1 ث ُمَ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

2 « يا إنْسانُ، فَهِّمِ مَدينَةَ القُدْسِ الفَظائِعَ الَتِي عَمِلَتها.

`Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and thou hast said:

3 ق ُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ لِلقُدسِ: ‹أصلُكَ وَمَكانُ وِلادَتِكَ هُوَ أرْضُ كَنعانَ. أبُوكِ أمُورِيٌ وَأُمُّكِ حِثِيَةٌ.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity of the land of the Canaanite, Thy father the Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.

4 ك ُنتِ كَطِفلٍ تَرَكَتْهُ أُمُّهُ حِينَ وُلِدَ. حِينَ وُلِدتِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ مَنْ يَقطَعُ حَبلَكِ السُرِّيَّ. لَمْ يَغسِلْكِ أحَدٌ للتَّطهِيرِ. لَمْ تُدَلَّكِي بِالمِلحِ، وَلَمْ تُقَمَّطِي.

As to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born, Thou -- thy navel hath not been cut, And in water thou wast not washed for ease, And thou hast not been salted at all, And thou hast not been swaddled at all.

5 ل َمْ يُبْدِ أحَدٌ أيَّ لُطفٍ نَحوَكِ بِعَمَلِ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ لَكِ. لَمْ يَكُنْ هُناكَ مَنْ يُشفِقُ عَلَيكِ. وَحِينَ وُلِدْتِ، أُلقِيْتِ فِي الحَقلِ مَرفُوضَةً.

No eye hath had pity on thee, to do to thee any of these, To have compassion on thee, And thou art cast on the face of the field, With loathing of thy person. In the day thou hast been born -- thou!

6 ث ُمَّ مَرَرتُ وَرَأيتُكِ مَطْرُوحَةً تَتَمَرَّغِينَ بِدَمِكِ. فَقُلْتُ لَكِ: «عِيشِي بِالرُّغْمِ مِنْ دَمِكِ! عِيشِي بِالرُّغْمِ مِنْ دَمِكِ!»

And I do pass over by thee, And I see thee trodden down in thy blood, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live.

7 ف َنَمَوتِ كَنَبتَةٍ فِي الحَقلِ. نَمَوتِ وَكَبُرتِ، وَصِرْتِ جَمِيلَةً جِدّاً، فَنَما صَدْرُكِ وَظَهَرَ شَعْرُكِ. لَكِنَّكِ كُنْتِ بِلا ثِيابٍ وَبِلا زِينَةٍ.

A myriad -- as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair hath grown -- And thou, naked and bare!

8 ت امَّلْتُ فَرَأيتُكِ ناضِجَةً لِلحُبِّ، فَتَزَوَّجتُكِ وَغَطَّيتُ عُريَكِ بِثَوبِي. وَعَدْتُ بِالارْتِباطِ بِكِ، وَدَخَلْتُ مَعَكِ فِي عَهْدِ، فَصِرتِ لِي. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَبُّ الإلهُ.

And I pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And thou dost become Mine.

9 ح ِينَئِذٍ، حَمَّمْتُكِ بِالماءِ وَغَسَلتُ دِماءَكِ، وَدَهَنْتُ جَسَدَكِ بِالزَّيتِ.

And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume.

10 ث ُمَّ ألبَسْتُكِ ثِياباً جَمِيلَةً، وَوَضَعتُ حِذاءً جِلدِيّاً ناعِماً فِي رِجلَيكِ. وَوَضَعتُ حِزاماً كِتّانِيّاً عَلَى خَصْرِكِ، وَبُرقُعاً حَرِيرِيّاً عَلَى رَأسِكِ.

And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk.

11 و َزَيَّنتُكِ بِالجَواهِرِ، فَوَضَعتُ أساوِرَ عَلَى يَدَيكِ، وَقِلادَةً حَولَ عُنُقِكِ،

And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for thy neck.

12 و َخاتَماً عَلَى أنفِكِ، وَحَلَقاً فِي أُذُنَيكِ، وَإكلِيلاً عَلَى رَأسِكِ.

And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on thy head.

13 ف َصِرتِ جَمِيلَةً جِدّاً! صِرتِ مُزَيَّنَةً بِالكامِلِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ وَالكِتّانِ وَالحَرِيرِ وَأجمَلِ الثِّيّابِ. أكَلتِ حَلوَى مِنْ أفضَلِ الدَّقِيقِ وَالعَسَلِ وَالزَّيتِ! كُنتِ جَمِيلَةً جِدّاً، وَكَأنَّكِ مَلِكَةٌ.

And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom.

14 و َقَدِ اشتَهَرَ جَمالُكِ جِدّاً وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ. كانَ جَمالُكِ عَظِيماً جِدّاً بِسَبَبِ مَجدِي الَّذِي جَعَلْتُهُ عَلَيكِ.›» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

And go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty -- for it complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

15 « وَلَكِنَّكِ بَدَأتِ تَتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى جَمالِكِ، وَتَستَخدِمِينَ سُمعَتَكِ فِي خِيانَتِكِ لِي. بَدَأتِ تَزْنِينَ وَتَبِيعِينَ نَفسَكِ لِكُلِّ عابِرِ سَبِيل.

And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every passer by -- to him it is.

16 أ خَذتِ ثِيابَكِ الجَمِيلَةَ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لَكِ، وَزَيَنْتِ بِها مَعابِدَكِ، حَيثُ تَمارِسينَ دَعارَتَكِ. لَمْ يَحدُثْ مِثلُ هَذا قّطُّ وَلَنْ يَحدَثَ فِيما بَعْدُ!

And thou dost take of thy garments, And dost make to thee spotted high-places, And dost go a-whoring upon them, They are not coming in -- nor shall it be!

17 ث ُمَّ أخَذتِ الزِّينَةَ المَصنُوعَةَ مِنْ ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي وَصَنَعتِ لِنَفسِكِ مِنها تَماثِيلَ ذُكُورٍ وَزَنَيتِ مَعَهُمْ.

And thou dost take thy beauteous vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to thee, And dost make to thee images of a male, And dost go a-whoring with them,

18 و َأخَذتِ الثِّيابَ الجَمِيلَةَ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لَكِ وَصَنَعتِ مِنها ثِياباً لِأصنامِكِ. وَأخَذتِ زَيتِي وَبَخُورِي وَقَدَّمتِها لِتِلكَ الأصنامِ.

And dost take the garments of thy embroidery, And thou dost cover them, And My oil and My perfume thou hast set before them.

19 و َأخَذتِ الطَعامَ الَّذِّي أعطَيتُهُ لَكِ: الدَّقِيقَ وَالزَّيتَ وَالعَسَلَ الَّتِي أطعَمتُكِ إيّاها، وَقَدَّمتِها لِلأصنامِ كَرائِحَةٍ مُسِرَّةٍ لَها!» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

And My bread, that I gave to thee, Fine flour, and oil, and honey, that I caused thee to eat. Thou hast even set it before them, For a sweet fragrance -- thus it is, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

20 أ خَذتِ الأولادَ وَالبَناتِ الَّذِينَ وَلَدتِهِمْ لِي وَقَدَّمتِهِمْ طَعاماً لِتِلكَ الأصنامِ. فَكأنَّ شَرَّ عُهرِكِ لا يَكفِي.

And thou dost take thy sons and thy daughters Whom thou hast born to Me, And dost sacrifice them to them for food. Is it a little thing because of thy whoredoms,

21 ذ َبَحْتِ أولادِيَ وَقَدَّمتِهِمْ قَرابِينَ لِلأوثانِ.

That thou dost slaughter My sons, And dost give them up in causing them to pass over to them?

22 و َبَينَما أنتِ تَزنِينَ وَتَعمَلِينَ كُلَّ تِلكَ الأُمُورِ الكَرِيهَةِ، لَمْ تَتَذَكَّرِي أيّامَ صِباكِ، حِينَ وَجَدتُكِ عارِيَةً تَتَمَرَّغِينَ بِدَمِكِ.

And with all thine abominations and thy whoredoms, Thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, When thou wast naked and bare, Trodden down in thy blood thou wast!

23 ف َبِسَبَبِ كُلِّ شَرِّكِ، سَتَأتِي عَلَيكِ شُرُورٌ وَوَيلاتٌ شَدِيدَةٌ.» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

And it cometh to pass, after all thy wickedness, (Wo, wo, to thee -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah),

24 « بَنيَتِ لِنَفسِكِ مَعْبَداً لِلأوثانِ، وَنَصَبْتِ بُيُوتَ زِنىً لِنَفسِكِ فِي كُلِّ شارِعٍ!

That thou dost build to thee an arch, And dost make to thee a high place in every broad place.

25 ب َنَيْتِ مُرتَفَعاتِ فِسقٍ فِي كُلِّ زاوِيَةِ شارِعٍ، وَهُناكَ دَنَّسْتِ جَمالَكِ. كَشَفْتِ نَفسَكِ لِكُلِّ عابِرِ سَبيلٍ، وَزَدتِ فِي زِناكِ.

At every head of the way thou hast built thy high place, And thou dost make thy beauty abominable, And dost open wide thy feet to every passer by, And dost multiply thy whoredoms,

26 ث ُمَّ التَفَتِّ إلَى المَصرِيِّينَ، جِيرانِكِ ذَوِي الأعضاءِ الكَبِيرَةِ، وَزَنَيتِ مَعَهُمْ. وَلِكَي تُغضِبِينِي، زِدْتِ فِي زِناكِ.

And dost go a-whoring unto sons of Egypt, Thy neighbours -- great of appetite! And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms, To provoke Me to anger.

27 ف َعاقَبتُكِ، وَأخَذتُ جُزءاً مِنْ أرْضِكِ، وَسَمَحتُ لِلأعداءِ بِأنْ يَفعَلُوا لَكِ ما يُرِيدُونَ. حَتَّى مُدُنُ الفِلِسطِيِّينَ خَجِلَتْ مِنْ شُرُورِكِ.

And lo, I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I diminish thy portion, And give thee to the desire of those hating thee, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed of thy wicked way.

28 ث ُمَّ ذَهَبْتِ لِتُعاشِري الأشُّورِيِّينَ، فَلَمْ تَشبَعِي. زَنَيْتِ مَعَهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَشبَعِي.

And thou goest a-whoring unto sons of Asshur, Without thy being satisfied, And thou dost go a-whoring with them, And also -- thou hast not been satisfied.

29 ف َزِدتِ مِنْ زِناكِ بِالذَّهابِ إلَى أرْضِ بابِلَ، أرْضِ التُّجّارِ، وَمَعَ هَذا كُلِّهِ، لَمْ تَشبَعِي بَعدُ.»

And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms On the land of Canaan -- toward Chaldea, And even with this thou hast not been satisfied.

30 ي َقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «يا لَقَلبِكِ المَرِيضِ! فَأنتِ تَعمَلِينَ كُلَّ أعمالِ الزّانِيَةِ الوَقِحَةِ.

How weak thy heart, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In thy doing all these, The work of a domineering whorish woman.

31 و َفِي قُراكِ، بَنَيتِ مَذابِحَ فِي كُلِّ زاوِيَةِ شارِعٍ. وَقَدْ بَنَيتِ مَكاناً مُرتَفِعاً فِي كُلِّ ساحَةٍ عامَّةٍ. وَلَكِنَّكِ عَلَى عَكسِ الزّانِيَةِ، رَفَضتِ أيَّةَ أُجرَةٍ.

In thy building thine arch at the head of every way, Thy high place thou hast made in every broad place, And -- hast not been as a whore deriding a gift.

32 أ نتِ مِثلُ الزّانِيَةِ الَّتِي تُفَضِّلُ الغُرَباءَ عَلَى زَوجِها.

The wife who committeth adultery -- Under her husband -- doth receive strangers.

33 ع ادَةً، يَدفَعُ الرِّجالُ لِلزّانِيَةِ، أمّا أنتِ فَقَدْ دَفَعْتِ لِكُلِّ عُشّاقِكِ. أغرَيْتِهِمْ بِزِناكِ لِيَأتُوا إلَيكِ مِنْ كُلِّ البِلادِ المُجاوِرَةِ.

To all whores they give a gift, And -- thou hast given thy gifts to all thy lovers, And dost bribe them to come in unto thee, From round about -- in thy whoredoms.

34 أ نتِ عَلَى العَكسِ مِنَ الزَّوانِي، فَالرِّجالُ لَمْ يَأتُوا إلَيكِ وَهُمْ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ زانِيَةٍ، بَلْ أنتِ مَنْ ذَهَبتِ إلَيْهِمْ! وَلَمْ تَأخُذِي أُجرَةً، وَلَكِنَّكِ دَفَعتِ أُجرَةً! نَعَمْ، كُنتِ عَلَى عَكسِ الزَّوانِي.»

And the contrary is in thee from women in thy whoredoms, That after thee none doth go a-whoring; And in thy giving a gift, And a gift hath not been given to thee; And thou art become contrary.

35 « وَلِذا اسْمَعِي أيَّتُها الزّانِيَةُ هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةَ مِنَ اللهِ:

Therefore, O whore, hear a word of Jehovah,

36 ي َقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹بِسَبَبِ تَعَرِّيكِ وَكَشْفِكِ عَنْ جَسَدِكِ العارِي، وَأنتِ تَزنِينَ مَعَ عُشّاقِكِ وَأوثانِكِ الكَرِيهَةِ، وَبِسَبَبِ دَمِ أولادِكِ الَّذِي قَدَّمْتِهِ لِتِلكَ الأوثانِ،

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy brass being poured forth, And thy nakedness is revealed in thy whoredoms near thy lovers, And near all the idols of thy abominations, And according to the blood of thy sons, Whom thou hast given to them;

37 س َأجمَعُ كُلَّ عُشّاقِكِ مَعاً مِنْ كُلِّ البِلادِ المُجاوِرَةِ، كُلَّ الَّذِينَ تَعَلَّقْتِ بِهِمْ، الَّذِينَ عَشِقتِهِمْ وَالَّذِينَ رَفَضْتِهِمْ، وَسَأكشِفُ جَسَدَكِ العارِي لَهُمْ، فَيَرَوْنَ خِزيَكِ.

Therefore, lo, I am assembling all thy lovers, To whom thou hast been sweet, And all whom thou hast loved, Besides all whom thou hast hated; And I have assembled them by thee round about, And have revealed thy nakedness to them, And they have seen all thy nakedness.

38 س َأُدِينُكِ كَما تُدانُ امرَأةٌ زانِيَةٌ قاتِلَةٌ، وَسَأحكُمُ عَلَيكِ بِالمَوتِ فِي سَخَطِي وَغَيرَتِي.

And I have judged thee -- judgments of adultresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given thee blood, fury, and jealousy.

39 س َأُسَلِّمُكِ ليَدِ أعدائِكِ، فَيَهدِمُونَ مُرتَفَعاتِكِ، وَيُدَمِّرُونَ مَذبَحَكِ. سَيَخلَعُونَ عَنكِ ثِيابَكِ وَيَأخُذُونَ جَواهِرَكِ، وَيَترُكُونَكِ عارِيَةً وَبِلا زِينَةٍ.

And I have given thee into their hand, And they have thrown down thine arch, And they have broken down thy high places, And they have stript thee of thy garments, And they have taken thy beauteous vessels, And they have left thee naked and bare.

40 س َيَجمَعُونَ النّاسَ حَولَكِ، فَيَرجُمُونَكِ وَيَقطِّعُونَكِ بِسُيُوفِهِمْ.

And have caused an assembly to come up against thee, And stoned thee with stones, And thrust thee through with their swords,

41 س َيَحرِقُونَ بُيُوتَكَ وَيُعاقِبُونَكِ عَلَناً أمامَ نِساءٍ كَثِيراتٍ. هَكَذا سَأُوقِفُكِ عَنْ مُمارَسَةِ زِناكِ، فَلا تَعُودِينَ تَدفَعِينَ أُجرَةً لِمُحِبِّيكِ.

And burnt thy houses with fire, And done in thee judgments before the eyes of many women, And I have caused thee to cease from going a-whoring, And also a gift thou givest no more.

42 ح ِينَئِذٍ، سَأُسَكِّنُ غَضَبِي، وَسَأُهَدِّئُ غَيْرَتِي. سَأهدَأُ، وَلَنْ أغضَبَ ثانِيَةً.

And I have caused My fury against thee to rest, And My jealousy hath turned aside from thee, And I have been quiet, and I am not angry any more.

43 ل أنَّكِ لَمْ تَتَذَكَّرِي أيّامَ صِباكِ، وَأثَرْتِ سَخَطِي بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، فَإنِّي سَأُحاسِبُكِ عَنْ أعمالِكِ وَأُعاقِبُكِ عَلَيها. ألَمْ تَقْتَرِفِي فِسقاً فاقَ كُلَّ خَطاياكِ الكَريهَةِ؟» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, And dost give trouble to Me in all these, Lo, even I also thy way at first gave up, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I did not this thought for all thine abominations.

44 « سَيَصِفُكِ الشُّعَراءُ بِهَذا المَثَلَ: ‹البِنتُ كَأُمِّها.›

Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning thee, saying: As the mother -- her daughter!

45 أ نتِ حَقّاً بِنتُ أُمِّكِ. إذْ احتَقَرتِ زَوجَكِ وَأولادَكِ. وَأنتِ حَقّاً أُختُ أخَواتِكِ. فَهُنَّ أيضاً احتَقَرنَ أزواجَهُنَّ وَأولادَهُنَّ. أُمُّكُنَّ حِثِّيَّةٌ وَأبُوكُنَّ أمُورِيٌّ.

Thy mother's daughter thou, Loathing her husband and her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou, Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 أ ُختُكِ الكَبِيرَةُ السّامِرَةُ وَقُراها يَسكُنُونَ إلَى الشَّمالِ مِنكِ. وَأُختُكِ الصَّغِيرَةُ سَدُومُ وَقُراها يَسكُنُونَ إلَى الجَنُوبِ مِنكِ.

And thine elder sister Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger sister, who is dwelling on thy right hand, Sodom and her daughters.

47 ل َمْ تَكتَفِي بِتَقليدِهُنَّ وَعَمَلِ خَطاياهُنَّ الكَرِيهَةِ، بَلْ صِرْتِ – وَفِي وَقْتٍ قَصِيرٍ – أكثَرَ فَساداً مِنهُنَّ فِي كُلِّ أعْمالِكِ.»

And -- in their ways thou hast not walked, And according to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been loathed, And thou dost more corruptly than they in all thy ways.

48 ي َقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي إنَّهُ وَلا حَتَّى أُخْتُكِ سَدُومُ وَقُراها عَمِلْنَ الشُّرُورَ الَّتِي عَمِلْتِها أنتِ وَقُراكِ!

I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done -- she and her daughters -- As thou hast done -- thou and thy daughters.

49 ف َهَذا ما أذنَبَتْ بِهِ أُختُكِ سَدُومُ وَقُراها: كُنَّ مُتَعَجْرِفاتٍ، لَدَيهُنَّ فائِضٌ مِنَ الطَّعامِ وَفائِضٌ مِنَ الرّاحَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنَّ يُقَدِّمنَ أيَّ مُساعَدَةٍ لِلفَقِيرِ وَالمُحتاجِ.

Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened.

50 ص ِرْنَ مُتَكَبِّراتٍ، وَعَمِلنَ أُمُوراً كَرِيهَةً أمامِي، فَأزَلْتُهُنَّ تَماماً حِينَ رَأيتُ ذَلِكَ.

And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.

51 و َلَمْ تُخطِئِ السّامِرَةُ نِصفَ خَطاياكِ. فَقَدْ عَمِلْتِ أعمالاً كَرِيهَةً أكثَرَ مِمّا عَمِلَتِ السّامِرَةُ، حَتَّى أًنَّ سَدُومَ وَالسّامِرَةَ بَدَتا صالِحَتَيْنِ.

As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins -- she hath not sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that thou hast done.

52 و َلَكِنَّكِ سَتَحمِلِينَ عارَكِ. لأنَّكِ دافَعتِ عَنْ أُختِكِ بِأفْعالِكِ. فَأعمالُكِ وَخَطاياكِ الكَرِيهَةُ وَالكَثِيرَةُ جَعَلَتْ أُختَكِ تَبْدُو بِارَّةً! فَيَنبَغِي أنْ تُذَلِّي وَتَحمِلِي عارَكِ، لأنَّكِ أخطَأتِ كَثِيراً، حَتَّى جَعلتِ أخَواتِكِ يَظْهَرْنَ بارَّاتٍ.»

Thou also -- bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying thy sisters.

53 « سَأرُدُّ ما سُلِبَ مِنْها: ما سُلِبَ مِنْ سَدُومَ وَقُراها، ما سُلِبَ مِنَ السَّامِرَةِ وَقُراها. وَسَأرُدُّ ما سُلِبَ مِنْكِ أنتِ أيضاً،

And I have turned back their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their midst,

54 ل ِكَي تَتَحَمَّلِي عارَكِ وَتَخجَلِي مِنْ أعْمالِكِ السّابِقَةِ الَّتِي كَانَت عَزاءً لَهُنَّ.

So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of all that thou hast done, In thy comforting them.

55 س َتَعُودُ أُختُكِ سَدُومُ وَقُراها إلَى حالَتِها السّابِقَةِ. سَتَعُودُ أُختُكِ السَّامِرَةُ وَقُراها إلَى حالَتِها السّابِقَةِ. وَكَذلِكِ أنتِ وَقُراكِ سَتَعُدْنَ إلَى حالَتِكُنَّ السّابِقَةِ.»

And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back to your former state.

56 أ لَمْ تَسْخَرِي بِأُختِكِ سَدُومَ حِينَ كُنتِ مُتَكَبِّرَةً،

And thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy,

57 ق َبلَ أنْ يَنكَشِفَ شَرُّكِ؟ وَالآنَ تَتَعَرَّضِينَ لِتَعيِيرِ وَاحتِقارِ قُرَى أرامَ وَجِيرانِها، وَقُرَى الفِلِسطِيِّينَ، المُحِيطَةِ بِكِ.

Before thy wickedness is revealed, As the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round about.

58 ف َتَحَمَّلِي نَتائِجَ فَسادِكِ، وَالأُمُورِ الكَرِيهَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلْتِها.» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them, an affirmation of Jehovah.

59 ف َهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَأُعامِلُكِ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ ذاتِها الَّتِي تَعامَلتِ بِها مَعِي، حِينَ استَهَنْتِ بِوَعْدِكِ، فَنَكَثتِ عَهدَكِ مَعِي.

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath -- to break covenant.

60 و َلَكِنِّي سَأتَذَكَّرُ العَهدَ الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَكِ فِي صِباكِ. قَدْ أسَّسْتُ مَعَكَ عَهْدَاً أبَدِيّاً.

And I -- I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant age-during.

61 ف َحِينَ تَتَسَلَّطِينَ عَلَى أخَواتِكِ الأكبَرِ وَالأصغَرِ، تَتَذَكَّرِينَ ما عَمِلْتِهِ فِي الماضِي فَتَخجَلِينَ. سَأُعطِيهُنَّ لَكِ لِيَكُنَّ تابِعاتٍ لَكِ. وَهُوَ ما لَمْ أعِدكِ بِهِ فِي عَهدِي مَعَكِ.

And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters -- Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not by thy covenant.

62 س َأُثَبِّتُ عَهدِي مَعَكِ، وَسَتَعلَمِينَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.

And I -- I have established My covenant with thee, And thou hast known that I Jehovah.

63 ف َتَذَكَّرِي ما عَمِلْتِ وَاخجَلِي حِينَ أغْفِرُ لَكِ، وَلا تَفتَحِي فَمَكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ بِسَبِبِ خَجَلِكِ.» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
