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

وَأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

2 “ And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end is coming on the four corners of the land.

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

3 N ow the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.

سَتَأتِي النِّهايَةُ عَلَيكِ سَرِيعاً، حِينَ أُرسِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَيكِ، وَحِينَ أحكُمُ عَلَيكِ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِكِ، وَحِينَ أُجازِيكِ عَلَى أُمُورِكِ الكَرِيهَةِ،

4 F or My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the Lord!’

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

5 “ Thus says the Lord God, ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming!

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «سَتَأتِي عَلَيكُمْ كارِثَةٌ وَراءَ أُخْرَى.

6 A n end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come!

هُناكَ نِهايَةٌ آتِيَةٌ. النِّهايَةُ آتِيَةٌ، وَسَتَأتِي عَلَيكِ فَجأةً. ها إنَّ الكارِثَةَ تُوشِكُ أنْ تَأتِيَ.

7 Y our doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near—tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains.

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

8 N ow I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations.

سَأُظهِرُ قَرِيباً كُلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيكِ. سَأُدِينُكِ عَلَى أعمالِكِ، وَسَأُعاقِبُكِ عَلَى كُلَّ خَطاياكِ الكَرِيهَةِ.

9 M y eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the Lord, do the smiting.

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

10 ‘ Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

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

11 V iolence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them.

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

12 T he time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for wrath is against all their multitude.

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

13 I ndeed, the seller will not regain what he sold as long as they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.

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

14 ‘ They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all their multitude.

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

15 T he sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city.

العَدُوُّ خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ، وَالمَرَضُ وَالمَجاعَةُ فِي داخِلِها. الَّذِينَ فِي الحُقُولِ سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالسَّيفِ، وَالَّذِينَ فِي المَدِينَةِ سَيَمُوتُونَ بِالمَرَضِ وَالجُوعِ.

16 E ven when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.

سَيَهرُبُ النّاجُونَ مِنهُمْ، وَسَيَطِيرُونَ إلَى الجِبالِ مِثلَ حَمائِمِ الوادِي، وَكُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ يَهْدِرُ فِي إثمِهِ.

17 A ll hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water.

سَتَكُونُ أيدِيهُمْ مُنهَكَةً وَرُكَبُهُمْ ضَعِيفَةً.

18 T hey will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

سَيَرْتَدُونَ الخَيشَ، وَسَيُغّطِّيهُمُ الرُّعْبُ. سَيَكُونُ العارُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجهٍ، وَسَيُحلَقُ كُلُّ رَأسٍ.

19 T hey will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling. The Temple Profaned

سَيُلقُونَ 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.

20 T hey transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them.

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

21 I will give it into the hands of the foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it.

سَأُسَلِّمُ أرْضَهُمْ لِلغُرَباءِ لِيَنهَبُوها، وَلأشْرارِ الأرْضِ لِيَأخُذُوها غَنِيمَةٍ، فَيُنَجِّسُونَها.

22 I will also turn My face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.

سَأُبْعِدُ وَجهِيَ عَنهُمْ، فَيَدخُلَ الغُرَباءُ مَقدِسِي وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ. سَيَدخُلُ المُجتاحُونَ وَيُنَجِّسُونَهُ.

23 ‘ Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

اصنَعُوا السَّلاسِلَ لِلأسْرَى، لِأنَّ الأرْضَ مَلِيئَةٌ بِجَرائِمِ القَتلِ، وَالمَدينَةُ مَليئَةٌ بِالعُنفِ.

24 T herefore, I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong ones cease, and their holy places will be profaned.

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

25 W hen anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.

زَمَنُ رُعبٍ وَدَمارٍ آتٍ! سَيَبحَثُونَ عَنِ السَّلامِ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَجِدُوهُ!

26 D isaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.

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

27 T he king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their conduct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”

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