< إِرْمِيَا 14 >
كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْقَحْطِ: | ١ 1 |
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
«نَاحَتْ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْوَابُهَا ذَبُلَتْ. حَزِنَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَصَعِدَ عَوِيلُ أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢ 2 |
"Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
وَأَشْرَافُهُمْ أَرْسَلُوا أَصَاغِرَهُمْ لِلْمَاءِ. أَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْأَجْبَابِ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً. رَجَعُوا بِآنِيَتِهِمْ فَارِغَةً. خَزُوا وَخَجِلُوا وَغَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ | ٣ 3 |
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَدْ تَشَقَّقَتْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَطَرٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ خَزِيَ ٱلْفَلَّاحُونَ. غَطَّوْا رُؤُوسَهُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.
حَتَّى أَنَّ ٱلْإِيَّلَةَ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَلَدَتْ وَتَرَكَتْ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَلأٌ. | ٥ 5 |
Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
ٱلْفِرَا وَقَفَتْ عَلَى ٱلْهِضَابِ تَسْتَنْشِقُ ٱلرِّيحَ مِثْلَ بَنَاتِ آوَى. كَلَّتْ عُيُونُهَا لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عُشْبٌ». | ٦ 6 |
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage."
وَإِنْ تَكُنْ آثَامُنَا تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْنَا يَارَبُّ، فَٱعْمَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّ مَعَاصِيَنَا كَثُرَتْ. إِلَيْكَ أَخْطَأْنَا. | ٧ 7 |
"Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
يَا رَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مُخَلِّصَهُ فِي زَمَانِ ٱلضِّيقِ، لِمَاذَا تَكُونُ كَغَرِيبٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكَمُسَافِرٍ يَمِيلُ لِيَبِيتَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
لِمَاذَا تَكُونُ كَإِنْسَانٍ قَدْ تَحَيَّرَ، كَجَبَّارٍ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ؟ وَأَنْتَ فِي وَسْطِنَا يَارَبُّ، وَقَدْ دُعِينَا بِٱسْمِكَ. لَا تَتْرُكْنَا! | ٩ 9 |
Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? Yet you, Jehovah, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us."
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ: «هَكَذَا أَحَبُّوا أَنْ يَجُولُوا. لَمْ يَمْنَعُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ، فَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَقْبَلْهُمْ. اَلْآنَ يَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
Thus says Jehovah to this people, "Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins."
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «لَا تُصَلِّ لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ لِلْخَيْرِ. | ١١ 11 |
Jehovah said to me, "Do not pray for this people for their good.
حِينَ يَصُومُونَ لَا أَسْمَعُ صُرَاخَهُمْ، وَحِينَ يُصْعِدُونَ مُحْرَقَةً وَتَقْدِمَةً لَا أَقْبَلُهُمْ، بَلْ بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْوَبَإِ أَنَا أُفْنِيهِمْ». | ١٢ 12 |
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence."
فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ! هُوَذَا ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ يَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَ سَيْفًا، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ جُوعٌ بَلْ سَلَامًا ثَابِتًا أُعْطِيكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then I said, "Ah, Jehovah. Look, the prophets tell them, 'You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.'"
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: «بِٱلْكَذِبِ يَتَنَبَّأُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ بِٱسْمِي. لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَلَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ، وَلَا كَلَّمْتُهُمْ. بِرُؤْيَا كَاذِبَةٍ وَعِرَافَةٍ وَبَاطِلٍ وَمَكْرِ قُلُوبِهِمْ هُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَكُمْ». | ١٤ 14 |
Then Jehovah said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I did not send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ بِٱسْمِي وَأَنَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لَا يَكُونُ سَيْفٌ وَلَا جُوعٌ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: «بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ يَفْنَى أُولَئِكَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I did not send them, yet they say, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land:' 'By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.'
وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لَهُ يَكُونُ مَطْرُوحًا فِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ جَرَى ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلسَّيْفِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ هُمْ وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ وَبَنَوُهُمْ وَبَنَاتُهُمْ، وَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرَّهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them."
وَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَةَ: لِتَذْرِفْ عَيْنَايَ دُمُوعًا لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا وَلَا تَكُفَّا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَذْرَاءَ بِنْتَ شَعْبِي سُحِقَتْ سَحْقًا عَظِيمًا، بِضَرْبَةٍ مُوجِعَةٍ جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
"You shall say this word to them, 'Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
إِذَا خَرَجْتُ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَإِذَا ٱلْقَتْلَى بِٱلسَّيْفِ. وَإِذَا دَخَلْتُ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ، فَإِذَا ٱلْمَرْضَى بِٱلْجُوعِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلنَّبِيَّ وَٱلْكَاهِنَ كِلَيْهِمَا يَطُوفَانِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يَعْرِفَانِ شَيْئًا». | ١٨ 18 |
If I go forth into the field, then, look, the slain with the sword. And if I enter into the city, then, look, those who are sick with famine. For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.'"
هَلْ رَفَضْتَ يَهُوذَا رَفْضًا، أَوْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسُكَ صِهْيَوْنَ؟ لِمَاذَا ضَرَبْتَنَا وَلَا شِفَاءَ لَنَا؟ ٱنْتَظَرْنَا ٱلسَّلَامَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَيْرٌ، وَزَمَانَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ فَإِذَا رُعْبٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
"Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
قَدْ عَرَفْنَا يَارَبُّ شَرَّنَا، إِثْمَ آبَائِنَا، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَيْكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
We acknowledge, Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
لَا تَرْفُضْ لِأَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لَا تَهِنْ كُرْسِيَّ مَجْدِكَ. اُذْكُرْ. لَا تَنْقُضْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَنَا. | ٢١ 21 |
Do not abhor us, for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, do not break your covenant with us.
هَلْ يُوجَدُ فِي أَبَاطِيلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ مَنْ يُمْطِرُ، أَوْ هَلْ تُعْطِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَابِلًا؟ أَمَا أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟ فَنَرْجُوكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Jehovah our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things."
