حِزْقِيَال 5

١ 1 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ سِكِّينًا حَادًّا، مُوسَى ٱلْحَلَّاقِ تَأْخُذُ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَأَمْرِرْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِكَ وَعَلَى لِحْيَتِكَ. وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ مِيزَانًا لِلْوَزْنِ وَٱقْسِمْهُ،

“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.

٢ 2 وَأَحْرِقْ بِٱلنَّارِ ثُلُثَهُ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا تَمَّتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْحِصَارِ. وَخُذْ ثُلُثًا وَٱضْرِبْهُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ حَوَالَيْهِ، وَذَرِّ ثُلُثًا إِلَى ٱلرِّيحِ، وَأَنَا أَسْتَلُّ سَيْفًا وَرَاءَهُمْ.

Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.

٣ 3 وَخُذْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا بِٱلْعَدَدِ وَصُرَّهُ فِي أَذْيَالِكَ.

But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.

٤ 4 وَخُذْ مِنْهُ أَيْضًا وَأَلْقِهِ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلنَّارِ، وَأَحْرِقْهُ بِٱلنَّارِ. مِنْهُ تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ عَلَى كُلِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”

٥ 5 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ أُورُشَلِيمُ. فِي وَسْطِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ قَدْ أَقَمْتُهَا وَحَوَالَيْهَا ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.

٦ 6 فَخَالَفَتْ أَحْكَامِي بِأَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَفَرَائِضِي بِأَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي حَوَالَيْهَا، لِأَنَّ أَحْكَامِي رَفَضُوهَا وَفَرَائِضِي لَمْ يَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا.

But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”

٧ 7 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ ضَجَجْتُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوَالَيْكُمْ، وَلَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي، وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِي، وَلَا عَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوَالَيْكُمْ،

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا إِنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا عَلَيْكِ، وَسَأُجْرِي فِي وَسْطِكِ أَحْكَامًا أَمَامَ عُيُونِ ٱلْأُمَمِ،

therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.

٩ 9 وَأَفْعَلُ بِكِ مَا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ، وَمَا لَنْ أَفْعَلَ مِثْلَهُ بَعْدُ، بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ أَرْجَاسِكِ.

I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.

١٠ 10 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَأْكُلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ ٱلْأَبْنَاءَ فِي وَسْطِكِ، وَٱلْأَبْنَاءُ يَأْكُلُونَ آبَاءَهُمْ. وَأُجْرِي فِيكِ أَحْكَامًا، وَأُذَرِّي بَقِيَّتَكِ كُلَّهَا فِي كُلِّ رِيحٍ.

Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.

١١ 11 مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَيٌّ أَنَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكِ قَدْ نَجَّسْتِ مَقْدِسِي بِكُلِّ مَكْرُهَاتِكِ وَبِكُلِّ أَرْجَاسِكِ، فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَجُزُّ وَلَا تُشْفُقُ عَيْنِي، وَأَنَا أَيْضًا لَا أَعْفُو.

Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.

١٢ 12 ثُلُثُكِ يَمُوتُ بِٱلْوَبَإِ، وَبِالْجُوعِ يَفْنَوْنَ فِي وَسْطِكِ. وَثُلُثٌ يَسْقُطُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ مِنْ حَوْلِكِ، وَثُلُثٌ أُذَرِّيهِ فِي كُلِّ رِيحٍ، وَأَسْتَلُّ سَيْفًا وَرَاءَهُمْ.

A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.

١٣ 13 وَإِذَا تَمَّ غَضَبِي وَأَحْلَلْتُ سَخَطِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَتَشَفَّيْتُ، يَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ فِي غَيْرَتِي، إِذَا أَتْمَمْتُ سَخَطِي فِيهِمْ.

Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.

١٤ 14 وَأَجْعَلُكِ خَرَابًا وَعَارًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوَالَيْكِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْ كُلِّ عَابِرٍ،

I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.

١٥ 15 فَتَكُونِينَ عَارًا وَلَعْنَةً وَتَأْدِيبًا وَدَهَشًا لِلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوَالَيْكِ، إِذَا أَجْرَيْتُ فِيكِ أَحْكَامًا بِغَضَبٍ وَبِسَخَطٍ وَبِتَوْبِيخَاتٍ حَامِيَةٍ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!

١٦ 16 إِذَا أَرْسَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ سِهَامَ ٱلْجُوعِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ لِلْخَرَابِ ٱلَّتِي أُرْسِلُهَا لِخَرَابِكُمْ، وَأَزِيدُ ٱلْجُوعَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَأُكَسِّرُ لَكُمْ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ،

I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.

١٧ 17 وَإِذَا أَرْسَلْتُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْجُوعَ وَٱلْوُحُوشَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ فَتُثْكِلُكِ، وَيَعْبُرُ فِيكِ ٱلْوَبَأُ وَٱلدَّمُ، وَأَجْلُبُ عَلَيْكِ سَيْفًا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمْتُ».

I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
