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

¹He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

²ففتحت فمي فاطعمني ذلك الدرج.

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

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

³He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

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

⁴He said to me, Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.

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

⁵For you are 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 you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.

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 listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate Literally, have a hard forehead and hard-hearted.

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

⁸Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your 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 your forehead: don’t be afraid of them, 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 to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

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

¹¹Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; 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 Yahweh from his place.

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

¹³I 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 Yahweh was strong on 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 Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

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

¹⁶It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

¹⁷Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore 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 tell the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him no warning, nor speak 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 your hand.

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

¹⁹Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your 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 does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

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

²¹Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.

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

²²The hand of Yahweh was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.

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 Yahweh 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 on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself inside your house.

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

²⁵But you, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

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

²⁶and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall 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 you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
