¹وكانت اليّ كلمة الرب قائلة.

¹Again the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

²يا ابن آدم عرّف اورشليم برجاساتها

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

³وقل. هكذا قال السيد الرب لاورشليم. مخرجك ومولدك من ارض كنعان. ابوك اموري وامك حثية.

³and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

⁴اما ميلادك يوم ولدت فلم تقطع سرتك ولم تغسلي بالماء للتنظّف ولم تملّحي تمليحا ولم تقمّطي تقميطا.

⁴As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵لم تشفق عليك عين لتصنع لك واحدة من هذه لترق لك. بل طرحت على وجه الحقل بكراهة نفسك يوم ولدت.

⁵No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

⁶فمررت بك ورأيتك مدوسة بدمك فقلت لك بدمك عيشي. قلت لك بدمك عيشي.

⁶When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

⁷جعلتك ربوة كنبات الحقل فربوت وكبرت وبلغت زينة الازيان. نهد ثدياك ونبت شعرك وقد كنت عريانة وعارية.

⁷I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁸فمررت بك ورأيتك واذ زمنك زمن الحب. فبسطت ذيلي عليك وسترت عورتك وحلفت لك ودخلت معك في عهد يقول السيد الرب فصرت لي.

⁸Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁹فحمّمتك بالماء وغسلت عنك دماءك ومسحتك بالزيت.

⁹Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

¹⁰وألبستك مطرزة ونعلتك بالتّخس وازرتك بالكتان وكسوتك بزا.

¹⁰I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹¹وحليتك بالحلي فوضعت اسورة في يديك وطوقا في عنقك.

¹¹I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹²ووضعت خزامة في انفك واقراطا في اذنيك وتاج جمال على راسك.

¹²I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹³فتحليت بالذهب والفضة ولباسك الكتان والبز والمطرز. وأكلت السميذ والعسل والزيت وجملت جدا جدا فصلحت لمملكة.

¹³Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

¹⁴وخرج لك اسم في الامم لجمالك لانه كان كاملا ببهائي الذي جعلته عليك يقول السيد الرب

¹⁴Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁵فاتكلت على جمالك وزنيت على اسمك وسكبت زناك على كل عابر فكان له.

¹⁵But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

¹⁶وأخذت من ثيابك وصنعت لنفسك مرتفعات موشّاة وزنيت عليها. أمر لم يأت ولم يكن.

¹⁶You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁷واخذت امتعة زينتك من ذهبي ومن فضتي التي اعطيتك وصنعت لنفسك صور ذكور وزنيت بها.

¹⁷You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

¹⁸واخذت ثيابك المطرزة وغطيتها بها ووضعت امامها زيتي وبخوري.

¹⁸and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

¹⁹وخبزي الذي اعطيتك السميذ والزيت والعسل الذي اطعمتك وضعتها امامها رائحة سرور وهكذا كان يقول السيد الرب

¹⁹My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

²⁰اخذت بنيك وبناتك الذين ولدتهم لي وذبحتهم لها طعاما. أهو قليل من زناك

²⁰Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

²¹انك ذبحت بنيّ وجعلتهم يجوزون في النار لها.

²¹that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

²²وفي كل رجاساتك وزناك لم تذكري ايام صباك اذ كنت عريانة وعارية وكنت مدوسة بدمك.

²²In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

²³وكان بعد كل شرّك. ويل ويل لك يقول السيد الرب.

²³It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

²⁴انك بنيت لنفسك قبّة وصنعت لنفسك مرتفعة في كل شارع.

²⁴that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

²⁵في راس كل طريق بنيت مرتفعتك ورجّست جمالك وفرّجت رجليك لكل عابر واكثرت زناك.

²⁵You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

²⁶وزنيت مع جيرانك بني مصر الغلاظ اللحم وزدت في زناك لاغاظتي

²⁶You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

²⁷فهانذا قد مددت يدي عليك ومنعت عنك فريضتك واسلمتك لمرام مبغضاتك بنات الفلسطينيين اللواتي يخجلن من طريقك الرذيلة.

²⁷See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

²⁸وزنيت مع بني اشور اذ كنت لم تشبعي فزنيت بهم ولم تشبعي ايضا.

²⁸You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.

²⁹وكثرت زناك في ارض كنعان الى ارض الكلدانيين وبهذا ايضا لم تشبعي.

²⁹You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.

³⁰ما امرض قلبك يقول السيد الرب اذ فعلت كل هذا فعل امرأة زانية سليطة

³⁰How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

³¹ببنائك قبّتك في راس كل طريق وصنعتك مرتفعتك في كل شارع. ولم تكوني كزانية بل محتقرة الأجرة.

³¹in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

³²ايتها الزوجة الفاسقة تاخذ اجنبيين مكان زوجها.

³²A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!

³³لكل الزواني يعطون هدية. اما انت فقد اعطيت كل محبيك هداياك ورشيتهم ليأتوك من كل جانب للزنا بك

³³They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

³⁴وصار فيك عكس عادة النساء في زناك اذ لم يزن وراءك بل انت تعطين اجرة ولا اجرة تعطى لك فصرت بالعكس

³⁴You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

³⁵فلذلك يا زانية اسمعي كلام الرب.

³⁵Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:

³⁶هكذا قال السيد الرب. من اجل انه قد انفق نحاسك وانكشفت عورتك بزناك بمحبيك وبكل اصنام رجاساتك ولدماء بنيك الذين بذلتهم لها

³⁶Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

³⁷لذلك هانذا اجمع جميع محبيك الذين لذذت لهم وكل الذين احببتهم مع كل الذين ابغضتهم فاجمعهم عليك من حولك واكشف عورتك لهم لينظروا كل عورتك.

³⁷therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

³⁸واحكم عليك احكام الفاسقات السافكات الدم واجعلك دم السخط والغيرة.

³⁸I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

³⁹واسلمك ليدهم فيهدمون قبتك ويهدمون مرتفعاتك وينزعون عنك ثيابك وياخذون ادوات زينتك ويتركونك عريانة وعارية . ً

³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

⁴⁰ويصعدون عليك جماعة ويرجمونك بالحجارة ويقطعونك بسيوفهم.

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

⁴¹ويحرقون بيوتك بالنار ويجرون عليك احكاما قدام عيون نساء كثيرة. واكفّك عن الزنى وايضا لا تعطين اجرة بعد.

⁴¹They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

⁴²وأحل غضبي بك فتنصرف غيرتي عنك فاسكن ولا اغضب بعد.

⁴²So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³من اجل انك لم تذكري ايام صباك بل اسخطتني في كل هذا فهانذا ايضا اجلب طريقك على راسك يقول السيد الرب فلا تفعلين هذه الرذيلة فوق رجاساتك كلها

⁴³Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

⁴⁴هوذا كل ضارب مثل يضرب مثلا عليك قائلا مثل الام بنتها.

⁴⁴Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵ابنة امك انت الكارهة زوجها وبنيها. وانت اخت اخواتك اللواتي كرهن ازواجهنّ وابناءهنّ . ‎ امكنّ حثية وابوكنّ أموري.

⁴⁵You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶واختك الكبرى السامرة هي وبناتها الساكنة عن شمالك. واختك الصغرى الساكنة عن يمينك هي سدوم وبناتها.

⁴⁶Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷ولا في طريقهنّ سلكت ولا مثل رجاساتهنّ فعلت كأن ذلك قليل فقط ففسدت اكثر منهنّ في كل طرقك.

⁴⁷Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing , you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

⁴⁸حيّ انا يقول السيد الرب ان سدوم اختك لم تفعل هي ولا بناتها كما فعلت انت وبناتك.

⁴⁸As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

⁴⁹هذا كان اثم اختك سدوم الكبرياء والشبع من الخبز وسلام الاطمئنان كان لها ولبناتها ولم تشدد يد الفقير والمسكين.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰وتكبّرنّ وعملن الرجس امامي فنزعتهنّ كما رأيت.

⁵⁰They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵¹ولم تخطئ السامرة نصف خطاياك. بل زدت رجاساتك اكثر منهنّ وبرّرت اخواتك بكل رجاساتك التي فعلت.

⁵¹Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

⁵²فاحملي ايضا خزيك انت القاضية على اخواتك. بخطاياك التي بها رجست اكثر منهنّ هنّ ابرّ منك. فاخجلي انت ايضا واحملي عارك بتبريرك اخواتك.

⁵²You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

⁵³وأرجّع سبيهنّ سبي سدوم وبناتها وسبي السامرة وبناتها وسبي مسبييك في وسطها

⁵³I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;

⁵⁴لكي تحملي عارك وتخزي من كل ما فعلت بتعزيتك اياهنّ.

⁵⁴that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

⁵⁵واخواتك سدوم وبناتها يرجعن الى حالتهنّ القديمة والسامرة وبناتها يرجعن الى حالتهنّ القديمة وانت وبناتك ترجعن الى حالتكنّ القديمة.

⁵⁵Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶واختك سدوم لم تكن تذكر في فمك يوم كبريائك

⁵⁶For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

⁵⁷قبل ما انكشف شرّك كما في زمان تعيير بنات ارام وكل من حولها بنات الفلسطينيين اللواتي يحتقرنك من كل جهة.

⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

⁵⁸رذيلتك ورجاساتك انت تحملينها يقول الرب

⁵⁸You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.

⁵⁹لانه هكذا قال السيد الرب اني افعل بك كما فعلت اذ ازدريت بالقسم لنكث العهد.

⁵⁹For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁶⁰ولكني اذكر عهدي معك في ايام صباك واقيم لك عهدا ابديا.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

⁶¹فتتذكرين طرقك وتخجلين اذ تقبلين اخواتك الكبر والصغر واجعلهنّ لك بنات ولكن لا بعهدك.

⁶¹Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

⁶²وانا اقيم عهدي معك فتعلمين اني انا الرب.

⁶²I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;

⁶³لكي تتذكري فتخزي ولا تفتحي فاك بعد بسبب خزيك حين اغفر لك كل ما فعلت يقول السيد الرب

⁶³that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.
