْكِسَارِ ٱلْحَقَوَيْنِ، وَبِمَرَارَةٍ تَنَهَّدْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. ٦ 6
As for you, son of man, groan as your loins break! In bitterness groan before their eyes!
وَيَكُونُ إِذَا قَالُوا لَكَ: عَلَى مَ تَتَنَهَّدُ؟ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ: عَلَى ٱلْخَبَرِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءٍ فَيَذُوبُ كُلُّ قَلْبٍ، وَتَرْتَخِي كُلُّ ٱلْأَيْدِي، وَتَيْأَسُ كُلُّ رُوحٍ، وَكُلُّ ٱلرُّكَبِ تَصِيرُ كَٱلْمَاءِ، هَا هِيَ آتِيَةٌ وَتَكُونُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٧ 7
Then it will happen that they will ask you, 'For what reason are you groaning?' Then you will say, 'Because of the news that is coming, for every heart will faint away, and every hand will falter! Every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will flow like water. Behold! It is coming and it will be like this!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٨ 8
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قُلْ: سَيْفٌ سَيْفٌ حُدِّدَ وَصُقِلَ أَيْضًا. ٩ 9
“Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord says this: “Say: A sword! A sword! It will be sharpened and polished!
قَدْ حُدِّدَ لِيَذْبَحَ ذَبْحًا. قَدْ صُقِلَ لِكَيْ يَبْرُقَ. فَهَلْ نَبْتَهِجُ؟ عَصَا ٱبْنِي تَزْدَرِي بِكُلِّ عُودٍ. ١٠ 10
It will be sharpened in order to engage in great slaughter! It will be polished in order to be like lightning! Should we rejoice in my son's scepter? The coming sword hates every such rod!
وَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُ لِيُصْقَلَ لِكَيْ يُمْسَكَ بِٱلْكَفِّ. هَذَا ٱلسَّيْفُ قَدْ حُدِّدَ وَهُوَ مَصْقُولٌ لِكَيْ يُسَلَّمَ لِيَدِ ٱلْقَاتِلِ. ١١ 11
So the sword will be given to be polished, and then to be grasped by the hand! The sword is sharpened and it is polished and it is to be given into the hand of the one who kills!”'”
ٱصْرُخْ وَوَلْوِلْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ عَلَى شَعْبِي وَعَلَى كُلِّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَهْوَالٌ بِسَبَبِ ٱلسَّيْفِ تَكُونُ عَلَى شَعْبِي. لِذَلِكَ ٱصْفِقْ عَلَى فَخْذِكَ. ١٢ 12
Call for help and lament, son of man! For that sword has come against my people! It is against all the leaders of Israel. They are thrown against the sword with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh!
لِأَنَّهُ ٱمْتِحَانٌ. وَمَاذَا إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَيْضًا ٱلْعَصَا ٱلْمُزْدَرِيَةُ؟ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٣ 13
For there is a trial, but what if the scepter does not last?—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
فَتَنَبَّأْ أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ وَٱصْفِقْ كَفًّا عَلَى كَفٍّ، وَلْيُعَدِ ٱلسَّيْفُ ثَالِثَةً. هُوَ سَيْفُ ٱلْقَتْلَى، سَيْفُ ٱلْقَتْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْمُحِيقُ بِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
Now you, son of man, prophesy and hit your two hands together, for the sword will attack even a third time! A sword for the ones to be slaughtered! It is a sword for the many to be slaughtered, piercing them everywhere!
لِذَوَبَانِ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَتَكْثِيرِ ٱلْمَهَالِكِ، لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ سَيْفًا مُتَقَلِّبًا. آهِ! قَدْ جُعِلَ بَرَّاقًا. هُوَ مَصْقُولٌ لِلذَّبْحِ. ١٥ 15
In order to melt their hearts and to multiply their fallen, I have set the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Ah! It is made like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.
ٱنْضَمَّ يَمِّنِ، ٱنْتَصِبْ شَمِّلْ، حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ حَدُّكَ. ١٦ 16
You, sword! Strike to the right! Strike to the left! Go wherever your face is turned.
وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُصَفِّقُ كَفِّي عَلَى كَفِّي وَأُسَكِّنُ غَضَبِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ». ١٧ 17
For I will also hit my two hands together, and then I will bring my fury to rest! I, Yahweh, declare it!”
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ١٨ 18
The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
«وَأَنْتَ يَاٱبْنَ آدَمَ، عَيِّنْ لِنَفْسِكَ طَرِيقَيْنِ لِمَجِيءِ سَيْفِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ. مِنْ أَرْضٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَخْرُجُ ٱلِٱثْنَتَانِ. وَٱصْنَعْ صُوَّةً، عَلَى رَأْسِ طَرِيقِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱصْنَعْهَا. ١٩ 19
“Now you, son of man, assign two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to come. The two roads will start in the same land, and a signpost will mark one of them as leading to a city.
عَيِّنْ طَرِيقًا لِيَأْتِيَ ٱلسَّيْفُ عَلَى رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْمَنِيعَةِ. ٢٠ 20
Mark one road for the Babylonian army to come to Rabbah, the city of the Ammonites. Mark the other to lead the army to Judah and the city of Jerusalem, which is fortified.
لِأَنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدْ وَقَفَ عَلَى أُمِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ، عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلطَّرِيقَيْنِ لِيَعْرِفَ عِرَافَةً. صَقَلَ ٱلسِّهَامَ، سَأَلَ بِٱلتَّرَافِيمِ، نَظَرَ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِدِ. ٢١ 21
For the king of Babylon will stop at the crossroads, at the junction, in order to practice divination. He will shake some arrows and ask direction from some idols and he will examine a liver.
عَنْ يَمِينِهِ كَانَتِ ٱلْعِرَافَةُ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِوَضْعِ ٱلْمَجَانِقِ، لِفَتْحِ ٱلْفَمِ فِي ٱلْقَتْلِ، وَلِرَفْعِ ٱلصَّوْتِ بِٱلْهُتَافِ، لِوَضْعِ ٱلْمَجَانِقِ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْوَابِ، لِإِقَامَةِ مِتْرَسَةٍ لِبِنَاءِ بُرْجٍ. ٢٢ 22
In his right hand will be an omen about Jerusalem, to set battering rams against it, to open his mouth to order the slaughter, to sound a war cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect siege towers.
وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِثْلَ عِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ فِي عُيُونِهِمِ ٱلْحَالِفِينَ لَهُمْ حَلْفًا. لَكِنَّهُ يَذْكُرُ ٱلْإِثْمَ حَتَّى يُؤْخَذُوا. ٢٣ 23
It will seem to be a useless omen in the eyes of the ones in Jerusalem, those who had sworn an oath to the Babylonians! But the king will accuse them of violating their treaty in order to besiege them!
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ ذَكَّرْتُمْ بِإِثْمِكُمْ عِنْدَ ٱنْكِشَافِ مَعَاصِيكُمْ لِإِظْهَارِ خَطَايَاكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، فَمِنْ تَذْكِيرِكُمْ تُؤْخَذُونَ بِٱلْيَدِ. ٢٤ 24
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, making your transgressions to be revealed, so that in all your actions your sins will be seen— because you have done this you will be taken in hand.
«وَأَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّجِسُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ، رَئِيسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِي قَدْ جَاءَ يَوْمُهُ فِي زَمَانِ إِثْمِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ، ٢٥ 25
As for you, profane and wicked ruler of Israel, whose day of punishment has come, and whose time of committing iniquity has ended,
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْزِعِ ٱلْعَمَامَةَ. ٱرْفَعِ ٱلتَّاجَ. هَذِهِ لَا تِلْكَ. ٱرْفَعِ ٱلْوَضِيعَ، وَضَعِ ٱلرَّفِيعَ. ٢٦ 26
the Lord Yahweh says this to you: Remove the turban and take off the crown! Things will no longer be the same! Exalt the lowly and humble the exalted!
مُنْقَلِبًا، مُنْقَلِبًا، مُنْقَلِبًا أَجْعَلُهُ! هَذَا أَيْضًا لَا يَكُونُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ فَأُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ. ٢٧ 27
A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until the one comes who is assigned to execute judgment.
«وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَتَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فِي بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَفِي تَعْيِيرِهِمْ، فَقُلْ: سَيْفٌ، سَيْفٌ مَسْلُولٌ لِلذَّبْحِ! مَصْقُولٌ لِلْغَايَةِ لِلْبَرِيقِ. ٢٨ 28
So you, son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to the people of Ammon concerning their coming disgrace: A sword, a sword is drawn! It is sharpened for the slaughter in order to devour, so it will be like lightning!
إِذْ يَرَوْنَ لَكَ بَاطِلًا، إِذْ يَعْرِفُونَ لَكَ كَذِبًا، لِيَجْعَلُوكَ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ ٱلْقَتْلَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءَ يَوْمُهُمْ فِي زَمَانِ إِثْمِ ٱلنِّهَايَةِ. ٢٩ 29
While prophets see empty visions for you, while they perform rituals to come up with lies for you, this sword will lie on the necks of the wicked who are about to be killed, whose day of punishment has come and whose time of iniquity is about to end.
فَهَلْ أُعِيدُهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ؟ أَلَا فِي ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي خُلِقْتِ فِيهِ فِي مَوْلِدِكِ أُحَاكِمُكِ! ٣٠ 30
Return the sword to its sheath. In the place of your creation, in the land of your origin, I will judge you!
وَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْكِ غَضَبِي، وَأَنْفُخُ عَلَيْكِ بِنَارِ غَيْظِي، وَأُسَلِّمُكِ لِيَدِ رِجَالٍ مُتَحَرِّقِينَ مَاهِرِينَ لِلْإِهْلَاكِ. ٣١ 31
I will pour out my indignation on you! I will fan the fire of my rage against you and put you into the hand of cruel men, craftsmen of destruction!
تَكُونِينَ أُكْلَةً لِلنَّارِ. دَمُكِ يَكُونُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا تُذْكَرِينَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ». ٣٢ 32
You will become fuel for the fire! Your blood will be in the midst of the land. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh have declared this!'”
