1 T he word of the Lord also came unto me, saying,

بَعدَ ذَلِكَ، أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

2 S on of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

«يا إنْسانُ، أنتَ تَسكُنُ وَسَطَ شَعبٍ عاصٍ. لَهُمْ عُيُونٌ تَرَى، لَكِنَّهُمْ لا يَرَوْنَ! وَلَهُمْ آذانٌ تَسمَعُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لا يَسمَعُونَ! لأنَّهُمْ شَعبٌ عاصٍ.

3 T herefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

يا إنْسانُ، جَهِّزْ حَقِيبَةَ سَبيٍ لِنَفسِكَ. وَفِي النَّهارِ أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، اخرُجْ كَالمَسبِيِّ مِنْ مَكانَكَ إلَى مَكانٍ آخَرَ. فَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ وَيُدرِكُونَ، لأنَّهُمْ شَعبٌ مُتَمَرِدُّ.

4 T hen shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

اخْرُجْ بِحَقِيبَتِكَ فِي النَّهارِ أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، كَما لَوْ أنَّها حَقِيبَةُ مَسبِيٍّ. ثُمَّ اخرُجْ فِي المَساءِ أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، كَما لَوْ كُنتَ ذاهِباً إلَى السَّبيِ.

5 D ig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

اثقُبِ الحائِطَ أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَاخرُجْ مِنهُ.

6 I n their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

ارفَعِ الحَقِيبَةَ أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ عَلَى كَتِفِكَ. وَعِندَ حُلُولِ الظَّلامِ احمِلها إلَى الخارِجِ. غَطِّ وَجهَكَ كَي لا تَرَى الأرْضَ الَّتِي حَولَكَ، لأنِّي أستَخدِمُكَ كَعَلامَةٍ لِبَني إسْرائِيلَ.»

7 A nd I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

فَعَمِلتُ كَما أمَرَنِي. فِي النَّهارِ أخرَجتُ حَقِيبَتِي، كَما لَوْ أنَّها حَقِيبَةُ مَسبِيٍّ، وَفِي المَساءِ ثَقَبْتُ الحائِطَ بِيَدَيَّ. وَعِندَ حُلُولِ الظَّلامِ، أخرَجتُ حَقِيبَتِي وَحَمَلتُها عَلَى كَتِفِي أمامَ عُيُونِهِمْ.

8 A nd in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,

وَفِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي، أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

9 S on of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

«يا إنْسانُ، ألَمْ يَسألكَ هَؤلاءِ العُصاةُ المُتَمَرِّدُونَ عَمّا كُنتَ تَفعَلُهُ؟

10 S ay thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

قُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ: هَذِهِ رِسالَةٌ إلَى حاكِمِ القُدْسِ، وَإلَى كُلَّ بَني إسْرائِيلَ السّاكِنينَ فِيها.

11 S ay, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

قُلْ لَهُمْ: أنا رَمزٌ لَكُمْ. فَكَما عَمِلتُ، هَذا سَيُعمَلُ بِهِمْ. فَسَيُؤخَذُونَ كَأسرَى وَيُقادُونَ إلَى السَّبيِ.

12 A nd the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.

وَفِي الظَّلامِ سَيَحْمِلُ رَئِيسُهُمْ حَقِيبَتَهُ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ، وَيُغادِرُ المَدِينَةَ. سَيَثقُبُونَ السُّورَ لِيَخرُجُوا مِنهُ مَعَ أغْراضِهِمْ. سَيُغَطِّي الرَّئِيسُ وَجهَهُ حَتَّى لا يَرَى أرْضَهُ بِعَينَيهِ.

13 M y net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

وَلَكِنِّي أُلقِي عَلَيهِ شَبَكَةً، وَسَيُمسَكُ بِفَخِّي. حِينَئِذٍ، سَآخُذُهُ إلَى بابِلَ، أرْضِ الكَلْدانِيِّينَ، لَكِنَّهُ لَنْ يَراها، وَسَيَمُوتُ هُناكَ.

14 A nd I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

سَأُبَعْثِرُ جُيُوشَكَ وَمُستَشارِيكَ مَعَ الرِّيحِ فِي كُلِّ اتِّجاهٍ. وَتُلاحِقُهُمْ جُيُوشٌ يَهُزُّونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَيهِمْ.

15 A nd they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.

وَلِذا حِينَ أُبَدِّدُهُمْ بَينَ الأُمَمِ وَأُبَعثِرُهُمْ فِي البِلادِ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.›»

16 B ut I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

وَلَنْ أُبقِي مِنهُمْ ناجِينَ مِنَ السَّيفِ وَالمَجاعَةِ وَالأمراضِ سِوَى عَدَدٍ قَلِيلٍ، لِيَصِفُوا لِلأُمَمِ الَّتِي يَذهَبُونَ إلَيها كُلَّ الأُمُورِ الكَرِيهَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلُوها فِي يَهُوذا. حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَعرِفُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.

17 M oreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ثُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

18 S on of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;

«يا إنْسانُ، كُلْ طَعامَكَ مُرتَجِفاً، وَاشرَبْ ماءَكَ مُرتَعِشاً خائِفاً!

19 A nd say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

ثُمَّ قُلْ لِشَعبِ الأرْضِ: ‹يَقولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ لِلشَّعبِ السّاكِنِ فِي القُدْسِ وَفِي بَقِيَّةِ أرْضِ إسْرائِيلَ: سَتَأكُلُونَ طَعامَكُمْ بِخَوفٍ وَتَشرَبُونَ ماءَكُمْ بِرُعبٍ. لأنَّ أرْضَكُمْ سَتُدَمَّرُ، بِسَبِبِ ظُلمِ السّاكِنِينَ فِيها.

20 A nd the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

سَتَتَحَوَّلُ المُدُنُ المَسكُونَةُ إلَى خَرابٍ، وَسَتُهجَرُ الأريافُ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.›»

21 A nd the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

ثُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

22 S on of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

«يا إنْسانُ، لِماذا يَقُولُ الشَّعبُ السّاكِنُ أرْضَ إسْرائِيلَ هَذا المَثَلَ: ‹مَرَّتِ الأيّامُ وَخابَتِ الرُّؤَى.›

23 T ell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.

لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ: سَأَضَعُ حَدّاً لِهَذا المَثَلِ، وَلَنْ يَقُولَهُ النّاسُ فِي إسْرائِيلَ فِيما بَعدُ، بَلْ سَيُقالُ: «اقتَرَبَتِ الأيّامُ، وَسَتَتِمُّ كُلُّ الرُّؤَى.»

24 F or there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

فَلَنْ تَكُونَ هُناكَ رُؤَى مُزَيَّفَةٌ أوْ عَرّافُونَ كَذَبَةٌ فِي إسْرائِيلَ.

25 F or I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.

فَأنا اللهَ أتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذِهِ الكَلِمَةِ، وَسَتَتَحَقَّقُ مِنْ دُونِ تَأخِيرٍ. فَفِي أيّامِكُمْ، أيُّها البَيتُ المُتَمَرِّدُ العاصِي، سَأقُولُ كَلِمَةً وَسَتَتِمُّ.›» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

26 A gain the word of the Lord came to me, saying.

ثُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

27 S on of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

«يا إنْسانُ، يَقُولُ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ: ‹تَتَعَلَّقُ الرُّؤيا الَّتِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِها بِالمُستَقبَلِ البَعِيدِ. هُوَ يَتَنَبَّأُ عَنْ أزمِنَةِ بَعِيدَةٍ فِي المُستَقبَلِ.›

28 T herefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.

لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ: لَنْ يَتَأخَّرَ شَيءٌ مِنْ كَلامِي، بَلْ سَأقُولُ كَلِمَةً وَسَتَتِمُّ.›» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.
