1 A lso you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord.

يا إنْسانُ، تَنَبَّأ عَلَى جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ وَقُلْ: «اسْمَعْنَ يا جِبالَ إسْرائِيلَ كَلامَ اللهِ.

2 T hus says the Lord God: Because the enemy has said over you, Aha! and, The ancient heights have become our possession,

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹سَخِرَ العَدُوُّ بِكُمْ وَقالَ: قَدْ صارَتْ هَذِهِ الجِبالُ وَالمُرتَفَعاتُ مُلكاً لَنا.

3 T herefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God: Because, yes, because they made you a desolation, and they snapped after and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and you became the talk and evil gossip of the people,

فَلِأنَّهُمْ قالُوا هَذا، تَنَبَّأْ وَقُلْ: هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: قَدْ دَمَّرَكُمُ الَّذِينَ حَولَكُمْ وَسَحَقُوكُمْ لإعطائِكُمْ مُلكاً لِبَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ. فَصِرتُمْ مَوضُوعَ حَدِيثٍ وَنَمِيمَةٍ وَذَوِي سُمعَةٍ سَيِّئَةٍ.

4 T herefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate wastes and the cities that are forsaken, that have become a prey and derision to the rest of the nations that are round about;

وَلِذا، استَمِعِي يا جِبالَ إسْرائِيلَ إلَى رِسالَةِ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: يَتَكَلَّمُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ للِجِبالِ وَالتِّلالِ وَالجَداوِلِ وَالأودِيَةِ وَالخرائِبِ وَالمُدُنِ المَهجُورَةِ الَّتِي تَعَرَّضَتْ لِلنَّهبِ وَالِاستِهزاءِ مِنَ الأُمَمِ المُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ،

5 T herefore thus says the Lord God: Surely in the fire of My hot jealousy have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have given to themselves My land with wholehearted joy and with uttermost contempt, that they might empty it out and possess it for a prey and a spoil.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: أُقسِمُ بِغِيرَتِي ضِدَّ الأُمَمِ المُحِيطَةِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ أدُومَ الَّذِينَ أخَذُوا أرْضِي بِسُخْرِيَةٍ وَاستَهزاءٍ لِيَستَخدِمُوها لِرَعيِ حَيَواناتِهِمْ.›

6 P rophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have suffered the shame and reproach of the nations;

«لِهَذا تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أرْضِ إسْرائِيلَ وَقُلْ لِلجِبالِ وَالتِّلالِ وَالجَداوِلِ وَالوِديانِ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: لِإنَّكُمْ تَعَرَّضتُمْ لِهَذا الإذلالِ مِنَ الأُمَمِ، فَإنِّي الآنَ أتَكَلَّمُ بِكُلِّ غِيْرَتِي وَغَضَبِي.»

7 T herefore thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up My hand and sworn, Surely the nations that are round about you shall themselves suffer shame and reproach.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أرفَعُ يَدِي وَأُقسِمُ بِأنَّ الأُمَمَ المُحِيطَةَ بِكُمْ سَتُذَلُّ بِشَكلٍ كامِلٍ.

8 B ut you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are soon to come.

«وَأنْتِ يا جِبالَ إسْرائِيلَ، سَتَزرَعِينَ أشجاراً وَتَحمِلِينَ ثِماراً لِشَعبِي إسْرائِيلَ الَّذِي سَيَعُودُ سَرِيعاً.

9 F or behold, I am for you and I will turn to you; and you shall be tilled and sown,

فَأنا مَعَكُمْ. سَأنتَبِهُ إلَيكُمْ، وَأعتَنِي بِكُمْ، فَتَحْرَثُونَ وَتُزْرَعُونَ.

10 A nd I will multiply men upon you, the whole house of Israel, even all of it; the cities shall be inhabited and the waste places shall be rebuilt,

سَأُضاعِفُ سُكّانِ بَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ. وَسَتُسكَنُ مُدُنُكُمْ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ، وَيُعادُ بِناءُ خَرائِبِكُمْ!

11 A nd I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful. And I will cause you to be inhabited according to your former estate and I will do better for you than at your beginnings; and you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

سَأُكَثِّرُ البَشَرَ وَالحَيَواناتِ لَدَيكُمْ، فَيُثمِرونَ وَيَكثُرُونَ. سَتَسكُنُونَ فِي أرْضِكُمْ، وَسَتَنالُونَ مِنْ خَيرِي ما لَمْ تَنالوهُ مِنْ قَبلُ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.

12 Y es, I will cause men to walk upon you, even My people Israel, and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance; and you shall no more after this bereave them of children.

سَأقُودُ كَثِيرينَ مِنْ شَعبِي إسرائِيلَ إلَيكِ يا جِبالَ إسرائِيلَ، فَيَمتَلِكُونَكِ وَتَصِيرِينَ مِيراثاً لَهُمْ. وَلَنْ يُعُودُا مَحرُومِينَ منْ أبنائِهِمْ.»

13 T hus says the Lord God: Because they say to you, You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children,

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «قالَ العَدُوُّ لَكِ يا أرْضَ إسْرائِيلَ: ‹أنتِ تَلتَهِمِينَ سُكّانَكِ، وَقَدْ أفقَدتِ شَعبَكِ أولادَهُ.›

14 T herefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation or cause it to stumble any more, says the Lord God.

وَلِذا لَنْ تَعُودِي آكِلَةً لِلبَشَرِ فِيما بَعْدُ، وَلَنْ تَعُودِي تَحرِمِينَ شَعْبَكِ مِنْ أولادِهِمْ. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ.

15 N either will I let you hear any more the reproach of the nations, nor shall you suffer the dishonor of the peoples any more, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble and fall any more, says the Lord God.

لَنْ تَسمَعُوا تَعيِيراتِ الأُمَمِ فِيما بَعدُ، وَلَنْ تَحمِلُوا ذُلَّ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى، وَلَنْ تَعُودُوا تَضَعُونَ العَثراتِ أمامَ أُمَّتِكُمْ. يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.» حِمايَةُ اللهِ لِكَرامَةِ اسمِه

16 M oreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

وَأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

17 S on of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings. Their conduct before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman during her impurity.

«يا إنْسانُ، حِينَ كانَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ يَسكُنُونَ فِي أرْضِهِمْ، نَجَّسُوها بِالطَّرِيقَةِ الَّتِي عاشُوا بِها وَبِالشُّرُورِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها. عاشُوا مِثلَ امْرأةٍ فِي فَترَةِ حَيضِها.

18 S o I poured out My wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land and for their idols with which they had defiled it.

فَسَكَبْتُ كُلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيهِمْ بِسَبَبِ الدَّمِ الَّذِي سَفَكُوهُ وَبِسَبَبِ الأصنامِ القَذِرَةِ الَّتِي نَجَّسُوا أنفُسَهُمْ بِها.

19 A nd I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries; according to their conduct and their deeds I judged and punished them.

وَلِذا أدَنتُهُمْ عَلَى سُلُوكِهِمْ وَأعمالِهِمْ، فَشَتَّتُّهُمْ بَينَ الأُمَمِ، وَفَرَّقْتُهُمْ فِي البِلادِ.

20 A nd when they came to the nations to which they went, they profaned My holy name in that men said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and yet they had to go forth out of His land.

وَحِينَ صارُوا بَينَ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، نَجَّسُوا اسْمِي وَقلَّلُوا مِنْ قَدرِهِ. حَدَثَ هَذا حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ النّاسُ عَنهُمْ فَقالُوا: ‹هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ شَعبُ اللهِ ، فَلِماذا إذاً تَرَكُوا أرْضَهُ؟›

21 B ut I had regard, concern, and compassion for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they went.

فَانْزَعَجْتُ لأجلِ اسْمِي الَّذِي نَجَّسَهُ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَشَتَّتُوا فِي وَسَطِها.»

22 T herefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations to which you went.

«لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ: هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹يا بَني إسْرائِيلَ، لَمْ أجعَلْكُمْ أُمَّةً لأجلِ أنفُسِكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ لأجلِ اسْمِي المُقَدَّسِ الَّذِي نَجَّستُمُوهُ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي ذَهَبتُمْ إلَيها.

23 A nd I will vindicate the holiness of My great name and separate it for its holy purpose from all that defiles it—My name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them—and the nations will know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord, when I shall be set apart by you and My holiness vindicated in you before their eyes and yours.

وَلِذا سَأعُودُ فَأُقَدِّسُ اسْمِي العَظِيمَ الَّذِي تَنَجَّسَ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ، وَالَّذِي نَجَّستُمُوهُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَتَعرِفُ تِلكَ الأُمَمُ أنِّي أنا اللهُ ، حِينَ أتَقَدَّسُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ أمامَهُمْ. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

24 F or I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land.

حِينَئِذٍ، سَآخُذُكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ، وَسَأجمَعُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ تِلكَ الأراضِي وَأُحضِرُكُمْ إلَى أرْضِكُمْ.

25 T hen will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

حِينَئِذٍ، سَأرُشُّ عَلَيكُمْ ماءً، فَتُطَهَّرُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَجاسَتِكُمْ، وَسَأُطَهِّرُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أصنامِكُمِ القَذِرَةِ.

26 A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

وَسَأُعطِيكُمْ قَلباً جَدِيداً، وَسَأضَعُ رُوحاً جَدِيدَةً فِي داخِلِكُمْ. سَأنزَعُ القَلبَ الحَجَرِيَّ مِنْ جِسمِكُمْ، وَأضَعُ مَكانَهُ قلباً لَحمِيّاً.

27 A nd I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.

سَأضَعُ رُوحِي فِي داخِلِكُمْ، لِكَي تَحيَوْا بِوَصايايَ وَتَحفَظُوا شَرائِعِي.

28 A nd you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

وَسَتَسكُنُونَ فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لِآبائِكُمْ. عِندَئِذٍ سَتَكُونُونَ شَعبِي، وسَأكُونُ أنا إلَهَكُمْ.

29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses, and I will call forth the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine on you.

وسَأُنقِذُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ النَّجاساتِ. وَسَأجمَعُ القَمحَ وَأُكثِّرُهُ، وَلَنْ أعُودَ أجلِبُ عَلَيكُمْ مَجاعاتٍ.

30 A nd I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may no more suffer the reproach and disgrace of famine among the nations.

سَأُكَثِّرُ ثَمَرَ الأشجارِ وَحَصادَ الحُقُولِ، فَلا تَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِخِزيِ المَجاعَةِ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ.

31 T hen you shall remember your own evil ways and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominable deeds.

فَحِينَ تَتَذَكَّرُونَ مَسالِكَكُمُ الشِّرِّيرَةَ وَأفعالَكُمُ السَّيِّئَةَ، وَسَتَنفُرُونَ مِنْ أنفُسِكُمْ بِسَبَبِ آثامِكُمْ وَأعمالِكُمُ الكَرِيهَةِ.›»

32 N ot for your sake do I do this, says the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your wicked ways, O house of Israel!

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «لَنْ أعمَلَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ لأجلِكُمْ. يَنْبَغِي أنْ تَخجَلُوا مِنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، يا بَيتَ إسْرائِيلَ.»

33 T hus says the Lord God: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities I will cause cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «حِينَ أُطَهِّرُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَخَطاياكُمْ، سَأُعِيدُكُمْ إلَى مُدُنِكُمْ ثانِيَةً، وَسَتُبنَى الخَرائِبُ،

34 A nd the desolate land shall be tilled, that which had lain desolate in the sight of all who passed by.

وَسَتُحرَثُ الأرْضُ المَهجُورَةُ، فَلا تَعُودُ خَراباً أمامَ جَميعِ العابِرِينَ بِها.

35 A nd they shall say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.

بَلْ سَيَقُولُ العابِرُونَ: ‹هَلْ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ هَذِهِ؟ أهِيَ الأرْضُ الَّتِي كانَتْ خَرِبَةً؟ وَهَلْ هَذِهِ الحُصُونُ، هِيَ المُدُنُ الَّتِي كانَتْ مَهجُورَةً وَمُدَمَّرَةً؟›

36 T hen the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

«حِينَئِذٍ، سَتَعرِفُ الأُمَمُ الباقِيَةُ حَولَكُمْ أنِّي أنا اللهَ قَدْ بَنَيْتُ وَزَرَعْتُ هَذِهِ الأرْضِ الخَرِبَةِ.» أنا اللهَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ.

37 T hus says the Lord God: For this also I will let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do it for them; I will increase their men like a flock.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَأجعَلُ بَني إسْرائِيلَ يَطلُبُونَ مِنِّي أنْ أُكَثِّرَهُمْ كَالخِرافِ.

38 L ike the flock of holy things for sacrifice, like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

سَيَكُونُونَ خِرافاً مُقَدَّسَةً، كَالخِرافِ الكَثيرَةِ فِي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ فِي مَواسِمِ الأعيادِ. سَتَمتَلِئُ المُدُنُ الخَرِبَةُ بِالخِرافِ البَشَرِيَّةِ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهَ قَدْ صَنَعتُ هَذا.»
