حِزْقِيال 12

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَنْتَ مُقِيمٌ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ، لَهُمْ عُيُونٌ لِيَرَوْا وَلَكِنْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ، وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَلَكِنْ لَا يُصْغُونَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

“Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; they have ears to hear, and they have not heard; for they [are] a house of rebellion.

٣ 3 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَتَأَهَّبْ لِلسَّبْيِ وَاخْرُجْ نَهَاراً عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْهُمْ وَامْضِ مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْهَمُونَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

And you, son of man, make your vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and you have removed from your place to another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for they [are] a house of rebellion.

٤ 4 فَتُخْرِجُ مَتَاعَكَ، مَتَاعَ السَّفَرِ نَهَاراً عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ تُغَادِرُ أَنْتَ مَسَاءً أَمَامَهُمْ كَالذَّاهِبِينَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ.

And you have brought forth your vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and you go forth in the evening before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.

٥ 5 انْقُبْ لَكَ حَائِطاً أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَاخْرُجْ مِنْهُ.

You dig through the wall before their eyes, and you have brought forth by it.

٦ 6 وَعَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ احْمِلْ مَتَاعَكَ عَلَى كَتِفِكَ وَانْقُلْهُ عِنْدَ الْعَتْمَةِ. غَطِّ وَجْهَكَ لِكَيْ لَا تَرَى الأَرْضَ لأَنِّي جَعَلْتُكَ آيَةً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

Carry on the shoulder before their eyes, bring forth in the darkness, cover your face, and you do not see the earth, for I have given you [as] a sign to the house of Israel.”

٧ 7 فَفَعَلْتُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ نَهَاراً مَتَاعِي. وَعِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ نَقَبْتُ الْحَائِطَ بِيَدِي وَنَقَلْتُ أَحْمَالِي عَلَى كَتِفِي عِنْدَ الْعَتْمَةِ أَمَامَهُمْ.

And I do so, as I have been commanded; I have brought forth my vessels as vessels of removal by day, and I have dug through the wall with my hand in the evening; I have brought forth in the darkness, I have carried away on the shoulder, before their eyes.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ فِي الصَّبَاحِ أُعْلِنَتْ لِي كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the morning, saying,

٩ 9 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟

“Son of man, have they not said to you—the house of Israel—the house of rebellion—What are you doing?

١٠ 10 أَبْلِغْهُمْ مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: هَذِهِ نُبُوءَةٌ بِشَأْنِ رَئِيسِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكَافَّةِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

Say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.

١١ 11 قُلْ لَهُمْ: أَنَا آيَةٌ لَكُمْ. فَكَمَا صَنَعْتُ يُصْنَعُ بِهِمْ، فَيَذْهَبُونَ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَلاءِ وَإِلَى السَّبْيِ.

Say: I [am] your sign; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they go.

١٢ 12 وَيَحْمِلُ الرَّئِيسُ الْمُتَوَلِّي شُؤُونَهُمْ أَحْمَالَهُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ فِي الْعَتْمَةِ وَيَخْرُجُ. وَتُنْقَبُ لَهُ ثُغْرَةٌ فِي الْحَائِطِ لِيَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا وَهُوَ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ لِئَلّا يَرَى الأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ.

As for the prince who [is] in their midst, he carries on the shoulder in the darkness, and he goes forth; they dig through the wall to bring forth by it; he covers his face that he may not look on the very surface of the land.

١٣ 13 وَأَبْسُطُ شَبَكَتِي عَلَيْهِ فَيَقَعُ فِي شَرَكِي، وَأُحْضِرُهُ إِلَى بَابِلَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنْ لَنْ يَرَاهَا، هُنَاكَ يَمُوتُ.

And I have spread My net for him, and he has been caught in My snare, and I have brought him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and he does not see it—and he dies there.

١٤ 14 وَأُبَدِّدُ حَاشِيَتَهُ وَأَعْوَانَهُ وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَأَتَعَقَّبُهُمْ بِسَيْفٍ مَسْلُولٍ.

And all who are around him to help him, and all his bands, I scatter to every wind, and I draw out a sword after them.

١٥ 15 فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُشَتِّتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُبَدِّدُهُمْ فِي الْبِلادِ.

And they have known that I [am] YHWH, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;

١٦ 16 وَأُبْقِي عَلَى فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ مِنْهُمْ أُنَجِّيهَا مِنَ السَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ، لِكَيْ يُحَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي فَرَّقْتُهُمْ فِيهَا فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations to where they have come, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

١٨ 18 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ خُبْزَكَ بِارْتِعَاشٍ، وَاشْرَبْ مَاءَكَ بِارْتِعَادٍ وَخَوْفٍ،

“Son of man, eat your bread in haste, and drink your water with trembling and with fear;

١٩ 19 وَقُلْ لِشَعْبِ الأَرْضِ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: سَيَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزَهُمْ بِفَزَعٍ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مَاءَهُمْ بِارْتِعَادٍ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ تُقْفِرُ مِنْ قَاطِنِيهَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ ظُلْمِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا.

and you have said to the people of the land, Thus said Lord YHWH concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: They eat their bread with fear, and drink their water with astonishment, because its land is desolate, because of its fullness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.

٢٠ 20 وَيُصِيبُ الْمُدُنَ الآهِلَةَ الْخَرَابُ. وَتُوْحِشُ الأَرْضُ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”

٢١ 21 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢٢ 22 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَا هَذَا الْمَثَلُ الشَّائِعُ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقَائِلُ: قَدْ طَالَتِ الأَيَّامُ وَكَذِبَتْ كُلُّ رُؤْيَا؟

“Son of man, what [is] this allegory to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision has perished?

٢٣ 23 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا قَدْ أَبْطَلْتُ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ فَلا يَعُودُونَ يُرَدِّدُونَهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدْ أَزِفَتِ الأَيَّامُ وَحَانَ تَحْقِيقُ كَلامِ كُلِّ رُؤْيَا،

Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused this allegory to cease, And they do not use it as an allegory in Israel again, But speak to them: The days have drawn near, And every vision has spoken.

٢٤ 24 إِذْ لَنْ تَكُونَ بَعْدُ رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةٌ وَلا عِرَافَةٌ مُتَمَلِّقَةٌ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For there is no longer any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel.

٢٥ 25 لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي أَقْضِي بِها تَتِمُّ، مِنْ غَيْرِ مُمَاطَلَةٍ، بَلْ هَا أَنَا أَنْطِقُ بِقَضَائِي فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ وَأُنَفِّذُهُ فِي حِينِهِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

For I, YHWH, speak, The word that I speak—it is done, It is not prolonged anymore, For in your days, O house of rebellion, I speak a word, and I have done it, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”

٢٦ 26 ثُمَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢٧ 27 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَرَاهَا لَا تَتِمُّ إِلا بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَنُبُوءَتَكَ لَا تَتَحَقَّقُ إِلا فِي أَزْمِنَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ

“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he is seeing [is not] for many days, and he is prophesying of far-off times,

٢٨ 28 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لَنْ يَتَأَخَّرَ بَعْدُ تَنْفِيذُ كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كَلامِي الَّذِي قَضَيْتُ بِهِ، فَكُلُّ كَلِمَةٍ نَطَقْتُ بِها لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتِمَّ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: None of My words are prolonged anymore, When I speak a word—it is done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
