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

¹And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what 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 that 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 which I give thee. And I ate, 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 strange language, and of difficult speech, [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 strange language and of difficult speech, whose words thou canst not understand: had I sent thee to them, would they not 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 none of them will hearken unto me. For all the house of Israel are hard of forehead and stiff of 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 them, for they are a rebellious house.

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

¹⁰And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words which 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.

¹²And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound 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.

¹³-- and the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great rushing.

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

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁵And I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I sat there astonied 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 appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear the word from 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 certainly die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live: 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.

¹⁹But 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.

²⁰And when a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous acts 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

²¹And if thou warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall certainly live, for he hath taken 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 valley, and there I will talk with thee.

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

²³And I arose, and went forth into the valley, and behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, like 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.

²⁴And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke 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.

²⁵And thou, son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee therewith, 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

²⁷And 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.
