¹وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا.

¹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man,

²يا ابن آدم كان امرأتان ابنتا ام واحدة.

²Two women were daughters of one mother,

³وزنتا بمصر. في صباهما زنتا. هناك دغدغت ثديّهما وهناك تزغزغت ترائب عذرتهما.

³And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.

⁴واسمها أهولة الكبيرة وأهوليبة اختها وكانتا لي وولدتا بنين وبنات. واسماهما السامرة أهولة واورشليم أهوليبة.

⁴And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names — Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.

⁵وزنت أهولة من تحتي وعشقت محبيها اشور الابطال

⁵And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,

⁶اللابسين الاسمانجوني ولاة وشحنا كلهم شبان شهوة فرسان راكبون الخيل.

⁶Clothed with blue — governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,

⁷فدفعت لهم عقرها لمختاري بني اشور كلهم وتنجست بكل من عشقتهم بكل اصنامهم.

⁷And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them — even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.

⁸ولم تترك زناها من مصر ايضا لانهم ضاجعوها في صباها وزغزغوا ترائب عذرتها وسكبوا عليها زناهم.

⁸And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.

⁹لذلك سلمتها ليد عشّاقها ليد بني اشور الذين عشقتهم.

⁹Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted.

¹⁰هم كشفوا عورتها. اخذوا بنيها وبناتها وذبحوها بالسيف فصارت عبرة للنساء واجروا عليها حكما

¹⁰They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.

¹¹فلما رأت اختها أهوليبة ذلك افسدت في عشقها اكثر منها وفي زناها اكثر من زنى اختها.

¹¹And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.

¹²عشقت بني اشور الولاة والشحن الابطال اللابسين افخر لباس فرسانا راكبين الخيل كلهم شبان شهوة

¹²On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones — clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.

¹³فرأيت انها قد تنجست ولكلتيهما طريق واحدة.

¹³And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.

¹⁴وزادت زناها ولما نظرت الى رجال مصوّرين على الحائط صور الكلدانيين مصوّرة بمغرة

¹⁴And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,

¹⁵منطقين بمناطق على احقائهم عمائمهم مسدولة على رؤوسهم. كلهم في المنظر رؤساء مركبات شبه بني بابل الكلدانيين ارض ميلادهم

¹⁵Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers — all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.

¹⁶عشقتهم عند لمح عينيها اياهم وارسلت اليهم رسلا الى ارض الكلدانيين.

¹⁶And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.

¹⁷فاتاها بنو بابل في مضجع الحب ونجسوها بزناهم فتنجست بهم وجفتهم نفسها.

¹⁷And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.

¹⁸وكشفت زناها وكشفت عورتها فجفتها نفسي كما جفت نفسي اختها.

¹⁸And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.

¹⁹واكثرت زناها بذكرها ايام صباها التي فيها زنت بارض مصر.

¹⁹And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.

²⁰وعشقت معشوقيهم الذين لحمهم كلحم الحمير ومنيّهم كمنيّ الخيل.

²⁰And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses — their issue.

²¹وافتقدت رذيلة صباك بزغزغة المصريين ترائبك لاجل ثدي صباك

²¹Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.

²²لاجل ذلك يا أهوليبة هكذا قال السيد الرب. هانذا اهيج عليك عشّاقك الذين جفتهم نفسك وآتي بهم عليك من كل جهة

²²Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.

²³بني بابل وكل الكلدانيين فقود وشوع وقوع ومعهم كل بني اشور شبان شهوة ولاة وشحن كلهم رؤساء مركبات وشهراء. كلهم راكبون الخيل.

²³Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them — rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.

²⁴فياتون عليك باسلحة مركبات وعجلات وبجماعة شعوب يقيمون عليك الترس والمجن والخوذة من حولك واسلم لهم الحكم فيحكمون عليك بأحكامهم.

²⁴And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.

²⁵واجعل غيرتي عليك فيعاملونك بالسخط. يقطعون انفك واذنيك وبقيتك تسقط بالسيف. يأخذون بنيك وبناتك وتؤكل بقيتك بالنار.

²⁵And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.

²⁶وينزعون عنك ثيابك وياخذون ادوات زينتك.

²⁶And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.

²⁷وابطل رذيلتك عنك وزناك من ارض مصر فلا ترفعين عينيك اليهم ولا تذكرين مصر بعد.

²⁷And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.

²⁸لانه هكذا قال السيد الرب هانذا اسلمك ليد الذين ابغضتهم ليد الذين جفتهم نفسك.

²⁸For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.

²⁹فيعاملونك بالبغضاء وياخذون كل تعبك ويتركونك عريانة وعارية فتنكشف عورة زناك ورذيلتك وزناك.

²⁹And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.

³⁰افعل بك هذا لانك زنيت وراء الامم لانك تنجست باصنامهم.

³⁰To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,

³¹في طريق اختك سلكت فادفع كأسها ليدك.

³¹In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.

³²هكذا قال السيد الرب. انك تشربين كاس اختك العميقة الكبيرة. تكونين للضحك وللاستهزاء تسع كثيرا.

³²Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.

³³تمتلئين سكرا وحزنا كاس التحيّر والخراب كاس اختك السامرة.

³³With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria.

³⁴فتشربينها وتمتصينها وتقضمين شقفها وتجتثّين ثدييك لاني تكلمت يقول السيد الرب.

³⁴And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,

³⁵لذلك هكذا قال السيد الرب من اجل انك نسيتني وطرحتني وراء ظهرك فتحملي ايضا رذيلتك وزناك

³⁵Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.`

³⁶وقال الرب لي يا ابن آدم أتحكم على أهولة وأهوليبة. بل اخبرهما برجاساتهما.

³⁶And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations.

³⁷لانهما قد زنتا وفي ايديهما دم وزنتا باصنامهما وايضا اجازتا بنيهما الذين ولدتاهم لي النار اكلا لها.

³⁷For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.

³⁸وفعلتا ايضا بي هذا. نجستا مقدسي في ذلك اليوم ودنستا سبوتي.

³⁸Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.

³⁹ولما ذبحتا بنيهما لاصنامهما اتتا في ذلك اليوم الى مقدسي لتنجساه. فهوذا هكذا فعلتا في وسط بيتي.

³⁹And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house,

⁴⁰بل ارسلتما الى رجال آتين من بعيد. الذين ارسل اليهم رسول فهوذا جاءوا. هم الذين لاجلهم استحممت وكحلت عينيك وتحليت بالحلي

⁴⁰And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.

⁴¹وجلست على سرير فاخر امامه مائدة منضّضة ووضعت عليها بخوري وزيتي.

⁴¹And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.

⁴²وصوت جمهور مترفهين معها مع اناس من رعاع الخلق أتي بسكارى من البرية الذين جعلوا اسورة على ايديهما وتاج جمال على رؤوسهما.

⁴²And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.

⁴³فقلت عن البالية في الزنى الآن يزنون زنى معها وهي***.

⁴³And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms — she also!

⁴⁴فدخلوا عليها كما يدخل على امرأة زانية. هكذا دخلوا على أهولة وعلى أهوليبة المرأتين الزانيتين.

⁴⁴And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah — the wicked women.

⁴⁵والرجال الصدّيقون هم يحكمون عليهما حكم زانية وحكم سفاكة الدم لانهما زانيتان وفي ايديهما دم.

⁴⁵As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.

⁴⁶لانه هكذا قال السيد الرب. اني أصعد عليهما جماعة واسلّمهما للجور والنهب.

⁴⁶For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.

⁴⁷وترجمهما الجماعة بالحجارة ويقطّعونهما بسيوفهم ويذبحون ابناءهما وبناتهما ويحرقون بيوتهما بالنار.

⁴⁷And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.

⁴⁸فابطل الرذيلة من الارض فتتأدب جميع النساء ولا يفعلن مثل رذيلتكما.

⁴⁸And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.

⁴⁹ويردّون عليكما رذيلتكما فتحملان خطايا اصنامكما وتعلمان اني انا السيد الرب

⁴⁹And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah!
