1 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2 يا ابن آدم كلم بني شعبك وقل لهم. اذا جلبت السيف على ارض فان اخذ شعب الارض رجلا من بينهم وجعلوه رقيبا لهم2 'Son of man, speak to the people of your country. Say to them, "When I send the sword against thepeople of that country, take one of their number and post him as a watchman;
3 فاذا رأى السيف مقبلا على الارض نفخ في البوق وحذّر الشعب3 if he sees the sword coming against the country, he must sound his horn to warn the people.
4 وسمع السامع صوت البوق ولم يتحذّر فجاء السيف واخذه فدمه يكون على راسه.4 If someone hears the sound of the horn but pays no attention and the sword overtakes him anddestroys him, he wil have been responsible for his own death.
5 سمع صوت البوق ولم يتحذّر فدمه يكون على نفسه. لو تحذّر لخلّص نفسه.5 He has heard the sound of the horn and paid no attention; his death wil be his own responsibility. But the life of someone who pays attention will be secure.
6 فان رأى الرقيب السيف مقبلا ولم ينفخ في البوق ولم يتحذّر الشعب فجاء السيف واخذ نفسا منهم فهو قد أخذ بذنبه اما دمه فمن يد الرقيب اطلبه6 "If, however, the watchman has seen the sword coming but has not blown his horn, and so the peopleare not alerted and the sword overtakes them and destroys a single one of them, that person wil indeed die forhis guilt, but I shal hold the watchman responsible for his death."
7 وانت يا ابن آدم فقد جعلتك رقيبا لبيت اسرائيل فتسمع الكلام من فمي وتحذّرهم من قبلي.7 'Son of man I have appointed you as watchman for the House of Israel. When you hear a word frommy mouth, warn them from me.
8 اذا قلت للشرير يا شرير موتا تموت. فان لم تتكلم لتحذّر الشرير من طريقه فذلك الشرير يموت بذنبه. اما دمه فمن يدك اطلبه.8 If I say to someone wicked, "Evil- doer, you are to die," and you do not speak to warn the wickedperson to renounce such ways, the wicked person wil die for this guilt, but I shal hold you responsible for thedeath.
9 وان حذّرت الشرير من طريقه ليرجع عنه ولم يرجع عن طريقه فهو يموت بذنبه. اما انت فقد خلصت نفسك.9 If, however, you do warn someone wicked to renounce such ways and repent, and that person doesnot repent, then the culprit wil die for this guilt, but you yourself wil have saved your life.
10 وانت يا ابن آدم فكلم بيت اسرائيل وقل. انتم تتكلمون هكذا قائلين. ان معاصينا وخطايانا علينا وبها نحن فانون فكيف نحيا.10 'Son of man, say to the House of Israel, "You are continual y saying: Our crimes and sins weighheavily on us; we are wasting away because of them. How are we to go on living?"
11 قل لهم. حيّ انا يقول السيد الرب اني لا اسر بموت الشرير بل بان يرجع الشرير عن طريقه ويحيا. ارجعوا ارجعوا عن طرقكم الرديئة. فلماذا تموتون يا بيت اسرائيل.11 Say to them, "As I live -- declares the Lord Yahweh -- I do not take pleasure in the death of thewicked but in the conversion of the wicked who changes his ways and saves his life. Repent, turn back from yourevil ways. Why die, House of Israel?"
12 وانت يا ابن آدم فقل لبني شعبك. ان بر البار لا ينجيه في يوم معصيته والشرير لا يعثر بشره في يوم رجوعه عن شره ولا يستطيع البار ان يحيا ببره في يوم خطيئته.12 'Son of man, say to the members of your nation, "The uprightness of an upright person wil not savehim once he takes to wrong-doing; the wickedness of a wicked person wil not ruin him once he renounces hiswickedness. No one upright wil be able to live on the strength of uprightness, having once taken to sinning.
13 اذا قلت للبار حياة تحيا. فاتكل هو على بره وأثم فبره كله لا يذكر بل باثمه الذي فعله يموت.13 If I say to someone upright: You are to live, and then, trusting in this uprightness, he does wrong,none of the uprightness wil be remembered; because of the wrong-doing, he will die.
14 واذا قلت للشرير موتا تموت. فان رجع عن خطيته وعمل بالعدل والحق14 If, however, I say to someone wicked: You are to die, and he turns back from sin and does what islawful and upright,
15 ان رد الشرير الرهن وعوّض عن المغتصب وسلك في فرائض الحياة بلا عمل اثم فانه حياة يحيا. لا يموت.15 if he returns pledges, restores what he has stolen, keeps the laws that give life and no longer doeswrong, he wil live and wil not die.
16 كل خطيته التي اخطأ بها لا تذكر عليه. عمل بالعدل والحق فيحيا حياة.16 None of his previous sins wil be remembered against him; having done what is lawful and upright, hewil live.
17 وابناء شعبك يقولون ليست طريق الرب مستوية. بل هم طريقهم غير مستوية.17 "But the members of your nation say: What the Lord does is unjust. But it is what you do that isunjust.
18 عند رجوع البار عن بره وعند عمله اثما فانه يموت به.18 When an upright person gives up being upright and does wrong, he dies for it.
19 وعند رجوع الشرير عن شره وعند عمله بالعدل والحق فانه يحيا بهما.19 And when a wicked person gives up being wicked and does what is lawful and upright, because ofthis he lives.
20 وانتم تقولون ان طريق الرب غير مستوية. اني احكم على كل واحد منكم كطرقه يا بيت اسرائيل20 But you say: What the Lord does is unjust! I shal judge each of you by what you do, House of Israel."'
21 وكان في السنة الثانية عشرة من سبينا في الشهر العاشر في الخامس من الشهر انه جاء اليّ منفلت من اورشليم فقال قد ضربت المدينة.21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, on the fifth day of the tenth month, a fugitive arrived fromJerusalem and said to me, 'The city has been taken.'
22 وكانت يد الرب عليّ مساء قبل مجيء المنفلت وفتحت فمي حتى جاء اليّ صباحا فانفتح فمي ولم اكن بعد ابكم.22 Now the hand of the Lord had been on me the evening before the fugitive arrived; he had opened mymouth before the fugitive came to me the next morning; my mouth had been opened and I was dumb no longer.
23 فكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا23 The word of Yahweh was then addressed to me as follows,
24 يا ابن آدم ان الساكنين في هذه الخرب في ارض اسرائيل يتكلمون قائلين ان ابراهيم كان واحدا وقد ورث الارض. ونحن كثيرون. لنا أعطيت الارض ميراثا.24 'Son of man, the people living in those ruins on the soil of Israel say this, "Abraham was alone whenhe was given possession of this country. But we are many; the country has been given us as our heritage."
25 لذلك قل لهم. هكذا قال السيد الرب. تأكلون بالدم وترفعون اعينكم الى اصنامكم وتسفكون الدم. أفترثون الارض.25 'Very wel , tell them, "The Lord Yahweh says this: You eat blood, you raise your eyes to your foulidols, you shed blood; are you to own the country?
26 وقفتم على سيفكم. فعلتم الرجس وكل منكم نجس امرأة صاحبه. أفترثون الارض.26 You rely on your swords, you engage in loathsome practices, each of you defiles his neighbour'swife; are you to own the country?"
27 قل لهم. هكذا قال السيد الرب. حيّ انا ان الذين في الخرب يسقطون بالسيف والذي هو على وجه الحقل ابذله للوحش مأكلا والذين في الحصون وفي المغاير يموتون بالوبأ.27 Tel them this, "The Lord Yahweh says this: As I live, I swear it, those in the ruins wil fal to thesword, those in the countryside I shal give to the wild animals for them to eat, and those among the crags and incaves wil die of plague.
28 فاجعل الارض خربة مقفرة وتبطل كبرياء عزتها وتخرب جبال اسرائيل بلا عابر.28 I shal make the country a desolate waste, and the pride of its strength will be at an end. Themountains of Israel wil be deserted and no one will pass that way again.
29 فيعلمون اني انا الرب حين اجعل الارض خربة مقفرة على كل رجاساتهم التي فعلوها29 Then they wil know that I am Yahweh, when I make the country a desolate waste because of all thefilthy things they have done."
30 وانت يا ابن آدم فان بني شعبك يتكلمون عليك بجانب الجدران وفي ابواب البيوت ويتكلم الواحد مع الآخر الرجل مع اخيه قائلين هلم اسمعوا ما هو الكلام الخارج من عند الرب.30 'Son of man, the members of your nation are talking about you on the ramparts and in doorways.They keep saying to one another, "Come and hear the word that has come from Yahweh."
31 وياتون اليك كما ياتي الشعب ويجلسون امامك كشعبي ويسمعون كلامك ولا يعملون به لانهم بافواههم يظهرون اشواقا وقلبهم ذاهب وراء كسبهم.31 They throng towards you; my people sit down in front of you and listen to your words, but they do notact on them. What they act on is the lie in their mouths, and their hearts are set on dishonest gain.
32 وها انت لهم كشعر اشواق لجميل الصوت يحسن العزف فيسمعون كلامك ولا يعملون به32 As far as they are concerned, you are like a love song pleasantly sung to a good musicalaccompaniment. They listen to your words, but no one acts on them.
33 واذا جاء هذا. لانه ياتي. فيعلمون ان نبيا كان في وسطهم33 When the thing takes place -- and it is beginning now -- they wil know that there has been a prophet among them.'
