Ezekiel 24

وَكَانَ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ فِي السَّنَةِ التَّاسِعَةِ، فِي الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ، فِي الْعَاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَائِلاً:

Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، اكْتُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ اسْمَ الْيَوْمِ، هذَا الْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ. فَإِنَّ مَلِكَ بَابِلَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ هذَا الْيَوْمَ بِعَيْنِهِ.

Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.

وَاضْرِبْ مَثَلاً لِلْبَيْتِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: ضَعِ الْقِدْرَ. ضَعْهَا وَأَيْضًا صُبَّ فِيهَا مَاءً.

And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

اِجْمَعْ إِلَيْهَا قِطَعَهَا، كُلَّ قِطْعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ: الْفَخِذَ وَالْكَتِفَ. امْلأُوهَا بِخِيَارِ الْعِظَامِ.

Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

خُذْ مِنْ خِيَارِ الْغَنَمِ وَكُومَةَ الْعِظَامِ تَحْتَهَا. أَغْلِهَا إِغْلاَءً فَتُسْلَقَ أَيْضًا عِظَامُهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا.

Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

« لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ الدِّمَاءِ، الْقِدْرِ الَّتِي فِيهَا زِنْجَارُهَا، وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا زِنْجَارُهَا. أَخْرِجُوهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً. لاَ تَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا قُرْعَةٌ.

Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

لأَنَّ دَمَهَا فِي وَسْطِهَا. قَدْ وَضَعَتْهُ عَلَى ضِحِّ الصَّخْرِ. لَمْ تُرِقْهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِتُوَارَيهُ بِالتُّرَابِ.

For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

لِصُعُودِ الْغَضَبِ، لِتُنْقَمَ نَقْمَةً، وَضَعْتُ دَمَهَا عَلَى ضِحِّ الصَّخْرِ لِئَلاَّ يُوارَى.

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِمَدِينَةِ الدِّمَاءِ. إِنِّي أَنَا أُعَظِّمُ كُومَتَهَا.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

كَثِّرِ الْحَطَبَ، أَضْرِمِ النَّارَ، أَنْضِجِ اللَّحْمَ، تَبِّلْهُ تَتْبِيلاً، وَلْتُحْرَقِ الْعِظَامُ.

Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

ثُمَّ ضَعْهَا فَارِغَةً عَلَى الْجَمْرِ لِيَحْمَى نُحَاسُهَا وَيُحْرَقَ، فَيَذُوبَ قَذَرُهَا فِيهَا وَيَفْنَى زِنْجَارُهَا.

Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

بِمَشَقَّاتٍ تَعِبَتْ وَلَمْ تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا كَثْرَةُ زِنْجَارِهَا. فِي النَّارِ زِنْجَارُهَا.

She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

فِي نَجَاسَتِكِ رَذِيلَةٌ لأَنِّي طَهَّرْتُكِ فَلَمْ تَطْهُرِي، وَلَنْ تَطْهُرِي بَعْدُ مِنْ نَجَاسَتِكِ حَتَّى أُحِلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكِ.

In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

أَنَا الرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمْتُ. يَأْتِي فَأَفْعَلُهُ. لاَ أُطْلِقُ وَلاَ أُشْفِقُ وَلاَ أَنْدَمُ. حَسَبَ طُرُقِكِ وَحَسَبَ أَعْمَالِكِ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هأَنَذَا آخُذُ عَنْكَ شَهْوَةَ عَيْنَيْكَ بِضَرْبَةٍ، فَلاَ تَنُحْ وَلاَ تَبْكِ وَلاَ تَنْزِلْ دُمُوعُكَ.

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

تَنَهَّدْ سَاكِتًا. لاَ تَعْمَلْ مَنَاحَةً عَلَى أَمْوَاتٍ. لُفَّ عِصَابَتَكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَاجْعَلْ نَعْلَيْكَ فِي رِجْلَيْكَ، وَلاَ تُغَطِّ شَارِبَيْكَ، وَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ».

Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

فَكَلَّمْتُ الشَّعْبَ صَبَاحًا وَمَاتَتْ زَوْجَتِي مَسَاءً. وَفَعَلْتُ فِي الْغَدِ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ.

So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

فَقَالَ لِيَ الشَّعْبُ: «أَلاَ تُخْبِرُنَا مَا لَنَا وَهذِهِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ صَانِعُهَا؟»

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

فَأَجَبْتُهُمْ: «قَدْ كَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

كَلِّمْ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هأَنَذَا مُنَجِّسٌ مَقْدِسِي فَخْرَ عِزِّكُمْ، شَهْوَةَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَلَذَّةَ نُفُوسِكُمْ. وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمْ يَسْقُطُونَ بِالسَّيْفِ،

Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

وَتَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ: لاَ تُغَطُّونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ خُبْزِ النَّاسِ.

And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

وَتَكُونُ عَصَائِبُكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ، وَنِعَالُكُمْ فِي أَرْجُلِكُمْ. لاَ تَنُوحُونَ وَلاَ تَبْكُونَ وَتَفْنَوْنَ بِآثَامِكُمْ. تَئِنُّونَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

وَيَكُونُ حِزْقِيَالُ لَكُمْ آيَةً. مِثْلَ كُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ تَصْنَعُونَ. إِذَا جَاءَ هذَا، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَفَلاَ يَكُونُ فِي يَوْمٍ آخُذُ عَنْهُمْ عِزَّهُمْ، سُرُورَ فَخْرِهِمْ، شَهْوَةَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَرَفْعَةَ نَفْسِهِمْ: أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ،

Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

أَنْ يَأْتِيَ إِلَيْكَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الْمُنْفَلِتُ لِيُسْمِعَ أُذُنَيْكَ.

That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَنْفَتِحُ فَمُكَ لِلْمُنْفَلِتِ وَتَتَكَلَّمُ، وَلاَ تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدُ أَبْكَمَ. وَتَكُونُ لَهُمْ آيَةً، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
