Ezekiel 11

ثُمَّ رَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ وَأَتَى بِي إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الشَّرْقِيِّ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ الْبَابِ خَمْسَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلاً، وَرَأَيْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ عَزُورَ، وَفَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا رَئِيسَيِ الشَّعْبِ.
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هؤُلاَءِ هُمُ الرِّجَالُ الْمُفَكِّرُونَ بِالإِثْمِ، الْمُشِيرُونَ مَشُورَةً رَدِيئَةً فِي هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
اَلْقَائِلُونَ: مَا هُوَ قَرِيبٌ بِنَاءُ الْبُيُوتِ! هِيَ الْقِدْرُ وَنَحْنُ اللَّحْمُ.
Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
لأَجْلِ ذلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِمْ. تَنَبَّأْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ».
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
وَحَلَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِي: «قُلْ: هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: هكَذَا قُلْتُمْ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَا يَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكُمْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
قَدْ كَثَّرْتُمْ قَتْلاَكُمْ فِي هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلأْتُمْ أَزِقَّتَهَا بِالْقَتْلَى.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: قَتْلاَكُمُ الَّذِينَ طَرَحْتُمُوهُمْ فِي وَسْطِهَا هُمُ اللَّحْمُ وَهِيَ الْقِدْرُ. وَإِيَّاكُمْ أُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
قَدْ فَزِعْتُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، فَالسَّيْفُ أَجْلِبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
وَأُخْرِجُكُمْ مِنْ وَسْطِهَا وَأُسَلِّمُكُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي الْغُرَبَاءِ، وَأُجْرِي فِيكُمْ أَحْكَامًا.
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
بِالسَّيْفِ تَسْقُطُونَ. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
هذِهِ لاَ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِدْرًا، وَلاَ أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ اللَّحْمَ فِي وَسْطِهَا. فِي تُخْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمْ،
This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِهِ، وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا بِأَحْكَامِهِ، بَلْ عَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ أَحْكَامِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَكُمْ».
And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
وَكَانَ لَمَّا تَنَبَّأْتُ أَنَّ فَلَطْيَا بْنَ بَنَايَا مَاتَ. فَخَرَرْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَصَرَخْتُ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، هَلْ تُفْنِي أَنْتَ بَقِيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟».
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِخْوَتُكَ ذَوُو قَرَابَتِكَ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِأَجْمَعِهِ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ سُكَّانُ أُورُشَلِيمَ: ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِ الرَّبِّ. لَنَا أُعْطِيَتْ هذِهِ الأَرْضُ مِيرَاثًا.
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
لِذلِكَ قُلْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَبْعَدْتُهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ بَدَّدْتُهُمْ فِي الأَرَاضِي، فَإِنِّي أَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقْدِسًا صَغِيرًا فِي الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
لِذلِكَ قُلْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أَجْمَعُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأَحْشُرُكُمْ مِنَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي تَبَدَّدْتُمْ فِيهَا، وَأُعْطِيكُمْ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
فَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَيُزِيلُونَ جَمِيعَ مَكْرُهَاتِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ رَجَاسَاتِهَا مِنْهَا.
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا، وَأَجْعَلُ فِي دَاخِلِكُمْ رُوحًا جَدِيدًا، وَأَنْزِعُ قَلْبَ الْحَجَرِ مِنْ لَحْمِهِمْ وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبَ لَحْمٍ،
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
لِكَيْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَيَحْفَظُوا أَحْكَامِي وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا، وَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا، فَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلهًا.
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
أَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَلْبُهُمْ ذَاهِبٌ وَرَاءَ قَلْبِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ، فَإِنِّي أَجْلِبُ طَرِيقَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
ثُمَّ رَفَعَتِ الْكَرُوبِيمُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا وَالْبَكَرَاتِ مَعَهَا، وَمَجْدُ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فَوْقُ.
Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
وَصَعِدَ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ مِنْ عَلَى وَسْطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَرْقِيِّ الْمَدِينَةِ.
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
وَحَمَلَنِي رُوحٌ وَجَاءَ بِي فِي الرُّؤْيَا بِرُوحِ اللهِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ إِلَى الْمَسْبِيِّينَ، فَصَعِدَتْ عَنِّي الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا.
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
فَكَلَّمْتُ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ بِكُلِّ كَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهُ.
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
