1 ث ُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

And the word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 « يا إنْسانُ، انظُرْ نَحوَ أرْضِ العَمُّونِيِّينَ وَتَكَلَّمْ ضِدَّهُمْ.

“Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them,

3 ق ُلْ للِعَمًّونِيِّينَ: ‹اسمَعُوا كَلامَ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: لأنَّكُمْ ضَحِكتُمْ عَلَى هَيكَلي حِينَ تَعَرَّضَ للِتَّنجِيسِ، وَعَلَى أرَضِ إسْرائِيلَ حِينَ تَعَرَّضَتْ للِخَرابِ، وَعَلَى بَيتِ يَهُوذا حِينَ أُخِذَ إلَى السَّبيِ،

and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God, “Because you said, ‘ Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile,

4 ف َإنِّي سَأُسَلِّمُكِ لِبَنِي الشَّرقِ فَيَسْتَولُوا عَلَيكِ. فَسَيُقِيمُونَ مُعَسْكَراتِهِمْ فِي أرْضِكِ، وَيَنْصِبُونَ خِيامَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ شَعبِكَ. سَيَأكُلُونَ ثَمَرَكِ وَيَشرَبُونَ لَبَنَكَ.

therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

5 و َسَأُحَوِّلُ مدِينَةَ رَبَّةِ عَمُّونَ إلَى حَقلٍ فارغٍ تَرعَى فِيهِ الجِمالُ وَالخِرافُ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمِينَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.›

I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.”

6 ل أنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹لأنَّكِ استَمتَعتَ بِالسُّخْرِيَةِ وَالِاستِهزاءِ بِأرْضِ إسْرائِيلَ. فَأخَذتَ تُصَفِّقُ بِيَدَيكَ وَتَضرِبُ بِرِجلَيكَ.

For thus says the Lord God, “Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel,

7 ف َإنِّي سَأمُدُّ يَدَيَّ وَأُعاقِبُكَ، وَاُسَلِّمُكَ غَنِيمَةً لِلأُمَمُ الأُخرَى! سَأعْزِلُكَ عَنِ الشُّعُوبِ، وَأطرُدُكَ مِنَ جَميعِ البِلادِ، وَسَأُحِطِّمُكِ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.›» نُبُوَّةٌ عَن مُوآب

therefore, behold, I have stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for spoil to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.” Moab

8 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «قالَتْ مُوآبُ وَسَعِيرُ: ‹ها إنَّ بَيتَ يَهُوذا مِثلُ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، وَلا يَختَلِفُ عَنها.›

‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’

9 ل ِذا فَإنِّي سَأُزِيلُ كُلَّ المُدُنِ القائِمَةِ عَلَى جِبالِ مُوآبَ، بِما فِيها المُدُنُ الواقِعَةُ عَلَى الحُدُودِ مَعَ أرْضِ إسْرائِيلَ الجَمِيلَةِ، مِنْ بَيتِ بَشِمُوتَ وَبَعلِ مَعُونَ وَحَتَّى قِرْيَتايِمْ.

therefore, behold, I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriathaim,

10 و َسَأُسَلِّمُ مَعَها شَعْبَ عَمُّونَ مُلْكاً لِشُعُوبِ الشَّرقِ، فَلا تَعُودُ عَمُّونُ تًذْكَرُ بَينَ الأُمَمِ.

and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.

11 و َسَأُنَفِّذَ حُكمِي عَلَى مُوآبَ. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.» نُبُوَّةٌ عَنْ أدُوم

Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.” Edom

12 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «انتَقَمَتْ أدُومُ مِنْ بَيتِ يَهُوذا، وَقَدْ أساءَتْ إلَيْهِمْ جِدّاً.

‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,”

13 ل ِهَذا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹سَأُعاقِبُ أدُومَ، سَأقضِي عَلَى النّاسِ وَالحَيَواناتِ فِيها، وَأُحَوِّلُها إلَى صَحراءَ جافَّةٍ فارِغَةٍ. سَيَمُوتُ النّاسُ بِالسَّيفِ مِنْ تَيْمانَ وَحَتَّى دَدانَ.

therefore thus says the Lord God, “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

14 ث ُمَّ سَأستَخدِمُ شَعبِي إسْرائِيلَ لِلِانتِقامِ مِنْ أدُومَ. فَيَنتَقِمُونَ مِنْ أدُومَ بِحَسَبِ غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي، فَيَعرِفُ الأدُومِيُّونَ انتِقامِي.›» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ. نُبُوَّةٌ عَن فِلِسطِين

I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God. Philistia

15 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «انتَقَمَ الفِلِسطِيُّونَ. جَعَلَهُمْ كُرهُهُمُ الشَّدِيدُ وَالقَدِيمُ يَنتَقِمُونَ بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ وَإهانَةٍ مِنْ شَعبِي.

‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because the Philistines have acted in revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,”

16 و َلِذا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹سَأُعاقِبُ الفِلِسطِيِّينَ، وَسَأستَأصِلُ الكرِيتِيِّينَ، وَأُهلِكُ ما يَتَبَقَّى مِنهُمْ عَلَى ساحِلِ البَحرِ.

therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.

17 و َهَكَذا فَإنِّي سَأنتَقِمُ مِنهُمْ بِشِدَّةٍ حِينَ أُعاقِبُهُمْ بِغَضَبِي، وَحِينَ أنتَقِمُ مِنهُمْ سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.›»

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will know that I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance on them.”’”
