1 I t came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and sat before me.

فِي اليَومِ العاشِرِ مِنَ الشَّهرِ الخامِسِ فِي السَّنَةِ السّابِعَةِ، أتَى بَعضُ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ إلَيَّ لِيَطلُبُوا رِسالَةً مِنَ اللهِ عَلَى فَمِي.

2 T hen the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

فَأتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

3 “ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’

«يا إنْسانُ، كَلِّمْ شُيُوخَ إسْرائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: هَلْ أتَيتُمْ لِتَطلُبُوا رِسالَةً فِعلاً؟ أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي إنِّي لَنْ أسمَحَ لَكُمْ بِأنْ تَطلُبُونِي لِأخذِ رِسالَةٍ مِنِّي.›» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

4 W ill you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Then make known to them the abominations of their fathers.

«يا إنْسانُ، هَلْ سَتُدِينُهُمْ؟ عَرِّفهُمْ بِالأعمالِ الكَرِيهَةِ الَّتِي كانَ آباؤُهُمْ يَعمَلُونَها.

5 “ Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand in an oath to them, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God.’

قُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: حِينَ اختَرتُ إسْرائِيلَ، رَفَعتُ يَدِي وَأقسَمتُ لِبَنِي يَعقُوبَ. عَمِلتُ مَعَهُمْ عَهداً فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، حِينَ رَفَعتُ يَدِي وَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: أنا إلَهُكُمْ.

6 O n that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ رَفَعتُ يَدِي وَتَعَهَّدتُ بِأنْ أُخرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ، وَأقُودَهُمْ إلَى أرْضٍ تَفَحَّصتُها لأجلِهِمْ – أرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَهِيَ الأجمَلِ بَينَ البِلادِ.›

7 T hen I said to them, ‘Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’

«ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ: ‹عَلَى كُلِّ إنسانٍ أنْ يُلقِيَ تِلكَ الأصنامَ الكَرِيهَةُ الَّتِي يَضَعُونَها أمامَهُمْ. وَلا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأصنامِ مِصرَ القَذِرَةِ، لأنِّي أنا إلَهُكُمْ.›

8 B ut they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.’

لَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ، وَاختارُوا أنْ لا يَسمَعُوا لِي. لَمْ يَتَخَلَّصْ واحِدٌ مِنهُمِ مِنَ الأصنامَ البَغِيضَةِ الَّتِي يَضَعُونَها أمامَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَترُكْ واحِدٌ مِنهُمِ أصنامَ مِصرَ القَذِرَةِ. وَفَكَّرتُ بِأنْ أسكُبَ عَلَيهِمْ كُلَّ غَضَبِي وَهُمْ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ.

9 B ut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

لَكِنِّي لَمْ أشَأ أنْ أُشَوِّهَ اسْمِي بَينَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَكَنُوا فِي وَسَطِها، وَالَّتِي أعلَنتُ أمامَها بِأنِّي سَأُخرجُهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصرَ.

10 “ Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

وَهَكَذا قُدْتُهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ إلَى الصَّحراءِ.

11 A nd I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’

وَأعطَيْتُهُمْ هُناكَ فَرائِضِي وَشَرائِعِي، وَوَعَدتُهُمْ بِأنَّ مَنْ يُطِيعُ هَذِهِ الشَّرائِعَ سَيَحيا بِها.

12 M oreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

كَما أعطَيْتُهُمْ أيّامَ راحَةٍ، كَعَلامَةِ العَهدِ الَّذِي بَينِي وَبَينَهُمْ، لِأُظهِرَ أنِّي أنا اللهَ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُهُمْ.

13 Y et the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

«وَلَكِنَّ بَني إسْرائِيلَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ فِي الصَّحراءِ، وَلَمْ يَتْبَعُوا شَرائعِي، وَرَفَضُوا فَرائِضِي الَّتِي مَنْ يَعمَلُ بِها سَيَحيا بِها أيضاً، وَنَجَّسُوا أيّامَ الرَّاحَةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُها بِشَكلٍ مُتَكَرِّرٍ. وَلِذا فَكَّرتُ بِأنْ أسكُبَ غَضَبِي عَلَيهمْ، فَأُهلِكَهُمْ فِي البرِّيَّةِ.

14 B ut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

وَلَكِنْ لِأجلِ اسمِي، وَلِكَي لا يَتَشَوَّهَ بينَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ رَأونِي أُخرِجُ شَعبِي مِنْ مِصرَ،

15 S o I also raised My hand in an oath to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands,

رَفَعتُ يَدِي وَأقسَمتُ لَهُمْ فِي الصَّحراءِ إنِّي لَنْ أُدخِلَهُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لَهُمْ – إلَى أرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَهِيَ الأجمَلِ بَينَ البِلادِ.

16 b ecause they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

لأنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا فَرائِضِي وَلَمْ يُطِيعُوا شرائِعِي، وَنَجَّسُوا أيّامَ الرَّاحَةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُها. فَقَدِ انجَذَبَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَراءَ أَوثانِهِمُ القَذِرةِ.

17 N evertheless My eye spared them from destruction. I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.

وَلَكِنِّي رَحَمتُهُمْ وَلَمْ أُهلِكْهُمْ، وَلَمْ أُبِدْهُمْ تَماماً فِي البرِّيَّةِ.

18 “ But I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

وَقُلْتُ لِأبنائِهِمْ فِي البرِّيَّةِ: لا تَعِيشُوا كَما عاشَ آباؤُكُمْ! لا تُطِيعُوا الشَّرائِعَ الّتِي أطاعُوها، وَلا تَحفَظُوا فَرائِضَهُمْ، وَلا تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأوثانِهِمُ القَذِرَةِ.

19 I am the Lord your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them;

أنا إلَهُكُمْ ، أطِيعُوا شَرائِعِي وَدَقِّقُوا فِي حِفظِ فَرائِضِي.

20 h allow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

قَدِّسُوا أيّامَ الرَّاحَةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُها، فَتَكُونَ عَلامَةً عَلَى العَهدِ بَينِي وَبَينَكُمْ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا إلَهُكُمْ.›

21 “ Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and were not careful to observe My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.

«وَلَكِنَّ الأولادَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ. لَمْ يُطِيعُوا شَرائِعِي وَلَمْ يُدَقِّقُوا فِي حِفظِ فَرائِضِي. لَمْ يَعمَلُوا الأُمُورَ الَّتِي إنْ عَمِلَها إنْسانٌ يَحيا بِها، وَنَجَّسُوا أيّامَ الرَّاحَةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُها. لِذا فَكَّرتُ بِأنْ أسكُبَ كُلَّ غَضَبِي عَلَيهِمْ فَأُهلِكُهُمْ فِي الصَّحراء تَماماً.

22 N evertheless I withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

لَكِنِّي مَنَعْتُ نَفسِي عَنْ إبادَتِهِمْ لأجلِ السُّمعَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ لِاسْمِي بَينَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي أخرَجتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ أمامَهُمْ.

23 A lso I raised My hand in an oath to those in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles and disperse them throughout the countries,

لَكِنِّي رَفَعتُ يَدِي لَهُمْ فِي الصَّحراءِ وَتَعَهَّدتُ لَهُمْ بِأنْ أُبَعثِرَهُمْ وَسَطَ الأُمَمِ وَفِي كُلِّ البِلادِ.

24 b ecause they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed on their fathers’ idols.

لأنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحفَظُوا فَرائِضِي وَرَفَضُوا شَرائِعِي، وَاستَخَفُّوا بِأيّامِ الرَّاحَةِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُها، وَتعَلَّقُوا بِالأوثانِ القَذِرَةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ لِآبائِهِمْ.

25 “ Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;

لِذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُهُمْ يَتبَعُونَ شَرائِعَ غَيرَ صالِحَةٍ، وَفَرائِضَ لا يَحيَونَ بِها.

26 a nd I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they might know that I am the Lord.”’

تَرَكْتُهُمْ يَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِعَطاياهُمْ، حَتَّى قَدَّمُوا أبكارَهُمْ كَقَرابِينَ، لِكَي أُدَمِّرَهُمْ. حينَئِذٍ، يَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ!

27 “ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In this too your fathers have blasphemed Me, by being unfaithful to Me.

«وَلِذا، تَكَلَّمْ يا إنْسانُ إلَى بَني إسْرائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: بِالإضافَةِ إلَى كُلِّ هَذا، استَمَرَّ آباؤُكُمْ يُظهِرُونَ اسْتِخفافِهِمْ بِي، فِي تَمَرُّدِهِمِ المُستَمِرِّ عَلَيَّ.

28 W hen I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand in an oath to give them, and they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings. There they also sent up their sweet aroma and poured out their drink offerings.

وَمَعَ هَذا قُدتُهُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي سَبقَ أنْ وَعَدتُهُمْ بِأنْ أُعْطِيَها لَهُمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَدَّمُوا ذَبائِحَ لِأوثانِهِمْ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلَّةٍ عالِيَةٍ رَأَوْها، وَتَحتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضراءَ. قَدَّمُوا تَقدِماتٍ لِإثارَةِ غَضَبِي، وَبَخَّرُوا وَسَكَبُوا خَمْراً.

29 T hen I said to them, ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.”’

«فَسَألتُهُمْ: ‹ما هَذا المُرتَفَعُ الَّذِي تَذهَبُونَ إلَيهِ؟› – لِذَلِكَ ما زالُوا يَدْعُونَ أماكِنَ عِبادَتِهِمْ ‹باما› إلَى هَذا اليَومِ!

30 T herefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your fathers, and committing harlotry according to their abominations?

«لِذا قُلْ لِبَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ: ‹هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ألَستُمْ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ بِالطَّرِيقَةِ ذاتِها الَّتِي تَنَجَّسَ آباؤُكُمْ بِها؟ ألَستُمْ تَزْنُونَ مَعَ أوثانِكُمُ القَذِرَةِ؟

31 F or when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.

أنتُمْ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ مِثلَهُمْ بِتَقدِيمِ تَقدِماتِهِمْ، وَبِحَرقِ أولادِكُمْ كَقِرابِينَ، وَبِأوثانِكُمُ القَذِرَةِ نَفسِها. وَمَعَ هَذا، تَتَوَّقَّعُونَ مِنِّي أنْ أسمَحَ لَكُمْ بِالمَجِيءِ إلَيَّ وَطَلَبِ كَلِمَةٍ وَنُصْحٍ مِنِّي؟ يا بَني إسْرائِيلَ، أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي، يَقُولُ اللهُ ، إنِّي لَنْ أسمَحَ لَكُمْ بِالمَجِيءِ إلَيَّ وَطَلَبِ النُّصحَ مِنِّي!

32 W hat you have in your mind shall never be, when you say, ‘We will be like the Gentiles, like the families in other countries, serving wood and stone.’ God Will Restore Israel

وَالفِكرَةُ الَّتِي تُفَكِّرُونَ بِها لَنْ تَتِّمَّ، إذْ تَقُولُونَ: لِنَكُنْ مِثلَ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى وَمِثلَ عَشائِرِ الأراضِي الأُخرَى، فَنَخدِمَ أصناماً خَشَبِيَّةً وَحَجَرِيَّةً.›

33 “ As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: ‹أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي إنِّي سَأملُكُ عَلَيكُمْ وَلَوْ تَطَلَّبَ الأمرُ يَداً قَوِيَّةً وَذِراعاً وَغَضَباً شَدِيداً يُسكَبُ عَلَيكُمْ.

34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

سَأُخرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَينِ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، وَأجمَعُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأراضِي حَيثُ أنتُمْ مَشَتَّتُونَ. سَأُخرِجُكُمْ بِيَدٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَذِراعٍ مَمدُودَةٍ وَغَضَبٍ شَدِيدٍ.

35 A nd I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face.

وَسَآخُذُكُمْ إلَى صَحراءَ خالِيَةٍ مِنَ النّاسِ، وَأحكُمُ فِي قَضِيَّتِي مَعَكُمْ وَجهاً لِوَجهٍ.

36 J ust as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

وَكَما حَسَمْتُ قَضِيَّتِي مَعَ آبائِكُمْ فِي صَحراءِ مِصرَ، هَكَذا سَأحسِمُ قَضِيَّتِي مَعَكُمْ.›» يَقُولُ الرّبُّ الإلَهُ.

37 “ I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

«وَسَأجعَلُكُمْ تَمُرُّونَ مِنْ تَحتِ عَصا الدَّينونَةِ، وَفْقاً لَلْعَهْدِ الذي بَيننا.

38 I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

ثُمَّ سَأُزِيلُ العُصاةَ مِنْ وَسَطِكُمْ، وَالَّذِينَ يَستَمِرُّونَ فِي التَّمَرُّدِ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الأرْضِ الَّتِي يَسكُنُونَ فِيها كالغُرَباءِ. سَأُزِيلُهُمْ، فَلا يَدُوسُونَ تُرابَ إسْرائِيلَ فِيما بَعدُ. حِينَئِذٍ، تَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ.»

39 “ As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God: “Go, serve every one of you his idols—and hereafter—if you will not obey Me; but profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «اذهَبُوا يا بَيتَ إسْرائِيلَ وَاعبُدُوا أوثانَكُمُ القَذِرَةَ. لَكِنْ مِنَ الآنِ فَصاعِداً، لا تَلجأَوا إلَيَّ، لِأنِّي لَنْ أسمَحَ بِتَدنِيسِ اسْمِيَ القُدُّوسِ بِتَقدِماتِكُمْ وَأوثانِكُمُ القَذِرَةِ.

40 F or on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.

لأنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: سَيَعبُدُنِي كُلُّ بَيتِ إسْرائِيلَ عَلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ، فِي جِبالِ إسْرائِيلَ العالِيَةِ. هُناكَ سَأقبَلُهُمْ، وَسَأقبَلُ تَقدِماتِهِمْ وَقَرابِينَهُمْ وَكُلَّ ذَبائِحِهِمِ المُقَدَّسَةِ.

41 I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles.

سَأقبَلُكُمْ وَأُسَرُّ بِرَوائِحِ ذَبائِحِكُمُ الطَّيِّبَةِ، حِينَ أُخرِجُكُمْ مِنْ بَينِ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، وَأجمَعُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الأراضِي حَيثُ كُنتُمْ مَشَتَّتِينَ، وَسَأُظهِرُ قَداسَتِي بَينَكُمْ أمامَ الأمَمِ!

42 T hen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.

سَتَعلَمُونَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ ، حِينَ أُعِيدُكُمْ إلَى أرْضِ إسْرائِيلَ، الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمتُ لآبائِكُمْ بِأنِّي سَأُعطِيها لهُمْ.

43 A nd there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed.

حِينَئِذٍ، سَتَتَذَكَّرُونَ كَيفَ عِشتُمْ، وَتَتَذَكَّرُونَ كُلَّ الشُّرُورِ الَّتِي عَمِلتُمُوها وَالَّتِي تَنَجَّستُمْ بِها، وَسَتَخجَلُونَ مِنَ الخَطايا الشِّرِّيرَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلتُمُوها.

44 T hen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’” Fire in the Forest

وَسَتَعلَمُونَ يا بَيتَ إسْرائِيلَ أنِّي أنا اللهُ ، حِينَ أُعامِلَكُمْ إكراماً لاسْمِي، لا بِحَسَبِ سُلُوكِكُمُ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَأعمالِكُمُ الفاسِدِةُ.» يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ.

45 F urthermore the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ثُمَّ أتَتْ إلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ اللهِ:

46 “ Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land, the South,

«يا إنْسانُ، انْظُرْ إلَى الجَنُوبِ نَحوَ تَيْمانَ، وَتَنَبَّأ ضِدَّ الجَنُوبِ، ضِدَّ تِلالِ النَّقبِ ذاتِ الغاباتِ.

47 a nd say to the forest of the South, ‘Hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it.

قُلْ لِغاباتِ النَّقبِ: ‹استَمِعِي إلَى كَلِمَةِ اللهِ. هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ: ها أنا أُشعِلُ ناراً فِيكَ، فَتَلتَهِمَ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضراءَ وَيابِسَةٍ، وَلَنْ يُطفِئَ نارَها شَيءٌ. وَسَتَنتَشِرُ النّارُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ مِنَ الجَنُوبِ إلَى الشَّمالِ.

48 A ll flesh shall see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”’”

حِينَئِذٍ، سَيَرَى الجَمِيعُ أنِّي أنا اللهَ الَّذِي أشعَلَها بِالنّارِ، وَلَنْ يُطفِئَ نارَها شَيءٌ.›»

49 T hen I said, “Ah, Lord God! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’”

فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ أيُّها الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ ، لَنْ يَفهَمَ هَؤُلاءِ النّاسُ ما أفعَلُهُ. إنَّهُمْ يَدعُونَنِي بِثَرثارِ الحِكاياتِ!»
