< إِرْمِيَا 16 >
ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
«لَا تَتَّخِذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ لَكَ بَنُونَ وَلَا بَنَاتٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢ 2 |
“You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنِ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَعَنِ ٱلْبَنَاتِ ٱلْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، وَعَنْ أُمَّهَاتِهِمِ ٱللَّوَاتِي وَلَدْنَهُمْ، وَعَنْ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ وَلَدُوهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: | ٣ 3 |
For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
مِيتَاتِ أَمْرَاضٍ يَمُوتُونَ. لَا يُنْدَبُونَ وَلَا يُدْفَنُونَ، بَلْ يَكُونُونَ دِمْنَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَبِالسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ يَفْنَوْنَ، وَتَكُونُ جُثَثُهُمْ أُكْلًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٤ 4 |
“They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ ٱلنَّوْحِ وَلَا تَمْضِ لِلنَّدْبِ وَلَا تُعَزِّهِمْ، لِأَنِّي نَزَعْتُ سَلَامِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْإِحْسَانَ وَٱلْمَرَاحِمَ. | ٥ 5 |
For the LORD says, “Do not enter into the house of mourning. Do not go to lament. Do not bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
فَيَمُوتُ ٱلْكِبَارُ وَٱلصِّغَارُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا يُدْفَنُونَ وَلَا يَنْدُبُونَهُمْ، وَلَا يَخْمِشُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَا يَجْعَلُونَ قَرَعَةً مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men will not lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
وَلَا يَكْسِرُونَ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلْمَنَاحَةِ لِيُعَزُّوهُمْ عَنْ مَيِّتٍ، وَلَا يَسْقُونَهُمْ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ عَنْ أَبٍ أَوْ أُمٍّ. | ٧ 7 |
Men will not break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men will not give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
وَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ لِتَجْلِسَ مَعَهُمْ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ. | ٨ 8 |
“You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا مُبَطِّلٌ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ، أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ وَفِي أَيَّامِكُمْ، صَوْتَ ٱلطَّرَبِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْفَرَحِ، صَوْتَ ٱلْعَرِيسِ وَصَوْتَ ٱلْعَرُوسِ. | ٩ 9 |
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
«وَيَكُونُ حِينَ تُخْبِرُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لَكَ: لِمَاذَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْنَا بِكُلِّ هَذَا ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، فَمَا هُوَ ذَنْبُنَا وَمَا هِيَ خَطِيَّتُنَا ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأْنَاهَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا؟ | ١٠ 10 |
It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ آبَاءَكُمْ قَدْ تَرَكُونِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَذَهَبُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدُوهَا وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، وَإِيَّايَ تَرَكُوا، وَشَرِيعَتِي لَمْ يَحْفَظُوهَا. | ١١ 11 |
then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshiped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
وَأَنْتُمْ أَسَأْتُمْ فِي عَمَلِكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ. وَهَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَرَاءَ عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِي. | ١٢ 12 |
You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not listen to me.
فَأَطْرُدُكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُكُمْ، فَتَعْبُدُونَ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا حَيْثُ لَا أُعْطِيكُمْ نِعْمَةً. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
«لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يُقَالُ بَعْدُ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، | ١٤ 14 |
“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
بَلْ: حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي ٱلَّتِي طَرَدَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا. فَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ آبَاءَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
«هَأَنَذَا أُرْسِلُ إِلَى جَزَّافِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَيَصْطَادُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أُرْسِلُ إِلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلْقَانِصِينَ فَيَقْتَنِصُونَهُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ وَعَنْ كُلِّ أَكَمَةٍ وَمِنْ شُقُوقِ ٱلصُّخُورِ. | ١٦ 16 |
“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَى كُلِّ طُرُقِهِمْ. لَمْ تَسْتَتِرْ عَنْ وَجْهِي، وَلَمْ يَخْتَفِ إِثْمُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity is not concealed from my eyes.
وَأُعَاقِبُ أَوَّلًا إِثْمَهُمْ وَخَطِيَّتَهُمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ دَنَّسُوا أَرْضِي، وَبِجُثَثِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ قَدْ مَلَأُوا مِيرَاثِي». | ١٨ 18 |
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
يَارَبُّ، عِزِّي وَحِصْنِي وَمَلْجَإِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيْقِ، إِلَيْكَ تَأْتِي ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّمَا وَرِثَ آبَاؤُنَا كَذِبًا وَأَبَاطِيلَ وَمَا لَا مَنْفَعَةَ فِيهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
LORD, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
هَلْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِنَفْسِهِ آلِهَةً وَهِيَ لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً؟». | ٢٠ 20 |
Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
«لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أُعَرِّفُهُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ، أُعَرِّفُهُمْ يَدِي وَجَبَرُوتِي، فَيَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ ٱسْمِي يَهْوَهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
“Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
