1 ث ُمَّ أتَتِ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 « يا إنْسانُ، قُلْ لِرَئِيسِ صُورَ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «‹لأنَّكَ تَكَبَّرتَ وَقُلتَ: أنا إلَهٌ، وَأنا مُتَوَّجٌ عَلَى عَرشٍ إلَهِيٍّ فِي قَلبِ البَحرِ. مَعَ أنَّكَ إنسانٌ وَلَستَ إلَهاً، وَأنتَ تَعتَبِرُ نَفسَكَ ذَكِيّاً مِثلَ ذَكاءِ الآلِهَةِ،

“Son of man, tell the leader of Tyre, ‘The Lord God says, “Because your heart is proud, you have said, ‘I am a god. I sit in the seat of gods, with the seas around me.’ Yet you are a man and not God, even if you think you are as wise as God.

3 و َتَرَى نَفسَكَ أحكَمَ مِنْ دانِيالَ، فلا يُحَيِّرُكَ سِرٌّ وَلا لُغزٌ.

You are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.

4 ب ِحِكمَتِكَ وَفَهْمِكَ حَصَلتَ عَلَى قُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، وَجَمَعتَ ذَهباً وَفِضَّةً وَوَضَعتَها فِي خَزْنَتِكَ.

By your wisdom and understanding you have gathered riches for yourself. You have gathered gold and silver for your store-houses.

5 ب ِحِكمَتِكَ العَظِيمَةِ أدَرْتَ أعمالَكَ وَتِجارَتَكَ لِتَزِيدَ مِنْ ثَروَتِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ. وَالآنَ صِرتَ مُتَكَبِّراً بِسَبَبِ ثَروَتِكَ.

By all your wisdom in trade you have added to your riches, and your heart has become proud because of them.

6 « ‹لِذا هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: حَيْثُ إنَّكَ تَرَى نَفسَكَ ذَكِيّاً كَإلَهٍ،

So the Lord God says, ‘Because you think you are as wise as God,

7 ف َإنِّي سَأُحضِرُ عَلَيكَ غُرَباءَ، أُمَماً قاسِيَةً، فَيَستَلُّونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ ضِدَّ حِكمَتِكَ العَظِيمَةِ، وَيُنَجِّسُونَ وَيُفسِدُونَ مَجدَكَ.

I will bring strangers against you, those who have the hardest hearts of all the nations. With their swords they will destroy the beauty of your wisdom and your greatness.

8 س َيُنزِلُونَكَ إلَى حُفرَةِ المَوتِ، وَسَتَمُوتُ فِي البَحرِ مِثلَ الآخَرِيِنَ.

They will bring you down to the grave. You will die the death of those who are killed on the sea.

9 ف َهَلْ سَتَقُولُ حِينَئِذٍ لِقاتِلِيكَ: أنا إلَهٌ؟ سَيُثبِتُ الَّذِينَ يَقتُلُونَكَ أنَّكَ إنسانٌ وَلَستَ إلَهاً!

Will you still say, “I am a god,” in front of those who kill you? You will be only a man and not a god in the hands of those who kill you.

10 س َتَمُوتُ مِثلَ مَوتِ اللّامَختُونِ، عَلَى يَدِ هَؤُلاءِ الغُرَباءِ. لأنِّي أنا أمَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ،›» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

You will be killed by strangers, and will die the death of one who has not gone through the religious act of My people. For I have spoken,’ says the Lord God.”’” Song of Sorrow for the King of Tyre

11 و َأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

12 « يا إنْسانُ، غَنِّ أُغنِيَّةَ رِثاءٍ عَلَى مَلِكِ صُورَ. قُلْ لَهُ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «‹أنتَ صُورَةٌ عنِ الكَمالِ! مَملُوءٌ بِالحِكْمَةِ، وَفائِقُ الجَمالِ.

“Son of man, sing a song of sorrow for the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord God says, “You were once the mark of what is perfect, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 ك ُنتَ فِي عَدَنٍ، فِي جَنَّةِ اللهِ. أنتَ مُزَيَّنٌ بِكُلِّ الأحجارِ الكَرِيمَةِ: بِالعَقِيقِ الأحمَرِ وَالياقُوتِ الأصفَرِ وَالعَقَيقِ الأبيَضِ وَالزَبَرْجَدِ وَالجَزْعِ وَاليَشبِ وَالياقُوتِ الأزرَقِ وَالبَهرَمانِ وَالزُّمُرُّدِ وَالذَّهَبِ. أُعِدَّتْ كُلُّ هَذِهِ الحِجارَةِ لَكَ، يَومَ خُلِقْتَ.

You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every stone of great worth covered you: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, chrysolite, turquoise, and emerald. And you had beautiful objects of gold. They were made for you when you were made.

14 أ نتَ كَرُوبٌ حارِسٌ مُختارٌ، وَضَعْتُكَ عَلَى جَبَلِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِ. تَجَوَّلْتَ وَسَطَ الحِجارَةِ البارِقَةِ كَالنّارِ.

You were the cherub who kept watch, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked among the stones of fire.

15 ك ُنتَ مُسْتَقِيماً وَكامِلاً فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ مِنَ اليَومِ الَّذِي خُلِقْتَ فِيهِ إلَى أنْ أخْطَأْتَ.

You were without blame in your ways from the day you were made until sin was found in you.

16 م َلأَتْكَ أعمالُكَ وَتِجارَتُكَ بِالظُّلمِ فَأخطَأتَ وَلِذا طَرَحْتُكَ مِنْ جَبَلِ اللهِ، وَطَرَدتُكَ، أيُّها الكَرُوبُ الحارِسُ، مِنْ بينِ الحِجارَةِ البارِقَةِ كَالنّارِ.

Through all your trading you were filled with bad ways, and you sinned. So I have sent you away in shame from the mountain of God and I have destroyed you and driven you out from the stones of fire, O cherub who kept watch.

17 ج َعَلَكَ جَمالُكَ مُتَكَبِّراً، وَفَسَدَتْ حِكمَتُكَ بِسَبَبِ بَهائِكَ، وَلِذا طَرَحْتُكَ أمامَ المُلُوكِ الآخَرِينَ، صِرْتَ مَثاراً لِلدَّهشَةِ.

Your heart was proud because of your beauty. You made your wisdom sinful because of your beauty. So I threw you to the ground. I laid you in front of kings for them to see you.

18 ن َجَّسْتَ مَسكِنَكَ بِتَعامُلاتِكَ التِّجارِيَّةِ المُنحَرِفَةِ، وَلِذا أخرَجْتُ ناراً مِنكَ، فَالتَهَمتْكَ. وَبِهَذا حَوَّلتُكَ إلَى تُرابٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ أمامَ كُلِّ الَّذِينَ رَأوكَ.

By all your wrong-doing and sinful trading you made your holy places sinful. So I made a fire come out from you, and it has destroyed you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you.

19 « ‹صُدِمَ كُلُّ أصدِقائِكَ مَمّا حَدَثَ لَكَ. صِرتَ مَصدَرَ رُعبٍ. قدِ انتَهَيتَ إلَى الأبَدِ.›» نُبُوَّةٌ عَنْ صَيْدُون

All the nations who know you are filled with wonder and fear because of you. You have come to a bad end, and you will be no more forever.”’” Words against Sidon

20 ث ُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

21 « يا إنْسانُ، التَفِتْ إلَى صَيْدُونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ ضِدَّها.

“Son of man, look toward Sidon and speak against her.

22 ق ُلْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «‹يا صيْدُونُ، أنا ضِدُّكِ، وَسَأتَمجَّدُ فِي وَسَطِكِ! سَيَعرِفُ النّاسُ أنِّي أنا اللهُ ، حِينَ أُنَفِّذَ حُكمِي فِيها.

Tell her, ‘The Lord God says, “I am against you, O Sidon, and My greatness will be honored among you. They will know that I am the Lord when I punish Sidon. I will show Myself holy within her.

23 س َأَنشُرُ مَرَضاً وَدَماً فِي شَوارِعِها، وَسَيَسقُطُ المَوتَى داخِلَ المَدِينَةِ. سَيُحِيطُ بِها جُنُودٌ مُسَلَّحُونَ، وَسَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ!›»

For I will send disease upon her, and blood into her streets. People will be killed by the sword from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

24 « ‹وَالأُمَمُ المُحِيطَةُ بِإسْرائِيلَ وَالَّتِي تَستَهزِئُ بِها الآنَ، لَنْ تَعُودَ كَالشَّوكِ وَالعَوسَجِ المُؤلِمِ لِبَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ. حِينَئِذٍ، يَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.›»

No longer will the people of Israel have neighbors like a sharp thistle or thorn who hate them. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

25 ه َذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «تَبَعْثَرَ بَيتُ إسْرائِيلَ بَينَ الأُمَمِ. لَكِنَّنِي سَأجمَعُهُ مِنْ تِلكَ الأُمَمِ. حِينَ أعمَلُ هَذا، سَتَرَى الأُمَمُ أنِّي قُدُّوسٌ، وَسَتَسكُنُ إسْرائِيلُ فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لِعَبدِي يَعْقُوبَ.

“The Lord God says, ‘I will gather the people of Israel from the different nations where they have been sent. And I will show Myself holy among them in the eyes of the nations. Then they will live in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

26 ح ِينَئِذٍ، سَيَسكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ. سَيَبنُونَ بُيُوتاً وَيَزرَعُونَ كُرُوماً وَيَسكُنُونَ فِيها آمِنِينَ وَبِسَلامٍ. فَأنا سَأُدِينُ الأُمَمَ المُحِيطَةَ بِهِمُ الَّتِي عامَلَتهُمْ باحتِقارٍ. حِينَئِذٍ، يَعلَمُ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ أنِّي أنا إلَهُهُمْ.»

They will live there and be safe. They will build houses, plant grape-fields, and be safe, when I punish all those around them who speak against them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”’”
