Ezekiel 12

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 “Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.

2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتٍ مُتَمَرِّدٍ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لِيَنْظُرُوا وَلَا يَنْظُرُونَ. لَهُمْ آذَانٌ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

3 Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.

3 وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَهَيِّئْ لِنَفْسِكَ أُهْبَةَ جَلَاءٍ، وَٱرْتَحِلْ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَٱرْتَحِلْ مِنْ مَكَانِكَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آخَرَ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ، لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

4 Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.

4 فَتُخْرِجُ أُهْبَتَكَ كَأُهْبَةِ ٱلْجَلَاءِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ نَهَارًا، وَأَنْتَ تَخْرُجُ مَسَاءً قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ كَٱلْخَارِجِينَ إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ.

5 As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.

5 وَٱنْقُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ وَأَخْرِجْهَا مِنْهُ.

6 And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”

6 وَٱحْمِلْ عَلَى كَتِفِكَ قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ تُخْرِجُهَا. تُغَطِّي وَجْهَكَ فَلَا تَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ. لِأَنِّي جَعَلْتُكَ آيَةً لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.

7 فَفَعَلْتُ هَكَذَا كَمَا أُمِرْتُ، فَأَخْرَجْتُ أُهْبَتِي كَأُهْبَةِ ٱلْجَلَاءِ نَهَارًا، وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ نَقَبْتُ لِنَفْسِي فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ بِيَدِي، وَأَخْرَجْتُ فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ، وَحَمَلْتُ عَلَى كَتِفِي قُدَّامَ عُيُونِهِمْ.

8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

8 وَفِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ كَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

9 “Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’

9 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَكَ بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدُ: مَاذَا تَصْنَعُ؟

10 Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’

10 قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. هَذَا ٱلْوَحْيُ هُوَ ٱلرَّئِيسُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَكُلِّ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ.

11 You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives.

11 قُلْ: أَنَا آيَةٌ لَكُمْ. كَمَا صَنَعْتُ هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ بِهِمْ. إِلَى ٱلْجَلَاءِ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُونَ.

12 And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land.

12 وَٱلرَّئِيسُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسْطِهِمْ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ فِي ٱلْعَتَمَةِ وَيَخْرُجُ. يَنْقُبُونَ فِي ٱلْحَائِطِ لِيُخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ. يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ لِكَيْلَا يَنْظُرَ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ.

13 But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.

13 وَأَبْسُطُ شَبَكَتِي عَلَيْهِ فَيُؤْخَذُ فِي شَرَكِي، وَآتِي بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَرَاهَا وَهُنَاكَ يَمُوتُ.

14 And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.

14 وَأُذَرِّي فِي كُلِّ رِيحٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ لِنَصْرِهِ، وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَأَسْتَلُّ ٱلسَّيْفَ وَرَاءَهُمْ.

15 And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.

15 فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أُبَدِّدُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُذَرِّيهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

16 But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

16 وَأُبْقِي مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا مَعْدُودِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَمِنَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَمِنَ ٱلْوَبَإِ، لِكَيْ يُحَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ رَجَاسَاتِهِمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْهَا، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

17 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلَةً:

18 “Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.

18 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، كُلْ خُبْزَكَ بِٱرْتِعَاشٍ، وَٱشْرَبْ مَاءَكَ بِٱرْتِعَادٍ وَغَمٍّ.

19 Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.

19 وَقُلْ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزَهُمْ بِٱلْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ مَاءَهُمْ بِحَيْرَةٍ، لِكَيْ تَخْرَبَ أَرْضُهَا عَنْ مِلْئِهَا مِنْ ظُلْمِ كُلِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

20 وَٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ تَخْرَبُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُقْفِرُ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

21 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

21 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ‘The days go by, and every vision fails’?

22 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مَا هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِي لَكُمْ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْقَائِلُ: قَدْ طَالَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ وَخَابَتْ كُلُّ رُؤْيَا.

23 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.’ But say to them: ‘The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.

23 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: أُبَطِّلُ هَذَا ٱلْمَثَلَ فَلَا يُمَثِّلُونَ بِهِ بَعْدُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. بَلْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلْأَيَّامُ وَكَلَامُ كُلِّ رُؤْيَا.

24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,

24 لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ بَعْدُ رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةٌ وَلَا عِرَافَةٌ مَلِقَةٌ فِي وَسْطِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

25 because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”

25 لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا تَكُونُ. لَا تَطُولُ بَعْدُ. لِأَنِّي فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَيْتُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدُ أَقُولُ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ وَأُجْرِيهَا، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

26 Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

26 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

27 “Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’

27 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هُوَذَا بَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلُونَ: ٱلرُّؤْيَا ٱلَّتِي هُوَ رَائِيهَا هِيَ إِلَى أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَهُوَ مُتَنَبِّئٌ لِأَزْمِنَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ.

28 Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’”

28 لِذَلِكَ قُلْ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا يَطُولُ بَعْدُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِي. اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهَا تَكُونُ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
