1 و َأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

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

You, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel, An end: the end has come on 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 on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.

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

My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be among you: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

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

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.

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

An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.

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 doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on 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 on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you 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.

My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be among you; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, do strike.

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

Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom has gone out; 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 risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among 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: don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its 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, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

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 no one goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.

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

The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

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

But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

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 clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on 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 in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’s wrath: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it 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 his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it to them as an unclean thing.

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

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

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

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

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

Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, 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 the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.

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

Destruction comes; 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.

Mischief shall come on mischief, and rumor shall be on rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish 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 mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
