Ezekiel 8

وَكَانَ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّادِسَةِ، فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّادِسِ، فِي الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي بَيْتِي، وَمَشَايِخُ يَهُوذَا جَالِسُونَ أَمَامِي، أَنَّ يَدَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ هُنَاكَ.

And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا شِبْهٌ كَمَنْظَرِ نَارٍ، مِنْ مَنْظَرِ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى تَحْتُ نَارٌ، وَمِنْ حَقْوَيْهِ إِلَى فَوْقُ كَمَنْظَرِ لَمَعَانٍ كَشِبْهِ النُّحَاسِ اللاَّمِعِ.

Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

وَمَدَّ شِبْهَ يَدٍ وَأَخَذَنِي بِنَاصِيَةِ رَأْسِي، وَرَفَعَنِي رُوحٌ بَيْنَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، وَأَتَى بِي فِي رُؤَى اللهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى مَدْخَلِ الْبَابِ الدَّاخِلِيِّ الْمُتَّجِهِ نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ، حَيْثُ مَجْلِسُ تِمْثَالِ الْغَيْرَةِ، الْمُهَيِّجِ الْغَيْرَةِ.

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

وَإِذَا مَجْدُ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُنَاكَ مِثْلُ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَأَيْتُهَا فِي الْبُقْعَةِ.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الشِّمَالِ». فَرَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا مِنْ شِمَالِيِّ بَابِ الْمَذْبَحِ تِمْثَالُ الْغَيْرَةِ هذَا فِي الْمَدْخَلِ.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الْعَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَامِلُهَا هُنَا لإِبْعَادِي عَنْ مَقْدِسِي. وَبَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ».

He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِي إِلَى بَابِ الدَّارِ، فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا ثَقْبٌ فِي الْحَائِطِ.

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْقُبْ فِي الْحَائِطِ». فَنَقَبْتُ فِي الْحَائِطِ، فَإِذَا بَابٌ.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

وَقَالَ لِي: «ادْخُلْ وَانْظُرِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الشِّرِّيرَةَ الَّتِي هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا هُنَا».

And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

فَدَخَلْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا كُلُّ شَكْلِ دَبَّابَاتٍ وَحَيَوَانٍ نَجِسٍ، وَكُلُّ أَصْنَامٍ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ عَلَى دَائِرِهِ.

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

وَوَاقِفٌ قُدَّامَهَا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلاً مِنْ شُيُوخِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَيَازَنْيَا بْنُ شَافَانَ قَائِمٌ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجْمَرَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَعِطْرُ عَنَانِ الْبَخُورِ صَاعِدٌ.

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا تَفْعَلُهُ شُيُوخُ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الظَّلاَمِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مَخَادِعِ تَصَاوِيرِهِ؟ لأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: الرَّبُّ لاَ يَرَانَا! الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَرَكَ الأَرْضَ!».

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

وَقَالَ لِي: «بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ هُمْ عَامِلُوهَا».

He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي مِنْ جِهَةِ الشِّمَالِ، وَإِذَا هُنَاكَ نِسْوَةٌ جَالِسَاتٌ يَبْكِينَ عَلَى تَمُّوزَ.

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

فَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ هذَا يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ؟ بَعْدُ تَعُودُ تَنْظُرُ رَجَاسَاتٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هذِهِ».

Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

فَجَاءَ بِي إِلَى دَارِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَ بَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، بَيْنَ الرِّوَاقِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، نَحْوُ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً ظُهُورُهُمْ نَحْوَ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَوُجُوهُهُمْ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ، وَهُمْ سَاجِدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ نَحْوَ الشَّرْقِ.

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

وَقَالَ لِي: «أَرَأَيْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ؟ أَقَلِيلٌ لِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا عَمَلُ الرَّجَاسَاتِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا هُنَا؟ لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ مَلأُوا الأَرْضَ ظُلْمًا وَيَعُودُونَ لإِغَاظَتِي، وَهَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ الْغُصْنَ إِلَى أَنْفِهِمْ.

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أُعَامِلُ بِالْغَضَبِ، لاَ تُشْفُقُ عَيْنِي وَلاَ أَعْفُو. وَإِنْ صَرَخُوا فِي أُذُنَيَّ بِصَوْتٍ عَال لاَ أَسْمَعُهُمْ».

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
