< إِرْمِيَا 16 >
ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
And thou shalt not take a wife, saith the Lord God of Israel:
«لَا تَتَّخِذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱمْرَأَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ لَكَ بَنُونَ وَلَا بَنَاتٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ. | ٢ 2 |
and there shall be no son born to thee, nor daughter 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 thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them 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 shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.
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 |
Thus saith the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.
فَيَمُوتُ ٱلْكِبَارُ وَٱلصِّغَارُ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. لَا يُدْفَنُونَ وَلَا يَنْدُبُونَهُمْ، وَلَا يَخْمِشُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَلَا يَجْعَلُونَ قَرَعَةً مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:
وَلَا يَكْسِرُونَ خُبْزًا فِي ٱلْمَنَاحَةِ لِيُعَزُّوهُمْ عَنْ مَيِّتٍ، وَلَا يَسْقُونَهُمْ كَأْسَ ٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ عَنْ أَبٍ أَوْ أُمٍّ. | ٧ 7 |
and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.
وَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَ ٱلْوَلِيمَةِ لِتَجْلِسَ مَعَهُمْ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ. | ٨ 8 |
Thou shalt not enter into the banquet-house, 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 thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, 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 |
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt report to this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Wherefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before 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 thou shalt say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;
وَأَنْتُمْ أَسَأْتُمْ فِي عَمَلِكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ. وَهَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَرَاءَ عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لَا تَسْمَعُوا لِي. | ١٢ 12 |
(and ye sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to hearken 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 off from this good land into a land which neither ye nor your fathers have known; and ye shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.
«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, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that 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, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which 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 many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَى كُلِّ طُرُقِهِمْ. لَمْ تَسْتَتِرْ عَنْ وَجْهِي، وَلَمْ يَخْتَفِ إِثْمُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٧ 17 |
For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.
وَأُعَاقِبُ أَوَّلًا إِثْمَهُمْ وَخَطِيَّتَهُمْ ضِعْفَيْنِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ دَنَّسُوا أَرْضِي، وَبِجُثَثِ مَكْرُهَاتِهِمْ وَرَجَاسَاتِهِمْ قَدْ مَلَأُوا مِيرَاثِي». | ١٨ 18 |
And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.
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 |
O Lord, thou art my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to thee the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.
هَلْ يَصْنَعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِنَفْسِهِ آلِهَةً وَهِيَ لَيْسَتْ آلِهَةً؟». | ٢٠ 20 |
Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?
«لِذَلِكَ هَأَنَذَا أُعَرِّفُهُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةَ، أُعَرِّفُهُمْ يَدِي وَجَبَرُوتِي، فَيَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّ ٱسْمِي يَهْوَهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
