Ezekiel 28

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

1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 “Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِمَلِكِ صُورَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ تَكَبَّرْتَ وَقُلْتَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ، وَأَتَرَبَّعُ فِي مَجْلِسِ الآلِهَةِ، فِي قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ؛ مَعَ أَنَّكَ إِنْسَانٌ وَلَسْتَ إِلَهاً، وَإِنْ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ لَدَيْكَ حِكْمَةَ الآلِهَةِ!

3 Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!

3 هَا أَنْتَ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ دَانِيالَ وَلا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ سِرٌّ.

4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained your wealth and amassed gold and silver for your treasuries.

4 قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذْتَ بِحِكْمَتِكَ وَفَهْمِكَ عَلَى الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَادَّخَرْتَهَا فِي خَزَائِنِكَ،

5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.

5 وَبِمَهَارَتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ فِي التِّجَارَةِ ضَاعَفْتَ ثَرْوَتَكَ، فَتَكَبَّرَ قَلْبُكَ لِفَرْطِ غِنَاكَ.

6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,

6 لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ لَدَيْكَ حِكْمَةَ الآلِهَةِ،

7 behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.

7 هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَيْكَ غُرَبَاءَ مِنْ أَعْتَى الأُمَمِ، فَيُجَرِّدُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَى بَهَاءِ حِكْمَتِكَ، وَيُدَنِّسُونَ جَمَالَكَ.

8 They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

8 يَطْرَحُونَكَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ فَتَمُوتُ مَوْتَ الْقَتْلَى فِي أَعْمَاقِ الْبِحَارِ.

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.

9 أَتَظَلُّ تَقُولُ أَنَئِذٍ أَمَامَ قَاتِلِكَ: أَنَا إِلَهٌ؟ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ لَا إِلَهٌ فِي قَبْضَةِ ذَابِحِيكَ.

10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”

10 فَتَلْقَى حَتْفَكَ كَالْغُلْفِ بِيَدِ الْغُرَبَاءِ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قَضَيْتُ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

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

11 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

12 “Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

12 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، انْدُبْ مَلِكَ صُورَ بِمَرْثَاةٍ وَقُلْ لَهُ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: كُنْتَ خَاتِمَ الْكَمَالِ، مُفْعَماً بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَكَامِلَ الْجَمَالِ.

13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

13 كُنْتَ فِي جَنَّةِ اللهِ عَدْنٍ، حِجَابُكَ كُلُّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ وَزَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشْبٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَبَهْرَمَانُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ وَذَهَبٌ. صَاغُوا مِنْهُ بُيُوتَ حِجَارَتِكَ الْكَرِيمَةِ وَتَرْصِيعَاتِكَ يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ.

14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for I had ordained you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.

14 وَمَسَحْتُكَ لِتَكُونَ الْكَرُوبِيمَ الْمُظَلِّلَ وَأَقَمْتُكَ عَلَى جَبَلِ اللهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَمَشَّيْتَ بَيْنَ حِجَارَةِ النَّارِ.

15 From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you.

15 كُنْتَ كَامِلاً فِي طُرُقِكَ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ خُلِقْتَ إِلَى أَنْ وُجِدَ فِيكَ إِثْمٌ.

16 By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

16 إِنَّمَا بِسَبَبِ كَثْرَةِ تِجَارَتِكَ امْتَلأَ دَاخِلُكَ ظُلْماً، فَأَخْطَأْتَ. لِهَذَا أَطْرَحُكَ مِنْ جَبَلِ اللهِ كَشَيْءٍ نَجِسٍ، وَأُبِيدُكَ أَيُّهَا الْكَرُوبُ الْمُظَلِّلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ حِجَارَةِ النَّارِ.

17 Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.

17 قَدْ تَكَبَّرَ قَلْبُكَ بِسَبَبِ بَهَائِكَ، وَأَفْسَدْتَ حِكْمَتَكَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ جَلالِكَ. سَأُلْقِي بِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ لِتَكُونَ عُرْضَةً لِعُيُونِهِمِ الْهَازِئَةِ.

18 By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

18 قَدْ نَجَّسْتَ مَقَادِسَكَ بِفَرْطِ آثَامِكَ وَتِجَارَتِكَ الظَّالِمَةِ. لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُ النَّارَ تَنْدَلِعُ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ فَتَلْتَهِمُكَ، وَأُحَوِّلُكَ إِلَى رَمَادٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَمَامَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَرَاكَ.

19 All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”

19 فَيَتَحَيَّرُ لِمَا أَصَابَكَ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ، إِذْ تَحُلُّ بِكَ الأَهْوَالُ وَلا يَبْقَى مِنْكَ أَثَرٌ».

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

20 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

21 “Son of man, set your face against Sidon and prophesy against her.

21 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ صَيْدُونَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا.

22 And you are to declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified within you. They will know that I am the LORD when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her.

22 وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكِ يَا صيْدُونُ وَأَتَجَلَّى بِمَجْدِي فِيكِ فَيُدْرِكُ سُكَّانُكِ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أُنَفِّذُ فِيكِ أَحْكَاماً وَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِي وَسَطِكِ.

23 I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

23 أَجْعَلُ الْوَبَأَ يَتَفَشَّى فِيكِ وَتُسْفَكُ دِمَاءٌ فِي أَزِقَّتِكِ، وَيَتَسَاقَطُ فِي وَسَطِكِ جَرْحَى السَّيْفِ الَّذِي يُحْدِقُ بِكِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

24 For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’

24 فَلا يَتَعَرَّضُ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى وَخَزَاتِ الْعُلَّيْقِ وَلا إلَى شَوْكَةٍ مُؤْذِيَةٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِهِمْ مِمَّنْ تُبْغِضُهُمْ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

25 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob.

25 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: عِنْدَمَا أَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي تَفَرَّقُوا إِلَيْهَا، وَتَتَجَلَّى قَدَاسَتِي فِيهِمْ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ الأُمَمِ، عِنْدَمَا يَعُودُونَ وَيَسْتَوْطِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِعَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ،

26 And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”

26 وَيُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا مُطْمَئِنِّينَ وَيُشَيِّدُونَ بُيُوتاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً وَيَسْكُنُونَ آمِنِينَ. وَعِنْدَمَا أُنَفِّذُ أَحْكَاماً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِمْ، عِنْدَئِذٍ يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ».
