¹وقال لي يا ابن آدم كل ما تجده. كل هذا الدرج واذهب كلم بيت اسرائيل.

¹And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.

²ففتحت فمي فاطعمني ذلك الدرج.

²So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.

³وقال لي يا ابن آدم اطعم بطنك واملأ جوفك من هذا الدرج الذي انا معطيكه. فأكلته فصار في فمي كالعسل حلاوة

³And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

⁴فقال لي يا ابن آدم اذهب امض الى بيت اسرائيل وكلمهم بكلامي.

⁴And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

⁵لانك غير مرسل الى شعب غامض اللغة وثقيل اللسان بل الى بيت اسرائيل.

⁵For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

⁶لا الى شعوب كثيرة غامضة اللغة وثقيلة اللسان لست تفهم كلامهم. فلو ارسلتك الى هؤلاء لسمعوا لك.

⁶not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.

⁷لكن بيت اسرائيل لا يشاء ان يسمع لك. لانهم لا يشاؤون ان يسمعوا لي. لان كل بيت اسرائيل صلاب الجباه وقساة القلوب.

⁷But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of hard forehead and of a stiff heart.

⁸هانذا قد جعلت وجهك صلبا مثل وجوههم وجبهتك صلبة مثل جباههم.

⁸Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.

⁹قد جعلت جبهتك كالماس اصلب من الصوان فلا تخفهم ولا ترتعب من وجوههم لانهم بيت متمرد

⁹As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

¹⁰وقال لي يا ابن آدم كل الكلام الذي اكلمك به اوعه في قلبك واسمعه باذنيك.

¹⁰Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.

¹¹وامض اذهب الى المسبيين الى بني شعبك وكلمهم وقل لهم هكذا قال السيد الرب ان سمعوا وان امتنعوا.

¹¹And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

¹²ثم حملني روح فسمعت خلفي صوت رعد عظيم مبارك مجد الرب من مكانه.

¹²Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.

¹³وصوت اجنحة الحيوانات المتلاصقة الواحد باخيه وصوت البكرات معها وصوت رعد عظيم.

¹³And [I heard] the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

¹⁴فحملني الروح واخذني فذهبت مرّا في حرارة روحي ويد الرب كانت شديدة عليّ

¹⁴So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

¹⁵فجئت الى المسبيين عند تل ابيب الساكنين عند نهر خابور وحيث سكنوا هناك سكنت سبعة ايام متحيرا في وسطهم.

¹⁵Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

¹⁶وكان عند تمام السبعة الايام ان كلمة الرب صارت اليّ قائلة.

¹⁶And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹⁷يا ابن آدم قد جعلتك رقيبا لبيت اسرائيل. فاسمع الكلمة من فمي وانذرهم من قبلي.

¹⁷Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

¹⁸اذا قلت للشرير موتا تموت وما انذرته انت ولا تكلمت انذارا للشرير من طريقه الرديئة لإحيائه فذلك الشرير يموت باثمه اما دمه فمن يدك اطلبه.

¹⁸When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

¹⁹وان انذرت انت الشرير ولم يرجع عن شره ولا عن طريقه الرديئة فانه يموت باثمه. اما انت فقد نجيت نفسك.

¹⁹Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

²⁰والبار ان رجع عن بره وعمل اثما وجعلت معثرة امامه فانه يموت. لانك لم تنذره يموت في خطيته ولا يذكر بره الذي عمله. اما دمه فمن يدك اطلبه.

²⁰Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

²¹وان انذرت انت البار من ان يخطئ البار وهو لم يخطئ فانه حياة يحيا لانه انذر وانت تكون قد نجيت نفسك

²¹Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.

²²وكانت يد الرب عليّ هناك وقال لي قم اخرج الى البقعة وهناك اكلمك.

²²And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

²³فقمت وخرجت الى البقعة واذا بمجد الرب واقف هناك كالمجد الذي رايته عند نهر خابور. فخررت على وجهي

²³Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

²⁴فدخل فيّ روح واقامني على قدميّ. ثم كلمني وقال لي. اذهب اغلق على نفسك في وسط بيتك.

²⁴Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.

²⁵وانت يا ابن آدم فها هم يضعون عليك ربطا ويقيدونك بها فلا تخرج في وسطهم.

²⁵But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

²⁶وألصق لسانك بحنكك فتبكم ولا تكون لهم رجلا موبخا لانهم بيت متمرد.

²⁶and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷فاذا كلمتك افتح فمك فتقول لهم هكذا قال السيد الرب. من يسمع فليسمع ومن يمتنع فليمتنع. لانهم بيت متمرد

²⁷But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
