Ezechiele (حزقيال) 17

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 يا ابن آدم حاج أحجية ومثّل مثلا لبيت اسرائيل	2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,
3 وقل. هكذا قال السيد الرب. نسر عظيم كبير الجناحين طويل القوادم واسع المناكب ذو تهاويل جاء الى لبنان واخذ فرع الارز.	3 And say: Thus saith the Lord God: A large eagle with great wings, long-limbed, full of feathers, and of variety, came to Libanus, and took away the marrow of the cedar.
4 قصف راس خراعيبه وجاء به الى ارض كنعان وجعله في مدينة التجار.	4 He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants.
5 واخذ من زرع الارض والقاه في حقل الزرع. وجعله على مياه كثيرة. اقامه كالصفصاف.	5 And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth.
6 فنبت وصار كرمة منتشرة قصيرة الساق. انعطفت عليه زراجينها وكانت اصولها تحته فصارت كرمة وانبتت فروعا وافرخت اغصانا.	6 And it sprung up and grew into a spreading vine of low stature, and the branches thereof looked towards him: and the roots thereof were under him. So it became a vine, and grew into branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 وكان نسر آخر عظيم كبير الجناحين واسع المنكب فاذا بهذه الكرمة عطفت عليه اصولها وانبتت نحوه زراجينها ليسقيها في خمائل غرسها.	7 And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 في حقل جيد على مياه كثيرة هي مغروسة لتنبت اغصانا وتحمل ثمرا فتكون كرمة واسعة.	8 It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine.
9 قل. هكذا قال السيد الرب. هل تنجح. أفلا يقلع اصولها ويقطع ثمرها فتيبس. كل من اوراق اغصانها تيبس وليس بذراع عظيمة او بشعب كثير ليقلعوها من اصولها.	9 Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people, to pluck it up by the root?
10 ها هي المغروسة فهل تنجح. ألا تيبس يبسا كأن ريحا شرقية اصابتها. في خمائل نبتها تيبس	10 Behold, it is planted: shall it prosper then? shall it not be dried up when the burning wind shall touch it, and shall it not wither in the furrows where it grew?
11 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا	11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
12 قل للبيت المتمرد أما علمتم ما هذه. قل هوذا ملك بابل قد جاء الى اورشليم واخذ ملكها ورؤساءها وجاء بهم اليه الى بابل.	12 Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof, and carry them with him to Babylon.
13 واخذ من الزرع الملكي وقطع معه عهدا وادخله في قسم واخذ اقوياء الارض	13 And he shall take one of the king's seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land,
14 لتكون المملكة حقيرة ولا ترتفع. لتحفظ العهد فتثبت.	14 That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant, and observe it.
15 فتمرد عليه بارساله رسله الى مصر ليعطوه خيلا وشعبا كثيرين. فهل ينجح هل يفلت فاعل هذا او ينقض عهدا ويفلت.	15 But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant?
16 حيّ انا يقول السيد الرب ان في موضع الملك الذي ملّكه الذي ازدرى قسمه ونقض عهده فعنده في وسط بابل يموت.	16 As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die.
17 ولا بجيش عظيم وجمع غفير يعينه فرعون في الحرب باقامة مترسة وبناء برج لقطع نفوس كثيرة.	17 And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls.
18 اذ ازدرى القسم لنقض العهد وهوذا قد اعطى يده وفعل هذا كله فلا يفلت.	18 For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 لاجل ذلك هكذا قال السيد الرب. حيّ انا ان قسمي الذي ازدراه وعهدي الذي نقضه اردهما على راسه.	19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken.
20 وابسط شبكتي عليه فيؤخذ في شركي وآتي به الى بابل واحاكمه هناك على خيانته التي خانني بها.	20 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me.
21 وكل هاربيه وكل جيوشه يسقطون بالسيف والباقون يذرون في كل ريح فتعلمون اني انا الرب تكلمت	21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword: and the residue shall be scattered into every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
22 هكذا قال السيد الرب وآخذ انا من فرع الارز العالي واغرسه واقطف من راس خراعيبه غصنا واغرسه على جبل عال وشامخ.	22 Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent.
23 في جبل اسرائيل العالي اغرسه فينبت اغصانا ويحمل ثمرا ويكون ارزا واسعا فيسكن تحته كل طائر كل ذي جناح يسكن في ظل اغصانه.	23 On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches, and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof.
24 فتعلم جميع اشجار الحقل اني انا الرب وضعت الشجرة الرفيعة ورفعت الشجرة الوضيعة ويبّست الشجرة الخضراء وافرخت الشجرة اليابسة. انا الرب تكلمت وفعلت	24 And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it.
