1 و َأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 « يا إنْسانُ، هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «هُناكَ نِهايَةٌ لِأرضِ إسْرائِيلَ. سَتَأتِي النِّهايَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

Also, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

3 س َتَأتِي النِّهايَةُ عَلَيكِ سَرِيعاً، حِينَ أُرسِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَيكِ، وَحِينَ أحكُمُ عَلَيكِ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِكِ، وَحِينَ أُجازِيكِ عَلَى أُمُورِكِ الكَرِيهَةِ،

Now is the end upon you, and I will send My anger upon you and will judge you according to your ways and will bring upon you retribution for all your abominations.

4 و َلَنْ أرحَمَكِ، لأنِّي سَأُعاقِبُكِ عَلَى سُلُوكِكِ بِسَبَبِ الأُمُورِ الكَرِيهَةِ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِكِ، حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمِينَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.»

And My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring recompense for your evil ways upon you, while your abominations are in the midst of you; and you shall know (recognize, understand, and realize) that I am the Lord.

5 ي َقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَتَأتِي عَلَيكُمْ كارِثَةٌ وَراءَ أُخْرَى.

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, an evil is coming, only one evil.

6 ه ُناكَ نِهايَةٌ آتِيَةٌ. النِّهايَةُ آتِيَةٌ، وَسَتَأتِي عَلَيكِ فَجأةً. ها إنَّ الكارِثَةَ تُوشِكُ أنْ تَأتِيَ.

An end has come! The end has come! awakes against you. See, it has come!

7 ي ا سُكّانَ الأرْضِ، قَدْ أُطلِقَتِ الإشارَةُ لِأعدائِكُمْ لِيَجِيئُوا. قَدْ أتَى الوَقتُ. اليَومُ قَرِيبٌ جِدّاً. يُمكِنُ سَماعُ ضَجَّةِ المَعرَكَةِ، لا ضَجَّةَ الفَرَحِ، فِي الجِبالِ.

Your turn (your doom) has come upon you, O inhabitant of the land; the time has come, the day is near, a day not of joyful shouting, but a day of tumult upon the mountains.

8 س َأُظهِرُ قَرِيباً كُلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيكِ. سَأُدِينُكِ عَلَى أعمالِكِ، وَسَأُعاقِبُكِ عَلَى كُلَّ خَطاياكِ الكَرِيهَةِ.

Now will I shortly pour out My wrath upon you and finish spending My anger against you, and I will judge you according to your ways and will recompense you with punishment for all your abominations.

9 و َلَنْ أرحَمَكِ، وَلَنْ أُشفِقَ عَلَيكِ. سَأُعاقِبُكِ عَلَى ما فَعَلْتِ، بَينَما ما تَزالُ خَطاياكِ فِيكِ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا هُوَ اللهَ الَّذِي يَضرِبُكُمْ.

And My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways while your abominations are right in the midst of you. And you shall know, understand, and realize that it is I the Lord Who smites you.

10 ق َدْ أتَى اليَومُ، وَقَدْ أطلَقتُ الإشارَةَ. قَدْ أفرَخَتِ العَصا، وَأخْرَجَتِ الكِبْرِيَاءُ بَراعِمَها.

Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Your doom has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.

11 ذ َلِكَ المُتَكَبِّرُ القاسِي مُسْتَعِدٌّ لِمُعاقَبَةِ الأشْرارِ. يُوجَدُ كَثِيرُونَ فِي إسْرائِيلَ، وَلكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ واحِداً مِنْهُمْ. هُوَ لَيْسَ قائِداً مُهِمّاً فِي ذَلِكَ الشَّعبِ.

Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness; none of shall remain, none of their abundance, none of their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them or wailing for them.

12 ق َدْ أتَى الوَقتُ، وَاقتَرَبَ اليَومُ. لا يَفرَحِ الشّارِي، وَلا يَنُحِ البائِعُ، لأنَّ الغَضَبَ سَيَأتِي عَلَى جُمهُورٍ عَظِيمٍ.

The time has come, the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude.

13 ف َمَنْ يَبِيعُ أرْضَهُ لَنْ يَستَعِيدَها أبَداً. حَتَّى الَّذِينَ يَنجُونَ بِحَيَاتِهِمْ، لَنْ يَعُودُوا إلَى الأرْضِ. لِأنَّ هَذِهِ الرُّؤيا تَتَعَلَّقُ بِالجَمِيعِ. وَلَنْ يَتَقَوَّى أحَدٌ بِالظُّلمِ وَالإثْمِ.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, even were they yet alive. For the vision is touching whole multitude; he shall not come back, neither shall any strengthen himself whose life is in his iniquity.

14 م َعَ أنَّهُمْ يَنفُخُونَ فِي بُوقِ المَعرَكَةِ، وَيَستَعِدُّونَ للِحَربِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَسِيرُوا إلَى المَعرَكَةِ، لأنِّي غاضِبٌ عَلَيهِمْ جَمِيعاً.

They have blown the trumpet and have made all ready, but none goes to the battle, for My wrath is upon all their multitude.

15 ا لعَدُوُّ خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ، وَالمَرَضُ وَالمَجاعَةُ فِي داخِلِها. الَّذِينَ فِي الحُقُولِ سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالسَّيفِ، وَالَّذِينَ فِي المَدِينَةِ سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالمَرَضِ وَالجُوعِ.

The sword is without and pestilence and famine are within. He who is in the field shall die by the sword, and him who is in the city shall famine and pestilence devour.

16 س َيَهرُبُ النّاجُونَ مِنهُمْ، وَسَيَطِيرُونَ إلَى الجِبالِ مِثلَ حَمائِمِ الوادِي، وَكُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ يَهْدِرُ فِي إثمِهِ.

But those of them that escape shall escape, but shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity’s.

17 س َتَكُونُ أيدِيهُمْ مُنهَكَةً وَرُكَبُهُمْ ضَعِيفَةً.

All hands shall be feeble and all knees shall be weak as water.

18 س َيَرْتَدُونَ الخَيشَ، وَسَيُغّطِّيهُمُ الرُّعْبُ. سَيَكُونُ العارُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجهٍ، وَسَيُحلَقُ كُلُّ رَأسٍ.

They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth; horror and dismay shall cover them, and shame shall be upon all faces and baldness upon all their heads.

19 س َيُلقُونَ أصنامَهُمِ الفِضِّيَّةَ فِي الشَّوارِعِ، وَسَيُعامِلُونَ تَماثِيلَهُمُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ كَما لَوْ أنَّها نُفايَةٌ. لَنْ تُخَلِّصَهُمْ أصنامُهُمُ الفِضِّيَّةُ حِينَ يُعَبِّرُ اللهُ عَنْ غَضَبِهِ عَلَيهِمْ. لَنْ تُشبِعَهُمْ هَذِهِ الأصنامُ، وَلَنْ تَملأَ بُطُونَهُمْ.

They shall cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be like an unclean thing or rubbish; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their animal cravings nor fill their stomachs with them, for has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.

20 ص َنَعُوا أوثانَهُمُ الكَرِيهَةَ وَأدَواتِهِمُ المَقِيتَةَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِمُ الجَمِيلَةِ الَّتِي يَفتَخِرُونَ بِها. لِهَذا أنزِعُهُمْ عَنِّي كَرِداءٍ نَجِسٍ.

As for the beauty of gold for ornament, they turned it to pride and made of it the images of their abominations (idols) and of their detestable things. Therefore I will make it to them as an unclean thing.

21 س َأُسَلِّمُ أرْضَهُمْ لِلغُرَباءِ لِيَنهَبُوها، وَلأشْرارِ الأرْضِ لِيَأخُذُوها غَنِيمَةٍ، فَيُنَجِّسُونَها.

And I will give it for plunder into the hands of strangers and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil, and they shall profane it.

22 س َأُبْعِدُ وَجهِيَ عَنهُمْ، فَيَدخُلَ الغُرَباءُ مَقدِسِي وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ. سَيَدخُلُ المُجتاحُونَ وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ.

Also I will turn My face from them and they shall profane My secret treasure; and robbers shall enter into it and profane it.

23 ا صنَعُوا السَّلاسِلَ لِلأسْرَى، لِأنَّ الأرْضَ مَلِيئَةٌ بِجَرائِمِ القَتلِ، وَالمَدينَةُ مَليئَةٌ بِالعُنفِ.

Prepare the chain, for the land is full of bloodguiltiness and the city is full of violence.

24 و َلِذا سَأجلِبُ أجانِبَ أشراراً. سَيَمْتَلِكُونَ بُيُوتِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. سَأُنهِي مَجدَ العُظَماءِ وَالأقوِياءِ، وَسَتَتَنَجَّسُ أماكِنُ عِبادَتِهِمْ.

Therefore I will bring in the worst of the nations, who will take possession of the houses; I will also silence their strongholds and put an end to their proud might, and their holy places and those who sanctify them shall be profaned.

25 ز َمَنُ رُعبٍ وَدَمارٍ آتٍ! سَيَبحَثُونَ عَنِ السَّلامِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَجِدُوهُ!

Distress, panic, and destruction shall come, and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

26 س َتَأتِي مَأساةٌ بَعدَ مَأساةٍ، وَإشاعَةٌ بَعدَ إشاعَةٍ. سَيَطلُبُونَ رُؤيا مِنَ الأنبِياءِ. سَيَفتَقِرُ الكَهَنَةُ إلَى التَّعلِيمِ، وَالقادَةُ إلَى النَّصِيحَةِ.

Calamity shall come upon calamity and rumor shall be upon rumor, and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; and the law and instruction shall cease from the priest and counsel from the elders.

27 س َيَنُوحُ المَلِكُ، وَرَئِيسُ الشَّعبِ سَيَلبَسُ العارَ، وَأيدِي القادَةِ سَتَرتَجِفُ مِنَ الخَوفِ. سَأحكُمُ عَلَيهِمْ بِما يَحكُمُونَ بِهِ عَلَى غَيرِهِمْ. حِينَئِذٍ، يَعَلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.»

The king shall wear mourning and the prince shall clothe himself with garments of despair and desolation, while the hands of the people of the land shall tremble; for I will do to them in accordance with their ways, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know, recognize, and realize that I am the Lord.
