< إِرْمِيَا 18 >
ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
«قُمِ ٱنْزِلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ وَهُنَاكَ أُسْمِعُكَ كَلَامِي». | ٢ 2 |
Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.
فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ، وَإِذَا هُوَ يَصْنَعُ عَمَلًا عَلَى ٱلدُّولَابِ. | ٣ 3 |
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
فَفَسَدَ ٱلْوِعَاءُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَصْنَعُهُ مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ بِيَدِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ، فَعَادَ وَعَمِلَهُ وِعَاءً آخَرَ كَمَا حَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ أَنْ يَصْنَعَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
فَصَارَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ٥ 5 |
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
«أَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِكُمْ كَهَذَا ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ هُوَذَا كَٱلطِّينِ بِيَدِ ٱلْفَخَّارِيِّ أَنْتُمْ هَكَذَا بِيَدِي يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ 6 |
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are all of you in mine hand, O house of Israel.
تَارَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ بِٱلْقَلْعِ وَٱلْهَدْمِ وَٱلْإِهْلَاكِ، | ٧ 7 |
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
فَتَرْجِعُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَّةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهَا عَنْ شَرِّهَا، فَأَنْدَمُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي قَصَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْنَعَهُ بِهَا. | ٨ 8 |
If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
وَتَارَةً أَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَعَلَى مَمْلَكَةٍ بِٱلْبِنَاءِ وَٱلْغَرْسِ، | ٩ 9 |
And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
فَتَفْعَلُ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، فَلَا تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِي، فَأَنْدَمُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي قُلْتُ إِنِّي أُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهَا بِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
«فَٱلْآنَ كَلِّمْ رِجَالَ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا مُصْدِرٌ عَلَيْكُمْ شَرًّا، وَقَاصِدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ قَصْدًا. فَٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ، وَأَصْلِحُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return all of you now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
فَقَالُوا: «بَاطِلٌ! لِأَنَّنَا نَسْعَى وَرَاءَ أَفْكَارِنَا، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ عِنَادِ قَلْبِهِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ». | ١٢ 12 |
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱسْأَلُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. مَنْ سَمِعَ كَهَذِهِ؟ مَا يُقْشَعَرُّ مِنْهُ جِدًّا عَمِلَتْ عَذْرَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore thus says the LORD; Ask all of you now among the heathen, who has heard such things: the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
هَلْ يَخْلُو صَخْرُ حَقْلِي مِنْ ثَلْجِ لُبْنَانَ؟ أَوْ هَلْ تَنْشَفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْمُنْفَجِرَةُ ٱلْبَارِدَةُ ٱلْجَارِيَةُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which comes from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
لِأَنَّ شَعْبِي قَدْ نَسِيَني! بَخَّرُوا لِلْبَاطِلِ، وَقَدْ أَعْثَرُوهُمْ فِي طُرُقِهِمْ، فِي ٱلسُّبُلِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي شُعَبٍ، فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ مُسَهَّلٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Because my people has forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a road not properly built;
لِتُجْعَلْ أَرْضُهُمْ خَرَابًا وَصَفِيرًا أَبَدِيًّا. كُلُّ مَارٍّ فِيهَا يَدْهَشُ وَيَنْغِضُ رَأْسَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
كَرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ أُبَدِّدُهُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. أُرِيهِمِ ٱلْقَفَا لَا ٱلْوَجْهَ فِي يَوْمِ مُصِيبَتِهِمْ». | ١٧ 17 |
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
فَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ فَنُفَكِّرُ عَلَى إِرْمِيَا أَفْكَارًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ لَا تَبِيدُ عَنِ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَلَا ٱلْمَشُورَةَ عَنِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ، وَلَا ٱلْكَلِمَةَ عَنِ ٱلنَّبِيِّ. هَلُمَّ فَنَضْرِبُهُ بِٱللِّسَانِ وَلِكُلِّ كَلَامِهِ لَا نُصْغِي». | ١٨ 18 |
Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
أَصْغِ لِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱسْمَعْ صَوْتَ أَخْصَامِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
هَلْ يُجَازَى عَنْ خَيْرٍ بِشَرٍّ؟ لِأَنَّهُمْ حَفَرُوا حُفْرَةً لِنَفْسِي. ٱذْكُرْ وُقُوفِي أَمَامَكَ لِأَتَكَلَّمَ عَنْهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ لِأَرُدَّ غَضَبَكَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.
لِذَلِكَ سَلِّمْ بَنِيهِمْ لِلْجُوعِ، وَٱدْفَعْهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلسَّيْفِ، فَتَصِيرَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ ثَكَالَى وَأَرَامِلَ، وَتَصِيرَ رِجَالُهُمْ قَتْلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَشُبَّانُهُمْ مَضْرُوبِي ٱلسَّيْفِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
لِيُسْمَعْ صِيَاحٌ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِمْ إِذْ تَجْلِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا بَغْتَةً. لِأَنَّهُمْ حَفَرُوا حُفْرَةً لِيُمْسِكُونِي، وَطَمَرُوا فِخَاخًا لِرِجْلَيَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ مَشُورَتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ لِلْمَوْتِ. لَا تَصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا تَمْحُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، بَلْ لِيَكُونُوا مُتَعَثِّرِينَ أَمَامَكَ. فِي وَقْتِ غَضَبِكَ عَامِلْهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you; deal thus with them in the time of your anger.
